*~*Chapter 9: Miroku's Nightmare*~*
Kagome looked around. The sudden scene change had surprized her. She saw many trees around her. But, the trees were broken and some were totally lifted out of the ground! She also saw many weapons scattered around her feet. She picked up her weapon of choice, a rather crappy looking bow and a few tattered arrows. She sighed. *Well, can't always have the good things in life...*
"HEY! Hurry up! I can hear some comotion comming from about one Ri away (Ri is an old measurement. It is about 10 miles).
"Then we better get going!" She ran over to the hanyou, maybe a little slower than she usually would. *Crap! This damn burn is really taking the energy outa me!* Inuyasha watched her run.
"Oi! Are you sure you're ok? You seem to be slower than usual." She marveled at his perceptivness. She gave him a reasuring smile anyway.
"Of course I am! Don't worry so much! Right now, I just want to make sure that we find our friends quickly!" She got on his back and he took off. He glanced back at her face. Kagome had closed her eyes slightly and he could smell a faint sweat on her. *Kagome...You put everyone else's lives before yours. You are unselfish...You just keep giving and giving away anything that will help others. Just make sure you keep some for yourself...*
"Inuyasha, I sence Miroku's presence!" Kagome was staring at an un-natural clearing a few yards ahead. Ever now and then, you could see a blast of energy that looked like Miroku's Kazanna attack. *I wonder what is happening to him...* Inuyasha had landed a few feet away.
"If it was the Air Rip we saw, then it might not be safe if we just barge in," the hanyou told Kagome. She nodded in agreement. They walked cautiously to the clearing. The pair slowly walked into the clearing, where they saw Miroku. He was holding his hand down, as if restaining it. "Oi! Miroku! You all right?"
"Don't come any closer!!!" He turned his face to them and Kagome was shocked to find that it was covered in tears. "M-my Kazanna is outa control...*argh* It already sucked up an entire village...and...a-and..." He fought his hand again as it tried to suck him in as well. "This fucking curse...It took Sango!!!" A new wave of tears found it's way down his cheek. Kagome had a sudden idea.
"Miroku! Hold your hand out to me!" He looked at her in confusion.
"B-but Kagome-sama...you will get sucked up into it..." Inuyasha was confused as well.
"Kagome no baka!!! (basiclly, "Kagome, you're stupid!") You'll die if you get sucked in!! Idiot!! What are you trying to do?? Kill yourself???" Kagome just looked at Miroku angrily.
"DAMN IT!!! Just point your stupid hand at me!!!" she yelled as she got an arrow ready. Miroku objected, but he lost control of his hand and it pointed at Kagome anyway.
She could feel her feet lifting off the ground. The intense power of his Kazanna was almost overwelming.*Damn! This is going to be harder than I thought!!* Kagome forced herself to keep hold of the arrow before she let it fly in a shaft of pink energy. It buried itself in Miroku's hand and the Air Rip dissapeared. The arrow gave off a loud ringing noise, like the ones the Shikon shards made, and vanished. She colapsed on the ground, panting.
"Heh. It worked.." Inuyasha ran over to her as he yelled at her.
"What the hell did you think you were doing?!? You could have gotten killed!!! Damn it! You're such a baka sometimes!!" she just smiled and nodded.
"At least it worked..." she closed her eyes and sorta fell asleep. Miroku had stopped looking at his hand and sat beside Inuyasha. Kagome saw him and grinned.
"You do like Sango, don't you!" The priest looked at her and his eyes became glassy.
"It doesn't matter that I loved her. She is gone now...."
"No she isn't!"
"B-but I saw her get s-sucked into my-"
"That Sango wasn't real!! The real Sango is somewhere else doing who knows what!!" Miroku looked at her in astonishment.
"R-really?" The girl nodded. His face lit up instantly. "Well, then! What are we waiting for? Let's find her!!" and he walked off merily. Kagome sighed as Inuyasha watched the houshi with a weird expression.
"I knew he liked her," Kagome told the dog youkai. He nodded. She pulled out an arrow at the sound of rustling bushes. "Who's there??"
"Hey! Are we going to get moving or what???" Miroku had suddenly appeared behind Kagome's back, frightining her.
''Eeeeeeekkkkkk!!!!" She accedentally launched the arrow into the ground. "Opps..." The arrow gave off a blinding light and Kagome felt her body jerk off the ground. She couldn't see anything but whit nothingness, but she could feel that she was traveling at great speeds. She looked around and saw Inuyasha and Miroku at her side. Suddenly, they were thrust onto the ground of a village. She looked around. Inuyasha sniffed the air and growled.
"Shit..."

Sorry, I told you it was going to be long and it wasn't. :( I also changed the title. I was going to have them all saved in the same chapter, but I thought it would be too long, so I just made it so that one character would be saved per chapter. I know who they are going to save next chap, but I want it to be a surprize! So, I won't be telling you anything about the next chapter, so there!!! Nuyeh! *sticks out tongue. dodges tomatoes from angery reviewers* Hee hee. Miroku finally admited that he liked Sango!!! Yah!! Those two make such a cute couple!! ^-^ Ok, anyways...thanks to all the people who reviewed my story!! See ya!!!
