Chapter #2
"Inu Yasha!" Kagome screamed again, as she practly flew down the path, followed close by Miroku, Sango, Kiara, and of course, Shippo.
"Inu Yasha, where are you… EEEK! She yelled and jumped back, almost knocking the others down as they rounded the corner.
"Oh,… It-it's dead!" Sango cried, turning away from the carnage holding her stomach. She was afraid that she was going to be sick. Kiara and Shippo went to her side to try and confer her.
Kagome couldn't tack her eyes away from it. All she could think about, as she sat there on the cold heard ground was…

Miroku went to help her up, but she wouldn't move. She couldn't move. She couldn't even breath! All she could do was look at what could have been the death of all of them. All of them… And Inu Yasha…

"No… No… It can't be…", Kagome stammered, falling to her knees.
"He ca-can't… be… dead?"
Miroku placed a hand on her shoulder.
"He was badly wounded when he fell…" Sango trailed off. Tears coming to her eyes. She went to confer Kagome, but she pushed her away.
"NOO!", she cried. "HE CAN'T BE DEAD!"
Sango: "I'm sorry Kagome, but… he fell from such a height, and those injures…"
Miroku knelled down next to the girls, with Shippo and Kiara beside him.
Miroku: "Let us pray…"
