-Normal POV-

"Grrr. What are you doing here?" Inuyasha really hated this guy. He had a bad feeling about him.

The dark brown cat stood there, unmoved. "Oh, how rude of me. My name is Tigerclaw." He put up an evil smile. He stood there, with the morning sun shining on his fur.

Finished looking at her paw, Kagome smelled another cat standing by the entrance and decided to check who it was. She walked up beside Inuyasha. She peeked over his shoulder to find a brown cat. She came just in time to hear his name.

"…Tigerclaw."

'What a fierce name.'

Taking notice of the she-cat besides Inuyasha, Tigerclaw looked over at her. "And you must be Kagome. I must say, it's quite a weird name you have there." He tried to sound as "kind" as possible, even though he was far from it.

This just mad Inuyasha madder. He shouted out, "What do you want anyways?!" He shouted in his face. Kagome was taken back at his sudden outrage, but just put it aside as stress building up for him. She looked around, seeing if anyone noticed. Luckily, no one heard him.

Tigerclaw than sneered a little. He was getting on Inuyasha's nerves.

'This is good. I'll keep an eye on him, just because it fun to mess with others.'

"Well, I just wanted to see if you guys were doing ok. Hope you are enjoying your stay."

'Ya, like I'll ever do that in my life.'

Tigerclaw started walking off, swishing his tail bath and forth, knowing that Inuyasha was getting mad. He loved causing chaos. Almost as fun as watching cats scream in pain.

Kagome stood besides Inuyasha, which had a disgusting look on his face. "Hey. What's wrong kitty cat?" She was feeling in a good mood today, despite what happened earlier.

"Nothin," said Inuyasha. He put his tail around Kagome. He was starting to hate this place more and more.

Kagome was a little shocked at his tail. Blushing slightly, she asked him to remove his tail. "Umm, Inuyasha. Not that I don't mind or anything…but could you…remove your tail…from me?" She quickly looked down, too afraid that he was going to see her red face.

Noticing what he done, he removed his tail as fast as he could. He was also starting to blush. His tail sliding to the other side of himself.

A few minutes of silent was in between them now. That's when Kagome decided to speak up. "We should probably go and talk to Sandstorm. She was going to show us around." Choosing to ignore the friendly meeting, she trotted down the rock path. She started to follow the scent of Sandstorm that she so carefully tried to remember.

Inuyasha quickly made the decision to follow her. They walked down the rocky path, which was actually run down a lot. It seemed like a lot of cat walked down this path. If you stared long enough, you could probably see footprints. They stopped at a den. It was wooden and had leaves and vines on top. Kagome peeked inside as found 3 cats sleeping inside. She sniffed the air, trying to locate Sandstorm without waking everyone else. That's when she turned around and found her right behind her.

"EEP!" Kagome fell down on Inuyasha feet. She was loud enough to stir a few movements form a cat or tow inside. She looked up at him who was looking at her.

"What are you doing?" Inuyasha asked. She was really weird sometimes. He saw Sandstorm behind her, but didn't want to ruin whatever Kagome was doing.

Kagome quickly got up and stood next to Inuyasha. She was ashamed at her clumsiness.

"So, you guys ready to explore for a bit?" Sandstorm cheerfully said. She was cheerful today. It's not every day you get new visitors.

"Keh, let's get moving." He started to follow Sandstorm, with Kagome trotting behind him. Sandstorm had shown them the whole camp, and greeted them to mostly everyone, though not everyone was at camp. There were some grumpy ones and the little playful ones, too. Kagome found them irresistible.

"There are some really nice people here. Don't you agree, Inuyasha?" Kagome loved meeting new people. She doesn't know why, she just does. She looked up at him, waiting for an answer.

"Ya…and some really mean ones" He whispered the last part to himself, not wanting anyone to hear. He found it boring, actually. He didn't care about these people. He just wanted to get back to their original form and home. Kagome on the other hand, found this as a once in a life time opportunity.

Sandstorm started to walk towards the overgrowth hanging over the entrance to the camp. It was hidden cleverly. "Now this is where you have to keep close to me. You don't know when some trespassers or wild dogs will come by." She snickered the dog part. Anyone could tell she hated dogs, especially what they did to Thunderclan.

For Inuyasha, this was trouble, sense he was technically a dog. He looked down at Kagome who was smiling at the comment.

'Damn women'

Sandstorm showed them the Shadowclan border, explaining about them and everyone's rivalry against each clan.

Then they came across the Thunderpath (That's what the cats called roads). Sandstorm peeked her head out of the bushes, to see if any monsters (cars) were coming down the Thunderpath. There weren't any.

Seeing her pop her head back in, Kagome wondered what she was doing. "Eh-"

That's when she motioned them over to her. They followed her. "This is the Thunderpath." Kagome looked over the bushes and saw a black road.

'So they must call roads Thunderpaths.'

Inuyasha just peeked over across the road, not finding it interesting. He did find interesting though was the pair of eyes that were looking down at him.

Curiosity getting the best of him, he ran out on the road.

Sandstorm saw this and yelled, "YOU IDIOT! Do you want to die!?" She was about to run and drag him back when a monster started speeding towards him.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled, hoping that Inuyasha wasn't going to get hit by the car. It was a red truck that started to charge down the road.

That's when Kagome quickly jumped out of the bushes towards Inuyasha who was frozen in fear for some reason. She reached him just in time. She slammed into Inuyasha, knocking both of them to the other side of the road.

Sandstorm just took a big sigh of relief. Both Inuyasha and Kagome were lying on the ground. That's when Inuyasha snapped back into reality. He looked around, finding Kagome. "Kagome! You could have been killed!" He stared at her, who was still lying on the ground from the impact and all the fear that was consuming her.

"Weeell, sorry! I was only trying to save your life! You could have been ran over and smushed like a pancake!" She had a little headache from that tackle. She was really made at him now, yelling at her for no reason.

Inuyasha turned around, not wanting see her banged up after trying to save him.

'Feh'

That's when he saw Sandstorm start running across the Thunderpath, careful not to run when a car was coming. She got across safely and ran over to Inuyasha. "You are really lucky. You better know that."

She looked over him, trying to see if he was hurt. "I'm fine. You should go check on Kagome." He motioned to where Kagome was.

Sandstorm walked over to where Kagome was so post to be. "Umm, where is she? She's not over here." Sandstorm looked back, seeing if she was around him.

Hearing this, Inuyasha quickly ran over to her, seeing if what she said was true. Indeed it was. Now he was worried.

'Where did she go now? It's not like she could go back to the well. She better not of ran away.'

Though his thoughts didn't match his actions. He was franticly searching around every tree, looking for any sign of his Kagome.

Sandstorm started sniffing around, looking for any trace of where she walked off to. Everyone left a scent trail, unless it raining which washes away any scent left. To her surprise, her scent ends right where she was lying down. She shouldn't have left that spot.

She ran over to Inuyasha, who was desperately yelling out for Kagome to come out. "Hey! Her scent line doesn't leave her spot. It's like she just floated into the air and disappeared."

Inuyasha knew this was impossible, but how did she disappear? That's when he remembered the eyes that were staring him down.

Thinking that those eyes must have something to do with Kagome's disappearance, he ran over to where he last saw them.

Climbing up the tree, he sat on the branch where he thinks he saw the eyes. Leaves surrounded him.

That's when he smelled someone familiar.
