Kagome gasped at Shippou's announcement of Sango. Running as fast as she could and trying to avoid tripping, Kagome managed to get back to the village. She burst into Kaede's hut,
"Kaede ... what happened?" Kagome asked quickly.
"Sango was struck in the back with an arrow!", said Miroku, with tears in his eyes.
"By who?" Kagome asked, shocked.
"We don't know, child. But the arrow definately belongs to a demon and the arrowhead was covered in a poison I do not recognize." said Kaede, sadly.
Kagome sunk to her knees. Who could have possibly done this to her friend?
"Is there anything I can do, Kaede?" Kagome asked, softly.
Miroku spoke up, "The herb garden ... the one that Jineji takes care of ... maybe he can help us?"
Kagome brightened up, "Miroku, that's a great idea. I'll take Kirara and head out at once."
"Child, you should not go alone. Where is Inuyasha?" asked Kaede.
Kagome's face darkened, "He ... he ran off. I don't know where he is."
Miroku looked at his friend in concern. Shippou simply muttered, "Stupid Inuyasha!"
"It's ok. I'll be fine. I'll be with Kirara. Besides, we can't wait. I must go now." Kagome announced, as she quickly got up and picked up the demon cat,
"Kirara, I need your help!" said Kagome.
The demon kitten ran outside and transformed into her larger self. Kagome grabbed the arrow, ran outside and hopped on and the two sped off towards the northwest and Jineji's farm.
"She's such an impetint child. Very much like Inuyasha." Kaede said, shaking her head.
"That is why the two of them belong together." Miroku said quietly.

Inuyasha ran until he thought his lungs would collapse. Jumping into the highest branches of a tree, he reluctantly removed his obi and slid his pants down to his knees. Staring at his engorged member, he cursed his body and cursed himself for not understanding what was happening. Wrapping his hand around his muscle, he proceeded to provide himself the much needed relief. As his release exploded, Inuyasha chided himself for his filthy habit. Kagome would be disgusted with him should she ever find out about it and the fact that he needed to imagine his sweet, innocent Kagome naked to get his release.
Pulling up his hakama pants and retying his obi, Inuyasha jumped down from the tree. He needed to return to Kagome. He wanted, no ... needed, so desperately to be with her, beside her, that he would put up with this distraction. At first, he headed in the direction of the village, until a scent reached his nose. Making a hsty decision, he changed direction and followed the new scent.
---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Master Jaken, where are we going?" asked the little girl with black hair, holding the reins of a two-headed dragon.
"Rin! Why must you always ask such stupid questions?" answered the green imp.
"Kohaku, do you know where we're going?" asked the little girl to the young demon slayer.
"No, Rin, I don't. I'm sorry." answered Kohaku.
Their leader suddenly stopped in front of them, causing Jaken to walk into the demon's leg,
"Whaa?" said Jaken, "Why did we stop, M'Lord?" he asked the majestic demon.
'That scent!' he thought, when right in front of him landed Inuyasha,
"Why are you here, little brother?" Sesshoumaru spat out.
"I need to talk with you, Sesshoumaru." Inuyasha responded, meeting his brother's gaze and locking eyes.
Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrows in feigned interest. Inuyasha needed to talk to him?
"Go on." Sesshoumaru invited his brother to start,
"Not in front of them." Inuyasha said, gestering with his thumb to his brother's traveling companions,
"HMPH! Anything you need to say to Lord Sesshoumaru you can say in front of us, you filthy half-breed." announced Jaken.
This earned Jaken a stern "JAKEN!" from his master. The imp promptly complied with a low bow.
Sesshoumaru walked away from his companions and further into the forest. Inuyasha quietly followed. Sesshoumaru then turned to face him,
"What is it that you want to talk to me about?"
Inuyasha blushed as he thought of what he wanted, or needed, to say.
"If you don't want to talk than stop wasting this Sesshoumaru's time. I have better things to do than be in the forest with you."
Inuyasha stammered on his words, "Uhhh, Sesshoumaru, I ... I ...need to know why my body is behaving the way it is. You know I am shunned by demons and humans and I don't understand what is wrong with me."
"Go on." Sesshoumaru encouraged, with an amused look on his face.
Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was going to say,
"Sesshoumaru, my ... my ... you know, private part where I pee ... it keeps getting bigger and hurting as it enlarges. I have to keep rubbing it until white liquid comes out and then I'm ok. That is, until I get around Kagome again. What is happening to me?"
Inuyasha looked up into Sesshoumaru's face. He didn't like what he saw. His brother was smiling! Why was his brother smiling?
"Inuyasha! You were born ignorant and you were raised ignorant. Why should I tell you any of this? Why not ask your friends for help?"
"You bastard! Why can't you answer me?"
"Because you are not worthy of an answer from me, you filthy half-breed."
With these words, Sesshoumaru turned and walked away from Inuyasha. Inuyasha simply lowered his head in shame. Obviously, whatever was happening to him was because he was a lowly, despicable half-breed. Surely, no one else - neither human nor demon - experienced this. He turned around, leapt into the trees and was gone.

The trip to Jineji's farm on Kirara's back was easy. Kagome showed the arrow to Jineji, who quickly prepared an herb for Sango. Saying her goodbyes, Kagome and Kirara headed back to Kaede's village. Shortly after leaving the farm, the sky started to turn black and lightening flashed. Kirara touched down in a huge castle town below her. Townspeople were beginning to run for cover as the storm prepared to hit, but Kagome was approached by a young maiden,
"My lady, you are a priestess, are you not?" the maiden asked Kagome.
"Yes, I am. May I have lodgings until after the storm?" Kagome requested.
The maiden eyed Kirara suspiciously at first but then said,
"Sure. Follow me."
------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
Inuyasha arrived back at Kaede's village shortly before the storm hit. Entering the old miko's hut, he was shocked to see Sango unconcious, Miroku sitting beside her, clearly upset, Shippou and Kaede applying cold compresses to Sango's forehead and, most of all, no Kagome.
"What happened here?" he asked.
Kaede filled Inuyasha in on the happenings of the day, finishing with Kagome heading out on Kirara to Jineji's farm. While Inuyasha was clearly upset of what had happened to Sango, he was furious over the fact that Kagome had been allowed to go alone to Jineji's farm,
"I tried to find you Inuyasha." said Shippou.
Inuyasha bonked Shippou on the head, causing a large welt to appear,
"OWWWWWW! Why'd you do that for?" Shippou screamed.
"You obviously didn't look hard enough, runt!" Inuyasha admonished.
Inuyasha got up and started to head outside,
"Inuyasha! Where are you headed?" asked Kaede.
"Where do you think, old woman. Out to find Kagome!"
"In this weather? The sky is teeming!"
"HMPH! Rain doesn't bother me the way it bothers you weakling humans, you know!"
With that said, Inuyasha ran out of the hut and disappeared into the rain.
