A/N: sorry it's been so long since I've updated on this story, but some stories just take a while to get more ideas for, but anyway hope you enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 4

"Come on, open the door," Inuyasha yelled as he beat on the temple door.

Kikyo grabbed his arm, "Inuyasha," she said wanting him to calm down. Sango stood behind them taking glances every few seconds behind them, feeling an eery coldness in the air.

Inuyasha picked up on Kikyo's pleading tone, "This isn't the time to be polite," he said as calm as possible to his love before kicking the door with his foot.

Kikyo grabbed his arm again, "It's still a holy place and should be treated as such."

Inuyasha let out a low growl of annoyance as he turned back to the door. Finally it opened and without invite or even seeing who opened the door, Inuyasha hurried in. Kikyo and Sango followed him in a more discrete manner.

Since Sango was the last to enter she closed the temple door and turned to see who had let them in. Before them stood who looked to be a priest in training, a young monk who wore common robes of an apprentice. He had dark attractive hair that ended in a small ponytail behind his head and gorgeous blue eyes.

"Stay back demon," he warned holding up his staff in front of him.

Inuyasha rose one eyebrow and looked at the monk as if he were crazy. Kikyo held up her hand, "Young monk this half demon means you no harm."

The monk, Miroku, looked Inuyasha up and down uncertainly, "Are you sure he hasn't brainwashed you so that I may save you from his dastardly evil ways?" he asked holding his staff threateningly in front of Inuyasha.

"No," Kikyo laughed a little, "it's alright."

"Are you sure you don't need saving," he now looked at Kikyo with a hopeful expression.

Kikyo nodded her answer, implying that they were safe with him.

Miroku lowered his staff and sighed miserably, "How disappointing," he mumbled so no one heard him.

"Look we don't have the time for all of this," Inuyasha grumbled, "do you know what's going on or not?" he decided to get straight to the point.

"You mean all the attacks on helpless victims, of course I know," and with that Miroku went over to his sitting mat and sat back down comfortably by the fire.

"You mean you know and you're just sitting here," Inuyasha said with shock and frustration in his tone.

"Yes," Miroku simply answered.

Miroku looked up at the travelers, "What is a half demon, a priestess and princess doing here anyway?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "Duh we need your help with whatever's going on," he then let out another annoyed noise, tightening his fist in the process.

Kikyo quickly made her way to one of the sitting mats and sat down before Inuyasha could do damage, "Please will you help us?"

"I can't," Miroku shook his head.

"What do you mean," barked Inuyasha, "what kind of monk are you."

Miroku shot a look at Inuyasha, "A monk in training, the wisest move for me right now is to lay low until my master returns."

Inuyasha glared at Miroku, "What if your master is already dead or worse?"

Silence filled the room. Miroku looked as though he was thinking about this.

"I'm sorry, I do have things to do here."

"If something isn't done you won't even have this place to worry about," Inuyasha tried once more.

Miroku took a deep breath and looked away. Inuyasha realized from this reaction that he hadn't changed his mind.

"Fine, but when I'm done saving you from whatever this is, you better be grateful monk," he turned to leave, as he was about to open the door he said, "Kikyo you and Sango need to stay here with this coward, it's the safest place for you now."

Kikyo stood, "No," she said causing both Inuyasha and Sango to look at her.

"I'm going to, Inuyasha I can help, you may need my spiritual powers, please let me go with you," Kikyo said.

Inuyasha gazed into her eyes. He could tell by them that she wasn't only doing this to save others, but because she was in love with him, the evidence written all in them.

Inuyasha turned to Sango, "Stay here princess, this is something you shouldn't get involved in."

Sango frowned slightly. She breathed in courage and let out with, "Let me come, my father taught me some fighting moves since our clan were brave warriors, please I can do more than my princess duties, I want to prove that," she stood rather confident.

"Whatever, your life," Inuyasha said.

Miroku finally stood, "Then I shall go."

Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched, "What!?"

"Well I have thought it over and it would be wrong of me as a monk to neglect such need for my assistance," he said eyeing Sango.

Inuyasha groaned, he knew what assistance he wanted to do, "Fine, but we need to figure out what's going on and soon, this is getting to creepy for me."
