InuYasha sighed as he looked deep into the fire. "We have to get Ashi before we finish getting the shards," InuYasha whispered.
Miha and Kat looked at eachother for a minute then sighed too. Sesshomaru sat down from his standing position and said, "Where do you think he is?"
"He could be anywhere right now. Dev said he couldn't remember where he was hiding, because he had been under the shape shifter's control," InuYasha told them all as he looked over at his sons sleeping not far from the adults.
"You believed him?" Kat asked with a frown on her face.
InuYasha glared at her for a minute and answered, "Of course I believe him."
"But, InuYasha, he killed a lot of people. How do you know he was really under their control?" Miha defended the youkai.
"He said he was! I'm going to believe him!" InuYasha stood up from his seat on the log. "I will believe everything my children say." With that said he jumped off into the forest.
"I didn't mean to make him upset," Miha said sadly. "I was only stating a fact."
"He was trying to convince himself more then you," Sesshomaru said as he looked over to where his half brother had run into the dark forest.
"What do you think Lord Sesshomaru?" Kat asked the dog youkai.
"Ashi will find us," Sesshomaru said. He too stood up and started to walk into the forest after his brother.
Miha looked at the woman next to her, "I'm confused still."
"About what?" Kat asked.
"Why would Ashi want everyone to die in our group? Even his own son?" Miha asked.
"I wouldn't know. I just know there must have been some plan that we don't know of," Kat sighed, effectivly cutting off the conversation.
Miha nodded and poked the fire with a stick to keep it going. It flared up, but died down suddenly.
Dev watched the whole transaction. He quietly stood up and went after InuYasha and Sesshomaru. 'I need to tell them,' he decided.

He walked into a small clearing and looked at the two white haired brothers. They didn't talk. Sesshomaru stood looking over a river as InuYasha sat in a tree above him. He cleared his throat to get their attention. Sesshomaru didn't move, but InuYasha looked behind him to see the teenager standing not far from them.
"Dev? What's wrong?" InuYasha asked as he jumped down from the tree.
"I remember where it is," Dev said without looking up from the ground that he suddenly found so interesting.
"Where what is?" InuYasha asked his adopted son.
"I know where my dad is. Where he's hiding," Dev said. He looked up. His dark eyes meeting InuYasha's amber ones. "I'll tell you."
InuYasha smiled slightly, "I knew you would."
Dev looked at him confused, "Huh?"
InuYasha walked forward and said, "I knew that you remembered where he stayed. I was just waiting for you to tell me on your own."
"But how?" Dev asked. He walked forward to. He looked behind the hanyou to Sesshomaru. The youkai didn't seem interested in the conversation.
"It doesn't matter," InuYasha told the boy. "Where's Ashi?"
"You're not going to believe this, but he's been by us the whole time," Dev said. Watching their reaction.
///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///
They had to run. That was all he knew about the situation they were in. He was woken up rather quickly by a nervous father and an anxious brother. "What's going on?" he yelled for the hundredth time to the group infront of him. "Dad! Dev! What's going on?!" Ryu tried again.
"Just hurry up!" Dev yelled back again. He held on tight to InuYasha's back.
"Easy for someone who's being carried!" Ryu yelled back.
"No fighting right now," Kat scolded the two. "We have to hurry."
Ryu nodded and looked at everyone else. Kat was holding Camren in her baby holder thing. Miha was running just as well as any youkai would, and Sesshomaru was on a dragon looking youkai with two heads. Then there was his dad holding onto his older brother. He wa slower then the rest of them. 'I hate this! I want to be carried too!' he yelled in his mind. 'It isn't fair!'
He started to pant as they didn't slow down. "Dad!" he yelled up at his father. InuYasha turned around and saw the exhasted boy. They had been running all morning and most of the afternoon. InuYasha slowed down and finally stopped. Everyone looked at him like he was nuts. Ryu was glad for the break and he collapsed to sit on the ground and pant.
InuYasha came over to stand over his son, "Get on." He turned around.
"You can't run with both of them!" Sesshomaru yelled at his brother.
"What do you suppose we do then? Ryu can't run anymore, and Dev can't run with us," InuYasha yelled back.
"Ryu, get on your father's back. Dev climb on here," Sesshomaru landed the weird dragon youkai. Dev and Ryu both did as they were told, and everyone started off again.
"Dad, where are we going?" Ryu asked.
"Home," was all InuYasha answered.
"What?" Ryu asked. The white haired hanyou didn't answer. 'How could we be going home?' Ryu wondered.
///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///
Ashi attacked first. The group was unprepared for the fight that came too soon. "I thought you said the well!" InuYasha yelled at Dev as he dodged Ashi's clawed hand.
"He was hiding there!" Dev yelled back as he positioned an arrow in his bow and shot at his father. The arrow missed slightly. "Dammit!"
Ryu stood next to his half brother and also shot an arrow. Nothing seemed to be able to hit the evil being. "Why don't they hit him!"
InuYasha tried to hit the man too, "Iron reaver soul stealer!" It went right through the man, and he started to shimmer. "What the..."
"Hahahahaha! You can't hit me, you worthless hanyou," Ashi laughed.
"He's a fake!" Miha yelled to the group.
"What do you mean?" Dev asked.
"She means he's an illusion," Sesshomaru said in a calm carrying voice as he turned and searched the area for the real Ashi. He stopped facing the Bone Eaters Well. "He is at the well."
"Let's go then!" Kat yelled as she started running towards the village. The others left the Ashi illusion and started after her. InuYasha quickly gaining on the youkai and passing her to become the leader. Ryu, using everything he had, became second in the group, right behind his father.
"He's just toying with us," Sesshomaru told Dev as they rode on the two headed youkai beast.
"I know he is," Dev said in a quiet voice.
