"Inuyasha-baka! Where are you?" Said a worried Miroku.

"BAKA! Come on Sango let's hurry up we have to find him"

"All right Miroku." Said Sango.


Miroku, Sango, Kagome, Shippou are searching the woods for Inuyasha when they woke up to notice that he was missing. They had spilt up in hopes of finding him faster. Miroku and Sango had gone one way while Shippou and Kagome had gone another way. The rain was staring to come down really hard, but that didn't stop them. The wind was blowing wildly. The sky was no longer clear but filled with storm clouds.

"Kagome, why did Inuyasha go way?" asked Shippou

"Tonight is the night of the new moon. He probably thought that he was going to be a burden to us in his human form." Please be okay, Kami please just let him be okay. Thought a worried Kagome. Just be okay and unharmed please.

Back under the Weeping Willow tree laid Inuyasha. His cloths where soaked, along with his hair. Yet, he was still deep in thought.

Look at this! I'm a soaking mess! When was it that it stared to rain? And when did the rain get so bad? I'm probably going to get a cold. I hope the others aren't stupid enough to try to find me. This storm is going to get worse I can feel it. I don't want them to get sick. I can't allow more people to get hurt because of me. So many close to me have died. Father. Kikyo. Mother. Mother…

He could remember the day that his mother had died. He was human and something had attacked them. What had attacked him he didn't know. He only knew that something had came and killed his mother quite viciously.

***Flashback***

BANG! BANG! BANG! Something was at the entrance of Inuyasha and his mother's home. Whatever it was, it was demanding entrance into their home. Each moment the banging became more intense.

"Inuyasha, Go into your room, into your closet and lock both of the doors. And no matter do not, I repeat do not open those doors okay?" Said the mother of Inuyasha. The wall now quaked with the force that this creature was appalling to the door.

"Okay Mama. I will." Then Inuyasha ran into his room, locked his bedroom door, went into his closet and locked that door. Once this was done he curled up into a ball at a corner of the closet. Just then he could hear the door burst open and shatter as the creature came into the house. He heard his mother saying, "Leave us alone we never did anything to you." He could hear the creature snarl and fight. He could hear the creature clawing and biting away at his mother. He could hear the screams of his mother as the thing outside killed her. He could smell his mothers' blood and it disturbed him. It down right scared him. He sat up, wide awake until sleep finally prevailed and he fell into a dreamless sleep.

Inuyasha got up the next morning unaware of what had happen. But then everything came back to him. The screams, the blood, the fighting. He was about to leave the closet, when he remembers that his mother wanted him to stay in there. It was two days later that he finally left that closet, because he was very hungry. When he walked out of his room. The sight that he saw was implanted into his mind forever.

Mother! He remembered thinking. Mother!

His mother was covered in blood. She had cuts, claws marks, bite marks, and bruises all over her body. Inuyasha could see her breathing or hear her heartbeat.

***End Flashback***

Mother it wasn't until later that I knew that you were dead. If only I had come out sooner. If only I could have helped. If only…

Inuyasha couldn't finish his thought because just then he blacked out.

"Kagome, Over here! I can smell him!" An excited Shippou said.
"I'm coming Shippou."

Kagome watched as Shippou push way the bush to see a giant, beautiful Weeping Willow tree. She also saw a figure under the tree. "INUYASHA!" They both said. She and Shippou ran to him as fast as they could.

"Inuyasha! BAKA! You know better then to leave us when you become human."

"Shippou, wait a minute. I think he's asleep" Kagome moved closer to Inuyasha. She noticed that he's lips were blue, he's face was pale, and he was shivering. He also seemed to have a pained look on his face. This caused Kagome to think that he was in deep physically pain. "He's caught a cold and he's unconscious. Shippou go tell the others that we have found him and to meet us back at Kaede's hut. GO!" "Alight." With that Shippou ran off to find the others.

~~~~~~~

"Sango! Miroku! Where are you!" Yelled Shippou.

"Shippou we're over here." Replied Sango.

"Sango!" Cried Shippou. "We found Inuyasha. Kagome is bringing him to Kaede's. She said to meet them there."

"And how was Inuyasha?" Asked Miroku.

"Bad, Really bad. He was unconscious, and pale and shaking uncontrollably. WAAAA!" Cried a grief struck Shippou.
"Do not worry Shippou, he shall be all right." Said the Monk.
"Okay. Let's go to Kaede's now."

The fox demon, the demon exterminator, and the monk left in hopes of finding their sick friend.

~~~~~~~


"Come on Inuyasha. Lets get you home." Kagome pulled Inuyasha up with some difficulty. She pulled his left arm and put it around her neck so he could lead on her. With this done, Kagome began the trek back to Kaede. Hopefully she'd make it in time.
