`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~` Last Chapter Re-cap:
The rest of the group walked over to see what was all the commotion and yes, indeed, there was Kohaku in Sango's arms.
"You're back," whispered Sango into Kohaku's ear, "You're back."
"I...I'm sorry, have we met before? Thank you for saving me... Kohaku? Is that my name? I... I can't remember..." stuttered Kohaku
"Oh Kohaku! My little brother, you're back, I so happy, you're back, away from Naraku's hands..."
`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`
Everyone was happy that Kohaku and Sango were finally reunited again, hopefully for good this time. Though Kohaku had lost his memory, similar to the last time they were reunited, Sango was determined to get him back to his happy 11 year old self. Kohaku had some cuts and bruises but they were easily cured with some of the things from Kagome's time. Inu-Yasha, Miroku, Hitomi, Kagome, Sango, and Kohaku all went to Kaede's to rest and plan for what and where they were going next.
~Kaede's Place~
"So, in the stories you've told me, you haven't said much about Kohaku, what's his story?"
Kagome took a deep breath before answering Hitomi's question, "Well, Kohaku is Sango's little brother, and a little while before Sango joined up with us, her whole family was murdered by Naraku. Later, Naraku resurrected Kohaku using a Shikon shard and putting into his back, should that shard be removed, he'll die." Hitomi gulped. "Naraku tried once to get rid of Kohaku, but when Kohaku ran away, he took his jewel shard with him. He ran off to a village, then our group found him, but he had lost his memory. After getting reacquainted for a short little while, Naraku took control over Kohaku once again, and Sango's determined to either kill them both, or kill Naraku and get him back to where he belongs." Kagome sighed, "And that's the story."
"Intense and complicated..." replied Hitomi. *yawn* "I'm tired..."
*Yawn* "Thanks a lot, yawns are contagious, yeah, I'm tired too, and its getting pretty dark, I think we should rest now."
"But we haven't eaten yet!" shouted Shippou as his stomach grumbled.
"Yeah, I'm hungry too," stated Kohaku.
"Then it's settled, we'll eat and then sleep! Then we'll wake up early tomorrow to get Naraku!" summed up Kagome, as she got up and walked into another room to start cooking with Kaede.
"I want to help!" shouted Shippou as he bounced off following Kagome.
"I'll go too," added Hitomi, as she walked away tying her red and black hair in a low ponytail.
`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`
So they group lay down in Kaede's hut after they ate supper. Kagome had a couple extra sleeping bags, but since it was such a hot night, they just opened it up and lay on it because they were short on mats to lie on. Kohaku and Sango got mats, Kagome and Hitomi got Kagome's sleeping bags, Miroku and Shippou slept on mats, and Inu-Yasha sat up I a tree outside, like he always does.
`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`~,~`
During the night, Naraku, who never sleeps, sent a telepathic message to Kohaku. ~Kohaku... Wake up Kohaku... Wake up...~ Just then Kohaku's eyes shot wide open, but they weren't his normal eyes, no, they were the blank and empty ones. He silently rolled off the mat without waking anyone. ~Kohaku... Take the jewel Kohaku... Take it! It's in her backpack Kohaku... Her backpack...~ Kohaku walked over to the corner where Kagome had left her bag and in the front pocket, he pulled out the little plastic jar, which had the Shikon shards in it, but as he turned around to leave the room he noticed that there was something glowing around Hitomi's neck. The green glow seemed to be reacting to the Shikon Shards. Kohaku gently took Hitomi's jewel, but cutting the strings on each side and ran out of Kaede's hut. Just then, Inu- Yasha jumped down from the tree, "What do you think you're doing?" And Kohaku ran off to the trees in the other direction as Kagura came out behind a tree and pulled a feather from her hair making her wind boat thing [A/N: I don't know what its called] and went over to Kohaku that was running towards her. Inu-Yasha made a big leap and grabbed Kohaku's shirt as he dropped the Shikon Shards as Kagura lifted him into the air.
