Chapter 4: Sin Catastrophe

Sesshoumaru's huge dog form ran through the forest chasing Jaken and Rin and knocking down trees as he went.

"My lord, why are you doing this?" Jaken screamed as he ran for his life, occasionally glancing behind him. The pair of prey was beginning to tire.

"Please don't hurt us lord Sesshoumaru," Rin cried, trying to keep up with Jaken.

At Rin's cries, Sesshoumaru stopped in his tracks, sinking his claws in the ground below. He panted harder as he tried standing his ground. Thoughts began to swirl the demon's head.

He heard his father's voice, 'Do you have someone to protect?' which made Sesshoumaru grow angrier although he kept his claws firmly intact with the soil, his teeth bared.

"No," he said out loud as another thought crossed his mind, his father's voice again, 'I'm going to give the great sword, Tetsusaiga to your brother, you can't handle it,' Sesshoumaru's teeth bared more furiously as his anger rose, "NO!" he yelled, but instead of going after his two followers he began ripping down trees in a violent rage.

Jaken and Rin hid behind a tree away from the rabid looking dog. 'What has gotten into him, he has never acted like this,' Jaken thought as his eyes filled with tears, part fear part sympathy. Then an idea struck him, 'Kagura,' Jaken frowned at the thought, 'she must have done something to him.'

Sesshoumaru couldn't stop the thoughts in his head which made him angrier, thoughts of Inuyasha, his father, that mortal that loved his father, Naraku, Kagura, that boy that almost killed Rin, those mortals traveling with his half brother, the people who he despised or generally loathed.

Sesshoumaru's rampaging continued as he tried destroying everything in his path. Jaken and Rin didn't want to leave him in the state he was in, but they had to get away, so they took off as fast as they could, unnoticed by the angry demon.

------------------------------

Far away in Koga's den, the young pack leader started going around the cave collecting…rocks. "More I got to have more," he mumbled as he grabbed stones from left and right. The other wolves were for a loss at words as they watched their leader make a fool out of himself.

Koga finally stopped in a sitting position and counted his rocks frantically. He frowned then threw the rocks to the ground, angry. He crossed his arms and made a pouting face, his leg began to twitch nervously, "I must have more, more of something," he kept saying.

"B..boss, are..you ok" Hakkaku stuttered uncertainly.

Koga continued searching around, 'What is it I desire,' then a thought quickly hit him, 'Kagome,' he smiled thinking of her, 'I must have her.'

Koga stood up and all curious eyes were on him, "I must have her, she will be mine," he shouted before turning into a cyclone and departing.

"You think he meant Kagome," Ginta asked Hakkaku.

"Of course, who else would he be talking about," Hakkaku answered obviously.

They stared off where he had left, "Something is odd about him, shouldn't we go after him," Ginta asked slightly worried.

"Are you kidding, we wouldn't be able to catch up with him," Hakkaku said and both of them sighed, defeated.

----------------------------

A very envious Kikyo walked along the grass and dirt, menacingly. Her eyes were forwarded in a frown as she thought how much she wanted what Kagome had, Inuyasha.

'It's not fair, that should be me, I should have Inuyasha, not her,' Kikyo kept thinking as she walked further to her destination.

"I'll take care of Kagome and then I'll have my Inuyasha," she said with glaring eyes.

As she walked on past villages that may or may not have needed her services, she just looked over at the people with envy, 'I wish I could be like them, alive and to have a purpose,' she thought.

She didn't care to help any of the wounded villagers, she had one goal at the moment and she was heading towards the village Inuyasha and the others were at that very moment.

---------------------------

Shippo didn't know what he should do; it was obvious something had happened when Kagura hit them with those pebbles, but what could he do?

Kirara meowed nervously at the situation they were in.

Without moving his head, Shippo scanned the inn room at his fellow comrades, very uneasy.

Inuyasha still hadn't woke from his nap, although he kept tossing and turning lazily in his sleep, mumbling.

Kagome watched her reflection in her mirror as she made poses and thinking how brilliant and beautiful she was.

Miroku gazed back and forth between Kagome and Sango, drooling, he seemed to be undressing them with his eyes.

Sango had put yet something else in her mouth, furiously chewing as she grabbed something else.

