Liger003 ~ sorry this took so long. I am so terrible. Sorry! I just can't seem to stay with one story! And I have been trying to write them all at the same time. Plus I just got another idea, which I am writing, but have not posted! And I probably won't be able to update for a while unless I write the next chapters really fast because I am going out of town for a while. And you know what makes me type really fast? REVEIWS! I will still be able to write because of my little barely working laptop that is pretty much only good for solitaire and typing. So I will only be internetless . :'{ *tear* So please review!

Huntress

Chapter three ~ new moon run

Inu-Yasha ran forward with his sword outstretched. When he got into swinging range he braced himself and pulled his sword to the side and swung it across; his aim dead set on the girl in front of him. He was shocked when he saw her smile, but thought that she wouldn't be smiling after he sliced her to pieces.

She bent down and grabbed her board pulling herself to the side with speed that Inu-Yasha had never seen before. He held his sword tight as he looked up at the flying girl that was mocking him.

He grit his teeth and swung again. This time she still managed to dodge, but he the sword hit the lamppost sending falling to the ground. It fell and its light was extinguished. Inu-Yasha had not noticed how low the sun was setting. He looked up to the sky and with horror remembered what night it was. It was the night of the new moon.

"Wow, I am impressed. That lamppost went down with just one swing. Think if I was any slower, that might have been me." She joked.

"It will be you. Now let's stop the talking and fight!" Inu-Yasha urged.

"As you wish." She started to swing her glaive again and thrust it down on top of Inu-Yasha. He blocked with the Tetsusiaga. She was pushing down harder and harder trying to force him back. He braced himself, refusing to be pushed back by this girl. He bent his elbows in and immediately threw her off as hard as he could. He needed to get some distance.

He then looked up to the sky to see how much time he had left. The sun was setting and he knew he did not have even an hour. As much as he hated it, he would have to run. She was faster than him with that flying board attached to her feet, but if he could get a head start and run for the well, he might make it. He then would safe in his time, well, as safe as you can be in a forest full of demons at night.

"Oh, you are strong! You will do well in the fights!" Midori squealed happily.

"I will not fight for you!" He yelled and then with the Fang, swung. He pushed her back and then while she was still surprised from the attack, ran for it.

Midori looked up to see Inu-Yasha gone. She looked around and then to her surprise he was jumping from roof to roof. Was he running from her? Why would he do that? He made it clear that he wanted to fight and that he thought that he could win, then why was he running? Oh, well. He was her ticket to money and she wasn't going to let him get away. She revved up the board and went after him.

Inu-Yasha jumped from roof top to roof top with ease, but how long could he keep this up. He looked up, not much longer. He heard the sound of her machine, but refused to look back. Instead he kept his eyes on search for Kagome's house. He didn't do this before because he knew how the people of Kagome's time were and they didn't know a thing about demons.

His eyes searched everywhere to try and find her house and he put his nose and ears to the test, too. He knew that it was extremely unlikely that he could smell her way up here and that it was even more unlikely that he could hear her. Even though he knew the chances were slim, he still kept all senses alert.

Just what did he think that he was doing? She followed him, not at full speed; she didn't want to fall into a trap. She just couldn't figure it out. She remembered how he kept looking up at the sky; she looked up to see if there was anything that she was missing. She didn't notice anything but a sunset, it was pretty, but what would that have to do with anything.

Inu-Yasha spotted her house. It was only a few miles from where he was. He started a mad dash, but then felt his stomach doing a flip flop and his power decreasing. He looked at his claws that were quickly turning into human nails. He jumped to another rooftop and barely made it. He gripped the edge with what was left of his claws and pulled himself up. He knew that rooftops were now out. He looked around for route out and saw a fire escape. He ran over to it and as fast as he ran down it as fast his human legs could carry him.

"What the . . .?" Midori wondered. "What happened to him? He looks . . . human?" So he was a half demon was he? Would he only be as half as strong then? That couldn't be true. He showed just as much if not more demon power than the other demons that she has battled. It just got twice as easy to catch herself a strong demon, even if it was only half.

She sped up and caught up to him while he was taking the fire escape. She quickly took a small tube from her belt and threw it at the demon. Inu- Yasha dodged it enough to where it didn't hit him, but it hit right by his feet. The tube cracked and a smoke filled around him. He covered his nose with the sleeve of his shirt, but it was helpless. The smoke seeped through. He looked as his world started to spin and then as blackness filled the rims of his vision and took over the rest of it. He ended up in a world of complete blackness.

"Whaa! Inu-Yasha's going to kill me!" Kagome screeched as she ran inside to pack her bag.

"Kagome, where is Inu-Yasha?" Her mother asked as she ran in.

"What do you mean? He's in his own time."

"Oh, you sent him back?"

"Huh?"

"Inu-Yasha came to get you from school and you sent him back already?"

"What do you mean? I never met Inu-Yasha at school."

"Oh, really? I wonder what happened to him."

"You mean, he came to my time? To get ME?" Kagome was shocked that he would do something like that, but then it hit her. "If he didn't get me and he isn't in his time or here, then where is he? Oh, no. He isn't lost out there is he?"

"Oh, dear." Her mom said worriedly. "What will we do?"

"I'll go look for him in his time." And with that Kagome took off through the door and down the well.
