I kept hearing these low growls sounding right up to my ear, feeling his breath on my neck. He was breathing heavily as like he ran all the way here, not stopping for a break.

I didn't want to move, not because I was scared (even though I slightly was) but because this is something that hasn't happened for about 4 years or so. No one remembers how to act if this happened or what to do, but reflexes do take a part slightly. Also, there was some vibration coming from him that told me he didn't truly want to hurt anybody. But Sango and Miroku didn't know that.

Without knowing, both of them had been yelling at me, threating Inuyasha to…I don't know, that they'd do something.

"…gme…Stay…lm!" Sango screamed towards me, but I couldn't hear her too clearly. All I could hear was a steady stream of growls coming from Inuyasha, like he was trying to calm me with his rhythm.

I had to tell them to not hurt him! I swallowed quickly and was about to yell out when…

Suddenly, everything turned black.

-Sango's POV-

Before I could process anything, I already had Hiraikotsu behind me, ready to throw. Instincts kicked in when I was about to throw but I felt a hand on my shoulder before I could do anything. Looking over, I saw Miroku staring right at me and slightly jerking his head in Kagome's direction.

Slowly turning over, I spotted something I hoped I wouldn't see for the rest of my life. Inuyasha's eyes were blood red, teeth out and growling. He had his arms around Kagome, his nails looking like it was piercing her. I couldn't help but turn overprotective slightly, wanting to get Kagome away.

"Kagome! Stay calm! We're coming!" I yelled, not wanting her to do anything to put her in more danger.

Miroku took his hand off, seeing that I got what was going on. He carefully started taking some talisman out.

Skimming over Kagome, I saw that she was about to say something, but Inuyasha squeezed the air out of her before she said anything. She went limb, her legs suddenly turning weak. Her head laid back, she started to fall down, but Inuyasha fastened his arms around her. He picked her up, one arm under her legs and on across her back.

I couldn't stand it anymore and sprinted forward. But Inuyasha being in demon form, had a lot more speed than I did. He took a big leap into the tree closest to him. He perched there, quickly snapping his head towards us. His eyes pulsed into deeper shades of red, sending out a huge growl. Then he disappeared.

-Normal POV-

Miroku ran to Sango, making sure everything was ok. They both stood in silence for a few minutes, slowly soaking up what just happened.

"Sango... Do you know what just happened?" Miroku asked as he took a few steps closer. His grip slightly easing on his staff as the demonic aura dissipated in the distance.

"…No, but if anyone had to capture Kagome, at least it was Inuyasha and not some stray demon…" she said, but sounding slightly sad.

Again, a few minutes passed by.

"Miroku," Sango quietly said, "what just happened?" She tilted her head to face Miroku who slightly smiled at the repetition of his own question.

"It's Inuyasha. So we know that he wouldn't hurt her in any way possible, even in his demon form," said Miroku in a monotone voice, trying to comfort Sango with his presence. "Everyone in the village knows that they share a special bond that can't be broken from anything, and it's strengthening every day."

His arm was slowly slithering around Sango's waist as she became less stiff in response. She rested her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes, replaying the event in her mind, reassuring herself that Kagome and Inuyasha would be ok, where ever they were.

After several minutes, both started making their way back to Kaede's, not wanting to leave when Inuyasha and Kagome could return at any moment.

"Sango! Miroku! Did you decide to not go on your trip?" said someone in a childish voice. Giggling was heard as Rin started running, almost tripping on a rock along the way.

"Rin! Weren't you going with Kaede to go help one of the villagers? What are you going here?" Miroku asked as he kneeled down to pat her on the head. Rin smiled up at him, explaining her situation of how she needed to stay with the little children.

Night time already fell before anyone knew it. Sango got up from the floor and went to see what Miroku was doing in the next room. Taking the sleeping child off her lap and onto some blankets, she walked in to see him lying against the wall in deep thought.

"Hey," Sango whispered as she went to go sit next to him. A small fire was lit, crackling and burning with a low flame, just enough to keep the room warm.

"Sango, I have a question to ask you," Miroku said as he crossed his legs into a better position. He looked up from his hanging head to meet the eyes of the women he loves. He sent a pleading look of one that ask if he should just stop talking. In response, Sango nodded her head, urging him to go on and awaited for him to continue. "When you saw Inuyasha, did you spot anything weird?"

"Uh…" Sango closed her mouth, thinking of what happened earlier. She tried remembering, every little detail of what happened, but it was harder that it looked. Everything happened suddenly so details are hard to come by. "…Not that I can remember? Did you spot anything?"

A minute passed by before he answered. "My mind might be playing tricks on me, but I'm sure that Inuyasha didn't have his beads of subjugation on."
