Chapter 4: Search for Kagome

Inuyasha jumped up cursing.

"We have to find her," he said while pacing around the room. "But the question is, how?"

"Hey, Inuyasha?" Sango said timidly.

"What?" Inuyasha snapped.

"Well you said you were a half demon. I was wondering if you could follow her scent or Naraku's or something."

"That's a good idea, only problem is that I can't seem to smell him. It seems as if he just disappeared off the face of the earth."

Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku sat on Kagome's bed trying to find a way to rescue her. There seemed to be no hope left, when suddenly Miroku jumped up.

"I have it!" Miroku exclaimed. He started pacing around the room muttering to himself. He looked really excited and happy.

"Well tell us what it is," Sango asked nicely while in the background Inuyasha looked ready to murder him.

"Well, in case you didn't notice, Kagome is a miko, an untrained one, but still a miko. She has an aura surrounding her that I'm sure Inuyasha could find, if he knew what to look for."

"An aura?" Inuyasha said, looking confused.

"Oh, I get it," Sango said, looking relieved. "I am so glad that you thought of it Miroku," she exclaimed giving him a hug. She felt an all to familiar hand on her butt and jumped back.

"HENTI," she screamed giving him a slap across the face (A/N did I spell that right?) Miroku fell to the ground, groaning.

"We have no time to lose, let's go," Inuyasha said as he picked up Miroku, slung him over his shoulder, and ran off.

"Hey, wait for me Inuyasha!" Sango yelled running after him. Inuyasha, annoyed at the delay, stopped and slung her over his shoulder as well. He started running again.

"Where are we going?" Miroku asked groggily.

"My house. I need you to teach me how to see auras and how to track them and stuff," Inuyasha said. After a few minutes a large mansion came into view. He slowed down and put the two human's on the ground. Oblivious to their admiration of his house he started up the walk towards the house.

"You live here?" Sango said.

"Yea, why?"

"It's so…so…big," Miroku said with awe.

"Well, my father, who died, split this house between me and my half-brother. So the right half is mine and the left is my brother's, hence the two doors," Inuyasha said impatiently.

As soon as he said it Sango saw the two front doors. The house looked rather odd with two large doors right next to each other. She followed Inuyasha, dragging Miroku behind her.

"By the way Miroku, how did you know about the auras?" Inuyasha asked as they entered the house.

"Well, when I was younger my father sent me to train as a monk. He said that way I could stay out of trouble. But, alas, he died about five years later, so I had to come home."

"A monk eh?" Inuyasha said smirking. "Then why do you always grope Sango?"

"Uh, because….because-" Miroku was saved from answering when a door opened.

"Can you please keep it down?" a cold, emotionless voice asked. Looking up from the floor Miroku saw a tall man with long silver hair and amber eyes, much like Inuyasha's. He wore white robes, and had a little fluffy thing on his right shoulder. He repeated his question, this time sounding annoyed.

"Yea, sure Fluffy, whatever you say," Inuyasha said absentmindedly while waving his hand in the man's general direction and walked up the stairs. Miroku and Sango followed him.

"Fluffy?" Sango asked trying to suppress a laugh.

"Well, yea, you did see the fluffy thing on his arm right?" Sango and Miroku nodded. "There ya go."

By that time they were at a door. Inuyasha told them that this was his training room. He opened the door and revealed a large room with every kind of weapon imaginable inside.

"Ok monk, you're gonna show me how to see Kagome's aura and how to follow it," Inuyasha demanded.

"Yup," Miroku agreed, a little scared of what would happen if he didn't.

2 Hours Later

"I finally got it!" Inuyasha said. "Let's go and find Kagome."

Inuyasha jumped out the window with Miroku and Sango on his shoulders. When he got to the ground he let them go. Just then Kikyo walked by his house. She was wearing slutty clothes and a lot of make up.

"Hey Inuyasha, what are you doing?" she asked batting her eyelashes.

"Uh, nothing Kikyo, I'm busy. Talk to you later," he said walking quickly in the opposite direction of her. Miroku and Sango followed him, waving goodbye to Kikyo as they passed.

Inuyasha turned around and grabbed the two humans. He jumped from treetop to treetop, seeming to follow a line. They traveled like this for a long time. After about an hour Inuyasha started to slow down, and look harder for the residue her aura left behind.

"Inuyasha? What's wrong?" Miroku asked, starting to worry.

"I can't find her aura anymore. It disappears around this spot."

"Well, lets look around then. Maybe there is a secret place or something inside one of these trees," Sango suggested.

The trio searched for what seemed like hours, but in reality it was only about 15 minutes before Miroku found a hole in the trunk of a tree. He stuck his finger in it (A/N I know it's a really stupid thing to do, but hey its Miroku remember?) and it got stuck. When he tried to pull it back out he accidentally opened something.

"Hey guys, I think I broke the tree," Miroku said.

"Keh, how do you break a tree Miroku?" Inuyasha said.

Sango looked at the opening in the tree and gasped.

"Guys, its Kagome. Look, she's inside the tree, asleep, I think."

Inuyasha picked her up tenderly and started walking towards her house. After a while he started to run, totally forgetting about Miroku and Sango. He ran towards Kagome's house, which was very close to where they were. When he got there he noticed that there was no one home, but there was a note on the door.

Hey Sis,
I'm going to spend the night at Tyler's, just wanted to let you know so you didn't freak out. I'll be home tomarrow, I don't know when though.
Love Souta

Inuyasha took the note, and Kagome, inside. He set her down on her bed when she woke up.

"Who are you?" she asked, sounding confused. "What are you doing in my house?"
