Sorry for the late post. I've seen a whole bunch of hits, but I got like only a couple reviews for it. I'd like to see more reviews and requests for anything you'd like to see are now accepted!!! So put in something you'd like to see and I'll see where it could fit!! And, just so ya know, I don't own Inuyasha and flames will be used to roast the marshmallows I make for smores. You're welcome to have some smores though, but for now, here's the next chapter!!

"I'm going to the scout for next village to see about any leads on Naraku. I won't be long." Miroku said pulling away from the rest of the group, who was slowing down to stop for lunch. Kagome nodded happily as Inuyasha threw down some brush and wood to begin a fire. Shippo called out to Miroku that he was coming with him to "keep him in check", leaving Kagome and Inuyasha alone. Kirara was off to the river, probably fishing for her lunch.

"Inuyasha, what are we gonna do?" Inuyasha huffed and jumped up into a tree as Kagome lit a match to the fire.

"I'm not doing anything, and you shouldn't either. Just leave it be. We'll catch back up with her when we find Naraku. So don't worry over it, Kagome, or I'll send you back through the well until that happens." Kagome frowned at his reply.

"I just can't understand your pacifist nature about the situation. What if something really bad happens to her? She doesn't have Kirara. She's all alone! What if the tables were turned Inuyasha? What if it was me that left? What would you do?" Inuyasha glared darkly at Kagome, sending a cold shudder down her spine.

"You know exactly what I'd do. Sango's strong. She can take care of herself. She knows what she's getting into and she's prepared to handle it. She wants to protect us from unnecessary attacks, whether by her hand or Naraku's." Kagome, upset by Inuyasha's words, turned away and headed towards the river.

"I'm going to find Kirara." She stormed off, leaving Inuyasha to his thoughts.

"That darn Inuyasha! Why can't he be more worried about her? I know she can take care of herself and all, but she shouldn't have gotten that upset. If she's still in that state, it can blur her senses. She could get hurt and no one would be able to help." She kicked a stone in the path, sending it over a small hill just ahead. She heard a hiss, and then saw Kirara emerge from the other side, a large fish in her mouth.

"I'm sorry Kirara! Did I hit you when I kicked that stone?" Kirara mewed through the fish in her mouth, causing Kagome to chuckle a bit.

"You miss Sango, don't you?" The demon cat whined quietly.

"Don't worry though, we'll find her. She wouldn't leave us for too long." She went to pet the cat, but a strong wind suddenly overtook them. It threatened to blow Kagome away, and Kirara dropped her fish and stood in front of the miko, protecting her from the powerful gust. Inuyasha jumped through the tops of some nearby trees with his sword drawn.

"Kagome, stay back. Kagura, show yourself!" The wind sorceress appeared from behind a tree across the river, chuckling to herself.

"So Inuyasha, what brings you to this area? In search of Naraku still? Or is your group still distraught over the disappearance of your slayer friend?" Kagome gasped.

"How do you know about Sango?" Kagura smirked at Kagome's startled response.

"I know much more than you think. She was attacked just a couple of days ago by a demon from the mainland." Inuyasha growled at the demon sorceress.

"Even if she was attacked, she would win no sweat."

"I wouldn't be so sure of that, half-demon. Just before I left, she was losing terribly to a bull demon named Niu Wang. She didn't look like she would last much longer, especially with the way she was holding her shoulder." Kagome let out another worried gasp.

"No. That's a lie."

"If it is, then she had gained outside help, but seeing as you all didn't know about it, I doubt it is a false statement. I just wish I could've stayed to watch it all play out."

"Take that back Kagura." Everyone turned to find Miroku standing a short distance away, silent rage apparent in his dark eyes.

"Monk, I thought you would have kept looking for her. Surprising." She said, an evil smugness beginning to cross her face. Miroku sneered at Kagura and went for his wind tunnel.

"What is your business here Kagura? Or did you come just to perish early?" The wind sorceress chuckled and held up her fan in defense.

"I didn't come to just taunt you, you know. If I wanted to, I could've killed you all in an instant, but I have an important message from Naraku, so listen closely." Everyone was taken aback by this statement, and was, needless to say, listening intently to what Kagura had to say.

"Naraku will be summoning you. When it is, even I don't know. He says to be ready. He is expecting to create a complete sacred jewel when he meets with you." Inuyasha growled and jumped at Kagura, moving to strike her with the Wind Scar. Kagura, however, quickly blew a burst of dirt into his face, temporarily blinding him. She then took her leave, leaving the group with stunned expressions. A deathly silence enveloped the group. Inuyasha, not knowing exactly what to say, decided to say the first thing that came to mind.

"Well, looks like we have some work to do."

You know what to do! Please send me some reviews, at least 7. That's all I ask, cause I know I get many times more than that in hits. Thanks to all that have reviewed to far, and please keep them coming! Remember, you can now put in what you'd like to see happen in this story, and I'll see if I can make it happen here!!!
