Chapter One Preface

Kagome sat under a cherry blossom tree contemplating wether or not she should talk to the group about how she has not scene or heard from Sesshomaru or Rin in awhile. It had been a recent change that she would take care of Rin during Sesshomaru's dangerous Taiyouki meetings, which tend to occur more frequently then not. But as of late she had not scene them and for some reason she had a bad feeling in her stomach about the whole thing. Finally gaining some courage she got to her feet and started her way towards the group that were sitting by the fire chatting away.

"Inuyasha." Kagame whispered looking down to him with fear in her eye's.

"Yes Kagome, what is it? Is everything ok?" Inuyasha stood immediately after seeing the look in her eye's.

Upon seeing Inuyasha's sudden rise the rest of the little group got up to and walked closer as to hear the conversation. Kagame took a deep breath as she looked into everyones worried eye's. Well she has gotten there attention now she has to tell them her thought on Rin not being here. She took a deep breath letting the air out in a low sigh before beginning to tell them her concerns.

" I am worried about Rin" She stated forwardly.

Everyone looked at her with surprise written all over their faces. Inuyasha being the most prominent with hs eye's wide and his jaw slightly slack. Shippo almost nearly feel off the log he was perched on when the realization finally hit him.

"Kagome-chan you are right, Rin-chan has not been here in a very long time." Shippo looked down to the ground contemplating how he felt on the matter, Rin was like a sister to him. Inuyasha on the other hand was slowly fuming.

"Who give's a fuck about them, Rin or Sesshomaru! I am glad that bastard hasn't shown his face here!" He sat back down with a loud huff.

Kagome looked at him with a glare comparable to that of even Sesshomaru's. "That is incredible rude to say you, you, you JERK!" She yelled at him then suddenly got very quiet, and looked to Sango with tear filled eye's. "Sango- chan may I have Kirara take me to Sesshomaru's castle in the West I just know something is wrong,I just feel it in my stomach."

Sango looked at her for a moment and has she was about to answer her Inuyasha cut in. " No way in hell are you going there, have you not forgotten how Sesshomaru has tried to kill you in the past! This is probably another way for him to get to tets-" He was cut off from his sentence has Kagame sat him to China and back. After watching this display Sango nodded her head of approval and Kirara transformed after taking a few steps away from the girl's. Kagame quickly got on her back and took off into the air before Inuyasha could get up to stop her. 'He never understands, she is a little girl and she could be hurt' Kagome thought to herself.

Kagame hugged Kirara as she flew to the lands in the West, she knew something was wrong, her senses never failed her before. So why would they now? As they flew through the air Kagame couldn't help but to think back on the times she had with the little girl,

Flashback

"Kagome-chan, Kagome-chan! Are you going to the baths? Can Rin go bath with Kagome-chan too!" The little girl screamed as she ran up to Kagome as she wrapped her arms around Kagomes legs. She was just to cute and Kagome thought the girl could use some more girl bonding so giving her a nod she walked to the hot spring with Rin in tow caring the bathing supplies, Sango hearing the conversation joined them in the spring as well, the three of them chatting away in the to spring until a big splash sprayed over them, and floating around was Shippo, to young yet to know better. The three laughed and had a wonderful night together even with a grumpy hanyo and lecherous munk there.
