A general rule of thumb in such a rough place as Feudal Japan is it's always wise to make sure someone knows where you are at all times. One could never be sure what the evils running through the land were up to or who they would stumble across and kill.
So it was no surprise that when a worried taijiya showed up next to the pond where she left her irritated friend that she panicked. Kagome wasn't one to leave without letting someone know no matter how irrational she was. Plus something about the area didn't seem right especially that circular patch of dead grass some feet from Kagome's last known location.
She had seen that same circular patch of death several times before in her life but at the moment she couldn't bring forth when or where. However one thing she knew for sure and that was Kagome was gone and something about the area did not feel right.
She was going to have to get Inuyasha over here and see if his sensitive nose could pick up any clues.

"Ok the monthly meeting of 'The Cowardly Men's Club' will now come to order." Miroku called over the large group of men shifting about nervously in the clearing they hid in every month.
"Cowardly Men?" Inuyasha barked in the monk's face when he moved to stand in front of him. "I ain't no fuckin coward!"
Miroku took a deep breath and blinked slowly like the was dealing with a simple child. "Inuyasha are we not all here hiding from our miko friend?"
"No!" The hanyou bellowed. "We're all out here camping." He crossed his arms over his chest superiorly. "Every month we CAAAMP!"
"Yea we're camping." Several of the men within the group echoed behind the hanyou.
"Well I guess it does sound more manly." Miroku nodded thoughtfully.
"You're damn right it does." Inuyasha huffed. "We're just bonding; men bond all the time doing manly things like camping."
"Alright." Miroku agreed. "Though it still feels like we're hiding."
"Shut-up already!" Inuyasha growled and thumped the monk upside the head. "If you have to hide go somewhere else and us manly men will stay here and CAMP!"
"Inuyasha!"
The sudden feminine voice echoed through the clearing causing Inuyasha and several others hoshi included to begin to panic.
"Miroku?"
"Wait!" Miroku called instantly claming. "I know that voice; it's Sango."
There was a collective sigh of relief as the tension that seemed to sweep through the group of men settled.
Sango broke through the line of trees surrounding the clearing and ran straight up to Inuyasha.
"What?" He questioned getting in a defensive stance at the sheer look of panic on the girl's face.
"Inuyasha I went to the pond to check up on Kagome and she wasn't there!" Her eyes went wide. "I think something happened to her!"
The hanyou narrowed his ambers suspiciously upon the woman. "This better not be a trick woman."
Sango laid a fist to the side of the hanyou's head. "I would never joke about something like that; now hurry up and come on!" Before the hanyou could say one more word she was gone with Miroku right behind her.

"GET. OUT." Kagome glowered at the dark kumo standing in front of her.
"Do not order me about girl." He growled and narrowed his crimson eyes deeply upon her.
"I mean it Naraku!" She pointed a sharp finger in his face. "Get out of here before I purify you to hell!"
Naraku quickly snatched her by the wrist, jerked her forward, and leaned down to get nose to nose with her. "If I see one spark of pink your life will be null." He ground out in a cold deadly whisper.
Kagome at any other time in her life might have and indeed more than likely would have feared the male in front of her. However; she was a woman on the brink of losing her mind and it wasn't due to her P.M.S. either. "Don't you threaten me." She easily countered and gave a hard jerk of her wrist in an attempt to break free of his hold.
It was a futile attempt at best for he didn't let go and instead tightened his grip upon her.
"Fine." She suddenly smirked darkly. "You want to play dirty well let's play."
Before he could process what she was saying he suddenly found his limp manhood firmly gripped within her free hand. "Do not." He growled deadly.
Kagome arched a brow at him. "Are you going to let go and get out of here or do I make a new woman outta you?" Though she would really hate to purify his dick off since from what she could feel he was very nicely hung; VERY nicely.
Naraku released her wrist from his grasp fully expecting her to let go of him in return... well he was a very disappointed hanyou. She maintained her hold upon him as she locked stares with him.
"I have to say for the sorry bastard you are you're rather well endowed." She smirked at him. "I mean I always figured you'd either be the size of my thumb," she held said appendage of her free hand up for him to see. "or you didn't have any man parts at all."
He didn't know if he should be insulted by that or not. "Girl as you can so well feel I am more than well endowed. Now release me." He growled.
Kagome unconsciously... well maybe not; gave a gentle massage to the hunk of hakama covered flesh in her hand and smirked at him. "Oh I can feel alright."
"Stop that!" He growled and slapped her hand from his person.
"What?" She questioned innocently.
Naraku narrowed his crimson deeply upon her. "Take care of your issues and I shall fetch you shortly so we can solve this problem we share." Then before she could answer he turned and was gone in a swirl of navy blue silk.
