Chapter 3

Early that morning before the sun had even risen Inu-Yasha was awake and sniffing the air for traces of the familiar scent of Kagome. He had to find her he had too. Meanwhile Sango and Miroku are down below (Inu-Yasha is sitting in a tree) thinking of a possible plan. " Do you think we should?" Miroku asked, " I mean it could be dangerous, I have never done this before Inu-Yasha could get hurt. " I think dog-boy can handle it. " Shippo said. " I can hear what you're saying." Inu-Yasha yelled down. " What the hell are you talking about any way.?" " I thought you could hear us. " Shippo said as he (once again) teased Inu- Yasha. " Inu-Yasha come down here for a moment please if you would. " Miroku said solemnly. Inu-Yasha jumped down from his perch in the tree. He was getting very agitated with his supposed friends who were supposed to be helping him find Kagome. " Sit down Inu-Yasha and we can talk." " Yeah, yeah. Can we get this over with and please resume what WE are supposed to be doing." Inu-Yasha pronounced we with great enthusiasm. " Sango and I have thought have some thing that might help find Kagome. I have never. technically. done this before. I have heard of it done however. You have to do exactly as I say. No foolish pride here Inu-Yasha if you want to find Kagome. " " What in the." Inu-Yasha was cut off by a glare from Miroku. " All right he said. Hit me. " " Now " Miroku said. " I need you to smell. Smell the wind coming from the east. Smell the flowers in bloom. " Miroku stood over Inu-Yasha performing the correct spells. Inu-Yasha smelled the air he had never smelled this well before. It was a brand new sensation. He could smell the tiniest details in everything. " Now. " Miroku continued. " Can you smell Kagome? " " Yes " he replied in a misty faded subconscious voice. " " Good is any thing wrong with her any blood. " " No, no blood. " " Excellent, next listen. Listen to the smallest noises." Again Miroku stood over Inu-Yasha performing spells for listening. " Can you hear any thing like Kagome?" " Yes!" Inu-Yasha said his voice less misty. " She is unconscious her breathing is coming in longer breaths of those of a sleeping person. She is chained to a tree. I can hear the chains against the bark. I hear laughter evil malicious laughter. Horrible cold an uncaring. " He breathed his eyes slipping out of focus.

" We're losing him. " Miroku said. " But now we know where Kagome is. Inu-Yasha fell to the ground in a dead faint.

Kagome hung to the tree. She was tied to the tree in chain links. Her wrists ankles and throat linked her. The cuffs of the chain rubbed uncomfortably against her skin and threatened to make her bleed with one jab of the sharp metal. She groaned as she opened her eyes. She looked around, but did not recognize her surroundings at all. She heard the man laughing again. She began to struggle against her bonds. " No use pretty little girl you cant break through the bonds. " the coarse voice said. Kagome's eyes were unfocused she couldn't even see who was speaking. A figure stood in front of her and laughed. Her vision began to clear. She let out a horrified scream and tried to break loose from her bonds. As she struggled the skin on her wrists broke and she started to bleed. The blood creating pools of dark red on the ground as it ran down her legs and dripped onto the ground. She shrieked and again lost conciseness.

Inu-Yasha's senses went berserk. The smell of Kagomes blood in the air drove him from in unconscious state. " Kagome " he screamed. And ran off before anyone could do or say anything to stop him.
