6: Encounter


The group had camped out by the stream where Kagome was last supposed to be. Inuyasha has been sniffing the ground for any sign of Kagome. 'Damn, where could she be?' Getting up and dusting off dirt he goes over to his friends with upsetting news. "I can't seem to get a hold of her sent. It goes from that point, " pointing to the river, "to that tree, then disappears. There's no telling what could have happened." Falling to the floor cross legged, Inuyasha worries. 'What could have happened to her?'

"Inuyasha her sent went this way correct?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Well lets go that direction and see if you can find something." Miroku gets up from his position from sitting on a rock. "It's better than sitting doing nothing, this way we have a better chance of at least finding any trace of her." Everyone quickly nods at the monks thinking. Everyone's up in a flash running in the pointed direction.

Unknown to everyone that two pairs of crimson eyes watch there every move. 'So the Miko is missing? Interesting. Maybe I'll hold this little bit of information for myself, in the mean time..' Looking over towards the west, our unknown stalker heads for Sesshoumaru's castle. 'Let us see what our beloved taiyoukai is up too these days.'



Reaching the borders of the western lands, Sesshoumaru descends his energy cloud. Kagome jumps off the cloud, a little shaken from the ride through the sky. Regaining her composure she walks the path she remembers taking.

A while of walking in silence, Kagome sences a jewel shard approaching her. Stiffening, preparing for a battle, she reaches instinctively behind her for her bow and arrows. Realizing she has neither, she turns to look for Sesshoumaru. 'He's not here!' Searching franticly for him, the demon approaches Kagome. It's a lion demon. Golden mane and longe fangs, it's form is normal, but it's huge!

Speaking to Kagome through her mind he says, "You posses jewel shard, give them to me and I shall kill you quickly." Kagome, not knowing what to do, runs.

'Damn Sesshoumaru where'd you go!' She knows that running only makes things worse, but who wants to just sit still and wait for their death?

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango's boomerang is seen flying through the air aiming for the lion. Hitting the lion on the right shoulder, coming back to land on the left, the lion roars in protest and stops its pursuit. Emerging from the woods, Kagome's friends make it in time to save her.

So happy to see them that she runs towards her group. "Inuyasha, it has a shard on its forehead!" Unsheathing the Tetsaiga, Inuyasha releases a powerful blast aimed straight for the head. The demon, tries desperately to escape the blast's path, fails, Tetsaiga's power reaches its target. The lion lay dead on the floor. Kagome walks to the lions corps and purifies the lone jewel.

Inuyasha sheaths Tetsaiga, and walks back to the group. Upon seeing Kagome not in her normal uniform stares shocked at what he sees. Kagome, wearing a tight fitting red kimono, Inuyasha tries to hide his surprise with anger, "What in the seven hells are you wearing Kagome!?" Pointing a finger at said girl, all the group stare dumb at there friend.

Miroku first to gather himself, walks towards Kagome, "My, Lady Kagome, what a lovely attire you have on. Tell me where on earth did you get it?" Kagome too happy to see her friends, lets down her guard on the monk. Feeling a brush to her butt Kagome intakes a deep breath and yells, "Hentai!" Hand meeting Miroku's face.

That normal gesture has everyone's shock dissipate. "Kagome!" Shippo jumps into Kagome's arms. She hugs her little kit tightly in his arms.

"Kagome, where have you been? You weren't at the stream and I couldn't find you and Inuyasha couldn't sense you and I was so worried!." Sango was holding back tears from seeing her sister again.

"Come on guys, I was only gone a day." Kagome is laughing at her sister like friend and how every one is worried about her.

"Wench! You didn't answer me. WHERE IN THE SEVEN HELLS DID YOU GET SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!" Inuyasha is fuming. Kagome's outfit is not something he wants others to see her in. Kagome was meant for his eyes only. The way she looks in that, she'll have every man wanting her.

"Nice to see you too Inuyasha." She just keeps smiling at him, it only shows he cares.

Sesshoumaru has been waiting in the side lines, he had sensed that the hanyou was near and didn't feel up to having to deal with his hot-headed brother. He wanted to see what she would do now that she was exposed to her friends. 'Will she come back and treat Rin? Or will she stay and forget about what she promised.' He was worried, but didn't show, that she would leave him and stay with her group. Sure Rin's condition wasn't life threatening, she said so herself, but he didn't want her to go. At least not yet. Sesshoumaru waited patiently for the out come of her visit.

Kagome remembering what she came for, went towards Inuyasha. She stuck out her hand and asked, "Can I have my bag please?" He gives it to her without second guessing. Putting her overly stuffed bag on her back, she continues walking in the direction of the blue ivy.

Everyone looks at her, "Where are you going Kagome?" Shippo asks from her shoulder.

Looking at him, she places him on the floor. "I'll be gone for a while, ok?" To Inuyasha she says, "I got something I need to do. I'm not sure when I'll be back." Walking from her group, she sees the tree with the ivy and blue flower. 'Did I need the ivy or the flower?' Thinking back she takes the stem and the flower.


A/N: Ok, I know I promised you all that I'd give you this chapter on monday, but I was tired and settling in to my new room. I was still jet lagged on Monday so I didn't really do anything. I forgot just about all the important stuff back home at Texas so my dad's gonna have to send it. Thank you Christaintails and Kitkat2919 for the reviews. Both of you corrected me on my mistake of misspelling Sango's name. Thanks for the correction. Here's that chapter I was over due with hope you enjoy. Bye-bye
