Dev sat in the tree that was located on his mother's shrine. He knew that InuYasha loved this tree, that his mother would go and touch it every morning to mourn Kaede. He looked around, waiting for his uncle. Sesshomaru. Not his real uncle, he reminded himself. Sesshomaru would never accept a human calling him Uncle. Maybe Dev's little siblings would be able to pull it off, but not him.
He sighed for the millionth time that day.
"Something wrong?" he heard from below him. He looked down and reconized Miha.
"Just waiting for someone. You might not want to be here when he arrives though," Dev called down.
"I'm not worried," Miha said. She smiled at Dev and started to climb up to sit beside him. She reached his low branch, "I've seen some demons before."
"How?" Dev asked.
"You're siblings. The sun rose, and they turned into hanyous. I'm not scared of them, and I won't kill them. I was wondering why you're here though, when the demon you want is on the other side of the village," Miha pointed to the south end of the small village.
"He's over there?" Dev asked as he looked for Sesshomaru. "But, this would have been the place I would think..."
"He's over there," she interupted him. He looked at her and nodded. She was the one with better miko power them himself. He jumped down, her following. "Just go towards the river and follow it out. He's waiting just outside of the village."
"Thanks."
///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///
"Where's Dev?" Shido asked.
"Fifty-two! Fifty-two times! Shido! We don't know where he is! But do you have to ask fifty-two times if we do?" Ryu yelled at the younger boy.
"I can ask as many times as I like! If asking is going to get me an answer, then I'll ask again. Where's Dev!?" Shido yelled back.
Ryu growled and pounced on the other boy. They rolled around on the ground right outside of the small miko hut. "Boys!" Miha yelled from the path. "Don't fight." They stopped and glared at eachother.
"Where have you been?" Chiann asked the miko.
"Looking for your brother. He left at sunrise, and it's almost sunset. He shouldn't be out of the village at night," Miha sat down on the top step to her house.
Chiann sat down too. She sighed and placed her head in her palms. Her elbows on her knees. "I'm worried, Miha."
"We're all worried," Ryu answered his little sister. He sat down beside her and looked at the forest towards the well they came through.
Shido let a tear fall down his face, "Don't get mad at me, but where's Dev?" A few more tears fell. "I want to be with my mom."
"I want my mommy too!" Chiann sobbed quietly.
Ryu gulped back his sobs and tears. He was now the oldest. Dev was gone and had told him to take care of the younger kids while he was gone. But he was suppose to be back by noon. "You didn't see him at all?" the small hanyou asked Miha.
She shook her head. "Sorry."
They all sighed, some trying to catch their breath from crying. Ryu stood up suddenly. Everyone looked at him, "What?"
He looked at them all, "I heard a call."
"A what?" Shido asked.
"A call. Someone is trying to call us. They want us to come to them at the tree. The God Tree," Chiann said. She stood up too and started to run towards the well. Ryu followed quickly. Shido and Miha were slower, but decided they must follow.
///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///
Ryu stood there panting. His sister right next to him. They gulped and tried to catch their breath to speak to the person standing infront of them. "Don't speak. Breath first," Sesshomaru commanded the children.
Ryu caught his breath first, "Where's Dev?"
"He should be with you," Rin said. She came from the bushes, he daughter right beside her. Jaken, as annoying as ever, came stumbling forward.
"He went to wait for you," Chiann said. She caughed a little, trying to catch her breath still.
"We were delayed," Sesshomaru smoothly said. "If you're human brother is anywhere out here, he's in trouble. We had to kill a small demon on the way. Being human, he could've been eaten."
"EATEN!?" Shido yelled as he came into the clearing. "But!"
"Lord Sesshomaru, don't be so harsh on them," Rin said. She came forward, leaving Kisa standing alone. She knelt infront of the small Shido. "Calm yourself child. I'm sure Dev is fine."
Ryu looked at Kisa. The little girl looked angry. She glared at Shido. Ryu knew why she did that. Kisa felt that Shido was taking her mother. Ryu felt that a lot when ever his brother or sister got attention at home by either of his parents, but he didn't know how the girl would react. He never did anything, but she might. 'I'll have to protect him,' Ryu promised.
Sesshomaru looked at the small kids. "You have to find your own way home. We don't have the answer, and now you better find that stupid human brother of yours." He turned around and started through the bushes with grace. "And miko, you should know that I know you're there," he called. Rin stood and grabbed onto Kisa's hand. They, with the worthless toad demon, followed the Lord of the Western Lands into the bushes.
Ryu looked at the bush where his uncle had left, "Thanks for nothing!"
"Ryu, what's this mean?" Chiann asked.
"It means we're three stupid young children on our own. And we have to find our stupid brother too!" Ryu yelled at her. He turned around and punched a tree hard, part of it breaking. A crack appeared to go up and down on the tree. He stared at the tree for a long time. 'I used to climb this tree at home. That crack...'
Chiann gulped tears and sat down on the ground. "We're all alone?"
Shido looked at the younger girl, "Yes, Chiann. All alone. But what about me? I'm human! You at least have a fighting chance!"
Miha entered the clearing and looked at children who had given up all hope. "I'll come with you."
"You can't," Ryu said. "We don't even know where we're going."
"Kagome was told to know of a wolf demon tribe. They might be better help then the dog demon," Miha informed them. "I know where a pack is. It could be them."
Chiann stopped crying and looked at the older woman. Shido brought up a barrier around his emotions. Ryu breathed in a calming breath and looked at the miko. "Fine. Let's find this pack."
"Not without me!" a voice called from the bushes. They all turned around and were shocked.
