Sorry for the long update. Anyways, there's a part where InuYasha starts to day dream about something that happened in the past. But that something is something I made up. It's nothing that happened in the series. Hope you like it!

Chapter 5: A brief sight

It was night, and as InuYasha walked toward the hut, he could see Kirara sitting in the distance, staring at the forest ahead of her. The half breed could tell that the cat demon was up to something, as if something was on her mind. He felt the same.

InuYasha walked up to her and stopped. "You feel it close, too," he started, "don't you, Kirara."

She just looked up at him then back ahead.

InuYasha looked ahead as well. It feels closer. Closer than ever. The half demon started walking forward when he realized the cat demon was following him. He stopped and looked at her, then at the hut. It was light in there, which was a sign that everyone was still awake. "Stay with them, Kirara. I'm gonna go figure this out."

She ran to the hut.

InuYasha looked ahead, and started walking forward into the forest. He walked and walked, but still couldn't find anything. Yet he still sensed it near and he wasn't going to give up.

After about ten minutes of searching, InuYasha stopped walking. "Come on out you coward!" he shouted.

It was silent.

"I know you're out there! I know what you did to the lakes. You're sick, you know that! You might as well come out now. If you don't I'll hunt you down and kill you!"

Still silent.

InuYasha still stood there silently, looking around for whatever it was he was looking for. His ears twitched when he heard a strange sound. He quickly turned to the left, and heard bushes. Now he knew for sure it was here.

The half demon started walking forward toward the bush. He suddenly heard the noise again and stopped. It's right in front of me. I know it is! He started to walk even closer, but after two steps, a big bunch of gas came out into his face.

InuYasha gasped at what he saw and covered his face so he wouldn't breathe it in. More gas came out, so he started running away as fast as he could. As he ran he could feel his eyes burning. Poison gas. It went into my eyes.

Sango sat in the hut petting Kirara, who was on her lap, as Miroku leaned against the wall, resting. Kagome shared her ipod with Shippo as they both had an ear plug in their ear. Shippo went excited at the sound of the music.

InuYasha walked in and sat down, silent the whole time. Miroku opened his eyes and looked at him, as Sango continued petting Kirara, yet giving him a curious look. Kagome looked at InuYasha with concern as Shippo was still into the music.

The half demon just stood there staring into space. It was quiet until Kagome sat in front of him and said his name. "InuYasha...are you ok?"

InuYasha blinked and finally saw her in front of him. He then saw Shippo come up, too, and the others.

"What happened?" Sango asked.

Kagome could then tell that InuYasha's eyes were red. "InuYasha," she started, "you're eyes are red."

"It's nothing," said InuYasha. "But...whatever it was....I found it."

Kagome said nothing.

"You mean the lakes?" Sango asked.

He nodded and looked back at Kagome, who was still out of, probably because she was worried about InuYasha's eyes. "Kagome..."

She snapped out.

"I think you're right. I didn't sense any humans, animals, or demons. But whatever it was it had poison gas. It might be....aliens."

Kagome nodded as Shippo gave a curious look.

"Then we must look for it," said Miroku as he stood up.

"No," said InuYasha. "It left after I ran away from it. We need to get some rest and search tomorrow."

The monk nodded and sat back down, and Sango lay down.

InuYashalooked back at Kagome and Shippo. "Kagome, did you say you had something to help us?"

"Yes," Kagome replied.

"Show it to me tomorrow. I think I'll really need you."

"Right." Kagome picked up Shippo and lay down to go to sleep.

InuYasha just sat there, thinking about what he just said. He wasn't sure if he made a huge mistake letting Kagome stay. She could be in real danger.

The half demon started to think about what happened the last time he let Kagome help.

Start of flashback:

"Where to now?" InuYasha asked.

"Keep going, Master InuYasha," Meoga said as he was in his shoulder.

InuYasha started running. "Is she injured?"

"It depends on what you call injured."

End of flashback:

Ok that's the end of the chapter. Please review and let me know what you think. I'll up asap!
