InuYasha's Dilemma Written by: Night Ryder Typed up and posted by: SlingShotRubberDucky

SlingShot the Disclaimer: If we owned InuYasha, would we waste our times pasting these fics online? NO, if we owned it, this fic would be a manga or anime! But I do have InuYasha wallpaper and a couple of screenshots.

Night Ryder: I'm so glad I don't own InuYasha, what a hassle. This fic is hard enough, I can't imagine a weekly episode.

SS: Or nightly....^___________^

NR: Just so you know folks, I'm not an anime fan. But, I wrote this story for my friend 'cause she does like anime.

SS: I'm the friend...^___^

NR: That's kinda obvious, SlingShot. If you weren't the 'friend' I'm talking about, would I trust you to type up this story and not to steal it?

SS: Uhh maybe...

NR: -_-' 'tever, just get on with the ficcy.

SS: OKAY! By the way, This Is Not A yaoi(boy/boy) story. *Starts fic* Enjoy.

Chapter 4 Ashes To Ashes

Inu was furious. Laura was gone, kidnapped by Miroku. Now he was trapped in Kaede's hut with the Lazarus creature. It's steady stare captivated him. By now, he knew it was male, and that it was a better hunter than he was. Inu was in chains, but Eleazar could not be bound. Eleazar wagged his tail happily whenever Kaede entered their cell, and often let Eleazar out to play, knowing he would come back. Inu began to wonder if Eleazar was a dog in human form. Eleazar never spoke, and he acted much like a dog. Then one night Eleazar brought Inu a rabbit. Inu was about to pitch a fit when Eleazar laid a hand on Inu's mouth. "Keep your civil tongue in your head," Eleazar said. "I know you esteem me no better than dirt, but I can get you out of here and help you find Laura." Eleazar handed him the rabbit. "Eat if you're hungry, I have to catch Kaede's supper," he said, then left. 2 hours later he came back with a young deer and a dozen fish for Kaede. There was much praise from Kaede and much tail wagging from Eleazar. She even gave him a fish. She didn't intend to feed InuYasha. She didn't know Eleazar had though. That night Eleazar crept close to InuYasha. "If you maul me you lose all hope of escape," he said softly. "I will loose you an hour after the priestess has fallen asleep." Inu lay awake waiting for that to happen. He loved Laura and badly wanted to rescue her, but he didn't trust Eleazar. Would he really set Inu free? The night grew cold as the fire died, and Inu scrunched close to Eleazar for warmth and comfort. Pillowing his head on Eleazar's hair, he fell asleep. Inu woke with a start when Eleazar nudged him.
"Let's go. We'll catch a buck for Kaede so she won't go hungry, then we'll find Laura," Eleazar whispered. To Inu's surprise, his chains lay on the floor, no longer binding him!
Yura of the Demon Hair was not far behind, stalking them.
"I simply must have their lovely hair," she said. Eleazar shoved Inu to the ground.
"Stay down," he said, then challenged: "Come out, foul demon."
"I'll do as I please, dog boy." She said loftily. She launched her web of hairs at him. She paled.
"You have no dominion over me, spider-witch. I have power that you cannot equal," Eleazar said. "My power is of God, and one day you will tremble before. Lo, I bring you bad tidings, for you shall fall this day."
With that he wrested her from the tree. Inu watched in astonishment as Yura flailed in Eleazar's grasp. Suddenly, she turned to dust, and there was a shriek as the wind blew her ashes to the four corners of the earth. Eleazar came back to Inu.
"Don't touch me!" Inu exclaimed. "Don't do that to me!"
Eleazar touched him anyway.
"See, nothing happened," Eleazar said."I'm not supposed to kill you. You will have to make a choice between life and death."
Seeing Inu's fear, Eleazar added: "But that is a long way off. Follow me, don't get lost. Once we get Kaede a buck, we'll go and search for Laura."
"Why do you care so much for the old woman?" Inu asked.
"Because, it's my job. I have responsibility Inu. You may not, but I do," with that Eleazar slipped through the underbrush as silently as a moth. Inu had no trouble following him, because he seemed to glow. A huge buck came to Eleazar. Eleazar rubber its ears and then followed it to the herd. He chose a buck, killed it, and he and Inu took it back to Kaede's hut. Mission accomplished, they dissappeard into the darkness to begin their search.
