Ika sighed in defeat as she soaked her skin in her private springs.

Not far into the water she could hear her brother laughing at her.

Splashing his hair away from his face he turned to her, "So, Ane… How was your first two days with 'The child'?" he smirked, his red bangs dripping into his eyes.

"Leave me alone I'm trying to sulk…" her tentacle tuckering back into her skin.

He transformed himself back into a baby lion, and rolled his diamond like eyes

Giggling could be heard not too far along, "Ika-Chan! Where are you?"

She deepened herself to the water.

He crawled himself around the springs ducking his face closer to the water, to see her face, "So your just gonna drown yourself in water until the little girl goes away?"

She looked at him sadly, "You know I can't do that…. It's impossible for me to drown—"

"Okay, feel sorry for yourself."

She looked at him seriously, "There is nothing in my house that she won't touch!"

"Well, she is a little girl."

"Huh. Thank you very much for that obvious comment…"

"Ika-Chan!" was heard again.

She completely disappeared into the water.

"Wow hiding from a five year old?" he chuckled becoming a teenage boy," That's sad… I wonder what Kurai-Sama will say when he sees this."

Ika's mind raddled thinking of all the harsh things he might say to her:

'You can't even handle a child?'

'You are incapable of doing the most simple of tasks!'

'If you think I will let you serve me now, you are wrong.'

'Your uselessness might be contagious, leave me. '

'AHH!', Her mind screamed, he was right.

She stood up, "You're completely right! Kurai-sama will never let me become his bride if I don't do the simplest of tasks! I will be the kindest and sweetest of captures, and then he will definitely love me!"

He sighed, "Ehh, Whatever gets you to sleep at night…"

She smiled.

Ika watched as her tentacles became hands again, and ran off to find the child 'Kagome'.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

It had been at least two weeks since Inuyasha had been looking for Kagome non-stop, he barely stopped to sleep, sometimes leaving Sango and Miroku behind.

Inuyasha dash along the path of another forest looking for some or even just a little of her scent and it was rather difficult considering her scent had changed somewhat ever since she became a child.

Miroku and Sango followed up behind him riding on Kirara.

"Inuyasha, please take some type of sleep.", Miroku tried to convince him.

"Never." He said plainly.

Sango agreed, "You will wear yourself out if you don't listen!"

"I'm the reason she got captured."

"But you don't know where you're going!" they said in unison.

He didn't care.

He hurried to where ever the hell he was going.

He realized something while she's been gone, he actually missed when she yelled at him, he missed when she would talk about school work, he missed the smell of her hair.

But he didn't miss the fact that she was now a child he was going to find her and change her back right after he kills the assholes that decided to kidnap her.

'Hold on Kagome, I'm going to find you.'

The next night Inuyasha passed near a patch of catnip with ink near by making him pass out.

Shippo looked at Inuyasha worriedly, "Miroku is Inuyasha going to be okay?"

He smiled, "He'll be fine Shippo, no need to worry."

Shippo huffed, "About that idiot? Never!", he crossed his arms, 'Kagome, are we ever going to see you again?', he missed her so much.

Birds flew over shippo's head as Keade yelled to them, "Aye! Bring the ignorant Hanyo now, I have ye Medicine"

Seeing no one move she pace herself toward them, muttering something about "These younger ones thinking they know what's best"

She handed a bottle of herbs to Sango, "Do not give him all of that there bottle, ye will be needing it later"

Miroku looks at her confused, 'Why does she think we will use this later?'

As if she knew what he was thinking, "Ye will be needing it later, no question."

Sango let Inuyasha drink the strangely colored medicine.

"Ahugh! Ahugh!" Inuyasha eyes bulged out and he jumped up, "What the fuck!"

Shippo grinned ear to ear, "I'm waaaaaaaaay smarter than Inuyasha right Sango?"

She sighed put the cap back onto the bottle and replied, "Of course no question…"

"What! Who do you think you are Runt!" Inuyasha pelted Shippo on the head repeatedly.

"WHAAAAA! ", Shippo whined, "Kagome! Inuyasha is being mean to me! …..", Shippo quickly was silenced.

Sang and Miroku quieted down as well as Inuyasha looked at his feet.

He finally filled the silence with his whatever attitude.

"Well, What the hell are we laying around her for? We gotta go find the loud mouthed, irritating girl.", he said raising to his feet getting ready to take off after stretching his limps.

Miroku looked at him blindly, "Inuyasha, are you sure your well enough to look for kagome?"

