Hm. yeah.. well. ^^;; I hoped you most certainly like the first chapter. I worry about how I write sometimes. I'm a strange little person and tend to get people confused. It simply goes down on the page how it goes on in my head. So. The obvious, Inu Yasha's not mine. Onward, Ho!

*Where am I? Is that.. could it be.. Kagome?! Yes. It is her. What's that smell? Tears? Is she crying? Oh, Kagome. What'd that damned hanyou do to you now? Kagome? There's someone behind you. Wait. I know who that is. But, why?! KAGOME! LOOK OUT! RUN!*

Cerulean orbs burst forth in the night. He sat up and rubbed his head lightly. "Kagome needs me." With that he set off into the darkness.

The old woman sat up in her bedding, stifling a slight yawn.

"They'll be here soon."

With that and a grunt, she rose and relit the kindling. Then she began to make a pot of tea and pulled out her medical supplies.

Just as she had finished those tasks and had sat down, the wind came howling through the hut as a figure entered quickly.

"Kagomeishurtsomethinginhersleepattackingheryouhavetosavehershecoulddieand.. "

The old woman held up a weathered hand to silence him as she nodded in comprehension.

"Ye must wait for the others to arrive."

"WHY?!"

"They shall be here soon and the girl is in no apparent immediate danger."

Inu Yasha let out one of his trademark "Feh's" and tapped his foot impatiently.

Then Shippou burst through with Sango and Mirouku at his heels.

"Now speak, Wench!" growled Inu Yasha.

"They're not all here. Have patience Inu Yasha."

"Of course they're all here, Hag! Or are you going blind?! Let's get started all ready, damnit!"

Another thud. The room grew quiet as a blur dropped to its knees in front of Inu Yasha and held the limp body of Kagome.

Inu Yasha's amber eyes narrowed as a growl escaped his throat. "Get your filthy paws off her, Wolf Boy."

Kouga seemed not to mind his threats. "What happened to her?! Why can't you just take better care of her?!"

Kaede cleared her throat as the two glared death at each other.

"Now that all ye are here, we shall figure out what to do about the girl."
