Inuyasha crouched down low and Hiashi crossed his blades. A huge shadow shot toward them with lightning speed. Hiashi's eyes widened, he grabbed Inyasha out of the way and...blackness.

Inuyasha woke up with a huge throbbing pain in his side. He let a fustrated moan out of his nose, "I-Inuyasha...you're awake..." the hanyou looked up to find the mysterious raven haired boy next to him, he was in a cross legged position. "urgh, Kagome? Sango? MIroku? W-what about Shippo?" Hiashi smiled, "They're fine, just playing in the snow." Inuyasha's face contorted into a confused, "Snow? BUt it's summer..." he got up, ignoring the sharp pain doing so. He stopped at the bamboo screen, pure white snow fell lightly on the curtain, the settled in a clump of soft flowers that grew gaily near the door. "Inuyasha...Welcome to Kamui, the Land of Snow."

Kagome and Sango chased after Shippo while Miroku watched at the side lines, he was smiling a sad smile, "I wonder how Inuyasha is doing." he said to himself, not realizing that the Hanyou was right behind him, "I'm fine, Houshi" Miroku turned his torso, "Inuyasha! You're okay!" he turned to Hiashi, "Thank you." the monk siad with the most sincerity, HIashi smiled, "No problem. You're lucky Kagura was there to kill that yami youkai." Inuyasha sharply turned his head, "Kagura?" Hiashi cocked his head, "Yeah, what about her?" Miroku raised an eyebrow, "Kagura is an incarnation of Naraku, our enemy." This time, it was Hiashi's turned to have hs cheerfulness sucked out of him, he breathed out his mouth, letting his hot breath cloud into crystals, "So...that's what it is, huh?" his red eyes turned dark violet, "We have to destroy this...NAraku?" Miroku nodded, INuyasha growled at the hanyou's name, Kagome held up the nearly complete Shikon No Tama, "He's after this, the Jewel of Four Souls, it is a very powerful jewel that gives anyone extreme power, but...there is this one shard." she took it out of miroku's outer purple robe that was hanging out to dry, the shikon jewel shard had a grayish black aura around the pink. Hiashi winced as the evil power licked around the drew one of his slender katanas at his side, pointing the sharp blade at the pink shard, a black flame ignited within the hard steel, whipping it's tendrils of flames. It suddenly became a roaring black hole at the end, sucking in shadows and darkness. Thin tendrils form the aura began to be sucked into the portal to nothingness. Finally, the whole shard was as pure as the water that inuyasha drank from the clear stream. It shone a lovely pink and INuyasha's mouth was wide open while ramen hung from one of his canines. Hiashi sighed, "It's a powerful skill that I've learned during my time in "The Dark"" Miroku raised an eyebrow, Hiashi smirked, "Hell, underworld, whatever you wanna call it." Inuyasha pouted his lips, Hiashi flushed, "Ya know, you look kinda cute with pouted lips." he joked, Inuyasha quickly pursed his lips, "Sh-Shut up!" Miroku luaghed wildly, Sango spilled broth all over her kimono and Kagome spewed a fine mist of orange juice onto the table. Inuyasha turned bright purple and Hiashi looked upward smiling.

It was nearly midnight when Hiashi woke from his slumber, Miroku and the others were sleeping soudly in their beds, he heard Inuyasha snoring softly, muttering incoherent words. Hiahsi sighed, "Same Inuyasha, young and old." "And what do ya' mean by that." a feminine voice rang out, the boy turned, Kagome stood there with her arms crossed, Hiashi frowned, "It's not woman-like to eavesdrop, and it's none of your business." he said the last few words quietly. Kagome squinted her eyes in silent fury, "It is my business because INuyasha's mine." Hiashi's eyebrows slashed, "Ooh, bitchy." he said ferociusly, he turned on his heels billowing his black cloak behind him.

*dream*

Inuyasha ran as fast as his little hanyou legs could go, spears and arrows flew toward him, whizzing dangerously near his head. He tripped and began to cry and the sharp weapons peirced into his back and side, he felt hot blood run over his hakamas and drip onto the ground, a pair of hands scooped him up and he heard a rush of wind.

Inuyasha woke up with the pain unbearable and he screamed for his mother, a piece of food was out into his child mouth, openeing his amber eyes he saw a blurred figure said, "Hey, don't cry, it's gonna attract those guy again, if they survived my miasma." Inuyasha smiled as he felt warm water over his forehead.
