As the silence stretched on, however, it was too exhausting to analyze the inscrutable taiyoukai. She turned her thoughts to how - and if - they would find Inuyasha.

She hadn't imagined that he would find them first.

"Where's that jackass brother of mine?" demanded the red-clad figure that materialized inside their camp. Jaken and Kagome stared.

"Hunting," she murmured.

First Chapter and Next Chapter

For the 'Bait' theme on Dokuga's LJ comm - 100 words, no more no less. The next part of the serial "The Nightingale".

All due recognition to Hans Christian Anderson for the inspiration.
