Inu-yasha pulls Kagome from the path, and into the wood, muttering under his breath, "Stupid brat.wonder what the message was," he thinks, then he shrugs. A loud shrieking sound bounces off the trees, and into his ears. Inu- yasha stops so suddenly Kagome slams into him. "What?" she snaps looking into the forest, "Inu-yasha! A fragment of the jewel!" Inu-yasha looks over his shoulder, "how many?" he asks, "good a fight." he smiles, "just what I needed." "Two, I think" Kagome mutters. "You THINK!?" Inu-yasha yells turning around, "whaddya mean you think?" Kagome holds her ground, "The thing keeps moving," she snaps with a glare. "Fine, you stay here," he hisses unsheathing his sword, out comes a pitiful rusted tooth-pick of a sword. With a malicious grin, Inu-yasha mutters, "Tetsusaiga." With a sudden flash of light the toothpick of a sword transforms into a giant fang-shaped sword. "Be careful, Inu-yasha," Kagome whispers looking up at him. "Feh, I'm always careful," Inu-yasha said proudly setting Tetsusaiga over his shoulder. "Stay here, you'll be safer," He said, as he walked into the forest.
