The Lost Dog Demon

Chapter 4

I awoke the next morning shivering. I sat up and looked around. I was alone with only the smoke coming from the fire that had been put out.

"I guess they left." I frowned as I looked at the smoking pit

I was all alone now. I needed to find Kagome and the others or I won't survive.

I grabbed Mama's picture and placed it into my pack before walking off into the forest to do a bit of business. When I was finished, I walked off heading to what I believed to be west. As I walked I couldn't help, but wonder where Kagome, Inuyasha and the others were.

Were they even looking for me? I know Kagome would, maybe Shippo, Sango, and that perverted monk. Inuyasha wouldn't, but he might for Kagome. I let out a sigh and shook my head.

"Dumb dog." I muttered as I kicked a stone.

The stone flew into some bushes. I stopped when I heard someone said about hearing something.

"Shut it, you're just paranoid. Now help me with this human!" another person said.

Curious about what was going I crouched behind the bushes and looked through them. My eyes went wide when I saw Rin laying on the ground while four demons stood around her.. She wasn't moving, hopefully she was unconscious and not dead.

The four demons were two feet in height with gray scale like skin. They had wide eyes with a tiny black dot in the middle. I could see their sharp pointy white teeth dripping with drool.

"This human will feed us for days!" One of the demons said happily.

"I can't wait to sink my teeth into her. We've been without food for days!"

"It's a good thing we found her all alone."

I gritted my teeth in anger. They wanted to eat Rin. I couldn't let them! I looked around for some sort of weapon. I found none, except for some stones and a stick. I grabbed them and stood up.

"Hey!" I shouted at the demons.

They jumped and looked up at me. Seeing them stunned, I swung the stick at the demons as I ran over to Rin.

"Rin, wake up!" I shouted at the girl as I threw some of the stones at the demons, who began to ran at me.

I could hear her moving a bit. I looked back at her to see that she was stirring a bit. Good, she wasn't dead. I look back at the demon and swung my stick at a demon that had jumped at me.

"Find someone else to eat!" I shouted at them as the demon flew away.

They froze for a second and ran off screaming. I smirked seeing that they got some sense knocked into them. You do not want to mess with me!

"Yeah! Don't mess with me!" I shouted at them angrily with my fist raised up.

I froze for a second when I heard something move behind me and Rin in the bushes. It's one of those demons sneaking up on us! I guess they don't want to give up.

"I'll show you!" I shouted as I spun around swinging my stick.

The stick broke in half as it hit its target. I gulped when I saw Sesshomaru standing there looking down at me with an emotionless look on his face.

"I'm so sorry! I thought you were one of those demons sneaking up on us!" I told him quickly.

He didn't say anything and looked down at Rin who opened her eyes. Seeing Sesshomaru she smiled weakly.

"Rin! How are you feeling?" I asked her as I got onto my knees next to her.

"Sleepy." She said, "Thank you for saving me, Kaori."
