Chapter 296: Eclectic
adj. selecting or choosing from various sources; not following any one system.

Kagome had had to awkwardly extract herself from a group hug that Gai had forced upon her and the two younger ninjas outside of the Hospital before she was free to look for Gaara. She had spent the rest of the day wandering around Konoha stopping once to return to her hotel room where she packed a bag of supplies for the search.
Through her trek she began the delicate process of discretely depositing Protecting and Strengthening seals on buildings that seemed vital to the infrastructure of Konoha's intervillage runnings. She was unashamed to note that she had placed nearly three fourths of her overstocked seals around the residential districts alone.
A number of times a shadow would catch her eye and would she whip around to see what was hanging above her. She had been hoping to spot a familiar floating eyeball (the same that had been wont to monitor her in Suna) but was disappointed time and again to see it was only a crow or a cat or a toad at various times throughout the day.
(If she stopped to think of it, she would probably have been surprised at the number of toads she had seen.)
