As dawn was starting to show the suns ray landed over everything with its warmth. They ray began to light the world to destroy the darkness, a leave shimmered in the warmth from the sun. But the wind was not as kind to the leaf as the sun was, with its strong pushing power it caused the leaf to fall from the tree. The leaf fell down expecting to land on the ground. But something was in its way, as the leaf instead landed smack down right in the middle of the person face. This cause the man to wake up with a start, only to be calm and slightly annoyed that it was the leaf that had cause him to startle.
Miroku sigh as he wave the leave away, clearing his face so he could see in front of him. He saw all of his friends, Kagome in the strange sleeping bag with Shippo cuddled into her chest, Inuyasha rested in the tree above Kagome so if any one came more than a foot closer to Kagome would be killed, and sleeping with the giant cat demon Kirara rest the second most strongest person in the group.
Sango slept with such peace it was hard to believe she was deadly as she was beautiful, which was a weakness to men who thought Sango was just another woman.
'They would be wrong' Miroku thought with a smile 'Sango is anything but a regular woman' he thought again, silently admiring her beauty… nothing lecherous of course…not completely lecherous. Then Miroku herd something large land on the ground, he was not frighten for he knew it was just Inuyasha who landed on the ground.
"Morning Inuyasha" Miroku greeted, Inuyasha gave his famous 'ked', which was Inuyasha for 'good morning'. Inuyasha slowly revolved his neck as a way to stretch before he brought his left hand up to his right shoulder and gently hit it, an old stretching technique that Miroku had seen Keade do. (That is an actual fact, I saw it in an episode when Inuyasha did that) Inuyasha then turned his gaze to Miroku.
"I'm going hunting, when I come back the other be awake, got it" Inuyasha ask, he was slightly more grumpy in the morning, but Miroku was use to it.
"Very well" Miroku said now standing up himself as he then began to stretch. Inuyasha had already ran off to go and find something good for breakfast. Kagome usual handled the meals, but it was some time ago agreed the Inuyasha or the other had to provided one meal a day for some financial reason, which probably had something to do with money.
Miroku sigh as he made his way to Kagome, deciding to let Sango sleep a little longer, so that she could keep that beautiful peaceful face on a little longer. Once Miroku stood above Kagome he kneeled down and slowly began to shake her awake. Eventually Kagome awoken from her slumber to open her eyes. It took a second for her eyes to gain all of their focus back before. She look up at Miroku and smiled at him, long ago Miroku would have done something lecherous, but now feelings had develop for the priestess, feeling of what a brother would have for a sister, which in the long run kill all lecherous thoughts of Kagome.
"Morning Kagome," Miroku greeted as he stood up again, Kagome said up – careful of Shippo – and stretch. Once done Miroku held a hand out so Kagome could be brought up, with a small thank you Kagome then kneeled back down to wake up the small fox child.
"Do you also mind waking up Sango?" Miroku ask, not wanting to be the one to wake up Sango, and also fear she might smack him if she got the wrong idea. Kagome nodded with understand meant.
Once Inuyasha return with a big rabbit every one was awake and Kagome had just finish rolling up her sleeping bag and was now reaching for her yellow one to get the needed tools to start cooking the bunny. Inuyasha began skinning and gutting the rabbit while Kagome got the necessary tools and few ingredients brought from home to make the bunny taste all that better. Now the bunny was roasting over the fire, turning into a fine golden brown. Soon it was done and now every one was eating the delicious food, some would say the food was too much for breakfast, but with the stuff and traveling they do on regular bases it was a perfect amount of food for breakfast. Once every one eat Inuyasha put out the fire while the others got ready. Now Kagome stood with her back pack on and Shippo on her shoulder, Miroku stood wide awake with his staff also proving he was ready to go, and Sango also stood with her Hirikotsu as if it was nothing but light back pack on her back and Kirara on her shoulder. Once Inuyasha declared every one ready they headed off towards north as the rumor said they would find it.
