Houshi's Forcefield Part Two

"He's right up ahead!" Inuyasha yelled.

"But what about Houshi! I don't want to bring him along!" Kagome argued.

"He's fine! Shippou will take care of him!" Inuyasha stated. "We don't have any time to lose!" Kagome was about to say something, but changed her mind. There was nothing to say that would change his mind. Except…

"Sit!" 'thump' Inuyasha went face first into the ground. Kagome grabbed Houshi and Shippou and rolled off the hanyou. She sat them on the ground. Inuyasha stood up, mumbling things that only he could understand.

"You guys stay—"

"Kagome! Watch out!" Inuyasha picked up all three of them by the back and jumped out of the way of a bolt of lightning. He sat her back down and kneeled next to her. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah thanks! He turned around so quickly! He's fast." She said shocked. Kirara landed right behind them with Miroku and Sango. They jumped off and ran up to them.

"You guys ok? We saw the flash from up there!" Sango said.

"Yeah we're ok. He turned around on us." Sango looked past Kagome and Inuyasha to the trees. Kagome turned. Ekiru stepped out behind a tree. He seemed angry.

"You still refuse to die! Why wont you just die miko!" Ekiru growled.

"Why are you trying to kill me? What did I do to you!" She yelled.

"When your gone I will be able to find the jewel shards and make my wish come true."

"What dream?" she asked, Ekiru smirked and flicked his wrist, sending a large lightning bolt from his hand towards Kagome. Inuyasha jumped in front of her and swiped his sword to make the attack disappear.

"You have gotten in the way for the last time half demon!" Ekiru pulled out his Kassatsu and brought it up high, then came down hard on the ground. Large red flames came from his sword. Inuyasha put the Tetsusaiga up in defense. The force of the attack pushed him back several feat.

In a matter of seconds Ekiru was clanging swords with him again. Inuyasha side stepped his opponent and ever so lightly glided his sword on Ekiru's arm. Ekiru turned and slid on the ground. He jumped and caught Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Inuyasha!" both Sango, Miroku and Kagome yelled. They ran over to him. The girls kneeled down by his side. Ekiru smirked. This was his chance. They were open, and distracted. They had no chance of protecting themselves at this moment.

They were unaware of their surroundings and this was the prefect moment. Ekiru flicked both of his wrists, sending powerful shock waves towards the unaware gang. Kagome looked up. Her eyes widened as the waves came towards her and her friends.

Kagome closed her eyes to wait for the fate that was set upon her, but she felt no pain. Smelled no blood. Had no relief. She looked up, her gaze followed by her friends. A red barrier surrounded them and Kirara.

"Wha--!" Kagome said. She turned her head. Shippou and Houshi were sitting behind her in the barrier. "What are you two doing here!" Kagome snapped.

"Is that the way to talk to the two people that just saved your life?" Shippou joked.

"What?"

"Houshi can put up powerful barriers! He is half demon you remember." Shippou said proudly. Kagome looked down at Houshi. He smiled up at her, his golden eyes glowing. She picked him up and squished him in several hugs of thank you.

"You. I remember that baby. It seems it is a half demon just like yourself Inuyasha." Ekiru flicked his wrists, sending the shock waves. But the barrier was to powerful. This half demon was not like others. He could set a barrier even powerful enough to stop his attacks.

"I hate that we have to cut this short. Until next time." Ekiru sent the wind around him and in seconds disappeared.

That's strange. He gave up so quickly this time. Why did he leave so soon. He only tried once to break the barrier. Why did he give up so easily? Inuyasha asked him self.

"Is he gone?" Kagome asked.

"Knowing him, yeah." Inuyasha stated.

"I cant believe Houshi, our little Houshi half demon, was able to put up such a strong barrier that Ekiru couldn't even get through!" Sango said. She looked over Kagome's shoulder at the baby in her friends arms.

"Yeah. He's just a baby. Since he saved us we must return a favor and keep him." Kagome said smiling. Sango rolled her eyes.

"Kagome—" Kagome stuck out her lower lip, begging for her just to think about it.

"We will have to think about it. But think about the baby. It isn't safe for us to bring along a small child while we go out and fight demons!" she fought.

"I know but…" Kagome had grown so attached to the baby. She didn't want to give Houshi away to another family. "What about him being half demon. I don't think a family would take him in!"

"I didn't think about that." Sango said,

"Ladies, let us think about that later. For now let us just relax and enjoy the day." Miroku came up behind them and placed his hand on their butt. They turned to face him, glaring at him.

"Miroku.." they both growled. 'SLAP' Both the girls slapped Miroku across the face. He had two familiar marks left on his cheek. He rubbed the sides of his face proudly.

"Idiot." Shippou mumbled.

That's it. Sorry its short but Im on my uncles lap top and not supposed to be. And he at grocerie store. Well when I found the name Houshi it said it meant Mysterious. So I took it. But anyways awards will come Monday.