Shippo sighed, it seemed to be getting worse and he couldn't understand what he should do, then a thought occurred to him. The young fox demon jumped up and ran to Kagome's bag, pulling out her history book; she had read him something so familiar to what was going on.

He flipped frantically through it pass ancient times and their people. He finally stopped on the page he was desperately looking for, the seven deadly sins. His eyes grew, this was it, and they were infected with the seven deadly sins.

Shippo smiled triumphantly, he finally had something to go on, then he slammed the book shut in his small hands with a grim look, "Deadly," he said nervously.

He watched as his friends were taken in by the sins, he had to do something fast, but what?

Then Shippo froze, he heard something outside and people screaming. "Uh oh," he said and looked outside and saw a huge disgusting looking demon heading into the village. Shippo then looked over at his friends and his heart sunk, 'Would they fight like this?'

Kirara meowed as she took hold of Sango's skirt and pulled at it, wanting her to stop eating and fight off the demon.

The group seemed to realize there was something wrong going on and seemed to snap out of their sin absorbed state. Shippo smiled, that's the friends he knew and loved.

"A demon," Inuyasha yawned, but instead of grabbing his sword out and running to slay it, he fell back onto the floor, sound asleep.

Shippo sighed, "Don't worry guys, I can take care of this demon all by myself," Kagome announced, grabbing her quiver and bow before running outside.

Shippo was a little glad, but mostly worried that she went on her own, but then, "Kagome, wait," came Sango's voice as she grabbed a rice ball and ran after Kagome.

Miroku, not even worrying about his staff and, not to Shippo's surprise, kept drooling and followed the girls outside like the horny monk he was.

Shippo noticed that Kagome was the only one who carried her weapon with her, her prideful state hoping to get all the glory. The fox demon ran outside with his friends glancing back at Inuyasha sleeping, 'We sure could use you right now,' he sighed as he arrived outside with Kirara following right after.

Kirara transformed into her large cat form.

Kagome was in a battle stance with her bow aimed at the demon, "Is everybody watching me, watch me kick this demon's butt," she yelled.

"Come on Kagome, you got to let us help, stop being so prideful," Sango said as she ate her rice ball, looking as if she didn't have a care for anything else.

Kagome stopped and frowned, 'How dare she think I can't handle it, I'm the great Kagome and I radiant with skill,' she thought stomping over to Sango.

'What is she doing,' Shippo thought worried as the demon came closer.

Sango frowned confused at her as she was about to take another bite. Before she could reach the food to her mouth, Kagome yanked the rice ball out of Sango's hand and threw it on the ground then smiled satisfied.

Sango's jaw dropped like it was the worst thing Kagome could do to her. She looked down at her morsel and began to cry, she was still hungry.

Kagome smiled as she went back to her current spot to shoot the demon. Miroku grinned as he came closer and closer to Sango's butt.

Sango looked at her rice ball on the floor then got an idea, why should she care if it was on the ground. As Miroku reached out to stroke her, Sango grabbed at her food sitting down on the ground munching away. Her action caused Miroku to fall over flat out beside her on the ground.

Shippo formed a disgusting look as he watched Sango eat food off the dirt.

"Are you guys watching this," Kagome asked as she looked behind her to see if they really were.

The demon had finally reached Kagome and was about to stomp on her. Kirara raced in and saved Kagome just in time.

Shippo smiled, "Go Kirara," he said, but the demon was still coming closer towards them.

Shippo shook with fear, "I have to do something, but I can't handle this demon on my own," he said.

Kirara let Kagome down and growled up at the demon, ready to fight. Just when all seemed lost something from behind attacked the demon. It was Koga.

"She's mine," he said as he fought the demon with his wolf skills. The demon growled and became angrier, but it was not match for Koga.

Koga delivered one last blow and the demon fell to the ground dead.

"Hey," Kagome shouted, "I could have handled that demon," she told him as she crossed her arms.

"Yeah right," Sango said as she somehow gained more food and ate at it.

Kagome glared at her then felt something touch her leg. She looked down worried to see Miroku touching her. "Hey, hands off of her, she's mine and only mine," Koga yelled as he pushed Miroku off of her. Soon a huge argument broke out between the four of them.

Shippo sighed and shook his head, "How am I going to be strong for this?" he asked desperately.

Kirara transformed back and watched the scene with a fearful meow.
