Chapter 4 coming to you! I hope you like it, I’m starting to like this plot myself! Tee Hee Hee!

Disclaimer- I don’t own Inuyasha-Tachi. I own Ryo, though I don’t like him very much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha ran through the woods at high speed. He was gonna find the sneak, no matter what the cost! And then he would prove to everyone that the guy was not to be trusted.

He approached a clearing that Ryo’s scent had lead him to. At first glance it seemed empty, but he knew the sneak was here.

He entered it, looking around cautiously.

“Ah, Inuyasha. I knew you would come.” A voice said behind him. Inuyasha growled, whipping around to face Ryo, who was lying in a branch in a tree.

“Just what is it your planning!?” Inuyasha demanded. Ryo chuckled, leaping down from the branch, Inuyasha growled, stepping back.

“Planning? What would make you think I was planning anything? And why would it be any of your business if I was anyways?” Ryo asked, looking thoughtful...and mischievous.

“I know your up to something.” Inuyasha stated. Ryo shrugged, looking at him intently.

“Well my friend, you won’t be around long enough to tell anyone, now will you?”

“What the hell is that supposed to mean!?” Inuyasha roared, whipping out Tetsusaiga. Ryo shrugged, and nodded to something behind him. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, and turned around to see...

“NARAKU?!”

~~~

Kagome sighed, looking first at the fire, then at Sango, then at Miroku. She wondered where Shippou had gone off to, but thought nothing of it for the moment. She was a little bit worried about Inuyasha, but more so about Miroku and Sango.

I hope that guy some how, mysteriously falls into a DITCH...and then dies, because there were spiked at the bottom, and then Sesshoumaru or some demon could come along to EAT him. And then whatever was left of his body would burn in HELL! She thought, a glower imprinted on her face.

Kagome then noticed a small movement in the corner, and turned to see that Miroku was awake after all.

She crawled over to sit by him, a frown on her face.

“What’s bothering you Miroku?” She asked softly, already knowing the answer to the question, but asking it anyways.

“That man...is not to be trusted.” He murmured, not meeting her gaze.

“And why do you say that?”

“Just....a feeling I guess...” He said after a moments pause to think.

“ A jealous feeling?” Kagome teased, poking his shoulder. Miroku tinted with pink, before grumbling something.

“Oh, now don’t you start that too!” Kagome laughed. Miroku sighed and turned to glance at Sango. kagome noticed his lack of comfort, and sighed, moving back to her place by the fire.

Miroku sat there, thinking about what he actually felt.

Am I really jealous? Is that what this feeling is? Miroku thought about this for a short time, before slumping in defeat.

I guess...I am...

~~~

Shippou ran for all he was worth and didn’t dare to look back once. For all he knew Naraku and that guy could be chasing after him!

He had seen Inuyasha start to walk of, and decided to follow since nothing exciting was happening inside the hut.

He now regretted this decision as he threw himself into the doorway of the hut.

“Shippou!? Are you alright!?” Kagome gasped, running to him in shock at seeing the Kitsune cub so frightened.

“Inuyasha *gasp* is *pant* in* cough, cough* TROUBLE! *gasp, cough, pant, sneeze*”

“NANI!?” Kagome gasped, eyes wide and looking frightened.

“What happened?” Sango asked, now fully awake and staring at Shippou.

“Where is Inuyasha now?” Miroku demanded, standing up and readying his staff, along with Sango and her boomerang.

“ HE’S WITH NARAKU!” Shippou shrieked, jumping up and down.

“WHAT DID YOU SAY!?” They all wailed.

“HAI!”

“Let’s get going!” Kagome declared, running out the door, Miroku and Sango following close after her.

~~~

Inuyasha woke up, his limp body tied to a tree.

“Gee, why does this seem familiar...” Inuyasha muttered, staring at his bindings.

“Yes, well, we can't have you escaping anytime soon, now can we?” Naraku chuckled, as Ryo finished tying the bindings.

“You’ll pay for this!” Inuyasha roared, readying his claws as he swiped st the material. But as he did, a burning sensation wiped out through his whole hand.

“What---The---” Inuyasha grunted, closing his eyes to the pain that now engulfed his right hand. Ryo tusked him.

“Now, now. Don’t do that, or you’ll die from poison. Not like it will affect us any...” Ryo muttered, stepping back to smirk at him.

“INUYASHA!” Came a shrill voice as Kagome, Miroku and Sango burst into the area.

“Kagome! All of you! STAY BACK!” Inuyasha commanded, flinching as his wrist grew numb with an ice feeling. Kagome didn’t seem to like this Idea to much, but didn’t dare move when she saw Naraku and Ryo. Unfortunately, Sango saw them first.

“RYO! HOW COULD YOU!?”
