Chapter 6, Lost friends
Kirara flew at top speed towards the mountain. Kagome knew it was futile: they'll never get to the mountain and back in time, or even find the vampire's blood. Besides, they probably have to face Hirako again.
"Sango, we cannot do this. We don't have time." Kagome said quietly.
"We have to! We cannot just let him die." Answered Sango.
"You have started to like him, don't you?" Asked Kagome.
"What?"
"You're so despair and angry because Miroku is dying. It's the sign that you care about him."
Sango sighed. "You're right. I thought I'd never care anyone like this after my family died, but..."
"Don't worry, it's just natural to care about somebody." Said Kagome, smiling.
Then they arrived to the top of the mountain. They stopped but didn't saw Hirako.
"He's behind those big rocks." Said Kagome.
"Better that he don't see us. Let's find the vampire's blood quickly." Answered Sango, and they landed. Suddenly they heard a strange scream. They turned and saw the vampire that had fought with Sango earlier. It wasn't completely dead yet, even though it had badly bleeding wounds.
"Great! Now we can have the blood and go back." Said Sango and walked nearer the vampire. It hissed and tried to hit her, but she stepped backwards.
"Kill it before you take the blood, or else it'll hit you." Said Kagome. So Sango killed the vampire with a knife, and then she took the blood to a small bottle.
"Now we can go back to the village." Sango said and put the bottle on her pocket.
Kagome looked towards the village. It was already evening and very dark because of the shadow on the sky.
'We cannot make it in time.' She thought as she climbed on Kirara's back. They started to fly back to the village, as quickly as they could. The sun was about to rise when they saw smoke floating from the direction of the village.
"What the heck is happened?" Asked Sango.
"The village! Somebody has attacked there!" Shouted Kagome in shock.
They flew closer and saw many of the houses burned and destroyed. There weren't any people.
"Oh no!" Yelled Sango as she saw Kaede's house burned. They landed and ran inside.
"Kaede! Is anybody here?" Asked Kagome.
"Here!" They heard a voice saying. They ran towards the direction of the voice and saw Kaede on the floor. She had a wound on her arm.
"What's happened here Kaede? Are you okay?" Asked Kagome.
"Hirako's bandits came and took everybody to the forest. I think they're heading to the mountain." Answered Kaede.
"Why would they want to go there?" Asked Kagome.
"I think they're going to give the people to Hirako... he needs something to eat too." Kaede answered.
"What? Is he going to EAT the people?" Asked Kagome.
"Yes. It's big meal enough." Answered Kaede.
"Why they didn't take you?" Asked Sango.
"Because I'm old and tired. They left all the aged here." Told Kaede.
"But... if they took Inuyasha and Miroku..." Started Sango.
Kaede nodded. "They have no hope anymore. I'm sorry girls..."
Tears started to flow from Kagome's eyes. She had lost Inuyasha.
"It cannot be true!" Yelled Sango, falling to her knees and crying uncontrollably.
"They're gone..." Mumbled Kagome, and her tears fell to the floor.
"N-no... NOOO!" Sango cried. Kaede could just watch them crying for their lost friends.

To SweetInuLover: This time I'll update two chapters... but I don't want to tell everything right away. Maybe I'll update more chapters at a time sometimes.
