Lady Frozen Rose: I apologize for the wait after posting two chapters back to back. Life just has a funny way of catching up with you.
Sesshomaru: can we get back to the story woman? *hand glowing*
Lady Frozen Rose: *hides in a rose of ice* my name is Lady Frozen Rose and yes
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters. I just own my plot.
They all went to bed after Miroku and Kagome had their discussion. The next morning, after packing up camp, they continued traveling. A few days later, they got a surprise and had to make a quick stop. They stopped in the woods, somewhere near a town.
"Are we there yet, Kagome?" someone whined.
"Huh?" the entire group said with very confused looks on their faces. The voice they heard was Shippou's. He had been with Kirara (r's are pronounced like l's in Japanese) for a while, looking for Sango, Miroku and Kagome. They finally found them from the air. Kagome realized it was Shippou and immediately started to ask him questions. She asked him where he had been, if he was alright, the usual questions your mom asks when you've been gone for a while. He told them he had been with Kaede since Inuyasha and Kagome had started fighting again. When they reach the town, he realizes she's with Lord Sesshomaru and asks her why. She tells him she'll explain later.
The town was small, except for the lord's house; it was like a castle only not quite. One of the townspeople notices the group and asks them to help with a demon problem they have. He explains that the lord of the town had suddenly fallen ill one day and then started kidnapping all of the women from the town. When he first fell ill, he sent his daughter to stay with his advisor, only, she hasn't been seen since. The group immediately went to the lord's house to get rid of the demon. The closer they got to the house, the stronger the demonic aura and the presence of the shard Kagome sensed when they left Inuyasha became.
"Hey, I sense a shard here."
"Is it the on you sensed when we left my brother's company?" Sesshomaru asked.
"It is. Let's go." Kagome said.
They enter the house and start looking for the lord. They find him in his "throne" room with all of the girls in eggs/cocoons. Upon their entrance, the lord attacks Kagome and Sango and tries to put them in eggs/cocoons but Miroku steps in and starts his exorcism. Once his exorcism is complete, the lord is free from the spider demon's possession. Kagome then finds the location of the shard; it is on the spider's back, in the middle. Sesshomaru quickly disposes of the demon and Kagome picks up the shard, purifying it.
The entire time the group was there, Naraku was watching from the shadows and Inuyasha and Kikyo had decided to follow them. Unfortunately for Inuyasha, the group moved too fast so he couldn't keep up.
"Damn that Kagome and my brother too!" shouted Inuyasha, as loud as possible.
He and Kikyo were in a clearing still trying to follow Kagome. And Inuyasha was getting pissed that he hadn't seen them yet.
Meanwhile, back at Sesshomaru's castle, "I can't believe I got stuck watching you again!" shouted a very unhappy Jakken, while Rin just grinned at her prisoner. She had Jakken tied to a chair and was putting flowers in his hat and makeup (lol) on his face. He looked very comical and when Rin was done, she ran to get Ayame, who was there to help Jakken. Ayame followed the spirited little girl and upon seeing Jakken, started laughing uncontrollably.
"Stop it! Stop laughing and help ME!"
"Okay, okay, stop yelling" Ayame said and proceeded to untie him. He then went to wash his face and take the flowers out of his hat. Meanwhile, Ayame braided flowers into Rin's hair and then went out into the gardens with her.
In another part of the forest that Inuyasha and Kikyo were in, Kagome and the group stop to rest when Koga comes racing in. Expecting to find Inuyasha flirting with Kagome; what he finds instead, startles him so much that he leaves his shards and goes back to his cave.

Sesshomaru: Please review and don't make the lady cry. *hands glowing in warning*
Kagome: don't threaten them, then they won't read the story. Please forgive him.
