To be continued . . .

The source of the shaking was coming from the manor they had just left. Suddenly a large demon in the twisted shape of a man bust out of the manor over looking the village and began to tear it's way through the village.

Miroku shouted out to the rest "Be careful it must be a powerful demon to have broken through that barrier shrine at the entrance."

Sango then noticed something odd about the demon and pointed it out to her friends "Wait a minute, aren't those the closes that the old man was wearing."

Everyone stared in shock as they realized that Sango was right. "She's right he must have been a demon this whole time and . . ." Kagome paused for a minute concentrating. Then she gasped.

Sango was the first to react. "What is it Kagome?" She asked as she went to the girl's side.

Kagome looked up at the demon "It has a jewel shard, it's in the forehead. But why couldn't I sense it before?"

Miroku thought on this for a minute and concluded "It must have been that shrine. It must have also been the reason none of us could sense that he was a demon at all."

Inuyasha just shrugged it off and stated "Whatever, the point is that he is out in the open now and that he has a jewel shard." He was still upset (boy can he hold a grudge or what?) and was really looking for a fight.

Inuyasha charged full force at the newly revealed demon, with the Tetsusaiga transformed and ready. The demon swiped at him but missed. Inuyasha tried to end it with his Wind Scar but the demon caught it and thrust it back at him. Inuyasha dodged and cursed under his breath.

Inuyasha was getting really mad now "Dammit, how can I stop that thing if it can deflect the wind scar like that!"

"Inuyasha--" Kagome started but was cut off by a white flash that looked like Sesshomaru rushing toward the demon.

Inuyasha growled at his older brother "That jerk is trying to show off again. Well not this time. Inuyasha raced toward the demon catching up along side Sesshomaru. Then Kagome noticed Rin who had wandered close to the village and with that the demon. She tried to tell Inuyasha but the sounds of the battle drowned her out.

Sesshomaru looked to Inuyasha who had caught up with him. "Stay out of my way

half-breed." he said in his cold uncaring voice.

Inuyasha wasn't in the mood for this jerk. "What do you mean stay out of your way! You mind your own business!"

Sesshomaru said nothing as he unsheathed Tokijin and hacked the demon to pieces and, unseen by anyone except Kagome, saved Rin from being crushed by the falling demon flesh. As he returned her to safety she followed him as he walked off into the forest.

Kagome immediately ran up to Inuyasha to make sure he was alright "Inuyasha are you ok?" she asked concern clear in her voice seeing as he had been so near the attack.

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome and he yelled "NO, I'M NOT OK! I CAN'T STAND HIM! WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM!" Kagome said nothing.

Sango and Miroku tried to warn him "Uh Inuyasha . . ."

Shippo interrupted them "I think it's to late."

Kagome was just standing there her face blank. Then she lifted her head and smiled a scary and twisted smile. But what really scared Inuyasha was what she said next "If you ever yell at me like that again . . ."

Inuyasha was still mad at Sesshomaru so he wasn't thinking clearly or in this case maybe he wasn't thinking at all. He opened his mouth and said "OH YEAH, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO--" he stopped suddenly coming to the realization of what he had just done.

Kagome snapped, "Inuyasha . . . SIT BOY!" Inuyasha ended up in a hole about two feet deep that he had to get out of himself.

Sango turned to Kagome wanting to stop the fighting "Um, Kagome why don't we go look for that jewel shard, ok?" Sango and Kagome walk off toward where she sensed the jewel shard.

Miroku turned to Inuyasha who had just climbed out of the hole "You do realize that you asked for that right, Inuyasha?"

Shippo Jumped up on Miroku's shoulder and looked down at Inuyasha "Yeah you shouldn't yell at Kagome like that."

Inuyasha finally got fed up and said "Why do you have to gang up on me I'm the victim here, not her." They both sighed, he was hopeless.

When Sango and Kagome returned, having found the jewel shard, Kagome seemed to be in a better mood. She turned to Inuyasha with a happy smile. "Hey Inuyasha, you want to ride on my bike?" she asked Inuyasha as if nothing had happened.

Inuyasha gave her a strange look and then finally gave up. "Alright already!" he said as he took a seat on the back of Kagome's bike. As they were riding off Inuyasha fell asleep.

'He must have been even more tried then I thought. Oh well, sleep tight Inuyasha.' Kagome thought smiling to herself.
