Chaper nineteen: Capture Her


By the time sickle shattered under the pressure of the youkai's jaw as it ran after Sango, she had been able to retrieve Hiraikotsu, while the bear couldn't really attack her. She swung the weapon around and gave the bear youkai two good whacks in the back of the head rendering it unconscious. Then she ran back over to where Ebisu and Kagome to make that they were still alive. Her attention was drawn to the bird youkai that was starting to fly closer to the ground readying itself for its next attack. Sango's eyes flicked over to Kirara whom had successfully retrieved Miroku and the sphere.

"What should I do with the orb?" Miroku yelled as he held the giant beach ball sized sphere while Kirara flew down giving him enough time to hop off and for Sango to hop on so that they could bring down the bothersome bird youkai. It was circling in the sky waiting for the perfect chance to strike again.

"This is what's controlling them," Kagome said looking at the glassy surface. "What's with my eyes?" She scooted closer to the reflective orb to examine them. They were red and she had two commas in her left eye and three commas in her right one. There was also a small white dot in the center of each comma. Where had she seen eyes similar to these before? Kagome reached out her right hand and ran it along the smooth surface noting the small crack on the surface. Her attention shifted past her reflection and stared into the orb watching her energy swirling around trapped inside.

"My friend, what is with your eyes?" A shiver went down Miroky's spine as Kagome's red eyes locked onto his, they gave him the chills. They were following his every fidget- no actually it was more like he was looking at the spot before he had even fidgeted. It was creeping him out even more as her eyes watched him. He preferred Kagome's inviting bright blue eyes better. These eyes she had now made her looked frighteningly cold- they could very well belong to the eyes of a heartless killer.

"It's a Kekkei genkai. Like how only you are the only one to have the Kazaana Miroku-kun. Kagome-chan has something known as the Sharingan." Ebisu looked up at the darkening sky. Everyone was probably too busy fighting to notice that the sun had set hours ago. His mind was fuddled those were the signs of a headache beginning.

"Sha-rin-gan?" She pointed to her eyes that had widened in shock. "What do you mean this is the Sharingan?...I thought only Uchiha members like Sasuke were the only ones who could have it! I don't have Uchiha blood running through my veins. There has to be some sort of mistake."

"No. There is no mistake that is the Sharingan Kagome-chan," Ebisu paused momentarily wondering what he should do. "You'll need to receive training on how to utilize it. I know of a highly skilled shinobi back in Konoha. I might be able to convince him into teaching you. I've been on a couple of missions with him back in the day." He said as his eyes glazed over, his mind went to a far off place before they slowly started to close and he slumped over snoring loudly.

"Well at least we know Ebisu-sensei isn't dead." Miroku said watching as Sango jumped off Kirara's back. She looked so fearless her hair long brown flowing behind her in the wind, the features on her face illuminated by the light of the orb. In a past life he might have been able to fall in love with her but now he saw her more of an abusive violent younger sister.

"So about this orb…" Sango trailed off tapping her knuckles against the hard surface.

"Ah- yes! Back to the problem at hand- What should we do with it? This is obviously what is controlling all of those youkai and it absorbed all of your reiki Kagome. I wanted to smash it so I dropped it off the side of the fountain and from that height all it made was this tiny crack in the side. Meaning that whatever this is made out of is really strong. I'm positive the best route to go down; is to break this open. That way it will release the youkai that are under its spell and hopefully give Kagome back her reiki."

"I say we blow it up. We can place these exploding tags that only explode when something is thrown at it, around the weakest point. So we can retreat to a far enough distance." Sango said pulling a whole roll of exploding notes out from her red pouch only stopping when she caught a quick glimpse of Kagome's eyes. "Whoa, what's with those eyes of yours? I've told you not to rub them so many times before."

"It's not because I rubbed my eyes. I'll explain later." Kagome grumbled as her beaten body was placed on Kirara's back along with their sleeping sensei. Once the exploding notes were in place and the bear youkai was dragged away from that area. Sango and Miroku jumped onto Kirara's back. Immediately the neko took off running as far away as possible. When they got to the point where there had reached the end of Sango's wire, she pulled on it to set off the trap she had set up. A rock would be hurled at the orb covered in non self destructive exploding tags and-

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM

The point of the explosive tags that didn't blow up after awhile was so a trap could be set off by someone or something. Reiki rushed back into Kagome's beaten body and she couldn't tell what was more excruciating. Her reiki being pulled out her body or getting it back into her body. It was probably an agonizing tie. Her entire body shuddered so violently, her eyes clenched shut and she bit down on the inside of her cheek to keep herself from crying out. That's all she could remember before losing complete consciousness.

