“Inuyasha! Here it comes!”, Miroku yells out throwing his scroll at a giant Ram demon coming up from the ground.

“Ha-aff!”, Dodging Miroku’s scrolls, Jakuwa headed toward an unconscious Kagome.

“Kagome! Hiraikotsu!”, Sango yelled throwing her boomerang.

Jakuwa used its horns the defend against her demon bone, and continued to charge for Kagome; Inuyasha jumped in front of her insentient body, “Wind-Scar!.”

“CaaaFff?”, Jakuwa’s eyes widened and quickly tried to dodged his blow but couldn’t move in time, and was destroyed.

Sighing, Sango tried relaxing, “That was the fifth demon that attacked us today.”

Shippo jumped on Kagome’s lap and began to wake her up, “Kagome!"

Grunting silently, Kagome slowly lifted herself up, rubbing her head.

“Are you okay Kagome?”, Shippo asked her.

“I think so.”, She replied.

“Now, What happened?”

“You and Sango were looking for wood, I guess the demon caught you by surprise, and threw you against the tree.”, Miroku explained.

Standing up, she rubbed the back of her head, “Oh yeah now I remember…”, she look at her hand to spot any sign of blood, “I didn’t want to bring my bows and arrows.”

“Ha.”, Inuyasha place his sword back in it’s sheath, “It’s that kinda of idiotic mistake that put you in danger in the first place.”, Inuyasha told Kagome.

Jumping up at his comment, “What do you mean by idiotic?!”, Kagome yelled at him obviously upset.

“She’s fine.”, Sango smiled.

“I mean! You should start thinking for once!”, Inuyasha yelled back.

“And sadly so is Inuyasha.”, Shippo added.

“Insensitive Jerk! Oooo! You don’t care about anyone but yourself.”, Kagome exclaimed.

Going unnoticed by the group, a tornado zoomed by them and landed.

“Your really getting on my nerves, Kago--”, Inuyasha was interrupted by his head being shoved into the ground as two feet stomped over him, “Hey Kagome.”, Koga greeted her with a flower, to give to her.

Taking the flower unsteadily, she said, “Um, Thank you Koga.”

“Grr!”, Inuyasha hopped up having Koga jump off his head, “Koga.”, He growled angrily, spitting out dirt.

Looking at the half-demon, thoroughly, “Trying out a new look mutt? It’s looks good on you.”

“Your one to talk!”, He snarled.

“Oh no”, Sango said desperately.

“Not again.”, Kagome let out.

Shippo looked up at Miroku and poked him, “This ones all yours Miroku.”

“E-hem Now now lets not fight in front such beautiful women.”, Miroku said gesturing Kagome and Sango.

Inuyasha childishly looked around him, “Beautiful women where?”.

Thus getting Inuyasha a foot deep underground.

Xxxxxxxx

Shippo nibbled on his pieces of pocky, “Thanks Kagome.”

Inuyasha sulked in the tree.

Miroku harassed Sango with his interest of her body.

Kagome lifted her bag, her legs leaning on the inward well, “Your welcome”, She smiled, “Well, I’m off.”

“Yeah, Yeah just be back in two days.”, Inuyasha told her plainly.

“I’ll be back in four… so don’t follow me”, She jumped the well ignoring any comments he may want to make.

“Women.”, he said in a annoyed way.

Xxxxxx

“Mom! I’m home!”, Kagome yelled opening the sliding door.

“……..”

No responds.

“Mom?.… Souta?…. Grandpa?… Anyone?”, She asked moving from room to room.

“…….”

Still no responds.

Kagome walked up toward her room and closed the door behind her.

"Meow.", Buyo purred at her feet with a note tapped to his back.

"Oh, Buyo", She lifted him to get him something to eat, "Fat cat.", She laughed.

Dear Kagome, Me, Souta and Grandpa are out on a trip for souta's school, we both chaperoned we'll be back in two days.

Love, Mom

“The day I come home and they aren’t even here.”, Pouted Kagome.

She glanced at the clock noticing it’s about five o’clock , “Well, Eri, Ayumi and Yuka should be out by now, I guess I should call them.”

As if on cue…

Riiiing

Riiing

Riii--

She picked up the phone, “Moshi Moshi?”

“…..”, Kagome heard no voices on the other line of the phone, “Moshi Moshi...?"

Dial tone....

