The New Search Begins
The girls searched the mall quickly for Miroku and Inuyasha. They finally found them and told them about the phone call Kagome received. They hurried back to Miroku's car and rushed to Kagome's house. When they got there Kagome saw several construction workers leaving. She rushed up the stairs to the shrine with Inuyasha leaping the stretch of trees behind her. Miroku and Sango had to first secure the car, but were soon following. Kagome finally reached the top of the stairs and rushed over to her house. She threw open the door and rushed to the kitchen, only to find everyone in tears. Kagome was ecstatic and worried "Mom, mom, what is wrong? What happened? Is everyone okay? Where is Souta?" Souta came out of the bathroom with a box of Kleenexes. "No, Kagome, it is not Souta. Look out towards the shrine." Kagome hurried outside towards the shrine, Inuyasha just sat on the roof watching. Kagome reached the shrine with her family close behind. The shrine had been demolished. Kagome looked at the shrine with wide eyes. Her mom sighed. "Kagome, I am so sorry. You can't see Inuyasha anymore..." Kagome began to protest but stopped herself when her mom put her hand up. "Kagome also..." her eyes became wet yet again, "I am afraid someone perished in the fall of the shrine." Kagome looked over at the shrine only to find two spotted paws stretched out of the rubble. Kagome began to cry and started digging through the rubble. Her hands became bloody from rusted nails and splinters, but she didn't care. She reached the owner of the paws, her cat, Buyo. Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha went and stood behind her. She began crying heavily. "Buyo...no...my poor cat." Inuyasha bent down and hugged her gently, and whispered in her ear. "Kagome, there is more lost here than you know." Kagome turned towards her embracer confused. Inuyasha just smiled. "What..." Inuyasha put his hand up before she could say anything more. "Right now Kagome, we need to bury your cat." He stood up and went to look for a shovel. Kagome just embraced her dear friend for a while longer remembering all the good times they had had in the past.
A short while later, they held a funeral for their dear friend, and even family member, Buyo. Everyone cried and threw flowers. Inuyasha buried the cat and set the shovel next to the shed. Miroku prayed and set up a tombstone from a piece of wood. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha. It was now dark and impossible to see his face. She looked at him with sad eyes. "Inuyasha...What did you mean earlier when you said that more was lost then I knew?" Inuyasha raised his head to show a single tear slid down his face. "My home Kagome. The well is destroyed, and I have no home." Kagome put her hands over her mouth and gasped. How could she look over the fact that Inuyasha's home was destroyed? The only path to the Feudal era. How could she be so blind? She reached her hand out towards Inuyasha, but he pulled away. "Kagome, you just need to worry about your cat right now. It's no big deal really." He wiped his face and jumped off into the darkness. Kagome fell to her knees and cried even harder. 'How could I be sostupid to not see what had happened to him? Was I so selfish that I didn't look to see what problems he might have?' Kagome cried and slumped on the wall of her home. Her mother came over and held her. "It's alright Kagome. Just let it all out." Ms. Hagarashi helped her daughter into the house and onto her bed. Miroku and Sango just stood near the gravesite, while everyone went inside. "This is terrible." Sango pointed out. "Yeah," Miroku agreed, "I mean besides, where is Inuyasha going to stay? And what will happen when Naraku finds out that we aren't there anymore, and what about the jewel shards and, Shippouand..." Sango shook him. "Miroku calm down. Don't worry about all those things at once. We will decide what to do tomorrow. Now get a hold of yourself." Miroku took a deep breath and calmed down. "Good. Now how about Inuyasha stays over at your place tonight?" Miroku lowered his head. "Okay, but I would rather it be you who was spending the night at my house..." Sango slapped him and walked off. "Now give me a ride home. It's late and we all need our rest. I will wait in the car while you find Inuyasha." Miroku rubbed his cheek, and sighed. "Alright. Inuyasha...Where are you?" Miroku walked down the stairs looking around. It was dark and eerie on the stairs. Miroku began to panic. "Uh...I-I-nuya-yasha...." All of a sudden Inuyasha jumped out of the tree in front of him, making him scream. "AAAHHHH!" Since Miroku wasn't aware of the fact that it was Inuyasha, he hit him on the head with a tree branch and knocked him out. "Uh...oops" Miroku rubbed his head and then picked him up and carried him to the car. When he got there, Sango just looked at him. "Did he fall asleep in a tree or something?" Miroku shook his head. "No, actually...I accidentally hit him in the head and knocked him out." Sango began laughing. "Miroku put Inuyasha in the backseat and looked at Sango. "Why are you laughing?" Sango held up and finger. "1. You were scared of the dark, and 2. Inuyasha is going to knock the living crap out of you when he wakes up." Miroku just mumbled and drove the car to Sango's house. He pulled up in the driveway of an apartment complex. "Goodnight Sango." Sango began to get out of the car when she felt something crawl along her bottom.
Miroku drove home withtwo lumps onhis head. He pulled up in the driveway of his large double storied house. He called a servant and they towed Inuyasha up the stairs to one of the guest rooms.
