"Kagome...she's there!! On the shore!" Inuyasha pointed like an urgent child. Miroku, Sango, and Shippou (who later joined them) looked blinded at the direction in which Inuyasha pointed.
"I can't see her!" whined Shippou, trying to get as close as he could to the edge without tumbling off the cliff.
"We wouldn't' be able to," concluded Miroku, in his houshi-sama way. "Inuyasha's eyes are by far that of a demon's even if he is just a hanyou and we, as humans, most likely aren't as capable."
"Wow, you actually sound smart for a change," commented Sango. Inuyasha was amazed that Sango had the kind of will power to crake a joke, especially in the kind of situation they were in.
"Quit fooling around!" growled the Inu-demon, facing a peeved houshi and a giggling demon-hunter. "Let's make our way down the canyon! We need to get to Kagome."
His teammates nodded in agreement and shifted their gear, preparing for a long journey. Inuyasha, on the other hand, in his urgency to leave, had gained a head start and was fervently searching for a safe path down the steep side of the cliff.
While he searched, little thoughts washed into his head. His mind reluctantly recalled recent events. Kagome's bulging eyes filled with panic and fear. He flinched. His thoughts then wandered to speculation. How was she now? Badly hurt? Obviously unconscious, but was she, oh god, dead? He bit his lip.
'What could have happened that would've prevented the whole incident?' his mind questioned. Now that he looked back upon the previous events, he snorted in cruel humor. How stupid they must have seemed. How stupid was their plan? How stupid was he? He remembered grabbing onto Kagome's hand. He'd had her! What went wrong?
The dagger. Inuyasha glanced down at the healing wound in his wrist. Suddenly, he felt anger well up inside of him. 'That dagger could not have been a coincidence. Someone was deliberately aiming for his wrist at the right time! But...' His anger turned curious. 'Had the others seen?' he thought, turning his head to face his companions, hopelessly trotting to keep up with Inuyasha's rapid pace.
"Sango, Miroku, Shippou!" he called. They lifted their heads simultaneously.
"Had...had any of you seen that dagger?" He questioned, unsure of how to word it.
"Dagger?" Sango asked, tilting her head.
"What are you talking about Inuyasha?" Shippou said, giving him a curious look.
"When I was jumping over the canyon," the demon explained. "I caught Kagome but...but a dagger pierced my wrist and I let go," he hung his head slightly, his lingering guilt stinging him.
"Really? I saw Kagome fall, but I didn't spy a dagger," commented the houshi.
"Oh, um, well, never mind then," Inuyasha grumbled. 'What was the use, if they didn't even see?' he sighed. 'Now it looks like I'm trying to dump the blame on something that never happened.'
They scaled down the rocks tediously, stopping numerous times. Shippou was exhausted, Sango was hungry, Miroku couldn't decide which path was the easiest to follow. 'It'll take us ten years to reach Kagome,' Inuyasha groaned, annoyed. The sudden reminder of Kagome sent images of the helpless girl, free to the taking for the wild youkai. Inuyasha was suddenly filled with a refreshed sense of urgency and quickened his pace.
"Inuyasha, hold up a bit!" Sango shouted, "Shippou doesn't look like he can go any further."
"Then carry him!" growled the hanyou, resolving to leaping down the cliff rather than climbing.
"Inuyasha!!" yelled back Sango irritably.
"Let him be. Once his mind is made up, there's not much we can do to change it," sighed Miroku.
"Hmm," Sango rejoined in agreement, tending to the pale fox puppy. She poured a little water from a leather sack into the child's mouth, relaxing the creature enough to let it sleep.
"Sango?" Miroku piped, leaning closer to the ex-demon hunter.
"Don't you DARE try anything," she warned, fingering her enormous weapon.
"That wasn't what I was going to do!" he sweat-dropped. "I was just going to say that I feel a weird presence and I can't seem to identify it," he explained, shifting his eyes to their surroundings.
"A presence?" Sango asked. "What do you mean?"
"You don't feel it? Come on, try harder."
Sango sighed and relaxed her senses and cleared her mind of interfering thoughts. Around her, she felt something...not quite right. It was like a wall, sealing them in. It was far away, Sango judged, but the potential of its power was distinct.
"It makes me feel uncomfortable," Sango said nervously, shifted in her seat on a rock.
"Sango! It's closing in!" shouted Miroku, grabbing his staff and holding it in a battle position.
What had been lying a good distance far away was now charging forward at inhuman speed. The uncomfortable feeling grew rapidly as the creature drew nearer, turning into fear and panic. Like a sound growing louder and louder until it numbs the ears. Sango felt the blood rush to her head and pound horribly on her temples. She stood over a still unconscious Shippou.
When the feeling of danger was unbearable to the point that they could hear nothing but their fragile hearts beating loudly in their heads, the aura vanished. The houshi blinked, his muscles still locked in their position. The woman behind him tried her best to calm her rapid breaths.
"Wha-what happened, Miroku?" whispered Sango, her grip still tight on her Hakotsu (is that what you call her boomerang?).
Miroku hadn't loosened his grip either. "It...just disappeared..." he muttered breathlessly.
"Keep your guard Sango. It's still lurking around most likely," he reminded her, narrowing his eyes and scanning the surroundings. He waited for a confirmation of agreement from the demon-hunter. None came.
"Sango, what-" his tongue was caught. Sango was no longer behind him.
"Sango? Sango!" he cried out urgently, adrenaline flooding through his veins.
"One down. One to go," sneered a disgusting growl from behind him. Stunned, Miroku spun around but was met with a slimy clawed hand wrapped around his neck. Gasping, his body was slowly lifted until his feet hung loosely in the air. Miroku's fingers clawed helplessly at the huge hand, his mouth open and sputtering.
"Inu...yasha..." he choked. The clawed wolf-like hand released the monk, letting his body fall limply to the ground.
