Kagome's POV
It's been weeks since we left Naraku's castle and returned to Keade's (I'm pretty sure I've spelled that wrong...halp.). There's been no word of any kind about Naraku or his incarnations.
"...me?" Nothing even suspicious has been- "Kagome!"
I blinked and Inuyasha came into focus, I felt my face heat up. "Y-Yes?"
He sighed and shook his head. "You haven't heard a word I've said have you?"
I looked down my hair covering my face like a curtain. "No."
He punched the ground. "Damn it Kagome! The faster you learn this stuff the faster we can go track him down and get the rest of the jewel!"
I shivered at the mention of the jewel. I still had it around my neck when Naraku fled. Where once I enjoyed the weight of it around my neck now I couldn't even be in the same room as it. Any time I went near it now it started to blacken and Miroku and Keade had to re-purify it. I had the opposite effect on it that I used to.
Inuyasha shook his head. "We have been at it since morning." He looked up at the sky and sighed. "Let's take a break."
I shook my head. "No, you're right."
He stood up from the base of a tree. "Fine, stay here."
I blinked. "Stay?"
He nodded. "Stay here until the sun is directly above you, then come find me."
I chuckled. "Are we playing hide and seek?"
"Hide and seek?"
I shook my head and looked up at the sky. "You said to search when the sun is directly above right?" He nodded. "That's going to be hours from now!"
He grinned. "Exactly, let's put your basic skills to the test. If you can find me there's nothing more I can teach you."
I groaned. "Alright then, but expect to be found quickly."
He grinned. "We'll see about that."
