Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

Inuyasha collapsed, still holding Taka and now they both lay unconscious on the ground.

"Inuyasha!" Sango threw the Hirakotsu at some vines heading their way.

Isamu snarled. The black aura surrounded him again. He burst out. His fangs were longer then in his second form as were his claws. This time he stood on his hind legs and he looked really muscular. The purple strips were darker. He snarled viciously. He slashed through more vines. Miroku went in front of Inuyasha and Taka and hit the vines away from them.

"Foolish monk!" Ayaka jumped from the flower she say on and pulled a leaf from her hair.

The leaf turned into a sword and she ran on some vines Chika sent. Isamu snarled and jumped.

"Don't look away," Isamu snarled in a booming voice.

Chika looked up just as Isamu reached her. Vines moved to protect her but Isamu slashed through them. Chika cried out as Isamu's large claws slashed through her small body. Ayaka gasped and looked back. The vines beneath her disappeared. Chika lay on the ground dead. Her eyes still open and blank. Ayaka growled. She flipped back onto her flower and disappeared. Kagome ran over to Inuyasha and Taka.

"Oh kami," she gasped.

"I'll get your medical kit Kagome," said Shippo as he ran over to get the white box.

He ran over with the medical kit and Kagome took it and got to work. She was about to bandage Inuyasha.

"Iie," he opened his eyes, "help Taka first," he whispered hoarsely.

Kagome nodded and began to bandage Taka up. Isamu transformed back and jumped on Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha smiled and passed out. Isamu licked his cheek and nudged him.

"When Isamu attacked Chika... I heard a voice," Kagome said as she fixed Taka up, "Who was it?"

"It was Isamu," said Kuragari patted Isamu, "only when he is in third form he can speak... when he's in his second he can speak to people using telepathy."

Kagome tightened the bandages around Taka's chest. Taka winced slightly. Kagome finished with Taka and went to work bandaging Inuyasha.

"We have to find a place for them to be safe," said Miroku, "somewhere, where Ayaka will have no power."

"The mountains?" suggested Sango.

"Hmm... the mountains... all rock no plants. Good work love," Miroku wrapped his arm around Sango's waist.

Sango rolled her eyes.

xXx Naraku's castle xXx

Ayaka burst from the ground and walked up the steps.

"Naraku!" she exclaimed when she seen her master standing before her, "You didn't tell me that cat had that kind of power!"

"I did not know Ayaka," Naraku replied calmly.

"Now Chika's dead!" Ayaka looked at him furiously.

"There is nothing I can do about that," Naraku turned.

Ayaka growled and walked a separate way.

xXx Inuyasha and others xXx

"Hachi! Take us to the mountains!" Miroku ordered as he beat the racoon.

"Alright!" yelled Hachi as he put the leaf on his head.

Kuragari lay Taka on Hachi and Miroku dragged Inuyasha on. Hachi flew towards the mountains.

"Miroku-sama," said Hachi as he looked at the monk on his head, "there is an abandoned hut up there... It's in good condition and I was wondering if that's where you want to be dropped off."

"Hai, Hachi," Miroku nodded, "that will be good."

Hachi flew into the mountains and landed near a hut.

"There you go Miroku," he said as he landed.

Miroku and Kuragari took Inuyasha and Taka off him and Hachi flew away. There were already two small mats on the floor of the place. Inuyasha was laid on one while Taka was on the other. Kagome changed their bandages and was about to put their kimono tops back on.

"We better clean them first," Kuragari pointed out.

Kagome looked at their kimono's. Soaked in blood.

"You're right," she stood, "me and Sango will find somewhere to wash them," she pushed the mat covering the door out of the way and walked out.

Kuragari followed Kagome out.

"Sango-chan!" Kagome called, "come with me to wash Inuyasha and Taka's kimono tops."

"Okay," Sango stood from where she sat and followed.

Kuragari sat next to Miroku. Isamu walked into the hut and fell asleep on Taka's chest, like he was guarding her. Kirara followed Kagome and Sango. Inuyasha groaned in pain and opened his eyes a bit.

'Taka!' he thought as he sat up abruptly.

He growled in pain and held his chest. Kuragari twitched his ear and turned.

"Inuyasha!" he called from where he sat.

"Nani!" Inuyasha called painfully.

"Get some rest Taka's fine."

"I don't need any rest!"

Miroku sighed.

"I'll take care of this," he said as he stood.

Kuragari watched Miroku get up. He walked to the hut.

"Nan...!" Inuyasha was cut off.

WHACK!

There was a thump and Miroku walked out with a grin.

"He'll be resting for awhile now," he said with a grin.

Kuragari laughed.
