Chapter 6

Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha, but I do own the characters and plot.

Susuka- Isn't that right Miroku?

Miroku- ((comes out in a ballerina tutu)) Must I really wear this?

Susuka- Payback for treating Carolyn like that, you brought this upon yourself. ((laughs evilly))((thinking)) You do actually make a good ballerina.

Miroku- ((sigh))

As she walked back towards Kaede's hut, Inuyasha was seen talking with Brittney. When she neared the conversation ceased and they looked at her. Carolyn thought that they were discussing something that had to do with her so she didn't pry thinking that it would be rude. She knew that if she pried into someone else's conversation it would be against all the teaching her parents put in for her to be well-behaved. Brittney bid a few words of farewell to Inuyasha and ran over to Carolyn.

"Hey Carolyn." Brittney greeted, "why don't we go take a walk." Carolyn consented and they began their walk into the forest.

"Carolyn, how was your walk with Miroku?" Brittney hopefully inquired. She was wondering if time alone was what he needed to tell Carolyn how he felt.

"We didn't really talk that much." Carolyn answered crestfallen, her eyes downcast. Brittney was faintly disappointed in her answer, but was curious on what was said.

"So how's Kouga?" Carolyn inquired finally breaking the silence that had settled upon the two girls. She also wanted to change the subject away from Miroku and her conversation that had gone on, she just wanted to leave it untouched to control her own emotions.

"Oh it was a pretty bad injury, but he'll live." She said quietly. They walked on for a while not saying anything, each was reflecting in her own thoughts.

"Carolyn? What's up? Why are you so quiet?" Brittney asked with concern. Carolyn sighed and silently wished her friends wouldn't treat her like she was so fragile.

"Nothing, it's just that even though I love being here, I miss my family. I ran away because I was accused of breaking one of my brother's computer games, (a/n stupid reason but I couldn't think of anything else.) and I didn't." Carolyn sighed again. Brittney just listened and when she was sure that Carolyn had stopped talking she started talking about her own thoughts.

"Yeah, I miss my family too. When you didn't come to school everyone got worried and I decided to look for you. I was stopped by some strange lady named Madame Nonod and she said she could help my search. I put my hands on a strange crystal ball and I blacked out. When I woke up I was here and you were shaking me." Brittney explained.

"Yeah that happened to me too. I wonder if there's a way to get back, maybe we could try to use the same methods." Carolyn cried out happily. She wanted to see her family again, but she didn't want to leave her friends that she had made here.

"We should look in on it." Brittney cried in the same tone. She wanted to go home as much as Carolyn, but she didn't want to leave Inuyasha.

Carolyn seeming to read Brittney's mind said, "hey Brittney do you like Inuyasha?" She had a mischievous smirk on her face. Brittney looked shocked for Inuyasha was on her thoughts and she did have a crush on him.

"Who told you that?" Brittney cried out in alarm. She felt that Inuyasha belonged to Kagome. She didn't want to create a problem between everyone, even though she often felt the longings of being held by Inuyasha. She blushed under his praise, and dreamt of him in her spare time.

"No one I just guessed. By your expression I can tell that you do don't you?" Carolyn asked noticing the dark blush appearing on Brittney's face.

"Yeah is it obvious?" Brittney answered with a question of her own. She hoped that Kagome didn't notice this emotion in herself.

"No, are you going to tell him?" Carolyn inquired.

"No, anyways it's getting late. Maybe we should get back to the village." Brittney stated, remembering what she had been told of on the subject of demons by both Inuyasha and Kouga.

"Yeah," Carolyn said as she remembered the demon attack. So as they walked back to Kaede's village Carolyn heard a fearful whimpering noise.

"B-but Lord Sesshomaru I didn't mean to loose the trail."

"It's alright Jaken." Then she heard something large fall to the ground and a muffled ouch with many apologies. Carolyn and Brittney were about to make a run for the village when the trees behind them fell to the ground.

Susuka- Nooooooo what's going to happen to the heroines of the story?

Miroku- I shall comfort you until the next chapter comes. ((makes a motion to hug her))

Susuka-Oh no you stay away from me ((gets his hand off her shoulder)) I'm the one who makes the chapters so I do know what's going to happen next. So review my story everyone! This is Susuka signing out! Sorry it's so short! ((quickly runs away from rotten fruit tossed her way))Bye!
