They started in bars first. Asking everyone "Have you seen this girl?" of course half the people they asked had no clue what they were talking about. Then they just started to plaster her face everywhere. Somebody had to of seen something right? Convenience stores, markets, parks, still nothing. Then three days went by. Three days of absolutely nothing. "Toke?" Inuyasha offered him wryly as he spotted his hopeless friend sitting alone outside their motel. He took the blunt, and inhaled roughly. He figured he'd try and be a good friend. "How are you and Kikyo?" Naraku asked dully. Inuyasha shrugged. "We'll be fine. We're going to State together, so I guess I'll see how that goes." He mumbled candidly. "Or maybe I'll meet some hot senorita down here." He joked as they passed the dwindling joint back and forth. Naraku smiled briefly, but then his face fell again. "He would never like…hurt her." Inuyasha piped up again, inquiring about his brother. "He's a pretty twisted guy, but I know he has heart. Somewhere. Deep down." He murmured. Naraku nodded. That didn't ease anything though. He still wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
They made their home on the beach. Just he clothes on their backs and a pit of fire to keep the nights warm. "Once upon a time, there was this girl, and everyone loved her. But she only loved one special person. But she didn't know how to love. And then she died. The end." Kagome told her story as she laid flat on her back in the sand. Sesshomaru chuckled. She was a lot more fun when she was wasted. She just stared up at the moon wondering what Naraku could be doing right then and there. She let her mind close off as Sesshomaru began to kiss her. His hands traced her every detail, down to the mole on her hip. He loved having that power over her. "You have to stop thinking about him." He demanded rolling on to his back once he was finished. Kagome just watched the flames dance around before her eyes. Until she fell asleep.
She managed to break away from him for just a minute, surprisingly. The streets were packed. Some sort of festival or something. If he did end up noticing she ran off, it would take him a while to find her. "Fuck. What's the fucking number." She growled in the phone booth, as she frantically tried variations of a certain phone number. Her heart skipped a beat when she finally heard ringing on the other end. "Hello?" the voice asked roughly. Her heart stopped then. "Hello? Who is this?" he asked starting to sound irritated. Kagome swallowed the lump in her throat. "Naraku, It's me." Her voice whispered hoarsely into the receiver. He was quiet for along time. Trying to gather his thoughts. "Where are you?" he asked desperately. She wiped her eyes clear. "I don't know. Somewhere in Mexico. There's this parade…I don't know." She began frantically looking around. "I don't know. You have to help me. Please." She cried into his ear. It broke his heart. But the line went dead before he answered. "Hello? Naraku!" Kagome screamed banging the phone against he plastic booth. "Don't make a scene." Sesshomaru demanded pulling her arm along through the crowded street.
