Previously:
He knew he should have been worried. No heart beats or even breathing sounds, it was dead silent. At that moment, for some odd reason, sleep over came him.

"Please, allow us to travel with you. Boredom has racked our minds for the longest time." Kagome looked at the woman's gentle face then at Sango.
"Let them." She told Sango. Sango nodded than glared at the monk for a final warning.
Now:
It was dark and murky. Kagome's head pounded and her eyes felt as if she had not slept in months. If she could only recall what happened…
The group of now four headed up to the cave only to encounter a sleeping demon bear. Kagome would have turned back quickly and headed towards a different direction except Sango gasped. "Kirara!" she whispered loudly and the bear made a grunt.
"Keep quiet or you'll have us killed." Christina told her.
"Who is Kirara?" Miroku asked and Sango pointed to a sleeping two tailed cat, beneath the bear's paw.
"I much rather the cat be its supper then us."
"We can't leave her… she's the only family I've left." The little light they had received from the moon disappeared completely. They turned to see an even larger demon. He let out a growl and came towards the group. They scrambled away and fell against the pervious demon bear. Christina gave out a piercing scream. The other three turned to see what had frightened her so to see the sleeping bear's eyes wide open glaring at them. The cat Kirara gave out a meow and the paw that was once sheltering it swung her to the back of the cave.
"Kirara!" Sango shouted and fell into a defensive stance with her Hiraikotsu tightly gripped behind her. Christina too fell into a fighting stance and Miroku had his staff ahead of him ready to attack and defend himself if need be.
Kagome backed up and tripped over a lying foot of the ex-sleeping bear. With a scream coming out of her mouth, she fell while the others began to attack the two enormous bears. The leg she had tripped over quickly stood making her petite body fly to a wall.
She slowly fell on a pile of boulders.
Sango shouted Hiraikotsu and a gust of wind was heard and a grunt from one of the bears was heard. There was a ball of fire catching Kagome's eye, and the small cat became the large demon cat twice Kagome's size. She yelled and turned her head as the cat came for her. Once she realized she wasn't being eaten, she opened her eyes and looked up to see the cat in front of her, hiding her from all harm. She gasped and let her eyes adjust to look at the battle with the others. All of a sudden there was a large gust of wind; it wasn't like the one from Hiraikotsu. This was something stronger. She felt wind pick up speed and debris was up and flying all around. Kagome covered her eyes. She heard loud growls from the larger demons and Kirara bent lower to free Kagome from harm. She then heard many thuds.
"What's going on?" She heard Sango shout. A bear flew to a wall making everything shudder.
"It's going to cave in!" Kagome heard a more masculine voice yell.
"I almost have them; hold on just a little longer!" Christina shouted and Kagome was shocked the Christina girl was a wind demoness she had not even sensed the demonic presence. Kagome tried her best to open her eyes. She noticed some light was coming from outside now that the tree that had moved in the way before was thrown somewhere. Christina's white outfit floated as she was spinning in the air, causing a tornado. Suddenly the second bear was lifted off of the floor and came flying into Christina. She let out a scream before the roaring bear landed across her. The wind quickly died and the two were on a wall. Kagome ran from her place to the fallen demons. One look told her that the bear was either knocked out or dead but she didn't bother to check.
She made her way between the bear's limbs and landed near Christina. "Christina, Christina! Can you hear me?" the woman in white let out a cough and blood came out. Her entire lower body was flipped in an unnatural way.
"There's a boy."
"What? What boy? Christina do not speak as if it is your dying breath!"
"The boy is a fox demon. I know you are a miko but you may be the only one I know who might be able to find him and keep him safe."
"Christina, you barely know me."
"I just know. Listen, he is called Shippo. He is homeless and poor with a little girl he is always seen with. He may not know he is a prince of a northern clan but it does not matter. His family was slaughtered and he is the only one left. People may come after him." She coughed more and Kagome brought Christina's head to her shoulders so Kagome could hear what she was saying more clearly. "I was to look after him but he ran away with the little girl recently. Please find him and bring him back to my family."
"Who is your family, where do you come from?"
"North, head towards the-" she coughed even more.
"Kagome! Where are you?!" Sango shouted Kagome shouted back
"I'm behind the over sized demon!" she searched the shadows to see if Christina was still conscious. She was dead.
"Can you hear me? Christina…Christina…"
"Kagome, do NOT move!" Kagome shifted her legs and in a second a paw came slamming down her back she felt pain down her spine to her toes. Every part of her was in pain. She heard Sango shout Hiraikotsu before the calming darkness took her away.

