It's dark, windy and threatening grayish-purple clouds hover in the thunderous sky above. A little girl in white, with a floating unconscious body, hover through it it with great speed. They slowly land on the ground in front off what seems like a never ending patch of dry, barren land. A mist of gray appears in front of the two, forming a large castle. A tall, dark haired man slowly emerges from the casle and proceedes to walk their way. The girl in white notices this and the barrier disperses dropping the unconscious body to the ground with a hard thud.

"Kanna," The figure starts. "I see you've accomplished the task I assigned to you. Good work." He says half-heartedly. He uses the tip of his foot to turn the body's face slightly to get a better look at it, revealing an ebony-haired girl with a dried tear line on her face. He frowns.

"Is there something wrong?" Kanna looks towards naraku with her blank black eyes.

"It's just that I wish she was awoke so I could have a reason to kill her." Naraku kicks the body in it's chest, causing her to stir. "What's happening?"

"I don't know." Kanna turns her mirror, but the movement won't cease. How can she out-will the power of my mirror?

Naraku starts back to the castle. "Do something with her until Inuyasha gets here." He fling his hand in the air. There's something special about this girl.

Inuyasha and the gang are deep in the wood s in search of Kagome. Inuyasha runs sniffing vigorously in the air. Why can't I pick up her scent?

Sango is riding high above the trees looking for any trace of her but is unsuccessful and eventually flies down lower with the other two.

"Any luck?" Miroku asks as Sango gets in hearing distance. She shakes her head, looking at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha suddenly stops causing the others to do the same.

"What is it, Inuyasha?" Sango looks in the same direction he's looking. His noses twitches. He has a scent! But who's? It's familar, but is it Kagome's? Inuyasha rapidly uns that direction without warning. Sango and Miroku try to catch up but are no match for Inuyasha's demonic speed, so they eventually give up trying to catch up and resort to just keeping on his trail.

Up ahead, Kikyou is in a beatiful field of different assortment of grasses, flowers, and other plants. Three little girls follow behind her as she picks up certain grasses.

"What does this one do, Lady Kikyou?" One girl says holding up a piece of grass.

"That helps rid the body of germs." Kikyou smiles.

"And this one?" nother girl shows her a slightly different piece of grass.

"That eases the pain in birth." Kikyou pats her on the head.

The last girl shoves a dandelion in Kikyou's face. "What about this?"

Kikyou wraps the girl in a warm embrace. "This one is the most important. It puts a smile on people's faces." Kikyou senses a strong demonic presence nearby and sends they children away.

"Kagura, are you going to hide in the bushes all day?" Kikyou picks another piece of grass and sets it in her basket.

"Well, well, well. I guess I'm supposed to be scared because you saw me." Kagura puts her hand in her sleeve and pulls out a slip of paper. I hope this works.

"It that a sutra?" Kikyou smiles. "Am I suppose to be impressed by a silly piece of paper?"

"This 'silly piece of paper' will drive all the souls out of your body. Smile at that." Kagura shifts her finger, and one turns to three.

"If it's a real sutra, how can you hold it?" Kikyou drops her basket on the ground and stands up staring at the demon.

"This special sutra does nothing to demons. It's for getting rid of those who don't belong, the unliving, you"

"Special indeed. Throw one. Throw one if it is so special." Kikyou watches the shocked expression appear on Kagura's face and disappear suddenly. What does she have up her sleeve? She eyes Kagura suspicously.

"Very well, It's your funeral." Kagura throws her 'special' sutras and latch on to Kikyou's body. They stand there for a minute and nothing happens.

"Wow that was really-aauugh!!!" She shouts purple electrical currents floating around her. She falls to the ground on her back. One by one , the souls escape her body, then it becomes more rapid. She crosses her arms across her chest to try to keep them from leaving, but fails.

"Told you so." Kagura pulls a single feather from her head, slamming it on the ground, and jumping on it as it expands. She flies off into the sky in search of something or someone.

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha?" Sango cries out into the forest; They lost his trail.

"Where could he have gone off to?" Miroku scratches the back off his head.

"I hope he found Kagome. It was bad enough she left, but now she's in danger." Sango has concern written all over her face. Miroku walks over and embraces her.

"It's okay. He'll find her." Some how his hand makes it's way down to her rear and begins to gently stroke it. "Oh, Sango." He purrs.

Sango silently pushes him away from her.

"You perverted lecher!!!" She punches him in the head a good two times.

"What?" He asks with a sheepish grin.

Up ahead, Inuyasha comes to a field of different grasses and flowers. He sniffs te air. Kikyou has been here. He sees a piece of paper on the ground. It's browned and singed, but he still makes it out to be a sutra. He is relunctant to pick it up, but senses no spiritual presence and does so anyway. He sniffs it. Kagura. What was she doing here. And..And Kikyou. She was here, but where is she now?

Inuyasha sniffs the air once more and picks up Kikyou's scent. He heads that direction and goes deeper into a nearby forest but stops short when he picks up a familar scent. Is that Kagome? He walks at first, but gradually picks up his speed. I'm coming, Kagome. As he gets deeper, and deeper in the forest, he notices the change in the land. Less and less grass is growing, and fewer trees can be seen. Before he knows it, he finds himself in a barren waste land. The scent he picked is at it's strongest.

"Kagome? Where are you? Answer me?!?" He shouts into the abyss. He looks in the distance and sees a castle shape. Is that who I think it is? He senses an unfamilar demonic aura. Out of nowhere, abolt of lightining strikes at him, but he just barely escapes. Dust flies everywhere.

"Who are you? Show yourselves!" He draw out his demon sword, Tetsusaiga.

"Now, now, Inuyasha." The voice is so familar and he doesn't reveal his face. "Let's not be too hasty. You wouldn't want to kill Kagome, now would you?"

"Where is she, you sick bastard?"

"Right here." Out from the dust, appears a giant spider demon. More than five times Inuyasha's height. Hanging from it's bottom side, wrapped full body in spider silk, are two figures. One appears lifeless and the other kicking and screaming out Inuyasha's name.

"Kagome..." He whispers.

Dun, dun, duuun! Okay sorry to cut it off so abruptly, but I was on a roll, and didn't want to put too much in one chapter.
