First off I'd like to say thank you for all of the pretty reviews I got, yes I mean pretty. Also I will try to write a little better it's just that I've been using note pad and it frustrates me. I have to look over and make sure it's readable. It would be a lot easier if I had word so I'm dreadfully sorry if it's a little grammatically incorrect or hard to understand. I will try to make it easier to tell whose talking.

Chapter Three: The City.

Kaileb stood tired and alone and had done the only thing he had seen in movies, shot out his arm and stuck his finger up in the traditional hitchhiker's position. A minivan stopped in front of him. Kaileb looked inside and a woman sat in the driver's seat.

"Where are you headed?" she asked her green eyes staring into his after she had lowered the window slightly.

"I don't know I'm following the music" he said and looked down under the intensity of her eyes. His dark brown hair was tied in a ponytail at the nape of his neck.

"How can you not know where you're headed? So then you're saying you're walking around aimlessly? How old are you? What's your name?" she hollered,

"My name is Kaileb and I'm twelve years old," he answered.

"I'm taking you with me, get in the car! I'm taking you to child services in New York" she said. Kaileb looked at her flaming hair.

"I'm Kaileb who are you?" he said sticking his hand out to her

"I'm Ayame, but people call me Aya." She said shaking his hand. Kaileb got in the car.

The drive was long and silent other than the radio, Kaileb felt by going to New York the music was getting stronger, and so in his eyes this was the right way. Ayame looked at his face while he slept, she got out of the car locking it from the outside as she stopped outside the child services building, and she went to talk to her husband Kouga. Kaileb's eyes opened slowly his eyes darting as he saw her enter the building that was clearly labeled Child Services. Kaileb pushed the unlock button and got out running in a wild direction stopping as he heard the music around him, it was all so loud then one thing caught his attention an older boy playing a guitar in the center of a park. Kaileb took out his savings dropping a dollar in the guitar case.

"Hey thanks any requests," the boy said his hair was flaming as well.

"No, I just was listening" Kaileb said, the boy shrugged his shoulders playing a random song, it was amazing in Kaileb's ears he looked at the guitar in wonder never noticing that he was getting closer with every note. Kaileb smiled as he touched it.

"Hey, don't touch my baby." He said.

"I'm sorry I didn't realize, how do you play this?" Kaileb asked. The boy looked at him.

"I don't have time for this...Spider is going to kick my ass I made shit money" he said walking away. Kaileb followed him for a good three blocks.

"Hey kid why are you following me?" Shippo asked.

"I have no where to go" he said

"How much more dough do you have?" Shippo asked Kaileb looked at him with a confused look on his face.

"You know dough? Money" Shippo said with an annoyed look on his face.

"Twelve dollars" he said Shippo smiled and grabbed his hands and started running faster towards his home.

Kaileb walked inside he had never seen such a big place all in one building. "Its beautiful" Kaileb said softly.

"It's all right I guess" Shippo said.

Shippo sat down on the floor counting his money slowly. "I have twenty" he said sounding disappointed. Then a man walked in his hair was long and black trailing down his back in waves. His eyes glittered red. The man pulled Shippo's flaming hair and pulled him up from the floor

"How much did you make today bug?" he said

"Spider I got twenty today" he smiled through the pain

"Well that's defiantly an improvement and who is this?" Spider said

"I'm Kaileb" he said.

"I'm Naraku but don't call me that call me Spider, what are you doing in my humble abode?" he said

"I followed the music, Its taking me to my family" Kaileb said

"So then you play?" Naraku asked

"I love music," he said

Naraku glanced at his fingers and then grabbed his hands touching the tips slightly. "You haven't played a note in your life, tomorrow morning he is gone" Naraku yelled pushing the boy to the floor.

"I haven't but I want to" Kaileb said. Naraku just walked away locking the door on his way out.

That night while everyone slept Kaileb looked at the guitar in amazement touching it softly around the edges and the neck then he began plucking strings. Soon he was playing as if he had been playing his whole life. Loving every minute of his experience. Naraku ran down the spiral steps and to the source of the unknown melody. The original sound coming from the boy's fingertips, it was possibly some of the most amazing music he ever heard. Naraku knew this boy could make him some serious money and so he put him out to work immediately buying him lunch. Needless to say that Shippo was jealous pissed off and wondering what had possessed him to bring that boy to his place.
