Kagome looked down to the ground and tried to hoist herself back up onto the ledge, the only thing she succeeded in was falling face first into a pile of bushes. Kagome heard the servants breaking through her bedroom door and decided it best if she took off towards the forest. Upon reaching the tree's she realized that she could never out run her demon dress makers anyway and decided on another form of hiding. She took out a little book from her pocket it was no more then an inch thick. Just a little something she picked up at the market, miscellaneous Spells and Charms. She thumbed through the book until she found the spell she was looking for.
"Ah ha! Here is it." Kagome read over the lines and cleared her throat. "Machte Inosante Ishna Corozin!" She had absolutely no idea what they meant, or even if they meant anything but the spell was under shape shifting so it had to be something. A purple smoke surrounded her like a blanket and when the seemingly harmless smoke cleared a very old looking man with a sombrero was sitting in the grass leaning against a tree, his hat tipped to shade his eyes. "I'm a hat!" Cried Kagome, the hat.
Pretty soon her dress makers ran by the sleeping man, she watched them pass by. Minota, a new servant of hers, stopped and started to stare at the sleeping fellow making Kagome a but nervous. "Excuse me? Sir? Have you seen a dark haired girl run through here?" The man tipped up the edge of the hat, which is Kagome, and looked at her strangely. Minota, a little crept out, just smiled at him and ran after the other servants.
"Senorita?" The man said. Kagome, knowing what he wanted, muttered antidote to her spell and the purple smoke came and went. "Gracias.." Kagome handed him a few golden pieces and ran off in the other direction.
"Never will they find me!" Kagome said to herself as she turned around to see if anyone or anything was following her. Her body came in contact, with what seemed like a tree, but when she opened her eyes Kouga was towering above her. His hand extended as an offering to help her stand. She let out a sigh and picked herself up off the ground. "Kagome? Why are you in the forest, its dangerous out here." Kagome muttered a whatever as she brushed past him. "Kagome? Come back here!" Kouga grabbed her around the arm. "The castle is the other way." Kouga, a little peeved, started to walk Kagome back to the castle. "Kouga, but I don't want to get married!" Kagome said dragging her feet. "Oh, your getting married!" She didn't want to get married, and why should she have to? She was just barely old enough to, she hadn't experienced being young yet. "Kouga! I said no! Let me go!" Kouga tighten his grip on her arm. "I have gone through way to much for you do act like this now! You listen to me Kagome, if you don't marry me today then say good-bye to your mother and your brother! I will KILL them, do you understand that!" Kouga grabbed her other arm and shook her. "Do you want them to DIE Kagome?"
"You wouldn't!" She screamed at him as he threw her against a tree. "Oh yes I would. They don't mean ANYTHING to me." He threw her over his shoulder and started to walk back to the castle, when she started kicking and fighting back all he did was smack her head against a tree. Hard enough to knock her out but not hard enough to do any serious damage.

Inuyasha was starting to get nervous, everyone was entering the front yard ready to go. Was he sure that this wasn't a trap? He had a gut feeling that something just wasn't right. "Inuyasha?" Sango had a hand on his shoulder. "Are you listening to me?" Inuyasha nodded a yes, with a worried look. "Inuyasha? What's wrong?" Sango asked. "Well, I don'tt know. I just have a bad feeling that this is a trap." Sango sighed at his obviousness. "Of course this is a trap, that's why we are going. You will go and probably talk to a shapeshifter that looks like Kagome. During that time she will try to kill you and then we come in and take care of everything while you go and find the REAL Kagome." Inuyasha blinked stupidly a few times. "Oh.."
Asune came out to wish them all good luck. "Sango? Take care of the boys will you?" Asune giggled as Inuyasha and Miroku both turned sharply to her with a look of disbelief. "Mom! We don't need a baby-sitter!" Inuyasha moaned. Miroku on the other hand had his mind in the trash. "Do we, I mean, do I get a sponge bath?" He asked eagerly. Asune hugged her sons and slipped something into Inuyasha's pocket. Inuyasha put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a silver ring with an amethyst in the middle. "What's this-" Asune put a finger to her sons lips "Shh... You'll know when the time is right." Inuyash sighed and put the ring back into his pocket. Asune went back inside and everyone went silent. Thinking about the trip to come.

Sesshomaru walked into the tall tower, it had been three days since he had last seen Naraku. The servant he sent after him had returned long ago empty handed. 'Naraku, what is it that you are planning.' Sesshomaru looked to the door "Come in, Asune." Asune opened the door. "Um, wow, it's really...interesting up here." Sesshomaru huffed and turned back to the window. "What do you want." He asked coldly. "Look, I know that you don't like me and I've come to terms with that, but I need you to do me a favor." Sesshomaru turned around in disbelief. A favor? This HUMAN was asking him, SESSHOMARU for a favor? "What." Asune bit her lower lip. "Please, look after Inuyasha. I know Sango and Miroku can take care of themselves but Inuyasha is too blinded by love. Can you do that for me?" Sesshomaru sat down in a dark corner. "I shall think about it. Now, leave." Asune, not wanting to protest, turned and left the room.
'Inuyasha? He is not worth my looking after.' Sesshomaru made the decision right then that he was not going to look after his younger brother. How ridiculous for her to even ask him that. Sesshomaru stood and looked out the window. Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku and...wait. Who is that strange girl? He listened intently hoping they would say her name.
"That's enough silence! Lets go!" Inuyasha screamed at the other. "Do you ALWAYS yell?" Rin asked Inuyasha, but Sango answered. "Yes, he does." Inuyasha huffed. "So what if I do? That's none of your business, Rin." Miroku laughed at his brother.
That's her name? Rin? Sesshomaru stared at the young girl. She is beautiful no doubt. Petite with a small, but fitting figure. Almost if not MORE beautiful then...Kagome. Sesshomaru sniffed the air around him. Picking up on Rin's scent. "A sister of Kagome. How interesting." Rin felt like someone was watching her, she didn't like the feeling. Especially since Sango and Inuyasha were arguing and Miroku was watching them, so there was no one she could see that was looking at her. Then like an instinct she looked up to the towers and picked out one in particular. She couldn't quite see inside but she knew someone or something in there was looking at her. Sesshomaru looked down at her, wondering if she saw him, but as the scent of confusion lifted up to him he knew he was safe.
"ALRIGHT! ENOUGH!" Miroku yelled at his mate and his brother. "Lets go, now." Inuyasha let out a feh and Sango rolled her eyes. Miroku started to walk into the forest as Inuyasha and Sango followed him. Sango turned around and looked at Rin. "Are you coming?" She asked. "Rin! Hello?" Rin shook herself as if out of a day dream. "What? Oh! Yes, Hold on!" She ran up to Sango and from there they both ran up to the boys.
