Chapter 13- A Hard Decision

"Kagome!" Sango yelled. Kagome had returned, and she was just walking out of the forest.

"Sango...my leg..." Kagome looked down at her bleeding leg. "Inuyasha is hurt, but he has his Tetsusaiga back."

"Kagome-"Sango's voice faltered, "PLEASE don't go back to where they are. I don't want you to get hurt again, or worse-"

"It's ok, Sango, Kagome looked into her eyes, "I won't. But I would like to at least go back and see what happened to Inuyasha."

"Ok. Now?"

"Yes."

So they left to go see how everyone was. When they got close enough to see everything, Kagome looked down. Inuyasha was sitting up, a dark, strong aura wrapped around him. Kagome looked around, Pikin was not there. "He must have gone back to the village." Kagome whispered to Sango.

"Who?" Sango replied.

"Pikin. Sango, can we PLEASE go down there?"

"Ok, but if there is ANY sign of that demon, we NEED to high tail it out of there."

"Ok."

Kirara went down towards the boys. Inuyasha, and Kouga looked up just as they came down. Kouga noticed the gash on Kagome's leg.

"Kagome!" Kouga yelled, then he glared at Inuyasha. "Are you ok?"

"Kouga!" Kagome looked mad. "There is no need to blame Inuyasha for what happened to me. It was just a thorny root I tripped over."

Kouga looked down at the ground. Inuyasha and Miroku looked at the girls.

"Are you ok?" Miroku asked Sango.

"Yes." Sango said, "I am fine. Where did Pikin go?"

"He left." Inuyasha harshly replied, "To go to that village."

"You know," Kagome was almost thinking aloud to herself, "If we are able to somehow kill that demon, I am sure the auras around you guys will disappear completely."

"You're right," Miroku said, "But the whole question is HOW to kill the demon."

"And also," Kagome looked at Inuyasha, her face was stern, "WHY did you pull that stupid stunt?"

Inuyasha looked Kagome in the eye, his eyes were cold, "I had no choice! I knew it was stupid, and dangerous, but I might of killed that demon if YOU hadn't of come!"

"Ohhhh, so now it's MY fault is it?" Kagome turned around, and sat down next to Kirara. "Fine Inuyasha! If you are sooo good at fighting, then YOU can get YOURSELF out!"

Inuyasha sighed. He looked at Sango. "Any Ideas?" He asked rudely.

"Well," Sango was getting mad at all of them, "IF you do manage to at least make it so Pikin CAN'T come back, here, then maybe there is a way to save you guys."

Inuyasha nodded his head. he was sick of being stuck. And there was nothing HE could do.

Suddenly, Sango remembered something, "Oh DANGIT! I forgot some weapons back at the cave!" She hopped on Kirara, and said, "I'll be right back!" Kirara flew away, leaving Kagome, and Shippo, alone with the boys.

Kouga looked at Kagome's leg again. "Kagome, you should get that cleaned up."

Kagome looked at her now swollen leg. "I'M FINE!"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, then at Kouga. "Make her mad again, and when we get out of this, you'll be sorry!"

Kagome glared at Inuyasha, then at Kouga. Then she looked down. "Sit!" she quietly said.

Inuyasha could feel his body getting numb, this time, he wasn't tide up, he flopped down onto his stomach. "Damnit!" He yelled, "Why did I end up with this curse?"

Kouga laughed. Shippo looked at him and said, "You shut up! Leave kagome alone! Can't you see she is tired of this too?" He looked at Inuyasha, "You too! Kagome isn't some miracle worker!"

Both demons looked down. There was a small shadow. Kirara flew into the opening. Sango noticed the severe silence. "Ok, I am NOT even going to ask about what happened."

"Kagome," Sango looked at Kagome, and walked over to sit beside her. "We really SHOULD go and get your leg fixed up. I am sure the boys will be fine for now."

"Go Kagome." Inuyasha looked at her. His eyes were now glassy, and sad.

"Ok." Kagome whispered, and got up. "We'll be back ok?" She, Sango, and Shippo hopped onto Kirara's back.

"Kirara," Sango said, let's go to Kaede's village."

Then they left. Inuyasha sat cross legged at looked at his Tetsusaiga. Suddenly, he and Kouga looked up. Something was coming at them, slowly, but it was coming.

They all just waited to see who, or what, it was. Miroku caught onto what was going on, even without asking. 'Humans' Inuyasha thought, 'They are so week.'

A figure came out into the clearing where they were. It was a small human. Inuyasha recognized who it was. Rin.

(Ok, if you do not know who Rin is, she is a girl who Sesshomaru, of all demons, takes care of. So be scared. –Anime R Us-)
