Chapter 4

Miroku and the others made it to Kaede's house without much difficulty. It had taken about a day and a half because of Kagome's injurys, and the fact that they had to carry her. She was still unconcious.

Kaede: "what happened to her? Shes covered in blood!"

Miroku: "we were attacked by a demon. Kagome took the full force of the attack. Its a miracle she survived.

Miroku placed Kagome on a cot and Kaede started to bandage her up. The others waited outside patiently to hear the news if she would survive or not.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He didn't know how long he stood there, just that it seemed forever. He himself, the one who had vowed to protect Kagome with his life, had taken hers. He was no better than any other demon.

Inuyasha went and picked up tetsuiga, the cast it away. He didn't want to touch the instrament of his sins. The sword flew from his hand and stuck into a nearby tree. Inuyasha ran in the oppodite direction.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaede walked out of the hut with a grim look on her face.

Kaede: "Kagome will be fine."

Miroku and everyine else yelled with joy at the good news.

Kaede: "however, i am curious as to what attacked her. the wounds do seem to be from an ordinary demon."

Sango: "whatever it was, it sure was powerful."

Miroku applied a puzzled look on his face. He remembered seeing tetsuiga at the site, but not inuyasha. Come to think of it, they didn't see their attacker either. Miroku put 2 and 2 together adn let out a gasp of surprise. Everyone stared at him.

Sango: "do you know what did this, Miroku?"

Miroku nodded "you won't like what i have to say..."
