Ahhh! My cat ate my Morning Glories!

I get to eat the cat!

No, Denvy!

Ahhh! *runs after cat* I had a bunch of Morning Glories growing in my window and now they're GONE! AHHHH! Whee! *joins in chase after cat*

Ugh! Will you two stop? We still have to tell these guys what Kagome was resting up for (even though that idea was started 2 chapters ago…).

But my flowers! *sits on floor and crys* Kittie food!

Am I the only sane person here?

Apparently.

Huh? Who said that?

*youkai steps out of the shadows*

*Yume, Ayumi, and Denvy:* SQWEEEE!

Sesshoumaru!

Sessy!

Fluffy!

*glomped by 3 rabid fan-girls* Ahem… On with the chapter…

Ok, so I'm in the company of a fire youkai named Elys. At least she hasn't tried to kill me yet. Kagome was still on the back of the fire cat who was flying above a rather large lake. Elys's grip on the cat's fur tightened noticeably.

"Are you scared of water?"

"I'm a fire youkai! What do you think, girl!" Elys snapped back. She had a temper to accentuate her attitude. Ever since breaking the silence Kagome had asked questions. And Elys's attitude was always the same: hot and sharp. She never gave a thought to Kagome's constant shivering, and always pointed out that Kagome was a weak human with no purpose. Kagome was constantly reminded of Inuyasha through this youkai's attitude and actions. Kagome didn't like be being reminded of Inuyasha right now, it hurt to think and talking was the only way to escape it.

"Where are we going again?"

Elys released her death grip of the cat and sighed, even her sighs had an edge to them. "It's not much farther. Now will you shut up!"

Kagome looked ahead and saw a mountain. It wasn't a special mountain, with no physical attractions to lead people to it, but Kagome was certain that this is where they were headed. So as not to push the youkai's temper even further she obediently shut her mouth and concentrated on a plan of escape. But her head began to pound with a headache, whether from the height or the shiver, and thought became impossible.

Soon Kagome had fallen unconscious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha was having no problems now that the rain had stopped, if fact it was even easier. He jumped up every few minutes in order to catch Kagome's scent which still lingered in the air, but only faintly. Her scent had changed just after the rain, from fear to a strange scent that could only be placed as exhaustion. Kagome was either sick or tired, he wished to believe the latter.

He had sped up in hopes to catch up, but the method of transportation the youkai, or rather 2 youkai, had been using made it difficult. 2 youkai and Kagome seemed to be flying, which made their traveling a lot faster.

After 2 hours of all out running, Inuyasha was tiring. He took another leap into the air and caught his first glimpse of what he had been chasing. It was a cat youkai and 2 girls on it. One had to be Kagome. Inuyasha gathered more strength and sped up, they were fast approaching a mountain and he didn't want to lose them now.

He was just under the cat youkai when he saw her. Elys? Why does she have Kagome? Know full well that Elys could fry him in a instant he dropped below the trees and followed them to their destination.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha did not go unnoticed. Elys sensed him immediately, but showed no signs of it. He was directly beneath her and she had no intentions of picking a fight with him…for now. She had no idea why he was following her but that could wait for later, she must complete her mission.

Up ahead the mountain loomed. A small cave at the top was invisible unless you were looking for it, and Elys had been.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha noticed the cave but not until Elys had disappeared with Kagome. Both had gone straight into the mountain, and Inuyasha had no idea what to do.

He climbed the mountain a bit and peeked into the cave entrance. It was long and dark but the smooth walls told him that someone had dug this on purpose.

Elys and Kagome's scent still hung in the air around the cave, but Inuyasha decided to wait. Elys would not immediately harm Kagome unless she was given reason too, and by the way Kagome looked she would be asleep for a week.