She hung up the phone, "That's weird".

"Oh well", She said dialing Yuka's Number.

"Moshi Moshi?", a female voice said.

"Hi Yuka."

"Kagome? You should be in bed, Are you alright?", she asked franticalty.

"Yuka, I'm.. feeling better and I was wondering if you guys wanted to hang out."

"Oh, sure, Ayumi's Here with me", a sound of russles came from the phone.

"Hi kagome!", She heard Eri say.

"And I'll call Eri, okay so will see you in Ten?", Yuka told her getting back on the phone.

"Yeah. I'll be at WacDonalds", She told them cheerfully, "See ya".

"See ya, Kagome.", They both exclaimed.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sipping her Soy milk fruit juice, Kagome looks down at her lap as her friends continue to stare at her, "What?"

Eri looked at her seriously, "Don't play Koi-fish with us"

"Yeah", Ayumi agreed.

"Tell us about the Boyfriend!", Yuka included.

They nodded in unison.

"Um.. Not much has changed , He's still a Controlling, Loud-mouthed, Self-absorbed, Two-timing Jerk, you know the same.", she sipped her soy milk casually.

"Then, why are you still with him?", Yuka exclaimed.

"Yeah, Hojo is a much better choice."

'Love conques all'. Ayumi thought smiling.

"Guys!", she stopped them, "I--!"

"Hello, Kagome"

"Huh!", alarmed, felt a chill go down her back as she knew who was behind her.

Turning around she put on a annoyed smile, "Hi Hojo"

"I am very glad to see you back on your feet, how is your pinkeye doing, because I got you this", He rummaged through his backpack and took out a orange looking medicine, "Rub this on you face it with be good as new", he handed it toward her, smiling.

Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi all looked at Kagome thinking the same thing, 'Aww he was worried about you'

"Thank you, Hojo", she smiled, "But I don't need it anymore..."

'I never needed it', She thought annoyed.

After breafly talking to hojo, he finally decided to leave, "Bye hojo."

"Bye Hojo", Yuka and Ayumi yelled.

Eri sipped her drink, "You can guess but I never tell"

"Eri! At lease tell us... did he kiss you at all?"

"I don't Kiss and tell.", she laughed.

Kagome stood up, "Well I guess I'll be leaving."

Yuka grabbed her arm, "But dont you want to know, if he-"

"No more, I uhh really have to go home."

"Kagome. Your nervous."

"Are we making you uncomfortable?"

"Uhh, no why would think that?"

"You know little miss Good girl, Kagome", Yuka commented.

"Hey I'm not... that good... i guess..."

"Completely and utterly"

"Yup"

"Your just too nice and Innocent."

"Yeah."

"Kudasai! Honto ichi Sake!"

Kagome gaped, "Your ordering Sake? Baka?"

"No, you have to try this it will take you off the good girl scale..., even just a little", Eri offered.

She wondered.... maybe just a sip?

It wouldn't hurt anyone, then again...

"Um... No I really just have to go.", Kagome grabbed her bag and stood up.

"Bye guys."

"Bye, Kagome"

Finally making it to her house Kagome took a breather, and opened the sliding door, "Ahh. finally ho--?"

A very large box was sitting in place of where she could enter, it was a little taller than her.

"I'm pretty sure this wasn't here before", she said pushing it into her living room, "I wonder what it is."

On the right side of the box it said, To: Higurashi, Kagome

From:

She sighed annoyed, "Probably another gift from Hojo, She sighed, "I better see what is then send it back".

"I'll get a knife", She disappeared into the kitchen to get one when she returned...

"Okay let's open you u-"

It was cut opened though the middle but, still not open enough to see through.

She dropped the knife and slowly walked over to it, "S-someone's been doing my work for me.", She nervously whispered.

Walking toward the box she pushed it slightly, and it appeared to still be an ordinary box.

"Then what?", She questioned, using her arms to pull open the box.

Finally, she got it opened but still could see nothing, She slowly stuck her hand and..

Whoosh!

She was pulled into the box.

Then a child was pushed back out.

About five years of age, the girl started to cry.

A Skinny looking figure, with a red star painted on his right eye, and a circle on the left, somewhat like a clown; stepped out the box and laughed with a snort, "How cute, hahaha Snrt", He looked over at the box and snapped his finger and in the blink of an eye, disappeared.

