-- 'She. . . will. . . never. . . give them. You're wasting. . . your. . . time!' but inside his heart, he knew she would. And that made him far more afraid than he had been when it was his own life in danger. He had to find a way out of this! --
Seshomaru stood gazing out through the forest, watching the path, the wind whipping his hair around his face. He smelled the morning air and a smile slowly spread across his face.
'What do you smell, Seshomaru?' an annoyingly squeaky, nasal voice behind him said. He did not have to turn to know who it was. The small rat- demon, who was good at magic despite his annoying nature, had been staying with him for several weeks now. It was his magical cage that kept Inu Yasha, that dratted hanyou, locked up. It was also his same magic that kept Seshomaru from killing him out of annoyance- the little rat was useful, merely bothersome. But even he could not stop Seshomaru's good humor at this moment.
'She is coming.'

'Come on Kagome! Only a little farther! I can smell Inu Yasha now!' Shippo had his tiny nose to the ground, ten feet ahead of a very tired Kagome. They had followed the trail of footsteps easily since dawn. The dog-demon they followed had not made a single effort to hide their tracks. In fact, it was almost like they wanted to be followed, and found. It did not occur to Kagome that there might be a trap. It was now nearing midday, and Kagome was feeling the time difference and lack of sleep.
'Can't we take a rest, Shippo?' she said, stumbling again over a tree root. Immediately the little red ball of energy ran around her legs.
'Come on! Not far! Don't you want to find Inu Yasha?' Shippo cried, pulling at her little green school skirt to lead her onward. She sighed, but nodded.
'Yes. . . I do. You're right Shippo, the sooner we find wherever he is, the better. Let's go.' They walked on, Shippo dancing ahead with youthful energy while Kagome tried to keep up.
