Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. My computer crashed and I had to wait until it was fixed. Anyways, here's the next chapter. I hope you like it.

Disclaimer- I don't own any of the Inuyasha characters.

Me- Except Kartron

Chapter Four- Heading into battle

While walking down the path a young boy ran out in front of them. "Please wait. Would all of you please come to see my father Ukaran?" he asked. Kagome kneeled down in front of him.

"Sure we would love to." She said happily.

"Okay, follow me." Said the little boy walking off in the direction he came from. The group slowly followed after him.

'She's so kind, smart, and the prettiest girl I've ever seen in my life.' Inuyasha thought to himself. Since he was so caught up in his thoughts he didn't see the rock in front of him and he tripped over it, falling face first on the ground. Kagome stopped and helped him up.

"Are you okay Inuyasha?" she asked.

"Uhh, ya I'm fine I just tripped." He replied blushing like crazy. Sesshomaru noticed this.

'Hmm, so he likes the priestess just like I thought he did.' He thought while walking over to him. "She's really something isn't she Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru asked, making Inuyasha blush more than he already was.

"What are you talking about?" he asked while looking away.

"Inuyasha it is obvious you love Kagome, so why don't you tell her?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

"Shut up! I'll tell her when I'm ready. Besides it's none of your business." He said walking ahead. Kagome and Rin were walking side by side and Rin just had to ask her question.

"Umm, Lady Kagome?" Rin squeezed out.

"Yes Rin?" she replied.

"Do you love uncle Inuyasha?" she asked innocently. Kagome was blushing like crazy until she realized Rin said 'uncle Inuyasha.' Everyone turned to Sesshomaru.

"Uncle Inuyasha?" they asked in unison.

"Umm, well I adopted her." Sesshomaru replied to all the stares he was getting. Just then the group walked through two huge gates into a beautiful garden. Then the boy led them into a large throne room, where a man and woman sat.

"Welcome friends. I am Lord Ukaran, and this is my wife Arugak, and my youngest son Tnafni." Ukaran stated.

"Hi I'm Kagome, the woman with the giant boomerang is Sango, the man next to her is Miroku, the girl with two tails and cat ears is Kilala, this boy on my shoulder is Shippo, the little girl is Rin, and the man with the crescent moon on his forehead is Sesshomaru." Kagome introduced.

"Hey, Kagome!!" Inuyasha said a little frustrated.

"Oh and that's Inuyasha." She said with no emotion in her voice.

"Nice to make your acquaintance. We were wondering if you would do a favour for us." Ukaran started.

"Sure what is it?" Sango questioned.

"Well you see our kingdom has been under attack by strange creatures for two years now. So we were wondering if you would help us destroy them." Ukaran asked. The eight of them grouped in a circle to discuss what to do.

"We should help them guys." Shippo stated.

"I agree." Kilala replied.

"And I say we don't help and just leave." Inuyasha said crossing his arms over his chest.

"Ya, I don't trust these people one bit." Sesshomaru said.

"All in favour of helping say 'I'." Kagome said. With that Sango, Shippo, Kilala, Kagome, Miroku, and Rin said in unison, "I." Then Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had angry expressions on their faces. Kagome turned around.

"We would all love to help you guys out." She said with a warm smile on her face.

"Great, now my daughter Anak will show you to the rooms you will be resting in." Ukaran said. Then a young girl, no older than ten showed them to their temporary bedrooms.

That night in the back of the castle

Everyone stood outside packing the remainder of their things to fight the creatures. "Please wait!" they heard Ukaran yell. The group turned to see him approaching them.

"Please bring my daughter and two best warriors." He said revealing two young men and a woman.

"Hi I'm Uoykik, and this is Uramoruj and his older brother Uramoregak." Uoykik said. Then the eleven set out to find the creatures.

"Umm, Uramoruj why do you and your brother want to kill these creatures so bad?" Kagome questioned with Shippo on her shoulder.

"Well, we lost our parents to them." Uramoruj replied with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Oh, I'm so sorr..." Kagome couldn't finish her sentence before Uramoregak cut her off.

"Shut up." He yelled quietly. That ticked Inuyasha off.

"Don't talk to Kagome like that!" he snapped. 'No one talks to my Kagome like that.' Inuyasha thought to himself.

"Well, we are nearing the last sighting grounds and if you want her to get eaten then by all means keep on talking." Uramoregak said.

"Yes, the creatures find their prey using sound." Uoykik explained to them. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Make sure we stay together because the creatures attack in a group." She continued. When Shippo heard that part he got off Kagome and onto Miroku's shoulder. Kagome turned to whisper to Uramoruj, when she noticed that he wasn't there anymore.

"Uramoruj?" Kagome quietly called out. No one noticed her stop.

"There are six of these creatures so stay alert." Uoykik explained.

Kagome slowly walked back the direction they had come from to see Uramoruj on the ground.

"Uramoruj, are you ok?" Kagome asked kneeling down next to him.

"Lady Kagome? What are you doing here?" He questioned.

"I came to get you." She replied with a warm smile.

"My ankle is stuck." He replied trying to move it from under the rock. Then all of the sudden there was a loud, vicious howl. "Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

"W...w...what the heck... heck was that?" Kagome asked with fear behind her voice.

"That was the creatures." Uramoruj replied.

Uhh. Such a cliffy. I'll update A.S.A.P. Please review I would like to get some feedback.
