*smiles* Wanna know what we learned?
Readers: NO!
Tenshi: *frowns* Oh well. This is the second chapter. Bye! *leaves*

Chapter 6. Trouble in the Deep Forest
"Inu, please slow down!"
Inu paid no heed to her words, but kept jumping from treetop to treetop as fast as he could. If Kaori had the jewel, than the Ikota had a good chance of finding them.
Ikota, he thought if they catch either of us here, who knows what they'll do!
The Ikota were a group of tree dwelling demons who were experts in torture and execution. Inu knew how powerful they were from experience. One time, Inu's father and mother fought the Ikota after the demon group attacked a village. Inu's parents barely won. However, his parents didn't get all of the Ikota because not the entire group attacked. About 15 were alive still.
Dang it. Why did I come to this forest in the first place? Why did Kaori have to get caught up in this? he thought.
Inu.What's wrong? wondered Kaori. Why are you going so fast?
Inu and Kaori seemed to be only a blur to a mortal eye since Inu was going so fast.
Suddenly, Inu tensed. He could smell the Ikota.
"Kaori, you better hold on tight."
With that, Inu raced of as fast as his strength and agility would let him.
"Inu, please tell me what is going on? Who are the Ikota?"
Inu paused for a moment, then raced off again as he answered, "You wouldn't want to know."
Kaori opened her mouth, then shut it as she heard the danger and anger in Inu's voice. She held on tighter to Inu, which turned out to be a good idea as he stopped very abruptly to sniff the air.
"Inu?"
Inu made a motion as if to say, "Be quiet."
Inu whispered, "I can sense the Ikota. They are very near."
Then, as Inu and Kaori jumped to the ground, a net fell from the tree and caught Inu and Kaori in it! Kaori and Inu were hopelessly ensnared!
Suddenly, they were surrounded by weird-looking goblins with swords, griphooks, spears, knives, daggers, and whips. They made no sound as they walked.
Inu growled and said, "Kaori, stay quiet. These demons are the Ikota. They will not hesitate to kill you if you make a wrong move."
As soon as he finished, all the Ikota pointed their weapons at Inu's neck.
"One more move and I will kill you," said one Ikota. He was big and heavily muscled. His voice was like nails scratching chalkboard.
"Grrr." was all that came out of Inu's mouth.
"Good. Now then. Beat him!"
Kaori watched in horror as the Ikota pounded Inu senseless. She opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out.
"Now. Ikea! And Motusasa, bring the girl with you."
"Inu!" was all Kaori managed before she disappeared into the forest.

Tenshi: Hello! *dun dun dun* Cliffhanger! I love writing cliffhangers! ^^
Kaori: *storms in*
Tenshi: Hi Kaori!
Kaori: *fuming* Why did Inu get beat up? You know he hates getting beat for any reason!
Tenshi: *hands on hips* Because I wanted him to!
Kaori: Just because? You really are mean!
Tenshi: Ooooooo. Protective of her territory, isn't she?
Readers: *most of them grin*
Kaori: Hmph! *leaves*
Tenshi: *sarcastically* Bye bye now! *wipes brow* Man, I thought she was going to send Inu-
Inu: *walks on stage* You know. Tesusaiga hasn't killed anyone for days!
Tenshi: *gulps* Well. I don't think that it SHOULD kill anyone. *mutters* Especially me.
Inu: *silently walks up to Tenshi* Well. I think you just volunteered to check whether Tesusaiga can still KILL or not.
Tenshi: *gulp loudly* Uh. No I didn't.
Inu: Too bad. Rye Su Kan Ta Ko!
Tenshi: *puts up shield* *shield deflects most of attack* OW! Sakimaru!
Sakimaru: *pops in* Hello. *he is a wolf youkai ((son of Kouga and Ayame)) and will be coming out in the story sometime soon. Around ch. 17 or so* What's going on?
Tenshi: *gasps* Inu is attacking me.
Sakimaru: Oh. *points to Inu* Is that him?
Tenshi: Yes.
Sakimaru: Hi, Inu. Maybe we can be friends.
Inu: Come on. Just fight me. If you can tire me out, maybe I'll consider the offer.
Sakimaru: *grins* Sure.
Tenshi: *as Inu and Sakimaru fight* *to readers* Maybe you should leave now. *looks around and only a faithful few are left* Oh. You guys should leave. *They leave* And I'm leaving too. Bye! This time, I only need 3 more reviews. ^^;; See ya! *runs off*
Readers: NO!
Tenshi: *frowns* Oh well. This is the second chapter. Bye! *leaves*