Sango agreed, "Yes, we can tell your saddened now that kagome has been kidnapped and don't think you show look for her in your condition…"

He popped a bone on his arm and laughed, "What are you going on about..?", e go up and lifted shippo by the tail making him whine, "If we wanna find the jewel shards we have to find Kagome and to find Kagome we have to go now."

Sango Looked at him surprised to see his concerned and determined face. And nodded in understanding, "Lets- HENTAI!", Sango suddenly yelled and slams her boomerang on Miroku's head, "Damn Hentai! Couldn't you have waited to do that?", She looked at Inuyasha, "Lets just go….", leaving an semi-unconscious Miroku behind.

Shippo shook his head hear Miroku whisper, "Worth….. It…."

He rolled his eyes, "He never learns..."

Enzeru Kurai was start up his mix that concluded to this mission.

Doukeyakusha Kokugen appeared on one of the table he had, "Gooooooooooood Morning!"

Kurai face red, yelled at him, "Quiet you-!", he ran his hand through his dark purple bangs, "Do not make any noise I am trying to concentrate."

"Ooooooo Snappy.", seeing Kurai's eyes roll as he tried to ignore him.

"Why are you here anyway?', Kurai asked in monotone question.

Kokugen crossed his arms and looked over to him, "They have come looking for her."

He sighed, "I know. It'll will be done before they get here"

Kokugen snorted, "So when can we relive Ika of her duties and start our big surprise?"

"Soon! …It's not ready yet….."

He looked at himself in a mirror, "Whatever you say Kuraaaaai-Sama."

Xxxxxxx

Ika sat a watched Kagome run through the meddow of flowers listening to he constant talking.

"…He's not even human I don't think! But he likes me I know he does! And he's grumpy. I have grandpa! Did I tell you that? Well I do! And-"

'I wonder what Kurai-Sama would want with her as a little girl… from what I've heard about her from Kokugen she was useful as a ditsy teen. GASP hopefully Kurai-Sama doesn't have a thing for younger girls! If he does what will I do? I could get Kokugen to change me into a child but the would probably ruin the PLAN I don't even know what it is, it must be important for a my love to keep to keep it from me… Ugh I just don't know because I have to watch this girl, this child.'

"….Buyo's fat now, I don't know what he ate but he's really fat now…. Are you listening to me?", Kagome asked.

She wavered her hands at her, "Yeah something about a fat cat….."

"Yup!", She grinned.

"Okay can you just be quiet for a minute and sit down?", she said looking at the sky.

"…"

"It's so calm out here…."

Kagome broke out into a fit's of crying, "W-what? What is it? What's wrong?"

Kagome sat and wiped her eyes, "I-I-I….. I want Inuyasha!"

She looked at her seriously, "Doggie-man?"

"No! Inu-yasha!", She said in a angry slow way as if she didn't understand, "Where is he? Where am I? and why… am…I…", Kagome looked at her hands, then her hair, then her feet and her shadow and shook freaking out inwardly and out.

Ika didn't know what happened she wasn't supposed to know his name, remember her family, or realize that she was a child, "Now Kagome-Chan, I want you to just calm down okay…?"

She did the only thing she could thing of, "ahhhhh! What the hell happened to me? I-I-I-I- ", she fainted.

'oh no…. she fainted… she knows…. Kurai-sama… my love is going to think I helped her remember….. This is not going to look good on our wedding vows…"

Xxxxxxxxxxxx

He could feel his back ache again, and himself getting tired, but the one that he hoped he's hear but didn't want to hear…

"ahhhhh!"

"Kagome? That's Kagome's voice higher in pitch but that's her voice.", he raced toward the irking, ear popping scream.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx

"Ohhhhh noooo. Kurai-sama your aren't going to like this!"

Kurai-sama floated above there head reading something, grinning to himself, "Mwhahahahahahahahahaha! Now that I have done it, I will not have to be happy about anything again!"

Ika handed Kokugen the uncousious girl, "What do you mean Kurai-Sama?", she got all stary-eyed when she said his name.

"Give me the girl the mission is now almost complete."

"But… she knows….."

"It's doesn't matter anymore."

Kokugen put his hand on his hip confused, "But surry they heard the scream of-"

"That's what I'm hoping for…. Now the girl.", Kokugen hand her the child unsteadily, "Now! Ika-San are you ready to see the mission?"

"I don't know anymore, my love….."

"Nonsense."
