Kagome sat there by Inuyasha's side as he lied there unconscience. She remembered him yelling at her to stay back when he was hit with Nashina's attack. All she could do now was wait for him to wake up. "Inuyasha you're goingto be okay. I just know it."

"Ka-go-me, is that you?" Inuyasha stammered with a whisper.

"Don't worry Inuyasha, I'm right here. Do you need anything?"

"No, I'm okay. What happened to me again?"

"We were down by the Sacred Tree when Nashina came, and tried to attack you. The two of you were fighting when she used an attack called dis-ember wind. The attack injured you pretty badly."

"Oh yeah now I remember. She doesn't know who she's messing with!"

"Inuyasha! It's not wise going and picking a fight when you're still injured." Kagome warned.

"Feh! My wounds healed just fine." Inuyasha was sounding like his old self again.

"Fine, then let's see. SIT!"

"Oww! What the hell did you do that for!"

"Well you said that you weren't injured. So I just wanted to see for myself."

"I wasn't injured till you told me to sit!" Inuyasha yelled. Then the two began to argue like they always do.

Miroku and Sango were standing outside the hut waiting for the news to see if Inuyasha was going to be okay. Then they heard the yelling.

"Yeah, I think he is okay." Miroku said.

"Then maybe we don't need to stand here and wait for the news." Sango told him.

"Would you like to take a walk with me?"

"Umm... I guess so." Sango answered with a blush.

"What is it that you wanted to ask me?" Nashina asked.

"I want to know what your name is. You never told me at our last encounter."

"Why do you want to know what my name is?"

"You seem somewhat familiar to me." Sesshomaru said. "I want to confirm my suspicions."

She stood there debeting on whether or not to tell Sesshomaru her real name. She decided that she would. "My name is Nashina."

Sesshomaru didn't say anything. He just turned around and left. It all made sense to him now. How could something like this happen? He wasn't sure about how it happened, but he was going to find out.

Nashina watched Sesshomaru leave without saying a word. She knew he got what he wanted, and it was only a matter of time before he would want more answers. Answers she wasn't sure she could give.

Sango and Miroku walked to the hills near the river. Neither saying very much to the other. Miroku really liked Sango, so he didn't want to say or do anything to skrew things up.

"It's a nice day out." Miroku said trying not to sound stupid.

"Yes it is. Miroku, can I ask you something? It's been botherin me for a while now."

"Sure Sango, you can ask me anything."

"Well, you see, we've been after Naraku for a really long time now. Each time we get pushed back even further. I'm very worried about Kohaku. I mean he has been under Naraku's grasp for almost as long as we've heard of him. Someitmes I feel that if we don't help him soon, he really will be gone forever because of Naraku." Sango told him.

"Listen Sango, we will get your brother back as soon as we can. I know it has been a while, and sometimes i feel the same way that you do. You just have to have faith and see what each day brings, some days are better than others. Besides Kohaku couldn't forget such a pretty face like your's." Miroku said to Sango.

Sango was so relieved by what Miroku said to her that she went up and gave him a hug. Even though he was a perverted lech, he knew how to make her feel better when she was down. "Thank you so much Miroku, you always know how to cheer me up."

"Anytime Sango. I'm glad I could help you with your problem." The two spent the rest of the day just walking aound and enjoyng eachother's company.

When they got back to the hut, Kagome asked where they were. "I was going to tell you guys that Inuyasha was okay, but when I came out you guys were long gone."

"Well, we decided to go for a walk because we knew Inuyasha was okay when we heard the two of you arguing." Sango said.

"Sorry about that guys, but Inuyasha wanted to go back out and find Nashina and I just couldn't let him do that." Kagome explained.

"Well next time, we should do it together." Miroku said.

"No! No one is going to help me because I can fight my own battles and I don't need your help." Inuyasha sharply said to them. "Besides you guys shouldn't get involved in something that isn't your concern."

"Inuyasha! Sooner or later it will become all of our problem anyway!" Kagome said, trying not to yell. "So maybe it is better if we do it together because judging by the way she beat you before, you could use the help next time."

Inuyasha didn't say anything back for fear that it would lead to much worse consequenses. He just turned his head and grunted. Kaede came into the room and suggested that they all leave, so Inuyasha could get more sleep. She knew that he was just acting tough to hide the fact that he was still tired and weak from his last battle with Nashina.

-Outside-

"Do you think that Nashina could become a real threat?" Sango asked.

Kagome and Miroku just sat there thinking for a moment. It was Miroku who answered first. "Well, judging by the way she dislikes Inuyasha so much, I would have to believe so."

"Miroku's right." Kagome said. "Plus Naraku is involved, so this is a definite threat. And it could become a major problem. But don't worry about Inuyasha. He may seem like he doesn't want our help, but deep down he is glad that we're al here for him."

-Inside-

Inuyasha was laying down. He could hear everything that was being said outside. He knew that Kagome was right, and also he knew that he would have to do something abut Nashina before things get out of hand. What he wasn't sure is why she disliked him so, and why Naraku wants her to help him.
