Recap:"Are you lost?" You asked her your eye twitching slightly.
"No! I just... yeah it's this way." She said nodding and walking the other way.
Hello, Alice in wonderland again. A low groan was heard as you walked in back of her and looked up at the sky. I hope we find them soon
"Where the hell can they be!?" Inuyasha asked himself as he sniffed the air, continuing his search. Stopping were he stood he looked up at the sky and let out a small breath of air as Kirara landed and Sango jumped off.
"Haven't found them." She told Inuyasha quietly as Inuyasha nodded. "I'm sure-"
The bushes rustled as Miroku cam back with Shippo. "No luck."
"Damn it! They should have just stayed with us." Shaking his head Inuyasha looked down at the floor. 'What if....'
"Inuyasha the sun is setting... and you do remember what day it is?"
Inuyasha nodded irritated. "The new moon..."
Everyone nodded as they looked at Inuyasha he seemed to be thinking about something.
"We have to keep moving until the sun goes down." Inuyasha turned his back on the group and continued to walk.
Miroku, Sango, and Shippo looked at eachother before shrugging and walking after the hanyou.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Ambrosia looked back at you and shook her head slightly. "Getting tired?"
"We've been walking for hours straight... yeah I'm getting a little tired." Panting slightly you let out a small laugh as she nodded.
"Sorry about that. Guess we can stop for a while."
Nodding you leaned up against a near by tree and closed your eyes. Letting out a small sigh you open your eyes and scan the are you were in. The leaves covered most of the pastel colored sky. Looking off to a far corner you stand up quickly.
"Ambrosia-"
"I see it too. We have to get out of here." She said glaring at the purple cloud coming closer by the minute.
Nodding you turn to walk off when your arm is pulled.
"How nice is to see you two again."
"Naraku let her go." Ambrosia told them and behind the baboon pelt.
"I'm afraid I do not take orders from you." Naraku told her behind the mask.
Ambrosia glared as she threw a small knife at Naraku making him let go of your arm.
"Mari run!"
Nodding you looked at her and took off towards your left.
'Oh god! I know I've should have stayed with Inuyasha... but no! I wanna do things myself.'
Almost tripping, you looked back and let out a small sigh not slowing down.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
A few minutes passed by as you leaned your side against a tree.
'Where the hell is Inuyasha when I need him!? Damn it!'
Taking a breath you straightened up and looked back.
"I hope Ambrosia's okay..."
"She'll be fine. i am tired of playing cat and mouse with you." The dark voice said from behind you as you tensed up.
"Naraku... what do you want with me?"
"In due time you'll find out." He told you as he wrapped and arm around your waist. Tensing up again, you begin to twist and turn trying to get out of his arms as he held you tighter. "You are becoming a bother."
Feeling his hand over your mouth you panic slightly. With a small chuckle from Naraku you felt something hit the back of your neck. Feeling slightly light headed you blinked and fell limp.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Inuyasha smacked the side of his neck and lowered his hand. "What do you want Myoga?"
"Master Inuyasha I have news on the where about of the two girls that you're looking for."
"Where are they!?" Inuyasha asked looking down at the small flea.
"I'm sorry to say that Naraku has taken them."
Inuyasha glared as he turned around and looked at the night sky. "We have to go."
"Inuyasha it isn't safe." Sango argued looking at, the now human, Inuyasha.
"It's not safe to leave her... them there." Inuyasha said looking at Sango over his shoulder. "I'm not going to leave them with Naraku so he can do whatever the hell it is he's planning."
Everyone fell silent as they looked at each other then at Inuyasha.
"He's right." Miroku said nodding and walking to Inuyasha.
"Then let's go." Sango said nodding and walking with the rest of the group.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Shaking your head you lift yourself up from the cold floor and let out a small groan. "Where am I now...?"
"We're stuck in a dungeon." The voice came from infront of you making you squint your eyes in the dim light.
"Ambrosia?"
"Yeah it's me. You okay?"
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"Nothing I can't take care of." A small groan was heard as she stood up and walked to the cell door.
Getting up yourself you scanned the small cell and shuddered upon seeing a disregarded carcas.
"Someone's coming." Ambrosia said glaring and looking off to her right.
The sound of the door opening made you jump slightly and take a step back.
"It's you." You said looking at Kagura as she stood infront of the door.
"What? Were you expecting your precious Inuyasha? You can forget about him. I doubt he's going to find you."
"What the hell do you need me for!?"
"Naraku is using you and her as bait. So sit still." Kagura said smirking slightly .
"Do you actually like working for that bastard?" You aksed her with the deadly glare still plastered on your face.
'Naraku will come and see you in a few." She told you glaring and walking away.
"Mari you don't happen to have the jewel shards on you, do you?" Ambrosia asked once Kagura left the room.
"I... No I dont. I left them in my book bag. Why?"
"I have a feeling Inuyasha may be in for trouble." Ambrosia said leaning up against the wall.
~!~!~!~!~!~
"Inuyasha does seem more mature." Miroku whispered to Sango who nodded.
"You think it's because of Mari?"
"Possibly."
"Will yah two stop whispering back there? What are yah talking about anyway?"
"Nothing at all Inuyasha."
"You two suck at lying." Inuyasha said shaking his head.
"It's nothing to worry about Inuyasha." Miroku told him reassuringly.
Inuyasha nodded and looked up at the sky. "The sun has to coem up already."
"Surely it can't be that-"
The trees rustled as Inuyasha took a step back. Someone walked out of the trees and looked at the group.
The metallic stench of blood filled the air as the man smirked. His shirt was covered with large splotches of blood as he looked at everyone. "Oh goody. More victims and you seem to be carrying the jewel shards... how lovely."
Inuyasha glared at the man as everyone got into fighting position.
