Chapter 9

The Fight

Kagome awoke sleepy and felt her pillow move. She was about to scream at first but then she saw it was Inuyasha in a deep sleep. She moved his arms slowly, she didn't want to awake him since he has been up all night. Once she was free she saw all the guards were asleep as well. She decided to make breakfast so she got some food from the carriage. She gathered some wood and then she snapped two rocks together to make a spark above the wood. She made a fire and put a pan over it. She decided to make eggs.

Inuyasha's nose smelled eggs and he awoke finding Kagome awake cooking breakfast. He rubbed his eyes and walked over to Kagome.

'Morning sleepy head' she said.

'Eh he said' not a morning person.

'Help yourself I need to wake the other guards then freshen up' she said getting up.

She woke up the guards then she got some clothes and went to a pond nearby. She removed her old clothes and stepped in the water washing herself. When she finished she got out, dried herself and then put on her clean clothes then headed back to camp. She found everyone full and ready to go.

'Ready to go' she said to the men.

'Ready Lady Kagome' as they loaded up and headed in the carriage.

Castle

Lady Higurashi awoke and found it really quiet. Too quiet. She looked at her daughter's old room and felt tears forming in her eyes. She held them back and went to see Sango and the others. She headed for Sango's room.

'Sango' she said but no response.

She went then to Miroku's room but he wasn't there nor responded.

She went to Rin and found no one there and no response.

She began to worry she looked around and asked servants if they have seen the 3.

All responded No. She had guards search around for them. They couldn't find them anywhere. Lady Higurashi was now worried. Then she remembered Souta and ran to his room. She found him at his room and she sighed happy he was there.

'Souta, hon do you know where Sango, Miroku, or Rin are' she said worried?

'No' he said sleepy.

'Ok go back to sleep' she ordered her son.

He soon fell asleep and she went out looking around for the 3. She couldn't find the 3 so she returned to her room and began to cry thinking the killer must have got them. But then she saw a letter on her table. She picked it up and read it.

Dear Your Majesty,

Please do not be mad when I tell you this. Don't worry about us either. Lady Sango, Lord Miroku, and I have gone out to seek for the princess. We fear she will need our help and are to make sure she reaches there safely. Please don't not be mad we will be fine. We will let you know when we reached there.

Sincerely Lady Rin, Lady Sango, and Lord Miroku

'Oh no' Lady Higurashi worried. She now had 5 people in risked of getting killed she began to cry. Souta came in sleepy.

'Mother why are you crying' he walked up to her.

'Because Sango, Miroku, and Rin went after kagome and Inuyasha now I'm risking 5 people getting hurt' she cried.

'Don't worry mother they'll be fine' Souta hugged her.

'I hope you're right' she said.

the 3 friends

'Miroku are reading the map right' Sango said annoyed.

'Yes I am now stop whining it's that way'…'I think' he said.

'Argh…men' Sango said pissed off and snatched the map off Miroku's hands.

'Hey' he whined 'that hurt '

'Good that's for getting us lost and for trusting you with it'. 'I should have known you cant read a map' she stuck her tongue.

Rin looked at the map wit Sango. 'We need to go west past that forest' she said. 'By the looks of it we're going the right way Kagome was here.'

'So she set camp right so they a couple hours a head of us' said Rin.

They rode off not wasting anymore time.

Kagome & Inuyasha

'Inuyasha come on I'm bored' said Kagome.

'I said NO Kagome now leave me alone.'

'Please' she gave her best puppy eyes.

'What does the words No don't you understand' he shouted.

'It means nothing to me now let me do your hair' she whined like a 5 year old.

'KAGOME I SAID NO AND THAT'S FINAL' inuyasha shouted.

'Fine be like that' she pouted and crossed her arms.

'It's your fault you didn't pack anything to entertain yourself'

'It's not my fault that it takes this long to get to a kingdom' she said.

This gone on for 30 min til they something attacked them.

'Lady Kagome stay inside' said a guard while the others try to find what attacked them.

Inuyasha jumped out to the roof and found an arrow wit a letter on it. Inuyasha went back inside and opened it then read the letter. He gasped and put the letter away.

'Inuyasha what's that' Kagome looked suspiciously.

'Nothing' he hid the letter. I don't want her to get worried he thought.

'You're lying let me see'

'I have nothing'

'LET ME SEE' she screamed.

Inuyasha held the letter in one hand but he had to cover both of his ears from Kagome's yelling. Kagome saw the letter and snatched it away.

'Kagome NO!'

Kagome opened the letter and read it. She her jaw dropped and was about to cry.

I'm closer than you think. Don't think that you run away from me now. But don't worry I'll get you my dear.

'He knows where I am Kagome' began to cry.

'Don't worry Lady Kagome we'll prote…an arrow hit a guard before he could finish.

'OMG HE'S OUT TO GET ME' she screamed.

Arrows flew out of nowhere hitting some guards. One of them hit the driver and the horses went wild.

'Kagome stay inside' said Inuyasha as he went to control the horses.

He had the horse ran faster so they could dodge the arrows. They headed into the forest to blend in avoiding any arrows. Kagome breathed hard and fast she frightened she was gonna die.

'Kagome are you alright' Inuyasha said.

'Does it look like I'm alright' she screamed

'Relax it's gonna be ok' he said

'How can I when I'm about to die' she cried

'How's panicking and crying going to help he said calm and smoothly.

'inuyasha I'm scared, I'm so scared' she held onto him

'it's ok we'll get through wit this' he said calmly.
