White Snow

I do not own InuYasha. As well thank you all for your reviews. As well, I appologize for the long absence in my story...Ive been very busy lately and I am very sorry. Now on to the story that I hopefully believe is good.

Chapter 53: Sesshomaru's Absence

Kagome went, to her normal classes and trained under Oniko as she normally did. Every now and then, she would go closer to the withdrawn miko and asked of her condition. She was worried, about her since she witnessed yesterday's incident. Although, they all were preoccupied, it was time for them to return home. But, for Kagome it was high time for her to go to her side training sessions.

Oniko dismissed them as she sighed and let her shoulders hang before re-entering her home and sitting on the ground. Kagome had followed her, in making sure to knock and stir her teacher into grabbing her bow and arrows and turning them on her. As, she stepped in Kagome quietly asked Oniko, if she was fine.

"Um, Oniko I know this is getting old, but I am concerned. Are you sure that you are okay." Kagome asked as she walked over to the older woman.

"I am fine Kagome, thank-you for asking." she replied as she began to fix herself something to eat.

"Have you tried talking?" Kagome tried to suggest.

"No, I can't find him, he's always found me." Oniko said sadly.

"Maybe if you try then, he might appear again? Is there a place that you know he might come for you at?" Kagome pushed.

"Yes, there is one. That is if he will even think of going there." Oniko stated as she continued to busy herself.

"Well, then it wouldn't hurt to try. It would be like getting some fresh air or taking a walk." Kagome pipped.

"Thank-you Kagome, but shouldn't you be heading home?" Oniko implied.

"Ah, yea I should shouldn't I." Kagome answered as she turned to take her leave.

Kagome turned and left the comfortable home and headed down the dirt wide path to the edge of the woods. Heading inside she proceeded to walke through the spring spelled land and to the spot that she normally met Sesshomaru at. But she didn't notice a village girl that normally bullied her follow her in.

Making it into the clearing Kagome sat down on the grass and waited patiently. Although, normally he was there before she was. And unknowingly, there was a village girl hiding behind a tree watching her to see what she was up to.

As, busy as a bee was his home. His mother even manage to get InuYasha busy before he had a chance to escape. His mother insisted that he stay at home for once and relax. And she made absolutely sure that he was going to stay at home to. Everyone around the house was informed that he was not to leave the grounds.

Staying in his room elbow on his knee he looked out the window. And let one of his fingers twitch., as he was satisfied that the ribbon worked. He then removed his clawed hand from his face and like he was silently telling someone to come here he let his index finger curl.

The breeze felt wonderful to Kagome as she remained sitting there. But, she felt something tugging on her right wrist so she looked at it and saw nothing.

"Maybe, he is absent?" She said to herself.

Padding her feet back and forth she shook her head. And as, Kagome did such the teen girl that was watching her slowly backed away and headed back to the village. Making sure to not make a sound that would attract Kagome to her direction.

Kegome looked down as she felt a stronger tug, and soon after she was being dragged by the ribbon once, again. Much like when she was being chased by that demon. Still, she did not know when, it was going to attack again, but she knew it was no where near done with her. As, she continued to be dragged to who knows where she enjoyed the wind blowing.
