Sesshomaru stopped the car again. Everyone had fallen asleep by that time, and he needed rest too. He would have Inuyasha drive because Jaken was to short to reach the brake and gas, and he didn't want Kagome to drive his car.

 

“Sesshomaru,” Jaken questioned, “what are you doing?”

 

“Inuyasha is going to drive a few hours,” Sesshomaru answered.

 

“Did you take that up with me?” Inuyasha looked at his older brother. “What if I don't wanna drive?”

 

“You will drive unless you want that girl of yours to be hurt or even killed.”

 

“Hey don't threat Kagome!” Inuyasha half-shouted.

 

Kagome opened her eyes but no one noticed.

 

“I'm not. The woman that tried to kidnap her works with a man named Naraku. He is one of the very few demons left in the world, and he will stop at nothing to see Kagome, yourself, and a few other people in the world dead. Naraku is a very dangerous man. He has a lot of power… more than you can ever imagine. You need to protect her. She is your last hope—”

 

“Wait!” Inuyasha cut his brother off. “Why would he have to get rid of me? I don't know him, Kagome said she didn't… what would come from our deaths?”

 

“His power would increase greatly if you would die. The people on his list that dies, the more power he gets,” Sesshomaru explained. “You and your `lady friend' must stay alive.”

 

“Does he want you dead?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Yes. As well as Jaken and Rin.”

 

“Your daughter Rin? What would come from that? She couldn't be strong enough to kill this Naraku guy! She's only seven!” Inuyasha exclaimed. “That asshole is dead!”

 

Kagome pretended to wake up. She groaned and stretched. “What time is it?” she said in a fake sleepy voice.

 

“8:00,” Sesshomaru answered.

 

“OK, I'll drive. But you are in the back and so is Jaken,” Inuyasha said. “Kagome will set up here with me.”

 

“Agreed.” Sesshomaru got out of the car, and so did Kagome and Inuyasha. Kagome woke Jaken up, and he got in the back with Sesshomaru.

 

“Sesshomaru, where are we goin'?” Inuyasha asked. “How will I drive us if I don't know where we are goin'?”

 

“You will drive until we get to Chillicothe, Ohio,” Sesshomaru informed him. “From there I will drive. It won't be more than three or four hours from here.”

 

“OK.”

Kagura was about two hours from them. She knew that Sesshomaru would be in Michigan before she got to him. That was the way it had to be. She could catch him in three minutes if she wanted to, but they had to meet in Detroit, Michigan.

Kagome looked out of the window. “What about Sango and Miroku?” she asked out of the blue.

 

“What about them?”

 

“They are supposed to be with us now… I just know it.” Kagome looked at Inuyasha. “Don't you think they should be here with us?”

“I'm not sure… Sesshomaru didn't mention them on that list of Naraku's…”

 

“Yeah, but he said that there were other people on it,” Kagome pointed out. She quickly put her hand over her mouth; she knew she was `asleep' when they were talking about that.

 

“How do you know about that?” Inuyasha asked. “You were asleep when we talked about that… or at least I thought you were.”

 

“I woke up before you thought I did,” Kagome answered truthfully. “I heard about Naraku being a demon, him having a list, and that he wants us dead.”

 

“You need to know, but you don't need to eavesdrop.” Inuyasha laughed playfully.

 

“Technically I wasn't eavesdropping because you knew I was in the car when you started to talk to Sesshomaru. I could have easily been awake since before you were. Sota and Jaken could have been awake too,” Kagome said smartly.

 

Inuyasha looked at her funnily then said, “I guess you're right.”

 

Kagome smiled sweetly. “Of course I am.” She laughed.

 

“Do you think it's a coincidence that you came over to America then all this stuff started to happen?” Inuyasha asked. “Do you think someone planned it… Naraku maybe?”

 

“No, my boss gave me my tickets and stuff. Botan would never do anything like that. He couldn't be Naraku… could he?”

