Chapter 5: An Unlikely Savior

"Where is she, she's been gone since I left and I've been back for five hours now and besides it's dark and when ever Kiri goes on one of these walks of hers she's always back before dark" Inuyasha asked himself pacing in front of Keade's hut.

"Do you think we should go look for her?" asked Kagome.

"I think we should" Miroku said coming out of the hut followed by Sango.

"Alright Kagome and Shippo will come with me, Miroku and Sango you two go with Kilala" Inuyasha more demanded than suggested.

"Is there somewhere you want to meet?" the monk asked.

"Yah, meet back here in two hours". With that said the group split up and went out searching for Kiri hoping that one of them wouldn't have to go back to the hut empty handed.

Two hours went by and no one had found Kiri. Inuyasha couldn't even pick up her scent. Kagome and Inuyasha were the first to get to the hut. Sango and Miroku soon followed.

"We couldn't find her, what about you guys?" Shippo asked

"We couldn't find her either" Sango answered.

"Damn it where can she be?" the angry hanyou growled.

"Maybe she was attacked by something" Shippo thought out loud adding that to everyone's worries.

"Now that you mention it Sango and I did see a spot that looked like there was a fight" Miroku said.

"In the morning we'll go take a look, it's too dark now…we should all get some rest for tomorrow" Inuyasha as he walked into the hut.

"But what about Kiri?" Sango asked not believing what he just said "we have to go find her" Inuyasha stopped by the door but didn't turn around knowing the faces that he was getting.

"Kiri's strong, she will be alright. If she was attacked or captured we will need our strength to save her. We will be of no help if we are tired and unable to fight to our full abilities." When he was finished he walked into the hut. The rest of the group soon followed but not without protesting first.

*** (with Kiri) ***

The next morning Kiri woke up to a soft bed and silken sheets. She tried to move but he body refused let her. When she tried to sit up she was hit with serge of pain shooting straight up her back causing her to fall back with a groan. Kiri looked around the room where she lay trying to analyze her situation. `Did Naraku kidnap me?...do because if he did I wouldn't be in such a nice room and I don't think he would have bothered to wrap my wounds, but then if Naraku didn't take me then where am I?' and that's when she saw him. Sesshoumaru. He was sitting on a chair next to the bed and he appeared to be sleeping. Kiri tried to slide over to the edge when she was stopped by a smooth voice.

"Be still, your body is under enough stress as it is."

"Why am I here?" she asked in a whisper. A whisper was as much as she could stand. Every time she tried to speak her throat hurt along with her ribs. Her throat was dry which also made it hard to speak. Kiri opened her mouth to speak but thought against it causing an uncomfortable silence between the two. Finally getting up her courage Kiri spoke in a horse whisper. "Did you do all of this, you know bring me here and bandage my wounds?"

"Yes" was his simple reply while handing Kiri a glass of water which she greasily took. "Why I thought I was your enemy?"

"Would you have preferred it if I left you out there to die?"

"No" now Kiri was embarrassed.

"Sleep, you need rest or your wounds will never heal. I will send up a maid to re-dress your wounds, I will also send some food up for you as well." With that said Sesshoumaru left closing the doors behind him.

`What's with Sesshoumaru?...last time I saw him he wanted to kill me and now he saved me and taking care of me' Kiri thought.

*** (Inu and gang) ***

Inuyasha and the group have been searching for Kiri for hours now with no luck in finding her.

"Miroku take me that where you said you thought there was a fight" Inuyasha demanded.

"This way" Miroku led them to the certain spot. Once there no one could believe what they saw. Trees were broken and burnt with other massive damage to the area.

"Should we spread out to see if we could find anything?" Sango asked.

"It would be the right thing to do" the monk replied. Everyone started walking in their own direction looking for any type of clue that could help them find Kiri.
