A demon had Naraku's scent with a shard in his chest. He is usually a weak demon but with the power of the jewel shard, he gains enormous powers. He caught the huts on fire and began to devour humans. InuYasha was determined to get there faster as he caught the whiff of human blood and ashes. They arrived and were face to face with the demon.
" You and Shippo stay behind," Sango said.
" I will protect Yuki with everything in me." Shippo declared.
" Good." Sango hop on Kirara and headed to the others.
" Naraku is a bad guy and causes these like this to happen." Shippo said and informed the human companion." He pin InuYasha and his first love, Kikyo against each other.--He made Sango's brother kill his clan but Sango somehow survived, and he still has control over her brother.. Also, he put a curse on the monk's right hand" He took a bite out of his ninja snack.
Yuki watch the others fight the demon and was amazed by people's skills. It takes a lot of courage and strength to even stand up to a person and she admired that.
" Where is Naraku?" InuYasha yelled.
" He gave me the jewel shard and did not tell." the demon spoke and was amused with their expression." You will never find him because I will kill you before you have the chance." He chucked.
Kagome aim her arrow and purified the shard as the demon disintegrated. She picked up the shard and add it to her collection.
" He didn't even have a chance." Miroku shook his head.
" We still no closer to finding anything about Naraku," InuYasha complained.
They saw Kagura flying away on her feather.
" Was she here to observe us?" Sango questioned.
Naraku wanted to take the human woman as he saw her through the mirror being clueless.
" They became stronger and your experience failed." Kagura came and notified him as she kneel.
" I want you to capture her." He demanded.
" Yes, sir." She spoke.
The others started to camp out in the wood and made a fire to keep everyone warm. It was night time and everyone needed to rest since they have a big day ahead of them.
" It's okay, Yuki." Kagome reassured as they shared a sleeping bag." InuYasha and Miroku will keep watch. They are very strong and will protect us."
" It's n-not that. It's k-kind of hard to s-sleep on the ground. It's u-uncomfortable." Yuki studdered and it was hard for her to find comfort.
"It's the same for me too. I will stay up with you" Kagome yawned and her eyes began to close." I just think about my family when I return home." She fell asleep within seconds.
Yuki turned her head and looked up as InuYasha, and Miroku to see if they were awake. Are we putting too much trust in them? Can we sleep peacefully? She thought as she closed her eyes and imagine the day, she return home to her family. Being in a warm bed, and taking a nice bath. Spending time with family and going to school. I really miss being home She took a deep breath and somehow manage to fall asleep.
