The fire burned and glowed. Shido and Chiann had watch as they sat and thought about different things. Shido felt the need for his mother and father, but also a new need. The need to be stronger then any other human finally made into his mind too. 'I have to be strong now that I really think about it,' his little mind decided. He shoved some dirt from his foot and layed his elbows on his knees and head on his hands. "Chiann, do you think Ryu really smelt Dev?" he said aloud. The other thing that had been running through his mind.
"I think he did," she answered. Her eyes glowed sadly in the light of the dancing flames. "Camren and I felt something when the wind blew in this direction. I think it was Dev, but something was wrong. Shido, something's wrong."
"Yeah, we's stuck here," Shido said. He looked over at the girl next to him. Her ears were flat against her head, and she was holding back tears. Her eyes shimmered with a depressed glint that he felt sorry that he had said anything in the silence.
"Shido, I want my mommy," Chiann whispered. She sniffled, but brought her ears back up to listen around them. They were on watch, she remembered.
"I want mine too, Chiann," Shido said. "We all want to just go back and be with our parents. I think even Kisa."
Chiann looked at him and nodded. "I'm talking a lot," she said absently.
"I really have never heard your voice before. What make you start?" Shido knew his grammer was lacking, but no parents ment no corrections.
"I need to talk, or I will feel even more alone," Chiann said. "At home Dev and Ryu always talked. Mom talked too, and even did my dad. I never had to say anything, just listen to them all. I would talk to my mom and dad in their room if I was scared, but never needed anything to be scared of." Her eyes widened. Shido smiled. They both knew that took a lot to speak so much. "When is our watch over?"
Shido looked at the high moon. "We have another hour. Ryu said he set his watch to go off, and then he will wake up." They both looked at the group of people not too far away, but on such a hot night they were far away enough not to feel the heat of the fire. Ryu slept against the trunk of a tree that was in the circle of grass.
"Wouldn't it be nice if someone could come and get us? Or at least help us?" Shido said as he saw a shooting star glide across the black and white dotted sky above. 'I wish someone who knows this place would come and help us,' he wished. When he finished he wondered why he didn't ask for his parents.

He looked out into the clearing seeing the two children wide awake and waiting patiently for something to happen. They had been talking so much that they hadn't heard him come close enough to understand glimpses of what they were saying. His eyes went to all the sleeping people. He knew one, no two, of the sleeping children. But that's not what he was there for. 'Just watch,' he reminded himself. 'Watch.'
He nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard a beeping start up. He caught his breath and made his nerves relax as he saw a little hanyou with black hair and black dog ears awake and turn off the sound on his alarm clock watch. The boy stretched, let his ears wonder over the vincinity to listen for anything. 'Stay still, don't breath,' he told himself. He did just as his mind told him to do. He was downwind of the hanyou children and the two youkai. He knew their ways of getting any information from the world around them.
The boy, Ryu, went to the two children and told them to get some sleep. They nodded and walked towards the rest of the group. The human boy, Shido, layed down next to the other human in the group, the miko Miha. Chiann went and lay next to Kisa, the Lord's daughter. Ryu sat down and let his eyes wander away from the fire and look into all the places he couldn't smell or hear anything. He knew his disability of not knowing what he was looking for, but the boy also knew better then the little kids at how to achieve the knowledge he was seeking.
Dev knew also how to decieve his little half brother. 'Just wait,' he told the boy in his head. 'You'll wish you saw me tonight. You'll wish your father were here.'

A shadow was all that anyone would have been able to see. Just a dark black against a little lighter black. It slipped into the well house and shut the door behind it's self.
The figure stood on the top of the stairs and looked down into the dark. It was determined to get through to the other side. The figure knew that it had to get to the children. There had to be a way through the well. Through to a time this figure knew well. It ran forward and jumped into the hole hoping to see the blue light at the bottom to insure that it made it through.
///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///
The circles under Ryu's eyes showed what he was being yelled at was serious. He listened to only half of what Miha was saying. His thoughts wandered through his tired mind. His limbs, as they walked, screamed for refuge from the trail. His whole body didn't want to continue.
"You're so stupid! I told you to wake me up at four a.m. to take over the watch. Why didn't you wake me up?" Miha yelled again. She had been repeating herself all morning. The others were doing their best at ignoring her, but even they were becoming sick of her ranting.
"Miha, I told you. I didn't wake you because I am wide awake," Ryu said. He didn't yawn like he felt like doing. Infact to everyone present who didn't know him well could think he was all there and looked fit to fight. Chiann and Shido would be the only one's wisest, but they kept their mouths shut because they didn't want watch again tonight. Ryu would make them watch. This night he wanted again to watch, no matter what his arms, legs, or torso said. He didn't want to trust Miha. Something about her made his skin crawl like ants and spiders were all over him.
The argument would have lasted long if everyone's attention turned to a noise behind them. They all focused and got into their fighting positions they had designed this morning when they all woke up. Shido stood close to Miha, Kisa and Chiann stood close together (This time Chiann knew what to do), Ryu ready to help anyone out. And on the request of Kat Camren stayed on her back through anything. She stood at the front of the travelling group, so away from anything attacking from behind. They all were ready for a fight. But they didn't expect who came out of the bushes. Chiann gasped at first then ran forward, bringing everyone out of their shocked positions.
"Papa!" Chiann ran into InuYasha's arms. The white haired hanyou picked up the smaller white haired hanyou.
