After about an hour of searching Kagome and Sango stomped back inside.

"Find anything?" Inuyasha sneered.

"Shut up!" She said sitting down to eat the cold ramen.

"Touched a nerve did I?" He mocked.

"You won't have any if you don't shut up!"

"And if I don't?"

"SIT BOY!"

Inuyasha flew face first into a place he had come to know quite well: the ground.

Shippo sighed. "You can't say you didn't deserve it!"

"Shut up brat!"

"Kagome..." Shippo whined, but Kagome was not paying attention. She was deep in thought trying to figure something out. Inuyasha got up off the ground and stuck his face in front of hers.

"What are you thinking so hard about?"

"What do you care?" She said coolly.

"I don't, just seeing if I could help, you seemed bothered, that's all," he said in an indifferent voice.

She rolled her eyes and ate her food.

"Inuyasha?" She said finally after 15 minutes of silence.

"Yeah?"

"Do demons' bodies usually disappear?"

"Yeah, they turn to dust most times, why?"

"Do they disappear without any trace at all?"

"Not usually but I'm pretty sure it's possible..." He said thinking hard.

"Of course it's possible!" Said a small squeaky voice.

Myoga jumped on Inuyasha's nose and sucked a bt of blood from him. Inuyasha squished him and he floated down to his lap. "Hello Myoga," Inuyasha said coldly, "What do you want?"

"Only to help, Master Inuyasha."

"Myoga, do you know of many demons' bodies that disappear?" Kagome asked the squished flea demon.

"Oh yes, Lady Kagome, oh yes, you see some demons that are indeed powerful may have the ability to disappear entirely depending on the situation the body or body part is in. Like in your case the demon had shards of the Shikon Jewel embedded in it, the demon in question may have taken the shards with it to the depths of the netherworld..."

"So, we can never get it back?" She asked sadly.

"Not entirely true. This demon, what did it call itself?" He asked looking up to Inuyasha.

"Miranko," Inuyasha said with an ugly look on his face.

The flea gasped. "Please tell me you did not slay Miranko!"

"Uh yea, we did. Why?"

"She is, I mean she was a very powerful demon from the far far East, in the New World."

"The New World?" Kagome asked utterly confused.

"Yes, an untamed wilderness."

"North America?!" She asked.

"Is that what you call it in the future?" The flea asked looking mildly interested.

"Yeah, but anyway... What about Miranko?"

"Oh, yes... She was the daughter of one of the most powerful demons in history! Ochenogo..."

"Who?" Inuyasha said without the slightest clue as to what the flea was going on about.

"Oh my word! You truly are impossible Master Inuyasha!"

"I know, well what's the deal with this Ochenogo guy?"

"He rules the New World and was left in peace until some humans from England or where ever went across the sea to his realm. He was angered that they cut down the trees, and dug pits in the ground. He felt violated, he unleashed the demons, but they were vanquished by the newest form of weapons Man has made. A tube of metal that blows out fire, it causes instant death to any to come to the end of it."

"Guns? You mean guns?" Kagome asked.

"Probably, I don't know exactly what they're called. Anyway, Ochenogo was used to old weapons and old ways, he did not have any defences, the demon forces are growing weaker, and not all of them are bad, they are just trying to keep the balance. Ochenogo must have sent his daughter to retrive the Shikon Jewel to use as defence against the humans, now that you have slain her, his last chance is most likely gone, he has another daughter but she is not yet old enough to do the work Mianko was able to. So you see, either he will come and attack us or he will send an army to, either way he will avenge his daughters death, unless you can do something to help him."

"You mean kill the humans?" Kagome said uttering a gasp.

"Exactly!"

"We can't! I won't let it happen!" She shrieked and started to cry.

She fell into Inuyasha's chest and sobbed. "See what you've done now Myoga?!"

"I was only filling you in Master Inuyasha!"

"Well you made her cry!"

Kagome lifted her head. "Is there any other way to solve this? Without all the death and destruction?"

"There may be... I cannot know for sure unless I check it out but I will most surely do my best to find a more suitable way to deal this this predicament."

"Thank you" she muttered.

"Until we meet again my friends!" The flea said as he bowed and hopped away.

Sango and Miroku were so blown away that they had not spoke during the entire conversation. Sango crawled over to where Kagome was crying. "Are you all right Kagome?"

She looked up from Inuyasha's chest into Sango's worried face. "Yeah, I'll be fine, I just can't bare the thought of killing innocent humans."

Sango smiled weakly. "Don't worry we won't let it happen okay? We'll stop it."

Kagome nodded but leaned back into Inuyasha, he embraced her and whispered comforts in her ear.

"Don't you think we should load up the cart and start moving? We've been here quite a while" Miroku said in a calm voice.

Inuyasha nodded. "Kagome are you ready to keep moving?"

She lifted her head and nodded. "Sorry for crying like that..."

"Oh Kagome, I will never ever mind you crying, I only hope that I can comfort you if you do."

She smiled sweetly. "Thank you, you don't know how much that means."

He nodded and got up helping Kagome to her feet. She wiped her tears and gathered her things. The rest of them did the same without a word to one another, then Kagome got an idea....
