A/N: I purposedly made this chapter short so that the next one can be longer. Okay? I hope nobody minds, but I'm not changing it.

I'm really happy. I just realised that I have nearly 500 reviews! X3 Makes me smile to know that people have been reading my story and enjoying it.

Alright, so someone (Sorry, the name escapes me) asked that I put a little more YYH in here. Well, I tried, and I will keep trying, but I'm having trouble thinking of things to do. It's hard to put them in this story.

So I almost didn't update today, but I did. Be glad because I probably won't get another chance to this week. I will try, though, and now I should stop rambling and actually get ready to leave class. (Once again, I seem to be writing this in my second block class...)

Souta rummaged through the drawers at Kagome's. "Where does she keep it? I mean, I know she has it somewhere..." he trailed.

The first thing he had done after reading the letter was to call the police. They had thought it was a prank call until he mentioned Naraku and Shippo; then they had started to take him seriously and told him they'd be over soon.

Now he was looking for Sango's number, among others. Souta felt that it would be nice for Kagome's friends to know that she was getting herself into trouble, yet again.

So far, Souta had no luck in finding anything remotely resembling a phone number. He had looked through nearly every drawer in the house so far. Slamming shut the one he was going through, he opened the last one he hadn't looked through yet.

His eyebrows raised as his sight was greeted with many dried roses and notes. Picking up a note, he read a sort of love letter. "S? Who in the hell is S?" Souta smiled. "Looks like my big sister is finally dating someone seriously." He smirked and continued looking through the drawer, desperately keeping his mind off of his sister's predicament.

He finally located Sango's number at the very bottom of the drawer, along with Rin's and Kikyo's. He decided he should probably call all of them, plus that vet that had given Kagome Yuuki. Maybe they could watch the fox while Souta looked for her...

He picked up the reciever and dialed the vets number, which had been programmed into the speed dialing system. It took a while for someone to answer, and Souta was debating on whether or not someone was actually there.

A young-sounding male picked up, and Souta remembered the voice. It was that guy that had assisted Dr. Yoshizawa.

"Hello, I don't know if you remember me, but my sister called you people a while ago to help with a moody fox?" he started.

The guy, Yuusuke, said "Oh, I remember you. What has the git done this time?" he asked.

Souta sighed. "Not the fox, but his owner. My sister has disappeared and I need someone to watch Yuuki, but all of my sister's friends are going to be helping to look for her."

Yuusuke nodded on the other side of the line. He was in Koenma's office when the communicator rang, arguing with the brat for more time to spend with Keiko. "I think I can send someone to go look after him. I would go myself, but I'm in the middle of a very important meeting." Yuusuke ignored Koenma's indignant squeak.

Souta practically glowed. "I'd very appreciate it. He's already a handful ever since Kagome left, and I had to stuff him in a closet again." The scratching was settling down a bit, though it hadn't subsided completely.

"Alright, I'll be sending over one of my partners. His name is Hiei. He won't talk much, but he can certainly handle your fox."

Souta thanked Yuusuke and said his goodbyes before hanging up.

Yuusuke closed the compact look-alike to hang up, then opened it again and dialed Hiei's code. He completely ignored Koenma and his squawking. He waited for Hiei's curt greeting before launching into the story.

"Two things to tell you. One, Kurama is freaking out and I need you to knock some sense into him. I can't go because the toddler is keeping me under lockdown. Two, there's something I need you to check out. There's been some big demonic activity around town and it's worrying everyone here, which isn't saying much. Kuwabara is sick, Kurama's mini-me, and I'm not being let out here until Koenma agrees to let me have some more time to myself. Can you do that?"

Hiei's picture nodded and disappeared.

Yuusuke turned to finish his conversation with the brat.

The dark corridors sent a small shiver down Kagome's back. She completely ignored the small sounds she heard of dripping water and scurrying feet. She had no doubt that the entire building was insect infested and full of rodents, and it did nothing to quell her unease. She was being as quiet as possible, yet she still felt like she was being entirely too loud. She could hear her feet echoing off of the empty walls and through the dank building.

The entire atmosphere was making her tattered nerves even more frayed. She couldn't hear a noise without thinking it was a crazed ax murderer coming to get her. She couldn't see a small amount of light without thinking someone was going to jump out at her with a butchers knife, kind of like a bad scene out of Psycho.

Why is it that now I start to regret my love for horror and suspense movies? her mind whined. She nearly whimpered; nearly. Her throat was too tight for any noise to come out. I seem to have swallowed a log.

She continued to cautiously make her way down the corridor. She swore that Naraku had picked this place out just to set Kagome on edge, and it was definately working.

She had been pondering her choice closely the past few minutes. She had also been thinking about who could have been working with Naraku, but she had yet to come up with anyone who would be crazy enough. Anything to keep her mind off of how insane she was to be doing this.

She saw a large door in front of her, no doubt restored to its former glory by the same insane psychopath that Kagome was about to meet. She was very apprehensive about going through, and had a moment where she almost turned and fled.

Instead, she gathered the remains of her courage (which wasn't much to begin with) and knocked once. She half hoped that nobody would answer and that she would have to leave. She half hoped that this was all some really horrible dream and that soon she would wake up with Yuuki after a lovely night with one of her two knights in shining armor. Deep in her heart she knew otherwise.

The door slowly creaked open and Kagome took a hesitant step forward. The room was surprisingly dark; Kagome didn't know if she had expected theatre spotlights or mood lighting, but it wasn't a completely dark room.

Just as she passed the threshold, the door slammed shut behind her. Any light that had followed her was completely cut off. She whipped around and began to pound on the door. "What is this? Let me go!"

Malicious chuckling answered her as she heard a hissing noise. There was a wierd smell filling the air, and she belatedly realised that someone was sending some sort of gas into the room. She barely heard the 'sweet dreams' that was whispered through the door before collapsing into oblivion.
