Chapter 8. Reunited, but not completely
Inu was mad. Why couldn't he find Kaori? He could smell her, but he couldn't find her.
This is so annoying!
Inu sighed and jumped to the next tree. As he sighed, he felt Kaori's presence. He looked at a tree and noticed something about that particular tree. It didn't smell quite right. It smelled like. the Ikota? That wasn't right, unless this was their hideout!
Duh! Inu no baka. He thought.
He looked even closer and found a window concealed by leaves and branches. If you didn't look very closely, you wouldn't notice it, but luckily, Inu's sharp eyes never failed him. He jumped onto a branch right under the window, and saw a dark figure.
Kaori? Is it you?

Kaori bit her lip to keep from crying.
"Where are you, Inu?" she sobbed. "Help me, please."
Kaori sobbed as she stared at the one small window in her prison. She had been here for a while now. She actually knew what the Ikota were talking about, even though Inu didn't tell her directly.
But why do they want it? Inu didn't really tell me what it does. Plus, I can't give it to them! Inu needs it to find the rest of his family. This is so difficult.
Suddenly, a shadow outside the prison caught her eyes.
"Inu? Inu, is that you?"
The figure outside nodded and replied, "Yeah, are you okay? I smell blood with your scent."
Kaori tried to wipe her eyes but the chains encircling her wrists, ankles, and her neck didn't let her.
"Kaori, come over here. I can't see you very well over there."
Kaori mumbled something, but Inu's sensitive demon ears heard it all.
"You- You can't move? What have they done?"
"The Ikota said that until I revealed everything to them, I had no right to move at all."
Inu stopped and thought for a moment before saying, "Well, I'll be watching you from outside. You'll be free soon."
Kaori saw the shadow outside leave and she sighed. She didn't know how long she could hold on.
