Kagome and Shippo had been in the Forbidden Forest later than usually, having been playing with the young demon children. The two tried running through the forest, trying to get back to the school before it was after hours. The two soon spotted Harry, Hermione, and Ron walking quickly back toward the castle. Kagome asked Ron quietly, "what are you three doing out here?"

Harry replied softly, "we had to speak with Hagrid about something. What about you two."

Shippo smiled softly before he replied in a whisper, "we were playing with the demon children and lost track of the time."

"We saw you three, so we decided to join you," Kagome spoke softly.

The two entered the castle but was soon stopped by Prof. McGonagall, who had Draco step out from behind soon after. The five glanced at each other before looking back at their House Head. McGonagall had given them the punishment of detention, which ended up being with Hagrid and going into the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid had paired Draco, Harry, and Shippo together, while Kagome, Ron, and Hermione were with Hagrid.

Kagome was sniffing around looking for the hurt Unicorn, but the scent was mixed with every thing else around them, making it hard to find it. Kagome suddenly stopped when she heard a terrified yell from Draco and Shippo. Kagome quickly ran toward her brother, hoping he was alright. She was almost ran over by Draco and Fang, who were quickly followed by Shippo, who was looking back repeatedly. Kagome stopped Shippo as she asked, "where's Harry?"

Shippo looked back, "I… I thought he was behind us."

"What's wrong, I haven't seen you this scared since…" Kagome began, but Hagrid appeared behind them quickly.

Shippo nodded, looking pale as the moon, "if it would have been wearing a baboon pelt I would have sworn it was him, but this thing felt different than him…" Kagome nodded as she placed a hand on his shoulder in comfort.

Kagome looked up at Hagrid, who was still walking forward, back the way Draco and Shippo had come from. Kagome quickly ran forward, knowing that if there was something in the forest that frightened Shippo, then she had to destroy it. When she stopped near Hagrid, she only saw Harry and a Centaur talking. Soon they had left the forest, making sure nothing was following them, though Kagome and Shippo knew that their demon friends were watching carefully, to make sure nothing happened.

Kagome sat up in bed that night wondering what it was that had frightened Shippo so much, she was worried for him, knowing he had been such a fearful kit when he was younger. Kagome almost jumped when she saw Hermione getting up from her bed, fully dressed. Kagome whispered softly, "where are you going?"

Hermione jumped as she quickly turned around to face Kagome, "I… um, we, erm…"

Kagome smiled softly, "only if I can go too, will I not tell on you."

Hermione quickly spoke, "you wouldn't, would you?" Kagome smiled softly, as though daring Hermione to leave without her. Hermione sighed softly, "alright, come on." They walked out their bedroom door, meeting up with Ron, Harry, and Shippo.

At the bottom of the stairs, Ron whispered, "Trevor, you're not suppose to be here."

Suddenly Neville stood from one of the large arm chairs, "neither should you. You're sneaking out, aren't you?"

"Now, Neville, listen…" Harry began.

"No, I won't let you. You'll get Gryffindor into trouble again. I'll… I'll fight you." He then put up his fists, trying his best to keep them from losing any more points for their house.

Hermione brought out her wand as she said, "Neville, I'm really sorry about this… Petrificus Totalus."

The others watched as Neville was put in a body binding spell, though Ron was the one to comment, saying, "you're a little scary some times, you know that? Brilliant, but scary."

Harry spoke softly, "let's go." He then walked past Neville, murmuring an apology, followed by the others, also apologizing.

The three wizards walked under Harry's Invisibility Cloak, while Kagome and Shippo had transformed into bugs, riding on their shoulders, having to stop twice for them to regain some energy. Once at the door, Hermione spoke softly, "Alohomora," unlocking the door. They walked in before taking the cloak off, Shippo and Kagome jumping from their shoulders as they transformed to their humanoid forms.

Harry spoke in a whisper, "we'll have to move his paw." Kagome and Shippo smiled at each other, soon moving the paw with ease. The five knelt down near the trapdoor once it was open, "I'll jump in first, don't follow until I give you a sign. If something bad happens, get yourselves out. Does it seem a bit quiet to you?"

Hermione looked back at the harp as she said, "the harp, it stopped playing." The others also looked back until Ron said 'yuck'.

The five First Years looked up, wide eyed at the large three-headed dog that was standing over them. Hermione, Harry, and Ron yelled as they jumped through the trapdoor, Kagome and Shippo moving away from the splinters from the shattered door. Kagome barely heard the three yelling their names, she quickly yelled as she dodged one of the heads, "go on, we'll be fine. Get done what you need to get done!"

Kagome soon heard Ron yelling in fear, but stopped herself from going to his rescue as she protected herself from snarling teeth. She soon didn't hear Ron anymore, but could sense his aura was still around, making her keep defending. Kagome and Shippo soon had to transform to their true forms, making both more agile and harder to keep up with.

Suddenly the harp began playing again, causing the three-headed dog to slow his movement until he soon fell down, falling asleep. Kagome and Shippo stood in a corner panting, looking up to see Dumbledore, Sesshoumaru, Prof. McGonagall, and Prof. Snape standing near the doorway. Kagome and Shippo walked slowly over to the Professors, their heads down, disappointed with themselves, both still weary from running.

Sesshoumaru knelt down and placed a hand on both of their shoulders, "it's alright. You did well. I'm proud of both of you."

Kagome and Shippo lifted their heads, nodding softly before sitting down as they transformed to their humanoid forms, too tired to hold their true forms any longer. Kagome weakly said, "I'm sorry, Prof. Dumbledore, but I couldn't hold my form anymore."

Dumbledore shook his head softly, "don't be, Prof. Snape knows about your true appearances, all the teachers the two of you have knew."

Kagome nodded as she and Shippo were both picked up by Sesshoumaru, "I'll take them to the forest, if you don't mind, they can recover better in their environments better." Dumbledore nodded and Sesshoumaru soon disappeared, with the demon twins in his arms.
