Chapter Two Face off Between Inuyasha & Co. and Dragoon

When are travelers left the village the sun was just coming up, now it was noon and they were nearing the border between the west and the south. So far they hadn't run in to any demons yet but they knew that there would be once they stepped over the border.

"Once we cross those two tall trees we're be in the south," Inuyasha told the group. "So be on your guard and keep alert, if what that old man said is true than we're going to be in one heck of a fight." Once they passed the border Kagome decided that they should all have lunch now since they had had a small and quick breakfast. They were looking for a nice spot when Sango saw a hot spring. "Hey Kagome lets go to that hot spring I need a good bath now and we could probably set up camp here."

"All right then we will make camp, Inuyasha you could get the fire wood, Miroku you can prepare lunch while me and Sango go take a nice bath and don't even think of following us Miroku."

"I wouldn't think of such a thing, I am a monk you know."

"Yah a monk that has low morals and a perverted mind," said Sango giving him a warning glare just to let him know that if he peeks on them there would more serious pain inflicted than what she did in the village. "And just in case Kilala watch him, if he tries to come are way you know what to do."

"Do not worry Sango I'll just be making my famous stew from the supplies that we bought down at the village."

"Hey Kagome can I come too," Shippo asked.

"Of course Shippo, you can come."

"Listen I'm gone to get fire wood." Then Inuyasha bounded into the forest searching for wood. In the forest Inuyasha was picking up some small logs when he heard something flutter into the air. He just though it was a bird, but there was something bothering about whatever it was that flew off but he didn't know what. Unknown to Inuyasha or the group that they were being watched by whatever Inuyasha heard and flew off. Its red eyes glowing and its feathers were a mix of red and gold as it watched and took note of everyone, than it flew off into the distance with grace and headed further south where he was heading for the castle of Draganustu. 'Where is that damn bird' Dragoon thought as he paced the castle grounds waiting for the spy to return from his spying. He was a dragon demon with red scales, his eyes were like a lizards, he had razor saw teeth and sharp claws on his hands and feet he wore amour around the waist area, at the top of his head was a crest (kinda like what triceratops had on his head ya know the dinosaur) in his hand was a long iron staff and at the top was a one sided battle axe. He was just about to leave when he sensed something coming. As he looked up he saw what he was waiting for 'About time he got here'. The bird landed with grace and than looked up at the demon. "Well the great phoenix Kaiser has finally arrived from his spying," Dragoon said. "So what have you seen that made Draganustu want you to spy on," he asked with little interest.

"That is for Draganustu to know," Kaiser said with a powerful, mystical voice. "Where is he," he asked.

"Draganustu is currently unavailable right now; he is enjoying his afternoon bath so you will have to give the information to me that was an order coming from Draganustu himself."

"Fine, since you are his right hand man I will tell you all I know." "There are a group six travelers, one is an Inu Hanyou, a fox demon, but he is only a child, a small cat demon, a girl with strange clothes, a monk and a female demon exterminator." "I still have yet to find their purpose of why they are here in the Southern lands of Draganustu."

"Hmmm well then I will inform the lord of these intruders, now I need you to keep an eye on them."

"Yes Lord Dragoon." And with that the powerful phoenix flew off into the direction of Inuyasha and the gang, while Dragoon went to give the information to Draganustu. Kagome, Sango and Shippo had finished their bath with no monk peeking on them. As they enter camp the delicious aroma of Miroku's stew was quite overwhelming. The sight they saw was quite hilarious, right beside Miroku Inuyasha was in a puddle of drool with his mouth hanging open. Using a ladle Miroku took a sip. "Ahhh just right, ok Kagome get the bowls and spoons, I'll share out the food."

Once everyone had equal share Miroku said that they should cool it....., but before he could finish Inuyasha was running up and down wailing his arms around with his tongue sticking in the air yelling.

"OOOWWW THAT BURN IT BURNS" "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT IT WAS THIS HOT," he yelled and pointing a finger at Miroku.

"I was about to but someone had to gulp it down and starts yelling about how hot it is, sometimes Inuyasha I don't if you think with your head or your stomach." Shippo was laughing hysterically that earn him a few hits on the head by Inuyasha and that earned Inuyasha a few sits from Kagome.

Once they had finished they had finished Inuyasha asked Kagome if she senses any jewel shards anywhere. When she found it she pointed south east, so the group went in that direction. "Hey Miroku doesn't it feel like your being watched," Sango asked.

"Yes I have been having that feel ever since we set up camp back there, whatever it is we should keep are guard up."

"Yah."

Above them Kaiser was watching them but was also listening to them with his sensitive hearing. After Kaiser left Dragoon went to inform his master of this information that was given by Kaiser. He entered the main chamber and turned left where the indoor spring was located. Then he stopped at a shoji door, he lightly knocked. "Lord Draganustu Kaiser your spy has given me the information about the new arrivals you sensed coming here."

From behind the shoji a calm but powerful voice spoke. "Tell me all of what Kaiser gave you."

"Kaiser said that there are six of them: one is an Inu Hanyou, a fox demon, but he is only a child, a small cat demon, a girl with strange clothes, a monk and a female demon exterminator, but we still do not know there purpose here."

