"InuYasha, we have to find them." Miroku started when he noticed Sango was freaking out, "What's wrong San-" **slap** "He'll never learn" Shippo said sighing. "Will you guys hurry up. We probably don't have much time left. Let's go." InuYasha and the rest of the gang set off after Kagura. "Do you have their scent InuYasha?!" Sango called out from behind him. "Yeah. They can't be too far up ahead!" InuYasha yelled back at her as he ran onward. Kikyo, I'll save you. Hang on until I get there!
"Miroku, what do you think's going on in InuYasha's head right now?" Sango said looking at InuYasha with a concerned face. "I'm not sure dearest Sango, but, whatever Naraku and Hakudoshi are planning can't be good on any level." Miroku said looking at InuYasha as well. "I just hope that idiot doesn't run to Kikyo when Kagome's in danger, that would be his dumbest mistake ever." Kirara and the others nodded in agreement. "Mhmm". As they raced forward they noticed that InuYasha was getting farther and farther away. "InuYasha, slow down!" Miroku called after him. "It's no use, even if he could hear you, he's not stopping for anything if Kikyo and Kagome are in danger. He's probably going fast enough to run on water." Shippo said shaking his head. "In that case, Kirara, you need to go faster, if we loose InuYasha we'll never be able to find Kikyo and Kagome."

This is so boring! I'm always left with that kid's dirty work. "Kagura." Hakudoshi walks up to Kagura with a rope in his hand. "Tie Kikyo to that rock over there. Near the edge. Then tie up Kagome on that side with the tree." Kagura sighed and did as she was told, she tied Kikyo up to the rock with the rope, while she was tying up Kagome, she regained consciousness. "Kagura!", Kagome says glaring up at Kagura. "Nothing personal, just following orders." Kagura replies coolly. "Kagura, come here." Hakudoshi says, "Listen Kagura, if anything is to go wrong with this plan and either of them is to escape, it will be your life on the line. Got it?" Damn you Hakudoshi! "Just remember Kagura, it's either them, or you." Kagura glared with hatred at Hakudoshi. She then glanced back at Kagome wriggling to get free of her ropes. 'it's either them or you' she quoted in her mind.

InuYasha stood on a rock by a waterfall sniffing the air, he'd lost their scent! Dammit! InuYasha sat down at the bank of the river bed, he stared at himself in the water, What could they want with Kikyo and Kagome? Why are they doing this...? I need to save them! I mustn't give up! With that he rose and began running again, the scent was headed in this direction, and they do want me to find them, so the scent couldn't pick up far from here. InuYasha leaped from tree to tree, determined to save both Kikyo and Kagome, but what he didn't know, he could only save...one.
Miroku and the others were too far behind to know where InuYasha had gone and were just going around in circles, completely lost. "What do we do now?" Shippo asked concerned. "I'm not sure Shippo." Sango answered. "What really concerns me is why Naraku and Hakudoshi called us to help Kagome and lady Kikyo." Miroku said climbing off of Kirara's back. "What do you mean Miroku?" Sango asked as she too jumped off Kirara's back. "I mean, if they wanted them dead, wouldn't they have just killed them already? And, when Kagome was abducted, why was it that Kagura only took Kagome...why didn't she take Shippo as well?". "Not that I'm complaining..." Shippo added under his breath. "Good point." Sango said. Miroku began to pace. "Something has me thinking, this has more to do with InuYasha then Kikyo and Kagome, or any of us for that matter. This is a trap to get InuYasha... and then Kikyo and Kagome." Miroku said finally coming across the answer. "But, even if it is a trap InuYasha will go right into, just to save Kikyo...poor Kagome, she's being totally neglected" Shippo said with a sigh. "In any case, we must take caution to our approach, we muust find InuYasha." Sango said climbing onto Kirara's back.
...
InuYasha kept running. He ran for what seemed to be hours when he began to sniff the air What's this scent, it's not Kikyo or Kagome...not Hakudoshi or Naraku...not Sango, Shippo,Kirara or Miroku...it's...saimiosho! Did they come to find me...to lead me to Kikyo? InuYasha ran into a clearing "Over here you stupid bugs! Where is Kikyo?" he demanded, but the bugs just flew off. InuYasha got very mad when he noticed they stopped midway...to wait for him.
