Chapter Two: Warning

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed once more, after narrowly escaping a swipe from the demon.

"WINDSCAR!" Yelled Inuyasha. He had just reached them, with an unsheathed Tessaiga. The blast from the Tessaiga sent the demon flying through the trees.

But just as Inuyasha started to sheath his sword, the demon came back. It hit him like a ton of bricks, and also left a ten foot deep crater in the ground.

"Oh no…" Kagome started to walk towards where Inuyasha was, but the demon got in front of her.

"Time will tell your fait." The demon said in a cold, raspy voice. Before Kagome could answer, Inuyasha yelled.

"Kagome! Move!" Inuyasha was right behind the demon, with the Tessaiga. "WINDSCAR!" He yelled again. The blast hit the demon right in the back, and immediately killed it.

Kagome just stood to the side, staring at the corpse of the demon, with Shippou still in her arms. She looked up when Inuyasha came over.

"Are you alright?" Inuyasha asked. "And what the hell was that all about?"

Kagome only shook her head. Just then, Sango, Kirara, and Miroku burst through the trees.

"You're too late." Said Inuyasha, with annoyance in his voice. Miroku frowned, but Sango walked over to Kagome, and looked her over to wounds.

"Sango, it's alright. I'm fine!" Kagome said. Her voice was a little shaky. When Sango gave her a concerned look, she added, "Really, I'm fine!"

They group walked back to the village, where Kaede greeted them.

"What happened?" She asked.

Inuyasha explained to Kaede what had happened, with Kagome's help. Shippou was too shaken up to say anything.

"Well, I'm glad you're all alright." Kaede exclaimed. "That's odd what the demon said to you, Kagome. I believe that you all need to watch your backs a little more from now on."

They all nodded, and went into Kaede's hut. Food was already made, and they all stared to dig in, occasionally chatting about the latest jewel finds and what not.

When they all said their "Good Night's", Sango, Kagome, and Shippou went into a separate hut, while Inuyasha, Miroku, and Kirara went in another. Later, Inuyasha and Kirara went out to walk around the outskirts of the village, looking for any other demons.

While walking, Inuyasha thought about what the demon had said to Kagome. 'It can't be anything that could kill her. Or could it?' he thought. 'Time will tell your fate. I wonder if it's something that has to do with the past, maybe even the future.'

After a while, the sun started to rise. Inuyasha sat on a hill above the village and watched it. Kirara had already retired into one of the huts. The village started to slowly awaken, and it's normal everyday activities started. Inuyasha watched some of the village farmers start to work on their fields, and some of the children ran around.

When the sun was above the hills all the way, Inuyasha started down towards where his friends were. He reached the huts, and found Kagome and Sango gone.

'Must be at the hot spring..' he though. Then, he had to look for Miroku. Anyone could guess he was up to no good; since the girls were at the hot spring. Suddenly, Inuyasha caught a glimpse of Miroku, sneaking towards the hot spring. He jumped over, and grabbed the lecherous monk by the collar of his kimono.

"Hey! I wasn't going to do anything!" Miroku exclaimed as Inuyasha dragged him back to the village.

"Yeah, right, and I suppose you were just taking a walk?" Inuyasha said flatly. At this, Miroku shut up. When he tried to make another excuse, Inuyasha dropped him in the dirt.

"Hey!" Miroku said, rubbing his back. As a reply, Inuyasha grunted.

When the girls returned, Inuyasha and Miroku where eating. Kagome watched them for a moment, and then left the hut to go find Kaede. Sango sat with Inuyasha and Miroku, and ate as well.

Once Kagome found Kaede, she asked if there was anything she could do to help. Kaede gave her a job of sharpening arrows. It wasn't the best, but it kept her busy.

Author's Note: Sorry these chapter's aren't as long as they could be. (Longest chapter I've ever written was 8 pages long on Microsoft Word.) I'm trying, lol.
