Mesu watched the villagers from her window. She hadn't moved from that spot since the incident in the woods. Every time Inuyasha got close to her, she would burst out in tears and run away. He had begun to worry.
"What did you do to her?" Kagome asked Inuyasha, who was sitting on the roof, sulking. "I don't know. I wish I knew, but I don't." he replied with a sigh. "Maybe you should talk to her." She suggested. "I can try." He sighed again, jumping down from the roof. He walked slowly to Mesu's hut, breathing deeply as he reached the door. "Mesu." He said softly as he rapped on the door. She did not reply. "Please Mesu. I want to talk to you." He pleaded. There still was no reply. He pushed open the door slowly. "Mesu?" he inquired at the silence. He looked around the small hut, but Mesu was nowhere inside. "Shit." He said to himself, running outside. "Mesu. Mesu!" he cried out. He ran through the village, searching everywhere he could think to search. "Goddamnit!" he screamed. He frantically started searching every hut, looking for some sign of his beloved Mesu. "Damn it!" he growled, banging his fists against the ground. "What's wrong?" Kagome asked. "Mesu's gone!" he howled.
Mesu watched Inuyasha from a hilltop overlooking the village. "Good-bye Inuyasha." She said softly, turning away from the village. She started walking away until she heard a soft mew and felt a gentle tugging on her hakama. She looked down and saw Kilala sitting by her leg. "Are you running away with me?" Mesu asked the little cat. Kilala looked up at her and meowed. "Alright Kilala. Let's go." Mesu sighed, taking her last look at her home. With Kilala following close at her heels, Mesu disappeared into the forest.
"It's all my fault." Inuyasha said, sitting in Yujin's hut. "She left because of me." He sighed. "It's not your fault Inuyasha." Yujin said, patting his shoulder. "Yes it is!" he yelled. "She left because I hurt her." "You didn't mean to." Kagome said softly. "I didn't even have a chance to tell her that I... that I... Ahhh! I can't even say it!" he growled. "I don't deserve to say it." "Stop blaming yourself." Miroku stated. "Don't worry Inuyasha. We'll find her." Sango said. "Yes we will. We'll start looking when it gets light out." Kagome said. Inuyasha just nodded.
Two days passed, but they found no trace of Mesu. They searched every inch of the forest, but never saw any sign of her or Kilala. Mesu had traveled far beyond the woods, to a cavernous region, a dark and dreary place. Mesu stopped in front of a cave with a dim light shining from within. "Here we are Kilala. The dwelling of Majo, the demon witch." Mesu said. Kilala looked up at her and mewed. "Let's go in, shall we?" Mesu mused. Kilala meowed softly as they entered the large cave.