"Farewell honored guests! You are free to visit our village anytime arigato for all the help!" The villagers cried bowing to show their respect. Their minds have all been enslaved by that orb and the four ningens that set them free stayed for two weeks in their village. A couple of days after all the youkai got their minds back the ningens gave them the herbs to counteract the poison that some of them had in their system and then spent a couple more days recovering in their village hospital. Then after they had recovered they helped rebuild their village. Most of the youkai's opinions had changed not all ningens were bad, these ones were especially nice.

"Right then all of you, I owe everything to you, right. I just wanted to let you know that there are two other villages that I know of like ours. I was trying to get in contact with their village leaders, right; we are close friends you see. However there is no response and I am thinking the same thing that happened to our village. The same fate has fallen onto their village also! I've circled their hidden locations on this map that I am going to entrust to you. If it's not too much to ask before you return to your village…Would you check up on these villages onegai? Money is not an issue I will be glad to pay you lot twice- right three times as much! For all you've done, just tell the two youkai leaders to send me one of their best messengers with a message signed by them. Right, you are strong shinobi so none of you should have any problems." Buu said rubbing the top of his head as he spoke, trying to butter them up.

"Buu-san I don't mean to be impolite, but why don't you have one of your messenger's see if the other village is all right?" Ebisu said wobbling around on crutches, it turns out the bear youkai had fractured his leg. He really didn't want to face another horde of real bloodthirsty youkai not after the last encounter.

"This is well, embarrassing but our village doesn't have any messengers none of the youkai here want to leave this village. The citizens are too scared that they will be attacked and killed by stray shinobi. I can't force anyone to go either. Even though the villages are quite close together no one is willing to do it."

"Okay my squad and I can do it." Ebisu said his body slumped over in pain. He took the map from Buu briefly looked at it with his group then tucked it away in his back pouch. He didn't know why but the Jounin vest just never complimented his figure, that's why he never wore one. It would make life easier with all those pockets though….he must have some tucked away safely in the back of his closet somewhere.

"Right I'll have received two messages from the other villages when you're done and then I'll send one of the messengers over to Konoha with double the money and a giant 'thank you' note from everyone in the village." Buu said waving as the shinobi went on their way.

"I bet Gai's team has never been on an extended mission like this one!" Sango said excitedly with a big smile across her face. A light pink fighting kimono mauve rectangles all over it and at the bottom was some light green trim loosely hugged her body with. Her favorite skin tight fighting outfit (that had been patched up again) was underneath her regular clothes.

"This time we should go in with some sort of strategy. Since now that we know what we are dealing with. What was effective and what wasn't? I know that dropping the orb from a high height will make it crack and if exploding tags are attached to that area it can be destroyed that way." Miroku thought aloud.

"Well using reiki is out of the question," Kagome grumbled she sat on top of Kirara's back even though most of her wounds had already healed up, this is the longest time her whole entire body hurt. It was as if every single nerve had been hit with a bolt of lightning the way her reiki was ripped out then absorbed back into her body. "If there is a creepy orb or something similar it will suck it out of you."

"Their food is probably poisoned so to be safe, none of us should eat it." Sango chimed in adding to the growing list.

"Miroku-kun this is a wonderful idea which reminds me I am going to teach you a new genjutsu! Since this method seemed to be the most effective out of all the jutsus I used against the youkai it didn't harm any of them but kept them from attacking us as we went about our business." Ebisu said as Miroku walked slower so he could walk beside his crutches. He started to explain the basics of the genjutsu and when it was a good time to use it and when it wasn't.

"Let's see the map," Kagome held out her hand. They had been walking for a very long time talking among themselves. Mainly Ebisu was teaching Miroku while Sango and Kagome talked to one another, about anything that crossed their minds. She opened up the map, the same time a strong gust of wind went by blowing it out of her weak hands. Luckily Sango reacted quickly and threw four shuriken at the paper pinning it to a tree. "We're almost there. I think we should take a break and get some lunch. There's a river up ahead. Hopefully there is lots of fishies!"

