I know it is a short chapter but the next one will be up soon! Please tell me what you think, I need feedback!

"This cannot be…" the old man muttered to him self. "It was destroyed with my brothers' body. We must go after that bird. You," the man pointed to Inuyasha. "Come with me. We must get the jewel back." He grabbed his arm, and dragged Inuyasha along with him. For an old man he was pretty strong.

"Where are we going?" Inuyasha asked.

"To get the sacred jewel from that demon. You have no idea what power that little jewel holds." The man explained.

The bird they were following was enormous. Its wingspan alone had to be about forty feet at the least. It was easy to keep in sight because of its enormous size, but its speed was incredible. "What is that thing?" Inuyasha asked as they ran after it.

"That my dear boy is a demon. It wishes to posses the power of the Shikon Jewel, and if it succeeds we will all die a painful death." The old man Miroku said.

They ran as far as they could until they reached a river bank. What they did not know was that Kagome was following them. She kept her distance, and made sure not to get too close.

"We are going to have to take it down from here. We cannot travel any farther. Do you know how to use a bow and arrow?" Miroku asked.

"Um no I don't." Inuyasha said puzzled.

"I sense that you hold great spiritual powers. It is true that you look like my brother, but you also have great powers like him. I believe you can shoot this arrow if you call upon those powers. Here," he handed Inuyasha the bow and a single arrow. "you must be the one to take it down, not I."

Inuyasha looked at the tools with confusion. He had already almost died once today, he did not want to make a second so he decided to try. He took the arrow out of the mans hand, and placed it on the bow as best he could. He pulled back slowly, and aimed at his target.

Inuyasha took and deep breath, and let go. It hit the giant beast but it only cut off its claw. The claw fell to the ground in front of Inuyasha. "Ewe." Inuyasha said moving it with his foot.

Suddenly Kagome burst out of the woods behind them. "You fools cannot do anything. I will kill it, and finally I will have the sacred jewel." She darted towards the demon.

Her claws were out and she was ready to fight. She bared her teeth at the demon allowing a low growl escape them. "You're mine!" she yelled as she ran in for the kill. The bird was too fast for her though. It easily dodged it, and pecked Kagome repeatedly until she fell to the ground.

Inuyasha did not know what to do; he had to take down that thing. He turned to Miroku, and took another arrow. He looked down at the dismembered claw. He picked it up and tied it to the arrow. "Might as well die with all its body parts." He shrugged. He pulled the arrow back, took a deep breath then let go. It seemed like just a normal arrow flying through the air at first, but then it picked up some unnatural speed, and began to glow a purple light. Just when it looked like it was going to miss, it hit the bird straight in the chest.

The bird burst into ashes, but that was not all that burst. The jewel was in mid air as it cracked, and shattered. The fragments flew in all directions at different speeds. Some made it farther then others, much farther then others.
