How Nice

Chapter One - Searching...
❦"Inu Yasha! Inu Yasha, where are you?" Kagome ran through the forest searching for the half-demon. She and the other had awoken this morning to find him gone, but tetsusaigastill where he had left it last night. Kagome was very worried about him, not to say that the others weren't. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were spread about the forest looking for him too. Their cries for him bounced off the forest trees and echoed throughout, but could he hear them? Tears began to cascade from Kagome's eyes.
❦ Inu Yasha sat among the roots of an elderly tree, battered and bruised. He had smelled a demon coming closer to where the group was resting and had gone out to shoo it away. If only he knew about the demon...if only.... He was soon overpowered by the youkia. It was much, much bigger than he, and much, much more potent in it's attacks. Inu Yasha was now in dire need of help. The innumerable lacerations and injuries he sustained were almost unbearable, but nothing compared to what was going on internally. The demon was full of poison, one bite was all it needed to inflict serious damage. Inu Yasha had several. He could feel it, forcing it's way through his veins, ripping it's way throughout his system. His internal functions were slowly and painfully shutting down, unless it was his imagination. The halfling had tried several times to lift himself off the ground, to yell for help, but he couldn't move his arms; couldn't speak above a whisper.
"Inu Yaaashaa!" His ears twitched at the sound of his name. "Innnnnu Yaashaa!" 'Miroku!' He wanted to yell back, but his body wouldn't cooperate. His mind raced and his heart pounded. He could hear his own pulse in his ears.
"Mir...Miroku..."He managed to rasp. 'Please..please hear me!' Inu Yasha's vision was beginning to dim. He ears perked up one more time. Footsteps were coming his way...and then leaving. 'Nononononononononono...nooo! Come back! MIROKU!!' He must have shouted the last part, because before he knew it, there was Miroku, and there went consciousness. 'Feh...how nice...' He thought.
A/N: I hope you like! It may be a little OOC, but I'm new to the series. Please review to tell me if this story rocks, or if it sucks so bad it needs a straw!
Disclaimer: Hm...do I own Inu Yasha? ...do you *think* I do? No, I didn't think so either.
