Disclaimer: Hi hi! Proart here! Well uh. Thanks for the nice reviews and the helpful reviews. Well I didn't notice that I put so much detail. I'll try not too But whether Houshi stays with Kagome or Sango or even stays with one of them is my choice. Thanks for the helpful hints They are always appreciated. Well to all my Houshi-loving reviewers you might be mad at me. I'm still thinking of giving Houshi away. But I'm not sure.

Poisoned

Kagome pulled up her knees to her chest to cover Houshi with warmth. She rested her head on Inuyasha's shoulder and leaned against the tree behind them. Her eyes twittled as the baby sucked on the bottle, trying to get every spot of milk left.

"Mm..I can't sleep with that baby!" Inuyasha growled.

"…" Kagome closed her eyes, still holding up the almost empty bottle for Houshi. The gang hadn't come across Ekiru in several days. She wanted to know why he wasn't coming after her, and why he was hiding. Making sure she couldn't find him.

Shippou glared over at Houshi in Kagome's arms. He was angry. He used to be the baby. He used to be the most loved. He used to be the one that everyone looked after. And now that Houshi came along, he was put down. Ignored. He wasn't the baby of the group any more. And he would do anything, anything to get that back.

The kit ran over to Kagome and crawled into her lap, opposite of Houshi. He curled up, and closed his eyes with a small sigh seeping through his lips. Kagome looked down at him and smiled. She patted him on the head and went back to sleep.

The gang packed everything up to continue on their journey. They stepped out of the woods onto the path again and walked away from their previous sleeping ground. Kagome handed Houshi over to Sango.

"I sense a sacred jewel shard near!" she told Inuyasha.

"Where?" he asked.

"Straight up ahead. Its getting closer!" she replied.

"A demon?" Sango asked.

"Guess so." Kagome replied.

"Kirara!" Sango yelled. The small cat demon turned into its larger form. Sango climbed on carefully with the baby in her arms. Miroku and Shippou followed. The kitsune climbed on top of Kirara's head and sat back.

"Ok. Come on." Kagome climbed on Inuyasha's back and they were all off.

"What is that!" Kagome yelled, referring to the large purple scorpion demon.

".." They skidded to a stop in front of the demon. It whipped its tail, breaking off a large boulder stuck to the wall. Inuyasha and Kagome jumped off the ledge of the hill they were on and slid down to face the scorpion demon.

The scorpion growled and whipped around its tail again to knock off another boulder.

Inuyasha and Kagome were followed by Sango and Miroku. Inuyasha pulled out his Tetsusaiga and pointed it towards the scorpion. He charged towards it and jumped up. He was about to bring his sword down on it when the demon brought around his tail and swiped hitting Inuyasha back against the wall of the mountain.

"Inuyasha! You ok?" Kagome asked as she ran over to him. The demon charged for Sango and Miroku. Kagome looked over. Houshi was still with them. Kagome pulled the bow off her shoulder and pointed an arrow towards it.

The demon hit near them, but Sango and Miroku jumped on Kirara just in time.

"Hey! You stay away from him!" she yelled. She let the arrow fly, hitting the demon in the neck and cutting its head off. Green poison sprayed everywhere. In a matter of seconds the head started moving towards the body, trying to reconnect.

"Miroku!" Sango yelled elbowing him in the stomach.

"Oh right!" he said and jumped off Kirara to land close to the demon. He pulled off the prayer beads that held in his cursed wind tunnel and faced his hand toward the remains of the scorpion.

"Wind Tunnel!" he yelled. It pulled in the demon and it was gone forever.

Kagome picked up the shard left behind. She turned towards her friends, who stared at her with wide eyes.

"What?" she asked.

"We..we just never..really…saw you kill a demon that quick." Sango stuttered.

"Well I couldn't let him get my Houshi!" she said taking him from Sango and tickling him under the chin.

The sky got dark and the gang was growing tired. "Look there's a cave up ahead." Sango said.

"Great! Now we don't have to sleep outside." Kagome added.

They all walked up to the entrance. Once stepping in the warmth hit them. Kagome sat down leaning against the wall of the cave.

"I'll go look for food." Inuyasha said. Kagome nodded and he was off. She dug threw her back pack for the bottle. She pulled it out and filled it with the carton of warm milk. She screwed on the top and showed it to Houshi, who grasped it and stuck the top in his mouth to suck on it.

An hour passed and Inuyasha finally returned. He held five fish on a string. He threw them on the pot to cook, every once and a while flipping them on the other side.

After a few minutes Inuyasha handed a fish to everyone. Houshi, Kirara and Shippou shared. Houshi only had a little bit so Shippou and Kirara got to fill up. The rest of them got their own.

Houshi coughed and shivered some. Kagome looked down at him with worry.

"What's wrong Houshi? You cant be cold you have a blanket." She said. The shivering continued. She held him closer to her, pulling up her knees to conceal the heat in. The shivering didn't cease.

"Whats wrong with him?" Kagome paniced.

"Calm down, he might just have a cold." Miroku said. Kagome nodded. "We will go by a village soon and get a medicine. But for now he will be fine." Kagome smiled, acting like she had calmed down. But deep in her mind, she knew this was no cold.

-smiles evily- Yes something MIGHT be wrong with Houshi. Im not telling anything. You will have to wait for tomorrow. Sorry if this chapter seems messed up. I didn't feel so good today.
