Hi everybody.  I'm sorry that I took so long to update this.  I've been busy with homework and stuff but I finally found time to update so here ya go.

3 Leaving the Village

The morning light crept into the hut and Kagome was the first to wake up. "What a beautiful morning," she said quietly to herself. She walked out of the small, brush hut and took in the cool, morning air. I wonder how Inuyasha's sister has been able to survive out here by herself without being able to see, she thought, it must be so hard for her.

Inuyasha awoke from his uneasy sleep and just sat there for a moment. He had been worrying about Inuneesan that night and he was wondering where she had been all this time. Eventually he forced himself up and went to wake the others. "GET YOUR LAZY BUTTS OUT OF BED IT'S TIME TO GO!" He shouted and the others awoke to his loud voice.

They groaned as they rubbed their eyes and Shippo asked, "Inuyasha do you have to be so loud all the time? I was having the most wonderful dream."

"Yes I do besides it's time to go. We must continue our search for the Sacred Jewel Shards."

"For once Inuyasha you are right. But where is Kagome we can not find the Shards without her?" Miroku asked wondering where the girl had gone to.

Kagome had gone for a refreshing dip in the stream so she had not heard Inuyasha yelling his head off and was now on her way back to the hut. She came through the makeshift door and said, "Good morning everyone. Are we leaving already?"

"Yes we are and where have you been Kagome?" The rude half-demon asked her.

"No one was up so I went for a swim," she replied calmly. Kagome quickly packed up her things and then the group were off in search of the remaining jewel shards.

Inuneesan had kept quiet for most of the day but then quietly asked her brother, "How are we supposed to find the shards when we don't know where they are?"

"That's easy sis. Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo and she is able to sense the shards. So we just travel until she finds one," Inuyasha replied.

"Okay," she said.  It feels so good to be back with my brother.  I've missed him all this time, she thought.  A sound came to the girls ears and she asked, "Inuyasha do you hear that?"

"No, hear what?" He wondered as he turned to look at his sister.

"It sounds like people are dying," she replied looking a little frightened.

"Are you sure, which way?" He asked hoping to find a demon to fight.

"That way," his sister said and pointed east.

"Inuyasha how come you can't hear it and your sister can?" Sango asked curiously.

"Cause it's too far off for me to hear it.  Besides she has better hearing than I do cause her eyes don't work," the half demon answered.

"You mean she's blind?" Miroku asked shocked.

"Yes, I'm blind now can we get going?"  Inuneesan asked impatiently not wanting more people to die.

The group ran off in the direction Inuneesan had pointed to and as they ran on Kagome said, "Inuyasha I can sense a jewel shard."

I hoped you guys liked this chapter.  I now it was short but I had to write something.  Like always don't forget to R&R.
