Chapter 5: Lost

Kagome ran into the deepest darkest area of the forest for what felt like hours, until her breath was too short for her to continue. She sat under a nearby tree panting heavily to regain control of her breath, her tears had dried from all of the running.

She looked up to the sky to find that the sun was yet to set.

"I have to find a village soon!" she panicked, "How could I have been as stupid to run off without protection!" she scolded.

Her eyes peered for any type of civilization.

All that surrounded her was bushes, trees and the nearing darkness of the night.

She was lost.

A fresh batch of tears had reached her as she found herself in a very bad perdicament.

-------------------------

Inuaysha sat up in his favourite tree, his eyes focused on the darkening sky above.

'Where can Kagome be?' he plotted with worry, 'We can't have her wandering off while there are still shards out there!'

They have been immobilized for about three days since Kagome had spent time in her time, and today had also held them back.

'But you know that you're just worried about her after what you had said,' intruded his human voice in his mind.

A low growl left his throat.

'Either way, she should know never to stay out in this kind of dangerous darkness!' argued his youkai side.

'Well, who knows where she could be! You have to find her before some youkai does!' reasoned his human side, causing Inuyasha to jump up in unusion.

'You're right!' Inuyasha's eyes filled with panic as darkness had overcome the horizon in front of him.

He leaped off of his tree in a quick pace towards where he had left her.

-----------------------------

Kagome shivered as the cold of the night had reached her. She clenched her teeth and held herself tightly.

'I'm gonna freeze out here if I don't find shelter.' her mind reminded her.

She slowly stoop up and started to wal toward the side of the bushes. Every step was painful and immobilizing, but she continued. Pushing behind the leaves, Kagome was surprised to find an abandoned campsite.

Ashes and small twigs were all that was left of the old camp.

She walked towards the ashes and searched for any type of rock or dry wood to start the fire. Even if it would only end up to be a spark or so.. she would be grateful for its tiny warmth.

Two rocks lay to the corner of a small cave that Kagome had found.

She reached for them and was about to snatch them when a audible growl came from the cave..

Kagome froze.

-----------------------------------

Miroku looked to the corner of the room where Sango sat nervously, peering out at the mirror.

'Where ould they have been by now?!' she fearfully wondered, 'It's getting really dark!'

"My dear Sango, don't worry. I'm sure is taking good care of her. You know he would never let anything happen to Kagome," Miroku convinced her, as if reading her mind.

Sango's worried expression had softened a little, but her eyes stayed worrisom.

Miroku inched over to her and gave her a comforting smile.

That was until Sango felt a slight caress of her bottom.

Miroku found himself with a new slap impression on his cheek as the fuming Sango stood above him, her worried expression had long dessipated.

'That hurt.. but it was worth it, ' plotted the Houshi as a sly grin reached his face.

--------------------------------

Inuyasha had finally reached the well where he had left her. He desperatly searched for her scent..

It had been long faded but was still recognizable.

The scent trailed off to the dark forest.

Fear had consumed him fully.

"Shit!"
