----------------------------------- With Naraku -----------------------------------

Naruku was quite smug, ever since he planted one of his incarnations on that girl that's always with Inu Yasha. He made it so that it grow and fed on what that person fears most so her fears were slowly going and feeding his little pet. Then, when it has reached the maximum, it has taken up every little thing she fears inside it, becoming all of those things. He had become really annoyed with her every since she destroyed half of his body. She always seems to be able to help Inu Yasha or someone destroy his plans. You could put it that her power has grown really strong and he was a bit fearful of her. But he would never say so, even if that girl meant his doom. Then he would simply kill her by all means necessary, but make it look like he didn't mean too, so that they wouldn't try to guard her.

But now there seemed to be a problem, for he couldn't sense his lovely little creation. He should be able to sense it at all times, but it seemed to just now elude him to where its location is. Calling for Kanna, he told her to show him where she and his creation were.

After awhile, the mirror was blank, Kanna then spoke in that dreadfully unfeeling tone, "it appears that the girl is beyond our sight."

Fury welled up in Naruku, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'BEYOND OUR SIGHT?'" he shrieked.

------------------------------ Inuyasha and the group ------------------------------

The group seemed so lonely; they were all in slow spirits waiting for Kagome to return. As usual, Shippo started to annoy Inuyasha. After being poked for the millionth time, Inuyasha finally got up.

"WOULD YOU STOP ALREADY!!!!!" Inuyasha yelled.

"No," Shippo pouted, "you haven't gotten Kagome yet and I miss her." Breaking down in tears. "It's your fault she hasn't come back yet," he managed between the tears.

"Shippo does have a point, you seem to be always arrogating Lady Kagome." Mirkou said. Sango nodded in agreement.

Inuyasha, then spoke obviously frustrated, "fine, I'll get her."

Shippou smiled and cheered, "Yay!"

With that said, Inuyasha left to go retrieve Kagome.

------------------------------------ at the well ------------------------------------

Inuyasha caught a little piece of paper, it seemed to be a note. Sniffing it, he realized that it had Kagome's sent on it. He started to read it.

Dear friends,
Sorry I have blocked the well I have to go somewhere far, far away due to certain problems I have in my era. I left you all but one shikon shard. I felt if I keep one I will always remember you so do not worry.
Always, Kagome
Shocked, was all that could be said about how Inuyasha was feeling right now. She had left him. He then started on his way back to tell the poor news to the rest of the group with a heavy heart.

As someone watched this smugly, it thought, maybe this will work after all.

-------------------------------- With Kagome ---------------------------------

After running for the whole night, Kagome finally reached a town still full of fear. She just knew that he would come after her no matter what. She had shielded the well not to stop her friends from getting to her, but to stop it from getting them as long as it was in her era, they were safe. But she didn't know if he could go through the well or not. She had seen the shadow kill her family, all of them gone. The next day, on the news, she found out her friends had been killed. Yura and the rest. He had even managed to kill Hojo too. She realized that he was after her loved ones, anyone she cared about would die because of her, and that what she feared most. She barely had enough cash for the night at a hotel.
