( AN: This chapter is for you guys. I found that I had not done the spell checker on the last chapter, so here is it is...)

The sun glowed as it made it's way over the horizan..
Inuyasha cracked his eyes open, alert to the sounds and smells around him. He heard movement as he looked over to find his friends packing up," Hey Inuyasha!" came a cheerful voice and a soft bounce on his shoulder. Suddenly..," AAAAHHH!", Inuyasha lashed out his arm, grabbing Shippo by the tail," Whadda want, runt.." he growled, glaring down at the small kitsune.
Shippo glared up a Inuyasha, shaking his paws in his face," I just came to see if you were okay!" he yelled," You didn't have to grab me like-" with a small jerk of his wrist, Inuyasha threw Shippo aside as his laid back against the tree.
" AAAAHHHHHH!"
Sango looked over in time to see Inuyasha toss Shippo," Shippo!" she yelled, running to catch him. When he fell into her arms, Sango set him down," Inuyasha! He was just worried, you were sleeping in a little late!" she called to the demon. Inuyasha ' Keh'd ' and continued to lay against the tree. Sango sighed, glaring at Inuyasha then walking back over to Miroku to help with the packing.
' I didn't sleep that late..' he thought,' I was just a little tired..'
" Come on.." the gang had finished packing, as Sango grabbed Kiyoshi. The village was a few miles away, not to far as they walked along the dirt road." Hey Inuyasha," Shippo whispered as he once again bounce on Inuyasha's shoulder," Is it me or does something feel kinda weird?" he asked. Inuyasha looked down, his arms crossed," Yeah," he replied," There's something different about the village.. It seems..,empty, like somethings missing.."
Shippo stared off," Not only that but it doesn't feel tense, like the last time we were here.." Inuyasha nodded,' There's something wrong.. I have to find out what it is..' Suddenly, Inuyasha sprinted toward the village," I'll be back" he called, a crying Shippo hanging on his shoulder.
" Inuyasha, what are you doing!" Shippo cried, trying to grab more cloth. Inuyasha casted his eyes to the Kitsune," I'm going to find out what's going on.." was all he said as he sped up.
After about 10 minutes of fast running, they came to the east border of the village,' What's this fe-' the smell of blood ran past his nose as he jerked his up. Shippo gasped, crawling onto Inuyasha's shoulder," What's with you lat-" he stopped, the same foul stentch coming across his nose." We should probably see Keade.." Shippo said, covering up his nose to keep from smelling.
Inuyasha stared into the village, seeing the people scarry about, then finally walking in..

Else Where
-----
Kagome sat there, in mud as she looked upon her hands. But to her they weren't her hands, though, the hands of a demon.' I have claws!' she though surprised.' That's not the only thing..' whispered the voice. Kagome sighed, her temper flaring,' Okay!' she balled up her hands, careful of her knewly found claws,' Who and What are you!'
' Stupid half-breed... I'm your conscience,'
' Conscience?' Kagome heard a sigh in her head as the voice continued,' Your other half..'
' What about that other one?'
" Inuyasha?" she said out loud,' Yes.., that one. He is a half-breed also.. So he has a second conscience..' Kagome blinked, before everything started to make since to her,
" WHAT! I'm A-A-"

Inuyasha
-----
Stepping before the priestess's hut, Inuyasha sniffed. The sent of death lingered around the hut and also,' Is that the smell of miko energy? But it's radiating off of the place, is that even possible?' he questioned stepping into the old woman's hut.
There sat a young girl, setting up Kaede's bed sheets. She looked up, her eye's filled with sorrow as the two demons looked around. Coming upon the eyes of the woman, Inuyasha stepped forward," Where's the old hag." Inuyasha questioned, a slight hint of demand in his voice. The woman looked down," You mean lady Kaede.. She past, just two days ago.."
" What!"
The noise echoed slightly as the woman jumped." Is that.. Was she-?" Confusion spread through Shippo as Inuyasha recoiled from his outburst." So.. She's gone.." the woman shook her head," Oh!" she asked quietly, as Inuyasha was about to turn and leave," Have you seen a girl? I need to ask her something and I can't find her anywhere."
" Nope.." Was his reply as he walked out the of the hut." What strange demons.." she whispered, shaking her head.
" Kaede's finally gone.." Shippo whispered as small beads of tears sprang to his green eyes. Inuyasha sighed," Shippo look.. Humans are miserable creatures. They are weak and pathetic, and like us demons, they can't live forever..." He told. Shippo frowned," Inuyasha, why are you so calm about this! What about Kagome, who's gonna tell us when she gets back! For all we know, she could be dead-"
" Shut up!" Inuyasha hissed as he swung around, launching Shippo back into the hut. He growled deep in his throat as he began to walk away.
" Ow!" came the small voice. The woman was just about to get up, until she saw a small form go flying through the wall." Are you alright!" she asked, rushing to the Kitsune. Shippo growled, rubbing his head as the woman picked him up. He didn't really notice what she was wearing until now, as his green eyes looked into her brown ones.
The woman smiled as she looked upon Shippo. She was wearing a light purple kimono with a yellow sash. Her dark, mid-night hair pulled back into a low pony-tail as necklaces jingled around her neck. Purple eye liner circled the rim of her eyes, as light purple painted her nails.
" Thanks..." Shippo whispered as he sat up." I still can't believe the nerve of that guy!"-
" I'm Jihori."
Shippo looked up to the girl as she smiled at him," I guess you would like to know how Kaede was when she died.." Shippo thought for a moment," I'm Shippo.."
" Yeah I guess I'd like to know.."

