It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, I have been tied up, and haven't had the chance to post anything. But that seems to be a thing of the past, for now. So on with the story.

Chapter 2:
I am almost to them. Close enough to scan their minds. The man closes his eyes in concentration. Interesting... Shikon Jewel... Jewel shards... Naraku. Evil. Kohaku. The man frowns at the young taiji-ya's fate. Sango, Miroku, Kagome, Kirara, Inuyasha. The man raises an eyebrow at their present thoughts. Very curious... Strength. Bone-Eater's well. Being. Must be a reference to myself... The man smirks. Seems I have made quite an impression...
"What was that?" Kagome asks feeling a presence in her mind.
"I think it was him." Miroku responds uneasily.
"Did we all feel that?" Sango asks slightly nervous.
"I felt something in my head, and I don't like it." Inuyasha says with his hands still holding Tetsusaiga in their white-knuckled grip.
"There he is." Miroku said apprehensively.
"Get ready." Inuyasha says holding Tetsusaiga in front of him.
The man walks out of the brush hands up. He was a large man, almost seven feet in height, with well developed muscles. His hair, seemingly consisting of numerous spaller spikes converging into one large spike, was tilted slightly to one side in the light brease.
The man's clothing consisted of a skin-tight blue bodysuit that had many burn marks strewn across it, white gloves, white shoes with some form of brown armor strips covering the toe portion, a brown fur belt, and a cracked and burnt armored top with armor strips similar to what is on the shoes covering the shoulder area as well as the stomach area and hips. The armor on the shoulder appeared to have been longer at some point, but appears to have been broken at some previous date.
Affixed to his back, tilted to the right, is a long lance with a dangerous looking blade at it's end. There are two katanas in front of the lance, tilted to the left. A particularly lethal scythe is affixed horisontally right above the waist.
"I mean no harm to any of you. You do not need Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha." The man said in a deep voice, causing Inuyasha's jaw to drop slightly. A collective gasp of surprise was emitted from the group. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ragetto. I am-" The man now known as Ragetto stopped suddenly and snaps his head to the right.
He's here already!? How? I knew I should have jumped further... It does not matter now. I just need to get us out of here. Ragetto turned to the still surprized group. "I hate to cut introductions short but we need to get out of here NOW. I'm going to get us out of here, but we all need to be touching in some way, so if you will link up, he is getting close..." Ragetto said with a note of urgency in his voice.
"Wait a minute... Who is he and who are you to tell us what to do?" Inuyasha, having regained his composure, now challenges Ragetto growling.
"I do not have time to explain. Do it NOW!" Ragetto yelled, anxiety taking over his voice.
"Why should we do what YOU tell us to do? We don't even KNOW you!" Inuyasha yelled back, angry. Ragetto's face took on an expression of urgency.
"Inuyasha, I told you-" Ragetto's reply was cut off as a group of trees in the surrounding forest collapsed suddenly. "Inuyasha, there is no time. Just trust me for now and I will explain later, alright?" Ragetto's voice took on a bit of the desperation spelled out on his face.
"Inuyasha, just do it. I don't know why, but I think we should trust him." Kagome said urgently. Inuyasha looked over at her, and then back at Ragetto.
"Fine. But you had better have a good reason for this." Inuyasha growls as he places a hand on Ragetto's shoulder while sheithing Tetsusaiga. Kagome places her hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. Sango places a hand on Ragetto's shoulder, holding Kirara in her other arm. Miroku places a hand on Sango's shoulder, who throws a threatening look in the houshi's direction. Ragetto closes his eyes and an aoura encompasses the entire group. A man with purple spiked hair pushes a tree out of his way and looks at the group. The aoura brightens to a high intensity, and then disappears along with the group. The purple haired man growls and punches a nearby boulder causing it to crumble along with the trees just behind it.
"Ragetto... I'm going to kill you when I catch you." The man growls.
