wouldn't stop moaning. "And anyway, why are you in your time for so long again, eh? We always have to wait for you. Can't you even ..." When Inuyasha turned around at these words, he finally realized what his words triggered in Kagome. And seldom did he realize straight away the consequences that would have for him. Unfortunately too late. "Uh ... Kago ..."

"OSUWARI !!!"

Inuyasha slammed with full force - pulled down by his rosary - on the floor, where he lay with a painful face.° That she always had to let him kiss the earth ... couldn't that be a little more gentle? My back ... °

The half-demon opened his eyes carefully, only to see a very angry girl on the move.

° That idiot !! ° Kagome took a deep breath. Then she started: "BAKA !!! Did that have to be again? What did I do to you, huh? I'll be back and you don't even have a friendly word of greeting for me!"

Inuyasha was ashamed. It was true, he was in a bad mood, but he shouldn't be taking that out on HER. The girl wasn't finished, though.

"And what does long mean here? I was just 3 days in my time, 3 DAYS !!! And don't you dare to call that long. Besides ..." she swallowed the rest of the sentence. Should he just stew ... she didn't have to tell him immediately that she was now on summer vacation and could therefore stay for a full 8 weeks without having to go to school (I have no idea how long they have summer vacation in Japan ... I'm just times assumed longer than us.)Kagome gave the Hanyou one last, withering look. Then she turned on her heel and angrily stomped outside.

Inuyasha just stared after her. ° Oh dear .. she was very angry. Hopefully it doesn't go straight back to its time ... °

Shippo just sighed and only looked at the half demon punishingly. "Inuyasha, you are such a complete idiot ... poor Kagome so ... AUAAAAA !!!" Weeping he held the headbutt that Inuyasha had given him. "That hurts! You are so brutal! I don't like you!" Still sniffing, the little fox demon fled to Sango, who was now also looking at him reproachfully. Miroku looked at the hanyou. "Don't you start too!" He hissed. "Oh, Inuyasha ..." Miroku sighed and finally hit him with lightning speed with his monk staff. The half demon was so surprised that he couldn't move at all. But then his demonic powers helped him and he dodged the staff playing while he got up from the ground."What was that supposed to mean? !!" he grumbled at the monk, who stared at him in amazement. "Wow, Inuyasha, you are really fast!" "Of course!", Came the poisonous response. “I'm a hanyou!” “Well, what I was trying to say, Inuyasha, is - go after her.” “Nani?” Inuyasha looked at Miroku as if he had suddenly grown as much dog ears as he had. “You should go after her! Apologize, Inuyasha!” The half-demon's ears twitched. Kagome had been pretty tough on him. And besides, he would have to swallow his pride ... Pah! Probably the wretched woman would just throw him back on the ground anyway - and in a very rough way. "Keh! I don't even think about it!" And with these words he turned around and stared into nothing. Sango, Shippo and Miroku sighed simultaneously, as if on command. That was typical again….

5 minutes later:

"Inuyasha .. could you please stop the annoying knocking?" Sango rolled his eyes. "Nani?"Inuyasha snapped even more. However, his leg did not stay still, but continued to knock impatiently and loudly on the floor." Why don't you just go after? "asked the demon hunter. That brought the barrel to overflowing. The Hanyou jumped up and hissed at the others:" Just so that it is clear: I'm not running after Kagome !! I'm going somewhere else entirely! "With that he jumped up and almost stormed out of the hut. The other three just stared afterwards. Shippo sighed, Miroku just shook his head and Sango had to giggle." Of course ... "

Meanwhile at Kagome:

° That idiot! To sniff at me like that…. What is he actually thinking? Who am I??? Oh ... I can do him like that ... ° "Ouch !!!" ° Shit ... Now I fell smoothly over a root ... ° The girl rubbed her ankle in disgruntlement. But here it was pretty dark and ... stop a minute ... Where was she anyway?

