Chapter 3
Inuyasha had walked into Kagomes hut the next day, expecting his long time friend to be home like she always is he didn't bother to knock "hey kagom..." He stopped mid sentence, he looked around "Kagome? Shippo?" He lifted his head up and sniffer the air, but much to his disappointment and his aggravation she was no where to be found and thanks to the snow from last night her scent was faint. He ran out of her hut, he came to the hut of Lady kaede. He pushed back the curtain that had makeshifted as a door, almost immediately he spotted the three. Sango, miroku, and priestess Kaede "ok you two get Kirara and let's go. I'm going to go get Kikiyo, Kagome and Shippo are missing." Sango looked at inuyasha with an aggravated stare "or maybe she couldn't take it anymore and she..." cut off before she could finish her sentence, inuyasha jumped beside her "your not trying to say she killed Shippo and herself are you, stop being stupid she wouldn't do that" sango looked down, squeezing her eyes shut, miroku butted in and spoke for sango "of course she isn't saying that. I think lady sango was saying she couldn't take the ache of seeing you choose her ancestor over her, so she left." Miroku scratched the back of his head, he too looking down not wanting to look at inuyasha. He drove away their best friend because he couldn't let go of his past, now there in the state of uncertainty of ever seeing either of their friends ever again. Without saying anything else inuyasha left, after we was far from the hut all four kirara included let out an aggravated breath that they had been holding in "try not to judge him to harshly, he doesn't understand the seriousness of the situatuon" Kaede tried to speak in inuyashas defense but found herself at a lack of words, so she spoke best as she could. For a mouth the group searched for Kagome. They had gotten close to Kagome but was unaware of it...
Airvianna held Kagome up, the both of them staring at the door hearing someone coming in. All at once a loud high pitched squeal "MOMMA!!!" she was tackled to the ground by Shippo. He smiled and cried happily at the sight of Kagome awake and moving around in between sobs Shippo spoke "i...I'm so...happy...happy..yo...your ok momma" he hiccuped and sobbed more, Kagome laugh and held her little kitsune tightly to her body "shippo!" She said his name happily, it was sweet on her tounge she lifted him up to see his face. She smiled happily and wipped his face free of tears "are you ok Shippo, I was worried about you" Shippo smiled "yes momma I'm ok" he ran over to Koga "Koga has been taking care of the both of us" Koga blushed heavily and looked away, Kagome tried to get up again. Airvianna and Koga both jolted towards Kagome when she began to fall again "careful mate, your muscles need worked again. You need to take it easy and get your strength back first" Koga held up Kagome no problem, he arm wrapped around his neck, she blushed "th...thank ya Koga I really appreciate you looking out for Shippo" he smiled at her "why don't I take you outside for a bit so you can get some fresh air?" She smiled and nodded. He picked her up and walked towards the den, Shippo in tow behind Koga. Once the three was out in the main den the wolves and demons stared at the miko in their leaders arms, a loud yell of excitement and relief filled the cave. "Happy to see your up and better lady Kagome" one of the males yelled out, Kagome smiled and started replied before she was able to speak Hakkaku and Find a walked up "hey there sis!, how are you feeling now" she smiled at the two, they've always ment her well and looked out for her well being "better now thank you," they moved out of their leaders way. The three went out and sat by the waterfalls, Koga smelt the hanyou earlier and didn't want to take any risks, Kagome was still weak and just woke up she didn't need the stress. He sat her down and sat beside her, Shippo crawled into his lap he started to fall asleep. As hard as Koga tried it was in vane, inuyasha smelt Kagome and took off for her kikyo look toward him being the attention of the other to him as well "mate? What is it?" She had gotten on kirara much to sangos hatred and the three of them followed closely behind, when they landed the sight they saw shocked even Sango...
