Ayano: Here is another chapter!

After their long morning school life, night fell to the sky and crickets croaking could be heard.

'Gochisou sama!' Kagome clasped her hands and said it when she was done eating.

'Onee-chan, you're going now?' Sota asked.

'Hn! My friends are waiting for me! I might not be back until next week, I guess!' Kagome informed them.

'Oh, and please don't anyhow tell my classmates about all sorts of diseases, grandpa!' Kagome looked sternly at her grandfather. He just gulped looking at Kagome. Kagome got up from her seat and took her backpack.

'Ittekimasu!'

'Itterashai!' Her family wished her good luck. Kagome held on to her bicycle and jumped into the well. Thoughts of seeing her friends made her heart filled with warmth. Once Kagome climbed up, Shippou ran towards her.

'Kagome! We've been waiting!' He jumped and hugged her on the shoulder. Shippou was glad to see Kagome.

'Yosh! Shall we go?' Sango asked sitting on Kirara's back with Miroku.

'Hn!' Kagome agreed. Naraku had got hold of all the jewel shards... in order to prevent him from abusing it, we're gonna save her! Kagome thought. Kirara was flying in the air with Sango, Miroku and Shippou on its back and InuYasha was carrying Kagome while running.

'Gawrarwh!' A demonic voice was heard from behind the bushes. Then, it came charging at the gang. InuYasha drew out Tetsusaiga and swing it at the attacker.

'Shut up, you worthless monster!' He snapped while slashing the sword at the monster. Unfortunately, it dodged the attack and slammed InuYasha with its paw. InuYasha got up, pounced on the monster and slashed it with his claws. The monster roared in pain as Miroku unleashed his wind tunnel to clear it away. After their fight, they continued on with their journey and found a village.

Upon seeing travellers passing by, the villagers scurried off to their own tiny huts in fear. As they walked further into the village, they found fresh blood stains on the ground.

'My senses tells me that something terrible had happened before we arrived.' Miroku commented.

'There were thousands of demons attacking us not long ago. It must be because of the scent of the hanyou.' A frail old lady spoke.

'A hanyou?' Kagome asked.

'That hanyou is a young demon fox. It's about the same age as your companion here.' The old lady pointed at Shippou.

'Eh? Me?' Shippou asked in confusion.

'But why are the demons looking for this demon fox?' Sango asked. The old lady's eyes widened and whispered.

'Because if you've found her, you could use her to grant a wish.'
