Two days later...

"Kagome!" Sango's voice boomed through the small house. They were in an old slayers house in Sango's village. Kagome came running through the front door to see Sango huffing and out of breath, leaning on the wall for support.

"Sango! What are you doing?" Kagome yelled, "Your wounds still aren't healed! You need your rest!"

Sango again let out another huff before speaking, "Forget it! I sense an ominous miasma growing ever stronger! It's Naraku!" She huffed again, "I know it is! He is somehow getting stronger, I can feel it!" Sango yelled, and Kagome blinked. "Ominous you say? Have you become Miroku-san?"

Sango's expression saddened at this, and Kagome immediately regretted what she had said. "Sorry Sango." Sango looked away, not wanting Kagome to see the unshed tears that immediately sprang to her eyes. "It's ok Kagome, nothing you could do about it."

Kagome stared at Sango a moment longer, "Well then, off to bed with you. I don't want your wound to re open itself just because you were walking around." Kagome smiled, and then walked over to Sango. "Come on, I'll help you back into bed." "But what about Naraku?" Sango interrupted. Kagome's smiled faded somewhat, "We will have our revenge, Sango. Nevertheless, all things come in good time. We must wait to make our move until you are better." Sango nodded, and then with a slight smile answered, "Ok."

Kagome and Sango walked down the small hallway that led into a small room at the end of the hall. Sango placed her arm around Kagome's neck, while skimming her right hand along the wall as they went. Finally, they reached their destination and Kagome led Sango into the room.

Kagome helped Sango back onto the small futon in the middle of the room. Sango looked around her surroundings and frowned, "Kagome, have you seen Kirara?" Kagome looked up and stared at Sango for a long second before answering, "No, good question. I haven't seen her all day. Why do you ask?" "I don't know," Sango stared off in the other direction of Kagome. "Just forget about it."

Kagome stared at Sango without blinking, "Are you sure Sango?" Sango looked up and smiled, "Yes." Kagome nodded then walked to the door, "I will be just out side, if you need any thing." And with that Kagome, turned and walked out of the room.

'I hope she'll be ok.' Kagome thought to herself as she walked down the hall. 'No, Sango is strong!' she smiled, "She will be just fine." Kagome continued walking until she reached the front door. She sighed, and then she pushed aside the green bamboo blinds, and walked out side. The sun shone brightly, temporarily blinding her as she walked into the light. She shielded her eyes with her arm in an attempt to dim the light, and regain her sight.

"Kagome-Chan." yelled a familiar voice. Kagome turned her head towards the voice, and her eyesight returned. "Kagome," The voice yelled again, "Wolves!"

Kagome stared blindly at the young girl running up to her. It was Miyuki, a girl Kagome had meet while staying at the slayers village. She had long curly brown hair that was pulled up into a high ponytail, and piercing green eyes with long thick black eyelashes. Her attire consisted of a tight blue body suit similar to Sango's, only with a white sash that hung loose around her waist. Miyuki was only fifteen, but it was already easy to say that she was extremely beautiful.

"Kagome! Wolves are attacking the village!" Miyuki yelled, running up to Kagome. Kagome stared dumbfounded at the young girl, before forcefully grabbing her around the arms. "What are you talking about? Miyuki, calm down, what happened?"

"Kagome, Mum and Dah are both-." She cut off, tears now rolling down her face. "Mum and Dah are both dead. Wolves are attacking. Blood is every where..." she trailed off, her sobs becoming heavier with each passing second. Tears streaming down her face. Realization hit Kagome hard, and she released Miyuki from her grasp, letting the sobbing girl fall to the ground on her knees. "Its horrible Kagome-Chan." She cried through heavy sobs, "Horrible."

Kagome glanced around her surroundings, looking for any signs of danger when she sensed it. "A jewel shard." She said just over a whisper. Miyuki looked up with red stained cheeks to stare at Kagome. "Whah?"

Kagome looked down at the girl in front of her, and panicked. "Miyuki, I want you to go find Kirara and meet me at the other side of the village. I am going to go get Sango and then I will meet you there. Ok?" Miyuki nodded, then stood up. "I understand." Kagome smiled, then turned on her heel and ran back to the hut.

"Sango!" Kagome yelled, running into the house. "Sango."

Kagome ran through the house until she saw Sango holding onto the wall just outside her room. "Come on!" Kagome yelled. Sango held her stomach with her left hand, and held onto the wall with her right one. "What's going on Kagome?" "No time to explain Sango. We've got to hurry!" Kagome interrupted. "Miyuki is waiting for us on the other side of the village."

"But Kagome." Sango huffed, "What's going on?" "I told you! Just hurry, here give me your arm." Sango placed her arm around Kagome's neck, and Kagome led her out of the hut. Kagome again was blinded by the light, and stopped for a second to gain her wits. It didn't take long for her eyes to adjust to the light, and she moved forward, only to walk into something hard. Kagome took a step back and looked up into the icy blue eyes of Kouga. His long Black hair was pulled into a high ponytail. The wolf demon smirked and quickly stopped Kagome from falling backwards. Sango swerved a little to avoid falling backwards.

"Hello Kagome." Kouga's smirk widened, "faring well I hope?" Kagome didn't answer; she was at a loss for words. She hesitantly took a step back wards, but was stopped by Kouga's strong arms. Kouga's smirk disappeared, only to be replaced by a more serious look. "Where's mutt face?" he asked, Kagome stared wide-eyed at the wolf prince. "Go Kouga!" Kagome yelled, exchanging a look with Sango. Sango showed no emotion as she stared back. Kagome turned back to Kouga.

"Let me go!" She yelled, forcing Kouga to release her. "Go! Please, leave us alone!" "Where's mutt face? I have a bone to pick with him. Leaving my woman alone with a wounded slayer to fend for herself." He growled, "its sickening." Kagome looked into Kouga's eyes. "Please Kouga. Just go. Inuyasha isn't coming back-." "What do you mean?" Kouga shot back. Sango let go of Kagome and stood up on her own, ignoring the looks she got from Kagome as she did so.

"Kouga, Inuyasha is dead."

Miko: Ok, I'm sorry this still isn't a long chapter, but to those who like stories that are ten thousand words per chapter, not me...

Joey: She has a short attention span...

Hiei: -_-;

Sesshomaru: -_-;