"Hmm well then it looks like you will have to encounter them, but do not kill them that will be my decision when I have a crack at them is that understood."

"Yes my lord." And with that he sped off into the forest in the search for Inuyasha and the gang. When the gang stopped the sun had nearly set and the gang was setting up camp. Tonight they were having Inuyasha's favorite ramen noodles. Miroku went off to look for wood with Sango since of hearing the dangers of the south they decided that they should go in pairs when have to do a duty. They had a nice fire going while they finished eating there food. "BURPPP ahhhhhh that was really good," Inuyasha said.

"Do you have any manners Inuyasha," Kagome asked.

"No does that answer your question."

Kagome started to get mad at Inuyasha's rudeness and they started arguing like an old married couple. Above them Kaiser was spying on them when he senses a familiar aura he swooped down into the forest floor and almost got run over by Dragoon. "Watch where your going geese I was almost flattened," Kaiser said with annoyance

"Well you can't just land right in front of me, I wasn't really expecting to see but now that I have I need to ask you where is that group of six you where talking about."

"They are just yonder, if you keep going in this direction you should stumble on their camp, a question why are you going after them anyway?"

"I was ordered to attack them and find out what there doing here."

"Well then I'll be watching." Then Kaiser took up into the sky as Dragoon went into the direction that Kaiser pointed to him.

The argument between Inuyasha end with him being sat, Miroku and Sango just shook there heads. As the spell wore off Inuyasha sensed something approaching fast. "Hey you guys we got company." With that said Kagome got her bow and arrows, Miroku had his staff ready, Sango was in her exterminator outfit, Kilala had transformed into her larger form, Shippo was hiding behind Kagome leg and Inuyasha had unsheathe Tetsusaiga. Then the figure jump out of the trees and landed in front of them.

"Hmm so you must be the intruders that the spies have been talking about," Dragoon said.

"What you mean we were being spied on," Inuyasha yelled.

"Yes you were being spied on since you came into these lands and I have come to get rid of you."

"Huh if you think that you can beat us that easily then got whole lot coming you bastard."

"Hey we got one question for you are you the demon lord of these lands that we heard so much about," Sango asked.

"No sorry for disappointing you, but I am the lord's right hand man my name is Dragoon and I was ordered to get rid of you so prepare for battle." With that he lunged forward with his axe, Inuyasha blocked the attack. As the two dueled Sango was preparing to launch her boomerang, Kagome notched an arrow on her bow. As Inuyasha made a downwards strike Dragoon dodged the attack, then what surprised the group next was when Dragoon attacked again he sent a blast of energy right at Inuyasha, which through him into a tree and splitting it in half. "Inuyasha are you ok," Kagome asked with concern.

"I'm fine," he said

It was then Dragoon heard Sango's battle cry as she launched her boomerang. He dodged it with ease, as it was coming back Inuyasha was back on his feet, he decided to keep Dragoon's attention away from the boomerang and put to him. So he attacked, which seemed to have brought Dragoon's attention to him but it was not so. Dragoon dodged the weapon as it was heading back. "So you though you could kill me that easily, since I trained with Draganustu I can sense when anything is coming my way, hmhmhm" Dragoon chuckled.

"Damn bastard," Inuyasha muttered. Then he was hit by another more powerful blast of energy from Dragoon's weapon, which sent Inuyasha flying through the air.

"INUYASHA," Kagome yelled.

He landed in a tree and by the attack. Next Dragoon went for Sango, but Miroku block the attack with his staff giving Sango an opening to attack, but Dragoon dodged it.

"Damn it can he just keep still, so far we've done absolutely nothing to him," Sango stated.

"I have a plan," Miroku whispered. Just then Dragoon was about to attack when an arrow zipped through the air almost hitting him but he dodged it. He looked in the direction of which it came from.

'So she's a priestess' Dragoon said in his mind just then he heard some one yell "WIND TUNNEL" then everything around him was being sucked into a hole in the monk's hand.

"What's going on...," he said but was cut off when trees almost knock him off his feet. Then Dragoon sent a blast of energy at Miroku which made him close his wind tunnel with the rosary but was hit with the blast. He landed on the ground and lost consciousness. When Sango saw Miroku who wasn't moving she began to worry that she lost Miroku then she lost her worry and became blinded by rage as she lunged forward with all her strength and attacked Dragoon head on. At this Point Inuyasha had gotten out of the tree and was racing to the scene were he saw the battle unfold between Dragoon and Sango. "Inuyasha you're alright," Shippo said

"Yah I'm where's Kagome," he asked

"She's helping Miroku, he got hit by one of the energy blasts from Dragoon's weapon."

Then they both looked at the battle in front of them, Sango was tiring quickly and Dragoon knew this so he dodged her and kicked her in the stomach knocking her out, this is when Inuyasha stepped in and slashed Tetsusaiga at Dragoon which gave him a deep cut across his chest. "Damn it I thought I got rid of you oh well I'll just have to hit you even harder."

"No your wrong, because this is were it ends WIND SCAR." Then the energy blast from Tetsusaiga was coming straight for Dragoon with no escape and then Kaiser swooped down in front of the blast and teleported he and Dragoon away to Draganustu's Castle.

"What just happened," Inuyasha said to himself.
