Kogeme startled awake as Inuyasha walked into the hut they had spent the night in. "What are you doing, Inuyasha?" Kogeme questioned, still half asleep. "I woke up and I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to go for a walk," Inuyasha suspiously answered. Inuyasha stood there for a few seconds waiting to see if Kogeme was going to say anything else. When she didn't, Inuyasha walked over to a corner of the small hut and sat down. "What is all the noise?" Shippo sat up looking at Kogeme to Inuyasha and back to Kogeme. "It's just us talking," Kogeme told Shippo. As the three sat there, the sun started to peek over the hills and trees. "Well, we should get going," Inuyasha stood up and walked over to Miroku and lightly shook him. When he didn't get up, Inuyasha started shaking him hard. "Yes, I will be glad to have your children and to marry you," Miroku said in his sleep. "What!" Inuyasha yelled. "He's sleep talking," Sango told Inuyasha. "Good. Because I wouldn't want to marry a monk, even if I was a girl." Kogeme sat there and stared at Inuyasha and smiled. "What's the matter with you?" Inuyasha said in a grumpy tone. "Oh nothing." Kogeme sat there looking at Inuyasha ex with a wider smile on her face. "Fez." Inuyasha got up after saying his usual sentence when having nothing else to say. Sango walked over to Miroku and slightly tapped him on the shoulder. When he didn't do anything, Sango looked away only to get her bottom rubbed. "Traitorous monk!" Sango shouted as she gave Miroku his daily red hand mark on the cheek. On their walk through the village Kogeme suddenly said, "I sense the jewel shard, again." She started walking toward a very small and messed up hut; it looked like no had been there for quite a while. As they all walked up to the hut, Kogeme heard the sound of a little girl talking. She quickly walked in to find a little girl that looked about six years old; the little girl had been mumbling in her sleep. The girl jumped up and frighteningly asked, "Who are you?" "Don't worry, I am only here to help you.""Are you a demon?""No but there is a demon outside, and he is also only here to help. Are you here all by yourself?" The girl stood there and stared at Kogeme and waited a minute then answered, "Yes, but my older brother will be back someday." Kogeme looked at her in astonishment, "Where is he?" The little girl walked over to a little rag and unwrapped what looked like a jewel shard. "If this is what you are looking for, you can't have it!" The girl grasped the shard in her hand tightly and hugged it. 'That can't be a jewel shard. I don't sense that it's a shard,' Kogeme said to herself in her mind. "Don't worry, I am not going to steal it from you, but can I just have a look at it?" The girl slowly held out her hand only to let Kogeme see it. Again Kogeme started to think, 'This is defiantly not a shard; but then what is it?' The girl tugged her hand away and wrapped the shard back up in the rag and set it down. "What is your name?" asked Kogeme. "Koharu."
