Chapter Nine

To see you again...

Kagome was walking down the street holding the sword out like an water finder, attracting some attention. She had also told her family to be on the look out for him. Kagome had been looking for almost three days now. Nothing. She found no trace of him. It was three in the afternoon, Kagome saw her friends walking down the street, heading her way. "Oh no...I don't have time..." Kagome tried to duck behind a newspaper bin.

"Kagome!" She heard her friend yell. She sighed and stood up.

"Hi guys." She said halfheartly. Her frineds gathered around her.

"Kagome did you hear?" Her friends all said in unisun. Kagome shook her head.

"Heard what?" She asked.

"You know that new girl you ran into before? Well we heard she's shacking up with some guy!" Her friends all yelled. Kagome couldn't be anymore uninterested.

"Oh really...? Listen you guys...I really have to go..." Kagome said. Her friends grabbed her shoulder.

"Wait! That's not the important part! The guy she's living with...matches the crazy guy your seeing!" This caught her attention, and at this point, Kagome didn't care if it was a lie or not. She was just happy to have any lead on Inuyasha. She grabbed one of her friends by the shoulder's.

"Whats her address?" Kagome asked.

Meanwhile...

Mia was sitting on the couch with Inuyasha watching T.V., Seira was in the kitchen cooking dinner.

"Seira! I'll cook dinner. You don't have to do this." Mia yelled into the kitchen, forgetting that Inuyasha's ears were super sensitive to sound. Inuyasha glared at her. Mia laughed nervously and gave him a little kiss on the cheek. Inuyasha smiled and forgot all about it. Seira was watching them from the kitchen.

"It's nothing! I want to cook you dinner. You know like a getting out of the hospital thing." Seira went back to the stove and continued making dinner.

Ding dong

Mia and Inuyasha looked at eachother. Mia was worried that it might be yagami. She got up slowly and answered the door.

"Yes...?" Mia said as she opened the door. She saw Kagome standing at the front door practically breathless. Her face was beat red and she was breathing heavily. "Oh my gosh! Are you okay? Did you run here?" Kagome nodded breathlisly. Mia smiled.

"Come on in Kagome...you must be thirsty. What brings you here?" asked Mia. Kagome didn't move. She caught her breath and spoke up.

"Does a boy named Inuyasha live here?" Kagome asked a little to loud. Seira and Inuyasha looked over at the door. Mia was taken back by this but as soon as she processed what Kagome had just said she smiled and garbbed Kagome's hand.

"You know Inuyasha? That's wonderful! Come in! He's right in here! INUYASHA! COME HERE NOW!" Mia spoke in a frenzy and dragged Kagome inside. The tetsigua vibrated and shook vilantly. Kagome smiled widley. He has to be here!

Inuyasha stood up from his seat as soon as Mia came in with this stranger. Seira came out of the kitchen, they all gathered around the two of them. Kagome saw Inuyasha, she couldn't believe it...it had been so long. Without thinking she leaped from where she stood and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha. He gasped and looked at Mia. Kagome was so happy to see him.

"Inuyasha I'm so glad I found you!" Inuyasha pushed her off.

"Who are you...?" Inuyasha asked coldly. Kagome knew he would say that, she had told herself many times that when she found him, he wouldn't know who she was. Even so, those words hurt. She wanted to cry, but she held firm and smiled instead.

"Inuyasha...my name is Kagome, I've been looking for you for a long time..." Kagome said happily. Mia and the other's stared at her in confusion. Mia looked at Inuyasha, Inuyasha looked at Seira, Seira jumped. "Don't look at me! I don't know nothing!" Kagome couldn't take her eye's off Inuyasha, she couldn't believe she had found him. Mia spoke up first.

"So Kagome...you know all about Inuyasha? His past...his present?" asked Mia. Kagome nodded. Inuyasha flinched. Mia smiled. "Great! Tell us all about it! I want to know! Don't you Inuyasha? Aren't you happy?" Inuyasha didn't say anything.

"...No..." Inuyasha said softly. The girls didn't hear him, Mia leaned in closer to him. "What did you say?"

"No! I don't want to know!" Inuyasha yelled. Mia and Kagome looked at Inuyasha.

"But-Inuaysha! What are you saying? We've been waiting so long for anyone who-" Inuyasha cut her off.

"I don't care about my memorys!" Kagome could feel the tears begin again.

"Inuyasha...You might feel that way now...but if you'll just give me a chance to explain I can-" Inuyasha turned his back to her and walked into mia's room. He didn't want to hear anymore. The tears flowed freely now. Kagome couldn't stand to see Inuyasha walk away from her now. Mia walked over to Kagome.

"Kagome...please don't cry, this is probably just really rough for him...for both of you right now. um...if you want, you can stay the night...so you could have some time to talk to Inuyasha...or come back tomorow if you want...okay? I 'll go have a talk with Inuyasha, you stay right here. Seira could you get her some tea?" Seira nodded and went to the kitchen. Mia walked into her room and shut the door behind her.

"Inuyasha...? What's the matter?" Mia placed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. Inuyasha didn't turn around, he stayed with his back to her. Mia's eye's shifted to the floor. "You don't want to talk to me?" Inuyasha shifted slightly. Mia's voice became small and sad. "Then...will you litsen...?" Inuyasha nodded but didn't turn around. Mia sat down at the bed with a heavy sigh.

"Okay...Inuyasha...I'm not sure how you feel about suddenly meeting someone from your past. I'm sure it must be confusing in many differant ways...I mean...I can only imagine how you feel...but...no matter how you may feel about it. You have to hear this girl out...you have to know who you really are. If you don't go out there and listen, Inuyasha, you'll regret it. You know you will...maybe not now...but pretty soon...and then...you wont be happy. I want you to be happy. I know you have questions...so go...go get some answers..." Mia felt Inuyasha sit next to her on the bed. He grabbed her waist and pulled her into an embrace. He held her tightley and Mia smiled.

"Are you sure? What if we find out something...we're not prepared for...?" Inuyasha realeased her. "I don't want to hear a reason to leave you"
Mia smiled bravely and kissed him breifly.

"No regrets...no matter what may happen...isn't that what we agreed?" said Mia. Inuyasha faked a smile back and they stood up together. "Are you ready Inuyasha?" Inuyasha nodded. He and Mia left the room to see Kagome and Seira waiting for them on the couch. Kagome smiled happily and seira looked concerened. Mia Smiled at Kagome. "Okay Kagome...Tell us everything."

Kagome began, first she told them about how she met Inuyasha, in the fuedal era. She continued with explaining about the horrible tragedy of Naraku and Kikyou, and Himself. The arrow that pinned him and when she pulled it off. She explained about the reseracted Kikyou, Onigumo, and Keade. Inuyasha could see flash's of Images in his head as she explained everything to him. Seira's mouth was wide open, and Mia simply sat there in silence. Kagome continued to explainthe jewel shards and Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kirra. She told him about the tetsigua, the tensegiua, and the swordsmith who made them. His mother, his father, and his brother. When Kagome finished telling him all she knew, hours had past.

Inuyasha sat there dumbfounded. He had expected some unexpected things, but this was insane. Everything was so complicated. He looked over at Mia. She was simply sitting there, as if trying to make sense of it all, like it was one big puzzle. Inuyasha could remember bits and pieces now, but everything was still more or less hazy. The only things that were clear, were nameless faces. Kagome wanted Inuyasha to come back with her, she just wasn't sure when to ask him.

Seira was the frist to break the silence. "Oh-My-GOD! I mean- geez..." Kagome stood up from her seat and held out the tetsigua to Inuyasha. He looked at it.

"Inuyasha. This is the Tetsigua, your sword." Inuyasha took the sword, it pulsed, the wave peirced his head, images flowed at lightneing speed, his memories were pouring in fast, faster then he could keep up. After severel minutes, Inuyasha snapped back.

"I...Some things are still really fuzzy...but..." said Inuyasha. Everyone jumped up. Kagome smiled and Seira ran up to the two of them. Mia stepped back from the group. She was silent as she watched Kagome tell Inuyasha how happy she was. Mia's face was almost emotionless for a moment, until she felt a tear streak her cheek. Mia could no longer hear what the others were saying, she could only hear her own confusing thoughts. He's leaving! I'm happy for him but I don't want you to leave me Inuyasha, Please dont leave! This is how it should be...?

Mia tried to keep her thoughts straight, but the pain she felt was unbearable, she didn't want him to leave her, she loved him. She knew he had to go, she knew this would happen. She couldn't stand it. Her chest began to ache and the wound Inuyasha had given her throbed with every deep breath. She felt her wound rip, her stitches were coming loose do the pressure she had placed on herself. She saw seira look back at her. It was all she could do not to faint from the pain of her wound.

Seira ran over to her. "Mia. Your bleeding!" Mia looked down at her chest, she saw blood seeping through her cloths. Mia turned around quickly and ran into the kitchen to wipe it up. Seira followed. Inuyasha and Kagome didn't even notice at the moment. Mia hurridley grabbed a rag and placed it over her wound to catch the blood. Seira grabbed some bandages and helped Mia re-wrap her wound.

"Mia...we need to take you back to the hospital..."

"No! Not tonight. Tommorow. I don't want Inuyasha to worry."

"But-" Seira looked up at her friend. Mia's eye's pleaded with to complie. Seira sighed and nodded in response. Mia smiled weakly and tied her bandage herself. Seira looked into the living room and watched Inuyasha talk to kagome.

"I just...Inuyasha is really happy right now...if he knew that I had to go to the hospital...he might feel guilty...about leaving." Seira jumped.

"Inuyasha actually told you he was leaving? Why would he-" Mia put her hand in front of Seira.

"He didn't tell me he would...but didn't you hear that story? Everything about Naraku...and Kikyou. He has to go back...he can't stay here." Mia walked back into the room after she was sure the blood was unnoticeable. As soon as she entered the room she heard Kagome. "Come Inuyasha! We should get back! Everyone will be so happy!" Mia and Inuyasha jumped. He looked back to see Mia. She noticed he was watching her. She forced a smile and walked up to them.

"Isn't this great Inuyasha? It looks like you can go see your friends to!" Mia said half heartedly. Inuyasha didn't look away from her. Mia faught back her tears. "I bet you can't wait to go home!"

"Mia..." Inuyasha began.

"Oh! But I don't think you can go back in those cloths...wait here!" Mia ran into her room and ran out a few seconds later. "Here..." Mia held out Inuyashas red robe in front of him. "I washed it for you...blood stains are stubborn though so..." Inuyasha looked down at the floor. He knew he had to go back, if only things weren't so compliated. "Thank you..." said Inuyasha softly. Kagome looked over. Mia smiled. "Now go get changed. Me and seira will come to the shrine to see you off!" Kagome smiled and Seira came out of the kitchen. "We will? But Mia-" She saw the look on Mia's face. "Yeah...we will..." Inuyasha didn't saw anything as he walked into the bathroom. Kagome turned to Mia.

"Thank you very much for looking after Inuyasha. If he caused you any trouble..."

"Oh no! It was my pleasure. I'm just glad that Inuyasha can be happy now." Seira looked at the two of them. Why is it always you Mia? Why can't you ever just be happy?

At Higurashi Shrine.

They were all in a small dark room standing around the bone eaters well. Kagome was thinking to herself about the others and how happy they would be to have Inuyasha back. Inuyasha had been silent the entire trip down. He didn't know what to do. He still didn't remember everything, all he knew was that he couldn't stay here now. He looked at Mia who was standing across from him. Seira was staring down the well. "Gosh...are you sure you have to jump down there? You could break a leg!" Kagome smiled.

"It's complicated...are you ready Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked at Mia. She looked up at him. "..." Inuyasha had to go, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to. Everything Kagome had told him, all it was to him right now was just a story, because he couldn't exactly remember. Mia smiled.

"You should hurry Inuyasha. Your friends are waiting." Mia was trying her best to not be selfish. Thats all she could do for him right now. She had to make this as guiltless and easy for him as possible. Inuyasha walked over to her. Kagome sat on the edge of the well.

"Come on Inuyasha. Thank you for everything Mia." Kagome was so happy that she couldn't see how hard this was for Inuyasha and Mia. Inuyasha took Mia's hand.

"Come with me." Said Inuyasha. the three girls jumped.

"What?" the three girls yelled together.

"Come with me Mia..."

Kagome was starting to catch on. She was begining to see what had been going on while Inuyasha was missing, and she didn't like it.

"I'm not sure it will work...so far...you and I are the only ones who can go through the well." Mia looked at Kagome. She knew why she didn't want her to go.

"You can try." Inuyasha said. Mia looked down the well and then back at Inuyasha. She knew that Kagome didn't want her to, and she knew it would just hurt her and Inuyasha more if she goes and then leave soon, but all she could think about was how she could have one more day with Inuyasha.

"Okay!" Mia said happily. Inuyasha smiled. Seira gasped, and Kagome looked down the well. "Well then we should go now." Kagome said softly as she jumped into the well. Inuyasha grabbed Mia by the waist and jumped down the well after Kagome.

"Wait Mia!" Seira yelled after them. A bright light shined and as soon as it dimed, seira could see that there was nothing at the bottom. "Oh no..."

Inside the well, surrounded by the shining blue light, Mia could feel herself geting ill. It felt as though she was foating in jello. She turned to see if Inuyasha felt the same way, but mia couldn't see anything. Her right arm burned. She could see a pink light coming closer to her. It shot into her, nearly knocking the wind out of her. As soon as she could breath again, the well had returned to normal, but it was differant this time. Vines now surrounded the inside and when she looked up there was no ceiling, it was now a blue sky outside. Inuyasha was still holding on to her. They were both looking around in awe. Kagome smiled happily and began climbing out.

"Come on Inuyasha! Miroku and the others are waiting!"

Inuyasha jumped out with mia hanging on tight. Kagome came out after them. Miroku, Sango, and Shippou stood in disbelief. Inuyasha was back. Kagome ran up to them.

"Everyone! I found him!" Kagome said happily. The others gathered around Inuyasha excitedly.

"Inuyasha?" said Sango

"It's really you?" Shippou asked

"Welcome back Inuyasha!" Miroku said happily. Mia and Inuyasha stood where she was, stareing at them all. Mia decided to speak up.

"Um...Hi...I'm Mia Hikaru...nice to meet you all." Mia took a bow and looked at Inuyasha. "Aren't you even going to say hi?" Mia whispered to him. Inuyasha looked at them weirdly. "Hi..." the others then looked at Mia and then back at Inuyasha. Miroku grinned.

"I see you've been busy whi- gah!" Sango smacked him over the head before he could finish. Sango looked at her. Mia stepped up to him.

"You must be Miroku. Are you really an old time monk? Thats so cool!" Mia didn't leave Inuyasha's side. Miroku walked up to her and held her hands close to him.

"Miss...would you do me the honor of bareing my child?" Sango wahped him over the head again, Inuyasha growled at Miroku and he backed up. Mia started laughing.

"Ha! Ha! Inuyasha...I like your friends! They are so funny!" Miroku slumped in defeat. "Hey where's that Shippou dude I heard about?" Shippou came from behind Kagome. Mia Kneeled down to his level and spopke sweetly. "Hello. Nice to meet you." Shippou waved back, he didn't seem to like her much. Mia felt something burn in her arm again. She went back next to Inuyasha. Everyone watched as they whispered to eachother. She showed Inuyasha her arm, he looked at it but saw nothing wrong. Mia shrugged. "Hmm...guess maybe a bug bit me...or something..." Kagome was uncomfortable with Mia and Inuyasha being so friendly, but for now she was just glad to have Inuyasha back. His ears perked.

"I hear something, and I don't like the smell..." They all looked at the whirlwhind coming towards them. Mia covered her eyes from the dirt it brought up. Inuyasha covered Mia as the smoked cleared. They all looked up to see a wolf demon. Kouga was standing next to Kagome. "Who are you?" Mia asked. Kouga ignored her and turned to Inuyasha in disgust.

"I thought I sniffed a mutt. I thought you had turn tail and ran mutt face." Kouga said smugly. Inuyasha honestly didn't know how to respond to that. He had just met this guy and he wsa already messing with him. He was angry all the same though.

"Who the hell do you-" Inuyasha stopped but Mia finished his sentence.

"Think you are buddy? How dare you talk to him like that! Who the hell are you anyway?" Mia asked in anger. Kouga turned his attention to her at last.

"Who's this? You smell like the mutt. Did you finnally relize you couldn't compete with me and leave Kagome? Not like I blame you..." Mia and Inuyasha were burning with fury at this point.

"What the HELL is your problem?" Inuyasha yelled.

"Where do you get off? Say that again and...wait...I know who you are! Your that wolf dude Kagome was talking about...um...K...Kouga! I heard all about your fights with Inuyasha and how you could never win." Kouga didn't like this girl already.

"Are you say'n I could lose to that mutt?" Kouga and Mia's faces were now about 3 inches apart yelling at eachother.

"Your no match for him and you know it!"

"You might want to watch what you say human before I ha-" Inuyasha pulled Mia away from him and stared at Kouga. "Humph. Always playing the hero, although it's not under you to let a human girl fight your battles for you..." Inuyasha moved in front of her.

"Listen you mangy wolf...I don't care what you say...but if you lay one finger on her I'll kill you." Inuyasha growled coldly. Kagome jumped. Miroku and the others stood there in silence. Kouga laughed smugly.

"Go ahead and try mutt! With my strength and these jewel shards shoved into my legs, you wont lay a finger on me!"

"Yeah? Well why don't you take another one and shove it up your ass!" Mia yelled. Kagome stood between the two of them.

"Kouga...please I have to ask you to leave. Inuyasha doesn't need this right now. Please." Kouga looked at Kagome and the fight left him.

"I'm not gonna sit here and argue with a human. See you later Kagome. Hey mutt! You'd better not lay one finger on her while I'm gone. Later!" With that said Kouga was gone in a cloud of smoke. Mia huffed.

"What was his problem? I can't stand people like him...who think they are so much better then everyone else! Gosh..." Mia looked back at Inuyasha. He was holding his head in pain. "Oh no! Not again...Inuyasha!" Mia caught him before he hit the ground. Kagome and the others ran to his side.

"Inuyasha! Inu-" He couldn't hear anything more. Everything went black.

Inuyasha woke up in an all black room. He stood up and saw a light in the distance. He walked towards it in a daze. As he got closer he saw it was a woman, she was sitting alone in the middle of the room.

"Mia...?" He touched her shoulder and the woman turned around. He stepped back. She looked like Mia, but was differant in some way.

"Why haven't you found me Inuyasha...? Can't you see me?" the girl was crying now. Inuyasha backed up, confused. Another girl appeared behind him, but she had no light around her.

"Inuyasha? whats wrong?" He looked behind him and saw Mia.

"Mia! Where am I? Who is that girl? " Inuyasha asked. Mia smiled.

"What do you mean? Don't you want to be here with me anymore?"

"What? What do you mean here?"

"If you leave this place...you wont be with me anymore...Inuyasha..." Mia was fadeing away slowly. Inuyasha grabbed her shoulders.

"Mia! What's going on? Where are you going?" He held her tighter with every second she got dimmer. She frowned.

"Don't you see me...? I'm not going anywhere...you are..." Mia said softly.

"What? I don't understand! I'm not going anywhere!"

"Stay here Inuyasha...you don't want to leave me do you...?" Mia dissappeared completly now. Inuyasha fell to the ground not having anything to balance anymore.

"What the hell...?" Inuyasha looked over at the girl in light.

"When will you find me...? I"m scared here...in the dark. Please...I'm all alone here...find me..." this girl dissapeared as well now. Inuyasha heard voices in the distance, he knew who they were.

Don't worry...this has happened before...he'll be fine Kagome...

But...

mia said not to worry so don't...Inuyasha is strong. You know that. Right sango?

Miroku's right. Inuyasha is to stubborn to let something like this beat him.

Inuyasha's eyes shot open and he sat up at once. Mia and the other's turned and hovered over him happily.

"Gosh, you scared us..." Mia said happily. Kagome sighed heavily.

"I'm glad...Inuyasha." He looked around the room, he was no longer outside, but in some old wooden room.

"Where am I?" Inuyasha stood up and looked around. Kagome stared at Inuyasha hard, something was wrong.

"Your in Keade's house...we didn't know what else to do." She handed Inuyasha a peice of friut. "Here...you need some food..." Inuyasha took the food but said nothing, he ripped it in half and handed a piece to Mia. She took it and they began eating. The others looked at Kagome who was hideing her face. She was obvisouly jealous of Mia and Inuyasha, she had always wanted Inuyasha to have eyes for her and her alone. Since Inuyasha had forgotten about Kikyou, Mitsume and herself, he cared only for Mia. she looked up and forced a smile.

"Well now that you are feeling better...why don't we go and find priestess Keade? She might know how to restore your memory." Inuyasha looked at Mia.

"Do we have to do that right now? I just want to take a walk." He said coldly. Mia looked at Kagome who looked heartbroken.

"T-that's fine, We can take a walk and get some fresh air...then..."

"I don't want to much company. Come on Mia." Inuyasha grabbed Mia's hand and dragged her out the door.

"Wha...Inuyasha? Wait a sec..." Mia siad as she was led out the door. Kagome couldn't handle this. she had searched so long for Inuyasha. Even then she knew he wouldn't remember her when she found him, she never imangined it would hurt this much. She couldn't hold back the tears any longer. she began to cry softly. Sango and the others tried to consold her, but nothing could help her exept Inuyasha right now. "I'm going to go find Inuyasha...I need to talk to him..." Kagome ran out of the room, looking for Inuyasha and Mia.

Meanwhile...

Mia and Inuyasha were walking hand in hand through the forest. Inuyasha ws still pulling Mia along without saying a word.

"Inuyasha? What was that about back there? You didn't have to be so cold to her, I mean she's just trying to help and-" Inuyasha stopped walking. He turned around qiuckly and grabbed Mia's shoulders. He pulled her close to him and kissed her passionately. Mia was surprised by the sudden affection but didn't care. She lost herself, and returned the kiss, and wrapped her arms aroung his waist. she didn't know how long it had been when they broke the kiss, still wrapped in the embrace.

"I don't want to leave you..." Inuyasha said softly. Mia sighed and rested her head on him.

"Inuyasha...haven't we had this conversation before...?"

"Yes...but what if...?"

"What?"

"What if when I remember my past...I forget about you in the process?" Inuyasha tightend his hold on her. Mia gasped softly. she hadn't planned on that.

"Well...um...I didn't think about that. Even so...don't you want to remember? Figure out why all this stuff happens to you? and all your friends over there...I bet they really care about you and-"

"I don't care!" Inuyasha yelled. Mia pushed herself away from him.

"You can say that now because you don't remember them! But I'm sure the Inuyasha you used to be wouldn't have hurt them for anything in the world! Their your friends! They only want to help! I know how you feel! Believe me...it's tearing me up thinking about how you might not remember me or even love me anymore, but I just don't want you to be sad or confused anymore. I want you to be happy and if that means leaving me behind then..." Mia stopped. she hadn't relized she had been yelling. she was just so frustrated with all of this, having to push him into leaving her. She sighed and spoke softer. "I don't want to be the reason...for your pain or anyone elses...I'm sorry." Before Mia had any idea what she was doing, she was running off into the forest. she couldn't see anything around her.

"Mia!" Inuyasha started after her.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome came running up the path. "I found you! I know you didn't want company but- Where's Mia?" Kagome looked around slowly. Inuyasha grabbed her hand tightley.

"You know your way around?" He yelled.

"Y-yes..." Kagome was taken aback by this.

"She ran into the forest! Come on!" He pulled Kagome into the forest.

Deep in the forest...

Mia was panting heavily, holding on to her knees for balance. She looked around. Everything looked the same. She couldn't tell where she had come from.

"Damn, I'm an idiot...why'd I run off into some weird forest?" she stood up weakly and sat in the middle of the clearing. she felt something burn on her knee. she looked down to see what it was, she had cut her knee deep. "Oh great...it must've gotten hit by a bush or something...I am an idoit...a big idiot..."

"Are you all right?" Mia heard a womans voice suddenly, it was soft and gentle, but cold and unfeeling at the same time. She jumped up onto her feet qiuckly.

"Ow!" She had hurt her knee again. She saw a woman in preistess atire come out of the shadow's of the trees. She had long black hair which was put back. Her eyes were cold but gentle.

"Your human..." the woman said softly.

"Huh...? Yeah...I am...who are you?" It was Kikyou, but of course Mia didn't know what Kikyou looked like.

"I am a priestess...I sensed a shikon shard over here and assumed a demon possesed one, but I found that a human was here instead. You've been hurt, let me help you." Kikyou leaned next to Mia and bandaged her knee.

"Thank you...but it was just a cut...um...you said you sensed a shard, I thought only Kagome and Kikyou could..." Mia gasped. "Are you...?" Kikyou stood up.

"You are human...but then...you are not. What were you running from?" Kikyou asked. Mia stood up as well.

"Wait! What do you mean by that? I'm human." Mia said, slightly confused. Kikyou looked up a path to her right, there was nothing there Mia could see.

"It seems if you do not wish to be found...you should continue running." Kikyou said as she turned to walk away. Mia followed her.

"Wait! What did you mean by that? when you said..." Mia lost her in a bright light, but she could hear her voice only slightly.

"A light reside's within you...running wont help that..." Kikyou's voice was gone now. Mia stood in the middle of the countless tree's in a daze.

"What?" She heard footsteps in the distance and without thinking walked towards them. Before she knew it, Inuyasha and Kagome were standing in front of her. Kagome looked down and saw Mia's knee.

"What were you thinking? Running off like that?" Inuyasha yelled. Mia looked at him dumbfounded.

"I wasn't thinking...I'm sorry." Mia's voice was flat. she was still thinking about what Kikyou had said. she wanted to know what she meant. "We should head back..." Mia didn't look at either of them as she walked up the path. Inuyasha and Kagome looked at eachother and followed her.

Meanwhile...in the present.

Seira was sitting in her room thinking about Mia and Inuyasha. She sat up and ran out into the living room. "I'm going out mom! See ya later!" She grabbed her coat and ran outside. She took out her cellphone.

"Yagami? Listen...I don't have time to tell you everything but Mia's gone. Meet me at Higurashi shrine in fifteen minutes. Bye." she hung up and ran to the bus that was pulling out. "Wait!" she yelled at the bus driver. The bus stopped and opened it's doors for her. "Thanks..." the driver nodded and shut the doors. she sat in the back and looked out the window. "Mia...something's wrong...I just know it." After a while on the bus, she pushed the stop signal and left the bus. she walked up the street to the shrine and saw Yagami already standing at the entrance pacing. "Yagami? How'd you get here so fast?" Seira asked as she ran up to him.

"You said Mia was gone! Where is she?" Yagami asked in a panic. Seira sighed and headed to the well. "Hey! Wait! Seira?" Yagami followed her.