HOURS LATERS
Every continued to walk, deciding to skip lunch for they were all use to usual skipping the second meal of the day. They all were walking fine, except for Kagome. She wasn't sure when it started, but she began to get a head ache. It started small, which Kagome had gotten before and thought nothing of it. But now it was practically a migrant as she began to get unbelievable dizzy. Her strength also began to sap as well, she felt like she had just done a huge battle and was now just walking with her friends, she so wanted to just lay down and just fall asleep, but no she won't slow every one down.
Inuyasha a head of every one in the beginning of the trip as they usual, but eventually it was now Miroku and Sango in front of him. Shippo was also now in front of them, on Sango shoulder from some boredom of being on the same shoulder for so long. That's when he began to get worried for Kagome, she was slacking, and she usually never did that. But Inuyasha was just too stubborn to do that, so he continued to walk without looking behind his shoulder.
Kagome dizziness was now really starting to effect her, she began to walk in zigzags, and she began to feel so tired her back pack was about to fall off. Finally the dizziness was just to much for Kagome, and so she fell down with a large 'thump' her back pack crushing her slightly as well.
The sound of some one falling to the ground was what finally made Inuyasha turned around, including the others. They all gasp seeing Kagome on the ground knock out unconscious, Inuyasha was the first one by her side, looking over her for injury but detecting none.
"What's wrong? What happen?" Sango suddenly ask standing next to Inuyasha form who was down holding his Kagome, Miroku also standing next to him while Shippo was on Inuyasha shoulder.
"Is she hurt?" Sango ask, Inuyasha shook his head no, now every one thinking what could've happen.
"I-is she sick" ask with a small but hearable voice, both Miroku and Sango stop to think of this and even consider it.
"No she isn't, I would be able to smell her" Inuyasha said as he still held Kagome close to him sniffing her offer scared of what happen to her.
"Maybe it was the sun" Sango tried "It is hot out today" Miroku thought about it, but didn't agree. Surely if she was that hot she would have spoken up or gotten some water from those strange bottles, which were full. Miroku than focus his eyes on Kagome, looking at her aura for any signs that might help them. That's when he saw it, very faintly a different white aura was drawing Kagome energy out, taking it out at this very moment. Miroku thought for only a second wonder what the hell it could be, until it finally hit him.
"Misuto!" Miroku suddenly said, realization coming to his face.
"What?" Inuyasha screech, not in the mood for game.
"Misuto, it's a demon that drains the powers of priest and priestess." Miroku said, now Sango having a look of realization as well.
"Of course, it must have sense Kagome strong powers and try to drain her. A growl from a half demon below was herd as he now sat up, Kagome laid down gently before he stood.
"Then I'll go kill the bastard." Inuyasha said about to head towards him.
"No Inuyasha" Sango said causing him to stop "You can't go" Inuyasha now turned his head un happy from the request.
"Why the hell not, this demon sounds easy" he argued as Sango sigh.
"Inuyasha only some one with spiritual powers can sense and see him, no demon can sense him, and even if you did find him your sword or claws would just scare it away." Sango then reach into her kimono to bring out a clam used as a box's before opening up, revealing pale blue paste. "This poison is the only thing that will kill a Misuto" She said, Inuyasha look unhappy for he still wanted to kill the thing that dare hurt his Kagome in any way.
"Don't worry Inuyasha" Miroku said putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder when he turned his back to them. "Me and Sango will kill the demon, you know Kagome is just as important to us as she it to you, let us take care of it." Miroku said, Inuyasha thought about it for a minuet before finally answering them.
"Ked, you better not screw up" He answered. Both Sango and Miroku knew how hard it was for Inuyasha to trust people, but they wouldn't let him down, or Kagome. For if they didn't hurry almost all of Kagome energy would be suck up and she might even die. So they were now off, Sango not even bother to change for it was a simple job if done right. And so they both began to follow the white aura leaving Inuyasha to stay and tend to Kagome, making sure she remained safe.
Miroku and Sango began to walk towards the enemy with Miroku leading the way, Sango slightly blush as she realized they were alone. It had been a while since she and him were promise to be married, but it still felt strange just being alone with him. Miroku however was more than happy with being alone with Sango, if only the possibility of Kagome dying wasn't there he would have endlessly given her complements to make her blush madly. Sango however understood and did not complain, Miroku could feel that they were getting closer. As he felt the strange white aura getting stronger, as well as the sense of Kagome aura which was getting weak fast. They quicken their steps, until Miroku stop holding out his staff for Sango to also stop.
