The Higurashi family minus they're eldest, wandered throughout Tokyo. Coming and going out of any store they found. Kota rushed ahead of the other two. Causing his mother to worry that he'd be hit.

"Kota be careful!!" His mother yelled out

Kagome walked displaced from where she was. Unsettled by Inuyasha's absence from her departure. As it was unusual for the half demon to not argue with her as she leaves.

"Kagome? Are you alright? You've been awfully quiet" her mother asked in concern

"Oh it's nothing" she lied with a smile

Returning to her thoughts, feeling the Shikon Jewel shards. They haunted her even in the most precious of moments. Sometimes wishing she could be free of this responsibility.

Team Urameshi

The quartet had arrived by train still oblivious to their objective. The sea of people didn't make their odds well either.

"So what're we looking for exactly?" Kuwabara asked first as they left the station

"Unfortunately there was very little info on this item" Kurama answer

"Didn't Koenma say it was a person or whatever?" Yusuke asked

"Based on it's movements it's likely being carried by someone" Hiei answered

"Then we should keep a look out for this particular carrier" Kurama suggested as they continued

Higurashi Family

Kagome waited in a lounge of sorts, as her mother helped her younger brother try on clothes. Taking out a flask staring into crystals that lay inside.

"Kagome you ready dear?"

Leaving the store Kagome instantly felt a mass of energy. The energy was a mixture unable to figure who it belonged to.

Team Urameshi

Kuwabara stopped dead in his tracks. Glancing at those around him.

"What's wrong Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked

"He's clearly a victim of his own stupidity" Hiei answered mockingly

"Shut up! I feeling something" he shouted

"Like what?" Kurama asked with interest

"Like... I don't know how to stay it... pure spiritual energy I guess" he mumbled

"Where do you feel it?" Yusuke asked

"Somewhere ahead that's where it's pulling me anyway" he answered

As they proceeded the four split to cover more ground. On the far end the Higurashi family were prepared to leave.

"Oh no" Kagome said

"What is it dear"

"I'll be right back!!" She shouted running off

Yusuke looked out for the energy Kuwabara spoke of. Not having the natural talent his friend possessed.

"We aren't going to find it" he growled

Continuing down the street he could hear the sound of footsteps. Rushing towards him as they got louder.

"Excuse me!!"

Someone had bumped into his shoulder. As if timed slowed a flask had broken of it's cord. Landing upon the sidewalk.

"Watch it will ya!!!" Yusuke shouted to the bygone person

Glaring he glanced away feeling an ominous energy. At his feet shined the shards of the Shikon Jewel. Their power sealed, picking the flask up between his fingers. As the pulsing energy stayed contained. Tempting him with its power, but Yusuke resisted strongly.

"Urameshi!! Did ya find it?" Kuwabara shouted

Yusuke stood quiet examining the shards carefully.

"Hey what's that?" The psychic asked

"Don't know, but this seems to be important let's take it to the toddler and find out" he replied

Convenient Store

"Almost forgot about Inuyasha's ramen" Kagome spoke to herself quietly

As the clerk rang her up the young woman stood silent. Going to for her flask feeling nothing there. Patting quickly in a panic, checking each pocket and fold. No sign of the Shikon Jewel shards. After paying Kagome rushed out the store. Looking into every gutter, curb, and street. The shards weren't in any of these locations. A hour of searching the priestess sat done in a disappointed mood.

"Kagome!!" Her mother shouted from her car

"Mom"

"We've been looking for you!! Where have you been!!" She shouted

Unresponsive she rose from the ground and entered the vehicle. Telling her mother of the predicament.

"Maybe we can search tomorrow, it could still out there" her mother attempted to reassure

Kagome sat anxious, what if someone grabbed it? What if they sold it? Would it be lost in her world forever? These thoughts ran through her head violently. What's worse? What happens if Inuyasha finds out about her mistake?

As they arrived home Kagome stood with bags in hand. Staring at the Bone Eater Well, imagining the hanyou jumping out and scolding her. She needed to find those shards. Placing the bags on the table, organising them in her yellow bag. Getting everyone's favorites, hoping she didn't miss anything. The problem loomed over head, if she didn't retrieve those shards. The consequences would be dire and unpredictable at most.

"Where could they be?" She whispered gazing out her window

Past

Inuyasha stood inside Kaede's hut with a sour expression across his face.

"Why didn't she tell me she was leaving?" He growled

"You were no where to be found, and she needed to hurry back her family already worries about no reason to give them anymore stress" Keade answered

"Honestly Inuyasha where were you anyway?" Sango asked

The half breed did not answer, and instead stomped out. Leaving group confused and frustrated. Walking through the night his anger gone. Arriving at the Bone Eater Well he debated on bringing her back or not. Fist clenched he sat the entrance to think it over.

Koenma's Office

Team Urameshi had returned to the same bustling office. Seeing the childlike spirit at his desk.

"You're back, did you find the source of the spirit energy?" Koenma asked

"Maybe"

Yusuke dug into his pocket grabbing the tiny glass jar. Soon dangling it front of the spirit.

"Argh!!" Koenma shouted in shock

Hiei and Kurama widen their eyes in shock. Yusuke and Kuwabara stood confused as to what it was.

"What's the matter with you guys?" Yusuke asked

"Do you know what you're holding!?"

AN: I know too many cuts, working on it.
