Crimzon: Yes! I finally got some kind of muse to ignore the annoying writers block and agrivating headaches just to bring you all the next chapter to this story!

Izayoi: Are you okay? You seem different.

Crimzon: -eye twitches- What makes you say that?

Akira: -walks up to Crimzon and looks at her eyes- crap, she had pineapple again.

Izayoi: Geez, you know what that does to you once the effects where off! You are going to crash!

Crimzon: Psh, no I wont … -falls over … asleep-

Izayoi: well I warned her. Ok then, well, SHE DOSNT OWN INUYASHA!

-Izayoi's POV-

The moment Akira gave the signal, I began running as fast as I could towards Shippo. Kuromaru was running along side me. I ran and I ran as fast as I could and that entire time, all I could think was what Shippo had said to me earlier. What if he was right about my father. He has know him for a while and knows what he is capable of, so what he told me could have been the truth … could it? No, no I cant think of that right now. The only thing I can do right now is find Shippo.

-Shippo's POV-

Ah, damn that hurt. That demon came out of no where and next thing I know, a giant wave washes me away. Suddenly I felt a stinging pain coming from my left arm and noticed a gush of blood coming from it. Aparently, when I was knocked away by that wave, I was knocked back against a tree and a rock sliced up my arm pretty good. That's when I also realized something important … Izayoi. Damn, forget about my arm, I need to go a find her!

I managed to get up and find part of my clothes, my pants, and I slipped them on. Then I ripped a piece of the fabric to wrap around my arm in order to stop the bleeding.

"Shippo!" I heard my name being yelled amongst the trees. It didn't take me long to figure out whoes voice that was.

"Izayoi!" I yelled back and I began running towards her.

-Izayoi's POV-

I began yelling his name, hoping he was concious so that way he'd respond back … he did. I saw him and he seemed pretty banged up. He was only wearing his hakama and his left arm was wrapped in some cloth.

"Shippo, you okay?" I asked, the moment I got to him.

"Don't worry about me, what about you? You hurt anywhere?" he asked, looking me over.

"No, I'm fine. Akira saved me from the wave." I said. I could see the hurt in his eyes at the mention of Akira's name, "Well lets get back and help him." I said and right when I began running back in Akira's direction, Shippo grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his arms. He lowered his head near my ear and I could feel his heart beat faster.

"I'm sorry about what I said earlier and I'm glad you're safe. If it werent for me starting a useless argument, I would have senced the demon ahead of time."

"It's okay, don't be sorry. Also, even if you didn't start that argument, we probably wouldn't have senced the demon. Even though I may be new around here, I can feel that those demons are different. I cant explain it, their presence just feels different." I pushed him away and started running to where Akira might be, not even caring if Shippo was following me or not.

-General POV-

Akira kept on dodging the strange demon's attacks.

"Give me the girl!" it yelled. Why? Why did the demon feel so different? I've never incountered a demon like this before. Akira continued to think to himself about why these demons keep attacking them and why they want Izayoi.

"Alright, maybe it's time that I stop playing around and finish this." Akira began to reach for the scythe strapped to his back when the demon apeared behind him in a flash of light and pined him down to the ground, the scythe was thrown off into the trees, out of reach.

-Izayoi's POV-

I ran back to where I last saw Akira only to see him pinned to the ground by the demon. I was about to run to him when Kuromaru tugged on my pants and I hid behind a tree. I have to think of a way to help him. That's when I remembered what Akira said about their sences. I should be able to sneak up on the demon without it noticing me. I unsheathed my sword and began to sneak around the demon. Kuromaru probably noticed what I was trying to do so he ran out of the trees and began barking.

-Akira's POV-

Right when I think I'm going to get beat by some strange demon, Kuromaru runs out and begins barking at it.

"Haha, you think that little thing can do anything?" laughed the demon. I looked over at Kuromaru and then back at the demon and that's when I noticed someone floating behind the demon … Izayoi. Right at that moment, she landed on the demon's back and plunged the blade into it's back, causing it to scream out in pain. The demon the fell staggerd back, releasing me from its hold. I looked back up at Izayoi and noticed that she was hanging onto her sword for dear life. The demon was trying to shake her off when I heard a familiar voice.

"Izayoi get off it!" yelled Shippo. I turn and see Shippo walking this way. That's when Izayoi jumped back and away from the demon.

"You'll pay for this!" it yelled.

"Not likely. Fox Fire!" Shippo snapped his fingers and then the demon was surrounded in a vortex of what seemed like green fire. I guess fox boy wasn't useless after all.

-Izayoi's POV-

To think that Shippo was this strong.

"It's going to die soon. Nows your chance to ask it any questions." Mumbled Shippo. I nodded and was about to ask my question when it began speaking.

"Don't bother half-breed. No matter what, we'll get that jewel from you. Lady Michiru wont allow you to kill anymore of her creations." And with that, the demon became ash.

"M-Michiru?" my voice was shaking and I could feel Akira's and Shippo's gaze on me.

"Hey, you okay? Do you know this Michiru person?" asked Shippo.

"No, I thought I did."

A little after the demon was killed, the sun began to rise. Shippo and Akira argued over stupid things again as we continued on our journey. I was too tired to really listen much less stop them. Everything was just falling down on me and there was just so many questions left un-answered. This all started with just me trying to find my father and now all this.

"Izayoi." I heard Akira call behind me. I turned and saw a stuned Shippo.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I saw his expression change to an angry one.

"I smell him … Inuyasha."
