The village came to life again. The night had passed and a new day began. The first people started the work that had to be done today.
Kagome blinked. Her neck hurt.
She yawned once and rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"Inu-Yasha!" It suddenly shot out of her mouth.
Suddenly she remembered the scenario of the previous night and hoped it was just a dream.
However, when she looked around and couldn't see the hanyou anywhere, she hung her head.
"What's going on, Kagome?" Sango asked, who was also awake. She looked at her friend and was startled. "You look damn exhausted."
Kagome looked at her and put on a pained smile.
The Taijiya let her gaze wander. "Where's Inuyasha?"
, thought Kagome and the smile disappeared from her features.
"We ... we have to look for him ... last night ... he was so weird ..." she stammered and got up.She was very worried. Inuyasha had just stormed off and something else could have happened to him.
He carried the jewel with him, after all, and there were a lot of youkai who would like to get their hands on it ...
“What happened then?” Sango looked at Kagome concerned now.
“I'll tell you on the way!” Kagome grabbed her backpack, checked again quickly whether there was still enough bandage in it and started walking.
"Hey, wait!"

“So he ran away with the jewel?” Sango looked at Kagome in disbelief.
The two sat by the fountain that was the link between Kagomes and the Sengoku period. They had decided to take a little break here and then continue their search for the hanyou.
"I don't know what he suddenly had either ..."
The Taijiya caressed Kiara, who had accompanied her and was now resting on Sango's lap.
"Maybe we should have taken Miroku and Shippou with us ... if something really happened ..."
Kagome looked up, startled.

Kaede looked around in amazement.
She stretched once, got up, and walked to the entrance of the hut. Old Miko pushed aside the straw curtain that was to serve as the door and let her gaze wander. Nothing.
"Hm ..." she made and stopped there.
"Tell me Kaede, where are the others?"
Miroku stepped up to the old woman and looked at her. "That reminds me ... Inu-Yasha and Kagome must have had an argument tonight." He scratched his head. "He's probably sitting on some tree and sulking and Sango and Kagome went looking for him."
Kaede nodded. "Yes that could be."
Miroku sat by the fireplace and poked the ashes with a stick.
"Listen to Miroku, you and Shippou should help Sango and Kagome. Inu-Yasha must have taken the Shikon no Tama with her and could be in trouble ..."
The monk looked up briefly and nodded. "Yes, you are right. That could be."He turned his head to see Shippou, still curled up in Kagome's sleeping bag, asleep.
Miroku took a small stone that was in the fireplace and threw it on the little kitsune.
"Hey!", He let himself be heard and touched his head. "That hurt!"
"Stop nagging. We have to go."
The young monk rose, grabbed the little youkai by the collar and lifted him up.
Shippou hung limp and rubbed his eyes. "Why such a hectic rush early in the morning ..."

“So Inu-Yasha and Kagome had an argument?” Shippou padded after Miroku and was wide awake again. Miroku had briefly told him what he had heard the previous night and how upset Kagome had been.
Shippou was of course wide awake and he was even a little happy that Miroku had taken him to look for the others.
After all, he was always underestimated, as he said. And now he was proud to be able to help."Yes." Miroku nodded. "At least I think so. But Kagome seemed to have taken it with him."
Shippou stopped. "Why is Inu-Yasha just such a stubborn hothead?", He excited. "He always starts an argument and Kagome has to suffer from it!"
Miroku looked at the little fox and grinned.
"You know how he is. He just wants to hide his feelings. Inu-Yasha doesn't mean it at all. Now come on. We want to move on."
"Well." Shippou started moving again and followed the monk.

"They are up there!" Shippou shouted excitedly and stormed towards the two girls who were just about to leave their resting place and continue their search.
“Sango, Kagome!” Miroku ran up to the two of them too.
Sango turned and saw the two of them. "That's Shippou and Miroku."
Shippou squealed happily as he jumped into Kagome's arms.
"Have you found Inu-Yasha yet?" Asked Miroku when he came to stand in front of the fountain.Kagome looked at the floor and shook his head. "No."
Shippou looked sadly at the girl, but then put on a big grin.
"Don't worry, Kagome. My nose may not be as good as Inuyasha's, but I can certainly pick up his track and then we'll find him!"
Kagome smiled and hugged Shippou. "Thank you, my little one. What would we do without you!"
Slightly embarrassed, the little kitsune jumped off Kagome's arm and began to hold his nose to the wind.
Miroku turned to the two girls. "Do you think Inuyasha is in danger?"
Sango shrugged. "I think he's sitting in a tree somewhere and sulking again."
Actually, she wanted to make her friend laugh a little with this remark, but Kagome didn't make a face.
"I have her!"
The three of them looked at Shippou, who was pointing his finger in the direction of the forest in front of them.
“It has to be there somewhere!” The little youkai started running, trying not to lose Inu-Yasha's trail again.Yes, this time the others needed him. A triumphant grin spread across his face.
Miroku, Sango, Kagome and Kiara ran after the little guy, each hoping to meet Inu-Yasha soon ...
