k. nobody is reviewing! Except my cousin!! That's fine I enjoy writing and I'm sure somebody will review it other than my loving cousin Jessica.....

"she's gone." Sango said surely. "she is not!" shippo contradicted confidently. "she probably took a walk."

Kirara walked next to inuyasha and jumped on his head between his snow white canine ears. "stupid cat! Get off!"

"is that all you can think of? All of the places?" miroku asked coming up behind sango. "I think so." She answered. "unless we can get some sort of clue."

Inuyasha finally pushed the cat off his head. "where the heck are you kagome?" he asked quietly to himself. "huh?" sango asked.

"nothing. Stupid miko...." He mumbled. The group traveled along the dirt path of which they saw marks of feet. Two paths both going the same way. One of them had marks going the separate way when the footsteps seemed to jerk back into place.

"this must have been what happened." Sango observed kneeling a bit. Miroku nodded. "sesshomaru wants kagome doesn't he?"

"not anymore!" inuyasha grouched. "he already has her!" he kicked a rock and continued following the path. He jerked to a stop. The footsteps led to a tree where they faded. Sango stopped with her fist to her chest. "this isn't going correctly. The footsteps start again after 6 trees. How can any kidnapper do that?"

inuyasha grinned. "when I get my hands on koga I'll tear his throat out." Inuyasha examined the unusual path. "inuyasha are you saying koga took her?" sango asked folding her arms. "of course dummy. Koga's a wolf. He can jump farther than my brother. Heh. I know where he lives. With the other idiot flea nests." He started to walk.

"why are you observing so professionally?" sango asked. Is she trying to get something out of me or something? Well I ain't telling her.

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" he yelled in her face immediately continuing the path. "I can't tell them I like her." He said to himself. Is that ALL? A voice urged at him. "duh." He said back. "it's not like I fantasize about her and love her not like her and...." He started to sweat. "leave me alone!" he yelled aloud. "inuyasha?" sango asked running to him. Miroku and shippo followed along. "you want to be alone to look for kagome yourself?" she asked.

"sure. Leave me alone." He said miserably. "I've lost her. The only thing I care about." Sango thought deeply. "and it took you until now to realize that?" inuyasha looked at her.

"I understand why she calls you a jerk!" she said with a mutiny look on her face. Kagome was right. I don't realize how much I appreciate her until I lose her.

He stood alone in the forest with guilt building on his mind and shoulders.....
