Authors Beginning Note: Okay-dokay, so wussup, hows you all been doing since I last wrote? Well anyways, on with the important stuff. Oh, by the way, get a bowl of popcorn, candy bars, and a large pop, because this is going to be a long chapter to make up for all of the short chapters I have written, that and I know you all want more now, so I guess, just this once (well, I might do it a few more times) I'll make it a longer than usual chapter.
Chapter 12
Only One Shot
Shippo ran as fast as he could through the forest, at a speed he never knew he possessed. He dodged trees, and didn't even trip over any loose tree roots. He ran at a speed that made Kouga and Inuyasha put together look slower than dripping honey.
Maybe it's the jewel? I'll ask later, but I have to reach.
He ran even faster. Zipping through the trees. Tears were running down his cheeks, as the wind whipped his face. He stopped, finally, making two days worth of journeying in a few moments, then jumped through.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
Meanwhile, at the movies, Kagome and Hojo were in the movie theater, sitting next to each other in the back row.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.I mean, I like Hojo and all, but.never mind, I'm not going to go through with this with myself again.maybe it will get better.maybe, given time, I will love him like.
"So, do you like the movie so far?" whispered Hojo. Kagome snapped out of her thoughts.
"Yah, I'm glad I got to see it." Kagome smiled a big smile, at least for Hojo's sake.
"Are you hungry? Cause If you are I could buy you some pop corn or."
"No, I'm just fine thank you." Said Kagome sweetly.
"Are you sure?" Hojo leaned closer.
"Yes, I'm sure." Hojo leaned back into his seat.
Poor Hojo, maybe I should have let him buy a little thing of candy, or something, but I really don't want anything. Erg, why does he have to make me feel so guilty? Inuya.Kagome stop thinking about him! You have to move on, you can't go back, you have no shards, he's not coming to get you, because your not.no, I can't think that way, or I'll start crying again.
"Kagome, are you all right? You look like you're about to cry. Is it something I said? Did I do anything wrong? Have I offended you in any way?" Kagome sighed inwardly.
"No Hojo, I just had something in my eye. You didn't do anything wrong." Kagome smiled at him, hoping that it would convince Hojo other wise. He smiled back, convinced that Kagome was happy, and that he didn't do anything wrong. Kagome sighed inwardly again. They didn't say another word to each other for a while.
"Kagome!" Came a small voice that echoed through the theater. Kagome turned her head to the side of the theater where the stairs were located and saw a puffball.
"Huh? Shippo?" Kagome mentally kicked herself.
Of course it's not Shippo, he can't be here, how would he have been able to find me? Besides, he doesn't have any shards, how could he.
Just then a tiny fur ball landed in her lap. Kagome gasped in surprise and Hojo looked shocked at this new intruder.
"Kagome, who is this?" Kagome smiled, the closest thing to a genuine smile she had ever smiled the past weeks. Hojo fortunately couldn't see the small minor details that marked Shippo, as a demon in the dark lighting, for that Kagome was happy, since she would have had to have done a lot of explaining otherwise.
"Hojo, this is Shippo, He.uh.I.um"
"Kagome, we don't have time! Everyone is in trouble! Inuyasha is unconscious and really hurt, and Sango tried to fight her and.." Shippo broke down in sobs.
"Oh no." Kagome said, her smile disappearing. She sat there, stunned.
"Kagome, what is it? What's wrong?" Kagome turned toward Hojo, who wore a very concerned and scared face.
"Hojo. I have to go, my.um.aunt, is in trouble. I'm really sorry, but I have to go." Said Kagome, getting up to leave.
"Kagome, is there anything I can do?"
"No, I have to go, I'm really sorry." Kagome said and left Hojo standing in the middle of the theater alone, with people staring at him. After a few moments, he sighed and left to.
"Shippo, how did you find me, I mean.how did you even come here? And what about the others? You said?" Kagome was brimming with questions. Shippo was clinging to Kagome, as she ran with him.
"It was Naraku.he.he.sent this one lady called.Audra..and she." Shippo said between sobs. Kagome flung open the house door and raced through the house.
"Oh hi honey, back so soon? I thought."
"No time to talk mom, I have to go back."
"Back where?" yelled her mom up the stairs after Kagome. Souta came out form the living room.
"Man, I didn't think that, Hojo would be able to scare Kagome so badly. What do you think he did?" Mrs. Higurashi gave Souta a reprimanding look.
"What's all of this noise I hear?"
"Kagome's going back." Her mom said to an old man, who was nearly bald, and had just appeared out of nowhere.
