I really apologies for the long wait for this chapter. I have been doing essay after essay in my English class. You can also blame my laziness for not writing. I'm thinking I should end this story soon.. I feel as if I stretched it a bit too long. Well I better get on to the story before there is a riot.

To the reviewers:

1) Mystic Hanyou: You'll just have to read in order to find out. Enjoy.

2)ANIMEGAL310: Nani! I dissapointed you.... Noooo, I hope I don't dissapoint you in this Chapter.

Disclaimer: me still no own Inuyasha.


The sun finally rises for the new day. The light streamed into the small hut to signal that morning had finally came. With in the hut Inuyasha, Kagome and Sango were getting ready to depart back.

Sango walked outside with Kiarara. Clouds of air escape their mouths as the let out a breath. Kiarara quickly turned into her larger self as Inuyasha carried Miroku carefully out of the hut. He was soon followed by Kagome who carried Shippo, holding him close to her.

Inuyasha laid the unconscious monk on top of the fire cat before Sango got mounted the large cat. Once things where settled upon Kiarara, Inuyasha kneeled before Kagome, his back facing her. Kagome gets on his back and shifts the backpack on hers.

Inuyasha stands up nods towards Kiarara. They both begin their travel towards Keade's village. They made few stops. Only rests for both Kiarara and Inuyasha and for food and to check on Miroku and Shippo.

They arrived at the village by night fall. Little talk had been done by the three worried friends. Kagome quickly gets off of Inuyasha and walks towards Keade's hut as Inuyasha picks up Miroku and Sango gets off Kiarara so the fire cat can transform back into her smaller form.

Kaede greets them at the front of her hut. "Welcome back. Ye find the shard ye were looking for?" She then noticed the unconscious kitsune and monk. "What happen to them?"

"We'll explain inside, Kaede." Kagome rushes inside the hut followed by Inuyasha, Sango and Kiarara. Kaede follows them in as well. Inuyasha lays Miroku down on a futon that Sango had set up while Kagome wraps Shippo in a blanket.

They now sat around a fire in the middle of Kaede's hut. Kagome explains the situation with help from Inuyasha and Sango. After the explanations were given the old priestess closes her eye and begins to think, filling the room with an uneasy silence.

Kaede's sigh breaks the silence and everyone's eyes are trained on her. "There is a cure," Kaede begins as she opens her eyes. "Its one that is hard to find but one of their growth places is quiet close." She gets up and walks over to some clay pots that where used to hold her herbs. "I use to have a good supply of the flower but now I don't even have enough for thee little kitsune." She brings over a small pot. "The only way to find such a flower to cure your friends is by the smell alone for it looks likes many other plants."

She hands Kagome the pot and sits down. Inuyasha take the pot and sniffs the contents. Closing the pot, he gets up and says "I guess we should start searching for that plant now" Kagome and Sango nod before getting up as well.

"Ye must hurry. I don't think these two would survive very long with out a cure" Kaede beckons them. The group nods and head out the door to begin their search for the cure for their friends.
