Chapter Notes: Hiyas! Ok, first of all, I purely know, I don't own Inuyasha. O.O Anyway, I have this amazing reviewer, Taeniaea, who reviews very often! *Goes over and hugs and gives her lots of candy* I also have to give my thanks to a very kind reviewer, Wings Dipped in Silver! *Goes over and hugs and gives her candy too!* ANYWAY, all you readers out there, go you! Enjoy! ;)

Kagome woke up with the sun blinding her eyes, causing her to squint.

She sat up slowly arching her back against the tree, stretching. Hearing

her back crack, she realized she had felt cramped up. 'All better' she

thought, sighing in satisfaction. Realization hit her as she recalled last

night's events. 'Oh no! I cried like a little girl, in front of everyone! Over

some stupid emotion, too. That's it! I'm never crying again! Who needs

to see my pain anyway?' Kagome thought, and, to take out her anger,

glared at an innocent squirrel nibbling an acorn. Upon her stare, it

stopped, started twitching it's nose, and ran up a tree with the acorn

stuck in its mouth.

"Ha! Yeah, that's right little buddy! You better run!" Kagome yelled in

frustration at the squirrel who was now staring down at her, safely on

its branch. Its own land.

"Girl, what did I tell you about talking to inanimate objects or yourself?

Yes, that is correct, people will think you are crazy. Get a grip." Kagura

said walking in with her fan flipped open.

"Oh, yes Kagura! I almost forgot." Kagome replied hurriedly, standing

up and brushing off the dirt from her legs. She had the grace to blush

slightly.

"Yeah, yeah. Come on, we are already later than I thought." As Kagura

was talking, she pulled out a feather that expanded. Kagome got on

behind Kagura. The wind, suddenly picked up, and flew them in the air.

By now, Kagome was used to this way of travel, so she didn't mind the

unexpected wind that always seemed to turn on and off.

"Kagura, were do we need to go now?" Kagome asked curiously

peeking over her shoulder cautiously.

Kagura turned her head slightly to answer. Rolling her eyes, she looked

at Kagome's curiously coal black eyes. She could see a shine in them

that showed life.

'Huh, well at least that shows that she's alive someway.' Kagura

thought looking over her body, searching for other signs of life. So far,

she found none.

"Kagura, will you not answer?" Kagome questioned, staring right back

at Kagura's blood red eyes. Averting her gaze, Kagura decided to

answer.

"Huh, isn't it obvious girl? I would have thought that you had figured it

out by now. I think I told you."

"Oh." Kagome simple said, taking her regular position of sitting behind

the wind sorceress, seeing only her back. She folded her hands

gracefully in her lap and was sitting on her bare legs. She unconsciously

brushed her ruffled skirt of blue. Admiring Kagura's emotionless

character, she wondered if Kagura had a time, or painful moment

where she cried.

'Nah. This is Kagura we're talking about. Well, I guess she's not as

emotionless as Kanna. Kanna doesn't even seem human!' Lost in her

own thoughts, Kagome didn't notice the sight that lay ahead of her.

Inuyasha flexed his fingers as they wrapped around Tetsaiga's handle.

He could practically feel the rush as battle as he faced a large blue

demon of some sort. What it was, the group could not tell.

"Sango! Go in from the back!" Miroku shouted getting some soutras

ready.

"I'm on it!" Sango yelled back, looking quite pretty in her battle armor.

"Kirara! Come!"

Kirara leaped over to her mistresses side easily. All in one action Kirara

came over, Sango jumped on her back, and they took off to the

unprotected back of the demon. What they saw when they got there

was unexpected.

Sango glanced around. "Inuyasha! There's more demons behind this big

blue fellow!"

Inuyasha glanced towards where Sango shouted, now gripping Tetsaiga

with two hands, pulling it out. After witnessing the transformation of

the supposed old, rusty sword, he ran towards the monster. "Keh.

Bring it on. I'm in a hurry to save Kagome so move it ugly!" Inuyasha

leaped in the air and sliced the demon with one clean stroke to the

face. After cutting it down to size, Inuyasha realized just how many

demons there were.

"Inuyasha, there's too many! We should retreat then come back later

when we are better prepaired!" Miroku called over, deflecting a blow

from a small, demon runt. After bashing it, Miroku lead the others out

deeper into the forest, away from the piercing sound of screeching of

demons.

"That was more than I expected! There must have been at least a

hundred!" Sango gasped, hunched over against a smooth tree gasping

for breath. The trees as far as they could tell, all had spiky green leaves.

"Keh, I could've taken them all on single handed!" Inuyasha proudly

replied, closing his eyes and turning his head away. He had crossed his

arms and was sitting cross-legged on the grass, but he too was sitting

against a tree.

Miroku stood up and walked over to the top of the hill, looking down.

After first sight of what lay ahead his eyes had a blank staring

expresion. "Inuyasha, Sango, Shippou, Kirara. Come here and look at

this." He called out, never once taking off his gaze over the hill.

"Huh?" Sango said, and the rest of the group came over and spotted

what Miroku was looking at, for it wasn't very hard to miss.

"Naraku's castle." Inuyasha whispered, amazed that this could happen

on such a coincidence.

"Why is his barrier down though? Could this be a trap?" Miroku

wondered out loud.

"Or it could be the time when he loses his demonic powers just like me!

What are you waiting for? An invitation? Come on!" Inuyasha called

out running down the hill at inhuman speed.

"Sigh, we better follow him, Miroku. Hop on." Sango wearily said,

already on Kirara's back. After Miroku got on, Sango, to no surprise,

had to slap him.

"Keep your hands off me you dirty pervert!"

"My lovely Sango, it's the hands fault!"

"Try that excuse one more time and I'll…"

And so our group rushed off to Naraku's castle, with Inuyasha rolling his

eyes at Sango and Miroku's argument.

'I'm coming for you Kagome. Naraku might have captured you. Don't

worry and hold on, I'm coming.' Inuyasha thought with a hard touch to

his thoughts, hating Naraku with every second.