The girl stopped crying and questioned the disappearing sound.

"Humh, 'I'll be back in four days so don't follow me' She says Who the hell does she think she is?", Inuyasha stood up.

"Well, I don't care I'm going to get her anyway.", he said.

Jumping in the well he put on his game face.

xxxxxxx

"Kagome! Hey Kagome! Yo! I got a bone to pick with you!"

He said opening her house door.

"He-!", He noticed a little girl looking up at him off the floor.

"Hey girl where's Kagome?", He asked the child.

"Huh? I am Kagome, Silly", She smiled.

‘What the hell?’, I thought to myself.

That was the only thing I could think, was this little girl telling the truth?

Could this girl be?

No, way.

That's stupid, this girl couldn't be.

Kagome?

"Wait, what?", I asked her, obviously.

She looked toward me and smiled again, then suddenly jumped up and hopped on my shoulders.

Which surprised me how high she could jump, "Doggie!", She yelled in delight, and grabbed at my ears.

"Hey get off me!".

I shook her down only causing her to frown and pout.

I guess this could be Kagome; Brown eyes, Black hair, her smile with a tooth missing, but ponytails?

As i stood there thinking, this 'Little Kagome' sat on the floor drawing with her fingertips.

"Stop that.", I yelled more at my self than her.

She gave me and laugh and ignored me, ran around me.

'What the hell happened? '.

'And why does this shit always happen when I'm not around'

Finally, I know what I had to do.

The Hag will know what to do if anything.

I grabbed 'Little Kagome' by the waist and jumped out the door.

She held onto me as i leaped through the light.

"Hey Monk! Monk!"

"I assume you have brought, Back Lady Kagom...e", He voice fell silent as he saw a child grab the back of Inuyasha's leg.

"Ahem- I- um, believe there in a young girl attached to you, Inuyasha.", He lightly chuckled.

Inuyasha crossed his arms, "Don't you think I know that?", He huffed annoyed.

"Well, Inuyasha did you make this girl a promise you cannot keep as such Koga's to Ayame?", He raised and eyebrow, laughing with his eyes.

"What the- No! Sadly, I am not a sick minded Women chaser like you."

"Hey! Miroku, Inuyasha What are you two doin--", She also notice the girl behind his leg.

"Why is there a child on your leg, Don't tell me Miroku finally got to you.", She exclaimed giving me an are you pervert look

"I am not a damn pervert.", He growled.

"Sango! Have you seen Kirara? I can't find her anywhere.", Shippo also stopped, to stare just a little, "I don't think I want to know."

"There's not much to say, this a child and it's behind me, that's all."

Shippo went to the girl and look at her, "Okay, Why would she be behind you?"

"I was asking the same thing.", Sango & Miroku said in unison.

"Fluffy!", She yelled in delight again and glomped Shippo.

"Hey what! What are you doing get off me! Ah!", Shippo ran around with 'Little Kagome' hanging off his little fluffy tail.

Inuyasha was getting aggravated.

"Will you all shut up?!"

"Anybody knows where the old hag is?"

"She's in her hut as always.", Sango pointed.

"Right.", Inuyasha walked off, leaving Kagome, she shortly trailed behind.

"Wait! Doggie!", She said not so quitely.

Inuyasha walked to her hut and open it slowly, "Hey Hag!"

"Hello, Inuyasha how have Ye been-?", Inuyasha cut her off.

"Yeah yeah enough with greetings, I have a problem."

"Hum? Ye? A problem? there be no such thing."She laughed stiring her stew.

"This is not the time for jokes I have a big big Big Prob-"

Finally, Keade noticed that a little girl behind him.

"Why do ye-? I thought you were getting Kagome--"

"That's the damn problem. This is Kagome!", He answered pushing her into the room.

Keade gave him a questioning look, "What-"

"I don't know how this is and can be Kagome, but somehow I know it is."

"Please, explain what happened, Inuyasha"

Inuyasha explained to keade how he went to find Kagome but found this girl instead.

"Hum...."

Inuyasha sat on the floor legs and arms crossed, with Little Kagome sitting right beside him, sitting quietly he waited for her responds, "Well...?", he asked Impatiently, "What do ya think?"

"Alright, it seems that this child may be Kagome, but how did this happen in the first place?"

"How the hell should I know?" He asked her irritated "I just showed up and she was like this!", He huffed.

