Thanks for the reviews!
Chapter15
Sango and Miroku made their way down a very steep, very rocky hill with Kaede, and Shippo riding on Kirara. They had found Kaede in the village quickly enough, and when they told her what happened, she immediately gathered some herbs and departed from the village. The strange thing about it though, was a soon as they turned to leave the village, a huge tree fell in their path. Kirara tried to fly over it, but there was a very strong aura around the tree, and anytime Kirara tried to fly over it, she was immediately thrown back to the ground. So Miroku and the others had to find another way to get back to the village.
"Hmmm," Miroku pondered. "How odd.."
"You mean about the tree falling, and the strange aura around it?"
"Hmmm," Miroku responded. "The shield around it was too powerful. Causing us to find another path to get back to the village. Maybe a longer path."
"Do you think that Raku demon had something to do with it?" Sango asked.
"Probably."
"Well we can't get our hopes down!" Shippo piped up. "We have to get back to the village quickly so we can help Kagome!"
"Aye child. Tell me of this Raku character."
So Sango and Miroku explained to Kaede what had happened on their way to the village. As well as what Raku had said about being Naraku's reincarnation.
"I see. If this is so, Kagome and Inuyasha must have had some problems back at the village with him. We must hurry to the village. For Kagome's sake as well as Inuyasha's!"
* * *
Kagome pulled Inuyasha to a large roller coaster called "Lightning Blaze."
"It's a really cool ride Inuyasha!" Kagome urged.
"It looks like a large, moving, demon," Inuyasha said as the roller coaster whizzed by.
"I'm positive it's safe! I've wanted to ride on this for a long, long time! But last time I was too short!" Kagome pouted. Kagome dragged Inuyasha to the front of the line, and smiled as she saw the carts of the roller coaster pull up.
"Come on Inuyasha! This is going to be great!"
* * *
Inuyasha stumbled out of the roller coaster with a sick look on his face, and a yelling Kagome behind him.
"That was awesome!" Kagome screeched. "Want to go again!?"
Inuyasha's face turned green at the thought. "You mean. You actually liked that thing!?"
"Yeah! Of course! It's so much fun, don't you think?!"
Inuyasha glared at her and said, "No!"
Kagome looked at him strangely and said, "Oh well! Let's go do something else!"
Inuyasha pulled away from Kagome and asked, "We're not getting on another roller killer are we!?"
Kagome had to laugh at that. "Okay Inuyasha, we won't go on another roller killer."
Inuyasha sighed in relief, and joined Kagome.
"Let's get something to eat," Inuyasha suggested. "Those roller killers make me hungry. Not to mention sick."
"Okay," Kagome laughed. " As long as you don't spill anything on your kimono. I just washed it. I thought you were going to puke on it when we were on the roller coasater. Would you like some cotton candy?"
"Your people eat cotton!?" Inuyasha asked surprised. "And you said I was weird."
"No! It's. It's. Just put it this way. It's really good," Kagome explained.
"As long as it's not as bad as the roller killer!"
* * *
"Do you think Kagome's alright? We have been gone an awful long time," Sango asked as they set up camp for the night.
"Kagome is a very strong person," Miroku said. "I'm sure she will be just fine."
"Do you think Inuyasha can protect her from Naraku's henchmen until we get back?" Sango asked hopefully.
"Yes," Miroku said hesitantly. "But."
"But who will protect you?" came a scratchy voice. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and Kaede looked up into the sky to see Raku! Hovering over them in the trees.
"Ha! I see you've returned!" Miroku yelled, grabbing his staff.
"This time you won't escape!" Sango yelled as well. She grabbed her boomerang and got into position.
"You're dumber than you look if you think you can defeat me! You weren't even strong enough to get threw my shield back at the village."
"So it was you!" Sango yelled.
"Yes, it was," he hissed. "And when I'm done with you, you'll wish you were back at that village!"
Raku gave off a battle cry and lunged at Sango. Sango dodged him easily, but he pulled up from the ground, and went after her again. Sango pulled her massive boomerang in front of her, and watched as Raku hit her boomerang numerous times.
Miroku ran behind Raku and struck him with his staff. Raku stopped his rampage on Sango and glared at the monk.
Raku balled his hands into fist and outstretched them as far as he could. He muttered something and his hands began to glow.
"He has a large amount of power in his hands!" Miroku yelled quickly.
"Get out of the way!" Sango screamed as the energy was released from Raku's fist. Sango got out of Raku's path quick enough, but Miroku wasn't so lucky. He hadn't moved quickly enough. The blast hit him in his left arm and he gave off a yell of pain.
Raku put his arms down and smiled at Miroku mischievously. Miroku struggled to get up, but managed by leaning on his staff.
"Come on," Miroku panted. "I'm ready."
Raku's grin only got wider as he replied, "What made you think I'm coming after you!"
Raku flew straight toward Miroku, and Miroku got in a defensive position. Raku was just an inch from Miroku when he flew over Miroku.
"I'm going after the old woman and child!" he laughed.
"Shippo! Kaede!" Sango cried as she threw her massive boomerang in Raku's direction. Raku raised his hand to strike Kaede first, but was stopped as Sango's boomerang rushed pass him, inches from his head. He turned around and glared at the demon hunter whose weapon was just returning to her.
"Are you ready to die?" Sango asked threw her poison mask.
"Wait. Sango." Miroku stumbled over to Sango and grabbed onto his prayer beads. "I'll use the wind tunnel on this poor excuse for a demon."
"No Miroku!" Sango put her hand in front of Miroku to stop him. "He has the same powers, and possesses the same demons as Naraku. If you use the wind tunnel, Naraku's poisonous insects are sure to appear."
No sooner had Sango said that, Naraku's insects appeared from nowhere.
"Damn!" Miroku muttered. 'But I won't just sit back and watch Sango fight!'
"Miroku! Listen to me! Your arm is wounded from Raku's attack. Find somewhere to recover, and I'll handle this beast."
"I won't just stand by and watch you fight Sango! I'm going to help you fight no matter what you say."
"So!" Raku yelled. "Which one is going to die first? The monk, or the hunter?"
Sango turned her attention back to Miroku.
"I'm ready whenever you are," Miroku said calmly, grasping his staff.
Sango chuckled. "I see Inuyasha's stubbornness has rubbed off of you."
"I guess so."
"SO! BOTH of you wish to die at the same time!"
"You're the one who's going to be dying today Raku!" Sango yelled.
Raku smirked. "We'll see about that."

Kind of cliffhanger. Well, it would have been longer, but I have basketball practice. Thank you SO much for the reviews! I got them while I was typing this chapter. I'll try and update chap 16 today when I get home! See ya! ^_^
