Disclaimer: Don't own Inu Yasha...but do own Taku Hashu and Karaku...so please don't use them in your stories or anything before you ask me...

Chapter 4

'No' Kagome's eyes widened further the closer Karaku walked.

He snickered, "Kagome, such a frightened little child..." he shakes his head, "you should thank me for this."

Karaku was finally beside her, she looked up at him with watering eyes, "please...don't"

"So weak...you don't deserve my attention...but it's the only way to get my revenge."

He stabbed the syringe into her neck.

Kagome's scream was like a knife piercing through the silent halls of the castle above.

The group was eating rice together in Kaede's hut, when Inu Yasha fell to the floor holding his head.

"Inu Yasha! What's wrong?" Miroku asked, dropping his half-full bowl, the rice spilled over the wooden floor.

Everyone else got up and went to Inu Yasha, who was now mumbling something.

"What? What was that? Say it again Inu Yasha!" Sango said now getting really worried; the hanyou had never acted like this before.

"He's saying Kagome's name over and over." Shippou said as if talking to himself.

Sango and Miroku looked at each other,

~ * ~ Two Weeks Later ~ * ~

Inu Yasha ran out of the hut so fast that he broke the bamboo hanging from the door frame ((sorry donno what it's called)).

Miroku and Sango got up and started running after him.

"Kirara!" Sango yelled, and got on her after she transformed.

When she had caught up to Miroku she asked, "Why do you think he ran out of there like that?"

"I don't know...he's been very jumpy lately...especially since that one incident two weeks ago....he still hasn't told anyone what had happened to him there...and he's never stopped searching for Kagome since...he only takes breaks when he has to eat, drink and he barely sleeps."

Sango nodded her head.

They had caught up to Inu Yasha who had stopped near the edge of the forest to sniff the air.

"Inu Yasha, what's going on?" Miroku asked.

"Don't you feel it?" Inu asked.

"Feel what?" Miroku asked confused.

"Or at least don't you smell it?"

"Inu Yasha you are confusing me. What are you talking about?"

Inu turned his head quickly to the right. "There."

The monk and Sango looked to where Inu Yasha was looking.

The trees were rustling slightly in the distance, and birds were seen flying up.

"What is that?" Sango asked.

"It's an inu-hanyou..." inu Yasha said after once again sniffing the air.

"Lets wait here." He said.

Sango and Miroku were surprised, Inu Yasha HAD changed a lot since Kagome disappeared. He would have run toward any threat and attacked it first...but now he was waiting...patiently....

When whatever was coming stopped close to the edge of the forest.

Inu Yasha braced himself for what was coming. Sango and Miroku took their fighting stances.

A sliver and blue streak launched itself at inu Yasha, hitting him in the chest.

He was thrown back.

The streak jumped up and landed in front of the group and Inu Yasha who was now getting up.

"Who are you?" Miroku asked.

Sango loosened her boomerang threateningly.

In front of them stood a half-dog demon female with long silver hair tied in a high pony-tail. She was bare-foot, had a blue kimono on and a black choker around her neck.

She laughed evilly, "My name is none of your concern. I am here to kill Inu Yasha."

"What has he ever done to you?" Sango asked angrily.

"That is also none of your business. This is between me and Inu Yasha."

She launched herself at inu Yasha who had been standing there waiting for the attack to come.

'She's fast. Faster than I expected' he thought as he blocked her punches and kicks.

She dropped to the ground and threw her one leg up in a kick which hit inu Yasha in the chest, throwing him up in the air.

He stayed in mid-air for a little bit then threw himself at the other half demon. He managed to scratch her across the cheek.

She jumped back, "well well inu Yasha...how dare you hit a girl like that?" she grinned wiping the blood now running down her cheek from the cut, "You really have changed."

"What do you mean? You don't even know me! I've never met you in my life!"

She smiled and said nothing.

"Who ARE you?!"

She once again didn't respond and jumped at him again, slashing with her claws.

She heard a whooshing noise from behind her, "Why how could I have forgotten YOU two?" she ducked, escaping the boomerang going straight for her head.

Inu Yasha had also moved to the other side. "Tell me who the hell you ARE!"

"You need not know." Her eyes flashed once, "We will meet again inu Yasha!"

She ran to the edge of the forest then sped off.

"NO! TELL ME WHO YOU ARE DAMMIT!!!" Inu Yasha ran after her, but was stopped by a staff being placed in front of him.

"Let her go. She will return." Miroku said.

Inu Yasha sighed, "You're right."

~ * ~ * ~

"You have done well." Karaku looked at her.

He seemed to study her, "But what is this? I smell blood...you let him hurt you."

"Yes master." The girl responded,

"You must be punished for your carelessness."

"Yes master."

"Taku Hashu, take her to the dungeon, and do what must be done."

Taku Hashu nodded his head.

"You shall give them another visit the day after tomorrow." Karaku said to the now departing girl.

"Yes Master."
