A slight breeze blew her hair towards the west, as she stepped more onto the boulder. Inu-Yasha, Shippou, Sango,and Miroku weren't up yet. The sun shined on her face, warming it. She slid her shoes and socks off and let her feet get warmed by the boulder's heat. A shadow grew behind her, and she looked over her shoulder. It was Miroku and Shippou, they had finally gotten up. "Good Morning Miroku, Good Morning Shippou Good morning Sango!" she said grinning towards them. They yawned, "Good morning Kagome." they said with a yawn. "Where's Inu-Yasha? Still not up?" "Nope. Still asleep." Miroku replied sitting on the boulder, warming his hands from the boulder's heat. Kagome hopped off of the boulder, and walked over to were he lay. "Inu-Yasha, wake up!" she said sitting down next to him. He opened his eyes at the sound of Kagome's voice. "Good morning, Kagome." he said, looking into her eyes. "Good morning to you, too Inu-Yasha." she said rubbing his arm. "How'd you sleep last night Kagome?" he said getting up, helping her up too. "I slept really well, thanks to your coat. Thanks for letting me borrow it, Inu-Yasha." she said, getting up with his help. She pushed her hair behind her ears, and rubbed his shoulder. "Heheh...no problem. Want another ride?" he said, grinning towards her and purring. She nodded, and he helped her up onto his back. They walked over to Miroku, Shippou, and Sango. "Come on..." said Inu-Yasha, making sure Kagome was safely on his back. They walked towards the North West, looking for any sign of a white baboon or danger.

They went around for a long time he seemed, and found nothing. Inu-Yasha smelled nothing, only the smell of Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and his dear Kagome. She was wide awake, looking for any danger so she could tell them. What she didn't know is, Naraku was right under their noses. She was the first to see the white baboon,and screamed. "Inu-Yasha! There he is!" she said screaming. Naraku was gaining on them, and he grabbed Kagome. He drug her out of Inu-Yasha's grasp, and held her arm tightly, beside him. The sun shined brightly on his suit, and he smiled deep under the mask. "KAGOME!" Inu-Yasha screamed, running towards them. He drew out his sword, and tried for Naraku. He could not get him, no matter what. But, he did manage to grab Kagome out of danger. Sango whipped out her sword, and Inu-Yasha and her ran for Naraku. They missed, and he disappeared. "We know one thing, he isn't here for shards." Miroku said, looking towards Kagome. Her arm was bleeding, his claws must have sunk into her skin. Inu-Yasha didn't even notice the smell while he was going after Naraku. He tended to do that, zone off into another dimension while he was fighting. He looked over to her, as she was holding her arm, giving it pressure. "Kagome! Are you okay?!" he yelled at running towards her. "I'm...okay...I guess," she said looking up at him. "I'll live. But, what is with Naraku? What's with this? He doesn't want shards, what does he want?" she said with a questioning look on her face, the sun was going down, and Inu-Yasha turned his head towards it. "You." he said sighing.
