--Fog--

"InuYASHA! SANgo! MIROKU? Shippo?"

Well, it was certain then. She was lost. Blowing her bangs out of her face, she surveyed her surroundings. What she could see of them, anyways. It was all Inuyasha's fault... who else would make them try to go on in this god-awful fog?

Kagome sighed and trudged on- carefully feeling her way before her and yet still managing to trip over every log and bump on the way to... well, she wasn't sure WHERE, but hopefully somewhere that could honestly be called a landmark.

She shuffled on. Suddenly, on the wind, there seemed to be something... something soft. Wisps of... hair? Kagome shivered. Too many demons... too many bad memories. Kagome wasn't normally frightened easily at all, but being separated from everyone... separated from Inuyasha was taking its toll. Crying out, she shrunk to the ground, her hands over her eyes.

poke...poke poke... "Geeze, Kagome, where've you been?"

Gasping, Kagome slowly peeked out from behind her hands. There before her stood one pretty amused hanyou. Not thinking, not caring, just letting the feeling of relief spread through her body, Kagome launched herself at Inuyasha, clinging to his neck.

After turning 6 shades of red, Inuyasha just placed an arm around her shoulders. "Feh."
