DISCLAIMER: Yeah same as last time. None of this is mine otherwise it wouldn't be FANfiction.

Thirty Days

Chapter 2

"Kaede?" Sango said. The look on her face told them that she was confused. "Isn't that where we are going?"

"Damn it! Come on we have to get there or this guy is going to be riding around on my back for all eternity!" Inuyasha shouted already grabbing the man and heading in the direction from which he had come. "I knew I smelled smoke, but I didn't think about it because it's so close to night and people tend to start fires."

When they reached the village, they saw that the fire had engulfed a small hut.

"I can't smell the old hag anywhere." Inuyasha muttered to himself, "Wait.THERE!" He ran to a small house that was almost completely burned and crashed through the window after dropping the passengers on his back. "Wench, you aren't going to make this easy on me, are you?" He stayed close to the ground to avoid the majority of the smoke, until he spotted a crumpled red and white pile across the hut. He stood to see it better, but was only met buy the smoke he sucked into his lungs. The hanyou's cough was shortened as he half ran half crawled to the pile. When he reached it, he found that it was nothing but some old laundry.

"What in all the hells!" he bellowed as his foot got caught in a small rope. Trying to pull it off he accidentally pulled open the door to a small cellar.

"Inuyasha?" a familiar voice called.

"Hag! Didn't you realize that this place is burning?!" Inuyasha said not believing that the old woman could be so naïve. But down in the cellar, Kaede was unscathed by the flames. Her gray hair was pulled back neatly and her white shirt was still perfectly clean.

He grabbed her and, before she could protest, ran from the shack to where Kagome, Sango, Shippou, Miroku, and Kirara were. He sat her down and turned to see Kagome smiling at him.

"What are you looking at?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"I knew you cared about people!" Kagome said her smile expanding.

"Wha..."

"You know! Saving Kaede and Miroku all in one day. We didn't even have to ask you, you did it for friendship."

"Feh. I only saved the hag because we need her." He said adding, "Besides, she'll croak eventually, I just prolonged the process."

Of course this caused a classic Inuyasha-Kagome argument.

"Geez! You two at it again?" Shippou laughed. To him this was the most entertaining part of traveling with them.

Sango watched them bicker, shaking her head. She turned to Kaede, deciding that since everyone else was caught up in their own little world, she had better ask about Miroku.

"Kaede, Miroku is unconscious and the REAL reason we are here is to ask for your aid."

"Of course. Can ye carry him?" Kaede replied.

"Not by myself, but hold on." she turned to Inuyasha and Kagome, "INUYASHA!"

God, I didn't know Sango could scream that loud! He thought, flattening his ears so that her yell was somewhat quieter. "What, bitch?"

"Are you going to help me with Miroku or not?"

He looked at Miroku lying in front of him and crossed his arms. "No."

"SIT!" Kagome cried. She was sick of him acting like a junior high kid, why couldn't he just admit that he has friends! "I'll help you. I am actually over the age of 10." With that she walked over to Miroku and Sango, helping her carry/drag him to Kaede's hut.

Kaede examined the monk, 'hmm'ing" occasionally. "And ye say he was holding his right hand before he collapsed?"

"Yeah," Kagome answered, "he grabbed his right hand and said, 'I think something is wrong' before he blacked out."

"Do you know what's wrong with him?" Sango asked, afraid of the answer.

"I believe so. I think it is his time to pass where his father awaits him."

A.N. He he.I'm so evil even I hate myself. :-) What do you people think so far? Good or not? Should I continue? Oh and I need some Japanese names, I'll give credit to anyone who helps. Email it to InuFreak06aol.com. Thanx.
