A/N: Wow I'm surprised that most of my readers are getting into the story. Thank you for those who reviewed and favorited my story. This fanfic is the one that I have lots of ideas for. I'm also working on another, but I don't think it will last long unless I get new ideas and quick and I got some more ideas for more fanfics that I'm hoping to start writing soon.

Chapter 10: Sharing Thoughts and Feelings

Weeks have passes since Katsu attacked Bankotsu and Inuyasha's group and since Yumi started regaining lost memories. She remembered all the people that were in Inuyasha's group, but didn't know who they were to her. By now, she was confused about everything and whenever she would ask Bankotsu about it, he never answered any of her questions.

Soon, they stopped to rest near a river. They all saw down and waited for Yumi to make lunch. When lunch was down, they ate in a uncomfortable silence. The silence was killing Yumi, but she didn't want to say anything. Finally, Jakotsu couldn't take the silence any longer.

" Ok that's it!" he yelled, causing everyone to jump, then he continued, " I am sick and tired of this silence and I can tell that Yumi is too. So you," pointing at Bankotsu, " and you," pointing to Yumi, " will make up right now so everything can be back to normal. We can't exactly fight Katsu without our two strongest members."

Yumi and Bankotsu looked at him and blinked, then they looked at each other for a second then looked away. ' Jakotsu, I don't know what you're talking about, but there nothing wrong between Yumi and me."

" Don't bullshit me big brother! Ever since our run in with Katsu, you two haven't said a word to each other and because of that, we all stopped talking to each other and the silence is KILLING me!"

Yumi and Bankotsu looked down ashamed. Jakotsu was right. Ever since that day, they have been avoiding each other and then no one started talking because of it. Yumi sighed and looked at Bankotsu and then back to Jakotsu.

" You're right Jakotsu. I guess Bankotsu and I have been avoiding each other." Yumi said. Everyone looked at her surprised and she continued, " but it's not like I'm mad at Bankotsu. Its just that so much has happened and there has been a lot on my mind that I didn't want anyone's help with. I'm sorry if I worried you all and for not sharing my feelings with you."

" Yeah same here," Bankotsu said. Yumi looked at him followed by everyone else, " I also had a lot on my mind and I didn't feel like sharing with the rest of you cause I thought that it was my problem to solve. Ever since we found out that Katsu was just using us, I was just thinking of what we should do now. I'm sorry if I made you guys feel uncomfortable and for not sharing my thoughts with you guys."

" Ok now that we have that done, can we please eat and talk to each other."

Yumi nodded, " Of course Jakotsu. We might as well share our feelings and thoughts to each other, right Bankotsu?"

Bankotsu looked at Yumi, smiled and nodded, " Yeah that sounds like a good idea."

So after that, they all started talking. They talked and joked around, laughing, having a great time, until Yumi picked up a scent (A/N: whoops I forgot to mention that Yumi is in her half demon form my bad so yeah she is in her half demon form). She sniffed the air making everyone look at her.

" Is something wrong Yumi?" Renkotsu asked

" I smell his scent." She said.

" Who's?" Suikotsu asked.

" That demon who works for Katsu. He's close, very close."

" What?! I'm gonna kill him!" Bankotsu yelled as he got up and reached for Banryu until something came at Bankotsu causing him to jump back in surprise, " What the hell?" he said. He looked to what flew passed him and saw a kunai with a note attached to it. He picked it up and started reading what was on it.

" Watch your backs. Who knows, some mist may come out of no where and cause a dear member to go missing. What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Bankotsu shouted after he read it. Then, just like what the letter said, a strange mist came out of no where. Everyone stood up and stood close together.

" What the hell? What is this?" Suikotsu asked.

" This must be his doing. He released a fog so that we couldn't see anything and attack us knowing that we won't be able to see him." Renkotsu said.

" Well if that's the case, then keep your guard up, all of you." Bankotsu ordered. A few minutes later, the mist disappeared just like how it appeared. All of them stood there dumfounded and confused.

" What the hell just happened?" Jakotsu asked for all of them.

" I know no clue, but that was really weird though. What do you think Yumi?" Bankotsu asked, no answer, " Yumi?" he asked as he looked around not seeing Yumi anywhere. Then he realized what happened and cursed.

" That bastard! He summoned that fog so we would let our guard down and take Yumi. That son of a bitch!" he cursed. He went for Banryu and once again, a kunai flew at missing, missing him, and with another letter on it. Bankotsu picked up letter and read it out loud as they all gathered around him.

" By now you should have noticed that your precious Yumi is gone. Don't worry, she is safe…for now. Oh and don't even bother to look for her. We are long gone from your little group and you won't find her scent since you guys are human. Farewell. That bastard! I'll kill him!"

" Claim down big brother. We will find her. Maybe we can have Inuyasha's group help us-"

" No way in HELL! I hate Inuyasha plus if he found out that Yumi is missing, he'll have our heads."

" That's true, but that guy is right, we are only human so we can't pick up her scent unlike demons. Also, Inuyasha is also Katsu's enemy so if we were to ally with them, we may have a better chance at beating him and we can find Yumi faster." Renkotsu said.

" Fine! We'll make two groups. Jakotsu and I will go search for Yumi while Renkotsu, Suikotsu, and Ginkotsu will go find Inuyasha and his group. If we find who we're looking for, we'll use these to let each group know that we found either Yumi or Inuyasha. We'll get the red one and you three will have the blue one and it doesn't matter how far apart we are, light these babies up and everyone can see it. Are we clear?"

" Yes big brother!" they all said.

" Good now let's go!" So both groups went their separate ways and find Yumi or Inuyasha. Both groups not knowing what might happen along the way.

~ somewhere in the forest~

Koichi smirked as he saw that Bankotsu and his group separated from each other, just like he had hoped, but it doesn't matter. He already had the girl and they won't be finding them anytime soon. Even Inuyasha's group wasn't even close to them.

He turned around to face the girl he just captured. She was asleep against a tree with her hands tied behind her back and her mouth gagged with a piece of cloth. She still had her weapons, but Koichi removed them from her figure and put them aside. He walked towards her and kneeled in front of her. He moved some of her hair from her face and tucked them behind her ear and stared into her face thinking that she looked peaceful when she was asleep. Soon she started to wake up. She looked up to see Koichi staring at her and she freaked. She tried to get away, but found that her hands were tied behind her back and she was gagged so she couldn't scream for help.

" I see your awake." He said.

" Mumpf!" she screamed through her gag. He smirked and reached for her. She closed her eyes thinking that he was going to hit her, but when nothing came she opened her eyes to see that he removed her gag and she was able to talk.

" What do you want with me? Where's Bankotsu?"

" Don't worry, Bankotsu is alive, for now and as for what I want with you, well I was sent to retrieve you."

" Damn you. I will not go with you!"

Koichi smirked as he kneeled down in front of her so that he was within her eyesight and reached out his hand and caressed her cheek. She stared into his once soft eyes to cold eyes.

" But my dear, you don't really have a choice. I mean come on, I have you, Bankotsu's no where around here, and your arms are tied behind your back so you can't use your weapons. So who do you think has the advantage?"

She gritted her teeth together showing her fangs. She knew he was right, but was trying to find a way out of her bounds so she could beat him to a pulp and run for her life, but so far, she was idealess and without warning, he hit the back of her head, hitting a pressure point, and knocked her out. Once she was out, he grabbed a new piece of cloth, tied to middle of it into a ball, and put it in her mouth. He then grabbed more rope and tied her legs together so she couldn't run when she woke up. Once he was finished, he grabbed her weapons, lifted her over his shoulders and walked away towards the northern mountains.
