"No." Sesshomaru said to the man on the phone while Dr. Higurashi drove. "What do you mean you followed the tracking devise we implanted in him and you wound up at my house?"
Dr. Higurashi shook his head while he drove.
"Dad." Kagome said from the back seat.
"Yes dear?"
"Stop the car." Kagome said.
"Why?"
"I don't want to get killed by your reckless driving."
Dr. Higurashi stopped the car in the middle of the street across from a gas station and next to a park. "You don't even trust your own father?" he asked.
"No." Kagome said as she opened the back door to his little car. "Love you Dad, I'll catch you back at home." She slammed the door shut and ran towards the sidewalk near the park.
"Drive Higurashi." Sesshomaru said and he had no choice.
Kagome watched her father drive away till she could no longer see his car. She took a deep sigh and somewhere deep inside her she hoped they would never find Inuyasha.

Miroku grabbed the phone after the first rang nearly out of breath. Sango had fallen asleep on the couch and he did not want to wake her. "Hello?" he said.
"Dr. Sango? My, how your voice has changed." A female voice on the line said. It was one of the operators for the institute.
"This is not Dr. Sango." Miroku said.
"Oh…well…can you please tell her that Number Five has been spotted down highway nine."
"Okay." Miroku said but he did not believe it was true. "Bye." He placed the receiver down.
"Miroku, who was that?" Sango said as she sat up rubbing her temples.
"The milk man, he said he would bring the milk early tomorrow."
"Oh, that's good then." Sango said. She reached forward and grabbed the small glass of water off the coffee table. She took a small sip before gently bringing it away from her lips. "Miroku." she said.
"Hmm?" Miroku had walked into the kitchen and returned at the sound of his name.
"You do know about Kohaku don't you?" she asked.
Miroku did not move for a moment, he almost seemed to be contemplating what he should do. He sat down next to her and shook his head.
"Well, you do know how he had multiple personalities…" she asked.
Miroku looked at her and nodded once.
"We used an experimental drug and well…he doesn't have multiple person-" Sango cut off and seemed to swallow an imaginary lump that was in her throat. "He doesn't have multiple personalities any more." Sango took another sip from the glass of water before setting on the table. She folded her hands in her lap and stared at them.
"Go on." Miroku said kindly.
"He has no memory. Of anything…of his friends, of his past…of-" Sango stood up and refused to look at Miroku. "I'm going to bed, Miroku. I suggest that you return to the clinic."
Miroku watched her reach the foot of the stairs before he spoke. "I would Lady Sango, but you see, I have no way of getting back."
Sango sighed and shook her head in a friendly fashion. "Very well Miroku, you may sleep on the couch. There are spare blankets in the closet there." She pointed to a door near the kitchen and started to ascend the stairs. "Good night, Miroku."
"Sweet dreams, Lady Sango." Miroku said. Sango disappeared from view and Miroku finished his sentence, "For you deserve all the sweetness you can get."

Inuyasha jumped from the top of an office building to the top of another taking careful precaution not to be seen. He landed with his knees slightly bent; he stood up and stared at the crescent shaped moon. Dark black clouds were floating through the sky slightly obscuring his sight of the moon. The moon was reflecting onto the clouds making them seem to have a silver lining. Inuyasha couldn't help but feel this must be where that old saying comes from. 'Every cloud has a silver lining.'
He sat down on the roof and made a heavy sigh. This roof would be his resting spot, he would sleep here tonight. He leaned his head forward slightly and allowed his eyes to close.
Immediately he started to dream. First he saw himself as a little boy throwing a ball down and running to a woman wearing a multiple layer kimono. Then he saw strange flashes of a woman with long black hair with a sad expression leaning over him.
Then he saw blood, gallons and gallons of blood; a woman screaming; a glimpse of a sweet smile; his name being yelled in frantic horror by the woman with the long black hair and sad expression. He heard an evil laugh echo, but then he can heard nothing. He saw the woman with the long black hair again. Her mouth was moving but yet no sound was escaping from it.
"Can't you talk?" he asked. But he could not hear it himself. She frowned and floated away from him.
Then all he saw and heard was darkness. His life was darkness. Then suddenly a burst of light exploded from nowhere and he had to cover his face to shield his eyes from it.
He then sees glimpses of a woman; green skirt; black hair; friendly, forgiving eyes; a warm smile. Then her whole body comes into view. She waves to him and smiles wider.
"Don't be so silly Inuyasha." He hears her say. Inuyasha glances to his right and sees a little boy playing with some small trucks. Inuyasha stands up and can't understand why he was sitting. He starts to walk towards her, his arm reaching out to her, but she is getting farther and farther away.
