Kagome's POV

He threw planks of wood on to the fire . We both were silent until :

"You wouldn't happen to know where our destination is would you?," he asked , rubbing his sword . I shook my head .

"Excellent," he said sarcastically . "We'll wait for the insects to show us"

I nodded .

He looked at me . I almost shivered for a moment . It was like we as looking through the mask and at me directly .

"Naraku," he sighed . There was a small smirk on his face.

I grunted , uneasy seeing Naraku's face in my head .

"So what do you owe him?," he asked ,laying back.

"Nothing," I said . He grunted lightly .

"Then why are you here?" he asked me .

"I made a deal with him," I said , shuffling around .

His eyebrows raised , sarcastically . "interesting," he said .

Inuyasha's POV

Kouga helped me up .

"Ugh ," I grunted . My chest stung , bringing me to my feet.

"This is the second time," Kouga complained : referring to needing Alley's help (healing)he picked up my sword and handed it to me .

"Have you got their shards?," I asked . He nodded .

"Right here!," he exclaimed taking out the six shards . "I'll let you have them, until we rescue Kagome that is," he said cheerfully . I accepted them , grunting lightly. Went into my kimono searching for the container . It was there . I growled . "That bitch," I snarled .

"What's wrong?," Kouga asked .

"She took the shards , my shards," I explained .

He grunted , lightly . "All the more reason to kill her," he said . Swiping the smug of dirt off his face . He seemed strangely happy . .

I nodded . Let's get back .

Alley once again healed me .Barely taking a minute . She sigh .

"Mister Inuyasha you need to be more careful," she sighed .

I got up , ruffling her hair . "I will," I said simply .

"Now what?," asked Kouga , crossing his legs . "All we know is that Naraku's hiding in the South"

"Yeah so, lets quick wasting time and look for him!" I said . "If Kira know her beloved father is in trouble she'll go head first and warn him. With Kagome's scent being left around we'll find her and -"

"Kira , then we'll save Kagome and destroy Naraku , thanks to his own child," Kouga said , sounding more enthusiastic than me .

"Yup, let's do this," I said .

"Alright but we'll have to take everyone with us," Kouga said .

I nodded

. I know we'll need Alley more than once . Hakkaku and Ginta especially , just in case we need them to baby sit . I'm still not sure about everyone else though , : Sango is useless and still knocked out . Miruko can't focus with out her . Sort of like me and Kagome .

Kagome's POV

Another silence , followed by :

"I suppose the insect will either come now or in the morning," he said . His eyes were blazing with emotion , not sure which though .

His eyes looked directly into mine . I exhaled , almost sniggering through my nose .

"Nice mask," he commented .

"Thanks," I said , stoking the fire .

He observed the sky before looking back at me .

"It's getting late." he said . "We'll need to get food" He said getting up . "Know where we can find some?," he asked .

His was making convocation . My senses told me he knew who I was . He'd been here for days , waiting for me .

I grunted . My senses had already told me there's a farm couple of kilometres away . "There's a farm not far from here , Bankotsu ," I shifted up and walked towards the fire . I her him grunt lightly .

"Smart girl," he said , swinging his sword around . "I hope you haven't got a problem stealing , and killing," he said .

"Trust me I haven't," I said .

We set off .

Inuyasha's POV

We recovered Kilala from her sitters , chucking all the slow people on her . Unfortunately we had to leave Sango , Miruko behind . They would only slow us down more .

Alley was on Kouga's back , sleeping while we ran . Ginta and Hakkaku were sleeping on Kilala . Typical.

"Kouga," I called . I started to feel and aura , it was strong . Defiantly demonic .

"What?," he asked , speeding up .

"Do you feel that?," I shouted .

"Yeah , it's weak . But its close," He said . "Kilala , speed up!" he demanded . She kicked her legs over board in the sky , her flames blazing .
