********** Chapter 2 **********

Inuyasha rushed through the forest on the way to the temple.

He hadn't had much sleep the previous night because he couldn't stop thinking of Sesshomaru. He wondered where Sesshomaru came from. Why those demons were after him. If he was in trouble; and if he could help him out.

'I'm almost there...' Inuyasha thought as he entered the village.

As soon as the temple came into view; he dashed in his fastest speed.

When he finished running up the steps; he nearly rammed into Kikyo.

"Inuyasha, watch it!!!" Kikyo yelled.

"Sorry..." He mumbled. "Is Sesshomaru okay?"

"He woke up a little while ago; he's in the backyard." Kikyo said.

"Can I go see him?" Inuyasha asked.

Kikyo nodded and led him to Sesshomaru.

**********

Once they got there; they saw Sesshomaru looking in the bushes.

They walked over to him wondering what he was looking at.

Sesshomaru heard rustling and whirled around.

"Oh, hello you two..." Sesshomaru said.

"Hello, what are you looking at?" Inuyasha asked.

Sesshomaru signaled for the others to come closer.

When the got a glance at what was in the bushes; they didn't know what to think.

There was a little sleeping creature in the bushes.

"What is it?" Kikyo asked.

"Kikyo, where are you?!" A loud voice yelled.

"I'm over here!" Kikyo yelled.

Everyone looked at the entrance to the yard to see a young woman enter.

"Hello Songo." Kikyo said.

"Hello." Songo said. "And who might you be?" She asked Sesshomaru.

"This is Sesshomaru." Kikyo said answering for Sesshomaru.

They shook hands; then a small mewing sound was heard.

Everyone looked into the bushes to see that the little creature had awakened.

It made its way to Sesshomaru and rubbed itself along his ankles.

Sesshomaru picked it up and petted it.

"I saw one of these little animals before." Songo said.

"Where? We have never seen anything with two tails before." Inuyasha said.

"I saw them in the wild jungles. These creatures are a sort of cat demon; they transform from small cats into huge beasts when they grow; but there change back into the small forms like this little one is in now." Songo said. "What confuses me is what one is doing here so far out."

"It probably was captured or something." Sesshomaru said.

The little cat meowed and licked Sesshomaru's hand.

"Do you want to keep it?" Kikyo asked.

Sesshomaru nodded.

"Great, now we'll have to dig another grave..." Inuyasha mumbled.

Kikyo gave him a slap upside his head.

"Everyone come in; none of us has eaten yet." Kikyo said.

Everyone followed Kikyo into the temple; unaware that they were being watched.

**********

While everyone was in the backyard; Naraku's crow was watching them.

As soon as everyone was inside; it flew back to Naraku's fortress.

**********

Naraku was in his fortress awaiting the return of his crow.

As soon as he heard the wild screeching of the crow; an evil smirk came across his lips.

The bird landed on a stand and stood before Naraku.

"Did you find them?" Naraku asked.

The bird screeched and Naraku nodded.

Naraku touched the bird on its head; then had a vision of what happened with Sesshomaru that morning.

After the vision; Naraku laughed evilly.

"Do you remember where he is?" Naraku asked.

The bird screeched again.

"Good, I'm going to have a lot of fun torturing Sesshomaru and that Inuyasha." Naraku said. "With the Devil sword, that won't be too hard."

Naraku laughed evilly at the top of his lungs.

**********

It had been three weeks since the arrival of Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru hadn't told much about himself to anyone; the only things he said was that he was on the run and that he was in trouble.

Two weeks ago; Sesshomaru tried to run away from his new found friends; but, none of them would let him go.

They said that they were not going to let him get hurt; that they will be by his side until the end.

Now Sesshomaru was at his happiest level; he had friends that he knew actually cared for him; and he knew of one person he didn't really know, the name of that person Kouga. The thing that he was most happy about was that Naraku hadn't come after him; maybe he was free after all.

But everyone else knew that Naraku wasn't going to leave him alone unless they did something about it. They all knew it was only a matter of time before he attacked. Sesshomaru was a rare and beautiful demon that no one will ever give up with out a fight.

Over those three weeks; a special bond had been created between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.

Right now the whole group was setting up a picnic; except for Sesshomaru, Shippo, and Yamato.

Yamato and Shippo were playing on a tree; under the watchful eye of Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru was petting his little cat demon that he and Songo named, Kilala.

Kilala had changed a little over the three weeks; she learned how to ignite fire for defense.

"Hey Sess!" Shippo yelled. "Can you play hide-and-go-seek with us?"

Sesshomaru looked up at Shippo confused.

"What is hide-and-go-seek?" Sess asked.

Both Yamato and Shippo fell out the tree.

"You don't know how to play hide-and go-seek?!!!" Yamato and Shippo yelled.

"Guys, everything is ready, come on!!!" Inuyasha yelled.

All four demons ran to the temple's entrance; then walked in with Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, Sess doesn't know how to play hide-and-go-seek!" Yamato said.

"Well, maybe from where he comes from, no one knows how to play hide-and-go- seek." Inuyasha said defending Sesshomaru.

"Then those people are dumb." Shippo said not noticing he hurt Sesshomaru's feelings.

Inuyasha punched Shippo upside his little head.

"Apologize for saying that to Sess right now!!!" Inuyasha yelled.

Shippo was in extreme pain, very dizzy, and seeing stars; but managed to say his apology.

"Sorry Sess didn't mean it!" Shippo said, and then he fell down.

Sesshomaru picked up Shippo and gave his a little kiss on his cheek.

"Apology accepted." Sess whispered.

Shippo was blushing; Yamato was snickering; Kilala was mewing happily; and Inuyasha was feeling jealous, he didn't know why.

They walked to the spread out blanket with food and took a seat.

"Inuyasha, where are Kikyo and Songo?" Sess asked.

"They went inside to get something; they'll be out in a few minutes." Inuyasha said.

Kilala was about to chomp into a piece of meat; but Sess grabbed the piece of food before Kilala could bite in.

"We have to wait for the others Kila." Sess said. Kila was short for Kilala.

Kilala mewed begging for food.

Just then the girls came out.

They were holding baskets of pastry breads.

"Now we can eat." Kikyo said.

Everyone grabbed something to eat; Sesshomaru gave Kilala the piece of meat she was eating.

**********

A demon rushed through the forest sniffing for the scent of Inuyasha.

'I'm almost there.' He thought as he sped faster.

**********

Everyone was enjoying the food; until Sesshomaru picked up a scent.

He lifted his nose to the air and sniffed.

"What is it?" Inuyasha asked.

"There is another demon nearby." Sesshomaru said.

Inuyasha sniffed; then smiled.

To be continued...

Who is the other demon?
