AN: Lets get on with the story.
Chapter 4
Koga took Katana's body and wrapped it in a fur blanket, and headed towards the river. When he got to the river he uncovered Katana's face and sighed. "Hmmmmmmmm it's such ashame she has to go to waste." Koga then looked at the water and dropped her. The river took her limp body down waterfalls until it went into a river.

"I-I-I Can't go on no more! We're not going to find her! She's as good as dead by now!" Kagome had tears following down her cheeks. Inuyasha walked up to her and held here in his arms gently. "Kagome...don't say that...we'll find our daughter. I promise we shall find her alive." Kagome nodded silently in his arms. They started to walk on when Sakura stood at the lake with a bewildered look upon her face.
Zora walked up to her slowly as she placed a hand on her back. "Sakura what's wrong?" Sakura said nothing and kept on looking at the water. She slowly closed her eyes and her eyes turned baby blue. "I feel...feel her...she is...near. Her life is slowly fading..." Everyone stood there as they watch Sakura channel Katana's wave length. "Her voice screams to me...but It's so cloudy...". Sakura closed shut her eyes tighter, and let the wind blow through her raven like hair. Her eyes opened an as she sensed that Katana was near, her eyes started to trembble. "Zora...i-i-i-it's coming from the water. She's in the water! Help her, help her!" Sakura started screaming.
"Sakura-Chan calm down she's not in the water!" Hakiro screamed putting his hands over his ears. Sakura jumped in the water and started swimming franticlly in the water. She dove under water, and came up for air every 5 secs. The next time she came up to the surface for some air; her foot got tangled in something. Sakura started to scream for help. Inuyasha without hesitation jumped in the water and swimed out to the place Sakura was. He dived under water to see what she was tangled in. His heart nearly stopped when he saw Sakura's foot tangled in something that looked human's hair.
He grabbed Sakura and hesitanly grabbed the body then swam back to the others. He first gave Sakura to Miroku. Then he flopped the body on the ground. They could see that the body had cuts and bruises on it. An it was semi-bleeding. "Inu...Yasha? What is this?" Kagome stepped back along with the others. Inuyasha sniffed the air. Inuyasha said in a low voice "No this can't be..." Inuyasha fell to his knees, and moved the hair from the body's face.
Kagome gasped in shock. "No Katana! Please be alright!? You can't leave me not now! I can't go back to Fukai Mori High School without you!" Zora cried out as she ran to her bestfriend side.
"Come on Katana wake up, wake up, wake up please don't leave us." A single tear ran down Sakura's face. Inuyasha turned towards Kagome, and looked her straight in the eyes and said "It's all my fault if I would of never lost her scent she would still be okay." Kagome looked at him with her eyes full of saddness. "Inuyasha it's not your fault you tried. We all tried. You lost her scent because of the heavy rains last night." As she said this she hugged Inuyasha carefully in her delicate arms.
Katana started coughing up water but, she still wasn't fully awaken. Kagome's heart jumped as she turned to look at everyone with a serious look. "Everyone we need to get her to Keada's village, if we want to save Katana's life. So, Inuyasha go ahead with Katana on your back and get her to Keade's hut. Sango, Miroku, and I will go ride on Kirara's back. Then, the kids will ride on Kylei's back. Is that okay with everyone?" Everyone was starring at Kagome because this was one of the very few times they saw Kagome take action like that. Inuyasha was just about to take off with Katana, when Kagome called his name.
"Inuyasha..."
"What Kagome?" Inuyasha said turning around.
"I just wanted to say thank you and give you this." Kagome walked up to Inuyasha, and gave him a light kiss on the lips. She then walked back to the others with a slight blush. Inuyasha just stood there with Katana's body on his back. Inuyasha took off leaping great distants with thoughts passing through his head. Did she really do what I think she just did or was I dreaming? Inuyasha quickly snapped out of his trance.
The others were only a few feet behind him riding on Kirara and Kylei's back. When they got to Keade's Village Katana woke up. She started to look around franticlly. "W-w-w-where am I!? Uh Dad? Daddy it's you!" Katana flung herself at Inuyasha ignoring the pain from her wounds. She started to cry. "Daddy you came and saved me didn't you?"
"Of Course I did." Inuyasha held her close. Inuyasha smiled at the word "daddy" that was the best word anyone ever called or said to him. "Katana!!!!!! You're awake thank kami your awake!" Everyone was to excieted they didn't hear the howling of wolves. That night the Village had a big feast to celebrate. After the feast everybody went to their huts to talk while they drink tea.
"Katana?" Sakura said sitting in between her and Kagome.
"Yes Sakura do you need something?" Katana asked with a bright smile.
"How did you get those cuts and bruises?" Sakura asked curiously. Everyone was now looking at Katana waiting to hear her answer. It was a moment of silence until Katana said something. "Oh...um...They're just from the rocks in the water." She said as she scratched her head awkwardly. She didn't like the fact that she got her ass kicked, and to make it worse it was by a boy. Sakura always looked up to Katana, and she was afraid if she knew the truth she wouldn't idolize her anymore.
"Oh okay. Bye Katana I'm going to sleep now." Sakura walked off and went to sleep. After Katana had finished her tea she fell asleep, followed by Zora and then Hakiro. "I don't believe her one bit." Inuyasha said calmly.
"She's your daughter...She was probably felt upset about being...Ya know..." Kagome said while she looked at the floor.
"You're right..." He said looking at Kagome.
"Lets talk about something else." Miroku said smiling.
"What else is there to talk about?" Sango asked while sipping her tea.
"Well we can talk about us Sango." Miroku was now holding her hands. "Sango when I heard that Hakiro and Zora was our kids, that made me the happiest man alive. I'm happy that your going to be the woman in my future." Miroku was saying this while his hand was traveling south.
"Hentai!" Sango hit him with her Hiraikotsu.
"Will he ever learn?" Kagome sighed.
"He'll learn when hell freezes over." Inuyash and Sango said together.
"Um Kagome can I speak to you alone for a moment?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah about what?" Kagome asked with a smile.
"I think I'll leave now. I'll take the perverted monk with me." Sango dragged Miroku into the rooms with the others and left Kagome and Inuyasha to talk alone. After he couldn't hear them or see them anymore he took in a deep breath. "I wanted to talk to you about that um...you...know...that...k--k--ki--" Inuyasha couldn't even get the words out. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and slightly tilted her head. "Oh do you mean that kiss I gave you earlier?" Kagome asked while blushing a little.
"Uh yeah that's what I meant." He said as he blushed lightly and looked away.
"Okay what about it?" She asked worried he didn't like it.
"Why did you kiss me?" Inuyasha asked as he looked into her eyes.
"It was a...um...a...um...a thank you kiss." She quickly made up.
"Oh alright good night Kagome." He was kind of upset at the reason she gave him, but just ignored it.
They went to bed not knowing they were being watched by Koga. Who was making a plan to steal Katana back.
