Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha. I'm extremely sorry for the HUGE wait.
School and life in general has been hard on me and I understand if you guys
don't want to read at all. Again, I'm REALLY TERRIBLY sorry. I busted my
leg and everything. I haven't been able to do much of anything.

*Inu Yasha*
Inu Yasha walked through the moonlit field in search for a place to rest. He cradled Kagome gently in his arms as he walked, dew beginning to settle on the ground making his feet wrinkle like prunes. He kept walking despite the fact that he hadn't slept a wink since the incident and didn't want to stop.
Kagome continued to mumble in her sleep, having unpleasant dreams and shouting at times. Inu Yasha would pacify her by rubbing her ears soothingly and she would stop and purr slightly until he stopped.
The sun began to rise slowly over the mountain range that surrounded them, painting red, orange and brilliant yellow across the landscape and filtering through the forest leaves. The warm sunrays hit the couple and made Inu Yasha sigh in happiness for the first time in what seemed to be forever.
Inu Yasha made it to the base of a very steep cliff and looked up to the top. The sun peeked its face over the summit and his eyes narrowed as the beams hit his golden eyes, making them flash with intensity. He looked down at the slumbering hanyou in his arms and figured it wouldn't matter where they went, as long as she was okay.
In the middle of the sheer cliff was a small cave with several ledges leading up to it. He got ready for the jump when he remembered that Kagome was still with him. He decided to make it one huge leap, two at the most. His foot twisted into the ground, stirring up dust as he readied for the vault.
He ground his teeth as he lifted off, using as much strength as he could muster. He nearly fell off the outcrop when he landed, but made himself steady quickly. The next ridge was only a little bit away and he jumped it with ease. When he landed, he nearly fell over with Kagome in hand from his fatigue.
He looked at the woman in his arms and sat down with her in his lap. Slowly, he took off his fire rat haori and placed it over her shoulders. She sighed contently and turned over, nuzzling his body. He sighed and leaned against the wall of the cave, falling into a deep sleep. Unfortunately for them, Inu Yasha didn't care to look into the bowels of the cave for anything or anyone.
***Ryoko***
Kouga and Sango were having starring contests, each not flinching for fear the other was going to attack. Ryoko was uneasily sitting in the corner watching the two, waiting to break up any fights that might erupt within the small dwelling.
After a while of silence, a small and petite yawn was heard as Shippou awoke. He sat up, rubbing his head when he saw the two glaring at each other. His tail puffed out and he jumped into Ryoko's arms, startling her.
"Yikes! What's there problem?" he said clinging tightly to Ryoko's arm.
"Kagome," she said simply.
"What about Kagome?" Shippou asked innocently.
"None of your beeswax, half-pint," Kouga growled, never taking his eyes off of Sango. A small grunt of pain was heard from down the hall, signaling that Miroku was awake. Ryoko was getting so frustrated, she stood up from her place on the end of Sango's couch and stood between the two rivals.
"Stop it already!" she shouted, clenching her fists, her tail swishing back and forth in anger. "You two are pathetic!"
"She started it!" Kouga growled, moving his head back and forth trying to see Sango again.
"That's bull crap, Kouga!" Sango sneered and moved her head like the prince did to see the wolf.
"Shut up the lot of you!" Ryoko bellowed. Her tail was beginning to frizz and puff out in her frustration. Her hands were balled so tightly that her claws were digging into her palms and her teeth were being ground into powder. Kouga and Sango looked up at her with a mix of intimidation and anger. Shippo was so frightened that the circulation of the arm he was clinging to made Ryoko's hands turn purple.
Kouga's astonished look soon turned to anger. "Stay out of this, commoner!"
"Screw off, pinhead!" she barked back.
"This is between me and Kouga so step down!" Sango interrupted the two. Shippou dropped off of Ryoko's blood-stricken arm and plopped on the ground between her and Kouga.
"What she said!" the prince shouted.
"Go fuck yourself!" she shouted back.
"Stop that language in front of Shippou!" Sango shouted.
"Oh boohoo!" Ryoko snarled.
"She's right!" Kouga defended.
"Thank you," the young demon slayer said simply.
"Quite welcome," the prince replied.
"Oh piss off!" Ryoko began. "Stop not fighting with each other to fight with me!"
"Stop yelling at Sango, for yelling at you, for yelling at me!" Kouga shouted.
"Stop yelling at me, for yelling at Sango, for yelling at you!" Ryoko roared.
"Stop yelling at Kouga, for yelling at you, for yelling at me, for yelling at you!" Sango retorted violently. From out of nowhere, small lungs blew up and deafened them all.
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Shippou shouted at the top of his voice. Everyone was blown away and they stared at the young kitsune who was out of breath and panting. His face was bright red and he glared at everyone. "You guys are extremely annoying and aren't even aware of the fact that Mirokuisdyingfromaheadinjuryandisprobablybeingkilledwithallthisyellingsostop it NOW!" he screeched in one fast word. He continued panting and rubbed his head. Everyone continued staring at him in disbelief.
"That doesn't matter anymore, Shippou," Miroku said weakly from a corner in the room. He had been unnoticed until just then.
"Miroku! I'm so sorry!" Sango said and looked down in a makeshift bow, though she was lying.
"It's fine. Just listen to my theory on this," he began. They all looked at him attentively and he started. "If the dog runs, the dog follows, a well known fact; only if the first dog wishes it, they will both run back." They all looked at him in bewilderment.
"Nice insight, Houshi-kun," Sango said still looking at him strangely.
"So you're saying... Kagome won't come back without Inu Yasha?" Kouga asked innocently.
"That's what I'm saying," Miroku answered.
"Then we need to get Inu Yasha back!" Shippou squealed to the point of nearly crying. Sango was about the say something when a loud shriek and an equally loud yelp was heard and echoed throughout the cliffside.
