"Is she going to be ok?" Inuyasha asked Kaede.

"Aye, she'll be alright. She needs rest. What happened to her?"

"A demon, Iyashii, grabbed her. He must have knocked her unconscious…Damn him!" He hit the wall with his fist.

"Keep ye voice down! Kagome will wake."

They heard a groan in the background. Kagome slowly sat up. Inuyasha rushed to her side, "Kagome…" he said softly.

Kagome put her hand to her head, "I feel so dizzy…" She looked up at Inuyasha then around the hut, then back at Inuyasha. "Inuaysha…why am I here? We were eating lunch...And the village…" she trailed off.

"Kagome…" he replied, concerned, "Don't you remember what happened?" She shook her head. "A demon was attacking the village…"

"But why am I here?"

He looked away, "I'm sorry…The demon grabbed you. I didn't get to you fast enough…I guess he knocked you unconscious."

Kagome put her hand on his shoulder, "Inuyasha…Ow!"

"What's wrong?" he asked concerned.

"My shoulder…a searing pain…but it's gone…"

Kaede walked over and said, "Kagome, ye need rest. Inuyasha, leave us please." Inuyasha reluctantly left the hut.

After a few hours of sleep, Kagome woke up and got dressed. She walked out of the hut to find Inuyasha sitting on the ground leaning against the wall of the hut.

Inuyasha looked up, "Hey Kagome. How are you feeling?" he asked while he stood up.

Kagome smiled, "I'm much better, thanks."

Inuyasha smiled back, then turned and walked while he said, "Come on, the others are waiting."

Kagome took a few steps, and became very dizzy, almost falling over. "Ugh, my head…" she said.

Inuyasha had turned around to almost see her fall. He rushed to her and made sure she was ok, "Kagome, I think you should rest some more," he said, he put his hand on her right shoulder.

Weirdly enough, his touch seemed to have an effect. She smiled, "No I think I'm alright."

"You sure?"

"Mm hm!" she said happily and ran ahead.

Inuyasha thought as he watched her, "Kagome is running pretty fast. I thought she'd be tired after what happened to her…" He caught up with her and they went to find their friends.

"Kagome! How are you feeling?" said Sango as they approached, "We were worried about you."

"Yes we were, and Inuyasha has barely left your side these past few hours," Miroku added.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha who had walked a few feet away, she said, "Really?" She blushed ever so slightly.

"Kagome!" Shippou ran and jumped into Kagome's arms.

"Ouch!" Kagome exclaimed.

Shippou immediately jumped down and said, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you!"

Kagome shook her head, "It's nothing. I'm fine." She smiled and picked up Shippou.

"That's more than nothing…" thought Inuyasha.

They all decided they would go look for more jewel shards and they started to walk along a path towards the mountains. The scenery was beautiful. The sounds of birds chirping, running water from a stream to their left; many evergreens surrounding them all over, and the mountains in the distance with white peaks.

Inuyasha and Kagome walked ahead.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said.

"Yes?" he replied.

"Tell me what happened earlier today."

"Well…we were eating. But a demon started to attack the village. We rushed down to help."

"Yes, continue."

"The demon had a jewel shard in his arm, he grabbed you and Sango with that arm, and I guess you became unconscious then…"

"What happened?"

"I attacked him…and the jewel shard came out of his arm. He dropped you. I was about to attack him again when he disappeared with the jewel shard."

"Then I guess it won't be the last time we see him."

"Do you sense any jewel shards near?"

"Unfortunately not." Kagome looked into the distance. She said quietly, "Inuyasha, thank you for saving Sango and me."

"What?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome shook her head, "Nothing."

"Feh."

Kagome smelt something. She said "What is that smell?"

Inuyasha smelt it too. He knew what it was. He gave her a funny look. "Kagome, how do you smell that?" he asked.

Kagome shook her head, "It's gone what ever it was." Inuyasha all of a sudden looked straight ahead and stopped. Everyone followed his gaze. In the distance a large dust cloud was approaching them.

"Is it a demon?" thought Kagome.

"What is he doing here…" Inuyasha said, and he growled. He had a look of utmost disgust upon his face. For a second or two, Kagome smelt the smell again.

The group watched the cloud get closer and closer until it was right in front of them. Soon the dust cloud cleared. Who stood in front of them, but…

Who is it? Can you guess? Please tell us what you think .
