"Are you sure you wanted to do that, Kanna?" Kagura stared back at her sister as they flew further into the sky on one of Kagura's feathers. "You and Hakudoushi seemed to be having quite a ball together with Inuyasha and his group." Kanna suppresed a small look of shame, knowing her sister did not approve of her choice in allies.
"..." Kagura did not expect a reply as Kanna turned away and bit her lip, planning to avert attention away from herself by gazing into her mirror, which she soon realized she had dropped. But then, Kanna muttered confidently yet quietly, "I am sure."
Kanna had not anticipated her sister being there. She had merely imagined to keep running. At first, she was thankful for a means of escape, but then she began to think she they had to run into eachother just then. "By the way, Kagura, what were you doing? Weren't you with Lord Sesshomaru?" Kagura had never knew her sister to be so informal and blatant to her. Or curious.
"...Yeah. But now that ALL of us ran away, we have Naraku to fear . He's probably made another incarnation, and he still has our hearts under his control. The only thing I'm wondering is why it is taking him so long to stop us."

"Where are those two?" huffed Kagome. She stood bored, staring out in the distance as if looking harder could make them appear.
" -pft- Those brats will catch up to us on their own time. Let's get going!" The demi-demon didn't hesitate to begin walking toward a nearby village.
"So they say they spotted a man with a spider mark on his back?" Shippo looked curiously up at Myoga, a flea who had just rested on his cheek and began to suck blood.
After a small slap, on his descent to the ground, Myoga muttered, "That's right. Just in that village down there."
"Well, we should get going if we want to investigate." Miroku stepped forward.
Kagome looked away from Inuyasha angrily, got onto her bike, and began peddling fast down the trail. Inuyasha ran after her, shouting, "Hey!"
"Is Kagome mad at Inuyasha? Why isn't she riding on his back?"
"Indeed. I wouldn't know, but Lady Kagome and Inuyasha always fight. It's hardly something to worry about."
When they heard a shout of "OSUWARI!" that was deafiningly loud even though Sango and Miroku were far behind the angry couple, and they saw a familiar dog-eared boy fall off the mountain, Miroku began to think he spoke too soon.

Kohaku pulled back his chain scythe with accuracy as the 10th demon fell before him with a thud, its dark purple blood splurshin onto its murderer. The boy leaned over to pick up a thin, lavender slice, gleaming in the dark aura of the cavern he was in. A shard of the Shikon no Tama. As soon as he straightened himself, a few strange bees that had been looming overhead swooped down and grabbed the shard as they began to fall out. Kohaku felt empty. There was nothing inside him. He had the occasional individual thought, but other than that, all he heard was Naraku ordering him in his mind.
Kohaku made a move to turn around and leave when an excited, kiddish voice called out, "Lord Sesshomaru! This cave looks like a nice place for Ah and Un to rest!" (Is that the names of the two-headed dragon?)
'No...no, not here.' A flash of a smiling young girl in an orange and white patched kimono appeared in his mind. It was Sesshomaru, Jaken, and ...Rin.

"It- it wasn't Naraku!" Inuyasha mumbled madly with laboured breathing. "But it was stronger than Kagura or any of his other incarnations!" Feebly, he held back another outburst and tried to keep calm.
"I wonder what he's up to..." Sango held her side in pain, blood seeping out and staining her black slayer suit.
Shippo trembled with tears welling in the corners of his eyes. "Y-y-you're all...INJURED! And I couldn't do anything!"
"It's not your fault, Shippo. Your fox fire left us a great deal of recovery time while the enemy was confused!" Kagome quickly reassured the small fox demon.
A small insect bounded onto Inuyasha's cheek. "I think the wise course of action would be to return to Elder Kaede's village and try recuperating before we fight again." Inuyasha's fist slammed into his cheek as he barely missed creaming the bug and ended up hurting himself.
"Myyyogaaa, YOU COWA-!" -THUD- With a small order of sit, Inuyasha was succumbed to the ground. He turned to the girl responsible for his embarrasing plight, who turned away angrily.
"Anyway," he began again, glaring in Kagome's direction as he got up, "we always go back to the village! If we don't chase after Naraku when we see him, he always gets AWAY!"
A loud crash came as something came barreling throught the trees near the village. An abnormally large pitbull raced toward the six. Shoumaru, the recent incarnation of Naraku, was atop it, and he was with Naraku.

Woah, suddenly the mood's all serious. I'll brush up on comedy again next chapter. And sorry, once again, that it's short! But after all, all my chapters are shy of adequate length.
And no sign of Hakudoushi yet! Is Naraku back in action? And why is Kagome flaming mad at Inuyasha?!
