Once back at camp, Sango finally filled them in on what they had learned in the village.
"Sanai's castle is not far from here, we should be able to make it there in only a few yours," Miroku said as he massaged the lump on his head.
"I think we should stay here tonight then, and head out tomorrow morning," Sango added.
"Yeah, I agree," Inuyasha looked at Kagome. He was surprised at how well she had done for her first time really fighting, and he was certain everything would go fine tomorrow.
"Yeah, ok, but right now, I'm starved," Kagome said reaching for her bag.
"Me too," Shippo yelled, beating Kagome to her bag and pulling out some ramen noodles.
Kagome laughed as she took the ramen from the kitsune and started to prepare their meal. Inuyasha couldn't help but smile, not only did he love it when Kagome smiled, but now she was making him ramen.

The next morning Inuyasha woke Kagome early and took her back to the field they had been in the day before.
"Inuyasha are we going a to fight some more?" Kagome yawned half way through her sentence," I really don't think I'm awake enough for that."
"We're going to do something different today," Inuyasha said, "sit down."
Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and sat down just as he did.
"Close your eyes," Inuyasha said quietly, "try not to think about anything, just listen to what's around you."
Kagome did as he said, no sure why, but after a minute or two, she began to understand. She could hear the forest around them. She could hear the trees moving, the birds and their lovely morning song, the slight trickle of water, possible a near by creek or spring, and all sorts of creatures going about their lives. With her mind cleared, she realized she was also picking up all sorts of smells. She smelt the tress, the flowers, and a nearby hot spring. She had realized that her senses had improved since her change, but they had all been a big jumbled mess. This was the first time she had really been able to distinguish the different smells and sounds.
Inuyasha smiled, as he watched the expressions on Kagome's face change as she used her newly heightened senses. At first he had been skeptical, but now he thought her being a hanyou may actually be a good thing. He was glad that now he could share all of this with her. He could teach her all about being half demon. He didn't feel so ashamed about being a hanyou, now that he got to share it with Kagome.
Kagome pushed all of this new smells and sounds aside as the most marvelous fragrant hit her nose. She couldn't explain the smell other than it was just, wonderful. She moved closer to the smell.
"Uh...Kagome?" Inuyasha said, backing away from her a little.
Kagome opened her eyes and realized that the smell was Inuyasha.
"You...you smell so unbelievably incredible," Kagome said.
"Huh....I do?" Inuyasha said. No one had ever said anything like that to him before.
"Yeah," Kagome replied, blushing, she couldn't believe that she had actually said that.
The two stared at each other for a few minutes in silence before Inuyasha finally looked away.
"I think we should head back before the others get worried," Inuyasha stood up and offered his hand to Kagome.
"Is that them I hear moving around," Kagome asked, allowing him to help her up.
"Yeah, they're starting to wake up, let's go," he said looking in the direction of the camp.

After breakfast the group headed in the direction of Sanai's castle. They had been traveling for a couple of hours before the castle came into sight. This had to be the place, Inuyasha could smell a scent similar to Kagome's, it must be her father. They came to the man gate, which had a black star across the doors.
"Get ready guys, cause' here we go!" Inuyasha yelled as he broke down the doors.
Before them a women stood with her staff pointed directly at them.
"Did you expect your attack to be a surprise? Do you really think you could catch me off guard? I heard you coming before you even reached my gate. Who are you and what business do you have with me?" Sanai questioned the group.
"We've come to free Lord Taiken," Miroku spoke up.
'This girl, is she a hanyou? Her features are so similar to Taiken's. Is she the one I've been searching for?' Sanai thought, she hadn't heard a word Miroku said, and was now staring at Kagome.
"You..girl, who are you? What concern do you have with my prisoner?" Sanai directed her question to Kagome.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi, and your prisoner just happens to be my father," Kagome snapped back.
"So you are the daughter of that mortal bitch who seduced Taiken and stole him from me," Sanai turned her staff on Kagome, "Finally, I can be rid of you."
"No one speaks about my mom that way," Kagome yelled preparing to jump at the sorceress, just as a blast of fire was shot at her from Sanai's staff.
Inuyasha dove in front of the flame and blocked the attack with the tetsuseiga.
"I have no business with you mutt, step aside so I can take care of that filthy half breed," Sanai snarled at Inuyasha.
"You won't lay a finger on Kagome as long as I'm around," He yelled back.
"I guess it really is rude of me not to entertain all of my guests," Sanai held her staff upright and closed her eyes. The orb on the end glowed red as she summoned a small army in front of her.
Her servants began attacking Inuyasha and the others, leaving Kagome along. Sanai sent another blast of fire at Kagome. She dodged the attack easily.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, trying to help her, but Sanai's servants wouldn't allow it. Every time he killed one, they just reappeared.
Kagome dodged all of Sanai's attacks, but she was never able to get close enough to hit back. She tried shooting her with her arrows, but they burst into flames every time they got close. Kagome began to panic; the others couldn't help her now. She was on her own. Suddenly, she knew just what to do. Kagome closed her eyes, and crossed her wrists above her head. She then thrust her arms forward, keeping her wrists together.
"Flames of Destiny!" Kagome cried as purple flames sprang forward from her hands.
Sanai put up a wall of fire in an attempt to block the attack, but it wasn't enough to stop it. She screamed as the orb on her staff began to crack before her very eyes. Kagome watched as Sanai disappeared in flames, along with her servants. She stood there, trying to catch her breath as her friends came up behind her.
"You did it Kagome," Sango said, placing a hand on her friends shoulder.
"No, she got away," Kagome said, "she escaped before her staff was completely destroyed, but at least I was able to crack it."
"So what now? Do we go after her?" Miroku asked.
"How can we, we don't know where she went," Inuyasha had just walked up behind Kagome.
"Lets just go find my dad and get out of here," Kagome said as she walked towards the entrance of the castle.
A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. I've had this chapter written and I thought that I had already posted it. Then today, I went to go check and see where I had left off, so I knew where to start typing chapter 6(its about half done right now) and I realized that I hadn't even typed it yet. Anyways, I hope you guys liked this chapter. I tried to make it longer. I'll hopefully get chapter 6 up in the next day or two. Please review, and feel free to give me suggestions on what should happen next.
