Kari sighed. She started to have second thoughts bout running away once her stomach started to growl. Kari ignored the growl of her stomach. Then she closed her eyes. Haku then appeared in front of her. Kari in on second grabbed her sword and quickly stood up, "What do you want?" She said in a mean tone.
Haku put his hands in the air, "I come in peace."
Kari then lowered her sword but she had it ready to strike just incase, "Who are you?
"Name is Haku, might I ask what you name is?" He said as he put his hands down.
"Kari." She didn't want to give out too much information.
"Look lets cut to the chase…" Kari then put her hand up to stop him talking. Kari sniffed the air. She could smell her father and he was close.
"Oh no my father is near."
"Hug me!" Haku said.
"What?" Kari said looking at Haku with a weird look.
"Look just hug me and stay quiet!" Kari then hugged him and staid silent.
Inuyasha emerged from behind a tree, "You." He said pointing to Haku.
Kari then saw her father and closed her eyes waiting for her father to drag her back home.
"Yeah." Haku said calmly
"Have you seen a half demon she would be a dog demon about your age." Kari then opened her eyes in amazement. There she was right in front of her father and he didn't even notice her, "She has long silver hair and purple eyes."
"What are you talking about?"
"Ugh, never mind." Inuyasha then turned around and started to run off.
Once Inuyasha was out of sight Haku looked down at Kari, "Um, you can let go now."
Kari was shocked that her father couldn't notice her.
"Um Kari?"
Kari then let go, "Oh sorry, um how did you do that?"
"Oh, well I can basically transform into anyone and I can become invisible. Also I can make people invisible." He smiled, "Like they never existed."
"Why did you do that?" Kari was now even more confused, "You don't know me, I mean you could of just ratted me out."
"Well I do know more about you than you think." He smiled again, "Besides I would never rat out a pretty girl like you."
Kari blushed a little bit, "Wait what do you know about me."
Kari and Haku then sat down under a tree, "Well I know that you ran away from your home and that you don't get well with your father too well."
"Yeah I guess you can say that." Kari said looking down.
"Which is why I found you to come and take you to my master." Kari then looked at Haku, "His castle isn't too far from here." He then got up and extended his hand to Kari, "Come on lets go." He said with a smile.
Kari didn't know what to do, "Haku it is a nice offer and all but…" She looked to where her father had run off."
Haku then put his hand under Kari's chin and moved her head so she was looking up at him, "Do you want to be locked up in that house forever Kari?"
"But my mom and Sari and Toby." Kari said in a worried tone.
"Kari forget about them, you don't need them, besides if you go back what will your father do to you." Kari then remembered the fight they had last night. She remembered how he yelled at her. Haku then extended his hand again, "Trust me." Kari hesitated a little bit then she grabbed his hand and Haku then helped her up. Kari and Haku then walked deeper into the woods holding hands.
Inuyasha then returned home. He has been looking for Kari all day. Sari and Toby just ate dinner and were fast asleep.
Kagome walked up to Inuyasha as he entered the house, "Any luck?"
"No, I picked up on her sent but then all of a sudden it went away." He said sadly.
Kagome had tears in her eyes as she hugged Inuyasha. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagome and held her, "If only I hadn't yelled at her."
Kari and Haku then stopped to camp out for the night. They had a fire going with some fruits. Kari sat down under a tree and soon Haku sat next to her, "Why did you runaway."
"I don't want to talk about it." Kari said in a sad tone. Then she leaned her head on Haku's shoulder. Haku was surprised but he didn't say anything. He knew that Kari was already asleep. He then slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
