Yeah! I finally got started on the third chapter! Anyway.I'm going to
shut up now and let you start the chapter right away.
Disclaimer: All that I own of this story is Lady Kitsu. Other than that, everything else is owned by the owner of Inu-Yasha. Duh!

While everyone lay down to go to sleep, Lady Kitsu sat up, staring at the fire. But she wasn't the only one up and watching.
It was around four o'clock when Lady Kitsu sensed and smelled the demon. Before she could alert the others, another figure appeared next to the demon in her mind's eye.
From his long hair and a lingering smell that was familiar to Lady Kitsu for some odd reason. Lady Kitsu assumed that this other figure was Naraku, but his scent was extremely familiar to her and she couldn't place it anywhere.
With a snarl that startled Lady Kitsu, Inu-Yasha leapt up from where he had been sleeping, lunging at Naraku without a thought of the demon. Everyone sat up, snatching weapons and preparing themselves for an attack.
Naraku disappeared as the demon met Inu-Yasha with beck and talons.
"Stay back Lady Kagome!" Miroku instructed, running forward to help Inu- Yasha. Kagome sat back down, watching the fight through horror-struck eyes. Shippô climbed into her lap, scared spit less.
Meanwhile, Kirara had joined the fight by jumping on the demon's back. The demon, intent on getting away, opened its wings and uttered a high-pitched shriek.
Sango watched helplessly, knowing that if she used her boomerang she might hit Kirara, Inu-Yasha, or Miroku.
With a sweep of its mighty wings, the demon knocked Miroku over and Kirara off it's back. Clutching Inu-Yasha in its talons, it started to take off.
"Oh no!" Sango gasped, staring at the limp figure in the demon's clutches.
"INU-YASHA!!!" Kagome screamed, standing up and stringing an arrow to her bow.
"Don't do it Lady Kagome! You'll hit Inu-Yasha!" Miroku shouted, struggling to his feet.
Lady Kitsu knew that she had to help but she wasn't sure if she was ready since the last fight with that gorilla demon had taken a large toll of her strength. But she had to help otherwise Inu-Yasha might die. Closing her eyes, Lady Kitsu began the transformation, regardless of the toll that it would take later.
Meanwhile.
Shippô stared up at the demon as it started to carry Inu-Yasha away over the treetops. A sudden bright light made him turn away as everyone else did to find out what made the bright light.
"What in the name of Buddha." Miroku started to say as a figure dashed past them, clutching the sheath that Kagome had been carrying.
"It's.it's Lady Kitsu!" Sango exclaimed as she recognized the two earrings on one of the ears.
"What is she doing?" Shippô asked, a look of confusion on his face.
Kagome bent down to Shippô's level and said, "She's going to save Inu- Yasha!"
While Kagome explained things to Shippô.
Lady Kitsu rushed forward, her eyes on her prey. Instinct took over as she got closer and closer to the demon. Silently, as she drew the Masamune, she leapt up into the treetops. She got extremely close to the demon and yet, it still hadn't sensed her.
Baring her teeth in a ruthless grin, Lady Kitsu leapt up above the demon, the Masamune poised to strike. The demon finally noticed her and it tried to fly faster, away from underneath Lady Kitsu.
'I have one chance to attack before this demon either flees or fights. Either way, it will drop Inu-Yasha to his certain death. I better be ready to drop quickly. Here it goes.'
Lady Kitsu dropped, swinging the Masamune at the demon. The demon flipped over, trying to use Inu-Yasha as a shield but she was prepared. Swinging the Masamune underneath Inu-Yasha's limp form, Lady Kitsu destroyed the demon without a problem.
A sigh of relief escaped the wolf dog half-demon's lips as she dropped to the treetops and caught Inu-Yasha in her arms.
"LADY KITSU!!!" Kagome shouted as the half-demon in question jumped down in front of Shippô, Kirara, Sango, Miroku, and Kagome.
"He's okay," Lady Kitsu assured the frantic Kagome as she set Inu-Yasha carefully on the ground.
Dawn's first rays crept over the horizon, bathing everything in a golden light. (AN: It's six o'clock in the morning. Why am I still up?) Slowly, Inu-Yasha changed back to his normal self and his wounds started to heal.
Lady Kitsu watched the sunrise while everyone else made sure that Inu-Yasha was okay. She sensed someone coming towards her and sniffed. It was the young kitsune, Shippô. He stood next to her, dwarfed by her newfound height.
"Beautiful sunrise, isn't it," Lady Kitsu remarked casually, breaking the silence.
"Yeah. Um, I came to apologize," Shippô said and she detected nervousness in his voice.
"Why? None of you have done anything wrong," she commented, looking down at him, before adding in her mind, 'Except that Sango when she killed my mother.'
"Well, Inu-Yasha doesn't like people saving him and so he never thanks them for it," he replied, grinning up at Lady Kitsu. "Sometimes he can be a real jerk."
She had to laugh at the little demon's innocence before mentioning; "He would get along with my pack with no problems."
A happy squeal and a brief sound of surprise made Shippô and Lady Kitsu turn. Kagome had literally thrown herself at Inu-Yasha and was hugging him tightly.
Lady Kitsu sat down quickly as a roaring sound filled her ears. Miroku was the first to notice that Lady Kitsu didn't look good, health wise.
"What ails you?" he asked, sidling up next to her.
Lady Kitsu gave him a look that clearly said; 'I know your reputation hentai. Try it and I'll rip you to shreds.'
"It's nothing. Just a small side effect of transformation. It really isn't this bad except I wasn't completely ready for the change since the last fight," she explained, glaring up at Miroku. "I don't need your sympathy as I have said earlier on this trip."
"But." Miroku started to argue but, surprisingly, Inu-Yasha cut him off.
"Leave her alone Miroku," Inu-Yasha commanded, struggling to stand up while pushing a clingy Kagome off of him. "If you mess with her, you'll probably have to mess with her pack."
Everyone was taken aback by Inu-Yasha's attitude. Using the Tetsusaiga as a crutch, he limped over to Lady Kitsu and offered her his hand. She stared up at him, surprised since Shippô had said that he didn't like people saving him and he never said thank you.
"Here. Let me help you up," he said, watching Lady Kitsu closely with amber eyes. Everyone stared at Inu-Yasha with wide eyes and open mouths.
"Th.thanks," Lady Kitsu stammered, taking his hand and hauling herself to her feet. Copying Inu-Yasha, she used the Masamune to help her stay on her feet and walk around.
Miroku and Sango lead the way back to their campsite. Kagome hovered over Inu-Yasha like a worried mother as they followed behind Miroku and Sango. Shippô, Kirara, and Lady Kitsu brought up the rear, moving slowly for the half-demon.
They picked up their camp and set off in search of Naraku once more, only at a slower pace for the two half-demons.

Well, third chapter done. School has started (for those of you who read this later, the date is September 2002) and I already have homework. Homework needs to DIE! No offense to those who like homework or anything. Anyway, I better go and start working on the fourth chapter or some homework. . Maybe not the homework. ^_^ Remember to review this! I'm expecting more reviews soon!
Between homework and keeping a fanfiction.net account going, I've been pretty busy, even though school just started. I really need people to email me so that I can have something to look forward to after school and/or during lunch break at school.
See ya!
