* Yoru's Pov *

"Shippo-chan, Yoru-san, where is this?" Kagome ask weakly.

"A temple. They have given us shelter" says Shippo. 

"Miroku-san and Sango are still unconscious" I told her. 

"Are you awake?" The monk came in and questioned. 

Kagome then turns to him weakly.

"I'm glad. Put your mind at ease and rest" He says. 

I noticed that Kagome's eyes widen upon glancing at him. Her eyes are shaking. That means, there is something fishy about this monk. 

"What a pity. I understand that you inhaled poison. Perhaps you shouldn't have moved so soon after that. All three are very weak and won't be able to move for some time" The monk says. 

"For some time you say?" I mumbled.

"That is correct. It's best if you would let them have a nice rest says the monk.

He then comes close to Kagome and placed an incense behind her. I take a sniff. My eyes widen. It's a trap! Shippo has already fallen asleep and my vision is getting blurry.

"Damn it... It's a trap" I mumbled.

Kagome's eyes slowly closes as she falls asleep as well while I was trying hard to keep myself awake. But the herb is quite strong. 

"You... I'd knew you weren't some ordinary monk" I mumbled while trying to stand up.

"Ho? How could you stil resist that sleeping herb? For a mere mortal?" He questions.

"Talk! Are you a member of the Band of Seven?!" I ask.

"My name is Renkotsu and don't worry, I won't kill them yet. We can't have our talk if Inuyasha finds them dead" He says. 

"D-Damn it..."

I force myself to transform into my kyuubi form which surprised Renkotsu. I was breathing heavily while trying to stay awake. But that incense... As if it's also draining my powers. 

"I see. So you are the Kyuubi that has disappeared long ago. Legend has it tat if we were to draw out your blood, even a dead could be revived" says Renkotsu. 

"I won't let you. Poison Claw!"

My attack missed as my vision is blurry and I was instantly reverted back to my human form. I was on the verge of falling asleep already.

"You don't have a choice. A Kyuubi's blood is as powerful but slightly weaker than the Shikon no Tama. I guess I stumbled upon a good treasure" says Renkotsu while holding my face.

"If you draw out my blood... He will come for you" I mumbled tiredly.

"He?" I smirk.

"Inuyasha's older brother... Sesshomaru" I said.

"Sesshomaru huh?"

"He will... definitely kill you. For I, am his familiar" I said.

"Now that's interesting. But I think it's time for you to be asleep" says Renkotsu.

He lightly pushes my forehead which then I slowly fall into darkness. Sesshomaru... Inuyasha...
