Chapter 3: InuYasha never learns..

A/N: Im sooo sorry it took me so long to update! My comp got messed up and taken away from me….tear…but now I got it back!

Heres chapter three!

"InuYasha, Sit."

InuYasha plummeted towards the ground and let out a wonderful string of curses. When he recovered and sat up, he glared at Kagome. "What was that for!" he yelled.

"For Being rude." She said simply, walking away.

InuYasha gave her one last glare and stalked over to another tree.

'He's been doing that a lot lately.' Kagome thought to herself. She decided to brush the thought away for now and returned to the hut with Sango and Miroku.

"So do you guys want to go see if there are any rumours about the jewel?" Miroku asked.

Kagome shrugged and decided there was nothing else to do. She and Sango informed InuYasha. "Feh" was all he would reply.

They walked in the direction of the nearest village.


"Do you guys notice anything…different about InuYasha?" Kagome asked. Sango looked at her oddly.

"Um.. I guess a little, he seems to be much more reserved lately." She observed.

"Yes, he doesn't seem to be as jumpy or impatient as before.. he didn't even ask if he could come with us." Miroku stated.

They came to the top of the trail leading to the village. 'There is a creepy aura around here.' Kagome thought to herself. 'I can't quite pin point it, but its here..'

"An ominous aura." Mroku spoke her mind.

"Yes. It seems like a demon. A strong aura at that."

Kagome grabbed the bow and arrows slung over her back and placed them, ready to attack if anything should happen.

Sango did the same, preparing hiraikostsu as Kirara transformed.

'What could this be? Naraku's aura was barely this…' Sango thought. "it can't be, can it?" she asked herself.

"No. It's not Naraku. It…is stronger..." Miroku said, positioning his staff.

As soon as the ominous aura and miasma appeared..it was gone. No trace.

"How could it just…disappear?" Kagome asked in awe.

"I don't know..let's check houses to make sure everyone is all right." Sango said, keeping her weapon prepared.

Miroku walked up towards the headman and asked if there were any casualties that he knew of.

"No, but I am afraid we haven't checked all the houses yet." He coughed.

"Very well, we will help." Miroku volunteered. Sango and Kagome nodded as they started checking huts.


"Most didn't even notice a change." Sango said.

"What? That's odd." Miroku thought.

"You guys, we should get back, we've already been gone longer than we should have. Lets go. We'll ask InuYasha." Kagome said, seeing it must have already been at least an hour. "I'm sure he'll know something."


They returned to Kaede's hut and Kagome went to get InuYasha.

"InuYasha? Did you sense that aura?" She asked, seeing the hanyou looking back at her.

"Feh, it was a trickery aura, some small demons know how to create a trick miasma and aura. I'm not surprised you thought it was a real threat." InuYasha said boredly.

"How did you know that?

Kagome was confused. 'I have to ask him about that later.'

Kagome told Miroku and Sango of the small trickery aura that InuYasha explained to her.

"I believe I've heard of that before, but it's very rare, this is the first time I've ever encountered one." He said.

"Yes, we will have to keep a close eye on them." Sango said, sipping her tea.


(Newly re edited) sorry that was really short, but there was really nothing else I was able to put in there… .
