Chapter Four: Danger Under Your Nose

The emerald eyed fox child gazed at the rising sun, and yet didn't see it. His mind clouded with playful coffee orbs and a smile that could elevate the sun on the rainiest day. The high cheeks covered themselves in a pink blanket and her brunette tresses framed her oval ivory face softly. Sazuky, my heart needs you close. The bad feeling that he felt the night before still nagged on his conscious and wouldn't let him sleep. Shippo determinately stood from his spot on the wooden stairs, entered the house, and dressed in his green outfit. He snuck into Inuyasha's and Kagome's room and shook the hanyou just enough to wake him. One amber eye opened with fire shooting at the person who decided to rouse the slumbering silver haired man. He spotted the fox demon and grumbled something that Shippo couldn't make out and shuffled out of his bed and into the family area.

"What's so damn important that you have to wake me after such a hard night? Man, I think Kagome might be pregnant again," Inuyasha griped out through his yawn. After realizing what he just said Shippo's adopted father became even crabbier.

"I wanted to ask you a favor. If after I come back with Sazuky would you help me build a house as our wedding present?" the amber haired boy questioned shyly. A small smile came from the sleepy man knowing what his son wanted.

"Of course, just don't wake me up again, runt," he answered back and turned to go back to his beautiful slumbering wife. Happiness enveloped the fox and he couldn't stop grinning. He strolled out on to porch and soaked in the warmth of the sun. His mind had no doubts, this is what he wanted. I just want to be whole again with my love. He continued down the dirt path and into the forest toward Sazuky's village. Sunlight streamed through the leaves and lit the trail to his heart. A soft wind blew towards the fox on a quest and his sensitive nose caught a familiar scent. Sazuky, but …it's mixed in with fear. His legs bolted toward the smell. His demon speed had his toes barely touching the soft grass as he flew toward his woman.

Sazuky awoke from the pressure on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. Her eyelids lifted slowly to reveal that the man she had helped yesterday was on top of her. His black eyes closed into slits and a sick grin formed on his face. Sazuky's orbs grew large with fear and she tried to push him off, but he had already pinned her small arms.

"Hello dear, how did you sleep? Don't worry," he said to her fear, "It won't hurt for long."

"Please sir, I'm trying to find my lover. I need to find him!" she screamed back. He cackled as he drew closer to her face.

"I can be your new lover sweetie. I can prove to you that I'm man," he sneered as his hand reach underneath her skirt.

"Please don't!" she pleaded as moisture started to gather in her eyes.

Shippo found the clearing in a very short time and saw a heap on the edge of the woods. What's that over there? It's covered in a demon scent…and fear. A scream rang through the air and Shippo immediately dashed toward the broken hut.

"Sazuky!" he cried out reaching the doorway.
