INUYASHA NOW

SANGO'S DEATH

PART 1

Wow, Inuyasha got his rear end kicked in that chapter of the story. I guess he'll want to kill X now, I mean wouldn't you? Well I'll stop talking now and let you get on with the story.

It was about mid-day and Inuyasha still hadn't returned from the woods. Kagome and the others were starting to get worried but thought to themselves its Inuyasha he knows what he's doing. But the whole time Kagome sat under a tree crying.

"What's wrong?" Miroku asked.

As Miroku asked his hand ran down Kagome's back down to her well you know. Just as he got there Kagome picked up a rock and smashed it into the side of his head knocking him unconscious.

"Where is Inuyasha? I need to talk to him." Kagome asked.

"He still hasn't returned he may still be hunting that guy who pushed you down." Shippou said nervously.

The group planned to wait one more day for Inuyasha to return before going in after him. Kagome made it about three hours before she was fed up with waiting. Kagome, alone, walked into the woods leaving the rest of her party behind.

Mean-while in a clearing in the center of the forest Inuyasha lay on the ground bleeding from wounds he had received from X's sword. Since X left Inuyasha he had been unconscious, but he had just woken up and was in horrible pain. He crawled for about ten feet before he collapsed again. He looked up and saw a stick about the right size to help prop him up. Inuyasha picked up the stick and stood leaning on it. He was still in pain but he knew he had to make it back to the others. Inuyasha walked back the way he had entered leaving the clearing with nothing but a pool of his blood.

"What a story this will be." Inuyasha laughed to himself coughing up blood.

X ran across the tree tops until he cleared the forest. When he jumped down out of the trees Naraku was waiting.

"What do you want?" X asked at about a whisper.

"That jewel you hold in your hand." Naraku stated.

X looked down at the jewel and laughed.

"You want this? What do you plan to do with it?" X asked

"That is none of your concern boy." Naraku said annoyed.

"Well not right now I know a little boy who could use this for a better use." X said running off passed Naraku.

"No… damn well no need to worry I'll get it yet." Naraku said in annoyance.

Kagome was running along the same path that brought Inuyasha into the woods when she heard something move. She stood on the path for a minute then heard the sound again. She pulled out her bow knowing it will be useless at this distance. She waited for another minute then took a step forward and out of a tree fell Rin. Kagome ran forward and caught Rin. As Kagome cradled Rin she noticed an X cut into the shoulder of her right arm.

"Are you ok?" Kagome said.

"…"Rin said nothing.

Rin wasn't dead Kagome could hear her breathing. Kagome was just about to head back to everyone else when Inuyasha popped out from behind a tree still propped up on his stick. Inuyasha, Kagome, and the unconscious Rin all went back to camp. Everyone was worried about Rin but wanted to hear about what happened to Inuyasha to get him that injured. Inuyasha told his story and everyone's face went white.

"Someone is stronger than you?" Shippou asked.

"No… he just caught me off guard." Inuyasha coughed.

"Well what do we do now?" Sango asked as dark thunder clouds rolled over head.
