Chapter II

It was nearing the end of the battle and something stirred or rather someone. A fox demon instantly came running over. Concern clearly in his eyes as he came upon the stirring figure. "Miroku!" Shippo cried "Are you alright?"

"I think so Shippo," grunted Miroku as he got into a sitting position. "Oh no Sango!"

The two of them rushed over to the still form of Sango. Kirara already trying to wake her up. Miroku got there first and was bending over Sango unaware of the battle raging on around them. " Sango, wake up Sango" cried Miroku as he tried to wake her up. Just then something explodes close by. "Shippo we have to get Sango out of here. Can see to it?"

"You can count on me" puffed out the young fox.

"I'm going to help Inuyasha"

Off ran Miroku in search of Inuyasha leaving Shippo to look after, the love of his life, Sango. Meanwhile Inuyasha was having some trouble of his own. He spotted Sesshomaru a while ago and couldn't find Kagome anywhere. Then he heard his name being called, looked over and saw Miroku running towards him. "Miroku" called back Inuyasha "I thought I told you guys to stay put."

"We thought better of it." replied Miroku as he fought, alongside Inuyasha, demon after demon.

"Where's Kagome I can't find her"

"Don't know I can't find her anywhere either. Sango is pretty beat up though."

"Are you two still alive? I thought you would be dead by now." came a cold voice from behind them.

Inuyasha whipped around "What can I say I thought you were dead. So I guess we're even." he growled.

"Always was a funny one weren't you Inuyasha." snide Sensei

"Who are you?" questioned Miroku

Sensei smiled a smile most evil "Haven't you been listening, apparently, I'm dead." With that Sensei rushed forward toward Inuyasha and whispered "Here's something to remember me by." Then he stabbed Inuyasha near the heart. Wide-eyed and stunned all Inuyasha could do was gasp before falling to the ground.

"Inuyasha!" screamed Miroku as he hurried to his friend's side. "You'll pay for this." he yelled but when he turned around the mysterious man had vanished.

Meanwhile in the shadows surveying all was Kagura. "How interesting." She mused to herself and with that she took off towards Naraku.

A dark figure is walking in the woods brooding over recent events. We find out it is Sensei. The shadows of the forest cover most of his tall figure. He stops and leans his back against a tree and mutters to himself "So he's not alone anymore." He smiles an evil grin "This is going to be fun." and breaks out laughing. Stops laughing, "He should know better, the fool, he'd knew I'd be back." With that he walk off into the shadows.

"Who was that!" ask Shippo as he ran over to Miroku and Inuyasha.

"No time for that now. Inuyasha is hurt bad, run, get Kaede!" yelled out Miroku. It was now the beginnings of early evening and it was the night of the new moon. Miroku knew he had to work fast to save his friend. Inuyasha becoming human didn't help matters and only made things worse. "Hold on Inuyasha." With that he started carrying Inuyasha towards Kaede's village.
