Running To Stand Still: The hidden ones
Episode 1
Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Shippo, Kagura, and Kohaku are gathered around a campfire in a clearing. The thick surrounding woods prevented them from doing as Sango had said earlier that day and finding a village. They are tired and upset by the day�s happenings. Trying to lighten the mood in his usual gruff manner, Inuyasha says, �Ahh�Kirara know what she�s doin and Sango can look after herself. They�ll be fine and they�ll find us in a couple�a days.� That said, the group returns to a depressed silence. Kagura reaches out and puts a hand on Kohaku�s shoulder. Miroku says quietly, �I think you should all know, we�re surrounded.� Not moving, Inuyasha says, �I know. Four, maybe five up close; more holding back. They�re human.� Kohaku says, �The fire puts us at a disadvantage. Kagura?� She squeezes his shoulder in assent. Miroku says, �Kagome, Shippo, get down; on 3�1�2�3!� As Kagura flicks her fan open the fire smothers. Kagome drops to the ground covering Shippo and the others all spring to there feet.
