Inuyasha and friends are leaving the village. Shippo is ridding in the basket on Kagome's bike. Sango and Miroku are flying along side her on Kirara and Inuyasha is on foot.
Inuyasha starts to complain "Why am I the only one who has to run?"
Kagome looks at Inuyasha a little annoyed because he had been saying this for the past half hour. She responded "Well Kirara is flying and this bike doesn't exactly peddle itself you know, but if you really want to you can ride on the back of my bike." Kagome stopped and waited for his answer.
Sango had Kirara stop to and said "Yeah, why don't you just ride with Kagome. Then we won't have to hear you whine anymore." she muttered the last part so not even Inuyasha could hear it. Inuyasha stopped and he blushed, somewhere in between embarrassed and annoyed. He mutters something to himself and refuses to move.
Kagome starts to get mad and with her choice of words you might wonder if she had stopped thinking "Oh for crying out loud just sit!" There is a loud crash and Inuyasha is face down in the dirt. When he got up you could practically see the steam rising.
Inuyasha was now beat red with anger "What was that for, because I didn't want to ride on that stupid thing!" he started to shout.
Kagome tried to look innocent even though she believed that he had deserved it weather she meant to or not "No it was an accident. I didn't mean to," she defended.
Miroku got down from Kirara hopping to set things right. The last thing they needed right now was another fight "Calm down we were all here it was obviously an accident. Although I admit Kagome should be a little more careful about what she says."
Shippo joined in "yeah, Inuyasha she didn't do it on purpose."
Inuyasha just stared at everyone defending her "Whatever." he said in an irritated voice. He passed right by the bike and continued to walk down the road. The others start up again and follow Miroku climbed back on Kirara, but not before offering to take Inuyasha's place on the bike with Kagome, which Sango kindly denied by slapping Miroku in the face. They soon arrive at a large town at the foot of a mountain. As they walked into the village they are surrounded by the villagers.
One villager said "Please help us!"
Another villager approached "Yes please our village has been plagued by a demon of late."
Inuyasha looked out at the villagers and then back to the ones speaking "What kind of demon is it and what does he want?"
The first villager spoke again "it's an imp like demon with a staff that breaths fire and he has been coming here ever since the lord of the manor on the mountain took in a young girl he found just wandering around outside the village. The demon demands that we give him the girl or else."
The friends looked at each other. Sango steps forward to speak "Did this staff happen to have two faces on it?"
The other villager answered "Yes, but how did you know that? Do you know the demon?"
Miroku spoke up "It must be Jaken and he is looking for Rin."
Inuyasha nods in agreement and still seemed irritated "If it is him then Sesshomaru can't be too far behind."
Kagome turns to her friends "We have to get Rin out of here before he gets here."
They all nod and Sango talks to the villagers "Please take us to the girl that the demon is after."
The villager looks unsure at them but agrees "This way please." The villager led them up to the manor. The manor was located on a ledge high above the village. As they approached they noticed that the land was scorched and destroyed and it got worse the closer they came to the entrance. At the gate was a shrine. The villager point to the shrine and said "This shrine keeps out all demons. Your friends will have to stay here."
They all pass through leaving Shippo and Kirara behind; Inuyasha refusing to wait outside forced himself through, and headed for a large building.
