************* With Sango and Miroku *************

Sango looked at the sleeping kitsune, then at Miroku. She sighed softly, and stood. She crept out of the small hut, silently making her way to the edge of the Forest of Inuyasha. She leaned against the first tree she encountered and stared at the moon. By the next night, it would be gone. A new moon.

She had a fleeting thought of Inuyasha and Kagome, but that was interrupted by a noise behind her. She quickly spun and got into a fighting stance. But she relaxed when she saw who it was.

"What are you doing out here?"

"I could ask the same of you."

"Just felt like a walk. You?"

"Same." Miroku took a step forward to join her. "What will become of us?"

"Hm?" Sango turned back toward the moon. "What do you mean, Miroku?"

"Well, it may just be me, but I have a feeling that Inuyasha may not come back. So I was wondering aloud, what we will do without him," he explained calmly.

"Oh," she replied softly. "You really think he's not returning?"

"Yes."

"Poor Kagome." There was a period of silence following, before Sango suddenly whispered, "I don't know what I'd do if you ever left me." It was meant for her ears only, but the monk heard it clear as crystal.

He took a step toward her and pulled her close. She tensed, but soon leaned into his embrace.

"I won't leave you, Sango."

((A/N: I had to put some Sango and Miroku fluff in here! They're my favorite couple! Weeeee! But I think their conversation sounds a little sappy . . . . . . .. OH WELL! Deal with it! WEEEEEEEEE!!! ))

********* With Inuyasha and Kagome **************

Inuyasha felt it happening again.

'No!' his thoughts screamed. He wanted to stay like this, with Kagome nestled in his arms. He unconsciously took a deep breath, enjoying Kagome's sweet scent before it began again. The blinding energy engulfed himself and Kagome. For a moment, he thought Kagome was coming with him this time.

He sighed in relief when he felt her disappear, then tensed again when he lay eyes upon her motionless form on the sterile white floor . . . . . . . ..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome's eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the bright lights. She squinted, and put a hand in front of her eyes. She slowly sat up and looked around. At first she thought she was in a hospital, because there were silhouettes that looked like those stretchers in operating rooms. But when her vision cleared, she saw they were more like tables with restraints.

She saw strange mechanical things attached to the ceiling, and an end table looking thing with weird silver objects on it.

Kagome slowly struggled to her feet. Her knees were wobbling and her legs felt like jelly. She heard a scream and spun so quickly she fell down on her back. She sat up on her haunches and turned to were she thought she heard the scream come from and saw-

"Inuyasha," she whispered. He was tied to one of those tables and struggling hard to break free. "Inuyasha!"

When she called the second time, he ceased struggling and turned his head.

"No! Kagome! Get out of here! You're in danger! Get out!" he screamed, then shifted his attention back to his restraints.

"But where . . . . what . . . . how?!"

"Who cares!? Just get away -" he stopped in mid-sentence when he looked back at her.

"What?"

"Look out! Run!"

"Wha-ugh!"

"KAGOME!" She collapsed to the floor, a small bead of blood forming where the syringe had entered her neck. The black shape behind her placed the needle on a nearby table while producing strange gurgling sounds. Another figure appeared beside the first. And another. And another.

"NO!! DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!! GET AWAY!!!" Inuyasha cried in vain as the silhouettes began to gather around her unconscious body . . . . . . ..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ugh," Kagome moaned, sitting up and rubbing her stiff neck. "Hey, where's Inuyasha?" she wondered aloud after searching her surroundings.

"Come to think of it," she said, standing up. "Where am I?" Nothing in this clearing was familiar to her, and she couldn't recognize any of the species of plant around her. She shivered, wondering if she was even in Japan any more. She froze. Something had moved behind her.

"Kagome. What a surprise to see you way out here."
