Miroku however was unable to sleep. He was thinking about Sango, he loved her so much but didn't know if making such a sudden move was a good idea or not.

Why did I have to kiss her? He thought to himself.

Suddenly he heard a small buzzing near the window above the bed. He thought nothing of it at first. Probably just a fly he thought and he settled back into his thoughts about Sango.

Then the buzzing started again only much louder. Maybe I should just check to make sure nothing weird is going on out there... He got up and walked to the window. Peering out he didn't see anything but he heard the buzzing so much louder than it had been before. The without warning a flock of Naraku's poisonous insects flew out of the trees.

Miroku gasped and ran into the room where the others were staying. He shook each of them "Wake up eveyone! Hurry!" He said in a would be calm voice.

Inuyasha opened one amber eye and looked at the worried monk. "What are you going on about?"

"Naraku's poisonous insects are coming! Right now! They're pretty much at the door!"

Inuyasha jumped up at once. He woke Kagome and Shippo as Miroku woke Sango and Kilala.

Kagome rubbed her eyes. "Inuyasha, what in the hell did you wake me for?" She snapped.

"Calm down, Naraku's poisonous insects are right outside!" Inuyasha said looking into her dark brown eyes.

Kagome nodded and got very serious after he had said that.

They ran outside, the insects were rushing towards them. Inuyasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga

preparing to strike. Miroku grabbed onto his hand and waited for the right moment. The insects drew closer but they stood their ground. Then the most unimaginable thing happened.....

They flew right past them. They didn't stop to harm them or anything they just flew away.

"Whoa... What was up with that?" Kagome said walking closer to Inuyasha.

"Shh..." He said growling.

"Why?"

"It's not over they were scared, I could smell it, there's something evil coming our way..."

Kagome gasped. "How strong is it Inuyasha?"

"Very strong... Not as strong as Naraku but it's close..."

Kagome stopped. "I sense jewel shards... At least 3 of them..."

Inuyasha turned to her, "Are you sure? Where are they?"

"There," she said pointing to the forest. "They're coming closer... it's inside something."

Miroku took the prayer beads off his hand. "Wind Tunnel!" The trees lifter from the ground and they saw her. Walking towards them, a glint of evil in her eyes... But who was it?

(A/N- DA DA DA! I would stop here but you would kill me! Anyways.. Off I go...)

She was tall and thin, dressed in a baby blue Kimono with stains of what looked like blood. He hair was raven black and straight down to her lower back. Her eyes were yellow like Inuyasha's only she had cats ears and tail. Her hands were grasped around a sword, fresh with blood. On her face she wore a demonic smile. And then she spoke...

"I look for the half-breed Inuyasha!" Her voice was cool and cruel.

"What do you want with me wench?!" He asked angrily.

"You have something I want"

"What's that?"

"I want the sacred Shikon Jewel!" She said walking towards him.

"And you really thought you'd be getting it without a fight?" He said smirking.

"Do not condemn yourself to death young hanyou!"

"I will not be the one to die!" He said taking off to hit her with the sword.

She moved so fast that he couldn't see it. "I warned you!" She swiped at him with her sword. It caught him in the arm, (but nothing serious.) He cried out in pain blood spilling from his arm. Kagome and Sango screamed.

"Now if I had wanted to I could have cut you right in half, do not doubt my power young demon."

"Who the hell are you?!" He screamed

"Me? Why would it matter to you?"

"If I am to die I would like to know the name of my killer!"

"I will not kill you unless it is necessary... But my name is Miranko, the demon of the East. I have traveled far to get what I want, and I come to find that the jewel is shattered... No I was not happy with this... So far I have found 3 shards... But that is nothing compared to the amount you have found!"

"And you will not get it from us! Go back to the East demon!"

"How dare you talk to me in such an insolent tone?!"

"How dare you come to our country in the middle of the night and attack me?"

"You are disrespectful to your elders! You need to be taught a lesson indeed! How about I cut off one of your precious ears? I've heard a rabbits foot brings good luck what about a dogs ear?" She said mocking him.

"You ugly witch!" He said lunging again. She moved yet again but this time she did not strike him.

She stopped and noticed the rest of them. "Who are these people?" She asked.

"None of your concern!"

"No?! Are these humans?!" She shrieked. "You stay in the company of humans?! You are lower than I thought!" She slapped him hard in the face and spat on the ground in front of him.

"What is it any business of yours what company I keep! You're not my mother don't tell me what to do!" He said staring her straight in the face.

"How dare you look at me after the crimes you have committed!"

"WHAT CRIMES?!?!" He screamed not knowing what she was talking about.

"Keeping the company of humans and caring for one such as you do!"

Kagome gasped. Could he possibly care about me? Is that what she's talking about?

"Kagome where are the jewel shards?" Inuyasha said turning to her.

"In her right ankle. She put them somewhere hard to get to."

"Not hard for me!" He said lunging once again at her ankle, but she was to fast to hit.

"Kagome what can I do?! She's to fast to hit!"

"Why do you think she put them in her ankle?!" She said in an exasperated voice.

Inuyasha glared at her.

"Sorry..."

Miroku unwrapped the prayer beads once again. "WIND TUNNEL!" He screamed.

Miranko started to move towards the black hole in Miroku's hand. She stuck her sword in the ground to stop herself. Inuyasha took control of the situation at hand. He lunged once more in a last chance to get her ankle. Miranko screeched. He hit her. She was pulled into Miroku's hand but her last words before she was gone were...

"No crime goes unpaid for..."
