Chapter 4

Last time:

He turned silently and watched as a dark figure walked off into the forest.

The moonlight hit the figure.

Kagome.

This time:

Kagome had felt a strong energy in the forest.

Being a protector of this village it was her duty to see what it was. Sighing she got up and walked outside, in the direction of the energy.

' Just my luck,' she thought, ' it had to be right by the inn where THEY are staying.'

She made her way into the forest, never noticing Inuyasha in the tree.

Inuyasha was curious as to what the strong energy was as well. But he was more so as to why Kagome was headed out to it as well, by herself might he add.

He followed her silently, making sure he never made a sound and she never left his sight.

They entered, separately, a large clearing, separately. In it sat a large tiger demon.

"Demon," Kagome began, " What business have you here in this small village?"

The demon responded, " I have come in search of the shards of the Shikon jewel. You are the miko that posses them?"

" Yes. But I'm afraid that I can not give them to you. Please leave now."

" I'm afraid I can't. My master sent me to retrieve the jewel shards. I will not fail him," the demon said as he charged Kagome.

Inuyasha was about to jump from the tree to save her, when he heard the thud of a solid object landing in the tiger demon's body. Then there was a bright light. When it subsided only Kagome stood in the clearing.

Kagome looked down on the ground. There lay three shards. She picked them up and they were purified.

She plopped down onto the ground. Then, she took out the fragments around her neck. There was about a half of the jewel left to go and then it was done.

The only people with any shards now were Naraku, Kagome and Kikyo, the inu gang had gotten Koga's.

Suddenly Inuyasha jumped from his tree.

" Kagome…"

End chapter

Man do I have a thing for ending chapters on the word Kagome or what?!

Anywho, I know that they are incredably short, but