"Kai! [Cancel]" Kagome said dispelling the genjutsu. Ebisu kept casting it on her as she stiffly walked around collecting wood with Sango to build a fire. They were building one so they could cook all the fish that they had caught. While Ebisu was showing Miroku how the jutsu should be executed telling him to use Sango as his unwilling target. The shinobi sensei had decided to use Kagome because the small girl could show no violent tendencies at the moment and he didn't want set Sango off. Otherwise she would use his sore body as a training log for casting it on her.

"Now you try." Ebisu said taking a small break. The jutsu took quite a bit of his chakra but he could waste some in order to teach it to Miroku. This was just so the boy could get a feel for the technique. Since he would have to trap a wider range of targets of all shapes and sizes if the youkai in the towns they were going to, were like the ones in the village they had just come from.

"STOP IT! YOU KNOW I CAN'T GET OUT OF YOUR STUPID GENJUTSU! I'm going to pummel the both of you when I get out of here!"

"So…Miroku-kun….. do you get it now?"

"….Hai." Both guys lay twitching on the ground in heaps with massive steaming red lumps all over their bodies made from Sango's fists.


"Ramen! Ramen! Ramen!"

"Kagome I don't know how you can have so much energy after coming here directly from that last village." Miroku whispered sounding completely exhausted as he was being carried piggyback style by Sango, who rolled her eyes at the comment. Miroku's whole body seemed to ach from the strain of holding the jutsu for an extended period of time.

"It's no wonder, I mean you and Ebisu-sensei were the ones doing all the hard work. Except this time only you had to cast that genjutsu, it took a lot of your chakra. While you were doing that, Kagome acted as a distraction while I got the orb, dropped it, and then made it explode." Kirara had been carrying Miroku but Sango had decided it was her turn to carry him because they were getting close to the village and judging from how Ebisu had reacted the first time he found out, she assumed the villagers probably weren't ready just yet to see Kirara's true form.

"See Miroku-kun, those physical training exercises I made you do improved your body strength and increased the amount of chakra you have by a considerable amount." Ebisu was still using his crutches to walk around. The youkai villages did not have any medic shinobi that could heal him up. As soon as he got back to the village he would go to the hospital then submit his report and findings about the sharingan in Kagome's eyes to the Sandaime. Or maybe he should do it the other way around… the possibilities.

"I'm starving." Kagome said rubbing her mid section; it was starting to feel like her own stomach was starting to digest itself. At least her muscles no longer hurt since she removed the weights she never felt better. The best part about these weights was that it trained the very muscle to make it stay in the same condition, even though the weights had been removed. As long as the person continued to do physical activity the results of wearing the weights would not eventually wear off. She was still uncertain about using her reiki so she wasn't able to heal Ebisu's leg.

"Well that's your fault. Why did you skip breakfast and not eat anything when we took that short break awhile ago?" Sango asked stopping to readjust the sleeping Miroku who was starting to slip off her back. The sight they made must have been hilarious. Miroku was a lot taller than she was and yet she was able to carry him with ease along with Hiraikotsu. 'I doubt he'd be able to reciprocate the actions.' She thought to herself dryly.

"That's because I wanted to save all the room I have in my stomach because Ebisu-sensei promised he was going to be treating me to Ichiraku Ramen as soon as we got back to the village!" She announced with a giant grin on her face when Ebisu had paled considerably.

"Un…as soon as we get there you can start eating. I have a couple of things to attend to before I can join you." The one thing he had learned travelling with his new Genin was that she ate, a lot. Partly that had to do with her using up so much chakra and or reiki everyday. This reminded him. He needed to talk to a certain retired ANBU. Ebisu was really started to regret the promise he made. He would be lucky, once he had paid for her meal that there was enough money left over to pay his rent.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this? Will all of our missions take about three weeks to complete? Just like the one we were just on?"

"Iie, just this one, we spent a lot of that time travelling, didn't you learn this in the academy?" Ebisu asked as Sango walked ahead of them having a conversation with the small neko on her shoulder.

"Ano…some of the lessons Iruka-sensei taught were really long and boring. So I slept through some of them."

"Nani?" He was shocked, how could-?

"Mou, it wasn't only me. Naru-kun and Shikamaru-kun did it too!"

"This is probably the reason why you ended up only being in the fourth place at the academy. With that Kekkei genkai you could have easily come second or even surpassed Uchiha-san!" Ebisu yelled his crutches resting under his armpits as he picked up Kagome and shook her back and forth. "What a waste! You could have done it if you weren't so lazy!"

