Inuyasha stood, nodding his head and looking toward it. "I can smell the stench of the vermin who is behind this…" His eyes narrowed.

Kagome questioned him, "Who is it, Inuyasha?"

"That's an easy one, who else would be willing to slaughter humans as dogs with no place in the world? Only my half-brother-Sesshomaru."

….. …..

"Inuyasha, I understand that if I were to question your judgement on attempting to find said Sesshomaru it would be unwise, but if he is the one we cannot battle equally at this time should it not be of the better decision to turn around at this point and resume our routine back in the age of which we know?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha looked at him slowly, then looked back at Kagome, then back at Miroku. "What?"

Kagome sighed. "Stupid, he's asking why we are hunting down Sesshomaru if we can't take him."

"Because we can. We can."

"Inuyasha, play not the fool. I can tell you are quite afraid of Sesshomaru at this point."

"I'm not scared!"

"Scared-no. Afraid? Yes."

Inuyasha growled at Miroku, swiping at him with his claws but turned back towards the miasma again. "We have to go into it. Trust me on this, I some how know this is the right path to take."

Sango spoke up. "Sometimes there is no right path. You judge with your heart…and if Inuyasha thinks it's best that we travel to Sesshomaru, then maybe it's best."

Kagome nodded, somewhat gravely and picked up the bow and arrow set lying on the ground. "I'm ready."

Sango adjusted the boomerang, and Miroku rubbed the palm of his hand. "What is it with your palm, Miroku?" Sango asked, taking his hand and touching the spot.

Miroku winced and pulled back. "It's nothing," he said, walking toward the miasma. Sango gave his retreating form a small look of concern, but continued on without another word.

Dark was coming slowly, and the light filtering through the trees steadily became thinner and thinner. Pale stars sprung out into the sky above and the sun was slowly slipped behind the mountains they walked to. The moon was slowly disappearing, nearing the time of the New Moon.

The grass below their feet was slightly wet, and creatures of all kinds were watching from the dark bushes on either side of them. The small stream they had been following had run dry and led into a very deep path with many small rocks embedded in the bottom.

Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Kagome all walked into the river bed, following it supposedly downstream toward the miasma which was slowly drifting their way.

"We're nearing it." Inuyasha commented, his eyes watching the mist in front of him. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and started picking up speed, throwing his hands behind his back and running. Inside he felt free from all the troubles that were on his shoulders, he could breathe clearly and feel the wind against his face so wonderful—

BAM!

Inuyasha went flying forward and landed flat on his face, his eyes dazed. "Ehhh—"

Kagome ran forward. "Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Inuyasha, are you okay?" She knelt beside him.

Miroku picked up the furry ball that Inuyasha had fallen over and carried it to them. He set it down beside Inuyasha who tried to strike it and knock it backwards. However it rolled over and a little kitsune face was underneath the ball of fuzz. He too was in a daze.

"How cute!" Kagome grabbed the small kitsune and pried his fluffy tail away from his body. "he's a fox demon!" She brushed the dirt off of him.

The little fox demons at up and sneezed. He wore a turquoise bow and a vest with little pants and a small t-shirt. His hair was a reddish brown color, fluff everywhere and he had big tall eyes.

"I'm Shippo." He said in a high squeaky voice.

"Shippo. I'm Kgaome, this is Sango, Miroku and…Inuyasha."

Inuyasha sat in a huff, with his arms crossed. "Feh. He's slowing us down. Let him go and let's get going." HE got up and made his way walking toward the miasma.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried. "You can come with us, Shippo," she smiled at him.

Shippo grinned and got up. "Inuyasha, I think it's rude how you are acting towards Kagome. She's so nice and you treat her like she means nothing."

Kagome blushed and laughed while Inuyasha continued forward ina huff.

Sango and Miroku watched from behind, both slightly annoyed at the darkness and ready to camp out and make it tomorrow. "Inuyasha, let's stop forth enight," Miroku commented. Sango agreed.

"Stopping will get us no where. We have to conintue. We were already set back."

"By what? Two minutes?" Kagome commented, walking.

"Fine! We'll stop but only until dawn." Inuyasha looked around and glanced over a large tree with an opening. HE made his way to it. "In here," he commented, slipping under the wood on all sides and sitting against the wall. Kagome and Shippo followed.

"Uh-is there enough room in there for us?" Miroku asked, glancing in.

Inuyasha said nothing nad Kagome looked around, the little kitsune cuddled in her lap. "If Sango sits in your lap there MIGHT be."

Miroku grinned widely and slipped in. "Correct. Comeo n Sango." HE patted the lap of his cloaks. Sango gave Kagome a horrified look and blushed.

"fine." She said, knowing full well that of course she wanted to sit in his lap. She slid in and sat on his lap, after hiding her boomerang in the bushes. She scooted around to make sure she was comfortable, Miroku making weird faces the entire time.

Inuyasha and Kagome exchanged glances but instead looked away from everything. Kagome leaned her head on Inuyasha's shoulder and began to doze while Inuyahsa, in slight blush, closed his eyes and set his focus on sesshomaru.

Sango had settled back into Mirou's chest and began drifting, until she felt her hand slip. Miroku reached over and took her hand in his and comfortably let himself sleep.

Morning came sooner than they expected.

"Inuyasha, stop," Kagome commented in her sleep as miasma filled the tree trunk. She was in a daze and swinging her arms almost lifelessly.

Inuyasha sat up quickly. His eyes widened and he covered his nose with the sleeve of his shirt. Sesshomaru was near. He almost found himself running out stupidly but made himself sit very still and watch as the miasma got thicker and thicker.

Glancing around the small tree trunk he saw the little Kitsune kicking in his sleep and Kagome with her face pale. She had breathed it in for hours it seemed. He gently brought her hand over her mouth and held it there until she did it herself.

With quick steps Sesshomaru crossed by the tree trunk, his sense focused only on the band of humans before him, not on Inuyasha and the group in the tree. Inuyasha slowly pulled his head out once Sesshomaru had passed. "Why didn't he sense me?" Inuyasha asked, sliding out and allowing Kagome to lay down on the ground. He looked both ways and ran after Sesshomaru.

Okay, that's all for now I guess. Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. Things are just hectic around here.

Um I started a new story but I might delete it cause I really really don't like it just yet. It's called Marry, Marry, Quiet Rarely and (Yes I am advertising so kiss my booty if you don't like it) it's…I dunno.

Read it please if you have time.

I certainly understand if you don't.
