Chapter 3: A Deadly Alliance, A Deadly Plot

Shaw looked at the demon dressed in the white baboon. "Why's a half-demon dressed in a baboon outfit?" said Shaw, "What? He knows I'm a half-demon?" thought Naraku. "I see you have a lot of shards," said Naraku. "Yes, I do and you do too," answered Shaw. "This half-demon, Inuyasha has half the jewel so far. We can join forces and defeat him," said Naraku. "I encountered him earlier today," answered Shaw, "And I do not form alliances with anyone." "It is just to beat Inuyasha," said Naraku. "I guess I can join him, defeat Inuyasha and his friends with this half-breed and then kill him," thought Shaw. "Alright, I'll join you," said Shaw. "Perfect," said Naraku, "Now follow me." Naraku lead him to a near by castle.

"We've gathered two jewels in a short amount of time. Can't we just return to the village? Its near by," pleaded Kagome. "No," said Inuyasha, "We have to find more. " Kagome sighed as she walked a bit behind of Inuyasha. "But were close, soon we'll be too far to come back," Kagome continued the argument. "Alright, we'll go back, but if he's still not well were leaving. Got that?" said Inuyasha. Kagome nodded as they turned back from the direction they were coming from.

"I can gather many demons to attack Inuyasha, and provide many of them with a jewel shard," said Naraku. "I got a better idea," said Shaw. "Is that so?" asked Naraku. "Yes, there's a village of Demon Exterminators," said Shaw until he was interrupted. "I've heard of them," said Naraku." We sent them after Inuyasha with a few jewel shards. And once they see that the others are helping him, they will kill them as well," continued Shaw. "Not bad," said Naraku, "I like your plan." Shaw went to a corner and disappeared in black smoke. He appeared outside jumping from tree to tree. Naraku ran outside and jumped tree-to-tree right behind Shaw.

Inuyasha and Kagome walked through the forest and encountered a demon, which wanted the jewels Kagome had. "Oh no you don't," said Inuyasha as he drew the Tetsusaiga. The Tetsusaiga transformed and he defeated the demon in a couple of slashes. "You okay?" asked Inuyasha to Kagome. "Yes, thank you," she replied. They kept on walking and Kagome wanted to stop to rest. Inuyasha didn't hesitate or anything. Kagome offered him some of her food from her booked bag but he didn't want any. "Come on Inuyasha, you deserve," said Kagome. "I'm not hungry," replied Inuyasha. "Oh come on, you can eat even a little can you?" said Kagome. "No, I'm not hungry," said Inuyasha. "Okay, fine," said Kagome as Inuyasha's stomach growled. Inuyasha looked down at his stomach then to Kagome. "Okay, I think I can have just a little," said Inuyasha. "I told you, you were hungry," said Kagome as she handed him some food.

After a while of eating Inuyasha and Kagome started to walk again towards the village Miroku was in. Once they arrived they saw Miroku a bit better. But Miroku still needed a night of rest and Kagome said, "Inuyasha, its getting dark, so lets just stay here for the night." "All right, fine we'll stay here the night," said Inuyasha.

Shaw and Naraku kept on jumping from tree to tree and then Naraku stopped. "How can he keep on going? We've been at this for hours," thought Naraku. He continued to jump tree-to-tree until they saw a village near the mountains. "So this is the village," said Naraku. "Yes, now lets go," said Shaw as he jumped to the middle of the village, Naraku followed.

"I want the finest Demon Exterminator to come out, I have a mission for him, and in great pay," said Shaw. A young girl walked forward to them, she was only about 16. "I am who you are looking for," said the girl. Shaw looked in disbelief. "I want to have a talk with you in private, with no interruptions," said Shaw, "Naraku, you stay out here." The girl and Shaw walked into a hut. "What is the mission?" asked the girl. "The mission is to kill a half-breed named Inuyasha," said Shaw. "And what is the payment?" she asked. "Five jewel shards," he said as he took them out., "I will give them to you now, so you may use them against him and defeat him." "Alright," said the girl as she took the shards. "I will take you there myself," said Shaw. The girl just nodded and said, "Just let me get ready." "Of course," said Shaw as he walked outside. "Ready to go Naraku?" asked Shaw, Naraku nodded.
