16—Knowing Kagome…
Dawn came when Inuyasha finally returned to camp. Miroku and Sango were awake, cleaning their weapons. Shippou tossed and turned uncomfortably in his sleep.
"Any sign?" Sango worried.
Inuyasha shook his head. "She must've gone real far. Her scent fades about forty miles south."
"Karu said he can feel she's all right," Miroku assured. "And Kagome's smart. If we can't find her then we'll just have to meet up with her. We know where she'll go."
"Yeah," Inuyasha sulked.
"We'll have more daylight soon," said Sango, studying the warming horizon. "Kirara can help us look as we head towards Kaede's."
