(what happened last time)

But little did he know that he might have some delays. A soul gatherer came out from the wood onto the path. He stopped and wondered if he should follow it. He knew he should get back but he wanted to know what Kikyou wanted. The gatherer circled around him then went back into the forest. Curiosity got the better of him and he followed.

(now on with story)

It was about noon and they still hadn't found him. Kagome was starting to worry. She and Kilala kept loosing his scent. It was strange, he only left the night before, his scent still should be, somewhat, fresh. This only worried Kagome more. Something wasn't right, she could feel it. If Inuyasha was hurt, or worse, she would never forgive herself. She couldn't help but think it was her fault. She figured if she would have stayed awake last night or at least she would have remembered what was going on this morning, maybe they would have found him by now.

She shook her head. 'Right now is not the time to be thinking about that. Right now just concentrate on finding Inuyasha…' She mentally told herself. 'Yes we will find him and everything…and… I just hope he is okay…'

"Look!" Shippo pointed.

Kagome looked down and saw Sesshomaru in a clearing.

"Should we go and talk to him?" Kagome asked looking over to Miroku and Sango.

"Well since this is where Inuyasha's scent leads us I suppose we should go and ask him if he knows where Inuyasha is." Miroku said.

Kagome nodded and started to head downwards. Kilala followed with Miroku and Sango.

As they landed Sesshomaru turned to glare at them.

" I told Inuyasha to wait and I would come in a couple of days" He said angrily.

"So you have seen Inuyasha?" Kagome asked desperately as she put Shippo on the ground.

"Yes he came by earlier." he said. "To ask for help."

He looked at Kagome. 'A demon now…How?' He thought to himself. 'An angel demon…only few change those into an angel demon…' His eyes widened. 'Perhaps Nika…'

"Do you know where he is now?" Kagome asked urgently. "Or..uh when did he leave?"

Sesshomaru sighed. (Does sesshy sigh? I do not know.) "A few hours ago."

A look of disappointment crossed Kagome's face. 'That means we are hours from finding him, most likely.' She turned back to Miroku and Sango, who were now off Kilala standing beside her.

"Perhaps, Kagome, He has gone back to Kaede's village?" Sango suggested.

Kagome shook her head. " I know this may sound crazy but I know something is wrong. I can't tell you how because I don't know how. Just trust me." She sighed. "We just need to find Inuyasha." She said worriedly.

Sango smiled sympathetically. "Alright Kagome. I trust you."

Miroku nodded. "As do I."

Kagome smiled, a smile that said thank you. She turned back to Sesshomaru.

"Could you help us find Inuyasha?" She asked.

"Why would I assist in finding that half-breed." He said coldly.

Kagome's eyes hardened at his words. "We need Inuyasha to beat Naraku, no matter what you think of him." She stated. "You may never admit it, but your brother is strong."

Sesshomaru stayed silent then. "Half-brother." He corrected. He looked towards the woods then back at Kagome. "I will help." He decided.

"Thank you" she said gratefully. She turned back and walk towards the others. Picking up Shippo along the way. "Alright. Since Sesshomaru is coming with us I will continue on foot with him since he can't fly." she said.

"Not to sound rude, but why do we need his help?" Sango asked.

"He has a better nose than I do, I guess." Kagome said unsurely. She figured they could find Inuyasha without him, eventually. But maybe it was just faster having Sesshomaru help considering they were having such a hard time finding him.

Sango nodded. Kagome turned back to Sesshomaru. "Ready?" She asked.

He simply walked forward. Sniffed once then continued walking in that direction. Kagome sighed. 'I guess this is how he is going to be for the whole way.' She thought as she followed him. Sango and Miroku in the air on Kilala above them.

….With Inuyasha….

He followed the gatherer deep into the forest. They came into a small clearing, where Kikyou stood.

"Kikyou" Inuyasha said stopping a few yards away from her. "Uh…Was there something you wanted?" Inuyasha asked after a few moments of silence. She stayed quiet and didn't move. She didn't even blink, just stared.

"Kikyou?" Inuyasha said walking closer to her. She stayed still until he was about a foot away. She smiled.

Inuyasha looked at her with confused eyes. Just as he was about to ask her what was going on everything blacked out.

…With the others….

Sesshomaru lead them on along a path but not for very long. He stopped and sniffed. Then looked over into the forest to the left of him.

"He went in there." He said.

"Well lets go then." Kagome said trying to sound cheerful. But she was wondering why he would turn into the forest. 'This path would have lead back to us. What could be in the forest that would make him go off the path…'

They walked for a long time before Sesshomaru stopped once again. He looked back at Kagome.

"His scent stops here… But it isn't the only one." He said.

Kagome sniffed. Then whispered, "Kikyou". 'Does this mean he left with Kikyou?' She though sadly. 'He must have went with her…But couldn't he have at least said goodbye?' Tears started to form in her eyes. She set Shippo down.

He looked up at her. He didn't like seeing her sad. He didn't know why she was sad in the first place.

"Sango" He said jumping onto her shoulder. "Kagome is sad because she smelt Kikyou." He whispered. (I would be too (covers nose) jk!)

Sango frowned. She knew what Kagome must be feeling.'I willget Inuyasha back for this.' She thought angerly. But now wasn't the time. Her friend needed comforting. She put shippo down and walked over to her.

"Oh Kagome" Sango said pulling her into a hug. Kagome let the tears flow silently and hugged Sango back.

Sesshomaru ignored themall and looked around. He saw a few feet away some blood. He went over to it and sniffed, sure enough it was Inuyasha's

Well there ya go I hope you guys like it!
