Chapter Six: Out In The Woods

The next day,the gang headed out into the village again. Nothing had really changed since yesterday.

''What do we do now?'' Asked Yumi.

''I think we should look for Seth.'' Sango told her.

''Yes.'' Kagome said. That's what they set out to do.

The gang had made it to the outskirts of the town,where Ami and Yumi met Shippo the day before. (There was a forest at the edge,remember?) They decided to look for clues in the forest.

''Okay everyone.'' Kagome said. ''We'll need to spilt up again. There's three paths in this forest. Inuyasha,Shippo,and I are taking this path. Sango and Miroku,you take that path. Ami and Yumi,you take the third one. We'll all meet up at this tree later.''

The three groups headed off into the woods.


Ami and Yumi were walking up the path. They hadn't found any clues. They reached a dead end.

''Oh great...'' Yumi groaned. ''Let's get back to that tree.''

''No,wait!'' Ami said. ''Let's take a break from this. I'm sick of walking around.''

The two of them sat under a huge rock and relaxed.

Shff...shff...shff...

Yumi heard something and stood up. It sounded like footsteps in the grass.

Shff...shff...shff...

She looked all around. Where was that sound coming from?

Shff...shff...shff...

It was getting louder. She looked and saw a shadowy figure in the bushes. It was smaller than Inuyasha,but bigger than Shippo. Yumi was freaked out.

''Ami...Quick! We gotta get out of here NOW!'' She ran off. Ami followed her.

''We've got to get back to that tree! Hurry!''

Ami was running so fast,she outran Yumi.

''We have to get back to Kagome and the oth...Aaaah!'' Yumi's sentence was suddenly cut off. Terrified,Ami ran even faster,not looking back.


Ami had made it back to the tree. Inuyasha and the others wern't there...and neither was Yumi.

''Yumi?''

No reply.

''Yumi! Yumi where are you! Yuuuuuummmmiiiiiii!''

She went back up the path.
