kagome breathed in the air, she enjoyed the fresh smell of the futle era far better that the musty smell of gas. She looked around but could see no one. The hair on her neck raised up. she felt as if she was being watched. suddenly she heard a noise from a near by bush. somthing was in there. In a flash of red, somthing dived from the bush and almost as if it was a reflex she screamed
"SIT". to Inu-yasha fell to the ground with a very large thud.

She smerked and walked off in the diredtion of the hut. the fun would soo be spoiled with news of a new demon.

Sango broke the news to kagome. many of the villagers had reported attackes by an unkonwn demon. The demon in essence had no way to enter or leave the patroled area but it was. it would prove more of a nusence than thought. After the breif meeting, the group split up to see if they could locate this demon. with kagomes powers, 9if the demon had a shard she would findy it. after hours of searching they finally gave up. it seemed imposibe to find this one. the wind began to blow hard, suddenlykagome heard a noise.she began shiver. she almost screamed but thought better of it. instead she mumbeled

"sit"

she heard no thud nor crack. now she was scared. it wwasnt inuyasha. suddenly, she saw a streak of somthing go by her. the wind picked up to un beleavable speed. then stopped. then she felt pain all ovcer her body. she put her hand to he face and felt cuts all over it.then colapsed...

she awoke in the hut. inu-yasha had found her and brought her back. he had smelt an unknown essence in her aarea when he found her like this. she hasd cuts all over. miroku had told her what, from the wounds, that the demon was able to contol wind and, in thery move with it. she had been out for 3 days, so, in turn she had no i dea what went on during those three days. there had been three more attacks ssince then

she strugled to her feet.

instanly she ran for the door. she just wanted to leave. that thing was out there and she dindt want to meet it again. no one stopped her. she was safer in her time.

they were wrong....

later that month

kagome ahd been at home for a while and refused to return to the futal era till the creatre was cought. just then she was hit by somthing and knocked down. it was inu-yasha.

"we have to go now!" he kept yelling

he was dragging her down the street by here wrist.

"ow, inu-yasha, that hurts stop! SIT!"

there was no responce. then she noticed it. the charm was severed and had gashes and scrathces all over it as did inu yasha.

"inu---"

she was cut short

a man with strange eyes seemed to apper, as if blowing with the wind, infront of them.

inu yasha went for him but he vanished then re-appered on a small bulding. inu- yasha jumped on the bulding and kagome gasped. there standing infront of the demon was ryo. he didnt look scared or even supprised. he mearly smerked.

"RYO! GET OUT OF HERE!" kagome screamed

he laughed. then there was a flash of light. the demon had i giant gash in its stomach and, on the other side, stood ryo, a smokibng blade simmaler to tetsuaga in his hand. he jumped and began moving his hands. creating strange symbols with is fingers. sudenly, a strange light surrounded the demon. he drew his sword. before the battle began it was done. the demon

was gone. ryo walked away. she did not see him again for a long time.
