A/N: OH MY GOD, IM UPDATING!
Please, no bricks or other hard objects. Remember, I could have just left this forever and ever and update it on my death bed. Remember. And the reason I haven't updated is because I have the inuyasha box set now, but can only watch up to like, eps 70, and all the movies, every one, and I am trying to get in character.
Bankotsu-revenge: Really soon, eh?
InuLvr4eva: Live with it, okay? This will be much longer. Well, not much, but still, it's hard to write under pressure.
Annex awakening of senses: I'm pretty good, you? And thanx!
Inuyasha's Mustang: Please don't be angry, this took longer than expected!
Nomadgirl66: Are you stuck on caps?
angel61991: I know, but then again, I can send like, three paragraph long reviews to blow time.
KagomeKissez: I'm trying! Really!
Sammaalnldvaille: Poor little Inuyasha!
Hanako Horigome: Can you send me that link via e-mail? It didn't show up.
Well, on with the chappie!
Hacker: Code Red

The demons pounded down the hall and took in the scene. A bleeding Kenara, a nearly dead Inuyasha, who was bleeding all over the linoleum, and not even noticing.
"Only one youkai? And he can't handle this?" Sesshomaru sneered.
"Sesshomaru, if you haven't noticed, he is nearly dead, he can't even stand straight." And Rin was right. Inuyasha was half kneeling-half-standing, and sort of slouching, holding his bleeding chest with one hand and his sword in the other.
"Guys!" Ian yelled and the group spun around. Behind them was an army of youkai, and they were ready for battle.
"We can't fight?" Miroku half-yelled as a staff appeared in his hand, and a huge boomerang in Sango's hand. Everyone else got katanas.
"What the fuck?" Sarah yelled, very much unlike herself, and warded off the demon with her sword. Kagome stood away from all the action, and looked back at Inuyasha.
"So, Inuyasha, you can't take much more, can you?" Kagura said with a sneer to her voice.
"Do you think I will just roll over and die like a dog?" Inuyasha gritted out, deeply insulted for some reason.
"It would be easier for both me and you."
"Life isn't easy, bitch."
"Fine then!" Kagura sent another volley of wind at the dog-eared boy, who blocked it with his sword.
"Damn, I can't take much more of this… Kagome…"
That's when he saw it. The swirling winds of both his youki and the wind users.
"Somehow… I have to hit her there… I have to…" He lifted his sword a little.
"Hit where? What are you talking about hanyou?" She asked, confused.
"Where the winds meet… I can smell it!"
Making sure his aim was true, he brought the sword down on the ground as the linoleum shattered, and sent lines of lightning at Kagura the wind-user.
"Naraku… what IS that?"
Her clothes were ripped to shreds, and her skin would have been also if she had not taken the small chance between attacks to run and leave the hospital before he could not launch another volley of this strange attack.
The Kaze no Kizu.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as her hanyou fell to the ground, unconscious from blood loss. Amazingly though, when she reached his side…
"No blood?" Kagome asked wonderingly as Inuaysha slept on, not noticing the world and Miroku screamed. He was holding his right arm away from him like it was forged of poison and pain. A little black hole was slowly widening in the center of his palm and it seemed every light-weight thing in the vicinity was being drawn mysteriously to Miroku.
"Cover your arm with prayer beads!" Myoga yelled, as, since he was also light, he was being sucked in as well. Miroku picked up a bracelet of prayer beads Kagura had so conveniently left the group and placed it on his hand. Instantly, the wind stopped.
"A… kazaana?" He stared in awe. "After that demon pierced my hand, this-" He gestured to his right hand. "-Came and the demon just disappeared."
"It was Naraku." Myoga said. Everyone looked at him, not comprehending, including the now awake and fully healed Inuyasha.
"Whadda?" Kenara asked stupidly, her back seeping orange goo.
"Naraku is another hanyou, like yourself Kenara, but very strong. He controls armies of youkai, and a few others, like the one you just saw."
"So there are more like her?" Kouga asked bewildered.
"Hai, and most are even stronger."
"Naraku is the man who has been stalking me recently." Kagome said, remembering the words on the computer screen.
Deathtouch666: You are very sexy, you know.
Miko435: What do you want, pervert.
Deathtouch666: My program… and you, Kagome Higurashi.
Kagome shuddered at the memory. "He is after me, you know."
Inuyasha sat up and put his arms around her, stopping her violent shuddering. "I won't let him get you." He swore.
"I don't know Inuyasha. Some things you cannot guard Kagome against." Sesshomaru warned.
"Like what?"
"I know that if Kikyo came back from the dead, you could not fight her, only attempt to defend Kagome."
Those words stung Inuyasha.
Kikyo was his first love, and no matter how you look at it, it was a one-sided love.
"Kikyo?"
"Yes Inuyasha?"
"Do you love me?"
"Love?" The raven-haired girl laughed, as if this was just a comedy act.
"You are just a measly Hanyou, how could I love trash like you?" She stood up from the park bench she was sitting at and ran to catch the light telling her to walk.
She missed it.
Cars started again, and Inuyasha was forced to watch his first love, Kikyo, get run over by an eighteen-wheeler truck, her body get crushed to pieces.
Inuyasha shook his head to clear it. Those were memories he thought he had buried forever, and would never find again. Obviously, he was wrong.
"Inuyasha?"
"Hai, Rin?"
"We should get going."
As the group stood to leave, he looked over his shoulder and saw the obviously sweet moment happening between Kenara and Ryuu, that punk, as he bandaged up her back. Ryuu had been crushing on his sister since grade school, and he wasn't going to pass up a chance like this one. He smirked.
Sweet, sweet revenge.
"Oi, Kenara, maybe you can bring your boyfriend home and we can pull out those naked baby pictures Mother always kept of you, and the love letters to your old crush." He said, watching her face go red.
"INUYASHA!" She yelled as she stood up and raced after him down the hall, Inuyasha nearly yelping for help.
"That puppy gets himself into heaps of trouble when I'm not there to help him." Sesshomaru quietly remarked and the group laughed as Kenara chased her brother around in circles in the hospital garden.
"IM GOING TO MAKE YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER BEEN BORN!" She yelled, waving a fist in the air as she got uncomfortably closer. The group stayed at a safe distance, behind an infirmary window.
"She gets so mad over the littlest things." Ayame remarked, and the group nodded solemnly.
"Kenara, it's only baby picture-"
"SO?"
"AH!" He yelled as his sister tacked him to the ground and started beating the shit out of him. Kagome piped in.
"Think we should save him?"
Miroku shook his head as Inuyasha's hand made a grasping motion at the window and his other companions.
"Nah, this is too entertaining."
