Back at the castle Ayame talked Kagome into taking a walk down to the lake. She promised that this would help her forget all about the problems in the world without the hang over in the morning. Kagome reluctantly decided to follow instead of being dragged by Ayame. `Damn forceful wolves.' Kagome thought.

When they arrived Kagome noticed that the lake was surrounded by females of all kinds. They appeared to be in some kind of trance staring at the lake. Kagome turned to Ayame and noticed that the wolf had taken a seat next to the lake also. Kagome shrugged and sat beside her friend thinking or hoping rather it was just some type of meditation.

A few moments later a song floated on the air and bright multi colored fireflies danced high above the waters illuminating the area. The scene was so tranquil that Kagome did indeed forget all about her worries. She sat beside her strangely silent friend.

“This is really nice.” Kagome smiled at her friend.

“Pfft, You think this is nice wait till the show starts.” Ayame smiled

“Show?” Kagome asked just as the music took on a stronger bass line.

Then the water started to ripple causing Kagome to look back at the lake. She was a little startled when men shot into the air from the water. They had long sleek hair, chests glistening with water beads…and fins. Ayame laughed at the stone pillar that Kagome had become as she stared at the seductive mermen in front of her.

“Hello beauty, I have not seen you here before.” A dark hair, teal eyed merman said as swam closer to the women.

Kagome sat frozen with her mouth open for a couple more minutes.

“Ah no, I just …I just.”

“She just came over from the other side.” Ayame finished for her.

Kagome's eyes popped wide when he slithered out of the water to sit beside her. She also regained her ability to process coherent thoughts. `He has no thing.'

“Oh, I have a thing. Let me dry off and I will show you it.” He said waggling a brow.

Kagome's eyes furrowed as she kept staring at the tail. “Did you just read my thoughts?”

He gave her a rueful smile. “Just one of my many talents.”

She was about to ask him what the other talents were when he abruptly flipped back into the water. Kagome turned to see what had scared the merman off. When she saw Kouga she was half tempted to jump into the lake for safety also. Kouga did not look happy with her at all.

Kagome gave a wavering smile to scowling king. “Hey, so how exactly do you have electric on this side?” She asked in attempts to get his mind off what he just saw.

Lucky for her Ayame's cell went off playing “What does the fox say?”

“Shippou, what information did you get… Okay, let me tell the others and I will call you back with how we will handle it.” Ayame said ignoring the now shouting couple.

She looked up at her mate and gave a nod as she shut her phone. “We know where he is.”

Both Kagome and Kouga stopped ranting and looked to Ayame. Kouga looked to Kagome and observed how her face lit up at the news. He turned and started walking back to the castle. Kagome frowned and gave chase to him.

“We will be leaving in the morning.” Sesshomaru said to his mate.

Ayame's eyes glittered in excitement.

“I just knew that if Kagome was around things would get exciting.”

“Exciting, That is one word to describe it.” Sesshomaru sighed

Ayame laughed and walked over to give her mate a hug.

“Awe what's the matter with my old dog.”

“Old dog?” Sesshomaru questioned and then quickly grabbed his mate and tossed her over his shoulder. “This dog will show you how virile he still is” he said swatting her ass.

“Hey, I was just joking.” Ayame giggled, but did little to free herself.

“Hn”

Meanwhile, along a deserted road in the middle of nowhere a now tired, sweaty and human Kagura trudged along towards a town. She sang a song aloud to the cold crisp air. One that seemed to fit the journey she was undertaking.

“Maybe you wonder where you are

I don't care

Here is where time is on our side

Take you there...take you there

We're on a road to nowhere

We're on a road to nowhere

We're on a road to nowhere

There's a city in my mind

Come along and take that ride

and it's all right, baby, it's all right

And it's very far away

But it's growing day by day

And it's all right, baby, it's all right

They can tell you what to do

But they'll make a fool of you

And it's all right, baby, it's all right

We're on a road to nowhere

She was just about to pass out when a car pulled up along side her. She heard the window slide down.

“Hey, you need a ride.” A male voiced called out.

Kagura shook her head. “No thank you, but I am not getting into a car with a stranger. You could be some psycho and believe me when I say I have had a life time of psychos.”

Brakes slammed on the car and she heard the door open. She wanted to run, but her body was barely able to walk. She sighed and looked at the man. Tall with red hair and green eyes, the kit had grown. “Just the fox I was looking for.”

“Kagura?” Shippou asked walking over to the now human smelling witch.

“Do you think you could do something for me?” Kagura asked.

Shippou was not sure how to answer, but nodded anyway. “Kay, what do you want?”

“Catch me.” Kagura replied and started to fall to the ground. Shippou had of course caught her with his demon speed. He walked with her in his arms to the car and placed her in the back seat. “This is going to be a hell of a reunion.”
