A/N: After a very long time I'm finally going to update. I know you guys waited long enough for this chapter so here it is. Standard disclaimers apply.
Chapter 10: The Search
It's been three months since their last encounter with Naraku and they still have no clue about Kagome's whereabouts except that Naraku has taken her.
"Are we just gonna keep doing this?" InuYasha exclaimed.
"We're not making any progress. It's been three months already and we still haven't found Kagome." He continued.
"Will you shut up InuYasha? Can't you see that we're all doing our best to look for her?" Shippou announced effectively shutting InuYasha up.
"I agree with Shippou, InuYasha. We've been searching for her for three months but we didn't complain about it." Sango pointed out.
"I'm with them on this one." Miroku stated.
"You too, Miroku?" InuYasha asked exasperatedly.
"If you're going to complain, you may leave now." Sesshoumaru spoke up suddenly.
"Who are you to tell me to leave? You're the reason why she's not here with us." The hanyou argued.
"Is that so?" The demon lord asked raising one eyebrow.
InuYasha kept quiet.
"If I remember correctly Kagome was asking you for a favor but you didn't agree with it. Now if only you agreed, this wouldn't have happened. Whose fault is it now?" Sesshoumaru said casually.
"It's not like that." InuYasha defended.
"What do you mean by that? Explain yourself." His half-brother demanded.
"It's not as if I didn't agree with it. It's just that…" InuYasha started but Sesshoumaru cut him off.
"It's just that you gave her a condition. You told her that she can only be Rin's mother if I left and we all know that that's not possible. Rin is my ward and wherever I go, she goes. So if I leave, Rin leaves."
After hearing that, Sango and Shippou were furious while Miroku ws trying to stop them from hurting InuYasha.
"How could you InuYasha? Kagome's request was so simple. Why didn't you just say yes? Why did you have to be so selfish?" Sango screamed.
"Sango please calm down. Being like this wouldn't help us solve anything." Miroku reasoned out.
"You're so stupid InuYasha! Ican't believe you." Shippou exclaimed.
"Everyone please calm down. We can't continue our search for Kagome if were not acting together as one." Rin announced calmly.
"Hn. Rest for a while. We'll continue our search shortly." Sesshoumaru instructed before walking away.
The others were left with no choice but to do as they were told.
"What's taking him so long?" InuYasha complained.
"One more complain from you and I swear to Kami-sama that I'll kill you." Sango threatened.
Luckily at that time Sesshoumaru came back so InuYasha gets to live longer.
"There's village nearby. We'll search there." The daiyoukai said.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go." InuYasha spoke up running in front of the group.
Sango was ready to throw her Hiraikotsu at him but Miroku prevented her from doing so.
"Sty calm Sango. Just ignore him." The monk advised.
"Follow the monk's advice tajiya. It will do you good." Sesshoumaru told her before following InuYasha.
Rin, Jaken and Ah-Un followed behind him while Shippou followed Rin.
Sango and Miroku soon joined them and they proceeded directly to the village.
"Have you seen a woman with raven colored hair that reaches her mid-back? She also has sapphire colored eyes." InuYasha inquired from a villager.
"Sorry. I haven't seen the person you're looking for." The man told him.
"Why don't you ask the village head? He might know something." The man said after a while.
"I see. Thank you." InuYasha said before finding the others and informing them.
"Hey guys, we should ask the village head. The guy I asked told me that he might know something." He told them.
"I already asked him and he knows nothing." Sesshoumaru informed them.
"What are we going to do now Sesshoumaru-sama?" Sango inquired just as Shippou arrived.
"Everyone, I asked this lady about Kagome and she said that she saw her pass by this village along with two demons two days ago." He announced.
"Did she tell you which direction they went?" The demon lord inquired.
"She told me that she saw them go east." The kitsune replied.
"Well, come on! Let's get going already." InuYasha said impatiently.
"Shippou did you ask her about Kagome's companions?" Sango asked.
Shippou nodded before answering, "She told me that Kagome was with a male and a female demon."
"The female demon is most probably Kagura but the male demon can be a new reincarnation of Naraku." Miroku observed.
"I can easily kill those demons so let's go already. We need to catch up with them." InuYasha told them.
"Don't be so full of yourself brat. Lord Sesshoumaru will surely kill them easily. He will be the one to get Kagome-sama back." Jaken spoke up.
"Why you…" InuYasha began but Miroku interrupted him.
"I believe that we have to work as a team for us to be able to get Lady Kagome back." The monk stated.
"Hn. Always be on your guard. Don't underestimate those demons." Sesshoumaru advised them before going east.
"They're finally on the right track." Naraku said while watching Sesshoumaru's group on Kanna's mirror.
"What will you do now Narku-sama?" Kohaku inquired.
"We'll let them catch a glimpse of her before you enter the scene and create a diversion. Kagura will bring Kagome back here along with Hakudoshi." He told him.
"Hai Naraku-sama." The young lad bowed before leaving.
"Let's see what their reaction will be when they see her." Naraku said before laughing.