"Kagome…" he calls out to her.
"Inuyasha…" Her expression changes from joy to fear. She covers her mouth to conceal a scream and a masked man in a dark cloak appears and gathers her into his arms. He runs off with her, leaving Inuyasha alone.
Inuyasha tries to run, but his feet won't move. He calls out, but he has no voice. He can only hear Kagome's terrified screams. He can't make out what she's screaming at first but then he can hear it as clear as day:
"Save me, Inuyasha."
~
"We've spotted him." Koga said into the cell phone as he ran towards a 30 story building in the city.
"Wonderful." Sesshomaru said.
"What's wonderful?" Dr. Higurashi asked from the driver side of the car. He had parked it along the street to stake out a ramen shop. It was now sunrise and Sesshomaru was getting angry. Well, angrier.
"Okay." Sesshomaru said. "Well be there in five minutes, good work Koga." Sesshomaru clicked the phone off and turned to Dr. Higurashi. "Drive."
"What's wonderful?" he repeated.
"We've got him."
Dr. Higurashi started the car.

Inuyasha woke in a cold sweat. The images from his dream still playing in his mind and one voice echoed in the sheer blackness of his mind; 'Save me…' He shook his head to rid himself of the dreams and stood up, only to realize that a helicopter was flying just overhead. He had not been able to hear it coming so he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists almost enough to draw blood.
"Number Five." A man said through a megaphone. "Surrender peacefully and you won't be harmed. Do you understand me?"
Inuyasha glared at the man and hopped off the building onto a smaller one beside it. He would have reacted the same way whether or not he could hear the man.
"He doesn't." The man said, letting the megaphone drop to his lap. Inuyasha jumped from the smaller building onto a moving car on the street below. He bent his knees from the jump and braced himself with his hand on the roof of the car. He leaped up again and jumped onto a small car throwing it slightly off balance, causing it to veer onto the sidewalk slightly before the driver was able to correct the car.
"GET OFF!" A man in the passenger seat yelled as he rolled down the window. Inuyasha of course heard nothing.
"Should I stop?" the driver asked.
"No, continue to drive Higurashi, if we keep moving fast he can't jump off, unless he's an idiot." Sesshomaru said as he stuck his head out the window, he twisted it around and looked Number Five Square in the eyes.
Inuyasha stared at the man and he pictured him standing next to a lake wearing an old fashion kimono with an odd furry object over one shoulder. Inuyasha shook his head to bring himself back to reality, the image still present in his mind. It was like he was seeing peaces of his past, in little bits.
"Now." Sesshomaru said slowly. "Come home."
Inuyasha tried to make out the words the familiar man was speaking but he was unable to read his lips. Inuyasha continued to glare at the man while Dr. Higurashi turned around a corner.
"Number Five." Sesshomaru said loudly while Inuyasha continued to grip the roof of the car firmly.
Inuyasha could make that out. He saw Sesshomaru's mouth curve into an N and saw his lips meet at a V. He was tired of being called that. "NO!" Inuyasha yelled loud without realizing it.
Sesshomaru was speechless for a moment.
"MY NAME IS INUYASHA!" He yelled and jumped off the car.
"You fool! You'll die from the impact!" Sesshomaru yelled.

"Come on Kagome lets go to the mall!" Eri said to her friend as they walked along the sidewalk past many stores.
"I don't know." Kagome said as she clenched her math book against her chest.
"What's a matter Kagome, you haven't been yourself at all today." Yuka said as she put a caring arm around Kagome's shoulders.
"Well…" Kagome said.
"It's a boy isn't it?" Ayumi said eagerly.
"Uh…"
"That means yes! It is! Oh tell us, who is he?" Yuka said as she removed her arm from around Kagome's shoulders.
"What did he do? Did he break your heart? Cause if he did-" Ayumi made a fist.
Kagome chuckled and shook her head. "It's nothing like that at all."
"Oh come on Kagome, you can tell us." Eri said.
"Well, he has the most gorgeous golden eyes…and…" Kagome trailed off as she heard a car screech around the corner and onto her street. Her friends also turned to the car. Hanging onto the roof was a man with long white hair. Another man was sticking his head out the window he also had white hair. Kagome gasped and dropped her math book as she ran towards the car. She remained on the sidewalk.
"MY NAME IS INUYASHA!" She heard him yell just as he pushed off the car.
"You fool! You'll die from the impact!" She heard the other man say.
"Inuyasha!" she yelled and ran towards where he was going to fall.