"Hmmm...", Puzzled Keade turned Kagome around, to examine her, "Interesting."

Since Keade hadn't told Kagome to stop she began to twirl around, giggling.

After an hour of arguing with Keade about what do now.

Little Kagome, laid on the opposite side of Inuyasha and near Keade's feet, sleeping.

"Maybe you should spend a bit of the time with the girl, and ye will find some sort of answer to why this happened", She suggested. "It's not that easy, with Kagome this way she can get hurt easily; I ain't ready for all that", he explained. "Well, ye could take her home her family could watch her". He shifted into a more comfortable position, "When I came there her family wasn't home, and we need her here to look for jewel shards, Agh! Danmit! No matter what we do something's always wrong with it!."

"Inuyasha calm your voice--"

"Humm...?", Kagome lifted herself up and wiped her eye, and looked around herself then dropped her head back onto the floor and fell back asleep.

"Ye, are too loud you could wake the devil."

"Humph. Well what do you expect me to do?"

"Ye should keep an eye on the child and see if there is anyway to tell if she's under a spell, In the meantime I will try to make herb to see if I can bring the child back to normal."

"Fine", He agreed.

Inuyasha woke up quietly from the sight of light coming through-out the skies, but instead of seeing straight floor, a small face looked at him smiling, "Hihi! Sleepy head!", She giggled.

When did she---?

She woke up before me?

Inuyasha looked at her.

"You took foreeever to wake up!"

Inuyasha was just confused now.

"Oh um... My mummy says I'm a early tori! Cause I wake up really early!", She smiled again, "Come on! You up yet?"

"Uh, Yeah I'm up."

"Well, come on I woke up the other peoples so lets go!", She said dragging him along.

Outside Sango, was stretching; Miroku was creeping near Sango; Shippo was just getting up.

Slap!

Miroku greeted Inuyasha with a smile on his hand-printed face, "Ohayo Inuyasha."

"Yeah, Morn'n lecher, I'm going to get some fish."

Inuyasha put his arm in his sleeves, and Kagome walked next to his with her hands behind her, "I wanna catch fishes too!"

"Wait!", Came a woman's voice, she stopped in front of Inuyasha and Kagome, "Here. Lady Keade asked me to deliver these clothes to you."

"Thanks.", She smiled.

She held the clothes between her fingers, "I'll go put them on, Don't leave without me, Okay?", She pointed toward him then ran off.

'She was the strangest little girl I've met, isn't she worried where her Family is?'

Inuyasha leaned his back against a tree waiting for her to return.

"I'm back", she said in a hurry, she was in a small purple kimono, with a black bow around the waist, "Lets go fishing!"

She laughed and ran past him to run toward the river.

Inuyasha was on the opposite side of the river, since Kagome had wanted to catch her own fish.

Child or no Child she was still as stubborn as ever.

Kagome grabbed at the fish that swam pass.

Inuyasha had plenty of fish to last a day or two, and looked around and didn't see Kagome, 'She probably headed back, she's everywhere lately.'

"Kagome? Yes Keade told me but,", Sango whacked him in the arm, "You idiot! You were suppose to be there!"

"Hey! Cut it out! It wasn't my fault, She was like that once I found her!"

"Okay but I haven't seen her, check with Keade."

"Humf Fine.", he grumbled.

xxxxxxxxxxx

"La la la la la la la...", Kagome sang just running she finger's along the line of the river.

She looked deep into the water looking at her reflection, and soon instead of seeing herself, she saw a beautiful woman with long brown hair wearing ruge along her lips, "Hello.", her sweet voice rang out; "Hi!", Kagome answered back.

"Who are you?"

"I am Airashii-ika, but you can call me Ika", she smiled and her body came up from the dripping river, she was drenched in a light blue Kimono, and hair tied back in a bun, she was much taller than Kagome would have guessed.

"Ok! I'm Kagome", she told her childishly.

"Oh I know who you are, an I'm glad I finally meet you..", She chuckled.

The woman began to tower over Kagome.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Hey old Hag! Where's Kagome?", I stormed in.

Keade blinked an eye at me and looked confused, "Is she not with ye?; I was sure ye and the child were fishing."

I looked around the room to find that she sure as hell was not with Keade, "Shit!" I cursed.

I came back to the river to find a one or two fishes left were she was standing, "Kagome?!"
