-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ichigo sped down the roads to Tokyo. He kept to the side roads that the cops wouldn't ever check, speeding almost to 100 miles an hour.
Ichigo spared a glance into the back of the car and saw Shippo in his seat. The kid was wierd. He was wearing a brownish fur looking jacket with a blue and white flower shirt. His pants were baggy and a deep blue and he was wearing green tennis shoes. He wasn't much better. He was wearing his school uniform.
An hour later they had made it to the outskirts of Tokyo. Slowing down Ichigo crossed into the main road. They pulled up to the first stop light.
Turning around Ichigo asked Shippo. "Where would Inuyasha go here." Shippo thought for a moment. He knew it was to the shrine and more specificly the well but Ichigo would find out later. Turning towards Ichigo Shippo suggested. "Maybe to Kagome's house. He went there alot."
Ichigo turned at the green light. "Okay so where does she live?"
Shippo stilled. He didn't know where she lived. All he knew was it was near the Goshinboku but no one knew where that was. And Kagome had told him that in the future no one knew of Inuyasha's forest, Goshinboku, or any of the natural forest and springs he was used to. Turning saddly he told Ichigo. "I dont know where she lives."
"What!!! " Shippo's eyes got big and started to tear. Ichigo's eyes softened. (I loved it in the show when Shippo would use that look.) He decided to calm him down. "It's okay. Your just a kid." He looked around. There were alot of teenagers around. ' Must be Fall Break.' He thought but that was perfect. He could find someone to help find the shrine. Turning the corner he spotted a group of girls that he recognized. He knew them from a picture Kagome had once shown him.
He drove up to the group. "Hey do you guys know a guy named Inuyasha or a girl named Kagome Higurashi?" The 3 girls turned toward him and the boy among them to. The girl closest to him with long shoulder length hair spoke up. "You mean that mean two timing boyfriend of Kagome's? I dont know where he is, probably went back to his home somewhere in another city. As for Kagome I haven't seen her since she moved." Ichigo sat there with his mouth open. ' She lied to me. He doesn't live here and they are a couple. Why would she lie...' Beside him he heard Shippo giggle.
"So thats what Kagome told them." Ichigo looked over.
"What do you mean?" Shippo shook his head.
"Nothing. Just that Kagome always lied to her friends and I always wondered what the lie was. Now I know. It's just funny." Ichigo chose to ask him about that later and turned in his seat to face the group.
"So can you tell me where Kagome lives. I am a friend of hers from Karakura town. And she told me to get some stuff. Do you know where the shrine is?"
The boy spoke up. "Yea I know where Higurashi-san lives. Go down this street then turn a left then in a block go right. Then left then make another right at a stop sign. After about 2 stop lights go right. Go down the street till you hit giant stairs. It is there." Ichigo's head was spinning trying to remember all that.
"Could you please write this down." The boy smiled and wrote down directions. Handing him the paper and waving Ichigo took off down the road. In 10 minutes they made it to the shrine.Ichigo picked up Shippo out of the car and took the staires 2 at a time.
Ichigo made it to the shrine and ran to the house. He didn't notice Shippo jump off his shoulder and run to the well. Ichigo came out of the house. "I thought you said Inuyasha would be here." He looked up and saw Shippo run inside a hut. Not knowing what it was Ichigo went to investigate.
He had just gotten inside when he spotted Shippo jump into an opened well. Ichigo panicked not knowing if the well was empty or full so he ran to the well and jumped in after the boy. A blinding blue light came and Ichigo felt something and grabbed it figuring it to be Shippo's clothes. The light receeded and Ichigo looked up...

Kagome laid on the cold stone floor like she had been for the last 24 hours after Naraku talked to her. Hanataro looked at Kagome with saddened eyes as he tried for the 20th time to get her to eat or drink. He had no idea what his Lord had said but it couldn't have been good news.
He watched as silent tears ran down her cheeks and she laid in the fetal position not moving staring into nothing. The only sign she was alive is that everyonce in a while she would blink.
Hanataro tried to get her to speak. "Miss Kagome I dont know what is wrong but you need to eat to stay alive." He pushed the bowl of rice and cup of water closer to her. Kagome just blinked and continued to stare ahead. He sighed and pulled the food away. He got up and was about to walk out when he heard a voice. "I dont want to stay alive I have nothing to live for." Hanataro listened shoked. Her voice sunded so cold and unfeeling. And sadly convincing, as if she really wished to die. Hanataro sighed again.
"You dont mean it. No one wishes to really die." Kagome moved and fixed him with a glare. In a colder voice than she had ever used she whispered. "You have no idea what I have been through Hanataro. No idea what I have lost." She laid back down and her eyes glazed over as she stared at nothing. Hanataro was about to say something when a voice stopped him. "Hanataro leave. You are needed elsewhere." Hanataro stood and bowed.
"Yes lady Kagura." He bowed to the girl on the floor. "Good bye Miss Kagome." He picked up the food and left.
Kagura stared in sympathy for the girl. She knew first hand Naraku's cruelness and didn't wish for anyone to have to deal with it but no matter what she had to obay orders. He literally had her heart at his disposal. She knelt to the girl. "You need to stop crying and get up." She stood back up and rolled her over. Kagome just continued to stare straight ahead. She sighed. "If it makes you feel any better when I killed them I did it quickly so they felt no pain." Kagome blinked and looked at Kagura.
"I thought Naraku.."
"Ha, as if Naraku would actually come himself. It was a clone that he sent. I had to kill them. They suffered not. I made sure." She sat down beside Kagome and crossed her legs. "I may seem mad and ruthless sometimes but I feel for all he makes suffer. No one should have to go through what you have to. Me and Kanna are just his slaves basically. And I know what Naraku told you. You couldn't have stopped it even if you tried. It was fate and it wasn't your falt." Kagura had no idea why she was trying to confort the girl but she felt the need to. It was as if she was tired of seeing the suffering of others. ' Kagura girl you are getting too soft.'
Kagome looked at her. "But my friends are still dead. What difference does it make." Kagura had no idea how to respond. So she just got up and left the girl alone.

Souta sat in his classroom looking at his book. He hadn't seen Ichigo, Inuyasha, aunt Chieko, Kagome, or Shippo since that morning and he was getting nervous.
He looked up as the teacher said his name. "Souta what was the name of the leagendary jewel in the feudal era mythes?" Souta knew this one.
"The Shikon No Tama?"
"Correct." Souta nodded and looked back down at his book. The words unfocused as he went back into his thoughts. ' I hope nothing has happened.'

WHAM
"HENTAI !!!" Sango yet again stood over a disoriented monk with a giant red handprint on his face and Hariakotsu on his head as a new bump formed.
Sango held her hands clenched tight and was seething. Picking up her boomerang she walked over to Kilala and motioned for her to follow. "Lady Kaede I am going to the hot springs please watch Miroku to make sure he stays as far away as possible." She quickly walked through the forest and headed towards the well as she did everyday to wait for Kagome.
As she left Kaede and Inuyasha stood there shaking their heads. "Well old woman he has done it again."
"Yes he has. Inuyasha can ye halp me move him to a hut?" Inuyasha nodded and picked up the unconcious monk.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sango sat by the well waiting for her sister to come back. Kilala sat on her lap and purred as Sango absentmindedly petted her fur.
Finally after sitting down for half an hour she sighed and got up. Kilala jumped up and mewed. Sango stretched and grabbed her boomerang. "Well Kilala I guess she isn't coming today. Lets go to the springs now." She was about to head down the path when...
"LET ME GO!!!!" Sango stopped. ' That sounded just like Shippo and...HES IN TROUBLE '
