Inuyasha and Kagome walked quietly down the stairs but stopped before a corner, hearing voices. "Kate, it's your sister." They heard a voice gently explaining to her. "She's been kidnapped, right out of her room. It happened three days ago." They heard Kira's gasp of shock and listened closer. "Someone else was taken," they heard her mother say.
"Who?" asked Kira.
"Kyle."
"What? Why would he be taken too? Was it on the same day?" Peeking around the corner, Inuyasha caught the nod confirming this.
Then her father spoke again, "Kate, did you have any enemies back from where you came from?"
At this Inuyasha came around the corner causing everyone to jump. "She doesn't, but I do."
"You mean... the one you told me about? ...Naraku?" Kira asked.
"Yes, he's totally out to get me and ruin everything I care about." He looked at his sister. "And I care about you very much. I don't know how, but it was probably him."
"But why-"
"Because he's out to get me. He want to see me dead, but if not that, miserable."
"So, they're probably back home?" asked Kira.
"Unless you have any other ideas about why two people close to Kira would be taken on the same night." He directed this to Kira's parents. They both shook their heads.
"Well, we have to find them! What might he do to them?!" Kira asked. When Inuyasha didn't answer it made her feel even worse. "We have to go back! We have to leave right now!" Her eyes were swirling an anxious blue grey. "We have to save them!"
"You can't! We don't want to loose you too Kate." Her mother pleaded.
"You'd just give up on them that fast?" Her eyes flashed red as she glared at her parents.
"Kira, calm down!" Kagome said. "You have to calm down so we can think this through. First we have to tell the others. They're still waiting outside. Then we'll hurry back to the well and try to find Naraku."
Kira nodded her agreement and turned to her parents. She hugged them and whispered, "don't worry, I'll bring them back," and headed out the door after Kagome and Inuyasha, her parents staring after them. Kira heard her mom burst out in tears and tried to fight back tears of her own.
Once outside Kagome quickly explained what had happened and they all hurried to the well and jumped through. Once on the other side however, they stopped. "What's wrong?" demanded Kira.
"I don't know how to find him, he usually finds me." Inuyasha said.
"Let's just start walking and see if you catch the scent." Suggested Kagome.
"But we don't have any time to waste!" Kira yelled. "From what you've all told me he's a heartless murderer! All he cares about is ruining people's lives! We have to find him!"
"Let's go," said Inuyasha. He took off running in a random direction and the others followed close behind. After about ten minutes of frantic running Kagome tripped and Kouga sprang out of nowhere to help her up.
"What are you doing here?" growled Inuyasha.
"I'm helping Kagome." Replied Kouga. "She tripped and you were in such a hurry you would have left her."
Kira intervened as she saw Inuyasha tensing. "We don't have time to fight right now! Naraku has taken my sister and a close friend from the human world and we have to get them back before he harms them!" I
mmediately alert at the name Kouga quickly offered his help, which was accepted by Kira before Inuyasha could decline it. He grumpily picked up Kagome and they started off again.
Kouga ran up beside Kira and asked, "Do you have any idea where Naraku is?"
"No, but you or Inuyasha are bound to pick up his scent and I might catch my sister's or Kyle's."
"Kyle, is he a human boyfriend?" At Kira's blushing face he nodded and fell back a bit behind her. Suddenly Kira stopped causing Kouga to run straight into her, knocking them both over. "What is it?" he asked, rubbing his head.
"I sense Kyle." She paused. "And Laura!" she jumped to her feet and took off at a run again while everyone else followed, leaving Kouga in the dirt still rubbing his head. "Hey! Wait for me!" he yelled as he leapt to his feet and ran after them.
A few minutes later Kira stopped at the edge of a very thick forest. Inuyasha and Kouga both said that they sensed Naraku was near. Cautiously they all entered the woods, huddled in a group, staying very close together unknowing of what traps might have been set by Naraku and his minions.
"Who?" asked Kira.
"Kyle."
"What? Why would he be taken too? Was it on the same day?" Peeking around the corner, Inuyasha caught the nod confirming this.
Then her father spoke again, "Kate, did you have any enemies back from where you came from?"
