Chapter Seven: Looking For Yumi
''Yuuummmii!'' Ami called out as she ran through the woods. She looked behind every tree,rock and bush she saw. But there was no sign of her friend anywhere. Ami was worried sick.
''Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiii!'' Still no sign of her.
Ami had reached the dead end where she and Yumi were relaxing eairlier. Yumi wasn't there either.
''YUMI!'' She sat down on a tree stump and started to cry.
Ami had been sitting on the stump for a little while when she heard a rustle in the bushes.
Could it be? She thought. She stood up.
A little froglike demon carrying a huge staff jumped out.
''Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru!'' The creature called out as he ran. Curious,Ami followed him.
The little demon ran up to a dog demon with a big fur on his shoulder. Ami didn't want to be seen,so she hid behind a rock.
''Lord Sesshomaru! I bring terrible news!'' The demon shouted.
''What is it,Jaken?'' Sesshomaru,the dog demon,asked him.
''Seth is on the loose again! I saw him in the woods! I saw someone running from him,and then I saw him grab that person and run off! This is awful! What if he gets Rin next?'' Jaken could hardly get a hold of himself.
''Slow down,Jaken.'' Sesshomaru told him,annoyed.
Ami had heard enough. She headed back to the tree.
Ami made it back to the tree. Inuyasha and the others were waiting for her.
''What took you so long?'' Inuyasha asked Ami.
Ami looked up at Inuyasha. ''I've...I've...''
''What?''
''I've lost my best friend!'' She started to cry again. Kagome hugged her.
''Shhh...calm down...what exactly happened,anyway?''
''Yumi heard something and told me to run back to the tree. When I got here she was gone! I looked all over the woods but I couldn't find her!''
''It's okay...''
Inuyasha had no idea what to say. He simply walked up to Kagome.
''What is it Inuyasha?'' Kagome asked.
''Ummmmmm...Shippo told me that Naraku recruited that Seth guy.'' Inuyasha told her.
''Well...in that case Seth is probably at Naraku's castle.''
''Then should we head there?'' Miroku asked.
''I guess.''
They all left the woods. Ami looked back tearfully,then walked off with the others.
