Lina: I'm back! Sorry it took me so long to put this up, gomen!

Inu: She was eating turkey and sleeping.

Lina: That I was... heh, I sound like Kenshin! Okay, here is next Inu chapter! Enjoy!

Inuyasha Dark Night Chapter 9: Lost

"Shippou!" Kagome cried. He was unconscious, and Miroku was barely concious. The leader motioned again for the group to fire.

The arrows shot at the group, leaving them unable to do anything but dodge. The arrows came from all different sides.

"Damn, we can't move," Inuyasha growled. He blocked an arrow from hitting Kagome, who's eyes widened. She drew her bow and arrow. The men stopped firing for a moment. One of the men laughed and shot at her. She shot an arrow at the oncoming one, and it broke in two. The man stopped laughing.

"You better stop this. Inuyasha is a good person now, he would not hurt anyone!" Kagome exclaimed. Miroku looked at Sango and she looked back at him.

"Well, I wouldn't say that," Miroku mumbled, smiling, holding on to his leg. The leader of the men came forward.

"How can you say that? He destroyed our village, wiping it out in the fire that started in the shrine where the sacred jewel was. The fact that he even tried to steal the jewel is fact that he is evil. Plus, he sent a priestess to her death," the leader explained. Inuyasha's eyes were covered by shadow, he clenched his fist.

"That was..." he started. Kagome looked at him worriedly.

"You must be killed!" The leader cried. Miroku and Sango put up their staff and boomerang.

"I'm not ready to die!" Inuyasha yelled. He punched the leader in the face. The other soldiers did not fire, since their commander had been knocked out. Sango laughed.

"That's more like it," she stated. Miroku smiled. The men grabbed their leader and ran off. Miroku fell on his knees, the poison was reaching him.

"Miroku, are you okay?" Sango asked. He nodded slowly.

"We should be concerned for Shippou, he got the worst of it," Miroku replied. Kagome was already trying to wake him up, but no response. She gently pulled out the arrow. His face was slightly blue and the rest of it was pale. The group decided to go and find a place to rest and to heal wounds. The medicine was not helping Shippou at all, but it helped Miroku almost right away.

Lina: Okay, I know this will be sad in the next few chapters, so bare with me!

Inu: You're evil.

Lina: I know!
