Scroll Five: The Neverending Game of Tag~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha eyed the ground. He paid no attention to the fight between Yusuke and Kuwabara about cats. It didn't matter to him. The only thing that mattered to him right now was Kagome. What could Naraku want with Kagome? He asked himself over and over. He spotted a beetle, and at the moment, that beetle looked particulary like the person he wanted to squash... Kikyo. Kikyo, the woman who had once been his only friend in this cruel world we all share. Kikyo, a miko who could have killed him at any given moment, and refused. But now it was his turn for to kill her, and he would not refuse. He would get her for stealing Kagome from him. He squashed the beetle.

"So what now, dog face?" A voice from the darkened bush said.

"Shut up, wimpy wolf!" Inuyasha said throwing a rock in his direction.

"You missed, dog face." Kouga said, appearing in front of Inuyasha. "Where's my woman? I have come to take her back to where she belongs."

"She's gone." Inuyasha muttered.

Kouga's eyes went from normal to bigger than watermelons in seconds... "NANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???" He was now on his knees staring at his hands. "WHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!?"

Hiei looked at the youkai before them. Then he looked to Inuyasha. "Shut up, you are a disgrace to the race of the youkai." He said coldly to Kouga.

Kouga got up and turned around slowly. "Are you challenging me?" He asked. "First, lets see if you can even catch up with me." Kouga said smirking.

~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, not far away. A shaded figure loomed in the darkness.

"Interesting... My brother's woman has been kiddnapped." Sesshomaru said to himself.

"Mi'lord, what actions are you going to take?"

'I must go see for myself.' He thought.

~*~*~*~*~

Kouga landed on his knees, and was very angry. Hiei was on the opposite side of the clearing, standing up with only tiny beads of sweat for proof of the short battle that had just taken place.

Inuyasha's ears suddenly perked up, "Sesshomaru..." He said to himself from the tree he was in, jumping down with his hand on the tetsusaiga, ready to attack. "SESSHOMARU!!!!"

Sesshomaru walked out of the woods, followed by Rin and Jaken, "Impaitient to see me, brother?"

"What do you want!?" Inuyasha barked.

"I have just heard the recent conversation between your little group." Sesshomaru said. "I overheard that your woman was kiddnapped.

Kouga jumped in between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. "Look, she's my woman, dog turd!" He yelled.

Sesshomaru took this as a threat and used his dokkasou (poison claw) burning Kouga's left arm and chest. Sango stood up. "Look, are we going after Kagome, or are we staying here?" She asked, with glaring eyes.

Inuyasha was silent for a moment. He glared at his brother, then looked back at Sango. With out warning he turned around. "Feh, let's go." The group followed his lead, and Kouga followed. Sesshomaru took his own path in the other direction.

They were walking east again. Only an hour past before they came to a totally massacred village. Inuyasha groaned, he inwardly pleaded, 'No more holes no more holes!'

Keiko ran up to the nearest body, she gasped, causing Yusuke to run over to her. "His insides have all melted!!" She said staring at the lifeless corpse. Kurama looked around.

"There are only male corpses, no females." Kurama said.

"The doings of Naraku I suspect." Miroku looked at Inuyasha, somehow Inuyasha knew what was on his mind. "Sorry, bouzu, find someone else to dig graves for you."

Botan and Sango started looking through the village looking for at least one live human, or a trace of the culprit. Then a sudden blow of the wind brought everyone's eyes towards the sky. Kikyo's Shinidamachuu flew throught the air. Some where carrying souls, some were not. And they soon found out why.

Keiko screamed as they lifted her in the air. "YUSUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"KEIKO!!!!" Yusuke said trying to chase after her. He started gathering spirit energy to preform the shot gun attack, when Kurama stopped him.

"You could hit her." He said. Yusuke sighed in defeat and watched her be carried off.

"I'm going to the spirit world to check things out, be back in a flash." Botan said flying up on her paddle (thing) and dissappearing into the sky.

"It's interesting, why would Naraku want Kikyo to bring him Kagome? Is she doing the same for Keiko and the other females of the village?" Miroku inquired.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm going to find out!" Yusuke said, with his fist closed tightly.

