Oh no... the chapters are getting shorter again... We're all doomed!

Anyway, we're back to Kagura's POV. Some more plot. All that good stuff.

Please R&R, typo patrol, the usual.

Also, there shall be no updates for about 2 weeks, because I'm going a trip. I should start writing again when I get back. So, 2-3 weeks with no updates. Sorry!

Thanks!

It's dark. But at least my side doesn't hurt anymore. I thought dully. Am I dead again? Stupid wolf. If I am, I'll haunt him. I swear, I'll haunt him. Just as I was about describe the wolf prince in the most explicit language I could think of, I realized that I could open my eyes, which I promptly did. I found myself in a clearing that held the lingering –youki- of Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru?! What was he doing here? I pondered this question, and a couple other ones, as I took in the rest of my surroundings. I found Jaken, with a rather rapidly rising lump on his head and knocked out cold lying by a stump. What happened to that girl? Rin.

I stood up, first checking the wound in my side. But there was no wound. So I proceeded to prod Jaken in the side.

"Yo. Wake up."

Nothing.

Prod prod.

"Come on stupid." I muttered.

Prod.

"What?" He finally muttered.

"Where's Rin?"

"Where's... WHAT?!" The little imp sat straight up and looked around. Then he proceeded to run around the clearing screeching, "Rin. Rin! RIN!"

"Shut up you stupid imp. I can't sense her. She's not here."

The imp went white, which contrasted oddly with his green complexion.

"Mjhgjhjh." The imp muttered.

"What was that comment?"

"Sesshomaru-sama's going to kill me."

"Your problem, not mine."

"Please help me find her." He was clinging to her leg now.

"Why should I?"

"Because Sesshomaru-sama healed him, so you are in debt to him. So fulfil that debt by locating Rin."

"He healed me?"

"Yes. Now go find her."

"Fine. But you're staying here. You'll get in the way."

"But... but... what do I say if Sesshomaru-sama comes back?"

"I guess you'll just have to think of something."

I heard the Imp gulp behind me, but I proceeded out of the clearing, following a faint trail that consisted of Youki mixed with a human's aura.
