Inu-Yasha woke again that night, but it hadn't been from the dream (he had been in the middle of that. This time he woke to a shrill scream that pierced the night like a thousand blades. Everyone sat up immediately and looked around the campsite sleepily. Inu-Yasha looked around and did a head- count.

A sudden realization hit him. Kagome was missing! He let out a low groan half grow. What a night for a dream to come true. And I don't mean the good kind. (A.N like Cinderella) He jumped to the forest floor and looked around in the dirt for any type of clue. He saw nothing he smelled nothing. He only saw the faces of his friends looking worriedly at him.

" Can you find her, Inu-Yasha?" Shippo asked. He was on the verge of tears, his face was puffy and swollen and he wiped his nose on the sleeves of his kimono.

" Grrrrrr. What are you crying for you baby, of coarse we'll find her. Don't be stupid." Inu-Yasha growled at Shippo. But Even though in Inu-Yasha terms that was supposed to be reassuring, Shippo just burst into tears screaming. " We'll never find her!" " Now why do you say that?" Sango asked while trying to comfort the small kitsune. " Be-because Inu-Yasha has Problems!" He wailed through buckets of tears. Inu-Yasha took a swing at him but Sango smacked him with her boomerang before he even touched him. " We had best be started if we are ever going to find lady Kagome." Miroku said. The others nodded in agreement, everyone except Shippo who was still bawling.

Kagome groaned as she came back to consciousness. She was being carried over someone's shoulder. She was being carried backwards so she couldn't see the person's face. He was wearing a black Kimono and had long silver hair. At first she had thought it was Inu-Yasha and that she was going to 'Sit' him about a million times for taking her out of her warm bed. It wasn't, however, Inu-Yasha that she was sure of. She let out another groan as the person shifted her around. Her head was jolted backwards and then everything was dark again.

When she finally woke again the strange person was no where to be seen and she was tied to a tree. Now, Kagome had played the damsel in distress roll before, but this was going too far. Kagome turned her head to look at the sky. The stars shined brightly overhead and a tiny sliver of a waning moon could be seen. " Inu-Yasha, help me." She whispered and a single tear rolled down her cheek. And he was trying he had his nose to the ground sniffing out any possible clues. " Inu-Yasha looks like a real dog-boy now." Shippo teased as Inu-Yasha gave him a stare that meant to shut up or he would do it for him. " Inu-Yasha I don't think we can do much else tonight." Miroku said as he sat down to rest for about the 300th time during the last 20 minutes. (A.N it is about midnight right now.) " Lets just stop for tonight and pick back up in the morning." Sango said as she sat down next to Miroku. Than she decided better and moved over about 20 feet. " We're never going to find her if you keep stopping." Inu-Yasha barked. " We have to find her! " We all want to find her as much as you do, but we can't go on like this. We are stopping and that is final." Miroku said. Inu-Yasha was about to reply and then decided differently. Inu-Yasha jumped into the nearest tree to sleep. As he started to drift to sleep he was mostly aware of the horror of the dream that was most likely going to come, but he wasn't prepared for what happened that night.