Kikyou woke up to sore hips and a burning back. It was dark and cold with a sliver of light from a crack in the wall. Her arm began to itch so she began to scratch it. Her finger nail cut right through her arm; she looked down and saw liquid coming out of her skin. The light hit her hands and she saw claws. She let out a scream and tears began coming down her face fast. Suddenly a needle like pain started from her stomach and ran straight to her heart. She banged her head onto the ground hoping to cancel out the pain.
It would not stop. She begged for it to end. Her blood was burning and her muscles were tearing. She heard the door slide open. "What the hell is going on in here?" She heard the wind demoness ask. A softer voice answered.
"Her miko blood and her youkai blood are fighting. If she lives through this, one or the other will gain power. She may get both, if she's strong enough or she may just kill off a part of her and she'll be more or less a body with no emotions."
"Like you?" The voices disappeared and the pain enhanced. She would rather die than to be half demonic. The need to claw off her itching body was great and her tongue felt heavy in her mouth. Make it stop she begged in her head but no one was listening. This was not supposed to be happening to her. You have to mate with a youkai to be turned into one. Her father's voice rang in her head. She could not be turning into a youkai, she did not… her head racked while she tried to remember what had happened earlier. The grunts coming from her were ignored by the others in the establishment. Her sister wasn't here, her father was having a conversation with the enemy and the only person she had thought she was able to trust turned her into this… well she thought it was him.
She saw red before she fell into another sleep.

The boy had still not returned with his water. Surely he was asking to die. Sesshomaru laid on the futon. It smelt clean but he could not let go of the feeling that this was previously used by someone he knows. He hardly let it bother him but still it got him curious. He heard her whimpering. The little girl was still in the living room waiting for the boy's arrival. Sesshomaru walked out to the front and saw the girl sitting right in front of the home's entrance. "Girl, cease this noise."
"Shippo's not back Lord Sesshomaru, what is Rin to do?"
"You shall stay with me and once we encounter him again you will go with him." Rin have him a great nod and smiled.

Koga ran until dark and he felt as if he had had gone anywhere. He wasn't tired it was just boring. He ran across a stream filled with rocks and a trickle of fast moving ice water. He sniffed the air and realized the girl that was dressed as a boy was once here. The girl had another companion with her as well. Smelling around, he took note that they ran towards a large wall of rocks. He was fast so he decided to take a rest there, if the girls were to move, it would not be long for him to catch up.
He sat on the floor and looked to the moon. It was late; his pack should be asleep at this moment. Suddenly black roses began to appear around this wolf. Koga stood up and smelt a fox coming. "Yo!" Someone called out to Kouga and so he looked up to the voice. Up in a tree, there was one of the tribe leaders in the North, Kobiyashi. This black fox demon was someone Kouga knew well enough that he could let this demon know everything that is to know about his life. Kobiyashi has little black fox ears on top of his head and canine teeth. His hair is black and had the depth to make you feel as if you were getting lost into the darkness. He has silver eyes and is slightly pale. What gave away that he was not a normal demon was the black marking on his right cheek, right below his eye, in the shape of a tear drop.
"What are you doing so far from home, wolf?"
"I should ask you the same, fox!" Kobiyashi jumped off the branch and stood before Kouga.
"I heard about your idiotic idea to try and take over the land here in the east."
"Yeah, well I won't be doing that anymore; I've got a way that'll make me Lord of the entire Eastern Lands." Kobiyashi laughed.
"And what way is that."
"You'll just have to wait and see, in the mean time, I'm going to sleep."
"I'll head back North to tell Lord Shunsuke that you've aborted your plans." And the black fox demon was off.

Inuyasha woke up in a cave surrounded by a barrier. A few feet away he noticed figures of shadow demons. He cursed realizing that the castle was probably an illusion in the first place and filled with miasma. Naraku must be behind this, Inuyasha thought and so there was no way out of this cave without triggering the shadow demons, however if word got out to the other two Lords maybe they could work together and kill Naraku once and for all. Too bad Inuyasha had no clue on where they were.

Kagome sat up and tried to look around the dark cave. There was Sango, right next to her and Miroku a few feet away and then there was the cat back in its kitten form. Now there was one demon bear which was beheaded and another seemed to have been purified, there was a pile of dust on the ground. She then she felt her back shudder and she fell on to her back. She tried to rise back up but the pain was too much for her and she laid there staring into the dark, too much in pain to try and sleep.
