The day was perfectly crisp and breathtakingly beautiful it was the best day anyone can ask for. The Inuyasha gang were appreciatively
enjoying this break from jewel shard hunting. Everyone was relaxing under the sacred tree's cooling shade which was un needed for the
heat. Everyone chatted and joked laughing lightly and having a little picnic. It was another gourmet meal from Kagome's time and everyone
enjoyed it, even Inuyasha. Kagome had spread out a nice blanket and everyone had started digging in.
"Kagome this is wonderful!" Miroku commented while tossing a sushi roll into his mouth. "Oh thank you Miroku I-" ( smack) "Monk, cant
you keep your hands to yourself for once for goodness sake were eating!" Sango chastised while angrily snatching up her plate and sitting as
far from Miroku as possible and still staying on the blanket. (Kagome) "I made them myself." "Sango how can you not trust me I was just
killing a bug I saw it could have been poisonous you never know, demons can be so small nowadays." Miroku rehearsed innocently acting
forgivable." Shippou now deciding to join the never ending argument added "It looked to me like your were giving that bug a nice little pat
not a death sentence." "Shippou where did you hear that word!" Kagome asked surprised as everyone else. "I saw it in one of Kagome's
history books. Actually she was reading it while studying for one of her tests." Shippou told while digging into Kagome's yellow overweight
backpack sitting right next to her looking for a tasty treat or snack. Victoriously he held up a rainbow lollipop and with impatient haste
ripped off the wrapper and tossing it without a care to the side. Kagome uncertain as what to do spoke motherly to Shippou "Shippou-""Everyone shut- up!" Inuyasha snapped. Everyone was surprised at hearing his voice because he was almost ignored so well that he was
almost invisible to them or unnoticeably quiet. Kagome about to enter a speech to Inuyasha about his rudeness and lacking of manners was
sorefully stopped by Inuyasha's twitching nose and active dog ears picking up on something. Every one soon forgot about the wonderful
food, Shippou's knowledge of something rated R and Miroku's dangerous hand. They all curiously stared at Inuyasha while he obliviously
ignored them and concentrated on picking up whatever he had sensed. The eagerness emitting from all of them was so strong that if
Inuyasha wasn't concentrating on what he was doing then he would have repulsively ran from the stench of it. Finally after a minute that
seemed liked forever he jumped up and exclaimed "Demon, I smell a demon!" "Every one except Inuyasha sighed gratefully, for his
released knowledge had just fed their overdramatic eagerness that was just eating at their minds. Inuyasha mistaking this sigh of relief for a
groan of laziness quickly snapped at them to gather everything up and pack it up while he did absolutely nothing but secretly watch Kagome
as if the demon was after her ( cough cough). "Inuyasha it might help a little if you can give us a hand here." Kagome hinted while grabbing
the plates from Sango and the left over container food from Shippou and Miroku. Stuffing the bag so sloppily she barely zipped it without
having the zipper cut off her nice red blanket. Kagome stood up as quickly as her heavy backpack would allow and scooped Shippou into
her arms and placed him in her cute little basket. Miroku and Sango just as quickly and routinely got settled on kirara who was taking a nap
but managed to shake off the sleepiness. "Are you guys ready?" Inuyasha asked pointlessly, for he ran ahead without an answer expecting
them to follow without questions. "Why do you even ask?" Kagome said to herself while pushing off the ground and pedaling down the
road after Kirara. After just about a minute Inuyasha abruptly stopped in front of the beginning of a long green maze- like forest and looked
like he was waiting for every one else to catch up.
Soon they were all next to Inuyasha waiting for him to take the lead again when Miroku realized he wasn't going to.
"Inuyasha what's wrong?" Miroku asked warily of breaking a spell that he was under. "The smell….. Its…..gone.." Inuyasha said puzzled.
"Are you sure Inuyasha?" Kagome asked unsure. "Its like it was never there…. Like it ….. Disappeared." Inuyasha asked now more mad
than confused. "Inuyasha if you lost the scent-" "I didn't loose the scent Kagome it disappeared it was like pulling a hat out of a rabbit and
then putting the hat back in the rabbit!" ( what he meant to say was it was like pulling a rabbit out of a hat and then putting the rabbit back in
the hat.) Inuyasha said furiously. Kagome laughing quietly at his mistake was quickly scolded by Inuyasha. "Kagome this isn't funny…..
This….. This could be a demon… a dangerous demon who is powerful enough to …hide his scent." "Inuyasha the demon could have
been a while off and probably ran off it's not your fault." Sango said reassuringly. Later that night, after the group had settled nearby
everyone ate and didn't talk about what happened that day. Everyone fell asleep but they would soon wake up to something horrible.
Maybe if they had took Inuyasha seriously they may have stopped what was to come.
Special thanks to Sachichan16 who was my only fuel towards this chapter. Does any one have any suggestions towards the Dream Demons name? If you do let me know in a review. Also I need at least 3 reviews to write the next chapter, Thanks enjoy.
