Chapter 4: The story

"What's taking them so long?" InuYasha wined.

"Be patient, InuYasha," said Miroku.

"Hpm." The half-breed pouted. They better not interacting with... "Huh?"

Kagome and Shippo were walking over from up ahead, but also Yuuka along with them.

Miroku and Sango were both shocked as well, but they didn't say anything.

"Kagome!" InuYasha exclaimed. "What are you doing bringing that evil demon back with you?!"

"She's not evil, ok," Kagome replied with a glare.

"What did I just got done saying back there..."

"InuYasha!" Shippo exclaimed as he jumped over and grabbed a hold of InuYasha's robe. "She can't be evil because of your sharp nose! You've probably been use to it so much and thought she was evil! Be respectful!" He let go and walked back over to Kagome and Yuuka.

"Hmp. Kagome..."

"Listen InuYasha!" Kagome interrupted.

InuYasha grew scared from the angry tone of Kagome's voice.

"Yuuka here, has something to say. Something important that may affect all of us."

"What, is she gonna confess?"

"Sit!"

BANG!

Miroku then stepped forward. "What is it, young women?"

Yuuka sighed. "My dad knows of demons."

Everyone gasped as InuYasha stood up. "I knew it!"

"InuYasha!" Kagome exclaimed. "Please Yuuka, continue."

Yuuka nodded. "There are three demons...well...two demons now since you already killed that one. But, there are now two demons that my father went after, because they threatened to kill me."

Sango gasped. "How come?"

"Because my father had some relationship with them. Yes, they were friends, but then they got terribly jealous of my father. I guess it was because he was better looking than them. So they hated them and said they would kill me. So he told me to stay a few days go, and he went off to kill them so they won't hurt me. But he hasn't returned. It usually only takes him a few hours."

"So what you're saying is," Miroku replied, "These demons that your father knew are coming after you. And..you're in terrible danger."

Oh Yuuka, Shippo replied. If your father is that successful and still alive he would have come back by now. But...he hasn't come back.

"Yes," Yuuka replied to Miroku. "And..."

"Yes of course," said InuYasha. "You were involved which such evil demons. That we shouldn't be near. All because of you...erahh!" He walked off.

"InuYasha!" Kagome cried as she ran after them.

"I don't mean any harm really," Yuuka told the others who still remained.

"You're really shy," said Sango with a smile.

"No. I'm not shy. I'm just sad. I miss my father. If...it was like every other day, you'd be surprised."

"Very pretty, too," said Miroku, although causing Sango to hit him on the head with her boomerang bone.

"InuYasha! Stop!" Kagome shouted

The half-breed stopped. "Don't come after me, Kagome!"

Kagome stopped. "But..InuYasha...where are you going?"

"For a walk." He turned his head back the other way.

"But...InuYasha."

"Stop! I want it to be quiet...so I can think of ways to get that demon away from you."

"Huh? But InuYasha, I'M the one who let her come! It was me, not her! She didn't even want to come!"

InuYasha turned back to her. "Then you should have let her be! When I sense something, I know when it's bad or good. And this one is bad."

"But...she's only a little girl."

"So what. Size doesn't matter."

"Why are you so serious about this! You should at least give her a chance!"

"No! I'm not gonna give a chance on letting you get hurt!"

"Huh?" InuYasha...

The half breed stepped closer to her until he was 12 inches away. "Kagome, I don't want you to be in danger. I don't want you to die. I need you. I can't...let that happen to you."

"InuYasha...."
