Chapter Four

The sky was gradually becoming lighter as the dawn was approaching fast and enveloping the vibrant landscape. Ren increased his speed as he ran through the overgrown forest, hopping from tree to tree. Hanyuu would awaken soon and he needed to get her to Arina before that happened, if she awoke to early, she would resist and create noise, drawing attention to him. Suddenly, he felt movement in his arms so he looked down at the infant who unlucky was stirring! Both ears were twitching in a sleepy manor and her eyelids were gracefully lifting.

"Crap!" he cursed loudly, running at a faster speed than any car, he was going so fast that he wouldn't be able to see the scenery around him!

Hanyuu's eyes were now open and she looked around for her mother and father only to gasp in alarm. She was being carried by a strange man she had never seen before who didn't smell to friendly! Shifting her attention from the stranger carrying her, she sniffed her surroundings, desperately hoping for a familiar scent but much to her horror she was in an area completely unknown to her. She began to panic.

Ren had noticed that she was fully conscious so he decided to try and win her trust by lying. "Hey there little lady, you're finally awake!" he said gently in the friendliest voice he could put on, "Your whole village was on fire so your mama and papa told me to take you far away until it was safe!"

Hanyuu was confused, she didn't remember her home being on fire and she didn't remember smelling any smoke. She looked up at him, unconvinced and let out a low small from the back of her throat.

"What's wrong? I know you probably miss your parents but you'll see them in a little while, don't worry." he chirped, giving her a false, toothy smile.

After a few seconds Hanyuu realized that this man was partly right, she did miss her parents, in fact she missed them terribly! Newborn pups weren't supposed to leave their parents this early and her instincts were slowly beginning to kick in, as she let off another bloodcurdling snarl.

Ren heard the chilling noise and looked down in surprise. She was glaring up at him, her eyes narrow and piercing with her small fangs exposed. He gulped. "You shouldn't look at people like that, honey. It's kinda rude." he stuttered, trying to hide that fact that he was a little uncomfortable with the way she was looking at him.

All of a sudden, he felt a sharp pain in his arm as he cried out in slight pain and surprise. He looked down to see what had happened only to find Hanyuu with her fangs sunk into his muscled arm. "Hey!" he cried trying to remove the thing that was attached to him, "Let go you brat!" however Hanyuu only tightened her hold on him and growled against his skin. Ren was shocked, for such a young pup she was becoming quite a hassle!

Alas, the little girl's fangs became too much for him as he threw her into the air sending her flying. Hanyuu froze. She hadn't expected him to do something like that and it had rather alarmed her! Now there she was, plummeting back down towards the sharp looking brambles of the forest, whining and shrieking as loudly as she could!

"Did you hear that, Inuyasha?!" cried Kagome, "That could be Hanyuu! Go faster!"

"I'm on it!" he replied picking up the pace in the direction of the scream. If that was his pup in distress, Inuyasha was going to make sure this creep never messed with his family again!

He jumped higher, way above the trees for a better view and then he saw her. His daughter falling fast, heading straight for the brambles.

"HANYUU!" shrieked Kagome at the top of her lungs, slightly deafening her husband in his left ear.

Ignoring Kagome's ridiculously loud shriek, Inuyasha jumped faster, if he didn't get there in time well that would be the end of his little girl!

All of a sudden, a man leapt out of the brambles as if he was trying to catch Hanyuu, he was wearing a monkey skin. Inuyasha growled and cracked his knuckles. "It's him Kagome! I knew I smelt monkey!" Inuyasha yelled but Kagome was to focused on her daughter who was still falling from the sky.

"She's falling too fast! Even that chimp guy won't make it to her in time!" she cried in dismay. Inuyasha cursed under his breath and sped up, even if it was useless he would at least TRY to save his little girl.

Hanyuu was now a few feet away from certain death before a giant, pink balloon appeared beneath her, successfully catching her! Inuyasha and Kagome gasped in relief and amazement and Ren hovered in mid air, not entirely sure what to do. This flying ball had burst onto the scene and ever so rudely stolen his hostage! He needed to have a word with this big guy!

The pink ball spoke to Hanyuu, "Hey you okay? Good thing I came along when I did, huh?"

"SHIPPO!" cried Kagome in sheer happiness as Inuyasha sighed in relief, if it weren't for the squirt then who knows what would have happened to his little Hanyuu.

Shippo floated over to his friends with their daughter safely sat on his back, "Hey guys! I saved your kid for you!"

"You make her sound like leftovers at a meal." said Inuyasha frowned, even though he was secretly really glad to see the little fox. Hanyuu hopped off of Shippo's back and landed safely in her father's arms, she thanked Shippo with a big smile.

Ren was mad. Not just mad, more like absolutely FUMING. There was even steam coming out of his ears that hissed as it rose into the air. There was no way in he'll that he was ever going to just give up on that little girl simply because of some stupid girl's floatie butting in. His eyes turned an eerie shade of Gold as his teeth became sharper and longer - he was now emitting a huge demonic energy.

Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo all sensed this as they turned to face the mysterious man that had stolen Hanyuu. Ren's entire body was turning a metallic shade of green and scales were forming from his skin, huge wings extended from his back as did claws from his hands and feet.

Shippo trembled, "I-Inuyasha? What's that weird guy doing?"

"I'm not all too sure, to be honest." admitted Inuyasha whilst Hanyuu was imitating his transformation by flapping her arms around and shrieking, she looked a little more like a brainless chicken.

Ren was no longer a man. He had become a humongous Dragon in the space of a few seconds flat. His eyes were those of a killer and flames were escaping his nostrils, he would take back that pup by any means necessary.

Inuyasha stood in front of Kagome who was now cradling Hanyuu and spoke to Shippo, "Keh, we can totally take this guy." Shippo gulped and nodded. It didn't matter what this creep's intentions were, all that mattered was that he had messed with his family... and he would pay for that mistake.

Da da da! Oh no! Ren's a Dragon! They're doomed; maybe not they've fought worse haha. Don't forget to leave a review and thanks for reading; I hope you're enjoying the story so far! I'll upload the next chapter some time tomorrow bye :D ~Happy
