Sorry it has taken me so long to update. Heh.

"Has anyone seen Kagome?" asked Miroku. Sango glanced around. "Now that you ask, I haven't," said Sango. "Inuyasha have you?" piped Shippo. "Why the hell do you think I have!" growled Inuyasha. "He's been quiet lately, huh?" whispered Sango to Miroku. He nodded in agreement.

"We have to get going sometime Inuyasha, it's almost noon. Go find her," said Miroku. "Me? Why do I have to! It's not like I made the wench run off," snorted Inuyasha. "Because you can find her faster than we can," snapped Sango. "Fine," Inuyasha said and jumped off, mumbling a few things to himself.

"Do you think Kagome went home?" asked Shippo. "It's possible," replied Sango. "But the Bone Eaters well is so far away," Miroku added. "Good point." "Was she mad at Inuyasha?" Shippo asked. "I don't think so. I didn't hear any yelling, and besides Inuyasha was being too quiet."

Kagome sighed while walking down the dirt path. Her small wings and halo still hadn't changed back to normal. Her gown and glow was gone, and had been for a long time. She tried to change back to normal over and over again, but it was no use. "Maybe the affects are permanent. I should have known the changing back would only be a temporary thing. Most angels probably don't do that. Most angels also don't have non-angel friends." She sighed again.

The wind started to pick up. She shut her eyes as a gust of wind blew past her, brushing her hair out of her face. Her skirt and shirt blew with the wind, but her wings and halo seemed immune to the wind- not moving at all. The wind howled. She sat down on a stump and put her chin in her hands.

"I should have known this would happen sooner or later. What a mess I have gotten myself into." The trees shook and a few leaves fell down. "I could go back, since the rule is already broken. If I leave, Inuyasha would hate me." And I would hate myself. "I guess I should keep walking," she said and stood up.

Inuyasha looked around and sniffed. He growled. "Damn I can't smell her anywhere," he cursed. Why did I have to follow her? Why was I so stupid! I should have just left her alone. Now she's never coming back. His ears dropped. "I've got to find, I've got to," he told himself and continued searching.

Kagome heard a rustle in the bush. She stopped. "W-who's there?" she stuttered. "Show yourself," she said sternly. Kagome slowly walked over and pulled back the leaves, only to find a little fox. "Tricky fox," she laughed. It crawled out and sat down next to her. "Oh it's ok little fella. I'm an angel, I can't hurt you," she said and knelt down to pet it. The fox purred and leaned in closer. It lasted a moment before the fox froze. One of its ears twitched in one direction. Then it took off. "Demon!" Kagome heard a voice yell. An arrow whizzed threw the air and landed in the tree, barley missing her.

She saw a few village people come into few. "Me? I'm not a demon," she said. Her wings flapped reflexively. She looked over her shoulder back at the white feathery things on her back. "Drat," she cursed under her breath. Oh course they think I'm a demon! She grabbed her halo and turned it nervously in her hands. "See, I can explain," she started. "Kill it!" another man shouted. "Eep!" she shrieked and dropped the halo, which floated back to above her head. Kagome took off in a sprint in the direction the fox had gone.

"I could try and fly away." She shook her head. "With these puny wings, I'd never get high enough for an escape." She picked up the pace once a few more arrows shot after her. What did I do to deserve this! Kagome made her way deeper and deeper into the forest. Twigs snapped under her feet and she ducked from low tree branches.

Finally she spotted a hollow log and hid inside. Kagome whimpered silently to herself once she heard voices above her. After a while they went away. She hastily peaked her head out to make sure it was clear before coming out. "Great," she mumbled, "now I'm lost and dirty." Like always, her wings and halo had been immune to the dirt but her clothes had a few patches of dirt. It took her a moment to realize what she had said. "I'm lost," she said still kinda shocked.

Soon the sun began to set behind the hills. Sago looked out. "It doesn't look like either of them are coming back soon. Do you think Inuyasha found Kagome?" she asked. "I doubt it," said Miroku. Kirara transformed to he larger form. "We should go look for them," Sango said and went to over to climb onto Kirara. Miroku grabbed her arm. "No, what happens if they come back and we're gone?" Sango slid back off. "You're right. But we can't just sit around and wait for them to come back." "But we're going to," Miroku said and sat down next to a tree. Sango sat down next to him. "How long will we wait?" asked Shippo. "I don't know," said Sango.

Is she really that mad at me? Inuyasha was still searching. He had been searching all day, but to no avail. There were absolutely no signs of Kagome anywhere, no even a scent. "Must be an angel thing. Can they really hide their scent?" It's got to be. Otherwise, does that mean. No, she couldn't have gotten that far. Could she? He sat down on a stump.

A few arrows were in the ground. He sniffed the air. "Keh, just humans and a fox." What a waste of arrows, just for one puny little fox. He looked down at the paw prints. They didn't even catch it. Their arrows missed by a mile. He looked around. That wasn't normal. Wasting arrows on a fox. They hadn't even come back to get them. The fox had been here hours ago. The only reason why a human wouldn't come back to get an arrow would be- He stopped in mid thought and looked back down at the prints. -if they were chasing a demon. Sure enough there were other prints.

"I can't believe I missed that." But they weren't in a shape of a paw, and not a dragon's foot. A human shoe. He sniffed. Why can't I smell it. These prints don't have a scent. His eyes grew wide. "Kagome!"

Hehehehe. I know what's going to happen. Ok, here's a deal for you guys. I promise to post the next chapter by Thursday if-and only if- I get at least 15 reviews by then. Other wise I will post when I feel like it- which could be weeks or months. So REVIEW!