"Iie. It always felt like I was cheating. I saw how hard Sango worked every single night to come second place out of her year before I left. It seemed wrong how easily I could pick up the material," Kagome said quietly looking down at her feet "Miroku didn't even work as hard as Sango and look where he ended up. While Sango stayed up so late practicing and reading that she would fall asleep at the table. Even Naru-kun worked harder than me on the school work. Just doesn't seem fair…"

"You can't help it if you're more naturally talented then others. It's a way of life as a shinobi. Sango-chan and Miroku-kun both have their strong points and have their weak points. If you're not trying the hardest that you can, you're not only letting other people down but you're also letting yourself down. That's what I call a waste," Ebisu said as he set Kagome back onto her feet. "Sango worked hard every night while at the academy and came out top five shinobi. Whereas Miroku-kun got almost perfects on all of his tests and quizzes but still graduated as one of the lowest scoring shinobi, yet that doesn't stop him. Miroku-kun is just too easily distracted by the sight of any pretty young girl walking by, he needs to stay focused. He's also not as physically strong as he could be. While on the other hand Sango-chan pushes herself way too hard at times. She needs to know when to stop. Despite having a lot of chakra she has a much harder time molding it and also has a terrible habit of not remembering the correct series of hand signs for even the simplest of jutsu's."

As Sango neared the gates sneeze three times 'I wonder who is talking about me' she looked up the pathway where her sensei and Kagome were. "Hey slowpokes come on! I can already see the Konoha gates. There's ramen waiting for you to devour it Kagome."

"Ramen!" Her eyes lit up and she ran past them all and soon found herself spinning around and around in one of the worn seats at the Ichiraku Ramen stand.

"Kagome-chan! You're back!" Ayame called out happily, clapping her hands together as Kagome's eyes swirled around in her sockets from dizziness.

"Kagome-chan it's great to see you back here. Where have you been for the last couple of weeks? And what will it be?" Teuchi, the owner of the ramen stand asked. This girl and Naruto were his best customers.

"I've been away on my very first mission! Everything and anything onegai, I'm not paying, everything I eat, right now, is on my Sensei!" Kagome said with an impossibly wide grin on her face.

"Alright no problem, oh Naruto-kun has been coming here almost every single night complaining about something. He's been busy doing, in his words, 'lame' missions around the village. He has become a lot more mature ever since he became a shinobi. You have too," Teuchi said while stirring his big pot of booth. "So are you ready to eat Kagome-chan?"

"Un! I skipped breakfast so I could eat even more and I came here right after my squad completed the mission!" Her stomach gurgled loudly to confirm what she had said. Soon the first of many bowls were placed in front of her.

"Oh Kami…." Ebisu groaned his glasses teetering at the end of his nose he slowly turned to the Sandaime who had come to verify the kekkei genkai in Kagome's eyes. "I promised to pay for all the ramen she could eat."

"Oh? There goes your entire paycheck from the mission," Sarutobi said chuckling as they got closer to the girl continued to slurp away at her bowl of noodles after choking on a mouthful while devouring it. "Kagome-chan, could I borrow you for a moment? Come over here onegai."

"Hai Hokage-sama," She said adding another empty bowl to the dangerously tall stack. Sliding off the seat she went back around the ramen stand were the Sandaime had gone. "I hope Ebisu-sensei brought enough money to pay for all my ramen. So why are we behind here? Naru-kun says you're a giant ecchi da [pervert] and he can defeat you using his sexy no jutsu. You're not going to do anything perverted to me are you?"

"…Iie," He said his eye violently twitching. They were behind the stand to get privacy from nosy villagers. Quickly he regained his composure. He had come to see if this girl really possessed the Uchiha clan trait. "I want you to send charka to your eyes."

"Ano, do I just make chakra appear in my hand then place my hand over my eyes? Or do I cover my eyes and then do it that way? It doesn't seem safe. Should I really be putting chakra into my eye balls?" Kagome asked holding up her right hand, palm facing up looking at the Hokage not knowing which way she was supposed to do it. 'Why is his eye so twitchy?'

'She really doesn't know-?' Sarutobi let out a puff of air from his lungs. "When sending chakra to your eyes I don't mean by using your hand. I believe you're supposed to close your eyes and let your chakra flow to your eyes." He watched as she shut her eyes tights and screwed up her face trying to do as he said.