"We best start moving then, I sense a storm coming in a maximum of four days." Kurama said. Inuyasha and Hiei nodded. Shippo stared at the group from his perch on Kirara's back. "What?" He asked.

"Shippo, are you acting retarded on purpose or is this who you really are?" Inuyasha asked with a glare.

"Sango!! Inuyasha's being mean!!"

"Sure sure, go on, cry to Sango to protect you since Kagome isn't here!!"

Sango just looked on. Then a certain feeling upon a certain part of her body caused her to bring hiraikotsu down on a certain monk. "HOUSHI-SAMA!!! THIS IS NO TIME FOR YOU SILLY GAMES!!!!!" Sango yelled at the poor Miroku now on the ground, twitching.

"Feh, stupid bouzu." Inuyasha huffed.

The sun was setting, and they decided to rest in the village mansion, who's owners had also been part of the tragic massacre. Miroku and Kuwabara brought in some firewood, as Sango lit the candles. Inuyasha was outside, sitting on the large deck fence, looking out into the sky.

"Poor Inuyasha," Miroku said to Shippo, "Why don't you go cheer him up? *wink wink*"

"What?" Shippo asked.

"You know, turn into... *whispers*"

"Oh! Got'cha!" Shippo said putting the leaf on his head. *pop!*

~*~*~*~*~

"Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha turned around. His eyes widened. "Kagome?"

"Inuyasha, why don't you come inside?" *tail wiggles*

*Bash!* @.@ "How'd you know?" Shippo asked.

"Feh."

"Your plan failed Miroku!!" Shippo yelled.

Miroku slapped his forehead. "Your not supposed to say that!" He hissed through his teeth. Suddenly a shadow loomed over him.

"Plan?"

"Eh heh heh...?" Miroku laughed uneasiliy.

"DIE!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha said, and the chase was on.

Sango shook her head. "Oh dear..."

"They always do this?" Kuwabara asked.

"Unfortunatley... And Houshi-sama doesn't help the situation any." Sango sighed.

"And they always drag me into situations like this." Shippo said dramaticly. "I wish Kagome were here to sort things out."

"Hai." Sango nodded.

Kirara started growling at a locked door.

"What is it Kirara?" Shippo asked, coming up next to her. Kirara transformed and knocked the door over. Thousands and thousands of Naraku's hell insects flooded the mansion.

"What the--?" Yusuke exclaimed.

Sango threw hiraikotsu threw the air. "Miroku! Watch out!" Sango yelled in Miroku's direction.

Shippo used his kitsune-bi just in time. "Great job Shippo! Now let's get outta here!" Miroku said grabbing Shippo before more insects could try to kill him.

Hiei and Kuwabara were slashing the bugs with his sword. Kurama was fending them off with rose whip. Yusuke with shot gun and other forms of spirit energy. Then Inuyasha walked in, with the tetsusaiga thrown over his shoulder. "Stand behind me if you care for your lives."

They all rushed behind Inuyasha. Inuyasha then looked for the clouds of youki in the air, and as they collided he pulled the tetsusaiga and preformed the Kaze no Kizu. When it was all over, they bugs were all gone, and so was the manision.

"Still think that human blood affects my fighting?" Inuyasha said to Hiei as he walked off.

Hiei looked on as the depressed hanyou jumped into a tree a few yards away. Sango walked over to the fallen houshi and extended her hand. He gratefully took it as she helped him back up onto his feet.

"What now?" She asked him.

He shruged. "But I do believe that Kikyo is working for Naraku."

"Duh." Yusuke said butting in on their "moment."

"What does this Naraku person look like?" Kurama asked.

"His current form has long black hair, evil eyes, purple kimono, and a spider burn mark on his back." Miroku said.

"Or else he looks like a person dressed in a white baboon skin." Shippo said as he transformed into the two versions of Naraku.

"Yusuke!" Someone called. Yusuke looked over. It was Koenma.

"Where's Botan??" Kuwabara asked.

"That's what I came to tell you."

"Well where is she!?" Kuwabara asked again.

"She's been kiddnapped." Koenma said.

"What!?" Yusuke and Kuwabara yelled at the same time.

"And," Koenma started, "They've also got Yukina." Hiei's eyes widened as Kuwabara fell to the ground calling Yukina's name.
