Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha!

Chapter Four: Nonexistent Time

Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Lady Sotka traveled through the town to the edge of a cliff. Lady Sotka stopped, turned around, and took a deep breath. "We have arrived."

"What? We ain't anywhere, we're on a cliff." Inuyasha was getting irritated all he wanted to do was get back to Kagome. The longer he was away from her, the longer she had to find someone else.

"Silence Inuyasha! Once we step foot off of this cliff we will enter the forest. There is no turning back, the only way out is through Lady Satyura's mansion, and the only way to her mansion is to defeat Lord Satyuri. There is one thing I must advise you of however... once you enter the forest, time stops for you, yet the rest of the world goes on with time. There is no sense of time in the forest." Lady Sotka turned and walked off the cliff only to vanish the second her feet hit the air.

Inuyasha and the others followed her one by one, each disappearing into the forest.

Kikyo looked on from behind a tree as the one she wanted vanished, not to return until he had finished what he had gone there to do... get Kagome back.

Sesshomaru walked along the lines of the village he had been resting outside of. The teenage girl who had given him food had returned many times with more food and water, each time more beat up than the time before, then suddenly she had stopped coming all together. As Sesshomaru came near the village, he saw a middle-aged man standing with a group of older girls and boys around him. The kids had on dirty clothes and carried tools with them. The man was yelling at them, and most of the girls were crying.

"You see what happens when you are disobedient to me? Let this be an example to all who try to constantly run away and avoid work!"

Sesshomaru looked at where he was pointing. The girl who had helped him, was dangling from a tall pole by a rope tied around her hands. The smell of blood and death overwhelmed him as he walked closer to the scene.

Sesshomaru's voice echoed throughout the town. "You dare kill a girl for helping me?"

The man stumbled back a few feet. Sesshomaru used his poison claws to break the rope, sending the girls dead body falling to the ground with a thud. Sesshomaru walked calmly to the man who sat screaming.

"AHHH, it's a demon! Kill it!"

Sesshomaru smirked at his pitifulness. "You disgust me!" He took his claws and shoved them through the man's chest pulling out his heart. He turned to the dead girl, and frowned. 'Should I? Is she worthy? She would be obedient, would she not?' Sesshomaru drew his Tensusaiga and used its power to do the unthinkable... bring a human back to life.

Kagome sighed and got ready to go to work. She had had a wonderful dream the night before about Inuyasha. Tears came to her eyes. It had been nearly a year since the day she had come back to her time and became fated to never travel to the past again.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. 'Perhaps one day we will meet again, but until then...'

Kagome shook her head to clear her thoughts. "What am I talking about? He chose Kikyo, remember? Ki-ky-o. Not you Kagome, duh... I hope they are living happily... or did he let her drag him to hell with her... ugghhhh! Stop thinking about him Kagome, you're just going to hurt yourself..." A horn sounded from outside. "Oh no, now Eri is outside and I'm not even finished getting ready..." Kagome frantically looked in the mirror and inspected her reflection. "Doesn't get much better than this..." She grabbed her purse and ran out her bedroom door and down th stairs. "Bye Mom, bye Grandpa, bye Souta!" She grabbed her white tennis shoes from the door and put them on while running to Eri's car. "Hey Eri!" She said out of breath.

Eri laughed, "What's the rush, Kagome? To busy thinking of your ex to get ready again?"

"Shut up and drive, Eri. Just shut up and drive." Kagome mumbled.

"Ouch! What did your old boyfriend do to turn you so sour..." She muttered under her breath as she backed out of the Higurashi's driveway. "So Kagome, how are you and Hojo doing?"

"Huh?"

"Kagome come on! You two had a date last night! How did it go?" Eri was getting impatient with Kagome's slowness this morning. 'It's almost like she isn't here...'

"Oh please Eri... I would hardly call going to see a movie with your friend, who just so happens to be a guy, a date." Kagome was sick of Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka trying to set her up with Hojo, if she wanted to date him she would.

"What!" Eri slammed on her brakes as she pulled up to the hospital where they worked together. She turned to look at Kagome astonished. "Kagome! What goes on in that head of yours? This is Hojo! The Hojo! Ya know, the one girls swooned over in high school?"

"Yeah Eri, I see your point." Kagome took of her seatbelt and opened her door. "But I don't care."

"He isn't going to wait for you forever!" Eri took her seatbelt of too and got out of the car slamming her door. "Give up on your ex Kagome! I don't know who he is or what happened between you guys, but he obviously isn't coming back for you! Hojo is here now! Seize the day, Kagome!"

Kagome turned to Eri with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry..."

Eri was shocked. 'I finally got through to her...' "Good so you finally see my point!"

"No!" Kagome was shaking with anger. "I'm sorry I expected you to understand how I feel!"

"Oh Kagome... I..." Eri ran to her and put her arms around her as Kagome silently sobbed. "Kagome everything will be fine... I promise." Eri kept telling her, but Kagome knew it would not be fine.

"I just want to go home..." Kagome kept whispering.

"You want me to take you back to your house? I totally understand if you want to..." Eri began to open Kagome's door.

"No Eri, I want to go home."

"I don't understand Kagome, the shine is your home..." Eri was confused beyond belief. "She's making no sense..."

"No it isn't" "My home is with Inuyasha..."

"But you have lived there your entire life... I don't understand..." Eri stiffened. "Higurashi Kagome! You better not be telling me you want to die!"

Kagome laughed at her friend's assumption. "No, Eri, I'm not saying I want to die." Kagome dried her eyes and gave her friend a hug. "Come on, let's get to work." They turned and walked into the hospital.

Inuyasha grimaced. They had been walking for what seemed forever, he could only imagine how long they had been gone from the real world. 'Kagome is probably long gone now...'

"Quiet everyone! We approach Lord Satyuri's domain... soon you will all fall under his spell. Each of you must fight through it, coming out realizing what it is you truly want. Lord Satyuri's job it to distinguish those of pure intentions with Lady Satyura from those of dark intentions. You will each have to complete this task on your own. Each of you will have a different scenario and each of you will wander through it until you can complete the task given to you. Some tasks may seem humorous but each will be a challenge to the individual." Sotka paused and looked at each of them individually. "Shippou and Kirara will come with me, children are considered pure to the Lady and Lord and will not be tested."

"Where are you going? Won't you too be tested?" Sango asked as Lady Sotka began to leave with Shippou and Kirara.

"I am the child of Lady Satyura. I don't need to be tested. Good luck to you all! I will see you at the castle." With that said she walked away and disappeared into the thick fog which seemed to overtake the forest they were standing in. They all stood and let it overcome them, knowing it was part of the test to come.

'I hope this doesn't take too long...' Inuyasha closed his eyes and took a deep breath, when he opened them he gasped.
