Kagome then walked out of Toby's room. She was glad the she finally got him to sleep. She then walked into Kari's room. Kari was staring out her window, "Kari we need to talk." Kagome then sat down on the bed and Kari sat next to her, "Your father is just a little protective."
"A little mom?" Kari said looking at her mother.
"Well maybe a lot." Kagome said looking at her daughter, "He is just…" Kagome couldn't think of anything to say.
"He just doesn't understand me." Kari said with a sigh.
"What do you mean?" Kagome gave Kari a confusing look.
"I don't know, he just doesn't understand me that's all." Kari then looked down at the floor. She knew what exactly what she meant. Kari just didn't want her mother to know.
"Ok, well it's late so get some rest." Kagome then hugged Kari, "He doesn't mean to yell out you." Kagome then walked out of the room.
Kari sat on her bed. She then turned off her lights and went to sleep.
Kari then awoke the next mourning to hear voices in the kitchen. She looked at her clock, it was too early for Sari and Toby to be already awake. She then pressed her ear up against the door to see who was talking.
"She hates me doesn't she." Inuyasha said as he sat on the couch. The guilt kept him up all night. He was tired.
"Not exactly, she just thinks that you don't understand her." Kagome said sitting next to him.
"That's the problem I don't." Inuyasha said looking at Kagome.
Kagome sighed, "Well maybe if you didn't yell at her so much you could understand her more."
"Well if she obeyed my rules then I wouldn't have to yell at her."
"Well you don't have to yell at her in the first place."
Kari was shocked. Her parents were fighting and it was because of her. Tears started to form in her eyes.
"I'm only trying to protect her." Inuyasha started to raise his voice.
"I know, I know, but a girl needs some freedom you can't keep her locked up forever."
"And how would you know!" Inuyasha stood up.
"I'm a girl!" Kagome was getting tired of this. She then heard Toby crying, "Oh great you woke the baby!"
"I woke it!" Inuyasha yelled.
Kagome headed towards Toby's room, "Poor Toby he hasn't gotten much sleep lately."
Kari then sat back down on her bed as she heard her mother walk by her door and into Toby's room. Tears were falling form her eyes. Kari then wiped her eyes and got up. She then opened her closet and grabbed her sword. She quickly got changed and she put her hair up into a pony tail. Kari then opened the window and jumped out. This time she landed on her feet since she was in her demon form. She ran into the woods with tears in her eyes.
Meanwhile in a castle, Naraku sat on his throne. He looked into a white cloud and saw Kari running into the woods. He gave a wicked smile. The cloud then disappeared, "Haku, come here!" A demon with long black hair with blue eyes appeared in front of Naraku. He was wearing a blue black and white kimono. He looked around 15 years old.
"Yes my master." Haku said giving a bow.
"It seems Kari has runaway from home." Naraku had a wicked smiled painted across his face, "Bring Kari here as a guest, we can't have her all alone in the woods at night, it is dangerous."
Haku grinned, "Yes master." He then disappeared.
Naraku smiled, "Inuyasha be prepared for the worse."
Sari and Toby were now in the kitchen waiting for breakfast. Kagome was cooking egg omelets her specialty, with some waffles, "Inuyasha can you please tell Kari to come to the kitchen."
Inuyasha then walked to Kari's door and knocked on it, "Kari breakfast is almost read your mother wants you to be in the kitchen now." He heard no response, "Look, I'm sorry about last night I guess I'm to over protective." There was silence, "Come on Kari you can't be mad at me forever." He then opened the door and saw that no one was there, "Not again."
Inuyasha then jumped out of the window and jumped on the roof. She wasn't there. Now he was starting to get worried, "Kari?" He then jumped down from the roof and he walked through the front door.
Kagome was setting the table when she saw Inuyasha come in, "Inuyasha did you tell Kari to come and eat?"
"Kari's gone." Inuyasha said sadly. Kagome then dropped a plate with a shocked expression on her face.
Kari ran deeper and deeper into the woods. She was already passed the sacred tree. Kari was tired of running so she rested under a tree trying to catch her breath. She was still crying. Kari wondered if they found out if she was gone yet.
