CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

Kagome sat down on a high rock and watched the demons march away. With a sigh she sat down. Then something caught her eye. On of the demons had separated from the
group and was heading back towards the forest.

Kagome watched him move and knew right away it was Aduroqei. He slipped into the forest and disappeared.

Kagome didn't wait long for him to come out. When he did he had one demon on either side of him. The three of them were pulling out a cot. Kagome gasped in horror as the cot was turned. There, laying very relaxed, but with a gash deep in his stomach, was Tuashimaga. She knew he was in pain, but she couldn't tell if what came next was a laugh of success or a roar of anger.

Kagome's knees buckled under her. She fell to the ground and gasped for air. That horrible monster was alive. What was she supposed to do. The others were in deep
trouble.