 

“Well none of us know what Naraku looks like… it is a possibility that he was Botan… maybe he brought you over here just to kill you,” Inuyasha reasoned. “Not that he will. I won't let him.”

 

“Thanks.”

“Kagura should be back before now,” Naraku said grumpily. “Show her to me Kanna.”

 

“Yes, Master Naraku.” Kanna got out her mirror that shows everything.

 

Naraku seen Kagura with Kagome tied up to a chair with a note on her chest that said, `Kagome will be with you in a few hours. Inuyasha is having trouble keeping up.'

 

Naraku smiled evilly. “Good. Very good.”

Kagura was still following Inuyasha closely. She never moved her eyes away from the SUV. Soon. Very soon.

“Sis,” Sota said, “I'm starved!”

 

“I'll stop at the next Burger King.” Inuyasha took a right.

 

“Thanks!” Sota exclaimed.

 

Sesshomaru was awake, and Jaken was still asleep. It was just a little bit longer until they got to Chillicothe. Sota and Kagome stopped fighting because they were both awake with all their sleep for the day in.

 

“I will drive now,” Sesshomaru offered.

 

“Nah, I got it.”

 

Jaken woke up.

 

“Little brother, I will drive now.”

 

“I said I got it.”

 

“You let your brother drive now!” Jaken shouted. “Don't talk to him like that!”

 

Kagome turned around to Jaken. “You better shut up, you freakin' toad lookin' midget!”

 

“Go Kagome!” Sota cheered.

 

Jaken shut up right away.

 

“Good job Kagome!” Inuyasha joined in on the cheering. “He really needed to shut up!”

 

Jaken opened his mouth to argue, but stopped when Kagome glared at him. If he was a dog he would have ran away with his tail between his legs.

 

“Wow! He shuts up better for you then he does for Sesshomaru!” Inuyasha exclaimed.

 

True to his word, Inuyasha stopped at Burger King for Sota. “Who all is hungry?”

 

Everyone but said “me” but Jaken; he raised his hand. Inuyasha laughed at him then said, “Tell me what you want Jaken.”

 

Jaken held up two fingers.

 

“Is that a ham salad from some gas station? I guess so.” Inuyasha knew that Jaken hated ham salad.

 

Jaken shook his head furiously. He held up two fingers again.

 

“Spinach and peas? Are you on a diet or something?”

 

Jaken sighed. He held up two fingers, then put his hand out flat to indicate paper, then moved his hand like he had a pencil.

 

“He wants pencil and paper,” Sota said.

 

Jaken shook his head.

 

“Here.” Sota handed him Kagome's notepad and pink pen.

 

Jaken wrote `I want a number two with onion rings and a Coke (A/N: EWWWW COKE! I don't like Coke!).' He handed it to Inuyasha.

 

“OK. What does everyone else want?”

 

He wrote down their orders and then went in to get them.

 

A few minutes later he came out with two bags and a kids meal and the drinks. “A Whopper and a Cherry Coke for Sesshomaru. A Whopper and a Cherry Coke for Sota. A Chicken Whopper and a Dr. Pepper for Kagome. A Whopper and a Mellow Yellow for me. And a kids meal with water for Jaken.”

 

Kagome tried to stifle a giggle, Sota busted out laughing, and Sesshomaru hid all signs of emotion, even though he was laughing inside.

 

Jaken looked pissed. He was pissed. Why would Inuyasha get him a kids meal and not that brat Sota? Jaken wasn't going to eat it; he was going to waste it. Why should he have to eat that sniff of meal? He had a bigger appetite than that brat brother of Kagome's. Inuyasha must have been showing off for that girl. Sesshomaru would do something about this… wouldn't he?

 

“Do not drop food in here,” Sesshomaru said looking pointedly at Jaken.

 

“Is Jaken messy?” Kagome asked.

 

“Very. I think that it was a good idea he got a kids meal. And water does not stain so he will not get that in my car either.”

 

“We are in Chillicothe, so if you wanna drive now, you can Sesshomaru.”
