DISCLAIMER: I don't own InuYasha!! Whew, that was hard.

Thirty Days

Chapter 3

"What is that supposed to mean?" Inuyasha said.

"Do you mean." Kagome couldn't bring herself to say it and her eyes watered on the brink of crying.

"Um, does...does that mean that his kazaana is...is finally, um, going to end his life?" Sango stuttered, emotions flooding her senses.

"I'm afraid that he might only have thirty days to live, unless Naraku is destroyed, and soon. There is really nothing ye can do." Kaede said, remorse filled her voice and her face was downcast.

"How are we going to tell him?" Kagome asked.

"Tell me what?" Miroku had woken up. He sat up awaiting the answer. "If it is what I think you are going to tell me, I myself suspected that is was so. My hand has been bothering me for awhile, I knew that eventually it must happen."

"We have to kill Naraku! It is time that that bastard pays," Sango exclaimed, fire burning in her eyes, "for everything!"

"Well then lets go. It's about time you people decided to take action." Inuyasha said grabbing his Tetsusaiga.

"Miroku, I advise against going on such a strenuous journey. Your kazaana may and most likely will pain your entire body." Kaede said.

"I must go! This is my only chance to be saved and I must help." He said adding, "Besides, how will they know if I am even able to be saved! What if they find out that I died and that the journey was in vain?

"Oh!" Kagome exclaimed. She dashed out the door and to the well, jumping in. On the other side she climbed out.

The door to her home was open and she ran inside to Souta's room. "Souta? Where are those walkie-talkies that Mom got you for your birthday?"

"Um, I think they are under my bed, why?" the boy said entering his room.

Kagome dug through the junk that was under his bed until she came to a box with walkie-talkies in it. She took them out and turned to Souta, "Can I borrow these?"

"Yeah, what do you need them for?"

"Something in Inuyasha's time, if I don't manage to get them back to you I promise I will buy you more." She said hugging her brother. He stared at her, she seemed sad about something, but she usually was when she came home. He decided not to ask about it.

"Good luck, Kagome."

"Thanks!" she yelled back to Souta as she ran to the well. Batteries. Crap I forgot batteries. She made a quick u-turn and went to the kitchen. Standing on a chair, she reached for the basket on the fridge where the batteries were. Luckily they had some and she grabbed them and put them in the walkie-talkie box.

She ran outside to the well and jumped back through. When Kagome climbs out she finds Shippou and Inuyasha waiting on her.

"You're back!!" Shippou exclaimed.

"Yeah, where did you go anyway?" Inuyasha said his eyebrow arched.

"I went to get some walkie-talkies so that Miroku can talk to us when we leave!" she said.

"A what?" the others asked.

"A walkie-talkie." Kagome said.

"And what is a 'walkie-talkie'?" Miroku asked.

"Well...I know! Here." She said handing him on of the walkies. "I'm going to go outside and say something. You will be able to hear me with this. To talk back hold down this button." With that she walked out. A few minutes later Kagome's voice came from the small device that Miroku held, startling them all.

"What the hells?!" Inuyasha said, staring at the walkie-talkie.

"Press the button I showed you to talk back!" the voice said.

Miroku pressed the button and held it saying, "What an interesting device. Can you hear me now?" (AN Sorry couldn't help it)

Kagome started to say something back, but realized that Miroku hadn't let go of the button yet because she could still hear the other voices in the hut. So, she walked back inside and explained exactly what she meant. Sango did the best with it, and by the time the others understood it was dark outside. It was decided that they would set out the next morning for where they thought Naraku's castle was.
