Hello people, I am currently not at my house, but that just comes to show
you how dedicated I am! Okay, everyone keeps bugging me about updates, so I
guess I'm pretty popular! *crickets* Oh shut up, will ya?! Anyway, here you
are.
Sango: I hope InuYasha and Kagome make up soon, this is ridiculous!
Miroku: I know what you mean.
Shippo: okay, will you continue with the story? I want to know what happens next!
Denra: You will soon enough! Chill out people!
Yuske: Well you better hurry the hell up!
Denra: *sideways look* what are _you_ still doing here?!
Yuske: Um . . . well . . . *sweatdrop*
Denra: nevermind . . .

Chapter 7
Nightmares come true
InuYasha darted through the forest, with the others on his heels. He stopped suddenly, panting, not from running, but from anxiety.
'Where is she?' He thought, his heart racing.
"InuYasha! Look over there!" Miroku exclaimed, pointing south of them.
Everyone's gaze followed to where Miroku was pointing. Up on the hillside, was castle.
"Do ya think that's where Kagome is?" Shippo asked, clinging to the monk's shoulder.
InuYasha's eyes hardened,
"Oh, that's where she is alright!" He growled as he started to run towards the newly set destination.
'And if anyone hurt her- . . ."
He leapt into the cool night air, his eyes glimmering with unleashed rage.
'They're not going to live to regret it!'
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome paced back and forth across the holding room.
'InuYasha . . .'
A sudden sound shook her from her thoughts. Turning to look where it came from, she found herself staring at an open door that had not been there a few moments before.
'Is it a trap?'
She swallowed her fear and stepped out into a well-lit corridor. Kagome walked down the hall nervously, almost expecting a demon to come crashing through one of the doors on either side of her. There was a door situated at the end of the corridor. Hesitantly, she reached out to touch the handle. But before her hand even made contact, the door slid open. In front of her was a large courtyard, bare and empty. The wind blew across the ground, sweeping up the dust.
"What is this place?" she asked herself.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Sango stiffened,
"Demons are coming!"
InuYasha growled, "Great, just what we need!"
Snake demon came flying out of now where! Barely missing Kirara and the others. They immediately got off of the demon and took fighting stances.
The battle began.
There were more than fifty snake demons, all of which seemed to coordinate each other's movements to increase their chance of winning.
"InuYasha! Go find Kagome!" Miroku yelled over the fight; he couldn't open his wind tunnel because it hadn't fully recovered since the last time he sucked in the venomous insects. He had done it to save Sango's life; after that his lechery seemed to lessen increasingly.
InuYasha hesitated, without Miroku's wind tunnel; they would be at a great disadvantage.
Sango saw his hesitation.
"Go InuYasha! We will be fine!"
She threw her boomerang bone at the same time, killing three snakes in mid air.
"Foxfire!" Shippo cried as a snake tried to bite him. Kirara came up and took out another snake.
InuYasha nodded.
"Right!"
He set off, following Kagome's scent, which suddenly got stronger, telling him she was somewhere ahead. He ran faster and soon encountered a gate . . . well it didn't stay a gate for long, since InuYasha smashed it to splinters with his fist.
He looked around frantically, and his eyes settled on a familiar figure across the courtyard. She was wearing a funny looking, long blue shirt and a pair of weird short pants. She was barefoot and looked nervous; he didn't care.
"Kagome!" he cried, leaping over to her.
She saw him and tears began to swell up in her eyes.
"InuYasha!"
He closed the gap between them quickly and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Who did this?"
"I did."
InuYasha spun around, one arm around Kagome. A demon stepped out of the shadows; he was tall and slim, tan in complexion. He also had silver green eyes, pointed ears, and black strips across his cheeks and a long thin tail. InuYasha snarled; it was a tiger demon.
"What do you want, cat! Why did you kidnap Kagome?!"
The demon laughed, sending chills down Kagome's spine again.
"It is an honor to finally meet you, the half breed dog InuYasha. The one who welds the Tetsusaiga and slices through the wind scar."
"If you know so much about me then you know that you're gonna die!" he yelled drawing his sword and rushing at him.
The demon easily avoided the sword and clawed at InuYasha, leaving cuts riddling his body. Though shallow, they stung with the pain of poison.
