This is the fourth chapter already, I really have to thanks u readers for giving me the motivation to continue this story. Thanks Mala, your encouragements are of really great help:). Well, I'll like to make the clarification that the point about "wetting the skirt" is purely meant to be the added humour to the tense atmosphere. It's like when one get scared he/she will pee, kinda comical stuff, if there are strong objections to it, I'll remove it tho :). Thanks for the review pointed out. Anyways, let's continue with the story, how's the four doing? Will they find Kagome?

Desperation Search

"Inuyasha, can we rest for a while? My knees are getting weak and my stomach is growling and my feet are getting sore and my lips are getting dry and ..."before Shippo can finish his grumbles. "And your head with loads of buns!" snapped Inuyasha bashing poor Shippo on the head.

"Inuyasha, I think we really should rest! You've been going like this without food and water for already 3days! I suggest that we find the nearest village and rest, moreover it's getting late." Miroku kindly gave his suggestions. "Yeah I agree." seconding Sango.

Inuyasha stared at the trio. In his eyes, filled with sadness, eagerness, and desperation. "All you guys care about is to rest rest rest! Have you ever give a thought to Kagome?! Maybe she's lost in somewhere waiting for me to save her! Her life might be in danger with Sesshoumaru!!! Have you guys ever give her a thought! Have you..." Inuyasha collapsed before he could finish his line.

"Poor Inuyasha." Sango thought. "Arghhhhh.. why must you faint in this point of time!!!!!" grumbled Miroku. Shippo on the other hand was trying to fan Inuyasha with his tail, however to no avail, Inuyasha was too tired out.

"Mr. Miroku, Ms. Sango, Shippo?" came a soft voice. The trio responded, "RIN?!" they echoed in unison. She gave a sweet smile, "I think u guys really need a place to rest, do come to my cottage. Mom and Dad will gladly welcome you guys." she offered, looking at poor Inuyasha. "Thanks Rin, that's very nice of you. But, Mom and Dad?" Sango asked with curiosity. "Let's talk on the way." Rin replied.

"Oh I see, you are adopted by a childless couple. Congrats!" smiled Sango. "SHIPPO!!! Can you get off my shoulder! Inuyasha is already heavy enough!" complained Miroku shagging Shippo off his shoulder.

"Alas!" Miroku said, slamming down Inuyasha on the floor when they reached Rin's house. "Can you be gentler!" said Sango pulling Miroku's ear. "Hee.. u two really look like a couple" said Rin with a glee. Miroku and Sango looked at each other and turned away immediately with their cheeks as red as apple.

"cough, cough!" Inuyasha opened his eyes gradually, his vision was still blurred. "Where am I? Why am I here?" he wondered. He looked around, seeing Shippo, Miroku sleeping and snoring away. While Sango was in the other room with Rin.

He took his tetsusaigu and staggered out of the little cottage. "Kagome.." he muttered. He wobbled out of the village into the forest path. He staggered weakly, however, his body was too weak to carry him any longer. He fell against a large tree, catching his breathe at the same time.

Inuyasha sighed, looked up at the sky, moon overshadowed by clouds. Stars spread all over. This reminded him of times he shared with Kagome, looking at stars, sharing stories with one another. Figuring her smile, her face, and her cheekbones, he gave a sigh.

He took a look at the necklace, which has a curse. "How I long that you can make me "sit down" again.. Kagome.. How I long you were here with me.. shouting at me.." while Inuyasha was engrossed in his thoughts, there was a shadow walking up to him. He looked up immediately, "KAGOME?!"

Hmmm... this is the end of my fourth chapter. Well, I'll like u readers to vote which pair would you favour this fic to continue with! A Sesshoumaru and Kagome or Inuyasha with Kagome? Do review and place your votes! Thankies.
