Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha...just the character Zuvona.

Zuvona stepped closer to the tree and looked up at Inuyasha. "I see you have really grown."

Inuyasha gulped, "It's been a long time."

Zuvona nodded, "A very long time indeed."

Meanwhile, back at camp, Kagome woke up and noticed Inuyasha missing.

"Oh no," Kagome exclaimed, "I hope Inuyasha's all right."

Kagome got up and went running through the woods shouting for Inuyasha.

Zuvona stopped in mid sentence and looked at Inuyasha.

"Sounds like it's time for me to go." Zuvona said with a smile.

Inuyasha turned to the shouts of his name coming from Kagome and then looked back at Zuvona but realized it was too late. Zuvona had disappeared. Kagome came running through the trees.

"I'm right here, Kagome."Inuyasha said jumping down from the tree. Kagome looked closely at Inuyasha and noticed he was as white as a sheet.

"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Nothing," Inuyasha replied. "Let's get back. The others will be up soon."

In a nearby tree Naraku laughed.

"So," Naraku said, "She has finally come out of hiding. Now, I can get my revenge."