"InuYasha . . . you have great potential, and yet you refuse to use that to your advantage. Join me and I will help unleash the power that has been locked within you since the day you were born."
"Why? So I can become more like you?" InuYasha huffed, standing up straight and gripping the Tetsusaiga. "I don't think so! I fight fights with the actual people I don't like. Not manipulate the person by blackmailing them! You are the one who needs help!"
The demon laughed, "You have spirit." His green eyes glittered in the moonlight. "I am Umoniku, Lord of the Menikaru mountain range. Hmm, I do not see your point. Why would someone do the honorable thing, when it is so much easier not to?"
"Here!" InuYasha yelled jumping into the air, his sword above his head, "let me demonstrate!"
Clang!
The Tetsusaiga cut deep into the ground, having missed the tiger demon once again.
The tiger demon headed for Kagome.
"Kagome!" he cried, tearing after Umoniku.
"Iron REAVER!" he yelled, clawing at the back of the tiger. He stopped and jumped away; he was obviously testing InuYasha.
"InuYasha, it was you and your pathetic sympathy for humans that got you into this mess!" Umoniku mocked, "You must learn that humans are weak and useless. I will only propose this one last time, will you join me?"
InuYasha wiped the blood off of his cheek.
"Feh. My answer ain't gonna change! Go try someone else, jackass!"
InuYasha got up off his knees and wobbled slightly, the poison starting to take affect. He kept his eyes fixed on the enemy, but his words were towards Kagome.
"Stay at a safe distance, Kagome."
Kagome nodded, "Okay."
InuYasha growled and tightened his grip on his sword.
"You are going to DIE!" he yelled, leaping into the air.
Kagome gasped, 'This is like my dream!'
The demon raised his hand and brought it down onto InuYasha.
There was a flash of light!
InuYasha was knocked to the ground mercilessly, where he skid across the clearing, up turning dirt and rocks, creating a trench in his wake. His opponent jumped into the air and his hand came crashing down onto InuYasha's stomach.
"Aaaaaarrrrggghhhh!!!" the hanyou screamed so loud that his voice echoed into the trees and through Kagome's body.
'No, no! Not again!'
"INUYASHA!!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
Outside the castle the fight with the snake demons was over, though everyone sported some cuts and bruises, they were fine.
"Sango?" Miroku glanced at her. She nodded and picked up her boomerang bone.
"Yes, let's go help InuYasha."
Something shot through Miroku's mind so fast that he didn't have any time to think, only react.
"SANGO! LOOK OUT!"
He dove for her, knocking her to the ground, the head of one of the slain snake had jumped up and tried to bite her. It didn't manage, but got Miroku across the side.
"Aaaargh!"
"Miroku!" Shippo cried, running toward them. Kirara crushed the head with her paw and looked over at the two humans, worried.
"Miroku!" Sango said, trying to see his face, since he had fallen on top of her. She was able to push him off enough to sit up, but continued to cradle him in her arms.
"Miroku? Miroku!" tears started to form in her eyes.
'Not you too! Please don't die on me!'
Suddenly Kirara scratched and a little flea fell off of her coat.
"Sango! What happened to Miroku?"
"He got scrapped by the fangs of the snake head!" no matter how hard she had tried to sound calm, her voice was on the verge of panic.
"Dear! That is fatal! Let me see what I can do!"
He hopped over onto Miroku's neck and started to suck the poison out the monk's blood system.
Myoga, now big and fat, rolled to the side, muttering drunkenly.
Miroku began to breathe again, though shallow and quick; sweat beaded his forehead and he seemed to have a fever; but would he live through it? Did he have enough strength to fight off another poison? Even if he was still recovering from the last?
'Time and time again, you save my life Miroku . . .' Kirara laid behind Sango's back, so that she could lean against her. They placed Miroku so that he could rest comfortably against Kirara. Shippo lay down on her tails and fell asleep instantly. They couldn't go and help InuYasha, not until Miroku was conscious. Sango lay next to the monk, wiping his sweat covered bangs away from his face.
'Why do you do this? I don't understand . . .'
Her eyes started to close themselves, tired as she was. She leaned her head against Miroku's shoulder.
'Don't die on me Miroku . . . I couldn't bare to lose you too . . ."
