Hee hee... I got to go to four manga workshops at the Bellows Falls library. They're really fun. Basically I hung out with people, drew, and made fun of various things. I also learned how to draw figures better. Happiness! I got to read Pet Shop of Horrors. It rocks! I also got to read the second vol. of Crescent Moon, which also rocks. (So much awesome manga... :drool:) All you people who are reading this, I highly recommend them. ( Although not everyone will like them. Pet Shop of Horrors is really gweird. A word me and my friends made up. It means good weird. )

All right, enough of this author note that sounds like a diary!

Disclaimer: Eviloni101 owns nothing. All she owns is this story line, which comes from a dream, but she left out the evil, blood thirsty monkeys, the people carrying an ocean, and, of course, her old math teacher breathing fire and math papers from this fic. (Shudder) Ms. Ferland in an Inuyasha fic. Terrifying. Enjoy! (This was brought to you by Gnatz, Eviloni's alternate personality who is currently chasing the people who stepped on her minions, the dee's, with a giant mallet. :sigh:)

Chapter 4

Kagome crept across the room over to a cabinet, opened a drawer, pulled out her old clothes and stuffed them into a bag that was strung across her back. She crept back across the room to her bed and grabbed her katana, tying it to her waist with a strip of fabric from the sheets. She walked over to the window and, after testing to see if it was strong enough climbed out and started her descent down.

"Careful Kagome, if you fall you die. Or, they'll find you. Either way, you'll be stuck her forever." She whispered to herself. " Slowly, baka, or you'll fall."

She lowered herself to a ledge above the window three floors below the window she started at. She swung her legs over the ledge and let them dangle. She sighed. 'I wish Souta was here. He would love climbing walls.' She grinned at the image of Souta climbing walls and jumping over ledges that had popped into her mind. Suddenly she was jarred from her thoughts when a gust of wind blew past her face. She shook her head and continued her descent.

After about five minutes of climbing, her feet touched the ground. After letting go of the vine and dropping to the soil, she ran over to a tree, avoiding the guards' sight. Noticing that the tree was right next to the gate and was the same height, she climbed the tree, jumped onto wall of the gate, and looked around. 'The guards aren't looking. Now I can escape!' She leaped down and started running, with her head turned around to keep an eye out for anyone who would try and stop her.

"Yes! I made it- oomph!" She ran into something warm and solid, which caused her to fall to her butt onto the ground. Rubbing her nose, she looked up and saw Inuyasha standing above her.

"What are you doing here?! I thought you were in the castle, asleep!" Inuyasha yelled/said.

"I could ask the same for you! It's the middle of the night." Kagome stood up, brushing dirt off of her. Inuyasha turned towards the castle, ignoring Kagome's question.

"Come with me. We're going back to the castle."

Kagome snorted and started to walk away. "You may be going, but not me. I'm leaving." She kept walking, oblivious that Inuyasha had turned around and was staring at her back.

'This stupid girl is going to be trouble,' he thought. 'I'll have to ask father why she has to stay. Oh, well, she's coming back to the castle whether she likes it or not.' He grabbed the collar of Kagome's clothes and started to drag her towards the castle.

"AH! Let go of me you ass! I said, let go of me!" Kagome yelled at him as she struggled against his grip. But her struggles were in vain. Before she knew it, she was back in the castle, standing before Inutaisho, Izouyi, and Sango. Everyone was in their bedclothes because Kagome's yelling had woken them all up.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Inutaisho yelled, pacing in front of them. "It's two in the morning, for heavens sake! What were you thinking, yelling like that? You could have woken the entire Kingdom with the noise you were making!"

Miroku walked in, rubbing his eyes, disgruntled by all the yelling. "Whas happin? Did somebod dy?" he asked groggily, yawning and stretching his arms.

"You would think so, wouldn't you? Nah, Inuyasha and Kagome just got in trouble for yelling and waking everyone up," Sango replied dryly.

"Inuyasha? Kagome? Alone? Arguing?" Miroku's eyes lit up. He went over to Inuyasha and clapped him on the back. "Lovers quarrel already! Wow Inuyasha, you really work fast!"

"It wasn't like that!" Inuyasha protested. "She was trying to run away, and I was trying to stop her and bring her back!"

"Sure, ya were. You scurvy dog! Why do you think she was running in the first place?" Sango walked up to him and slapped him across the back of his head.

"Stupid hentai. You know it wasn't like that. Baka."

Kagome just stared. 'These people are really strange. Why'd I have to get stuck with them?'

Izouyi cleared her throat and everyone looked at her. "Inuyasha, what were you doing outside?"

"I was getting some fresh air. It stinks in here."

Inutaisho sniffed the air. "I don't think it stinks. I think it smells really good in here."

"Maybe to you."

"Kagome, what were you doing outside?" Izouyi asked.

"She was trying to escape. I saw her climbing down the walls with a vine." Inuyasha interrupted before Kagome could say anything.

"A vine? What were you doing, hopping down the wall?" Sango said, sarcasm evident in her voice. Kagome grinned sheepishly, remembering how she had climbed down.

"You hopped down using a vine?! What if the vine had broken? What if you had fallen? What the hell were you thinking?! You could have died!" Sango ranted off into millions of reasons how Kagome could have died.

Inuyasha, Miroku, Kagome, and Inutaisho just stared at her while Izouyi just smiled and sighed, then spoke again.

"But seriously, Kagome, what were you thinking? Sango's right. You could have died." Izouyi continued in a tone that caused Kagome to squirm.

"I needed to get out of here so I can avenge my families death and find my brothers kidnappers, kill them and make them tell me were my brother is." Kagome said defiantly, looking strait at Izouyi.

Inutaisho step forward and started speaking to Kagome. "If you don't mind me asking, how did your family die?"

"A youkai burned down my village, leaving no survivors, except my brother and my self. My mother gave her life to save Souta, my brother. Before she died she told me that a youkai came and started a fire on the thatch roof of everyone's houses. Before she died, she made me promise that I would take care of Souta, no matter what. But I failed her. A few months later, a rat youkai and a vulture youkai kidnapped Souta. I killed one of them, but the other got away, taking Souta with him." Kagome said, tears welling in her eyes. 'I will not cry in front of these people. I will not cry!' The tears disapeared.

"Did you see anyone before you left? Maybe a youkai with long, wavy black hair?" Inutaisho sounded hopeful.

"No, but I saw three youkai with silver hair. One looked about my age, with dog-ears..." Kagome paused. 'All three have silver hair and Inuyasha is about my age and has dog-ears. They sound exactly like the three youkai I saw!'

(AN) I am sorry that this chapter is so short. I've been having writer's block, so it's pretty hard to write. Please forgive me! (Bows low to the ground on her knees.) I've also had no inspiration, because no one reviewed the last chapter! (Sob) Read, plus reviewing,plus me reading reviews, equals happy authoress, which equals good chapters and updates! Please review!
