InuYasha: Is that all?

Shel: Yep!

InuYasha: Phew. I'm alive…and I got out of this one un-humiliated…something is wrong with you then, eh?

Shel: Nope I'm fine. I'm not sick anymore and I feel 100 percent! Why?

InuYasha: heh…creepy…

Shel: You're the one that's creepy… "Unhumiliated, eh?"

InuYasha: Well now you're just making fun of me.

Shel: I always make fun of me.

InuYasha: …sure.

Shel: Idiot. On to the chapter!

Kagome was the first to make it to the clearing. There was dying fire where they had all camped and most of the stuff was still there. But where were Sango and Miroku? Kirara came up from behind her and growled. "What happened Kirara?" Kagome asked half expecting an answer.

There was an unsettling eeriness around the camp. An unexplained aura of something. Like Naraku has been here. "Then where did he go?"

Out of breath, Shippo made it to the clearing, InuYasha close behind him. "W-w-where are they?" Shippo asked between breaths. Kagome didn't answer him but noticed that Sango's Hiraikotsu was gone. "They left I guess." So what's that feeling of death? Like someone's around here and their dead…

"Thought so."

Kagome jumped at InuYasha's voice. She looked over her shoulder to see him standing there arms crossed staring back at her. "What do you mean you thought so?"

"Naraku killed Kagura at the same spot yesterday." InuYasha explained. "But that's not it…something else was here."

Shippo gulped. "Like what? What was here?" Kagome pulled Shippo off her shoulder. He was shaking so bad he had started to tug at the miko's hair. "What do you smell InuYasha?"

"Blood. Human blood. Whatever attacked here didn't go easy on Sango and Miroku." InuYasha replied slight worry in his tone. But Shippo's had exaggerated worry. "So where are they! Are they dead!"

"I don't think so. Sango's weapon is gone so that means they must have left." "But why is Kirara here then! Something did happen didn't it!" "Dammit Shippo, I have no clue! I can't answer everything!"

Kagome lifted the small neko youkai unto her arms. "Maybe Sango sent Kirara to look for us. WE have been gone a long time." InuYasha shot her a look that told her she was wrong. "You have been gone about a day. Shippo and I left only a while ago."

Kagome shook her head at him and gave him a look back that clearly said 'don't even bring this up right now'. Shippo looked from Kagome to InuYasha clearly confused.

Kirara meowed happily and leapt out of Kagome's arms, transforming into her bigger youkai form. Kirara glanced at Kagome then took off into the woods. Kagome without a word followed her.

Shippo looked up at InuYasha. "We're gonna follow them, right InuYasha?" "Well do we have a choice?" "Guess not." The two took after Kagome and Kirara when the woods ended and Kirara and Kagome weren't in sight. "Where did they—?"

Out of nowhere, Kirara swooped down and without them even realizing it, tossed InuYasha and Shippo on her back. Kagome scratched Kirara's head. "Good kitty." Kagome gave a gloomy glance over her shoulder at a very startled fluffed up Shippo and an even more startled hanyou.

"Bad…dog…" Kagome had to try her very hardest to keep a straight face when she said it. InuYasha had his arms wrapped around her waist and he was shaking. "Calm down, you're freaking out over nothing." InuYasha shook his head quickly. "No…you weren't tossed up into the air." Shippo was clinging onto Kirara's tail. "That's right! So no yelling Kagome!"

Kagome rolled her eyes and sighed. "This is serious—seriously InuYasha, I can't breathe!" InuYasha released Kagome and crossed his arms across his chest a bit embarrassed. "Kirara knows where they are so why worry?"

Kagome looked ahead and squinted her eyes as the rushing wind came to meet her. "There are things I need to worry about InuYasha. This is one of them…along with three other things."

Sango threw back another youkai archer with her Hiraikotsu. "What are these things?"

Standing before her and Miroku where six incredible ugly and scaly lizard like demons that were extremely good archers. They wore simple village kimonos with a leather quiver over their right shoulder. They had a lion like tail and two huge horns from their scaly foreheads. Besides those features and their slouched over forms, they seemed like a regular human…almost.

Miroku was fending off another one with his staff. The youkai had been trying to hit him with the long oak bow it held in its scaly hand. Finally Miroku managed to overthrow the youkai and it tumbled to the ground. He had suffered a large gash in his left arm from his shoulder to his elbow form when they were ambushed. "I don't know and I don't care. I hope Kagome and InuYasha find us soon though."

Sango nodded her head in agreement. "Or Kirara finds them. We would be farther along with theses youkai if they were here." Then she silently prayed that Kagome was even alive.

Naraku tossed the now tow shards lighter sacred jewel up and down in his hand with Kanna in a corner watching him. "You killed Kagura…" She said coldly with a tint of dark. It was still the same empty tone however, despite the dark emotion.

Naraku simply chuckled. "She defied me, her death was unavoidable. On another hand, a shard still resides in that girl, Yumi and also one in our dear Kagome. With those two mikos, we should be unstoppable. Not to forget that your brothers are out there." Naraku was referring to the lizard-like archers. He had created them using the blood of a snake demon, a bull demon, and just a little but of the residing blood from in the room where his last failed reincarnate had burst out of Kagome leaving her blood behind. With Kagome's blood, they had a bit of her skill for archery.

"Now what to do with the two girls? Should I kill them both, rendering all of her friends helpless? Or should I turn them against their friends and use both of them to defeat them? Decisions, decisions, decisions." Naraku looked up thoughtfully as he clasped the jewel tightly in his hand. "Or…I could simply have Kagome kill Yumi. Doing so, she will most likely kill herself. Or if Yumi was to kill Kagome, she would likely to die also…by Kagome's friends, or InuYasha."

Naraku looked even more thoughtful as Kanna watched him wishing he would burn up right there in front of her. She half smiled at that thought. Naraku eyes her suspiciously but turned his attention back to the jewel. "I have Yumi cause Kagome pain and suffering. Then, when they find me, I will kill Kagome then taking Yumi's shard. Yumi will feel guilt, and will die." Naraku laughed sinisterly. It was a well thought plan but Kanna sighed weakly wishing he would shut up.

"Master Naraku, how will you know they will have such reactions?" The young girl replied to Naraku's snickering. The hanyou again looked up at her and sneered. "Do not worry, Kanna. With the jewel shards in both of them, they will have what ever emotions or reactions I wish."
