"INUYASHA! HEY! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Kagome was so worried that she couldn't find Inuyasha, especially because he disappeared on the ONE NIGHT that he didn't have his demon powers!

"ouch! hey you stepped on my foot!" Kagome squealed, "wait Inuyasha is that you?!" a sliver of hope just went through her mind, but dissipated almost as soon as it came to mind when an unfamiliar man started talking.

"uhm, I am very sorry but I do not know this "Inuyasha" that you speak of," a very un-familiar male's voice said.

"oh, I'm sorry.." Kagome said sadly, "but have you seen a guy who I guess is about your height, from what I can see of you, and he also has long, silver- wait I mean black, long, hair and a bright red kimono, and he's also probably sulking to himself somewhere deeper into the woods."

"I am very sorry ma'am but I do not know of a person of that, very specific I might add, description. but you know, it is pretty dark out right now and I don't now if it is that safe for you to venture out here searching for someone at this time of night. how about I take you to my house nearby and give you some tea and clean cloths, and maybe you could wash up, then I can help you search again for that "Inuyasha" again in the morning?"

"oh wow, that would be great, but how do I know that your trust worthy?" Kagome stated skeptically.

"I am so sorry I didn't introduce my self sooner, I am Daisuke Higurashi, and you?" Daisuke said.

"how funny, I am Kagome Higurashi! ok, I guess I have no reason to dis-trust you, do I? so lead the way!" Kagome said as she shook his firm hand, but then she started to think to herself, how funny, I bet that were related, but is this maybe twisting my family's fate a little bit?, but she just shook the thought away... maybe a bad mistake, because as she has not noticed, her hair is starting to... disappear!
