Chapter Six: They're Missing?
~~~~~~~~~~
The phone ringing caused Shippou to move from his comfortable place in bed. He reached for the phone.
"Hello?" he said into the receiver, wondering who could be calling now.
"Hi Shippou, it's Sango. I was wondering if you've heard from Kagome today," she asked.
"No, why? Should I have?"
"Well, it's just that she's not home, and when we try to call Miroku's apartment, no one answers there either."
"She's supposed to be at their place?" Shippou was confused.
"That's where Miroku and I left her this morning," she stated matter- of-factly.
"What was she doing over there!?" he exclaimed, wondering what the heck was going on.
"She went over there last night to have a talk with us. She fell asleep and we didn't want to wake her up this morning, so we put her in Miroku's bed. Now no one seems to be able to find either her or Inuyasha." Sango patiently explained. Shippou sighed into the phone.
"Did anyone try her place? They might be there…" he let his voice trail off. He hoped nothing bad had happened; his senses told him nothing had, though.
"I'll call now, but Miroku said he tried earlier and got the answering machine."
"Okay, later," Shippou said, and hung up the phone, relaxing back into the warm bed.
Sango called Kagome's apartment and got the answering machine. Thoughtfully, she dialed Miroku's number. He picked up right away.
"Well, they're not here," he said with a sigh, "Did you call Kagome's place?"
"Yeah, I got the machine again, where could they have gone?" Sango was getting frustrated.
"What if they're just not answering the phone?" That idea had just occurred to him.
"Good point, you really think so?" she sounded doubtful.
"I have a feeling they're right where they're supposed to be," Miroku said cryptically before hanging up without saying goodbye.

Author's Note: So I made Shippou older! Don't get mad at me for it! Just Review, okay? Okay. Sorry this chapter's so short… my muse is falling behind.