Then Kagome came running out of her room, dressed in the old ragged school uniform she usually wore when going to Sengoku Judai. She had her bow in one hand, the big red ball of red fur that was Shippo on her one shoulder, and her arrows slung on her other shoulder.
"Kagome, you look like the hounds of Hates are after you."
"I'm going back to the Feudal Era, they need my help. By mama, by Souta, by Grampa." She yelled pushing past them and out the door she flew.
"That girl. Some things never change."
"So Souta, what do you think ails Kagome now?" asked her grandpa with a twinkle in his eyes. Souta and Mrs. Higurashi looked at each other, and shook their heads, leaving the room, with the old man behind.
"What? What did I say?"
"Shippo, now calmly, tell my what happened. Naraku sent a lady named Audra, so is she human?"
"No, she's a full Yukai demon. We were just minding our own business when this storm came and she appeared when the lightning struck the ground.then she started demanding for the shards.and she." The poor little Kitsune started sobbing again.
"Shippo, you have to clam down. I need to know what happened." Said Kagome jumping through the well. She climbed out, onto the other side, now into a completely different time Era. She looked around her.
"Which way?" Shippo looked around him and cried.
"I can't.re.mem..ber." He said sobbing again. Kagome snapped her head to the right.
"There are ten shards. All in one place! But, They're so far away." she said. She took off running in that direction, with Shippo still on her shoulder.
"Shippo, how far is it form here to there? It couldn't be that far if you reached me in the amount of time you told me you did in my room."
"It's two days walk. I ran. I think.I think it was the shard." Shippo said confused and scared. Kagome let out a sob.
"I can't run that far. Wait." Kagome stopped and looked to her left. "There are two Shards not to far.I wonder if."
"What Kagome?"
"KOOOOOOOUUUUUUGAAAAA!!!" Kagome yelled, not in a helpless voice, but more in a 'please, I need your attention/assistance, will you please come' voice. Sure enough, she didn't have to wait long to a small tornado appeared, and turned out to be a boy, around seventeen, with his long black hair in a ponytail, a fur band on his head, fur clothes, a furry wolf tail and a runners strong lean form. This was Kouga, leader of the wolf tribe.
"Kagome! It's good to see you especially without mutt face around." Kagome gave him a warning look but didn't bother to stop and tell Kouga to quit criticizing Inuyasha.
"Kouga, I need to get over in that direction and fast, will you please give me there, I'm not fast enough."
"Why not walk, it's only a two days journey?" Asked Kouga curiouse.
"Because I need to get there in a few minutes time!" Kouga whistled one of those 'wow, now there's something' kinda whistles.
"Why do you want to go over there so fast?"
"Because there are about ten shards,in a Yukai that Inuyasha and the others are battling and from the sounds of it, it's not going so well."
"That lousy mutt can't even protect himself, yet he says he can protect my women." Kouga muttered under his breath, but Kagome still heard.
"Kouga! I'm not your woman! Now will you help me or won't you. I need to get there quickly, and I can't get there in under a day just by walking with my own two feet." Kagome was getting agitated. Kouga nodded. He kneeled down on one knee.
"Get on. You want to get there in less than one day, I'm your man!" He said enthusiastically. Kagome got on his back, much in a piggy back-ride fashion, Shippo still on her shoulder, and they took off.
"Kagome! Are you sure you want to go to where this demon is."
"Yes, Why?"
"Because I've got a really bad feeling about it. If you want to can come back to the den with me. The boys won't mind. You can be protected much easier there."
"I'm sorry Kouga, but I have to go help Inuyasha and the others." Kouga sighed and kept going forward.
Back at the battle, Sango and Kirara barely dodged the attack, but were thrown completely off balance and were tossed into the air. Sango's sword landed a few feet away, stuck in the ground, the hilt facing the sky. Kirara was the first to get up and ran at Audra full force.
"Lightning shocker!" Audra shouted and hit Kirara in the chest. She roared in agony, as lightning seemed to course around her fur.
"Kirara!" Yelled Sango trying to get up. She leaned heavily on her one knee and then stood up. She ran, swaying from side to side like she was going to fall over, to the still form of Kirara and kneeled. Kirara was breathing heavily, but didn't get up. Sango shook with fury.
"You'll pay for that!" She screamed and went for Audra, with only her hands to be used as weapons.
"Lightning.." Wham! Miroku whacked the back of Audra's head with a loud crack. Audra fell to her knees.
"Sango, you can't go strait at her, she's too powerful." He said
"But look at what she did to."
"Kirara will live, but you won't if you keep fighting like that." Miroku said and was suddenly flung ten feet away. Audra hit Sango in the stomach, causing her to bend over, gasping for breath. She then hit Sango in the face. Sango went flying and landed face first in the dirt, inches away from her sword, lying unconscious. Miroku stood up, his cheek bruised a nasty black and yellow. Audra turned to him.
