Atsumi walked down the forest. Her stomach rumbled and she was pretty sure that her hair was a duller shade than usual. "How long have we been walking?" She said, Tired. Atsuko sweat dropped. "About ten minutes…." Atsumi whined, childishly. "Well I'm hungry! And this is boring!" she frowned. Atsuko glared. Atsumi thought of something. "What don't I get some food?" She smiled. "For the love of all things good and holy, do!" Atsuko said, exasperated. Atsumi walked through the forest until reaching an open area. Before even getting a chance to react to the sight, she was confronted by a girl near her age.

The girl grimaced at the sight of Atsumi. "What do you want here?" her brown eyes – nearly black, showed her anger. "I was looking for a bit of food….." The girl smirked. "We don't have any. Leave, before I make you." She pulled back her black hair and tied it up, showing she wasn't afraid. Atsumi slowly backed away. "Err…. I think I'll leave. BYE" she began sprinting towards where she thought Atsuko and the others were.

Takara grinned; Naraku would be pleased. She prowled stealthily up towards Atsumi, hidden in the shadows. Atsumi would lead her right to Atsuko, who she would kidnap, on Naraku's wishes.

Atsumi found the others, and began frantically blabbering. "There was this girl and she was like 'GO AWAY' so I did…. And yeah…." Atsuko promptly kicked her in the shin and she shut up. They walked for a good half mile until Atsumi noticed. "Hey, where's Atsuko?" she asked Inu-yasha. He shrugged. It was heading to night, and a minute lantern flew in front of Atsumi's face; a firefly. /That's it/ Atsumi pictured the mysterious girl's kimono. Long sleeves, short skirt, black, and it had orange bugs on it. The firefly continued flying. "Follow the Fire fly." She told Inu-yasha, who didn't question and followed it. They steadily came to a large castle. The firefly dropped dead; there was miasma in the air. Inu-Yasha gave a cough, but seemed to be walking taller and prouder looking to boost his ego. Atsumi covered her laugh, pretending to cough as they approached the castle.

Throwing Atsuko to the cold floor, Takara smiled. "Naraku-sama!" she called. On cue, he walked into the room. "What have you brought me now?" he asked rolling his eyes. "Not another pie…" (Pie. teehee) "No master, I brought something much better!" Naraku studied Atsuko, a devious smile appearing on his face. "You've done well." He dismissed her and waited for Atsuko to wake up.
