Inuyasha's Worries

"Inuyasha you need to rest" Miroku said

"I won't rest until I have found her"

"You're not going to be able to help if you don't rest"

"Sango is right Inuyasha, let's go back to Kaede's, maybe someone in the village saw what way they went"

"You go back if you want; I won't stop until I have found Kagome"

"I swear if even a single hair on her head is harmed you will live to regret it Sesshomaru"

"How could Kagome just vanish like that?" Shippo asked

"Didn't you pick up any scent to what way he took her?" Sango asked

"No, there was nothing, they just vanished without a trace"

"Ill go back to the village and ask around while you guys keep looking" Sango said hoping onto Kirara's back

"I will got to the east, Inuyasha you go to the west and Shippo can search the north" Miroku suggested "we can meet back here by nightfall"

We all agreed to the terms then went our separate ways, I headed of west in search of Kagome or Sesshomaru's scent but after hours of searching I had not yet found anything. I was about to give up all hope of every being able to save Kagome when I smelt a scent that was close to Sesshomaru's, with a new hope and rage burning inside of me I set of as fast as I could towards the scent.

"Sesshomaru where are you" I yelled out to the empty forest "I know you are here somewhere, show yourself!"

I heard a small rustle coming from the bushes, without stopping to think I darted to the sound and pulled out the thing that was making the noise.

"You! Where is Sesshomaru" I growled at the imp

"I...I...I...do..don...don't...know" he stuttered

"I know you travel with him"

"I have not seen lord Sesshomaru in many days"

"Useless!" I shouted throwing the imp to the ground in frustration.

"Where could they be" I thought "why did he take her, it was me he wanted! WHY!"

I disregarded the imp and once again started my search, surely if his followers where here then Sesshomaru and Kagome must be close.

"Kagome please be ok, I'm coming for you"

I searched until the sun started to set, I wanted to keep searching despite what we had agreed on but I had yet to find out anything so I headed back to the place we agreed to meet in hopes that someone else would of found something.

"Inuyasha, your back"

"Miroku did you find out anything?"

"...no, did you?"

"Do you think if I did I would be standing here!"

"Don't worry Inuyasha we will find her"

"Where is Sango and Shippo?"

"Shippo is over there sleeping and Sango has yet to return"

"Hey!" Sango called out from the sky

"Never mind..." Miroku muttered

"I know where Kagome is" she said once she landed on the ground

"WHAT! Where is she? Is she ok? Where is Sesshomaru?"
"Don't worry Inuyasha she is fine and I don't know where Sesshomaru is... she wouldn't answer me"

"Where is she"

"She is in her time, she said that Sesshomaru dropped her down the well and by the time she managed to return we were gone"

"She's in her era?"

"Yes, and before you even think about it she said not to go over there no matter what"

"Why?"

"She wouldn't say... but she did say she would return tomorrow afternoon and explain everything then"

"Well then it's settled we will rest here tonight then head back to Kaede's in the morning"

"WHAT!"

"Inuyasha you heard what Sango said, you are not aloud to go over there"

"I don't care what she says!" I growled at him

"Do you really want to risk going over there" Miroku asked pointing at the enchanted beads

"Damn it!" I grumbled

The next day we all headed out back to Kaede's village, Miroku and Sango filled Shippo in on what we knew. We arrived as the sun was high in the sky, I had no way of knowing when exactly Kagome would show up but she had said the afternoon and being the afternoon I couldn't help but be restless.

"Relax Inuyasha, I'm sure she will be here soon" Miroku said

I was now passing around the outside of Kaede's hut waiting for the scent of Kagome to reach me but it seemed to be taking forever.

"Kagome will be here when it nears evening"

"And what would you know" I spat at Kaede

"She has returned the last few nights at the same time"

"WHAT! Why didn't you tell me this!"

"Ye were running around searching and did not ask"

I growled in frustration when I smelled the scent of Kagome, I turned and rushed of towards the well to meet with her, as I got there she looked as if she had only just climbed out of the well.

"Oh hello Inuyasha, what are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here! WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM DOING HERE!"

"Kagome!" Shippo shouted out

"Hello Shippo, Sango, Miroku"

"Mew"

"And yes you to Kirara" Kagome smiled happily

"Kagome ye are early"

"I came the second school finished"

"She has been going to that place filled with humans all this time!"

I was about ready to shout at everyone when Miroku stepped forward and started to talk.

"What happened? Sango said Sesshomaru dropped you down the well?"

"Yeah that's right"

"What happened to Sesshomaru?" I asked through gritted teeth

"Sesshomaru is... well he is... How do I put it..."

"Just tell us already!"

"Well your not going to like it Inuyasha but Sesshomaru came through the well with me" she said with a nervous chuckle at the end

"HE WHAT!"

"But how is that possible" Miroku asked

"That's it, I'm going to kill him, Kagome let me pass"

"Inuyasha wait, you can't hurt him"

"You're protecting him now? Did you hit your head or something? He.. kid... napped... you KIDNAPPED!"

"I know but he is in no way fit to harm anyone right now?"

"What do you mean Kagome?" Sango asked

"He's human"

"Human?" we all said at once

"But that's not possible" Miroku said

"How could Sesshomaru turn human?" Sango asked

"It must be some sort of trick" I added in

"I don't know how but that's the truth, as I was passing through the well he somehow must have followed me through and by doing so he has been turned human"

"But Inuyasha never turns human does he?" Shippo asked

"OF COURSE NOT!" I shouted at the small fox

"Hmm, perhaps it was the spiritual power that turned him human"

"What do you mean Miroku?" Kagome asked

"You said he followed you through the well"

"Yeah"

"And the well opens for you because of the spiritual power that you and the jewel hold"

"Will you just tell us already" I spat loosing my temper

"Well I think that Sesshomaru was using his demonic powers to follow after her and by doing so during the transport Kagome's own power purified Sesshomaru demonic powers rendering him human"

"But why doesn't that happen to Inuyasha?"

"Well maybe it does but he is half human so it would have a different effect on him"

"Never thought I would be thankful for my human half"

"But if your right Miroku then he will need his demonic powers to get back" Kagome pointed out

"Yes that is a possibility"

"But then that would also mean he is stuck at my house for ever!" Kagome panicked

"We will think of something... right?" Shippo asked

We all looked at each other a little concerned at wether it would even be possible to return Sesshomaru back to this time period, me I was more concerned at him staying in the same house as Kagome after all human or not he is still the same person that kidnapped Kagome.
