Chapter 3

Inuyasha and Sango ran through the castle at top speed, not daring to look back through the horror behind them. Their only option was to flee; if they stayed in hiding much longer it would be over for them.

"Come on, this way," Sango whispered as she showed him a shortcut to the outside.

Leading the way, Sango ran towards the exit, but froze at the doorway as she saw one of the horrid creatures blocking the way. Her eyes grew wide and her mouth hung, she couldn't speak, it was as if the creature was binding her to the spot.

From behind Inuyasha leaped in the air and behind the creature, slicing it into bits with his pointy claws

"Come on, it won't stay that way for long," he told Sango taking her by the arm and leading her outside. After she snapped out of her state Sango ran along with Inuyasha to their destination.

They kept running faster and faster through the evil air outside until they finally reached clearer atmosphere. Sango panted, "What is going on," she demanded.

"We really don't have time princess, the sooner we get to the monk's temple, the better off we'll be," Inuyasha explained as he started walking. Sango gulped, she had never been so scared in her life and she noticed sweat sliding down her face.

Despite needing answers and not knowing what was going on, somehow she trusted this Inuyasha, even though she had never met him and he looked different than an ordinary human, she followed him, determined to prolong her life.

Deeper they made their way through the desolate region, destroyed by war and the uproar from the creatures.

Inuyasha saw a figure coming towards them, someone he knew and loved, he stopped shocked, wondering if it was who he thought it was.

Sango stopped behind him frowning, confused at him then followed his gaze towards the figure who seemed to be running.

Inuyasha's eyes grew as he noticed who it was and to make things worse some of the creatures followed after her.

"Kikyo," he yelled and ran as fast as he could towards her, Sango stood her ground.

"Inuyasha," she cried tears running down her face as the creatures came closer to her. Inuyasha's hand reached out for her as he kept his determined speed.

Inuyasha snarled and leaped into the air and behind his love, blocking the creatures from her.

With a vengeful thrust he managed to slice all the creatures with one swing. He turned around to see Kikyo had stopped and was heading towards him.

"Kikyo," Inuyasha said as he went to her and embraced her.

"They destroyed everything and I tried shooting them with arrows, but they were too quick," Kikyo sobbed into his red kimono as he rubbed her back soothingly.

"It's ok, I'll protect you," Inuyasha whispered then grabbed her hand, "Look at me," he told her and she slowly brought her teary eyes to meet his, "We have to go, there's a monk not to far from here, he should be able to help us," he explained leading her over to Sango.

"This is Princess Sango, she was the only survivor of the castle to the east," Inuyasha introduced.

Before they could say a word to each other Inuyasha took Kikyo by the hand again and ordered them to follow him to safety.
