Ok. Sorry for leaving you guys hanging but I had to go on vacation for a while. I wish I was able to write there or before leaving but all it was rush, rush, rush. But I back and ready to give you more.

To the reviewers:

1)PinkPanth3r3ss: I'm glad that you like my story. Don't worry, You'll find out who it is soon.

Disclaimer: me no own Inuyasha.

Amber listens for signs that everyone was asleep. Once she was sure that she could leave. She finishes her note on the ground. Quickly she gets up and bolts out of the cave, making sure that she didn't make a noise.

Amber runs for an hour before stopping. She had to take a break or else she would over heat from her run or have trouble catching her breath. She had gotten really far. She looks back at where she had come. Not even with her eye sight could she even make out the cliff side where the cave was.

It took about an hour till she was ready to run again. She got up and ran again, becoming nothing but a slight streak to normal eyes. Trees past by her and rushed up to her. With her eyes she was able to see them coming easily and dodge them.

Her next break was at dawn. She sat near a stream, on a rock. From there she watches the sun rise. She was thinking of her sister. Tonight was the new moon and her sister would be in grave danger because of a curse set a pond them.

They have never been separated during this time. I hope she has prepared herself like always. Thoughts of what the curse did to her made her shutter. She takes out her pouch again and gazes at the fragment of shards that she has collected. "I wander what they are?"

Flashback...

Amber was walking through the forest when something landed right in front of her. She picks it up and examines the object. "It's a fragment of a jewel. I wander what type of jewel? Sis should figure it out."

She puts the fragment in her pouch around her neck. Not knowing it was a part of the Shikon no Tama, the jewel of four souls.

End flashback...

Amber puts the pouch back into her shirt and gets up to begin her run.

Unknown to her there were some flying demons just over head. They had scents the jewels when she had opened her pouch and had grown and interest in the cheetah hanyou. The male demon looks to his mate.

"Seems like she has shards of the Shikon no Tama." His mate nods "And she's half Cheetah demon. A wonderful treat wouldn't you agree?" She licks her beak. "Hai and the human blood in her should make her taste even better."

The two demons take flight. To follow Amber the best they could. Their eye sight able to follow her for great distantness.

Back in the cave......

Kagome wakes up feeling a jewel shard a great distance away. She sits up and looks around at the group. That was when she noticed that Amber was missing. She got up and began to gather her stuff.

Shippo stirs at her movements. He rubs his eye as he looked up to her "Kagome what's going on?" Sango and Miroku also stir at her movements "Kagome?" both Sango and Miroku ask.

Kagome looks at them. "I scented a jewel shard. It's really far away. Plus Amber is missing." Everyone looks to the spot that Amber rested to find that she was in deed not there.

Inuyasha enters the cave "Did I hear right. You scented a jewel shard" He stretched as he entered and looks around "Where is that Amber girl?"

Miroku at that point had picked up the mat and blanket she laid in. "Hey it seems that she has wrote us a note." The group goes over to Miroku to read it.

Friends,
Thank you so very much for helping me. I'm sorry for having to
leave so suddenly but I have to go find someone of major
importance to me. I hope you all understand. I hope that we will
meet again someday. Good luck and farewell.
Amber

They all lean back once finished. "Well at least she went so we won't have to worry about her joining in on our quest. Now let's go find that jewel shard" Inuyasha broke the silence. Everyone gets up and leaves the cave to find the jewel shards.

Back with Amber...

Nightfall was soon approaching. Amber had been running nonstop, still searching for her sister. Every time she stopped she opened her pouch to look at the jewels, still trying to determine what they were.

Her pace began to slow drastically. It was 15 minutes since she last took a break and she felt that she needed another one. She was losing her demon powers fast due to the full moon above. She was in a clearing when she stopped. Quickly she sniffs the air.

That's when she caught it, her sister's scent. It was weak but she knew which way to go. She smiles and softly says "Foxy." She sits on a rock as the rest of her demon powers left her human. Her right hand goes to her pouch and she slightly opens the pouch. That's when she heard two demon's screeches.