"Anything?" She asked in a hopeful tone even though nothing felt different. Maybe he would give up and she could go back to eating her bowl of noodles before they got cold.

"Iie, try again." He told her patiently 'maybe this is Ebisu-san's way of trying to get back at me for placing her on his team in the first place. Hmmm that doesn't sound like him though. He would rather lecture me about it, then I'd have to tune him out, but then he would lecture me about not paying attention to why he was lecturing in the first place.' A sigh escaped his thin wrinkled lips.

"Uh…."

"Here watch my hands." Sarutobi formed the sign of Tora [Tiger] he could definitely see something flicker in her eyes. It was unfortunate that three days ago he had sent Kakashi along with team seven on a C class protection mission. Since Naruto had been ever so persistent on going on one. Otherwise he could have gotten the famous 'copy cat' shinobi to accompany him here.

"Wait, I think I know what to do," Her eyes closed she breathed out deep and when they snapped back open she could feel the difference and see it too. "Ebisu-sensei said that it's the Sharingan…but I thought only people like Sasuke could have it."

Sarutobi held Kagome's head between his hands and stared deeply into both her eyes. He had seen the Sharingan many times before, of course they belonged to now deceased Uchiha members….'I am certain I have seen those eyes somewhere before, but where?' He released her face and shook his head. "Indeed they do look like the Sharingan, but those white dots are unquestionably not a trait. I will be looking into this, arigato Kagome-kun, good job on your mission. If you want to, now you can go back to eating your ramen."

"So Hokage-sama you saw the kekkei genkai in her eyes didn't you?" Ebisu quietly asked as he walked over to where the Sandaime was standing. He still needed to use his crutches for the next two days even after the medic nins had healed him. The conversation took much longer than he had expected it would. Inwardly he grimaced when Kagome drove into another bowl of ramen.

"Hai, I did. Clearly she doesn't know how to control it. Once Kakashi and his team get back from their mission I will talk to him about training her. Until then continue training her as you normally would. I'm going back to the Hokage tower to do some research pertaining to this. I'll call you to my office if I need to."

"I understand Hokage-sama arigato," Ebisu said bowing the best that he could. When Kakashi came back he also wanted to talk to him. "Kagome-kun…how many bowls have you eaten?"

"Wakaranai [I don't know] but I'm really full now. Arigato for paying I'll see you tomorrow, ja ne [Bye] Teuchi-san, Ayame-san and Ebisu-sensei." Giving a small wave she hoped off the stool.

"Kagome-chan I've signed you up to do some D class missions tomorrow okay?" Ebisu told the girl whose belly hung out like a beer gut. 'After all she needs at least eight missions before I can enter her in the Chuunin exams.'

"Anytime Kagome-chan!" Teuchi and Ayame said bringing out a rolling pin and laughing insanely when they handed Ebisu the very long bill. He promptly fainted when he saw the final cost.

"Un alright see you tomorrow Ebisu-sensei!" She ran off laughing.

"There she is, alright Dai-kun let's go," Tomoki said turning back around to look at another one of the club member's that was dressed up like a girl. He wanted to do this prior to the academy graduation exam but it had taken his club a lot longer than he had expected to make the costume. Everything was worth it for Kagome-kun though. "You know what we're doing right?"

"We've practiced this so many times, of course I know." Apparently he resembled a girl more than any of the other members.

"I want to make sure nothing goes wrong," He said the plan was he was going to pretend to have a girlfriend, guys that were taken always made other girls want that guy. Then his 'girlfriend' who was actually Dai, dressed up as a girl first would bump into Kagome-kun 'accidentally' and then his 'girlfriend' would get 'her' purse stolen by another one of the members. So he would run after it and then other club members would pop out and create obstacles for him but eventually he would get the purse back and Kagome-kun would be watching and be so impressed by his heroic actions that she would squeal and jump into his arms and he would carry her off into the sunset and they'd live happily ever after. It was fool proof! "Okay, let's go!"

"Tomoki-kun you're so funny- opps I'm so sorry I didn't see you there!" Dai said using an airy high pitched voice while making kissy lips and batting his naturally long lashes. He got to touch Kagome! It was like a dream come true. She didn't look bothered when he had lightly bumped into her. Since he didn't want to accidentally put a bruise on her delicate body, since her skin was so pale and beautiful. He almost fainted because he was so close to her, but he had to stay strong out of the other twenty remaining members, he was chosen for this job.

