Shippo's POV

Ok, ok, since Sesshomaru won't help me, I have to find and help Inu myself! But the sad truth is I have no clue where to start. It would be weird if I went to the library to look up demons and half-demons… Where would I go…?

Duh. Where else would I go? The internet. So I logged on and searched for demons and half-demons. Most of the results were bogus as they were American sites but I found a Japanese site translated to English so I clicked on that. What I read confirmed what Sesshomaru said. The government in Japan was really afraid of the demons and half-demons. But when I saw the pictures of all the executed demons it made me sick. It was so brutal. They hung them, shot them, and stranded them in forests for animals to eat them. I turned off the computer before I saw more.

At least I knew what was going on with Inu. But the next problem was to find him. I mean he could've been anywhere in the world! But I decided to narrow my search areas to places where I was pretty sure he had been before. Here and Kyoto were two of them, but they were the most unlikely seeing as Inu wouldn't go back to the place that was persecuting him. And here was out of the question, too. So the only places are the locations from here to Kyoto. Oh, boy.

First of all, I didn't know how to get to any of these places. I mean, we're poor. My dad barely gets by on his salary with just himself. So, again, I decided to go Sesshomru's apartment. When he answered the door, he didn't look at least surprised to see me. He just silently stood aside and let me pass. I sat at the table and he offered me a drink. I declined and he sat in the chair opposite of me. We just sat there for a while, not speaking. I was too afraid to. Would he yell at me for interrupting him again? Would laugh at my incompetence of not been able to find Inu yet, as it seems he had all the answers. I didn't know. So I decided that being silent was best for now.

After a while, he stood up and walked over to me. I flinched at his sudden movement and I heard him laugh.

"Ha ha. Do you think I would hurt the one trying so hard to look for my brother? Of course not! You came here to seek answers, yes?"

I nodded for lack of anything else to do.

"Well, you must know, he is currently safe in Kyoto, hiding, so no need to worry."

Well, oh my god, that was a wake-up call.

"WHAT! WHAT IS HE DOING IN KYOTO, ISN'T THAT DANGEROUS! OH MY GOD! HE'S GONNA GET HIMSELF KILLED!"

Sesshomaru had the most amused expression on his face. I guess my little outburst was funny.

"Well anyway… How am I supposed to get there? Isn't Kyoto on the other side of the world?"

Sesshomaru just smirked.

"We will take a plane. First thing tomorrow. So hurry up and pack. I will be by your house to pick you up at 7:00 AM sharp. Don't keep me waiting."

With that he grabbed my collar and threw me out of the apartment. My head made a dull 'thunk' on the wall. WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT! But I didn't want to make Sesshomaru mad so I went home to pack. So many questions were going through my mind, but I decided to wait for tomorrow for the answers.

Seven came faster than I would have liked. It was Sunday and I really wanted to sleep. But Inu's safety came first. SO I got up and waited by the door for Sesshomaru. When he came, I left a note for my dad to tell him where I was. Then we left.

When we got on the plane, I decided to ask my questions.

" Uhh… Sesshomaru? How exactly do you know where Inu is?"

He looked at me before answering.

"I already told you, a demon never reveals his tricks."

"Oh. Well… How can you afford a plane ride? I thought you guys were poor like me."

"Inu-yasha told you that. While it is true that Inu-yasha himself has little money But I have a small fortune hidden away. Inu-yasha doesn't know. That's why you assumed that."

"Oh, I'm sorry… SO when are we gonna get there?"

"We shall get there in no less than half a day. Rest now for you will need the energy later."

Then he dozed off. I wonder what he meant by that. Well whatever it was, I was gonna bring Inu back. For sure.
