Chapter Six "Missing"

The God Hiro gently knocked on the door to his seventeen year old daughter's room, more afraid for his life then when he fought the Monsters of Oni with a broken leg.

"Kagome? Sweetheart, are you awake? I think we need to talk, Kagome." Silence. "Kagome?" His wife appeared by his side. "Kagome? Are you awake, honey?" she asked the door. Silence. "Kagome? Open the door, Kagome!" Silence.

"Do you think she's asleep? Look, the door's not locked. Should we open it?" The Goddess Akiro asked her husband. "I dont know. Kagome? Honey, were opening the door." Her father opened the door to find an empty room. The God and Goddess gased. "Kagome! Where are you?"

The Goddess gasped while Kagome's father serched around the bedroom. looking in the closet, under the bed, into the built in bathroom. "Where could she be?" "I dont know, she was so upset with us." "You dont suppose she ran away, do you?"

"Where would she go?!" Hiro asked. "Where could she possibly go?!" Hiro swallowed hard. "I think she was kidnapped." Akiro sobbed into her hands while the Lord of the palace cried out in a loud, booming voice, "I want everyone in the Heavens looking for our daughter. No one will rest until she is safe at home!!!" He ran out of the room to tell his officials of this order while his wife sobbed into her hands on her missing daughter's bed.

"Kagome...where are you? Please be alright..."

Six Months Later...

"Inuyasha! Look its snowing!" Kagome grabbed her boyfriend's hand and led him outside Miroku's apartment. "Isn't it beautiful?"

Inuyasha shivered in his black trenchcoat. "Its freezing, thats what it is!" Kagome playfully slapped the demon's arm. "Bah! You're no fun. Hey Miroku! Look! Its snowing!" Miroku looked out the window at her and smiled. "Well, it is awfully pretty, Kagome. But I think I'll stay here where its warm." "Yeah," replied his girlfriend, "and I suppose you expect me to keep you warm?"

"Sango, my hands are so cold, and your so warm." Sango laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Very cute, Miroku."

Meanwhile, Kagome and Inuyasha messed around in the snow. "Well, I think we should make a snowman. What do you think, Inuyasha?" He shivered and rubbed his hands together. "I think its cold outside." Kagome frowned. "Well, we already got that point across." The demon wrapped his arms around his girlfriend. "Babe, I can't stay long. I gotta go tonight." Kagome frowned.

"Who is it?" "I dunno, some woman who killed her baby stepson." "Inuyasha, you know I miss you when you go back to Hell to work." Inuyasha laughed at his pouting Angel. "Well, I'll come back tonight, ok?" Instantly her eyes lit up. "Promise?" He leaned in and kissed her lightly. "I promise."

Later that Night...

Kagome giggled as she played with her boyfriend's fuzzy ears, delighted in the way they twitched in her hands.

"Knock it off, will ya?"

"Why? This is so much fun!" Rub Rub Rub "Kagome! I'm warning you!" Rub Rub Rub "That's it!" He flipped her over so that she was underneath him and planted kisses all over her neck as she was mercylessly tickled.

"Baby! Stop!!! Ahh!!" She giggled and laughed, and eventually the demon settled down. He laid next to her in the bed and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her cheeks. "Kagome?" "Yea?" "Do you miss your parents?" The question was so unexpected she thought she must have heard wrong.

"What?"

"Kagome...I think you should go back to the Heavens."

Is this what I think it is?