"Oh Kagome-chan how unexpected and what a pleasant surprise to see you here," 'finally' Tomoki added in his head. He had been coming here every day for the last two weeks in hopes of seeing her. "This is my girlfriend…..don't you remember me? Tomoki? We went to the academy together. We were in the same class. I'm the president of the Kagome-chan fan club!" He turned around and cried waterfalls before regaining his composure and turning back to face her, she still looked confused.

"Uh sure?" Kagome scratched the side of her face with one finger, he did look a little familiar…

"While you two talk I have to look for something in my PURSE! Let me set it down on the ground- Oh no, Tomoki-kun that person they just stole-"

As soon as the 'thief' had grabbed the purse Kagome dropped down into a crouching position and swung her leg around knocking him off his feet. Then she leaned over the hooded person with her foot on the boy's chest preventing him from getting up if he tried to. "It's not nice to steal other people's stuff." Then she grabbed the purse back from the boy's hand and gave it back to Dai who had hearts in his eyes.

"Uh- arigato." What had happened to their extravagant plan? Dai really didn't care. Kagome looked so adorable, everything went in slow motion the way she spun around on the ground, her hair magnificently whirling around her head while her leg tripped the 'thief'. Plus she had touched the bag! He was never going to wash it.

"Don't mention it, well I'm gunna go I've got stuff to do." With that said she quickly walked away from the strange boys.

"Kagome-chan." Tomoki whined waterfalls coming out of his eyes again as he reached out a hand sobbing as he back had disappeared from view.

"Kagome-chan attacked me!" The boy still on the ground giggled while lying on the ground. He hugged his own body and squirmed around on the ground.

"I've got an idea. How about we capture her then take her back to our hideout and each of us can profess our love to her and then she can choose whoever she wants."

"I like that idea! We could use a rope to tie her up."

"How about dragging her favorite food on a string leading to our hideout?"

"We should shove her into a bag."

"How about we use a barrel?"

"Or tell her we have a kawaii injured kitten that needs her help! "

"Everyone listen up we're going to split up, you can pair up or even go in groups and whoever captures Kagome-chan first has a better chance of her accepting the person who is professing their love to her!" Tomoki ran off in the direction he saw his beloved Kagome go.

Ding. Ding.

"Welcome to the Yamanaka flower shop. We're about to close soon so if you could- oh Kagome-chan? What are you doing?" Ino asked looking up from the counter. She was working a bit because she needed the extra cash. The D class missions she was doing wasn't paying her enough money to get the newest most expensive perfume that had come out.

"Mou, those boys have been following me around all day!" After creating clones of herself she had ducked into the closest store. It just so happened to be a flower shop.

"Who?" Ino asked poking her head out the shop door to see Tomoki and his friends carrying something and running away. It was too dark out to see exactly what it was. She shrugged her shoulders and turned back to the girl who looking at the flowers. "Well they're gone now."

"Arigato," Kagome looked up from smelling a daisy. "This is a nice shop."

"Daisies stand for innocence. Yeah this is the family business." Ino said offhandedly going back to reading her magazine of latest kunoichi fashion.

"I'll make sure I come here if I ever need to buy flowers Ja ne Ino-chan."

"Ja ne Kagome-chan…" Ino sighed as the girl left. Maybe she had been wrong about her this whole time after leaving the academy Ino had time to herself to mature. Sasuke-kun was still going to be hers though. The new perfume she was going to buy was going to seal the deal for sure. It promised to attract any male that smelt it and make them fall in love with you.

"I got Kagome-chan in my bag!" The boy held up his squirming burlap bag.

"Iie! I caught her in my barrel. I poured candy into the bottom of it and saw her climb in!"

"I have her!" Another boy showed his moving cardboard box.

"Iie! I do!" This boy placed his wiggling rope cocoon on the ground.

"Guys! Hey guys listen to me! I am president of this club! Now, that I have your attention. We can't all have her but one of us must have her, no one let her out of their sight for a second. So I say that we each empty whatever we used to catch her," Tomoki dictated holding the bed sheet that was moving around a lot. "Unveil!"

All the boys emptied out each of their capturing implements a bunch of Kagome's tumbled out before disappearing with a pop. Leaving the boys to stare at an empty floor, how-? They all cried waterfalls and slumped to the floor holding tightly to each other. What had they done wrong? How could they not have captured the real Kagome? They all sobbed and screamed dramatically into the night.
