Disclaimer: I am writing from in jail right now. It seems that Rumiko caught on to me and reported my stalking to the police. I will be let out in a few days due to her kindness, so therefore I will stop stalking her. But there are other ways to get the papers.......::cackles evilly:: Until then, Inuyasha is not mine.
A/N: Here it is!! I hope the story is getting more interesting!!

CHAPTER 6
================================================================

".......To have any chance of saving Inuyasha, you need that."

Kagome looked up at Kaede with a determined look, "OK, Where can I find it?"

Kaede's answer took her a little off guard though, "Who knows." She nearly fell over in astonishment.

"What do you mean, 'Who knows'?" asked Sango rudely

"It is a priceless artifact. It has probably gone from owner to owner the last few hundred years and is probably in the hands of someone very rich. I'm sorry, but I can't help you any more than I have."

Kagome looked downcast, but she nodded her thanks. "May I buy this book from you?"

"Keep it, no charge. I was actually just about to pack up all my stuff anyway. Business hasn't been very good lately, it seems no one believes in the worlds magic anymore. Oh well, they just better not come crying to me when the undead come after them."

Kagome smiled at the woman's complaining and turned to leave with Sango, "Good-By Miss Kaede, I hope I will run into you some time in the future."

"Yeah-yeah. Just don't expect me to save you if a youkai is chasing you."

================================================================

The two friends stepped outside and into the dimming sunlight. The afternoon was wearing away and they both should probably head home. They stopped for a moment as their thoughts wandered until a voice rang out through the street, "Sango! My sweet!"

Miroku came bounding towards them, he was also still in his school uniform. (Picture Hojo's on Miroku and Kagome's on herself and Sango. Sango in Kagome's uniform? That'll be the day.")

Sango looked a bit pissed off. "Miroku? Were you stalking me again?"

"Why, in heavens name no! I wasn't stalking, I was just following you without letting you see me, that's all."

Sango let out a sigh and she and Kagome marched past him towards home.

================================================================

When they had to leave in separate ways, Sango turned to Kagome one last time and gave her a hug. Puling back she looked sadly into Kagome's eyes.

"I'm so sorry it didn't work out Kagome"

"It's okay, I guess..."

"Sorry what didn't work out Sango?" asked Miroku in a confused voice.

"It isn't my place to tell you, it's Kagome."

They looked at her expectantly for an answer.

"It's okay, you can tell him Sango. I don't feel like telling the whole story a third time today."

"You sure?"

Kagome nodded and walked slowly back to her family's shrine. Sango watched her go with a sad face and Miroku watched with a still utterly confused one.

================================================================

A storm had started during dinner and rain poured down outside the house. After dinner, Kagome excused herself and went up to her room. Before she turned the light on there was a huge flash of lightning and a silouhette was crouching on her windowsill that nearly gave her a heart attack as her heart rate sped up. Flicking the switch, she gasped.

"Inu..Yasha?"

================================================================


A/N: Really short chapter....but really necessary. Poor Kagome. A dead end in her search to help Inuyasha and now he has popped up in her room. What is their conversation going to be like? I hope it won't take me long to update. In your spare time you could rant at me in your reviews! Try not to be too mean!! Arigatou!!
