When the gas station came into sight multiple hours later, Mama opened the door and before she could set foot on ground, Souta had scrambled across her lap jumping onto the ground. Running over to the door he paused, looking back at his mom.
 
“Come on Mama! Hurry up!” He called out. Mama smiled at this. Obviously he was excited for Kagome too. Hopefully the whole situation won't end up with Souta needing psychiatric care.
 
“I'm coming!” She called back. Quickly stretching her legs a bit, she followed Souta and the cops into the mini mart. Seeing only a young woman at the counter, and a few customers in the back, she walked over to the counter along with the cops with Souta lagging behind her.
 
“Are you Kari Hatchu?” One of the cops asked her. Receiving a nod, he continued. “I understand that you claim to have spotted Miss Higurashi, care to describe her?”
 
Nodding nervously, Kari spoke. “Well, she was about my height, looked around 17, pretty skinny too. She was wearing what I think was her school uniform, which was weird since this gas station isn't really that close to any schools. She had long, black wavy hair that probably reached to her back. Umm… I think that's it.”
 
The cop turned to face Mama. When she nodded to confirm that it sounded a lot like Kagome, the cop faced Kari again.
 
“Well, it seems that she is Ms. Higurashi, so if you don't mind we would to ask you a few questions. First off, could you close the mart so we can launch an investigation? I need a name of everyone that bought gas today. Ms. Hatchu, please follow me for questioning; you too Ms. Higurashi.” Walking to a more private place with the two women following, he stopped and pulled out two folding chairs. “Have a seat.” (Let's just say he had the chairs and brought them with him, and they were at the mini-mart.) He faced Mama first. “Ms. Higurashi, please follow along with what Ms. Hatchu answers.” Turning to face Kari he began the questioning.
 
“Ms. Hatchu, did Ms. Higurashi have strange behavior? Like she was isolating herself from everyone else perhaps?”
 
“Actually, she did. When she came in, she was walking at a fast pace, as if she was in a hurry. She didn't really look at anyone now that I think of it, and she ran off before accepting her change.” The cop nodded at this.
 
“Change? Does that mean she paid in cash?” Receiving a nod he continued. “What was it that she bought?”
 
“Um, she bought two bags of chips, sour cream and onion I think, and a pack of gum.”
 
Mama spoke up. “What exactly does that mean?” She asked. The cop faced her again.
 
“What it means, ma'am, is that it is more proof that your daughter was kidnapped. Sometimes, a kidnapper will allow the victim to go out and buy something, food, water, whatever. They will threaten the victim to have no contact with anyone, no looking at anyone, and no talking to anyone, or else they will take it painful, usually killing them.” Mama gasped. Someone threatened her daughter? How horrible! Of course, so was the whole situation.
 
Kari just sat in shock. She felt so bad, here she thought that the girl-Kagome- was being rude, but she was just protecting her life. She didn't even try and help the poor girl. Her conscience was having a major guilt trip. After some more questions, the cops turned them both loose and offered to bring Mama and Souta back. Mama quickly thanked Kari for her help before following the cop.

Inuyasha ran into the house as soon as he exited the well, but frowned when he smelled that the only person there was the old man. Walking into the house, he frowned even more when he saw a small piece of paper with writing on it. Skimming through the message, he didn't know whether to feel happy or upset. He thought he should be happy because it could really help find Kagome, or so that's what the note said, or sad because he didn't help at all yet. He decided that he should put away his selfish side, finding Kagome is much more important. He was about to head out and wait for Mama and Souta, when he suddenly sniffed them. They were in one of those car things, with a man that was dressed up in the front seat next to Mama. He was going to have to ask Mama to explain everything to him, he didn't really know much. Waiting for about 10 more minutes, he heard the front door open and heard Souta's excited chatter, that seemed more like he was talking AT Mama, rather then to her. Wondering what could make Souta so happy at a time like this, he walked over to the front door.
 
“Inuyasha! Hello there, we just got back, I suppose you want me to explain it to you?” Upon hearing that Inuyasha was here, Souta instantly shut up and turned his head so he was facing Inuyasha.
 
“Inuyasha!” He cried to his hero. Inuyasha only nodded. He was still a bit confused, the family wasn't acting like Kagome was gone, they were just acting like she was at the feudal era with him or something, not like she was gone as in missing. It seemed…. Unusual. Seeing his expression, Mama came to the rescue.
 
“Souta, why don't you go to your room and find something to do. Inuyasha and I need to talk about what happened and what not. Try not to disturb us.” Seeing that his mother meant business, he walked up the stairs to his room murmuring something about trying out the new video game he got a couple days ago. Sighing, Mama led Inuyasha to the kitchen and pulled out a chair for him to sit on.
 
Starting back at the beginning, she told him everything that happened.
