The Other Side

Chapter 28

She's Been Kidnapped

"So, what's the plan now?" Kagome asked as she held onto Rin's hand. Shippo was sitting on her shoulder, enjoying the ride and being close to Kagome. He really missed her when she wasn't at the castle. Inuyasha strolled up to her left side, walking side by side with her. Kenichi walked on the other side while they all followed Sesshomaru, who was a good couple of feet in front of them.

"Well, it depends really, are we staying in the west or going back to Kaede's village? Or we could just wander around all of the land looking for something to do," Inuyasha answered, ignoring the hurt look Kenichi gave him. Inuyasha decided to keep his gaze in front of him from now on unless he was looking at Kagome.

She hummed in response, in thought. She glanced down to Rin, noting that her eyes were tired and she would take two steps before tripping every couple of minutes. Kagome bent down and picked her up; Rin automatically wrapping her arms around Kagome's neck and sighed. She was asleep within seconds. "I think; I want to head back to the well. Maybe I can do something…"

"But Midoriko said that you couldn't go back." Inuyasha shook his head a little.

"I know what she said but she also said that the Gods gave me a power alike themselves. I don't know—maybe I can do something to fix the well. I'm not okay without my family, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha placed his arms in his haori while biting his lip. "It's not the end of the world you know. You'll be able to see your family again."

"Years! It'll take years before I see them again. I'm already heartbroken that I killed the well." Kagome shifted Rin on her and sniffed. She sent a glare to her friend, who looked away.

"I know you are but it's not like their dead or anything. It's not you'll never see them again, you just have to be patient and wait."

"I don't know if you noticed or not but I've been living with you for five years and have picked up on your habits. Patience is not one of them." Inuyasha flushed as Kenichi chuckled to the side, followed by coughing into his shoulder to cover it up when Inuyasha glared at him.

"Kagome; look. Those years will pass by rather quickly actually. I know for a fact that for a demon, years are nothing but time. Or in other words, time will pass fast."

Kagome snorted. "I haven't been a demon for more than a week or so and in that week, I will admit that it has passed by fast but there are days that are slow and torturous. I am going to the well regardless."

Inuyasha throw his arms in the air in aggravation as he slowed in his walk, now traveling behind them all. Kagome huffed and would have crossed her arms over her chest if Rin wasn't in her arms. Kenichi decided to keep quiet for the time being; holding in his questions and confusion for a later time.

"Rin has been feeling horrible, Kagome," Shippo whispered in her ear as Kagome tensed. "Your bond has weakened her; she hasn't been able to sleep for days." Kagome glanced to the small fox in horror. "The only thing that kept her going was knowing that you would come back eventually."

"Oh god, I forgot all about the bond," she said slowly as Shippo nodded to her.

"Yeah, I figured you did but I don't blame you. Whatever happened to make you leave was probably worth it."

"Me hurting Rin was not worth that," she chided. Shippo headbutted her cheek.

"But at least she's sleeping now."

Kagome kept her pace while trying not to blame herself for what she did to Rin. Technically, Sesshomaru is the reason for her departure but she was still at fault or least she was in her eyes. She rubbed her head against Rin in comfort and felt Rin response with a content sigh. She hated herself at this moment in time. Kagome shook her head to rid these thoughts as her ears swirled to the right causing her to pause.

The males continued on before slowly one by one stopped when they realized she wasn't walking with them. "What's wrong Lady Kagome?" Kenichi questioned, looking back to her. Inuyasha walked over to her as she turned to him with a finger on her mouth to signal to be quiet. Inuyasha placed his hand on his sword.

She kept watching the forest to the right, something was watching them, something that was making her nervous. She swallowed hard as she felt Sesshomaru glide closer to her. Kagome knew he was trying to read her eyes; it was probably the only thing that would give herself away. It also pleased her that he knew how to read her.

"Something is watching us," she said, ever so quietly.

"Is this another one of those times where we don't feel what you're feeling?" Inuyasha asked, confused. He honestly didn't feel anything nor sense anything that she was sensing. It left him on edge.

Her ears flattened against her head as she requested, "You don't? Please telling me you're kidding…?"

"I don't sense anything," Kenichi confirmed.

Sesshomaru heightened his demonic aura, causing Kenichi and Inuyasha to stumbled at the sheer size of it. Kagome wasn't bothered by it, in fact it actually comforted her. From what she could understand, he was scooting out the danger and trying to make it go away. For whatever reason though, Sesshomaru was moved a few feet backwards. Something just as strong, rammed back against him. Inuyasha's eyes widened. Kenichi tried not to gape and Kagome began to get really anxious.

"Just hand over the woman and you can be on your way," came a voice that made Kagome pale. It sounded threatening.

"Like hell we will," Inuyasha said back to whomever as he brought out Tetsusaiga with a growl. Kenichi took out both his swords, ready to duel wield them. Sesshomaru brought out Bakusaiga as he narrowed his eyes on whatever was off to the right.

Rin's startled cry and Shippo's yell of "Kagome!" brought them to look to her. She was gone; poof. "No! Bring back Kagome!" Shippo continued to yell then started to sob.

"Kenichi, bring the children back to the castle. Inuyasha and I will go after her," Sesshomaru commanded as Kenichi scooped up the children, who were crying by now and protesting, and disappeared.

"Tell me you have a plan," Inuyasha growled out. Sesshomaru was quiet which irked him to no end but then Inuyasha understood as Sesshomaru started to listen to everything around them. It wasn't enough though, they were still standing on the road and no indication of which way they took Kagome. "Damn it Sesshomaru, can't you find her? I have no clue and there's nothing around to tell me where they took her."

"Yes, I know," he answered softly, making Inuyasha pause in his rant. "Trouble follows that woman, does it not?"

"Like you wouldn't believe," he said with a shake of his head.

Sesshomaru, I don't know if this will reach you but head to the north. Whoever this is, is heading for Kouga's territory. And for what it's worth, they smell like wolves, Sesshomaru heard a voice say in his head as he turned his body to the north. Why would he head there and for a second, the voice sounded strangely like Kagome? "Follow," he said before he took off, Inuyasha running after him as fast as he could.
