~Chapter 8~

~*!~The Search~!*~

Kagome slips her hand into Inuyasha's hand as they walk towards Keade's hut. Inuyasha stops in his tracks just as they were about to leave the little clearing and sniffs the air.

"What is it Inuyasha?" Kagome asks. She releases his hand and looks around, hoping to spot whatever he could smell and probably hear.

"Be quiet!" Inuyasha orders her. He strained to hear any noise what so ever that would indicate where the demon was.

There was a rustling in the nearby bushes as a rabbit burst from it's hiding spot and ran right passed Kagome. It brushed against her leg. A high-pitched scream came to an abrupt silence.

"Oi! Wench! Think you could be any louder!?!" Inuyasha says angrily as he removes his hand from Kagome's mouth.

"Sorry Inuyasha but something brushed against my leg and it scared me!" Came Kagome's heated response. She continues towards the village, leaving Inuyasha alone in the clearing.

Inuyasha stays right where he was. There was something in the clearing, he could smell it, but he couldn't tell just what it was. He could faintly pick out Sango's, Miroku's and Kirara's cold scent trails. Shippo's and Keade's were there too but theirs was even harder to pick out. All five scent trails were hard to follow. They crisscrossed each other plus there was another, unfamiliar trail in there too. Inuyasha was only able to follow the trails only so far before they vanished into oblivion.

Eventually Inuyasha gave up and went to Keade's hut.

Keade's hut was completely empty when he reached it. There were no sighs that Kagome had ever even reached the small, one room house, let alone of any of the others having been there within the passed few hours.

Inuyasha back tracks to the clearing with the well in it and began to follow Kagome's scent, which was still relatively fresh enough to follow.

*~*~*~*~*

Shippo was still alone in the forest. He was beginning to get really scared now. He even would have liked to have Inuyasha around just so he wouldn't be alone anymore.

There was a rustling coming from a nearby bush and out steps a young girl. She was a little taller then Shippo, had black hair, black fox ears and a fluffy black tail. She jumps in surprise when she sees Shippo and dives back into the bushes.

Shippo stands there in shock. He blinks a few times, trying to comprehend what had just happened. "Um, hello?" Shippo asks as he walks cautiously up to the bush that the young kitsune had hidden in. "My name's Shippo, what's yours?" He continues.

"Chiyo" The girl replies shyly.

Miroku sets his staff down in the mud. It was balanced perfectly on a stone. Now is the time to decide where we should go to get out of this place. He places his hand on the center of the staff and gives it one good spin.

"Miroku, what are you doing?" Sango asks. She had been watching him the whole time. Kirara had fallen asleep in her arms.

"I'm trying to decide which way might possibly lead us out of this place Lady Sango" Miroku replies as the staff slows to a stop. It pointed directly behind them when it had come to a complete stop. "I guess we'll go that way then" Miroku states as he stands up, picking his staff up in the process.

"Are you sure that way will lead out Miroku?" Sango asks, worry clear in her voice.

"Budha willed my staff to point that way so that way is the way I believe will lead us out of here and safely home" Miroku replies. He walks passed her and as he did so he gave her butt and affectionate grope.

*WHACK!*

"HENTAI!" Sango exclaims as her giant boomerang came in contact with our favorite monk's skull. She stomped off in the direction that Miroku's staff had pointed.

Miroku lay, still dazed from her blow, on the ground.

"Are you coming or not Hentai?" Sango calls over her shoulder to him. When he doesn't respond she wakes Kirara up and sends her to go get him.

Kagome woke up hours later to find herself in Koga's wolf den. She was lying on a bed of animal pelts. There were a few of Koga's pack nearby but they didn't notice that she had woken up. They were discussing what had been going on the past few days with all the disappearances and such.

Kagome sighs. Great! Just what I need, another fight between Koga and Inuyasha. She scans the remaining wolf demons for Koga and sighs with relief when she sees that he wasn't there., or at least she thought…

*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha followed Kagome's scent until it came up to another very familiar, very unwelcome scent. "Koga!" Inuyasha growls angrily to himself. He races off in the direction of Koga's den.