"What's wrong Miroku?" She ask curiously, now sensing for danger.
"I see it" He said, in Miroku eyes right now stood the demon they were looking for. The demon was pure white, like Kanna. But its eyes were a shade of light pink and it also appeared more fat and dress badly. It look as if it was stuffing its face with a bag, kind of like Inuyasha when he would Kagome dried potatoes, but instead of potatoes was blue substance. The blue substance was actually Kagome spiritual energy which it was now eating.
"I see it Sango," Miroku said, Sango eyes widen but then nodded.
"Give me your staff Miroku," Sango instructed, Miroku listen handing Sango the golden staff. She took it and reopen the shell that held the poison. She took the end of the staff (the bottom part) and smudge the paste unto the bottom. Once done Sango then returned the staff to the slightly confuse monk.
"The poison can only be activated with spiritual powers, the demon will absorb some of your power but it will be like poison food which will instantly kill it." Sango explain, Miroku nodded as he walk up to the demon. He held the staff above his head, transferred some spiritual power to it, and the stab the demon in the back, causing it to screech in pain. The poison 'food' was taking its effect as soon as Miroku staff touch the demon. Miroku felt as the demon body began to be poison and slowly turned into white dust. Miroku sigh as he saw all of Kagome blue spiritual powers swiftly made its way back to Kagome, to give her some more power.
"Is it gone?" Sango ask, Miroku nodded "Good, we better return to Inuyasha then." Sango said, slightly glad they were done. Miroku nodded in agreement, the day had been long and some what hot, making a nice bed feel all that more desirable.
They both returned to Inuyasha place not to long. He was still there now holding Kagome in his arms, as a way to save Kagome back from the heat of the ground. He had even moved to a nice shady tree to help protect her, obvious feeling guilty for not paying enough attention to her. But his and the near by Shippo head shoot up to see Miroku and Sango returning.
"Sango, Miroku" Shippo explain happily, Kirara giving a happy meow as well.
"Did you get the demon?" Inuyasha ask, both Miroku and Sango smiled as they nodded their heads, while Sango also returned the affectionate hug to Shippo.
"Yes we did Inuyasha, Kagome should be back tomorrow by morning." Miroku assured, Inuyasha breath out a sigh of relief before saying 'ked' and acting like he could care less.
"Hey Sango?' Shippo ask, catching the demon slayer attention.
"Yes Shippo?" She ask the young fox demon.
"Hey Sango, are we gonna set up camp now?" Shippo ask, hoping for the answer to be yes.
"I don't know Shippo?" Sango replied, not knowing what Inuyasha would want to do, he 'ked'.
"Of course we are, we can still travel a little farther, it won't kill us." Inuyasha snap, not wanting to be in the same place for long.
"Inuyasha, are you sure that's a good idea" Miroku ask, hinting to something, which he did get.
"Ya why not?" He ask, now standing with Kagome in his arms bridal style.
"Because to night is the night of the new moon" He answered, not even bothering to try and get the half demon to remember. Inuyasha blush and silently curse in realization.
"So what, we can still travel and will find some place to camp for the night" Inuyasha argued back, Sango shook her head.
"No….these woods are invested with demons, if we want to assure safety then we'll have to find some place to stay at" Sango said, Inuyasha again curse as Miroku nodded in agreement.
"Well where the hell are we going to stay at, theirs no village near if you say these woods are invested" Inuyasha snap, now getting slightly worried for the future safety of his pack.
"Actually not to far from here there is a village, they have a rather strong priestess (not as strong as Kagome) there, we could rest there for a night." Miroku said out loud, Inuyasha took in the information before he 'ked' in defeat.
"Fine, we'll go their and stay the night." He Sango smiled in relief for managing to getting the half demon to agree and stop at the next village over. So they all began to walk the few miles towards the village, Inuyasha carrying Kagome the whole way. But if she were awake when they got within one mile of the village, she would have gasp and said she felt a jewel shard…..from within that village.
