Chapter 5

The Search and Messages

"Inuyasha, you can't be so hard headed!", shouted Sango from the sky. "We're all worried about Kagome but setting your mind on thinking that you can find her and rescue heron your own is, well, stupid! We're going to have to do this as a team but without your coopperation it will be much harder!"

Inuyasha stopped running for the first time in about six hours. The only think that kept him going was the thought of Kagome in Naraku's grasp. It sickened him. And then there was Kikyo...

He pondered Sango's words and no matter what his will wanted to do his rationality came forth and he realized that there was no other way to find Kagome in time.

"Well then, what do you sujest we do then Sango? sit back and wait for kagome to fall from the sky, cold and lifeless?". It was clear that he was pissed, and then some.

"We begin by looking for Naraku's castle-".

"What do you think I was doing? Just going out for some freash air?".

"-and we do that by asking villagers and cooperative demons if that've seen anything unusual recently. That would be a start. And if you would just work with us then we might have a better chance of finding her", Sango stated cooly while trying to ignore the hanyou's temper. She understood well enough that he was worried sick and that he wasn't meaning to take his anger out on them, but is was a bit hard to forgive and forget every few seconds.

So on they went, asking around for even the slightest hint of Naraku. It tookfour days but fineally, to Inuyasha's and everyone else's relief, they got a lead.

After about two weeks they came across a small and very burnt village. "Oh my...", said Sango with a sad tone. Despite the burned remains, the village looked remarkably like hers before it was destroyed.

"Yes, very sad", added Miroku while rubbing Sango's back instead of her ass for once. It was a shame that this just so happened to look exactly like the village he grew up in after his fathers death.

"Lets get a move on! The sooner we find Kagome the sooner we can kill Naraku for good!" No way was he gonna let anything keep him from going into that village, the one with Naraku's scent all over it. Not even if it did reminded him of Kyede's village where he first met Kikyo.

Shippo was trembling with fear at the scent of Naraku, and the fact that his fathers pelt was hanging off the side of a near destroyed hut. How come no one noticed it? Did they not care that he was still young and not quite over his father's death?

Sango was the first to notice the pained expressions of her comrads. 'Could it be? An illusion? It's not like this is the first time we've seen a burned village. And there isn't any bodies or blood from what I can tell'.

"Look out!", shouted Inuyasha as he drew tetsusaiga, cutting something in the process.

"AHHHH! What is it?", cried out Shippo. It's not like he wasn't scared enough already.

"Naraku", Inuyasha hissed through clenched teeth.

Miroku looked puzzled. "How could it be? Wouldn't we have senced his aura?"

"Apparently not! Otherwise we would have known he was here!", shouted Inuyasha as he decapatated another one of Naraku's tenticles.

"Fiesty Inuyasha. You really miss that wench, don't you? I have come to deliver you a message so I sujest you don't try and kill me just yet", said Naraku's voice. The main part of his body hadn't been located and his voice sounded like it was coming from everywhere. Even Inuyahsa's sensative ears couldn't pick up the source.

"Oh yea? And what might that be, huh?", demanded the hanyou.

"Just that when, rather ifyou reach my castle, your going to have to choose".

"Feh! Choose what? I only want Kagome!"

"Are you so sure, Inuyasha?"

"What do you mean you basterd! Of course I'm sure!"

"What about your beloved Kikyo?"

"Wha...?"

"Just what I thought. Hehehe... See you soon, Inuyasha".

"Grr... BASTERD! I'LL KILL YOU NARAKU!", he screamed and he ran off towards Naraku's castle which was at least a four day walk away.

"Inuyasha! Wait! Save your strength!", Miroku shouted to the angrey hanyou. Inuyasha stoped and gleard downon Miroku. Damn him for trying to keep him from Kagome. His eyes start to mist redbut no one can see them."Don't you see?", continued Miroku."This is just what Naraku wants! For you to be tired and weak, easy to bring down!"

"I won't be brought down as easily as you think I will monk!" Inuyasha growled demonically."I will get Kagome back, I will rescue her, andshe will be my mate!" Hedidn't even know what he had just said. The only thing that was important was getting Kagome back, safe in his arms. How could he have failed to protect her like he had always promised?
