Chapter 10 Escape

"Shippo, it's hot in here." Mesuke muttered. Shippo was a little bruised but he wasn't hurt to bad. Rocks where surrounding them on all sides. He was digging though the rocks as best as he could.

"Hang on Mesuke, I'll get us out of here. How's the cats?" Mesuke reached over and petted the cats.

"Fine, thanks to you Shippo." She closed her eyes.

"Mesuke, don't go to sleep!" Shippo said shakeing the girl by her shoulders.

"I'll try not to. But I'm so hot and sleepy." Shippo went back to digging.

Why can't I be as strong as the others? Miroku has his wind tunnel, Kagome had her bow and scared arrows, and her new powers. Inuyasha has the Tetsusaiga and Sango has the Hiraikotsu and Kirara. And all I have is stupid tricks. I can't even use them to help save us. Why? Shippo was begining to panic, not only was he hot and sleepy, but his vision was begining to blurr. Mesuke and the cats where all asleep. The oxygen was being replaced by carbon minoxide.

Rubbing his eyes he reached into his kimono shirt and pulled out his top. "Smashing Top!" He yelled useing his fox magic. The top made the hole much deeper so Shippo used it again. On the third try, he could see a little light comeing in. Useing his bare hands he made the hole much bigger. Makeing it big enough to drag out the girl. He grabbed her by the shoulders and began to pull. Pulling her out of the cave in, he went back for the kittens and cat. Carring them out of the small area. He had managed to get them out into an opening.

His vision was clearing up a little and the kittens where wakeing up. Shippo sat them down next to Mesuke. They began to mew, as Shippo sat down next to them. He fell over on his side, before he slipped into darkness, he saw two large demon feet walking up to him and the girl.

Kagome

Kagome was now hunting though the forest. She sniffed the air and at last. could smell Shippo. Running towards his scent, she yelled out Inuyasha's name. She didn't like the scent that was also comeing from the same direction as Shippo. Reaching the water fall she gasped when she saw a giant boar demon holding Shippo in one hand and the girl in the other. Kagome snarled, her eyes narrowed as she chraged at the demon.

Kicking the demon's ass in no time. It ran away as Kagome began to gently shake Shippo. He opened his eyes and looked at Kagome. Seeing her, but not really seeing who she was, he muttered "Mommy?" Kagome jurked back, surprised at what he said.

"Shippo wake up, come on now." Hearing twigs snape behinde her, she turned and looked at Inuyasha.

"How is he?"

"Alive. The girl however, she's not doing so good. I can smell carbon minoxide seeping out of her mouth. It's sicking. The cats are alive. Inuyasha, help me you can carry the girl, I'll take Shippo and the cats." She told him. Inuyasha leaded down and picked up the girl, bridal style. Kagome gathered the kittens and cats, along with Shippo into her arms. Standing up, she began to walk towards the village.

Sango and Miroku

Kirara had taken the two a little further away from the other people. Miroku was still leaning on Sango's chest, Sango had manage to make her blush go away. He was sleeping sloundly.

Miroku. Why did you jumpe infront of me to save me from that demon? You could have died. There's no way I could have gone on knowing that you dies inorder to save my life. You're such a fool.

He began to move alittle and opened his eyes. "Sango? Where are we?"

"Outside of the village." He smiled

"Do you know that you're extremely comfortable?" Sango's face turned scarlett as he rubbed his check agaist her chest. "Yes, very soft." Sango growled. Miroku smiled. "Remember, I'm wounded." Sango hit him on the head. "Talking 'bout adding insult to injury." He sighed.

"How are you feeling Miroku?" She asked him.

"Better, how long have I been out?"

"A few hours, not long. Miroku I. . ."

"Yes Sango?" She lowered her head and closed her eyes. Miroku looked at her. She rested her head against his forehead. "Mmhmm? What's wrong Sango?"

"Why..." Tears began to drip off her nose.

"Why what?"

"Why did you save me Miroku? You could have died."

"Why live when the woman I deeply - "

"Sango, Miroku, it's ok, the two demons are gone." Kagome called running up to them. Seeing Sango's and Miroku's face. "Woopsy, I'll leave now. Just thought I'd tell you." She said running back to the village. Inuyasha was waiting for her, with Shippo on his shoulder.

"Hey Kagome, why did you leave them?"

"Hush, Inuyasha, come on. Let's give them some privcy." She said pushing him towards the village. Shippo jumped on her shoulder.

"Hey, Kagome! Stop it, let me go. I said stop pushing me!" Inuyasha said fighting with her every step of the way.

"Inuyasha, sit boy." He fell and she grabbed him by the feet and started to drag him away. Inuyasha has anime swirly eyes.

"Not again..." He cried/moaned. Sango giggled and turned back to Miroku. He was tunred sideways and faceing her. Her eye twitched when she saw the look in his eyes. He had large puffy anime eyes.

