Heart of Tensaiga
Frantic Search
Inuyasha and gang had been searching for several days already for any signs of Kagome. So far the only information they had was that this somehow had something to do with Naraku. Sango and Miroku were worried of course but took it well enough to keep their minds on the task at hand. Shippo was another story. The poor fox had fallen into a state of depression now that his mother figure was quite possibly in the hands of their enemy.
Inuyasha had been beating himself up over his failure to protect her once again. He should have known something like this would have happened given previous encounters. He let out a gruff sigh when he noticed the others were starting to lag behind due to exhaustion. He had woken them up early and it was now starting to get dark.
Taking a sniff around to make sure the small field they were in was safe, he turned to them and said, "Get camp set up. I'm going to check the area."
Sango watched the half demon take off past the field they were currently in and out of view. The habit had started ever since Kagome went missing. He would wake them early, work them until they were exhausted from the travel, and then he would take off into the night to continue the search. Poor Inuyasha, he is more frantic than anyone else in this search. I wonder if it is out of love or of the guilt.
(A/N) Yay for insight into the new daily routines of the group! That and I wanted everyone to be tortured...wondering what happened to poor Jaken. Don't worry, next chapter you shall find out!
Also, thank you all for the wonderful reviews.
