Crystal: She is still gone! My soul sister is still not able to be here!

Last Time

Sango smiled, "Then it's settled, Miroku and I are coming with you and Inuyasha!"

Kagome cheered, "Yay! You know what; all of a sudden this feels like it's going to be a ton of fun….by the way, does anybody know where exactly we're going?"

At first there was pure silence until, "I heard a rumor about a psychic who can answer all questions asked. She lives in a village nearby."

Kagome smiled, "Then that's where we'll go! This'll be so much more fun then detention."

Miroku turned to Sango and Inuyasha, "Any of you got a clue what she's talking about?"

"Nope."

"Not a clue."

Chapter 4

Kagome skipped down the dirt road, admiring the raw beauty of the wide open spaces. She looked behind her to see everyone else giving her a weird look. 'I've gotten a lot of those.' She smiled at them, "What's wrong?" Nothing could ruin her good mood.

Inuyasha scoffed at her, "You're skipping around and staring at everything like you've never seen any of it before."

Kagome giggled, "I haven't! Back home it's just buildings and the only place you'll see grass is the park."

"But isn't that a little suffocating?" Sango asked, curiously.

Kagome shook her head, "I've lived in the city for my whole life. In fact, all of a sudden I think that sleeping in the outdoors with all this space is kinda freaky."

Inuyasha interrupted before anyone could say anything else, "You people talk too much. Why don't you shut up for once?" He walked ahead of everybody else, allowing Kagome to make faces at his back, "I saw that."

Kagome straightened up, "Oh, what did you see?" She asked innocently.

Inuyasha gave her a glance and turned away.

"Man, he's such a grump." Kagome whispered to Sango.

"I heard that."

Kagome cursed, "Do you know everything?"

Miroku answered, "Yup, he knew when I put worms in his bed when we were kids."

"That's because you asked me to get them for you." Inuyasha said.

Kagome snickered, "He did? Oh, that's bad, even Souta can do better then you."

Sango looked at her, "Souta? Isn't that the guy you said you'd kick in the gonads before you knocked Miroku out?"

Kagome sighed, "Yeah, surprisingly I miss the twerp and how he'd always wake me up with his trumpet." Kagome sighed wistfully.

"Look there's the village!" Miroku cried out.

Kagome smiled and said, "The psychic must be here! She'll tell us where the jewel is and it'll all be over!"

2 Hours Later

"That's it!" Kagome growled, nearly pulling her hair out of her head.

"Relax, we'll find her soon." Sango assured her, patting her on the back.

"We've been searching for 2 hours!" Kagome groaned, "I give up!"

"Um…Kagome," Sango said.

"I am tired of looking!" Kagome screeched.

"Kagome?"

"I'm going crazy!"

"Kagome!"

"What!" Kagome yelled angrily.

"Look!" Sango pointed to a tent nearby that said, "Psychic Tent."

"…………..Oh," Kagome approached the tent and opened the flap, leading inside, "Go get Inuyasha and Miroku." She said to Sango just before she walked into the tent.

Kagome looked around the small, dark tent and narrowed her eyes to see.

"Child, you've come for answers, haven't you?"

Kagome was startled by the voice and suddenly she could see the lining of an old woman, hunched over, "Um…yes, my friends and I have. We want to know where the Shikon jewel is."

The figure shifted, "You can see what can not be seen. But to find the invisible you'll need more then sight, you'll need those around you."

Kagome blinked, "That's nice but can you tell me where the Shikon jewel is?" She yelled loudly, as if the woman was senile.

"I'm not stupid! Just go to the village far north and ask for Satori. She'll house you and your friends and she's a treasure hunter. She'll be able to help you."

Kagome lifted two fingers as a peace sign, "Thanks baba yaga, I'll catch you later! Peace." She walked out of the tent, ignoring the grumbles coming from the old woman.

Miroku, Sango and Inuyasha arrived later, "Where were you guys!" Kagome asked.

Sango glared at Miroku, "Mr. Lecher over here couldn't pry himself away from a mother of two and ended up almost getting punched out by her husband."

Kagome laughed and repeated what Kaede had said to her.

"There is a village quite a ways from here. It'll take us a few days to get there." Inuyasha grumbled, still a little angry at Miroku for wasting so much time.

Kagome groaned, "Oh man, I knew I'd miss all my finals!"

Sango laughed and pulled Kagome towards the exit of the village, "Come on, it'll be fun, just like you said!"

"Damn it! Just give me one of those blankets!" Kagome moaned.

Miroku and Sango sighed and anticipated what would happen next.

"Shut up and stop complaining, you wench!" Inuyasha growled.

Kagome reached and grabbed his ear, "Listen you little jerk! Either you give us a blanket or I swear I'll rip off your ear!"

Inuyasha whined and gave up 3 blankets that he'd been hiding at least until Kagome found them hidden under his shirt. It wasn't that hard to notice since his stomach seemed to grow.

"Good boy." Kagome smirked, giving the others her blanket. "Now, go sit over there and be quiet."

Inuyasha growled and rubbed his ears. 'Damn bitch is nuts.' He thought angrily.

"I know what you're thinking and I am not a bitch. You want me to prove it?" Kagome said with a slight smug tone.

Inuyasha stared at her and scooted away.

Kagome smirked again, "Exactly."

Kagome turned to Miroku and Sango, only to realize they were already asleep. Though Miroku's hand had begun inching toward Sango and Sango had begun to inch towards a boulder. She sighed and lied down. 'I wonder what the old hag meant by "I'll need those around me?" I could understand Miroku and Sango but Inuyasha? I nee that guy as much as I need a tumor.'

Kagome closed her eyes and the last thing she heard was the slight rustle in the bushes.

Meanwhile

'It seems like the dog has gained some allies. No matter it won't stop me from killing him.' The shadow moved from the bushes to a tree and smirked, 'Though the loud girl seems quite………delicious.'

Crystal: Oooh, who might this be? I think we'll- I mean (Sniff) I'll acknowledge the first two people who answer. Oh and Baba yaga is a woman in a russian myth. you know, the one with the house that has chicken legs. The one who eats children.