~Meanwhile~
Hitomi woke up because she heard Inu-Yasha yelling outside, so she woke up Kagome. Kagome went over to her backpack to make sure her shards were still there, and they weren't, then Hitomi noticed that her Hisuiiro no Tama was gone also.
"AHH!!!!" They both screamed, waking everyone else up, and Inu-Yasha ran into the hut. "What's wrong?" asked Inu-Yasha.
"My shards are gone!" shouted Kagome, then Inu-Yasha threw them in her face, then Sango, sat up, noticing that Kohaku wasn't there.
"Hey, where's Kohaku?" asked Sango, as everyone looked around the room.
"He was the one who took the shards, he ran off with Kagura, damn it, I couldn't get him," explained Inu-Yasha.
"What about my jewel? Where is it?" asked Hitomi.
"He took your jewel too?" asked Miroku.
"Well it isn't around my neck!" yelled Hitomi.
"Calm down," coaxed Kagome, "maybe you just... er... misplaced it?"
"But it was around my neck, I know it! It was around my neck when I fell asleep, I remember thinking about and holding it," replied Hitomi as she stood up franticly looking in side her sleeping bag, picking it up, and waving it around, and out fell the chain that she had for her necklace it had been cut.
"The chain, it was... cut..." muttered Sango, "and Kohaku's gone..." she began to cry and so did Hitomi.
"Its all my fault that the jewel's gone, I should've taken better care of it, I should've put two strings through it, I should've---" Hitomi was cut off.
"CALM DOWN, THE TWO OF YOU!" shouted Kagome to the crying pair, "SANGO, we'll get Kohaku back, HITOMI, it's not your fault and we'll get the jewel back!"
Sango and Hitomi looked up, with their eyes still red and puffy from crying and nodded at Kagome, they knew that if they wanted their brother/jewel back, then they would have to sober up and stand strong. Everyone took a deep breath and sighed and tried to calm themselves of what had just happened. It was practically morning already so everyone didn't bother to go back to sleep. Kagome, Hitomi, and Sango all went to the hot springs to take a quick bath before leaving, and Inu-Yasha, Miroku, and Shippou were left at the hut to discuss some things.
"So do you think Naraku will know what the Hisuiiro no Tama is?" asked Miroku.
"I don't know, and lets hope not, we don't know how powerful that thing can be..." replied Inu-Yasha.
"Oh no! What are we going to do! Kohaku and the green jewel are gone! What are we going to do?!" panicked Shippou as Inu-Yasha bonked him on the head. *Bonk*
"I don't know what we're going to do Shippou, I don't know. Let's wait for the girls --- or better yet, I'll go and get them!" said Miroku, as he got up.
"Hold on a sec. you hentai," said Inu-Yasha as he grabbed Miroku's robe and pulled him to the ground. *Thump*.
Shippou sighed *sigh*, "Miroku, when are you going to learn?"
~At The Hot Springs~
"Ahhh... This is SO nice, but we better hurry," said Kagome as she sunk in deep into the warm waters.
"Yeah, we should, I want my brother back," added Sango as she also enjoyed the soothing waters.
"And my jewel, hopefully he doesn't know what it is..." said Hitomi, as she began to get out and grab her towel, "Well, I'm done."
"I'll go too," agreed Sango as she went to grab her towel.
"Hey don't leave me in here all alone!" joked Kagome as she did the same.
Minutes later, they arrived back at the hut fully changed/clothed and with just some wet hair that was already drying in the morning sun.
"About time," grunted Inu-Yasha as they entered the hut.
"Whatever..." replied Hitomi with a sigh, and she sat down against the wall with her wet hair in front of her.
"So let's plan for a hour or so and we'll start searching!" said Kagome.
"I think we should go back to where we last saw him, and maybe Shippou, Inu-Yasha, or Kirara can sense his smell or aura from there.
Everyone nodded.
