Yeah three chappies up in one night! I'm on a roll here! (Ignore the man
behind the curtain who's commenting that they were very very SHORT
chapters. . .)
Keep reviewing!

Kagome watched Inu Yasha in horror as he slammed into the wall, time moving so slowly she saw every detail, every movement, as though it took a year. She turned her head to see Seshomaru still in midair, leaping down to pounce on her, claws extended, teeth bared. She swerved out of the way, trying to avoid the claws reaching out to snag her. Her heart beat so fast she felt it would explode out of her chest.
Seshomaru came to land beside her, lunging again to grab her. Kagome dashed away, running towards Inu Yasha, as though he, though unconscious and caged, could still offer her protection. She looked back over her shoulder- Seshomaru would catch her any moment now! A root snagged her foot. She fell- through the barrier that held Inu Yasha, seconds before Seshomaru's claws closed on her. She huddled next to the limp body of Inu Yasha, waiting for the final moment to finish, and the fatal blow to fall.
It never came.
Kagome hesitantly looked up- Seshomaru had run smack into the wall, full force, and was now crouched on the ground, clutching his bleeding nose. She stared in confusion- how had she passed through the wall, when Tetsusaiga, and even strong demons, could not get through?
A hand gently touched her back. Inu Yasha had reawakened, though he could not yet stand. She turned her head, looking into his deep amber eyes as he ran his hand softly up and down her back. She shivered slightly. Inu Yasha smiled, a tiny smile that held all the world of meaning for her-
Noise from outside the barrier startled them out of their moment of happiness. Shippo was squealing in the arms of an ugly rat demon, who wore nothing but a very dirty loincloth, and necklaces made of human bone pieces. He had tattered ears, and a long, hairless tail that was currently being used to wrap around Shippo, holding him immobile. The rat walked menacingly over to the green cage and the recovered Seshomaru.
'Here is the little one, sir. . .' he said in a nasal, oily voice that made Kagome shiver in a very different way than Inu Yasha had. Seshomaru glared down at him, wiping the remaining blood from his own face. His eyes fairly glowed with wrath.
'Forget the little weasel! Why can't I get through? How did she get through? Get her OUT! NOW!' he commanded. The rat winced away from him, and muttered something unintelligible as an excuse.
'What was that?!?' demanded Seshomaru. The rat put Shippo down on the ground, pinning him there with a clawed foot in his back.
'I said, because you're a demon. I made this cage specifically to keep demons from passing through the barriers, and it took me a very long time to erect, as you'll remember, my lord- I had to have all of the preparations completed before hand, and add in specially the spell to block Tetsusaiga- which, if your lordship will forgive me for mentioning, would have killed you without my spell to protect yo-' he stopped as Seshomaru cuffed him, knocking him backwards across the meadow. The rat scrambled backwards, watching Seshomaru advance on him. Shippo, unnoticed, crawled away into the forest.
'Then get the girl out! SHE is the one with the shikon shards, you idiot! Why did you leave humans out of the spell? You knew all along Inu Yasha would be bait for the human bitch! Well? Lower the barrier!' Seshomaru, having reached the cringing shaman, lifted him into the air by his long necklaces. The rat hung there choking for a moment as Seshomaru glared at him.
'I. . . put. . . me down!' he squealed, gasping for breath. Seshomaru held him a moment longer, then let go, dropping him to the ground. The shaman had a moment of rest before he was lifted again, this time by the tail, and carried back over to the green lights.
'Now take the barrier down, before the half-breed twit wakes!' he growled, dropping the rat at the base of the cage walls. He scrambled to stand, then looked inside the cage at Inu Yasha.
'Too late. He's awake.'

So, how are you all? Liking this so far? It'll get better, believe me- as I've said before, this is going to be a long fan fiction. WRITE REVIEWS!!! Thank you all for reading the story! See you next time.
