Review Responses:
Saiko-Neko 1st chap. review: Yes, I figured that out after I wrote the chapters.
Saiko-Neko 3rd chap. review: Glad Sesshomaru amused you; I'm finding him slightly out of character though. This is more what I think Sesshomaru is like… he can't be all evil… Getting off track! Thanx for reviewing again.
Disclaimer: Let's try to get this right now… Rumiko Takahashi-san owns Inu-Yasha… however I would like to borrow some…
Chapter 4: Figuring Things Out
Kirara (back in her smaller form now) pawed at the white hairs mewing loudly. "Miroku-sama, do these look familiar to you? I've seen them before but I just can't figure out where!" Sango called
Miroku looked over her shoulder peering at the familiar white strands, then suddenly it hit him "Sesshomaru!" he hissed Sango made the connection between the few white strands and Sesshomaru's fluffy boa tail.
"Of Course, but why?" Sango said to herself Kirara continues to mew and paw at the white hairs. "Did Sesshomaru take Kytami & Shippo, Kirara?" The neko youkai nodded her head and stopped pawing at the hairs. It all fits now! Sango thought I bet Sesshomaru trapped Kagome just so he could capture Kytami and Shippo! Then he created the illusion for Miroku. Wait… Where was Miroku? Quickly Sango looked over her shoulder to find him standing behind her, surprisingly not doing anything perverted, a troubled look placed upon his face.
"What is it Miroku-sama?" Sango asked slightly concerned about the look on his face.
"Inu-Yasha is gonna kill me!" Miroku replied, " His last words to us were 'Take care of my kid' remember?"
"Hai, I remember his last words to us, as in you and me, which means he will kill both of us ne?" Sango countered. Miroku nodded feeling ashamed it was his fault Sango was gonna get in trouble. "We should find Sesshomaru then, just let me leave a letter explaining what happened so when they come back they won't be surprised to find their house empty." Miroku nodded again. Sango ignored his lack of voice and turned to Kirara asking "Can you sniff out Sesshomaru, Kirara?"
The Neko Youkai nodded and transformed into her bigger form once again. Miroku and Sango climbed on her back as Kirara took off into the air.
Back at the well
Inu-Yasha sniffed the ground, Kagome was definitely here somewhere he could smell her. He looked everywhere around the well and finally jumped in the well. Wait, he couldn't get through. Some barrier was blocking him! It was probably blocking Kagome too. He looked around for the nearest tree slicing it with Tetsusaiga (spelling?) he broke off a fairly long branch. He poked it into the well. It went through the barrier. Kagome squealed and moved out of the way as a branch from somewhere broke through the barrier nearly hitting her. Inu-Yasha smiled as he heard a squeal, he was right he had heard a cry for help before… Inu-Yasha told himself not to ignore his gut feelings anymore. "Relax, Kagome it's me" he called down the well.
Kagome sighed in relief as Inu-Yasha's voice reached her ears. She grasped the tree branch with both hands and felt herself being pulled through the barrier. As she left the barrier it disappeared. Good she would be able to go back (an: Or is it forward?) later. Inu-Yasha pulled her into a hug. She smiled and kissed him. "We better get back!" Inu-Yasha exclaimed.
"Sango-chan, & Miroku-sama will worry right?" Kagome said.
"Right," Inu-Yasha replied. He hated when Kagome said what he was thinking. They returned back to their little house to fid it empty. Kagome found the note form Sango and started to cry. "What is it?" Inu-Yasha asked. Another thing he hated was seeing Kagome cry. Kagome handed him the letter continuing to cry. He quickly read over the letter. "That bastard!" Inu-Yasha shouted pissed.
"Which one?" Kagome asked "Sesshomaru or Miroku?"
"Right now, both!" Inu-Yasha replied "I left my best friend in charge of my only kid and he fails! For that he's a bastard! As for Sesshomaru he's always been a bastard but trapping my wife and kidnapping my daughter this has gone to far. Sango said an illusion tricked Miroku but he's smarter than that there's only one thing that could trick him…"
"… Women," Kagome finished. "So the illusion was a woman. It makes sense, except for one part why?"
Good question, Inu-Yasha thought. Why did Sesshomaru take Kytami and Shippo? There was only one reason he could thing of… it must have been for Rin, the human child that followed Sesshomaru around. Inu-Yasha sniggered at his own thoughts.
"Nani?" Kagome asked.
"I think I've figured this out, my own 'human-hating' HALF brother has kidnapped our child for his human tag-a-long's amusement" Inu-Yasha replied still sniggering.
"For Rin?" Kagome asked Inu-Yasha nodded. "Inu-Yasha can you sniff out Sango? Her letter said she Miroku have left with Kirara to find Sesshomaru."
Inu-Yasha nods and says, "Climb on Kagome," Kagome smiles and jumps on Inu-Yasha's back grabbing her bows and arrow. Just like old times she thought.
With Sesshomaru!
Kytami walked along silently behind Sesshomaru a pout on her face. Shippo how ever was asking Sesshomaru many questions. None of which Sesshomaru was answering instead he looked back at Kagome's child, who his name he did not yet know. She's kind of cute he thought (I KNOW Sesshy's OOC) especially when she's pouting like that. A slight smile appeared on the demons face.
Sesshomaru stopped walking and motioned for Kytami to come closer. Shippo's growled quietly and Sesshomaru nearly laughed for his growl sounded more like Kirara purring. Kytami grudgingly obeyed and came closer.
"There's someone I want you to meet in a clearing in the forest just over there." Sesshomaru stated pointing to a clump of trees in the West. Kytami nodded and suddenly spoke
"Who?" she asked.
"Rin," Sesshomaru said, "Do you know who she is?" Kytami nodded.
"How come you answer her questions?" Shippo complained.
Sesshomaru ignored this and kept walking toward the clump of trees.
