With Inuyasha

The night had past and the gang was on the look out at sunrise. They were in search for Kagome again, and Inuyasha was more then restless. Some people would think this couldn't get worse but it did…

Inuyasha lifted his nose from his position on the forest ground. It was a familiar scent and he didn't like it. A gush of wind came as a tornado subsided to reveal Koga. Damn.

"Hey mutt face! Where's my Kagome?" Koga said looking and sniffing around.

"Were looking for her ourselves, Koga. She was captured in this forest by a demon. The demon hates women in general and we have no idea where she is, and we'd be happy for your help." Sango said covering Inuyasha's on going mouth with her hand. Inuyasha glared at her then licked her hand. Sango quickly let go.

"Ewww!" Sango cried as she took Miroku's robe in her hand and wiped it.

"We don't need his help! Besides what the hell are you doing here anyway, wolf?" Inuyasha sneered at Koga. Koga glared at him.

"I followed Naraku's scent this way, and it led into this forest. And now that you told me Kagome's gone I'm beginning to think he's Naraku or buddies with him." Koga said looking very VERY serious, which is odd for him.

They all sat there in thought for a moment. Sango snapped out.

"Then what are we waiting for? We have to find Kagome and fast!" She yelled. They all nodded and headed off in a sprint deeper into the forest…

With Kagome

Kagome looked out the window at the forest which was covered beautifully with rain from the night before. The children were all asleep still and Yoshio went somewhere unknown to her. She continued to look as she let out a sigh.

'I wonder where Inuyasha and the others are. Are they even looking for me? Do they even care? I hope so. I really miss them…' Kagome thought. She was so deep in thought she didn't realize Yoshio had walked into the room.

"You miss him don't you? That half breed?" Kagome turned around quickly and looked at Yoshio. Her shock faded as she looked at him as he leaned against the doorway.

"Well I-"

"Go to him."

Kagome looked at him with surprise. Was he really letting her go?

"But you have to come back and say good bye for good, alright?" He turned his back to Kagome as he said this. Kagome smiled and ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you, Yoshio." She said as she felt his strong tattooed arms wrap around her small form. She smiled even more at the fact that she broke the ice around his heart. He pulled away and went to a closet and pulled out a white kimono. He handed it to her.

"Here take this with you." He said then walked out. Kagome smiled and went out to the main doors. She walked out and slowly looked back for only a moment. She turned and was on her way.

After awhile it started getting dark and she began getting an eerie feeling as if someone or something was following her. But every time she turned no one would be there. She wanted to stop and rest but didn't gather up the courage. But little did she know is that someone was following her and planned to make sure she was gone…for good.