Kagome...
' Wa...'
You can't go to sleep, it's to dangerous.
' Like I give a- OW!' Kagome opened her suddenly closed eyes as she sat up, her side still bleeding.' Hey! Ow... Why am I still wounded? This gash still hasn't healed yet!' She heard the demon sigh, knowing that she wasn't the only one hurting.
Are you really that stup-
' Hello, I've been away for four years! What do you expect!' The demon sighed again, Kagome feeling vibes come off her.' Wow, your mad?' She chuckled,' Your annoyance is warring me thin girl... How can you not know what's wrong with you!' The pain struck again as Kagome's anger spiked." I have no idea! That's why you're here!"
Sighing the demon explained,' You are a miko, miko of pure blood. That's how you have such strong spiritual abilities. Demons are of evil, painted with blood and darkness, they kill and destroy..'
' What's happening to you is, Your miko blood is fighting out the demon blood that's within you. And that happening, your demon blood is also fighting your miko blood. When these to forces clash, and within the body of a creature, great conflict happens. Say your wound,' Kagome listened ending her eyes to her bleeding side,' These to bloods are at war over the body, they have no time to watch over the body itself.'
' So, what your trying to tell me is if I don't find a way to make my...umm, blood stop fighting each other then I'll die?'
Exactly...
' How cheap... Dying from blood loss and not something more important..like...' Suddenly a rustle in the bushes caught the attention of both people as the sun hovered over the horizon. ' Is it that late? Wait.. Late? I passed ou-'
Kagome! Don't turn your guard down or your dead!
' Alright!' Kagome turn around quickly, ignoring the pain in her side as she watched the bushes. Slowly moving away from them, something started to come out,' Crap! I'm- dead?...' A small rodent approached her, squeaking. Kagome gave it a death glare as it started to run off while a little someone was laughing inside her.' Shut up..' The demon continued laughing,' Oh my Kami! You were scared over that little thing!'
Kagome turned around again, facing the path toward the village.' I need to get there before sun-down, I don't think it's that fa-' Suddenly a huge foot came smashing down upon her as she gritted with pain." Stupid human! Your dare underestimate me?" Kagome screamed slightly, the pain in her side cutting her as the demon's foot plowed her into the ground.

" Oh, Shippo, I forgot to ask you something." Shippo looked up at Jihori, her face plastered with a soft smile," When you and Inuyasha cam here( AN: Alright guys, just so SOME people get it, it's like times past and the sun is setting okay? And Shippo has explain everything to Jihori kk -), I asked about that girl." Shippo nodded," She was quite strange.."
' Strange?'
" What did she looked like?" He asked scooting closer to listen better," Well, she wore very weird clothing and she had the yellow thing, I think it was a bag." Shippo almost fell over,' The only one I know who has strange clothing and a yellow bag is Kagome! Wait, I need to tell Inuyasha!'
Shippo popped up from the mat, rushing to the door," I'll be back Jihori alright!" he called, disappearing into the illuminated setting night." Okay..."
Shippo run to his fullest, back to where they had started camp for the night.' Kagome's back!' Shippo yelled happily, running just a bit faster. The fire from the camp site soon came into view as he raced toward it." Inuyasha! Inuyasha where are you!" He yelled, bursting into the camp site. Sango and Miroku looked up startled as a small voice started to cry," What..?"
Shippo looked into the dark tree tops as Inuyasha glared down at him with his red eyes. Suddenly Shippo bursted out," ShesbackshesbackInuyashaKagomesbackweneedtogofindher!" Inuyasha hopped down from his perch and clunked him over the head," Mind saying that again.." he told. Shippo glared at him, then bursted into a smile," Kagome's back!" he yelled simply.
All eye drawn to him as one pair widened," What.." came the raspy voice of the demon.

Okay Cliffy! Alright people, I just wanted to say I'm so sorry for not updating in like 2 months, Im so SORRY!
And by the way, whoever said Kagome's eyes are brown. First off, in the comic Kagome's eyes are greyish-blue and yes I have seen the anime and they are brown but I like blue better than brown kk. And who cares about the plot! It's a story, MY STORY, It's not perfect. So just wanted to clear the air on that one.
Well It seems that my demon caught a cold and is in the hospital as we speak, lol
I need some reviews to help with this stupid writing so please, LOTS OF REVIEWS OR NO NEXT CHAPPY
