Chapter 4

Shippo watched as InuYasha ran off to find Kikyo, the one person he thought he would never have to hurt, but he had to avenge Kagome! Shippo checked Kagome, trying to figure out how to heal her.

"hmm..." Shippo thought aloud, "It seems that Kikyo hit her in four places: her side, her hand, her shoulder and her knee. Owe! I'm sorry Kagome that must be some pain you're going through! Well, anyway... Songo: watch Kagome; make sure she doesn't get any worse! Miroku: guard them, make sure that Kikyo doesn't come back and finish the job. I'll be in the forest looking for some herbs."

Songo nodded her head.

"I will guard them with my life!" Miroku said with a sly smile, "I'd rather die than let either of them get hurt!"

"Oh great," Songo thought, "Kagome's unconscious, which means that me and Miroku are pretty much alone, argh!"

Shippo left in a hurry to find the right herb.

"So," Miroku said, his grin getting even bigger, "I guess this means we're pretty much alone."

"No you aren't," a crackly voice from Kagome's direction said, "I'm here, remember?"

"You're awake?!" Miroku and Songo said together.

"Thank goodness!" Songo thought, "Now Miroku won't do anything stupid!"

"You're welcome Songo," Kagome thought, "Is InuYasha avenging me? Will I die? Will InuYasha die? I guess I won't know for a while."

Shippo's eyes darted from one herb to another, but he could not find the right one!

"This is hopeless!" Shippo said in an aggravated voice, "no, I can't give up, Kagome is depending on me!"

Songo watched Kagome trying to see if she was getting any better or worse, but could not tell.

"Songo?" Kagome whispered.

"Yes?"

"Can you get Shippo to go get InuYasha for me, I need to talk to him!"

"When he gets back, Kagome." Songo whispered, "When he gets back."

"Songo!" Miroku yelled, "There's a demond behind you! DUCK!"

Songo ducked to feel a breeze above her back.

"You messed with the wrong humans," Miroku yelled and tore off his hand covering, damaging Anix the demond crusher, only to see that he had friends.

"SHIPPO!" Songo yelled, "GET YOUR TAIL OVER HERE NOW!"

Shippo came running to her side, "what? DEMONDS! AHHHHH!"

Songo grabbed Shippo's tail before he could run off.

"Wan'na help?" she asked sarcastically, "Guard Kagome, we can handle them for now!"

"Wooh!" Shippo thought, "Thank goodness! The only demonds I'll be fighting will be injured!"
