Bwa ha ha! I told ya you couldn't catch me sucka!

"It doesn't count when you go into small places that my tentacles can't fit through!"

And whose fault is that? Anyway, now that Naraku is trapped in a little, tiny, baby corner over there-

"Hey!"

I can make another chapter! And I'll take my sweet time while I taunt this dude right over here! (Sticks out tongue)

"You do know that I'll get out of here sooner or later, right?"

Yeah, I don't really care!

The next morning, Sesshomaru watched the priestess warily as she rummaged through her bags.

"Sesshomaru," Kagome said. The daiyoukai lifted his eyebrow. "today you will finally" she pulled a plastic bag from her yellow pack, "taste the deliciousness that is" she pushed in front of his face "potato chips!"

Sesshomaru looked above the bag to the girl's smiling face. Their first day of travel had been very taxing, even from a demon's perspective. How could the human girl face the next day with a smile on her face. "I am not taking this away from your face until you try it." She said through her teeth. If Sesshomaru was more open, he would have chuckled. Then again, he had an image to uphold.

Slowly, he took the bag away from Kagome. She leaned over him, watching his every move. He opened the bag. Immediately, he could smell these so-called "chips". He didn't need his normal senses to do that. Still, he wasn't sure he wanted to try it.

"Oh, come on. They're delicious!" Kagome reached in a dug out a handful of chips. She ate them, savoring the taste. "See? No poison. Amazing!" Sesshomaru carefully took his own handful out, then carefully chewed one. Immediately, his eyes widened. He shoved the rest of the chips into his mouth. Kagome laughed out loud. "Chips! I told you they were awesome!" Sesshomaru didn't say anything. Instead, he kept emptying the bag. "Hey, give me some!" Sesshomaru lifted his face, then held out the bag reluctantly. Kagome took out another handful. As soon as she did, Sesshomaru put the bag back into his possession. Wow! Good thing I brought a bunch of bags back! His appetite's bigger than InuYasha's! Momentarily, Kagome's smile wavered. However, Sesshomaru was enjoying himself too much to notice anything.

"So, you're senses have changed, right? That's what you said last night." Sesshomaru didn't say anything, so Kagome assumed that was a yes. "What exactly does that mean?"

Sesshomaru held the bag upside down, trying to see if he had missed any crumbs. Sighing, he answered her question. "In nature, whether the Shikon no Tama is working mischief or not, certain things cannot be changed. When a man goes blind, his sense of hearing, or his sense of smell, or some other sense or combination of senses gain more power. That blind man might be able to use echolocation to make up for his lost sight. Now, this Sesshomaru's sense of smell and hearing. Those two are the most important. Ever since that night, they have lost their potency. So, by nature's law, some other sense must have gained what the other two lost. In this case, my eyesight."

"So, you can see in color now?" Kagome asked.

Sesshomaru looked at her. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Oh, sorry! That's some little dog superstition from where I come from. If you see in black and white or color, well, that's totally fine with me!" Kagome lifted her hand behind her head, embarrassed. Sesshomaru just glanced up the sky. "So, Karashima could see me because he was a raven demon, and raven's have notoriously good eyesight. Plus, according to you, he was a daiyoukai, which would enhance his senses even more. I guess that makes sense!" Kagome started laughing. "You see what I did there. Makes sense! Ha!" Sesshomaru turned to face her with something close to a smile on his face, but that was quickly wiped away.

"Sesshomaru," Kagome said, her tone more serious. Sesshomaru looked at her. "Why is it that we're having this discussion of who can see me? Why is it so much more complicated then before?"

"This Sesshomaru believes that the Shikon jewel shard is to blame." Kagome fidgeted a little. "What is the problem?"

"Well, yesterday, I looked for the jewel shard you gave me…and it was gone." Sesshomaru didn't comment. "It's not my fault. I thought InuYasha had taken it, but when we went there, well, it was obvious that he didn't have it. It was stolen! I know that much."

"The shard was not stolen." Sesshomaru replied, getting up. "We must leave."

"What? Why? What does that mean anyway, 'It was not stolen'?" Kagome imitated Sesshomaru.

"I mean that the only possible way this could have happened is if the jewel shard was at work. It is obvious that it was."

"Well, where is the shard now?" Kagome wanted to call him Smarty-Pants, but she had a feeling that the daiyoukai's good mood was fading fast.

"You'd probably know that better than this Sesshomaru, since you can sense the Shikon no Tama."

"I would, but I keep sensing that jewel shard is with me. But that can't be right, can it?"

Sesshomaru shook his head. "You should try to figure this out for yourself, priestess. I cannot hold your hand all the time." Sesshomaru went out of the clearing, Kagome scurrying after him, pack on her bag.

"Sesshomaru!" she yelled. His mood lasted even less then she would have suspected. "At least tell me where we're going!"

"To one who's sense have been heightened by the Shikon no Tama."

Kagome thought for a minute, then moaned. "You can't mean-"

"Koga." Sesshomaru finished her sentence. Joy! Kagome thought. Well, here's one thing to say about Sesshomaru. He probably knows more about what's going on then anyone out there.

"Kagome caught up to Sesshomaru. "Thank you, Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru looked down at her. No one ever said thank you to him. This girl, this human, is rather exceptional. He thought. He would never say it aloud, but…he was actually enjoying himself on this journey. What would he do when it was over?
