So, are all of you guys confused by the last chapter? I know Sara is cause she said so...I think...

Hiei: Beccako, what are you doing up this early?

::Glomps Hiei:: Cause I can't sleep!! MUWAHAHA!!! Plus I've been reading CYOA fics that are ReaderXHiei pairings! WOOT!

Hiei: -.-' Why are you reading those when you are already my mate?

Cause they're interesting to read. You need to start fanfics too, Hiei! You have a lot of fans, you know.

Hiei: And why should I care?

Hiei, you can be so mean at times, you know that? ::pouts::

Hiei: ::wraps arms around me:: I'll make it up to you later....

::Blushes:: Okay, that's enough of that. Anyways, thanks for all the reviews and let's get onto the fic before Sara yells at me for having such a long author's note! ::Strikes a heroic pose::

Hiei: Hn, damn fic.

Finding the Place Where We Belong

Inuyasha laid Sara down on a futon in Kaede's hut and Kaede instantly went to work on seeing if there was something the matter with her. Unexpectedly, Sara began to mutter incoherent sentences. (Sounds like me! ) Inuyasha hurriedly pushed Kaede out of the way and kneeled down beside her. Her human ears, which once resided on the side of her head, were now gone but two ookami ears could plainly be seen placed on the top of her head. "Sara?"

".....Inu....yasha.....ai....shiteru....Don't....DON'T LEAVE ME!!!" Sara suddenly yelled as she sat straight up with her eyes opened. She was breathing hard and there was sweat trickling down her face. Everyone else in the hut just stared at her. Sara gasped in surprise when she felt Inuyasha place a hand on her shoulder. She turned and looked at him. "Inuyasha?"

Chapter Thirty Eight: Half Breeds and Plots

Inuyasha didn't say anything but just stared into her eyes. There she was, sitting in front of him, breathing. She was alive and her scent was filling his nostrils. Her scent was no longer human but had return to her ookami hanyou scent. The scent that he loved more than any other. Before he or anyone else could do or say anything, Sara attached herself to Inuyasha as she hugged him like there was no tomorrow. Inuyasha was motionless for a moment then he wrapped his arms around her and brought the ookami hanyou close to him. Now that she was back, he never wanted to let go of her. Miroku abruptly cleared his voice gaining the attention of the others including the two hanyous. "What is it, Miroku?" Sango asked out of concern, seeing if it was something significant which it turned out to be.

"Is it just me or do you guys also feel a foreboding aura coming towards us?" Miroku asked them as Inuyasha continued to hold Sara though they were now the center of attention besides the question. Everyone was still for a second and didn't say anything. While this all happened, Sara peered over Inuyasha's shoulder as she looked around the room. Of course, a certain someone was missing. She turned her head and looked up at Inuyasha who looking down at her. She was going to ask Inuyasha about her friend who was missing but the words disappeared when she saw those two golden amber eyes peering down at her. The two just stared into each other's eyes like they were teenagers in love which they essentially are....but that's beside the point. Inuyasha unexpectedly let go of Sara and stood up. Sara just sat on top of the futon staring up at him. The inu hanyou turned his attention to the scent coming from outside the hut. Sara, Shippou, and Kirara could now smell the scent as well and understood why Inuyasha had tensed up.

"Father, you said you wanted to see me?" Rebecca asked as she slid open the paper doors to Naraku's room. The hanyou nodded and Rebecca stepped inside, closing the door behind her then sat down in front of her. They sat in silence for a moment before Naraku said something. "Our plans have been changed." Naraku suddenly told her. Rebecca just looked at him, wanting to know what he was talking about.

"What do you mean by that? I thought we were going to just wait for Inuyasha and the others to come here then attack them. What in that plan changed?" Rebecca asked in curiosity. Naraku smirked. "Ah, it seems that you will be leaving the castle instead of just staying here until Inuyasha is dead. That's how the plans changed. Rebecca, you will follow this plan, when I tell you it, without question."

"Hai, Father."

Sesshomaru began to walk again. The half breed was close but something told him that this wasn't what he was traveling for, that he was supposed to keep on going and ignored him. Plus, he did not feel like dealing with him at the moment and hoped that the half breed would not notice his scent. But he knew that wasn't going to happen when his name was called out. "SESSHOMARU!"

The inu taiyoukai stopped in his tracks and turned to face the source of the voice. It was his younger brother, Inuyasha. (Ha! You were wrong, Sara. It was Inuyasha not Naraku, though I can see why you thought it was Naraku cause he's a hanyou too, right? Yeah, well it was Inuyasha.) Inuyasha stood there with Tetsusaiga drawn, ready to fight him once again. His companions stood near him, also prepared to fight. Sesshomaru glared at them then scoffed and began to walk off. "I do not have time to deal with you, half breed."

Inuyasha and the others just stood there for a moment, surprised at the response Sesshomaru had given them. If he didn't want to fight Inuyasha, why the hell was he there? The inu hanyou raised a brow and sheathed Tetsusaiga and the others put away their weapons. They watched as the inu taiyoukai disappeared from sight. "Well, that was interesting." Sara said, startling everyone else. The others turned and looked at her. She just looked right back. "What? Do you guys have a staring problem or what? Never seen a person come back to life then talk?" (Actually they have. Hints Kohaku.)

