Chapter 2
"Miroku, he's been gone for an awful long time. Maybe something happened!" Sango looked up from her two-tail demon-cat friend, Kirara to look at Miroku.
"They're fine, Kgome is probably gonna go to school and InuYasha is most likely at her house taking advantage of all the present time items. Trust me; you have nothing to worry about." the monk smiled then stepped off towards a village.
"Where are you going?" the little fox demon glared at the lecher as he replied, "I'm going to the village and talk with Lady Kaede." Shippo got up and followed Miroku to the village while Sango picked up her hirakotsu and headed towards the river with Kirara right beside her. While they began to leave, a pair of blue eyes shown through the darkness of the forest then slowly disappeared.

"Kagome! Kagome!" a sudden voice called out her name. She turned around to find a guy walking towards her with a package in his hands.
"Hi Hojo." Kagome mildly smiled at the brown-haired figure. He smiled back and happily handed her the gift.
"What's this?" she looked down at the little packages inside the box.
"It's tea and there's different kinds incase you have a favorite. There are kinds like jasmine, green tea, herbal, chamomile, and more." She sincerely smiled until he had finally asked her a question, "So are you feeling well enough to go out with me tomorrow?" Kagome's expression slowly changed as she tried to think of what to say. She didn't actually want to but she had felt so badly for canceling him so many previous times.
"Actually Hojo, I can't make it tomorrow. I…ummm…have to …go visit my relatives." His face looked slightly disappointed but he continued to smile and say, "Okay then, maybe another time. See you later, Kagome!" Hojo walked off just as Yura, Ayumi, and Eri started coming towards her. InuYasha was no where to be found so she decided to walk with them.
"Hey Kagome, what did Hojo want?" Eri looked at the gift then at Kagome.
"Well he gave me these packages of tea and asked me out." Kagome simplied replied as she put the tea in her backpack.
"Did you say yes?" Ayumi stated as they began to walk. Kagome tried not to look at them as she said, "Actually I told him I had to go visit some relatives." Yura glanced at her before saying, "Kagome, you should really go out with Hojo. He's better than that two-timing boyfriend of yours." Kagome ignored the last part of that statement and mumbled back, "I really don't want to go anyway." There was an awkward silence before Ayumi decided to change the subject.

InuYasha came back through the well to find nobody there. All was quiet but he didn't care. InuYasha just jumped into the tree near the village holding tetsuiga firmly in his hand. He sat there for a few minutes until he recognized a familiar scent. Following the scent, he ended up at the waterfall by the river.
'I can tell Sango and Kirara have been here but that's not the scent I'm picking up.' Suddenly white soul collectors appeared swirling around until the priestess they were with was in site.
'Kikyo!' he said to himself. The priestess merely glanced at him before just turning a different direction. InuYasha stood quietly until he decide to ask her something.
"Kikyo." She stopped and looked at him, "Where are you going?" Kikyo turned around to face in the direction of the half-demon.
"What reason do you have for me to tell you that? What does it matter to where I'm going?" InuYasha growled angrily and yelled across the river, "I was just asking, wench." Her expression didn't change.
"That does not involve you therefore that is none of you concern." She continued to walk a little bit until she stopped again. Without turning towards him, she softly stated, "I will tell you there is a strong demonic aura around here." With that, she and her soul collectors vanished deep inside the forest.
'I know. I'm sense it up too."

Kagome got home in time to pack up on supplies.
"Okay, food, medical supplies, homework…" she went through her stuff until she found some pictures that had the head cuts out in the shape of hearts.
'Those were the pictures I used to put in InuYasha's locket. It was the reason he didn't get frozen in time but before that I thought he didn't want it. I'll just never understand him.' Running downstairs she met her mother, where she again had another box full of food for lunch. Kagome thanked her mom then ran to the doorway of the shrine. Surprised not to see InuYasha there she merely thought he would be waiting for her on in the feudal era. Hopping over the side of te well, she floated down through flasheds of blue. Softly she landed at the bottom of the well. Climbing the side of the wall, she threw her backpack first before swinging her leg over the ledge and pulling herself up. All was nice and breezy until there were yells and the sounds of trees cracking then tumbling over. Kagome saw a little boy run out of the direction of where the loud noise was coming from.
"Help, please! Somebody help me!" the little boy stumbled towards Kagome then hugged her leg until a swarm of demons busted through the forest. Kagome gasped as she remembered that she didn't have her bow and sacred arrows. As the demons came speeding in their direction, they both screamed.
"Kagome, look out! Hirakotsu!" she looked up to see a giant hirakotsu spinning through the air slicing through the demons near her. It didn't help because there were still demons on their sides. InuYasha leaped into the air then pierced the skin in his palm with his claws.
"BLADES OF BLOOD!" he threw his blood, which turned into blades, at the demon and they cut them causing them to disinagrate. InuYasha landed next to Kagome and the little boy pulling them down under him. He yelled up, "Miroku now!"
"Okay, WIND TUNNEL!" Miroku took his beads off his right hand to open a vortex that sucked the demons away never to be released again. Sango was holding on to Kirara above the demons while InuYasha held Kagome and the child. Once the demons all vanished into his hand, Miroku wrapped his beads around his wrist once again.
"Are you all right?" InuYasha looked at Kagome until she nodded. She looked down to glare at the little boy that had incredibley bright blue eyes.
"Who's the little brat under you?" InuYasha stood up to look at the child. With a aconfused look, Kagome simply said, "I don't know. He just ran to me when those demons attacked." The little boy let go of Kagome then quietly said, "My name is Fusuri. I'm from another village near the river. I was wandering around when I saw demons heading towards the village. I was really scared and ran but the demons came after me. That's when I saw this bright blue light and I thought this lady could help." He looked up at Kagome. InuYasha smirked and said a stupid, "Kagome is useless…well, when she doesn't have her bow and sacred arrows." Kagome let out a "Hey!" before turning back to Fusuri.
"I think we should take you to the other village, just to be safe." Fusuri looked nervously at them then replied, "That's not necessary, I will head back to my village but I do want to give you this." The young boy pulled out a small pendant and handed it to Kagome.
"What's this?" she questioned as she passed it through her fingers.
"It's a special pendant that is suppose to protect you from bad stuff like demons. You spend most of your time fighting demons so I thought it might help you." Fusuri took the pendant out her hand and told her to kneel down. She did so and he placed it around her neck.
"Don't ever take it off! Okay?" Kagome nodded and he hugged her.
"Wait…" Kagome yelled in the direction that he ran towards but he was too far.
"Let him go. If he wants to get himself killed, let him. He's not our problem." InuYasha huffed and crossed his arms.
"InuYasha!" Kagome scowled at him until Sango, Miroku, and the large transformed Kirara walked towards them.
"Are you guys all right?" Sango asked, followed by Miroku who questioned, "And who was that little boy?" Kagome shrugged her shoulders then picked up the pendant that was around neck.
"We're not that sure." Was her only reply, as she fiddled with the pendant through her fingers.
-----
Fusuri continued to run until he finally reached a cave. A pair of green eyes starred back at him until a voice grumbled, "Did you give the priestess the pendant?" Fusuri nodded hi head and replied with a, "Yes! Everything went as planned."
"Very good." The low voice mumbled then walked deeper into the cave with the little boy following behind.
A/N: Sorry this chapter took so long. For some reason my fingers have been really messed up and I can't type as fast or type the right letters. Anyway I think the chapters might be a little long so it's probably going to be about 9 chapters. I will post the next chapters between the next couple of days.
