Chapter 4: I Love You Too

"Come on Inuyasha faster!" yelled the impatient teenage girl.

"There!" Inuyasha exclaimed as they were approaching the village. They saw villagers trying to fend off the demons with wooden spears and old swords. Of course, they were no match for them and some of the demons started to eat on the villagers.

Children in one of the houses yelled, "Mommy! Daddy!"

"Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" attacked Inuyasha.

The demons were sliced in pieces but not after they already killed the parents.

"Oh no," Kagome said as she was looking at the dead villagers as their children stood there traumatized.

"Kagome watch out!" Inuyasha yelled as 10 demons went straight for her.

Inuyasha used his Tessaiga at the demons, killing them. "Pay Attention!"

"Right, sorry." Kagome apologized.

"We should try to find Kaede," said Inuyasha

"Right," Kagome said sadly. "Come on everyone this way," she said to the remaining villagers. "Follow us!"

They were killing demons as they looked for Kaede. Kaede was putting up a barrier shielding some of the villagers, who were in trouble. Demons were attacking the barrier making it hard for Kaede to keep it up. Then she couldn't it hold it anymore, and the barrier collapsed. Kaede, being attack by a demon, was gnawing on her arm.

"Horoekos!" exclaimed Sango.

"Sango thank you," Kaede said in pain.

"Kaede are you alright," knelt Sango looking at her wounds.

"Yes I'll be alright."

Sango bounded Kaede's wound, while Inuyasha and Kagome came on the scene, killing the demons before they could eat the villagers, whom Kaede was protecting. Other villagers followed Inuyasha and Kagome. Some were crying because they lost their families.

"Curse that Naraku," said Inuyasha being upset.

Explosive sound then occurred from the distance toward Naraku and Shesshomaru.

"It sounds like it is coming from the battle between Shesshomaru and Naraku," said Kagome. "Shesshomaru?" Kaede asked puzzled holding her arm.

"Yes, Shesshomaru challenged Naraku he seemed much stronger than before," explained Kagome.

"If we're lucky they both will just kill each other off," Inuyasha said coldly.

"Oh Inuyasha," Kagome responded.

As they spoke, Miroku and Shippo with Kilila showed up.

"Miroku!" yelled Sango in concern approaching Miroku.

"Is the villagers okay?" panted Miroku.

"Some didn't make it," Sango said sadly helping Miroku off of Shippo.

Miroku was still holding Kilila, who was still unconscious from Naraku's attack.

"Heads up more demons...Windscar!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Oooo Ahhh" villagers said in awe as a hundred demons were killed.

"More of them," Sango threw her weapon at the demons. Kagome shot arrows at the them. Miroku used his sutras but then collapses. Miroku looking in despair said, "Kagome hurry here."

Kagome shooting her arrows toward the many of demons, found her way to Miroku, "What is it Miroku, are you alright?"

"Do you know how to conjure a barrier," said Miroku exhausted.

"A barrier? No I never learned," Kagome looked confused.

Kaede who was using her sutras said, "Yes a barrier should be used for the weak and wounded." Kaede looked on the villagers who were cowering, crying, and dying. "But I can't right now; Kagome to conjure a barrier just focus on the feeling of wanting to protect and say the words Ke Ha Sho in your mind, allow the power to fill you and expel from you in all directions, but try to stay in control."

"I'll try but," Kagome said unsure.

Demons came from behind taking one of the villagers. "Father!" cried a child.

"NO!" Sango yelled.

Out of the blew, Kilila killed the demon, saving the villager. "FATHER!" the child ran hugging her father.

"Kilila!" Sango hugs Kilila. "Blast! THEY JUST TOO MANY"

"Not for long," Inuyasha impatiently said.

Inuyasha went on rampage killing many demons using the windscar and the adamant barrage about 20 times. Inuyasha killed most of the demons surrounding the heros and villagers. But he was starting to become exhausted and even his sword had a chip in it.

"You did it Inuyasha!" Kagome said excitedly.

"Of course I did!" Inuyasha said, but then looked at his damaged sword.

"We lost many but we still were able to save many as well," Sango stated optimistically.

"What...is going on...?" Kaede was looking behind Sango, Kagome, and Inuyasha.

The group looked behind them to see what she was looking at.

She was looking at a strong visible whirl wind surrounding Miroku's body.

"The curse...it is almost time," warned Miroku.

"What...what are talking about...?" Sango didn't want to believe what she was seeing.

"I think when I absorbed Inuyasha's new technique, it teared the hole in my hand to the limit," Miroku spoke sluggish as if he is using all his strength to stop the curse from becoming.

"What?" Inuyasha whispered in some form of guilt.

"Please everyone try to move away from me as far as you can!" Miroku yelled making the villagers panic but none moving.

"Miroku! What is going on" Sango still in disbelief.

"I'm sorry Sango, but I need to borrow Kilila for the sake of you all," Miroku motioned Kilila. "Kilia! I need you to take me back to Naraku, if I can I will suck him up as well."

"NO THIS CAN'T BE I CAN'T LOSE YOU TOO," yelled Sango in tears.

"I'm sorry Sango I'm truly am," Miroku got on Kilila but then a strange light began to happen and stronger winds began. Miroku fell off Kilila.

"Miroku!" Sango ran toward him.

"No not now not like thiss," Miroku said in defeat.

Sango ran to Miroku and hugged him. "Sango get away!" commanded Miroku.

"I won't leave you," said Sango with tears streaming down her face.

"Sango! Miroku!" yelled Kagome.

"Kilila leave here now", said Sango solemnly

Kilila turned back to her base form and snuggled between Sango and Miroku.

"Sango! Miroku!" yelled Kagome, Inuyasha held her back.

"NOOO!" yelled Inuyasha, as the winds became more fierce and the villagers panicked and were trying to hold onto anything.

"Get away Inuyasha, all of you, Sango..." Miroku said solemnly.

"I will not. I love you," Sango confessed.

"I love you too." Miroku confessed.

Then the glow got larger and larger, everybody was yelling. Kagome yelled "Inuyasha!" and he hugged her. Then Kagome looked possessed and then a great explosion.

In the distance, Shesshomaru and Naraku is looking at the bright light that came from the village.

"WHAT HAPPENED!" yelled Jaken confused.

"The monk's curse..." Shesshomaru said wisely.

"Sister?" spoke Kohaku.

Naruku smiled demonically, "Couldn't had planned it better myself."
