Disclaimer: Yeah... well... I don't own InuYasha... -mutters- for now...

A/N: Soooo sorry for taking sooo long to update! I've been reeaaly busy and I have a bad habit of forgetting things... heh-heh

With an evil grin the girl opened the bottle and put a small amount on her hand, her lips blowing softly on the dust, making it fly everywhere into the other room.

InuYasha looked around, the dust pouring into the room, making it hard to see as though it were smoke. "Kagome cover your mouth." He warned, putting the sleeve of his hiori over his mouth.

Kagome nodded, covering her mouth with her hands, she started coughing as it got harder to breathe.

"What in all the hells is going on?" InuYasha scowled, looking around for what happened. But he wasn't going to waste time; he could already hear Kagome coughing.

Sango sighed, picking up a bucket of water and Miroku picking up one as well as they both started back to the hut.

"Hey Sango?

"Yes?"

"Why… why didn't you slap me… back there?"

"I-I was tired, I didn't feel like wasting my energy on you. And besides it's not like it teaches you anything…" Sango muttered, looking away from Miroku so he wouldn't notice a faint blush on her face.

Miroku grinned "Alright…" He said.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, my dear Sango"

"Would you stop calling me that?"

"But then what can I call you?

"Sango… my name"

Miroku sighed "If I must." He said, grinning. His arm wrapped around Sango's shoulders.

Sango blushed, but she didn't slap the monk, at least his hand wasn't on her butt this time.

Miroku looked at Sango curiously, surprised that she hadn't slapped him yet. But he wasn't complaining, he sighed and made sure to keep his hands from her butt.

Sango gasped "Miroku the hut!" She said, looking over at the hut she saw that there was a white smoke, or dust coming from the windows.

Miroku nodded, running forward to see what was going on. He ran to the door and tried to open it.

"Damn it! It's locked!" Sango growled, trying to open the door as well.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

InuYasha was starting to cough now, he could hear Sango and Miroku on the other side of the door and knew it was locked.

"Shit…." He growled, his vision starting to blur. "Back away from the door!" He shouted, hoping that Sango and Miroku would hear.

He unsheathed the Tetsusaiga and easily knocked the door down.

"Kagome? Kagome!" He called, looking around for her in the dust. He saw her and realized that she had passed out. Picking up the unconscious miko he ran out of the hut.

Sango ran over to them "What's going on?" She asked, guessing that the dust was some form of poison.

"I don't know, Kagome and I were talking and the room started to fill up with the dust." InuYasha said, looking at the miko in his arms before looking back at Miroku and Sango.

Kagome coughed and shook her head, feeling very dizzy "What's going on?" She asked, looking around at everyone.

InuYasha smiled, glad Kagome was alright, or at least conscious now.

Miroku looked back at the hut and saw that the smoke was starting to disappear.

Sango grabbed her Hiraikotsu and started over towards the hut, followed by Miroku who was carrying his staff and InuYasha who had a secure hand on the hilt of the Tetsusaiga.

Kagome got up as well, heading over to the hut as the smoke cleared out.

InuYasha started into the hut, looking around and waving a hand to get some of the smoke away from him as it started to clear up now.

Kitaro bit her lip, looking at the group that had started to walk into the hut. She grinned, getting a sudden idea. She ran into one of the far rooms, and took the small packet of powder out of her pocket.

She was used to it and it wouldn't poison her, she blew it around the room and soon it was full of dust. She coughed and screamed for help.

Kagome turned, hearing the scream "It's Kitami, I'll go find her." She said, looking at the others and not waiting for an answer before heading down the hall.

"I'll go look down the other end." Miroku said, pointing down another hallway.

"I'll go with you." Sango said, starting down the hallway and Miroku grinned, gladly following after her.

InuYasha felt uneasy now, he wasn't going to leave Kagome alone though. He started down the hallway after her.

Kagome walked in through the door, the powder (A/N: Ok from now on it's going to be dust, I know I've been switching between powder, smoke, and dust but it is now going to be powder) spreading everywhere.

"Kitaro?" She called, looking around.

Kitaro seized the moment to shut the door with a loud snap. It was incredibly hard to see through everything and she doubted Kagome would be able to find her or the door.

Kagome turned around; she had to cover her mouth with her sleeve now as she started to cough. "What's going on?" She asked, looking around.

The powder started to clear up and Kagome bit back a gasp when she saw the girl in front of her. She had a few of the same features as Kitaro, but everything was wrong. She no longer looked little but had grown to Kagome's height; she had two stripes across her cheeks and a menacing smiled that leered on her face.

"What's going on?" Kagome asked again, glaring at the girl that had once pretended to be Kitaro. 'Oh no… I don't have my arrows!' She thought nervously, but remained impassive to show worry.

Kitaro smiled "I want your miko powers…" She growled, cracking her fingers and showing off her long claws as she smiled wickedly at the girl before her.

You KNOW your obsessed with InuYasha when:
