Disclaimer: No, you don't get it. Ekiru totally just disappeared, like he just like disappeared. They couldn't sense him….Hm….maybe I shouldn't have made them give up so quickly though….anyways this chapter you will find out why her mother cried. Even though its obvious….well lol to me!

Now It's Personal

"Inuyasha! Please, when you came to get me I didn't pack anything." Kagome said. She lifted her right hand and smiled. "I promise I'll come right back once I pack up."

"Fine, but I'm coming along. We need to hurry back to find this Ekiru." Inuyasha said. Kagome nodded.

"We'll be back soon! See you guys later!" Kagome said turning to Sango, Miroku and the kit.

"Bye Kagome!" Sango and Miroku replied.

"Bye!" Shippou said jumping up and down. Kagome hopped on Inuyasha's back and they were off for the well.

"Inuyasha, last night, when I told you I couldn't sense him anymore, I couldn't. It was just like Naraku, he completely disappeared. I couldn't sense either his aura or the jewel shards." Kagome said. Inuyasha turned his head, but didn't say a word. He just nodded showing he was at least listening. Kagome frowned.

Inuyasha jumped up at the sight of the well, hovering over the well. They fell straight in, and felt the time changing. Once they were sitting on the other side, Inuyasha jumped out. With Kagome it was a little slower. She pulled her self up, swinging her arm around the edge. Then put her leg over and climbed out.

"Come on." Inuyasha said. I'm going to kill that Ekiru for cursing my Kagome! Wait…my Kagome! Gah! Kagome looked over at Inuyasha who started blushing and fidgeting with his fingers.

"Whats wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Nothing!" he answered quickly. Kagome rolled her eyes. She could never figure out that hanyou. Kagome slid open the door to her house. She walked in, Inuyasha close behind. Sota looked up from his game he was playing in the living room.

"Inuyasha!" he yelled, jumping up.

"Yo." Inuyasha replied.

"He can't stay Sota. We have to go back once I pack up some supplies." Kagome said. She patted her brothers head and ran into the kitchen. She kissed her mom on the cheek then went over to the fridge to get some ramen for Inuyasha.

"So you can't stay Kagome?" her mother said as Kagome piled five ramen noodle packs in her arms.

"Nope. We found the guy that cursed me and we have to go find him." Kagome replied as she handed the ramen to Inuyasha. She walked over to the couch and picked up her back pack. She held it open for Inuyasha to stick the ramen in. "Clothes!" she reminded herself. She handed the whole back pack to Inuyasha and ran upstairs. Her mom dropped the dishes and followed her.

"Kagome? Can we talk?" her mom said, locking the door so Inuyasha couldn't come in.

"I have to hurry mom." Kagome said, only her back side sticking out of her closet. She threw the clothes she wanted behind her. Kagome heard her mom sniffle and immediately stopped. "Mom? Why are you crying!" she said sitting next to her mom on the bed.

"I just want to see you more is all. You come here and pack up, stay for two days and then leave for weeks. I just would like to see you a little more. Promise you'll come home a little more?" Kagome leaned in and wrapped her arms around her moms neck.

"I promise!" she said. She let go, and smiled lovingly. She ran back over to her closet and pulled out a brush for her hair. She ran out of the room to the bathroom and grabbed two bottles of shampoo. Her mom looked at her.

"One is for Sango." Kagome answered her mom's unspoken question. Her mom smiled, letting her finish packing. She ran downstairs and threw the stuff into her back pack.

"A lot of stuff dontcha think!" Inuyasha complained.

"All done! Come on." Kagome said. She waved to her mother and Sota. "Love you! I'll be back soon!"

They ran to the well house, jumping into the well. On the other side Kagome landed on Inuyasha.

"Oof! Wench!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome giggled. She got up and climbed out of the well with Inuyasha following. She climbed on Inuyasha's back.

On the way back to Sango and Miroku, she sensed Ekiru. Inuyasha seemed to sense him too because he started growling.

"You sense him too? He's near the camp! Hurry! Sango and Miroku could be in trouble!" Inuyasha gathered speed and leaped off trees to get endurance.

They quickly made it to the camp. They didn't see Miroku and Sango. Not even little Shippo. Kagome hopped off. The camp was destroyed. Everything was cut in half. She ran to the opening of the forest, and that's where Sango and Miroku lay. They didn't move. A tear streamed down her face. Ekiru was gone but his scent hung in the air like gas. She turned Sango on her back and leaned her face down to her mouth. She was still breathing but barely. She looked over and Inuyasha was leaning over Miroku.

"She's still breathing!" Kagome yelled over to him. He looked up from Miroku.

"So is he! We need to get them to Kaede's!" he replied.

"Kirara! Kirara! Where are you?" Kagome yelled. A bush started shaking, and a large cat demon came out. It was Kirara. Her leg was wounded and bleeding bad. "Kirara!" Kagome got up and ran over to her. She pulled the back pack from her shoulder. She unzipped the top, and pulled out the first aid kit. She took the wrap and wrapped Kirara's leg. She had to help Kirara so she could get everyone else to Kaede. "Kirara, we really need you to help us carry them. Wait where's Shippou!"

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome turned, and Inuyasha looked worried. He held a little kitsune in his arms. She ran over to him, followed by a limping Kirara. She took Shippou from his arms. He was barely breathing. His face was cut and he was caped with blood. "That monster!" she yelled.

"I'll take Miroku. Kirara, can you make it with them?" Inuyasha asked. They were close to the village so she nodded. Kagome lifted Sango on Kirara, and she climbed on herself. She held little Shippou in her arms.

All the way Kirara winced at the pain shooting up from her leg. Kagome patted her on the head and scratched her behind the ear, urging her a little longer. Tears now streamed fast down her face. She looked down to make sure Inuyasha was doing ok with Miroku. She saw Inuyasha look up. He smelled the salt from her tears. He looked back to the road and went even faster.

He always acted like he didn't like Miroku, but the truth was he was his friend. One of the only people who accepted him for who he was. He would do anything to save his friend. And now Kagome was crying. He couldn't stand it when she cried. They may have been close to the village but they had a little ways to go, so he sped up.

Kagome urged for Kirara just a little faster. She didn't want to hurt her but she had to get Sango and Shippo to Kaede's. She would do anything to save her and Shippou.

This is all my fault. I just had to go back. I left my friends all alone and I paid for it. She assured her self that Ekiru would pay for this. Now it was personal. He cursed her and that she wanted revenge for but that wasn't even close to the revenge she wanted for him hurting her friends. They were defenseless. He would pay. No matter what she had to do he would pay.

Kagome will totally creep you out these next chapters. And yes this really happened. I didn't want to hurt them but I needed something to spice up the chapter and here it is. Please review. Thanks! don't worry youll see what happens tomorrow.

No awards today. Sorry my brother wants to get on so I don't have time to get on the internet and check out all the reviews but THANKS FOR THEM! Lots of love to you reviewers!
