The Demon Known as Kagome

Chapter Two: The Demon Inside of Her

Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha and gang.

Inu Yasha came walking into the clearing. He held a certain demon/miko in his arms. He went over to Miroku and kicked him in his side to wake him up (I thought it was something Inu Yasha might do).

What was that for Inu.." He was cut off by Inu Yasha sending him a glare. Miroku stood up and looked at Kagome.

" What happened to her!" he asked urgently. " I'm not sure," Inu Yasha stated flatly, not really wanting to tell him. Miroku hadn't seen her changes yet.

He turned and woke up Sango, Kiara and Shippo. They looked at with their eyes half open.

"Kagome," but before Miroku could finish Sango was on her feet, wide eyed and her fists in balls at her sides, "Where is she. What happened to her?" she demanded.

"Calm down," Miroku said turning to the side so that Sango could she Inu Yasha with Kagome in his arms, "She's right here," he said.

"What happened?" Sango asked as Shippo went to jump into Kagome's lap. Inu Yasha let out a low warning growl before Shippo could do so. Shippo looked at him with a funny and questioning look. Miroku and Sango had heard this too and stared at him.

"Hey.. sniff. she smells different... sniff... Inu Yasha what did you do to her this time..," Shippo said with a look on his face that said If you've hurt her I'll kill you! Inu Yasha was surprised to see Shippo look at him that way, he never realized before how much the Kitsune protected her.

"I didn't do anything." And with that he went over to Kagome's futon and very gently laid her on it. He sat next to her in his usual position (Indian style and his arms crossed). Shippo bounced closer and he was the first one to notice her changes, besides Inu Yasha, "Is that really Kagome?" he asked.

"Of course its Kagome." Miroku stated, but stopped when he noticed her too. "Inu Yasha what happened to Kagome?" Sango asked. "Are you all blind, what does it look like?!?" he half yelled the last part at them.

He stood and picked up Kagome, "I'm going to Kiade's. (Is that spelled right) It'll take a day to get there for me, two for you weak humans," he stated.

"Inu Yasha you should wait till morning at least," Sango said worriedly. "Feh" Inu Yasha said and laid Kagome back down. To all of their surprise he didn't go to his tree, instead he sat right next to her as close as possible.

Shippo went to go snuggle with Kagome, but Inu Yasha let out another warning growl, this one louder than the last. Shippo whimpered and mumbled, "meany." Before he went to Sango

'I don't know what to do with her' he thought as he looked at her, ' I'll wait till morning to take her.'

The next morning came very slow for Inu Yasha, he had fought off two demons during the night. As he saw the first rays of dawn he stood up and streched.

He went over to Miroku and gave him another kick in the side. "Inu Yasha!" Miroku yelled waking everybody else. "I'm leaving now," Inu Yasha said.

He walked back over to Kagome and picked her up bridal style. He was about to leave when Sango said, "Inu Yasha. be careful... and if anything happens to her it will be your hid!" she said the last part more annoyed.

Inu Yasha sped off threw the tree back to the village. 'I hope Kagome will be alright' he tought as he looked down at her one last time.
