8. Worry and Loss

When Kagome had left Inuyasha sat there by himself for a few moments needing some time to be alone.

I felt wonderful when I kissed Kagome but what about Kikyo, I still love her. Even if Kikyo is still in the world of the living she's dead and maybe it's time that I started to get over her, Inuyasha thought.

He took quite awhile to get his emotions under control so no one would guess what he had been up to and by the time he went over to where the others were it was almost sunset. Inuneesan knew what the night would bring, she was even already losing some of her supernatural powers and she was a little worried about what would happen when night came.

"Inuyasha are you worried about something?" Shippo curiously asked his companion.

"Maybe a little. Do you even know what tonight is?" Inuyasha asked wondering if they knew that he was losing his powers.

"There's no moon tonight," Sango realized as the sun began to creep out of the sky in its nightly descent.

"Exactly so you and Miroku can have fun protecting the group tonight seeing how my sister and I will be rendered powerless," Inuyasha said.

Miroku asked, "But I thought that your sister only transformed on the night of a full moon?"

"I transform into a human on the night of the new moon as a well as the opposite of Inuyasha on the night of a full moon. I'm probably cursed with two different transformations because I'm the youngest," Inuneesan answered.

"Hey sis don't worry about it Miroku and Sango will protect the camp tonight won't you guys?" Inuyasha said to reassure his sister.

"Uh sure Inuyasha," Miroku said not sure of any other way to answer.

"We'll do our best to make sure that nothing happens to you and your brother," Sango added.

"And I'll help out too my archery has been getting better," Kagome said and readied an arrow on her bow.

"Thanks I needed the reassurance," Inuneesan said thankful to have friends who would help her.

"Now don't be getting yourselves killed if something goes wrong," Inuyasha said, he didn't want to see his companions and friends lose their lives.

"Since when do you care Inuyasha," Shippo asked for the group.

"Who says that I do I just don't want to have to be wasting my timeburying you guys that's all," he retorted.

Kagome wanted to say, He really does care about what happens to me and the others, but she kept the thought to herself.

Inuneesan looked up at the sky to see the last rays of the setting sun and thought, I know that the others will watch the camp but I've got a feeling that something bad is going to happen tonight.

As darkness swept over the world everything went a quiet, to some this was an ominous sign. Inuyasha and Inuneesan transformed, their hair had become black, their eyes became brown, they lost their claws and fangs, their ears changed from dog ears to normal ones, and they lost all the demon powers that they had had.

Having lost her good hearing Inuneesan hugged her brother, scared for not knowing where she was.

"It's alright sis, we're all right here if you need us," Inuyasha reassured her and he held his sister close.

Suddenly the wind picked up and everything around them moved rustling in the new breeze. It died down as suddenly as it had come and the wind sorcererous, Kagura stood in front of them.

"So Inuyasha I see that you become a pathetic mortal on the night when there is no moon," Kagura said in a mocking voice.

"So what of it? I can still beat you any day that I want," Inuyasha retorted.

"It gives me the opportunity to slaughter you and your worthless friends," she replied.

"Oh yeah we'll see about that," Inuyasha said angrily and got in a fighting stance.

"Inuyasha, let Sango and Miroku take care of this," Kagome said knowing he couldn't fight as well in his human form.

"Err but Kagome," Inuyasha argued.

"No Inuyasha, what about your sister do you want her to get hurt?"

"Of course I don't but Kagura's askin for it."

"Oh so the little mortal has a sister maybe I should kill her first to make you suffer," Kagura said with an evil laugh.

"That does it, Kagome watch my sister. Kagura you're dead," Inuyasha yelled and handed Inuneesan over to Kagome.

"Finally," Kagura said and unfurled her fan. She called, "DANCE OF THE DRAGON," before Inuyasha had time to make a move.

He was swept up in the wind cyclone that had formed from Kagura's fanand when he was spit back out he was bloodied all over.

Kagome ran over to him, leaving Inuneesan with Miroku, Sango and Shippo, and knelt by Inuyasha's side. "Please be alright," she said as tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha moaned.

"Yes," she replied.

"How are the others?"

"They're fine."

"That's good, don't cry Kagome I couldn't bear to see you in tears. You shouldn't worry about me," he said and passed out.

Kagome wiped away her tears and pointed an arrow at Kagura. "Kagura you're going to pay," she said, enraged and fired the arrow.

The demon grabbed the feather from her hair, making a gust of wind that deflected the arrow and when it had died down she was flying away. Before Kagura left entirely she called, "I hope you enjoy this host of demons it should keep you brats busy."

The demons came in swarms and within seconds the whole group was fighting minus the two transformed half demons.

Kagome was letting loose her sacred arrows, Miroku was using his wind tunnel on the massive groups that came at him, Sango was using her hiraikotsu as well as being assisted by Kilala, even Shippo was helping out with his fox magic and Fox Fire.

As they fought they did not notice the bamboo cloaked demon that came up behind them and hit Inuneesan over the head. He picked up the unconscious girl and carried her off into the night; he had won the prize of the battle and as soon as he left the demons dispersed.

"Where did all the demons go?" Sango asked feeling that something was not right.

"I don't know," Miroku asked feeling the uncertainty as well.

"Is everyone all right," Kagome asked.

Everyone nodded.

Then Inuyasha awoke, looking around he said, "Inuneesan is gone."

I hope that you all enjoyed that. I'll try to update soon if I can. What is Naraku planning to do to Inuneesan? Review to find out the answer and I'll try to write. Again I thank you all for being so patient with me because I had a major's writer block on this fic but I think that I've finally broken it. Bye for now it's just about time for supper and I'm hungry.
