Every one stood ready and they saw the first cannibal come it to view of the party. Ashitaka's magic sword, Yakool, began to glow brightly. "Quick Shippo."

Becky whispered "Ahh right." He responded as he closed his eyes and began to concentrate on the cannibal. He opened his eyes as he heard a shout from the front.

"MAGIC MISSEL!" Becky shouted. A large spark shot from her fingers and caused the newly approaching cannibal to fall over dead. For a few moments all was

still. "Watch out everyone." Ash said quietly from behind "There getting ready to attack from the trees." "Shippo I'm taking you off my shoulders." Becky said

grapping Shippo around the waste and setting him on the ground. "I'm going to cast meteor shower on them." Ash said pointing a wand into the air. Kagome and

her friends watched in amazement as small rocks came shooting out of the wands end. Slowly the rocks began to get bigger and soon they were huge. For a moment

they stayed in midair and then they shout from the sky with great speed. Shouts were heard from the woods. "Claws?" Becky asked to herself. The large cat

appeared again. "Go find the rest of the cannibals. Then chase them here. Do not kill them." With that Claws was gone and before long a cannibal ran into the road

in front of them Claws right behind. "Thank you." Becky said quickly to Claws "Maximillions Earth grasp." Becky said with a wave of her had. They watched as a

hand popped out from the Earth and grabbed his lag. The cannibal began to scream as he fell face first into the ground. "Finally it's not me who's falling into the

ground" Grumbled Inuyasha. Kagome smiled over at him "Are you mad that you did not get to do much of anything?" Inuyasha glared at her for a moment then

turned backed the way they were walking. She smiled to herself and continued to walk. "So why were you going this direction?" Becky asked as they reached the

cannibal. He quickly calmed down "Let me go." He said coldly. "Answer my question first." Becky responded, "O forget it." Ash said gabbing the cannibal and

tying it up with rope. "Go look at the other bodies." Ash said looking to Amidimaru and Poin. "Now tell us why you're going this way. "Let me go." The cannibal

said again staring at Ash. "Becky?" Ash said quietly. "Yes alright." Becky responded "insatiable thirst." She spoke pointing to the Cannibal. He began trying to crawl

around "Water." He crackled "Water." "What'd yaw do to him?" Shippo ask hiding behind Becky's lag. She looked at him with sad eyes for a moment. "Hold on."

She looked to the cannibal that ash was trying to interrogate. "Let me try." She said to ash. Ash took a steep back. "Ok tell us why your going this why and I'll give

you some water." Becky told him knelling down beside him. "Why don't you let me go." He crocked back. "Fine tell me why your going this why and I'll let you

go." Becky said to him. He thought about it for a moment as he tried to grab at the water on Becky's pouch. "You'll let me go and you'll give me water?" He asked.

She nodded. "We were sent this way by our leader." He said looking at her. "Who's your leader?" She asked "I told you what you asked now let me go." "Fine."

She said with a wave of her hand the cannibal was up on his feet cured of all magic's that had be placed on him. He looked around rill quickly then ran away as fast

as he was able to. "We didn't find anything useful on any of the bodies." Poin stated walking up to the group. "Lets get going." Ash said beginning to walk forward

"I need to talk with you." Becky said to ash as she walked over to her. Ash and Becky talked for the rest of the day and Shippo ran over by Kagome. "Kagome

when are we going to go home?" Shippo asked looking up to her. She looked down. "Soon Shippo. We just need to make certain that when we leave that bad

people will not come to." "O." He said jumping up onto her shoulder. Once again they made camp and rested through the night. The next morning was like the day

before until they saw Claws froze in his track and point a paw at a small foothill. "What is it?" Becky asked stopping in mid step and walking over by his side.

Shippo looked over to Kilala. "Kilala can I ride you?" Kilala tilted her head a bit then allowed him on her back. "Hay Lara check right here for secret doors."

Becky called. "How'd yaw get over there so fast?" Poin asked "Never mind Poin come on Lara." Becky called. "Give us a minuet to walk over there." Lara called

back as she began to walk over to her. They finally reached the waiting Becky. "Were again?" Lara asked. "There." Becky said pointing at the hill. "Fine." Lara said

starting to look around. "Here it is." She said pulling off a tone of brush from over a large metal door. "How'd yaw know that was there?" Miroku asked looking at

the door. "Claws told me." Lets cheek it out." Ash stated. "Lara go check it out." "Maybe a MAGE should go to." Becky called to Ash. Shippo watched as Lara

rolled her eyes. "I'll go alone." She stated out lowed. "You should at lest take Poin." Becky said looking at her worried. Lara rolled her eyes and basically stormed

off into the cave. "I think you should take someone with you!" Becky shouted into the cave after Lara. Becky watched Lara continue into the cave. "Should we just

let her go alone?" Becky asked to no one in particular. "You know how she is one these kicks. We'll go in after her if she needs help." Ash said sitting down on the

ground. About an hour latter screams began coming from the cave. Every one stood up quickly and began to run inside. "What's going on?" Shippo asked as he

held onto Kilala's back. "I'm not for certain Shippo." Sango said running "Just follow along." Soon they heard shouts from ahead. "Becky's fighting." Shippo state

out lowed. Soon they reached the group. Inuyasha was attacking a thing that was apart of the wall and Lara was screaming at the top of her lungs as she was

dragged closer and closer to its mouth. "We cant let it eat her!" Ash cried as she continued to attack the plant. Ashitaka, Poin and Inuyasha tried to free her but

more tentacle like things grabbed at them and held them still. Inuyasha continued to brake the tentacles from his arms and lags but more continued to grab him.

"Becky! Could you be clever today?" Ash called. "Um um um. O I got it!" Becky cried pointing her hand at its face "Wall of air!!" suddenly the things eyes

became wide as it tried to close its mouth. Its tentacles quickly let go of the captured party and disappeared into the rocks surface. Ash fell to the ground laughing

her head of. "That's. that's.that's the first time in my life that I've seen someone use wall of air as a weapon like that." Lara looked up from the ground were she

sat "This is not the time to be laughing." "Lemundssecureshelter." Becky said waving her hands in the air. A little house appeared in the hall. "We'll stay in here for a

bit." Becky said walking into the hut. The rest followed with an exception for Kagome and her friends. "Are you coming?" Ash asked looking at them. "How could

we all fight in there?" Kagome asked "Dunno." Ash said thinking "Magic is an odd thing." She walked in and Inuyasha's nose twitched "What is it?" Kagome asked

"Their cooking food." Shippo walked over to the shelter and steeped in. "Come on." He called and they all walked into the hut. "Wow" Sango said as Kilala

jumped in her arms. "It's huge in here." Becky smiled to them and Shippo ran over to her. Inuyasha sat down in the corner and Kagome sat down by him. She

watched a moment longer and saw Becky hand Shippo a book to read and saw everyone else getting ready for bed. "It's been a few days since we had a chance to

talk." She said looking over to Inuyasha. "Yaw. But a lot has been happening." Inuyasha said looking away from her. "She lend her head on his shoulder. "Do you

think were every get home?" She asked looking up at his face. He looked down into her eyes. "Yaw, with these people helping us we'll get home in no time."

Inuyasha said putting an arm around her shoulders. Soon he felt her gentle breathing. Knowing she was asleep he let himself drift into sleep.

So? I know Inuyasha and his friends aren't getting much attention but I'll try to let them in more. R_N_R
