Gomen, Minna-sans, but the characters are OOC in this fic cuz I have a few things planned out and that makes them OOC.. I'm confusing myself here... 0.0' Thanks for the idea, Biolightning, but I just thought up a good one. Right before I thought it up, I was typing a way for yours to work. Gomen.

Chapter 4:
"No, you're not," Kenshin said.
"Yes, I am," Kagome retorted.
"No,"
"Yes!"
"No!" Sanosuke sighed.
"Yes!"
"No!"
"You're mean," Kagome muttered jokingly and then got on her feet.
"Gomen, Kagome-san," Kenshin said as Kagome walked away. Sanosuke and Kenshin got up from the ground.
"Salright! I was joking anyway!" Kagome exclaimed as she turned around. "I gotta get goi-"
"You're staying right here," Kenshin said. Kagome looked at him as if he was crazy. "The curse is broken, ne?"
"Iie," Kagome said. "If it was, I would look around 200 hundred years old."
Sanosuke closed his eyes and shuddered as he tried to picture Kagome looking 200 years old. Kagome laughed as she looked attheir faces.
"I gotta go!" She said as she started running away. Sanosuke looked after her with Kenshin and whistled.
"Boy," He started. "She's fast."
"We're fast, too!" Kaoru said scaring Kenshin out of his wits.
"ORO!"
"C'mon!" Kaoru yelled as she took off running. Sanosuke and Kenshin ran after her.

"Where did he say he lived?" Kagome asked herself as she looked at the mountains. A scream rang through the dark sky (it's around 7:00pm there 0.0'). Kagome gasped and started running towards the scream.
/--/--/--/--/--
"Who's screamed was that!" Kaoru asked.
"Hurry!" Kenshin said from in front of her. "It might be Kagome's!"
With that, Kaoru started running faster.
/--/--/--/--/--
"Oh, my," Kagome gasped as she looked at the wreckage and bloodshed in front of her. "Kami-sama..."
A grunt was heard and some boulders started moving. Kagome took a step backl into she saw red hair and green eyes staring at her.
"SHIPPO-CHAN!" She screamed and ran to him. She lifted a couple boulder and helped him up. Kagome hugged him. She looked around. "Where's Asaku and the kits?"
"Gone," He said as a tear fell onto her shoulder.
"There, there, Shippo-chan," Kagome said as she rubbed his back. Two more tears fell. Shippo leaned his head on Kagome's shoulder even though he was a head taller than her. His red hair grew to his knees and was still up in a ponytail. He wore brown hakamas and a green haori.
"Do you want to look for their remains?" Kagome asked softly. Shippo nodded.
"Hai," He answered. "Their my family."
Kagome nodded knowingly and started moving boulders out of the way in search for the three departed. Suddenly, she turned around and looked over into the trees. Someone's watching...

"Where do you think she went?" Sanosuke asked as he looked around at the mountains surrounding them in front.
"I think the scream came from over there," Kaoru said, pointing to the mountain on the far right.
"I think you might be right," Kenshin agreed and they ran over to the right.

"Kima," A husky voice called threateningly. The only light in the chamber flickered as the door opened to reveal a girl around sixteen walk in quietly. Her kimono was forest green and her hair went down to her waist. She gulped silently as she bowed low at her master.
"Yes, Master?" She asked in a quivering voice as she raised herself from the gorund. He chuckled and she visibly winced.
"Show me her," He commanded. Kima nodded grimly and summoned her dark blue orb. It floated to her from another room and landed in her hands. It glowed white and showed a woman looking at mountains. She wore a crimson cloak with a black taijiya uniform underneath.
"Where did he say he lived?" The woman asked herself. Suddenly, a scream was heard and the woman took off running towards it. When she got there, she stopped short and gasped, "Oh, my Kami-sama..."
"Kukuku..." The man laughed causing Kima to visibly wince again. "Seems that Tsunme did his job. You may go."
Kima bowed low again and left the room swiftly. But before she got out of the room, her master's voice rang through the air stopping her in her tracks.
"If you want your brother to live, don't wince in my presence..."
"Hai, Master Himanemaru..."

"Whew," Kagome sighed as she and Shippo finished putting the soil on the three graves. They both knelt down in front of the graves and started praying for their spirits. After ten minutes, a chuckle was heard. Kagomw whirled around and steped in front of Shippo, who was in emotional distress. Kagome growled inhumanly and looked around. No one was there.
"Who are you!" Kagome called out inot the forest. The chuckling stopped for a moment before starting again.
