to be honest. That, and I've had so many people over I haven't had time.
I'm sorry. Please read and review, thanks buddies! *****
Chapter 14: Shadow's Revealed
Sango held on tight to the dragon, feeling the wind whip around her face. Looking back, she saw the houshi staring down at the ground, not even looking like he was watching anything. His eyes were half closed and he breathed deeply. Turning back around, Sango sighed and petted Kirara.
' I wonder what's on the houshi's mind.'
Looking down at the dragons' hard scales, she began to think of everything's that's been going on. Miroku had been turned into a demon, and surly that made her scared, but it could have been worse, right?
' He could have been killed. But maybe, that ain't the worst.'
He must be going through hell, and she figured why. Of all their travels, none had turned out this badly. They may never find the person who turned him into a demon. They may not even be able to save him.
A load noise woke her from her stupor. Glancing up, she saw Inu Yasha holding onto the dragon tightly.
" Something's wrong, its scared!" he screamed.
The dragon jolted and began descending downward. Looking down to the demons side she saw a large hole with blood gushing out.
' Must have been hit, but by what!'
The were going down. Sango watched as the ground started to become clearer. Everything was coming closer at a fast pace. They were gunna crash.

Sango groaned and looked up. She was laying on her back in the middle of the woods. Suddenly she realized what happened. Jumping up, she looked around franticly. Finally she spotted Kagome clutching onto Shippou. Running over, she shook the younger woman.
" Kagome-sama, Kagome-sama wake up!" she begged.
Kagome moaned and looked up at Sango.
" What happened?"
" We crashed, we have to find the boys."
Getting up, both began their search. Sango spotted the dragon. Its black scales were drenched in dark blood and it wasn't moving.
She heard something move. Looking down, she saw Miroku getting up from the ground.
" Houshi-sama!" She cried, running over. " Are you all right?"
Miroku growled and held his hand to his head. " Fine Lady Sango, I'm all right."
His demonic eyes glowed as she helped him stand fully. He wobbled a bit before getting his balance, holding onto his staff for support. Suddenly Kagomes cry rang out.
" Sango, Inu Yasha's hurt!"
Both monk and demon huntress ran over and saw Kagome cradling Inu Yasha, his head on her lap. Blood caked his fire rat fur and face. Miroku began looking for a wound as soon as possible.
" Here, in the side. He must have fallen on something or something hit him.like it did the dragon." He whispered.
Sango was instantly on alert. How long had they been out? She saw it was almost dark, so it had to be a few hours or so. What type of demon could come over and leave such a wound though. If they wanted him dead, they would have just taken him.
' No, something else is going on.'
Something behind her stirred. Spinning around, she saw a man walk out of the shadows.
' Jack! But what is he doing here?'
" Hurry, you must fallow me." He said blankly. " Come, grab your friend."
Sango and Kagome looked at each other and nodded, a sign telling Miroku to pick up Inu Yasha. Fallowing Jack into the dark woods didn't seem smart, but they had no choice.
' And what if he's the one who attacked us!'
Stepping over leaves and bushes, she watched him walk. He glided across the ground gracefully and walked tense, as if he was ready for battle. His right hand was always near his sword and never moved. The other held his whip tightly. The cape which he wore blew past easily, but never got caught on a branch or twig.
He stopped and pointed. " Over there, a cave. Come on."
The group fallowed, walking into the cave nervous. Placing Inu Yasha down, Miroku looked up at Jack.
" Why did you help us?" He asked.
Jack merely shrugged. " I don't know. You seem like you needed help."
Sango couldn't argue with that. Maybe he was just trying to be nice, but maybe not. He was with Naraku after all. She didn't know.
' And perhaps he's trying to catch you off guard. Maybe with Inu Yasha down he believes he can beat us.'
That was also a possibility. She wouldn't put anything past the guy. Something tugged at her though. He didn't seem nasty to them, not once.
Miroku sighed and sat back, closing the demon eyes he possessed. Sango couldn't help but stare at him. Once again she wondered how he was feeling. The monk pretty much kept to himself, never speaking much to anyone about his emotions. She couldn't help but wonder how someone could do that.
" Whats wrong?"
She looked up to see Jack's dark brown eyes looking into her own. She looked down, a bit embarrassed at being caught looking at the monk. Jack only shook his head and stared outside.
" Its coming."
It was Inu Yasha's turn to look out and stare. " Whats coming?"
" Shadow."
Everyone looked up at him confused, even Kagome. She slowly walked over to the man and placed a hand on his shoulder. He looked down at her and the two seemed to just stare at eachother, as if they were mentally talking. Looking away Kagome walked over to Inu Yasha.
" What the hell is a " Shadow?" Inu Yasha growled, grabbing the Tetsusaiga.
Jack cleared his throat and brushed away a few locks of fallen hair from his eyes. " Shadow is an old demon created by Naraku. It's been feeding, growing stronger. Shadow can even heal your friend. But it wants you, Inu Yasha. It wants your shards, it wants you dead."
Inu Yasha didn't respond, taking in everything at once. With a growl he turned away and headed to the back of the cave, sitting down. " So how long will it take to get here?"
" It should be here... now."
A large explosion erupted shaking the ground. Everyone looked up shocked as a dark creature jumped out of the woods and headed toward them.
** End chappy. Wow, that took a while. I told you, I forgot, but its back! Mwahahahahaha! Read and review! **