The girl looked around startled. She hadn't paid any attention to the way out of sheer anger.° Great. It's getting better and better ... Well, if I don't know where I am, then I just have to go back the way I came. °

So after she got to her feet, Kagome stomped back. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be brighter again, but to get darker and, above all, more eerie. Every step she took seemed to lead her further into the dark forest instead of out. "Oh, that's nonsense," she said, encouraging herself. “It won't be that difficult to find a way out of here.” Her voice sounded soft, lonely and somehow very lost in the dark expanse between apparently thousands and thousands of trees. Instead of encouraging her, it only made things worse. Kagome could no longer think; she panicked. What was going on here? What happened to her She realized too late that something was wrong here. This forest - or whatever it was - wasn't what it seemed.Was he bewitched? Had someone set a trap for her? "Inuyasha ..." Her voice faded away unheard in the darkness. Now the girl was really scared. She went downright headless. ° What is happening here? Why do I panic like that? That's not normal ... ° Again she wondered whether the forest wasn't enchanted and frightened you. It was funny enough that it should be so close to the village, where she had now spent quite a long time, a region she had never seen before. However, she didn't know exactly where she was either. Kagome was calming down slowly, not completely, and she still felt like she had to run away, but her instincts told her it wouldn't have been good, so she tried desperately to think about how to handle the situation - even without Inuyasha's help, because he would definitely not come to help her. Slower now, but still alert and with tense senses, she kept walking.It seemed to get even darker, but after she - well, maybe not recognized the trap, but felt it at least, the feeling of panic subsided a little. She just had to hold it back.

Hours seemed to pass as she wandered through this strange forest. Kagome had the feeling that she was not making any headway, but neither did she seem to be walking in circles. Who knows how long she would have been walking around if she hadn't suddenly discovered something very familiar. At first the girl only had a feeling, more of a premonition, but then she discovered the cause: soul catcher.

At first these strange creatures just hovered in the treetops and disappeared so quickly that she thought she was wrong. But they came again, this time appearing closer to her. Kagome was curious. What was Kikyo doing here? On the other hand, there was that feeling inside her again, a wild mixture of jealousy, pity and sometimes fear, which came from an event a long time ago when Kikyo had tried to kill Kagome.Whatever the answer to the riddle, she was very relieved to finally meet someone she knew. The prospect of someone human - even if it was just Kikyo - was just too tempting to turn down. In addition, the soul catchers seemed to hover around them, to lure them, to call them and to lead them to a certain place. Kagome followed without thinking. It never occurred to her that it might be Kikyo who was setting a trap for her.

"Kagome !!! KAAAAAGOMEEE !!!"

Inuyasha ran across the meadow at a fast pace. Yes, that was her smell, for sure. And surprisingly, it did not lead to the bone-eating well, as he had first suspected, but in the opposite direction, to a wide meadow. The hanyou slowed down. It had to be here ... This was where her smell was clearest. It couldn't have been more than half an hour since the girl came by. Suddenly he stopped and sniffed.He was quite sure. Thoughtfully, he took two steps back. Yes, Kagome's smell could be clearly smelled here. Two steps further: NOTHING. Nothing. Inuyasha immediately sensed that something was wrong here. Unfortunately, the light breeze didn't give him the slightest clue. ° Shit, damn it !! Where can she be? It was not swallowed by the ground! ° Or maybe it was, but the thought was too terrible for it to want to think about it any longer.

"KAGOME !!! KAGOMEEEEE !!!!!"

muaha ... I wrote the chapter in one evening, almost in one piece, with only a short break. Unfortunately I've had a huge headache all day and it's getting late; Time for my urgently to catch up on sleep. But maybe I will continue writing tomorrow…. Let's see how much time I can squeeze out (unfortunately I have to give tutoring until the evening * sigh *)

As always, I'd be happy about detective agents of a constructive nature, death threats, marriage proposals and fan clubs (* lol *).Finally write a review! Hey guys, I want to study, and then you have to finish me off, otherwise I'll never get better ^^

in this sense

until then

lg aye
