Disclaimer: Last time, Inu Yasha and I were escaping from the police and
hiding out in an old abandon warehouse. AH! Did I say that out loud?
*loudspeaker outside* THE JIG IS UP HS! WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED!
Last time: "We have to find Kagome." He said placidly. Sango nodded and mounted Kirara. Kouga readied himself to sprint but was taken back when blades of wind flew around the trio. For a second time she was knocked from her loyal companion. This time, drawing blood. Sango cried out in pain and grasped her shoulder. "I guess we're not going after Kagome just yet." She said and grimaced.

***Shippou***
Shippou was trying desperately not to cry to hard. The only companion he had had for nearly a week was dead and floating ghostly in the flooded out cave. She drifted back and forth in the current that was raging outside. Shippou bit his lip. He knew that he couldn't survive very long, for the magic tree leaf wasn't without limits. He looked around desperately for a way out. Then he looked at the rock blockading the entrance. He swam over to it and looked at the edges. 'Maybe I can chip away at the edges because of the waters.' He thought and grabbed a jagged rock. The biggest opening he could find was the size of a cherry pit, but he hammered into it as hard and fast as he could. He took away the rock and looked at what he'd done. He wasn't satisfied and figured he should try a new approach. He swam over to a stalactite and leaned against it. His train of thought left when a tress of silver hair moved into the cave from the cherry pit opening. He knew what it was but he couldn't put a finger on it. He swam over to the hair and rubbed it between his thumb and forefinger. 'THIS IS KAGOME'S HAIR!' Shippou thought gladly. He tugged at the hair to see if it was attached to a body. A small 'thunk' against the rocks told him that Kagome was there. He whirled around frantically looking for some way to get to her.
***Kagome***
In her unconscious state, Kagome's subconscious was taking her through her feelings and emotions. Inu Yasha was on her mind so her dreamscape took her to him.
She was her old self again; raven black hair and bright hazel eyes. She was in a dark room, (a/n: how cliché) and she was unable to move. She was on her knees with her hands cupped. Through the gloom, a brilliant burst of color appeared in front of her and flew into her hands. It was black again, only this time, she could move. She opened her hands to see a miniature Inu Yasha sitting in her palms doggy style. He looked up at her and blinked twice, as if he had never seen her before. His look of innocence soothed Kagome and she lifted a finger to stroke his hair. He smiled and cocked his head to the side, adding more innocence. (a/n: I WANNA MINI INU!!!) Her hair changed silver and her pupils popped into the light blue as she was before. Inu Yasha looked up at her and smiled. She blinked and he was out of her hands. She looked around for the inu hanyou as if she'd dropped him. Then, noticing she was on a soft and warm peach colored floor, she looked up to see a smiling Inu Yasha looking down at her. He wasn't a hanyou anymore, but a human. He mimicked her by stroking her silver hair. She smiled and lay down on his hand, feeling as though everything was right in the world. She shot up when she felt something wrong. She looked up at Inu Yasha's face and screamed in horror. His eyes were blood red and his cheeks were slashed with four purple marks. She squealed and got up to run, only to keep running in place. He was letting her run, but placed his hands in front of the other every time to keep her there. She finally gave up and stopped. She looked up to see Inu Yasha smirking and laughing under his breath.
"What's the matter Kagome? Scared?" he spoke and it stung Kagome like acid. She closed her eyes, knowing what was going to happen.
"INU YASHA PLEASE. NO!" she screamed but to no avail. He raised his free hand in the air and came down hard on her body, crushing her like a bug.
*thunk thunk thunk*
Kagome woke up with a start and began to breath in, only to find that she was still in the torrent of water pushing her against the mountian's base.
*thunk thunk thunk*
Kagome's hair was being tugged from behind and she grabbed the lock and pulled. From the hole came a small child's hand that swished back and fourth wildly. She pushed against the mountainside and crawled up vertically. Using her very last amount of strength, she reached to top and took a huge breath. She held her head and felt as though she was going to collapse when she remembered the child's hand.
***Sango and Kouga***
"Kagura! Leave us alone! We aren't in the mood for your mischief!" Sango shouted and limped over to her fallen hiraikotsu.
"We don't have the time for it either!" Kouga shouted, fisted balled and fangs bared.
"Well now, is that the way to treat someone who just saved the houshi's life?" Kagura spoke smoothly. Sango and Kouga's eyes were wide with shock.
"I don't believe you!" Sango said and readied her giant boomerang.
"Oh you don't then? Fine. By any means, you should go check on the battle that is enduring by the river. I didn't completely save his life, just got him out of the way of Inu Yasha for obvious reasons." She said and added a pause for affect. "His blood smells different, like those of a youkai, not that you should bother because you don't believe me. I will leave you alone now." Kagura said and floated out of sight.
"Do you think she was truthful?" Sango asked Kouga.
"Not a chance. Kagura wouldn't help Miroku." Kouga retorted. "There's no sense in not checking though."
***Inu Yasha and Miroku***
"CAN YOU SEE ANYTHING?" Inu Yasha cried out to Miroku. The wind just picked up and the raindrops were so hard and fast that they felt like bullets pelting their bodies. "MIROKU?!?" Inu Yasha barked and looked this way and that. His eyes widened when he smelt the scent of fresh blood piercing the moldy, damp air. He sprinted towards the direction of the smell. Getting no response from Miroku, he picked up his pace. A body was flung into him, causing him to fly backward.
"Is this who you're looking for Inu Yasha?" a serpentine voice called out through the mist.
"Kagura." Inu Yasha scowled and looked down at the carcass in his arms. Miroku, barely breathing, was bleeding all over Inu Yasha and was grasping his right wrist. He grimaced in pain and repetitively held his breath as though that would ease the pain. Inu Yasha looked into the fog or his opponent. "KAGURA! Show yourself you worthless excuse for a sorceress!" the dog demon bellowed. Kagura appeared out of the fog like a ghost from it's grave. She stepped down from her perch on her feather to right before Inu Yasha. Before Inu Yasha could react, Kagura took Miroku's had in hers and pulled the Tetsusaiga from it's sheath. She used his hand to throw it out into the woods and out of the sight of the travelers.
"Have fun you two!" Kagura said innocently and swooped away in the wind.