"I'm sorry, Sara. It's just that it's been so long since we last heard you speak." Kagome told her, ignoring that little pull on her heart knowing that Inuyasha cared about Sara and not her. (And when she says it's been a long time, she's not counting the little burst out when Sara regain consciousness.) Sara just gave her a look then turned to Inuyasha. "Hey, where's Becca? She didn't die like me so where is she?" Sara asked the inu hanyou, knowing that if anyone would tell her the truth it would be him. Inuyasha scoffed when he heard the once kitsune's name. (I'm so loved!)

"She's probably dead somewhere in that forest we were in." Inuyasha told her bluntly. The ookami hanyou just stood there, staring at him in disbelief. He scoffed again and gave her a look. "Don't worry about her. She betrayed you and the rest of us. She didn't deserve to live nor did she deserve to die. Nothing she could do would repent for what she did."

"Well, that may be true but did you think that maybe, just maybe, I would like to have my best friend alive when I was revived if that was going to happen? Okay, so now my best friend is dead in some random forest and I'm alive and back to my ookami hanyou self. When the hell is this going to make sense?" Sara asked out of frustration. Once again, no one said anything as they stared at her. She turned and glared at the others. "I swear if you guys don't stop staring at me, I'll kill you all! Don't think I won't cause I will." Sara threatened them then shook her fist at them.

"Calm down, Sara. We don't know how you became human then when you died you revert back to your true self, either. And I'm sure that Rebecca could possibly still be alive." Miroku told her trying to calm down Sara's rage. She just glared at him and went after Sesshomaru. If anyone knew anything about Rebecca, it would be her, Naraku, or him. She didn't know and she certainly wasn't going to go ask Naraku about Rebecca when he had just killed her. So, Sesshomaru was the answer. She easily caught up to him, since she was running and he was just walking. The ookami hanyou slowed down and walked beside Sesshomaru.

"Oi, Sesshomaru, do you know the hell is Becca? Do you know if she's alive or not?" Sara asked him. Sesshomaru debated in his head whether or not he should tell him what he had heard. She probably already heard it from Inuyasha, Sesshomaru reasoned so he just remained quiet. The ookami hanyou sighed. "Well, if you were told by Inuyasha that she was dead too, then there's nothing you can tell me. But, question! Where the hell are you going, anyways? Shouldn't you be in the Western Lands being all Lord and crap?"

"Hmph. If Rebecca is still alive, she's probably going 'home'." Sesshomaru surprisingly told her, avoiding the last two questions that Sara had asked him. The ookami hanyou just gave him a questioning look. Before she was able to ask him another question, Inuyasha and the others came up behind them. Inuyasha had an angered expression planted on his face as he saw Sara with Sesshomaru. No there's nothing going on between them. Jeez, don't kill me. Anyways, Sara saw Inuyasha and she stopped while Sesshomaru continued on walking. "Sara, why the hell did you leave us to find my brother?" Inuyasha asked her, his eyes showing that he was hurt by this. Inuyasha's too dense to see that Sara was only asking Sesshomaru questions, not leaving them to be with the inu taiyoukai. I would kick her ass and then we would get into a fight then I would end up in a computer box, somehow.

"Don't worry about it, Inu. I was just asking the crappy Lord if he knew anything about Becca. All he said was that if she was alive she would be heading 'home'. Then that's when you and the others showed up and you asked me why the hell I left to find Sesshomaru and then I explained myself by telling not to worry about because I was only asking him if he knew anything about Becca. Then I told you that all he said was that if she was alive she would be heading 'home'. Then I told you that that was the time that you and the others showed up and you asked me why the hell I left to find Sesshomaru and then I explained myself..." Sara began telling Inuyasha. It was a never ending story. Inuyasha just stood there listening to her rant on about how she explained things to him. Finally, after about ten minutes, Sara got bored of telling the never ending story and went on to a different subject. "Hey, I think I actually know what Sesshomaru was talking about."

"What are you talking about? Are you saying that you actually have enough brain power to think that out?" Inuyasha asked her playfully. Sara gave him a look and hit him in the arm. "Anyways, Becca took me to this one castle when we were younger. She said it was her home and it was the only place where she lived with Naraku and her mom peacefully without her parents fighting. Maybe that's what Sesshomaru was talking about when he said that she was going home. She's going back to that one place!" Sara told him, happy to know that she actually figured something out on her own. I'm just kidding. Sara's smarter than that. We are both smart cause we're both in Geometry and she's in my class and it's a hoot.

"So, if she's home that means she would be with Naraku. Hey do you remember how to get to this one castle that's she calls home?" Miroku asked her, coming into their conversation though he was never invited too. Sara thought about then nodded. "Yeah, I think I do. It's a little vague but I think I can lead you guys there. We'll rescue Becca and killed Naraku. Yup, that's the plan. Now, which way is east?"