Inuyasha turned in mid air and saw Kagome standing in his landing spot. Then Inuyasha realized that at the speed he was going and at the trajectory he was falling he would die from the impact of hitting the concrete, but if Kagome stood in his way…she would die.
"Inuyasha!" She screamed again and held her arms out in front of her. She clenched her eyes closed and tears streamed down her cheeks.
'Would she give her life for me?" he thought just before impact. And then he realized he didn't hit her or the pavement but pillows. He hit dozens of fluffy white pillows. He bounced up slightly and landed on his back on the pillows. He stared straight up at the clouds in the sky unable to comprehend what had just happened.
Hadn't he just seen her standing here? And then suddenly she wasn't? What the hell?
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said and ran next to him. She knelt down, "Are you okay?"
He nodded and sat up.
"Hey!" A man ran out of a shop and looked at the pillows. "My pillows!" He yelled and made a rude hand gesture to Kagome as he instructed one of his workers to retrieve the pillows.
Down the street a car screeched to a halt and turned around. Kagome continued to smile as she spoke, "Thank goodness you're okay I was worried. You should go now, they're coming back." Kagome stood up.
Inuyasha also stood up. "But how, what, pillows…huh?"
Kagome laughed.
"How did you…?"
"Go now! Hurry!" Kagome said.
Inuyasha brought his eyebrows together in anger. "Don't tell me what to do."
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said frantically.
Inuyasha nodded once and jumped high into the air just as a tranquilizer dart flew past him. Unfortunately it hit Kagome in her shoulder. She took a mere step back from the impact, but continued to stare upwards and watched Inuyasha jump from the lamp post to a building and onto another building. She remained standing till she could no longer see him, or was it till she fell to the ground from the tranquilizer? She doesn't know. She only knew she just had to stay standing or he would return for her. And he must not return for her. If he does…he will be captured.
"Kagome!" Dr. Higurashi ran from the car towards his daughter. Eri and Ayumi had caught Kagome before she had hit the ground and they were carefully lowering her towards it.
"What is that?" Yuka asked pointing to the dart in Kagome's shoulder.
"Tranquilizer dart." Eri said sadly.
"It was meant for that man." Ayumi said.
"I think that man was the one Kagome was beginning to tell us about." Yuka said.
"Nonsense." Eri said just as Dr. Higurashi arrived next to his daughter.
"You idiot Sesshomaru!" He yelled.
Sesshomaru said nothing and his expression revealed nothing. He merely lowered the tranquilizer gun to his side and looked off in the direction Inuyasha had taken.
'My name is Inuyasha!" He recalls him saying.
"I know your name, brother." Sesshomaru nearly whispered.
**********************************
This is only slightly shorter than my other chapters but still rather long. I hope you enjoyed this edition because now it starts to get exciting!
Thank you, everyone who reviewed.
Sacredmist- Happy? My ass may be lazy, but it is one hard working lazy ass…wait…isn't that an oxymoron?
Scorpiogirl- This chapter probably confused you even more.
Poison Claws- Suspense is my middle name. And you are awesome, cause I can't tell a lie. ^_^
Poe's Heir- I write all my stories as if I were writing a book. I believe that all chapters should almost be a mini book in themselves. Of course a mini book with an evil cliffhanger, but you get what I mean.
Stukikage- Yes, Inuyasha was not always deaf. I will tell you now that he became deaf after fighting a terrible battle, to save someone. Hmm…I wonder whom? Could she have long black hair and a sad expression, perhaps?
Kayte- Deal.
Wizardess Girl- I've always spelt it with no U and I will always spell it with no U just like a spell Shippo with no U. Sorry, it's just the way I've always done it.
Chibi Angel Sama- I'm glad you like my story and I will try and read your story. I hear it's very good.
K-shin- It's not fear for Kagome it's more fear of 'losing' her.
Toku-chan- I thank you for your advice. I really do! I love to get reviews telling me I spelt something wrong or worded something incorrectly. I'm serious here! And you are so right about the plot thing. But I think I have it now. This chapter is a little confusing though, even for me. I hope you continue to read, and to help!
Queen of the Spork People- I promise not to be mean to Koga. I actually like the guy. Oh and by the way, I like your name, very original.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry it took some time to get out, but I'm always sorry.
Check out Spellcaster soon, it will have a new chapter by tomorrow (11-26) or the day after (11-27). Thank you! And if it doesn't I am most likely tied to a stake as a human sacrifice to the mighty cotton gods. All hail the cotton gods…*Quickly looks from right to left and continues typing*
