Scene 8 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Late That Night

* Exhaustion begins to pull Inuyasha once more into sleep. Then that infernal voice in his mind snaps him awake again.

(+) Sesshomaru- I tire of this game. I am coming to get you.

* Inuyasha bolts upright heaving.

Inuyasha- No!!
(+) Sesshomaru- I will waste no more time because of your stubbornness.

* Fear settles in as Inuyasha looks around the sleeping village. 'No, he can't come here! He'll destroy the whole village!' The hanyou leaps up. He feels his temperature rising as he quickly dashes into Miroku's hut. The sudden entry wakes the three occupants. Miroku stands when he sees the state that Inuyasha is in. The hanyou holds up a hand with a growl.

Inuyasha- Stay away!

* In the next instant, he flattens his ears and whimpers. He, Miroku, and Shippo all feel Sesshomaru's aura coming closer quickly.

Inuyasha- St-stay.. here... I have to run...
Miroku- What?
Inuyasha- You feel him coming!! I have to lead him away.. from the village.

* Shippo nods quickly, dancing from foot to foot.

Shippo- Yes, Inuyasha! Hurry!!

* Inuyasha growls down at the frightened kitsune.

Inuyasha- He wants a fight.. I'll give him one! But not here... I'm going now.. Don't follow me!!
Miroku- Inuyasha,...!
Inuyasha- And don't come looking for me, either!! If he has to kill me.. I'll die alone... I won't have him harming any of you!

* Inuyasha cowers when he hears the loud growl outside.

Sesshomaru- Come out of there, Little Brother! Or I'm coming in!!

* With a renewed growl of his own, Inuyasha bursts back out of the hut. His three friends hear the sounds of a brief struggle outside as they hurry to look out a window. They are just in time to watch Inuyasha squirm out from under Sesshomaru's crouched form and leap away with a curse. Shippo motions when Inuyasha raises a hand to his bleeding neck.

Shippo- He's been marked.. I think...

* With a final curse, Inuyasha turns and takes off. Sesshomaru growls and blurs away to give chase into the woods.

Sango- What now?
Shippo- Now Sesshomaru will chase Inuyasha until he either catches him or Inuyasha gives out. Then they'll probably fight to see who's truly the strongest.
Miroku- Inuyasha's nearly exhausted now... How long will Sesshomaru chase him?
Shippo- As long as it takes.
Sango- What will Sesshomaru do when he catches Inuyasha, if he beats him?

* Slowly, both Shippo and Miroku look up at the slayer in a manner that makes her blush.

Sango- Perverts.
Shippo- Well, either way, it's all a part of nature for us full demons. There's nothing we can do but wait and hope Inuyasha comes back alive... If he does, it won't be for a week or so, though.

* Shippo moves back to his futon.

Miroku- A whole week?

* Now Shippo lays down facing away from them to hide his rosy blushing now.

Shippo- More matings insures a larger litter... Good night!

* Shippo feigns sleep quickly as the two humans look at each other.

Miroku- One of them...?
Sango- Carrying pups?
Shippo- (Mumbled) If Inuyasha lives that long.

* The statement squashes any amusing imaginations that were going through their heads. They both move to sit on their seperate futons, but worry keeps them awake.
