The girl's boomerang sliced through the air menacingly. She was ruthless and kept spouting lies.

"You murdered my kin! All of you!" She shrieked as her boomerang came back.

"We didn't do such a thing! We buried the dead!" Sheumaru yelled back, drawing her sword.

"Sheumaru, get back! You're human!" InuYasha snapped.

"InuYasha! There's a jewel shard in her back." Kagome's voice cut through their bickering like a knife.

"Sheumaru, if this were any other human I could care less but for this fight you need to back off!" Growled InuYasha.

Sheumaru was about to retort but she looked up at her sword, it had kept fazing between what it was supposed to look like and the broken and brittle sword that lay dormant in its scabbard.

"I-Fine!" She huffed, placing her sword back in its sheath she stumbled to where all the others were.

She sat down cross-legged, her hands together, "are you going to help me monk or are you just going to stand there?"

"Uh-oh right." He sat down next to her, in the same position. With this they had created a protective barrier around them.

"I had no idea you could do this." Miroku said thoughtfully.

"Only when I'm human, my sword provides me a little of its power enough to get away safely. But learning other techniques helps as well." She said, her voice steady but on the inside she was crying for InuYasha to be safe. Something was strange with this girl. Like she wasn't in her right mind.

"I see," he sighed.

"Kagome, fire an arrow to get the jewel free from her back." Sheumaru said, seeing an opening.

"But I could kill her," Kagome whined.

"You won't kill her. Look at all those other injuries. If anything those will kill her first. I beileve she's being controlled by the jewel." Sheumaru pointed at the wounds on the girl's arms where she was grazed by the Tetsusiga.

"I think you've got a point." Miroku agreed.

"Okay, then, if you say so," Kagome said, unsteadily.

InuYasha had turned his back to them, he was in the way of Kagome's shot.

"InuYasha, turn her back this way!" Kagome yelled.

InuYasha did as he was told, moving out of the way and placing the girl in his previous spot. Kagome shot the arrow and the jewel was dislodged from the girl's back and fell to the floor.

She ran forward and picked up the shard, it connected to the rest of the jewel. The girl fell to the ground, almost lifeless.

"Was the only thing keeping her alive the jewel?" Asked Miroku.

"She's moving!" InuYasha yelled.

"I'll get the herbs to heal her." Sheumaru said getting up.

"No, you stay with her, me and Kogome will go." InuYasha spoke while picking up the girl.

"But I know all the herbs at least let me help." She looked down, upset.

"InuYasha's right, it's just safer if you stay, and that way if she comes to before they come back we can explain things." Miroku put a hand on her arm.

"You're coming with us." InuYasha said instantly.

"What changed your mind?" Sheumaru asked curiously.

"Him." InuYasha growled, glaring at Miroku.
