Searching by LadyTigresa

Chapter 1

Kagome is in shock. How can she be a youkai? Her so called mother told her that she is demon, who is from the past and that her parents left her here to protect her from who knows what. They left her a letter telling her that when she turns 17 she will turn back to her demon self and must go to the Northern Lands and look for the Lord Daimistu who is her father. * Omg!! I turn 17 in 3 days! What will Inu Yasha and the others think? How can I leave when I must continue looking for the jewel shards? *

While she was thinking of all this on her bed, a figure comes silently crawling towards her and jumps on her screaming "Its time to go!!!"

"Ahhhh!! Inu Yasha, how dare you scare me like that! Sit!!

Inu Yasha fell face first on the floor laughing. Kagome walked over him, hearing him curse colorful words, got her yellow over stuffed bag and left for the well still wondering what to do.

* Stupid Inu Yasha, maybe I will wait a couple days before tell I him and the others. *

"Damnit bitch! You should learn to always be prepared for anything, no matter where you are!"

"I'm so terrible sorry Inu Yasha" Kagome says sarcastically, "Please give me another chance to show how aware I am of every single little thing."

He ignores what she says and takes her bag. "Why do you bring all this junk for anyway? All we need is ramen."

"You never know what can happen, we must always be prepared" Kagome states.

"Feh"

They reach the well and he grabs her around the waist, and jumps in. As soon as they get to the other side Shippo jumps into Kagome's arms.

"Kaaaagoooooomeee! Why are you back so early? Did mutt face annoyed you so much that you had to come back?" he asks.

"Mutt face?! Come here runt and say that to my face!"

Inu Yasha stops yelling when they hear an angry "Hentai!" and a echoing smacking noise. Miroku and Sango go towards them, Sango looking pissed off while Miroku has a red handmark on his grinning face.

"Lady Kagome , I did not expect you to be here this early." Miroku says

"Me neither, but Inu Yasha had other plans" Kagome says.

"Feh, we are wasting time waiting for you to do you s-koo-l stuff. Whats the point? You should just stay here so we can continue hunting for the shards."

"I'm not going to say anything to that." Kagome says. She turns to Sango, "Lets go get some firewood to start a fire."

Sango nods, "Alright."

Kagome woke up suddenly. * Awww man, why do I have to go to the washroom at this time? * She gets ups slowly tucking Shippo into the blankets. * Why is it so quiet? * she wonders. She walks deep into the forest. When she finishes, she hears two hushed voices a couple meters away.

"Inu Yasha, why do you need my incarnate to look for the shards? I am more skilled than her."

"My love, she is the only one that can sense the shards. That's why I need her. If you could sense them, I would easily dump her for you. For now be patient; once we are done looking, I will wish you back and we can be together again." Inu Yasha kisses Kikyo lovingly and wraps his arms around her small body.

Kagome doesn't know what to think. How can Inu Yasha say that? He only uses me for the jewel shards? * I thought we were friends. I thought we could have had a future...* She wipes away her tears. * I had enough! I will leave and let Inu Yasha look for the shards himself. I've had enough of him always running to Kikyo and leaving me in the dust. I will just go to the Northern lands and look for my father. * She walks back to camp, got her bag and was about to leave when she realized she couldn't leave Shippo here. * He is like my son, I will not leave him here. *

She picks him up gently and smiles sadly when he snuggles up to her chest. Kagome looks at Sango and Miroku and silently says goodbye and walked back into the forest.