"Bring it on.if you can."
"Kazaana!" yelled Miroku unleashing the black wind-tunnel with in his hand. And everything began to be sucked into it.
"Foolish monk. Is that your best!"? She scoffed. Miroku had surprise written all over his face as he saw that Audra wasn't being pulled into his wind-tunnel, but he kept it open none the less.
She can't withstand it for too long.can she? She has proven to be a pormidable foe.but is she that strong?
Audra looked up and raised her hand to the sky. Lightning traveled from the sky to her out-reached hand, and through her body to her other hand that was pointing at Miroku. Lightning traveled into the tunnel and Miroku screamed in pain. His eyes widened and lightning flicked all over his body. Falling to his knees, he closed the wind tunnel with shaky hands.
I've.got to.close it.otherwise.I could.pull in the others.
Only a few seconds afterwards, he collapsed into unconsciousness.
Kagome held on tightly to Kouga, not wanting to fall off, especially at the speed he was going. She looked up through the treetops and saw the storm they were heading into.
Inuyasha, what have you gotten yourself into now. She wondered. Kouga stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong Kouga?" Asked Kagome, confused, as she slid off of his back.
"I smell a Yukai. A very powerful one close by. Must be the one Dog-Breath is fighting. And this storm.it isn't natural." He said crossing his arms trying to think of what was going on.
" If you want Kouga, I can go on ahead. I can sense that the shards are only a little bit farther; I think I can manage things on my own.
"I don't think that that's is such a good idea Kagome, you could get hurt. Are you sure you don't want to go to the den with me? Me and the boys would be able to take real good care of ya. No demon would be able to so much as touch a hair on you." Said Kouga facing Kagome.
"Don't worry, I have Inuyasha to protect me." Kouga growled slightly and looked like he was going to go ahead and drag her with him instead.
"I also have Sango, Miroku, Kirara, and Shippo with me. I'll be fine." Kagome said. Kouga stood determinedly with his arms crossed, then after a few moments, sighed.
"I sure hope you know what you're getting yourself into Kagome."
"Don't worry Kouga, I'll be fine."
"You'll holler if you need me, right?"
"Yes Kouga, if it comes to that, I'll make sure that you're the first person I call for help."
"Well, if you really want to go it alone. Be careful."
"I will Kouga, don't worry."
"I'll see ya around then Kagome!" He said and ran back in the direction they had come from. The sky began to darken. Kagome shuddered and ran to where she felt the shards were.
Kagome had just gotten there in time to see Miroku collapse. Shippo jumped off of her shoulder. Kagome did a quick scan of the area to see if anyone else was still standing. None, all of them were scattered across the field and appeared to be dead.
Oh no, they can't be.dead! I'm all alone, just me and Shippo, and he's but a small child.what can I do.I don't think I can do this.If she was able to take Inuyasha, Sango, Kirara, and Miroku down, what makes me think I can destroy Audra.
Kagome looked down at Shippo as he clung to her. Looking up she saw Audra advancing to Inuyasha. Kagome was stiff with fear.
Wait.what is that.is he.really?
Kagome thought as she saw Inuyasha move, He had moved so little it was barely noticeable, but it gave Kagome hope. Audra now loomed over his motionless body. Kagome quickly cocked an arrow to her bow. Audra had a lightning ball in her hand and was about to scorch him.
Please let this work, I can't let him die! I can't let the one man I love die because of my poor aim! Please let this work!
Kagome let her arrow fly with a twang of her bowstring.
Authors Ending Note: Dang, aren't I just evil? What a cliffy. I wish I was better at writing battle scenes so it would be more enjoyable for you peoples, but as it is, I'm not, so I hope you enjoyed it anyways. SO now, Will Kagome's arrow fly tried and true? Or will Inuyasha die. Will Kouga show up in my fic again (yah, I'm thinking about it) When am I gonna put 'Fluffy' in my fic (when I feel like it-hey! Give me time here! I can only do so much! My imagination is already in over drive!) Will Sango and Miroku wake up in time to help Kagome before she to, may fall upon Audra's deadly wrath? Or Are they in actualaity dead, only to leave Kagome and Shippo up to taking their revenge on Naraku? I guess you'll have to read my next chapter to find out! TTFN!
Authors Beginning Note: Okay-dokay, so wussup, hows you all been doing since I last wrote? Well anyways, on with the important stuff.

Or Are they in actualaity dead, only to leave Kagome and Shippo up to taking their revenge on Naraku? I guess you'll have to read my next chapter to find out! TTFN!