"Come on Kirara..." Sango said. The demon mewed and walked down towards the village.

Adi

Damn! Why is he still following me. I thought I lost him a while back. Curse you Lord Sesshomaru. Adi was rideing the giant crow demon. It was flying over a volcano mountain range. All of the volcanos where actived and explodeing all around them. Sesshomaeru was a long distnace behind them, but gaining speed fast.

The dragons eye should be here somewhere. But where is it! If I can just find it before he does. The bird took a dive towards a river of lava. Adi jumped off of it and landed next to it. She watched the small orb of light flying towards her. She narrowed her eyes. Turning around, she began to run along the river.

Reaching a part of the river that split into two lava flows. In the middle of it, there was a large boulder. Jumping over the lava and landing on the stone. She unsheathed her fang and plunged it deep inside it. The cut she made began to glow. He's almost here, I must hurry or he will destroy this one as well as the last.

She pulled the blade out of the stone and it began to crack as a stone, the size of a human fist, glowed and the rock around it crummbled into dust. Sesshomaru landed behind her.

"Adi, stop running and accept your death." He said as he held his two fingers together and his green whip appeared.

He lashed at her, she ducked and grabbed the stone. "Don't think that you have won Sesshomaru." She called out to him as she began to run. Leaping high into the air, she landed on the crow demon. Sesshomaru, not wanting her to escape again, lashed at her a second time. Catching her in the side, and on her neck, she cried out and lowered herself closer to the bird. She looked at the deep wound. Blood was flowing rapidly, soaking her kimono and dripping onto the bird and the ground below. And the wound from her neck was deep as well. It was bleeding worde than the one on her side.

Pressing her hands againt the wounds, trying to stop the flow of blood, the crow began to retreat. He unsheathed his Tokijin and jumped up into the air, above the bird. Swinging the sword downwards, he sliced it in half. Adi jumped clear from the bird's corpse. Landing back on the ground, he sheathed Tokijin. She fell and hit the ground, hard. Laying on her side she watched his feet walking towards her. Damn, I've lost too much blood. I didn't think I'd lose so much blood so fast. She touched her forehead with her hand. My vision's a bit hazy. But do I have enough strength to escape?

She looked at the demon that was looming over her. He reached down, Adi tried to swat his hand away but failed. He grasped her throat and picked her up off the ground and above his head. She grabbed his hand and tried to pry it away but she couldn't.

His grip tightened and Adi cried out. "Eaahh!"

"Resign your self to dead and enter the Netherworld, Adi." He said coldly, his grip was almost stopping her breath completely. Adi sank her claws into his arm and with her other hand, sank her claws into his check as she slapped him. A throbbing pressure in her neck was building. It was excruciating painful.

She looked at him and smirked "you wish" He tighten his grip much harder, this time he completely stopped her breatheing. She kicked at him and struggled to free herself from his grasp. Noo! I can't die yet, not like this. . . she opened her mouth and made a odd sounding howl before she went limp. Her arms fell to her side and Sesshomaru sensed a demon comeing up from behind him fast, tossed her aside and unsheathed his Tokijin.

The demon appeared next to Adi and touched her badly brused neck. He turned his rage filled eyes towards Sesshomaru. "How dare you harm M'lady. You will pay for hurting her so badly." He reached down and lifted her bridal style. "I will get avenge her, but I am a little relieved that I arived before you dispatched her. I will be back, mark my words." He truned his back to Sesshomaru and vanished.

"So, one of her servants. Adi, you may have escaped me, but I did help you a little. At least I was kind enough to stop the blood flow from your neck."

Kagome and Inuyasha

"Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you see Sango's and Miroku's faces?"

"No, why are you asking?"

"Nothing." She sighed Gees, what's with him. He's as thick headed as ever. The idoit. She giggled to herself.

The two where sitting next to a river outside Keade's village. Kagome was sitting up and Inuyasha was laying down. Kagome sighed and layed down next to him. He placed his hand on her head and started to pet her. Kagome laughed at this.

"So now I'm the one being treated like a dog am I?" She began to rub his ears. He growled at first but his eyes started to close. Kagome burst out laughing when he started to kick his leg. Inuyasha grinned.

Kagome was laughing so hard that tears began to pour. Inuyasha anime sweat dropped. "What's so funny?" She shook her head, holding her hand against her mouth to stop herself from laughing hysterically.

A breeze played with their hair, Inuyasha sniffed at the wind. He subcounicesly growled. Kagome looked at him. Inuyasha could smell something famillar but he couldn't place it. Kagome stood up. "I what to go back home, I'll be back tomorrow kay?"

"Fine, just don't make me come and get you. And be sure to bring back some food." Kagome agreed and walked towards the well. Standing above, she looked inside than behind her. It felt like something was watching her. Shruging off the feeling, she jumped into the well.
