Sorry it took me so much time to update (to those who are actually reading this) but I had the biggest writers block and I had no idea how to finish this chapter. I wonder what is going to happen to everyone. Jaraku and Gikuri are pretty darn strange aren't they? I have no idea where elephant demons came from but it was the only thing I could come up with. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha (totally wish I did!)

A distressed Sango lost her footing and landed hard on the ground. She picked herself up and looked at what she had tripped on, a tree root.

'Of course! Just my luck, I'm secluded from my friends and I have no idea where I am! Could things get any worse?'

Sango stared into the sky with her black eyes, gazing at the smoke covered sun,

'Hang on . . . SMOKE! That means that people are nearby, which means there a village is coming up. What a relief, I've been wondering around for two days now, I am so exceedingly lonely. I wonder how everyone is, I hope they are safe. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything happened to them.'

Sango began to run; her feet were landing on the green grass of the forest floor softly. She headed in the direction of the black smoke hoping that someone in the village would be able to help her. She went through the broken light of the woodland; dodging trees and vines she jumped through a break in the trees, a treeless circle where the grass was unusually green. Sango stopped, her heart pounding against her chest and thumping in her ears. Her eyes darted around; she searched the area for anything out of place, she sighed and sat on a large rock nearby.

She placed the Hiraikotsu in front of her and stared into the blue sky wondering if she would ever see her friends again. A breeze gently blew her hair in the same direction as the leaves of the woodland trees surrounding her. She covered her black eyes from the dirt that was stirred around by the wind, her eyes began to water from the dust that had reached them and turned her back to the wind.

The wind grew stronger, blowing more dust and dirt at her, her clothes was flapping wildly and her hair was dirty and tangled. She was pushed by the force of the wind off the rock to her knees. She placed her face against her lap as she began to feel sprays of water hitting her body. Her body became tense and she cringed; she was using all her strength to keep from becoming airborne.

The wind blew with such strength that even the thick trees were nearly ripped from the ground. Sango crawled towards the Hiraikotsu, pushing with all her might to reach it before it was blown away. The wind pounded in her ears, thrusting dirt and twigs into her face and was preventing her from reaching her weapon. The wind was out of control, it became stronger and faster each second, it sent Sango flying through the air, away from the Hiraikotsu. Sango screamed desperately, it rang throughout the close village.

"I said I was sorry, InuYasha!" Kagome snapped in InuYasha's ear.

"It's not like there was anything I could really do about it!" Kagome argued, she was sick of InuYasha ignoring her.

"She is right, InuYasha and fighting isn't going to help our situation or the fact that the sacred jewel shards are gone." Miroku joined in the conversation (if you can call it that). Miroku was trying to soften InuYasha before they could talk about Sango.

"Feh." InuYasha said

'I guess he is right, it isn't Kagome's fault, I'll just have to get over- .'

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" InuYasha's thoughts were interrupted by Shippo,

"MIROKU! YOU'RE SQUISHING ME!" Shippo squealed.

"Sorry, Shippo." Miroku said as he struggled to get off his fox demon companion,

"I can't control it; I think the rope is getting tighter." Miroku grunted out. Once he was semi off Shippo, Gikuri and Jaraku walked into the black room, they walked over to their prisoners and glared at them,

"It would be appreciated if you wouldn't make so much noise!" Jaraku scolded, and not once did he break his gaze,

"Since when did we want to be appreciated by you?" InuYasha said,

'Crap! They better not tighten the rope ag-' InuYasha stopped and cringed as his body was squeezed by the rope.

"I thought that you would have learnt to have manners the last time we punished you." Gikuri said coldly, InuYasha glared at the demons but said nothing. Kagome looked at her blue arms; her circulation was being cut off,

'If I don't do something soon we're all done for it!'

Gikuri and Jaraku turned and started to walk away,

"Sorry, InuYasha." Kagome whispered,

"What are you talking ab-" InuYasha began,

"SIT BOY!" Kagome yelled and InuYasha plummeted into the ground and let out a small moan. He jumped up and yelled,

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" He was fuming with rage but Kagome looked at him and raised her eyebrow,

'Has he not noticed that he is broken free?'

InuYasha looked at her with confusion,

"What? What is your problem now?" he snapped,

"Uhh, InuYasha?" Shippo tried to tell InuYasha without letting Gikuri and Jaraku know. Miroku rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Ohhhh." Everyone stood up and shook their heads at him,

"It took you a while, my friend." Miroku patted InuYasha on the back. InuYasha growled and jumped over Gikuri and Jaraku and grabbed his tetsusaiga. Everyone watched as the tetsusaiga transformed,

"What?! How did you break free?" Gikuri stood in shock as InuYasha began to wield the tetsusaiga. InuYasha smirked as his foes allowed him to do what he wished.

"WIND SCAR!" He yelled and watched as his wind scar made its way towards Gikuri and Jaraku.

'Yes! I have them! There is no way they can avoid it, those bastards deserve it after they hurt Kagome!'

Suddenly a barrier was formed around Jaraku and Gikuri, they prevented the wind scar. Miroku, Shippo and Kagome ran over to InuYasha,

"Judging from their facial expressions," Miroku began, "I don't think they made that barrier . . ." He said thoughtfully. They all continued to watch as the barrier disappeared.

"Then if they didn't make the barrier . . ." Shippo trailed off,

"Then who did?" Kagome looked at InuYasha with curiosity. Their heads whipped around when they heard a sinister laugh come from the darkness,

"I did." The demon said as he stepped out of the shadows.

How was that? Who is this sinister demon, obviously Gikuri and Jaraku's master, but what does he look like? Don't ask me, I am still coming up with his appearance. Please Review! (I want to know how many people are actually reading this so even if you don't have any opinions leave a review anyway)
