"Shippo, Shippo, Shippo where are you?" called Kagome
"Oh give it up!" yelled Inuyasha, "He'll find his way back, he always does."
Kagome knew he was right. She nodded and started to walk back to camp with Inuyasha. Even as she was walking, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. She tried to ignore it, but it was no use. "This is silly," she thought, "there's nothing wrong." That didn't work either.
They were almost to camp when Inuyasha stopped suddenly. He started to sniff at the air. "What is this?" he thought, "I swear I smell demon." He didn't tell Kagome though, he didn't want to alarm her. He was now looking around wildly as if expecting something. Kagome noticed and stopped, too. She started to look around.
The bushes started to rustle to Inuyasha's right. Inuyasha eyed the bushes for a few seconds. He tried to decide whether or not to attack the them. He hesitated for a few more seconds then walked over to the bushes. As he approached the bushes, they stopped rustling. Inuyasha peered into the bushes and saw two purple eyes looking up at him.
"Show yourself, now!" screamed Inuyasha. This made Kagome jump and look at Inuyasha. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?!" Inuyasha said as the purple-eyed figure darted off. Inuyasha chased after the figure as Kagome chased behind him bewildered as to what they were doing.
"Inuyasha, where do you think you're going?" Kagome yelled after Inuyasha. "Inuyasha? Get back here! Damn it, oh where is he?" She finally spotted Inuyasha, but couldn't catch up to him. "I'm probably gonna regret this, but oh well," she thought to herself. "SIT BOY!" she screamed.
Inuyasha fell face first to the ground. He looked up just in time to see the figure he was chasing dart off somewhere into the forest. Inuyasha moaned, he hadn't been able to catch the figure. He got up about a minute of thinking about the figure. When he stood up Kagome came running up to Inuyasha.
"What were you chasing, Inuyasha, I have a right to know," demanded Kagome.
"I'm not sure what I was chasing, it smelled like a demon," replied Inuyasha. "One more thing. Why did you stop me?!"
"Um... uh... I stopped you because I didn't know what you were up to, and I um... I was worried," said Kagome blushing like mad.
They headed off toward camp again. Kagome was still worried about Shippo. She didn't say anything about it, though. She didn't want to get Inuyasha steamed off. Kagome was starting to regret letting Shippo wander in the woods. He promised he would be careful.
Kagome's feet were starting to hurt from all of her walking and running around today. She didn't feel well either. She was about to stop when Inuyasha started to speed up. "Not again." she thought as she once again chased after Inuyasha. It took Kagome to realize where they were going. She soon recognized this part of the forest. They were going back to camp.
