And you thought all the C+C on this was finished, didn't you?

Combinging 2+3

Chapter One: Disorientation


Kagome jolted awake to hands on her shoulder and a gnarled root jabbing
uncomfortably into one kidney. The hands were gentle, unlike the root's
placement. Both sensations made her all too aware that things were not

 did not normally wake up at the base of the Goshinboku. To say the

least,

"To say the least' is highly cliche. Dump it/

 it was highly disconcerting.

supernatural companions.

But the kogitsune Shippou and the hanyou Inu-Yasha were no where

nowhere

The woods gave them no clues; deer and rabbit sign were all they found.
Hours passed before they found the winding mountain road that shielded

this

village in its shadow. There was no trace of their companions. Kagome
didn't like it at all; Inu-Yasha would abandon

wouldn't (I doubt if she thinks that lowly of him. ^_^)

Again, the taijya was grim and quiet. However, she didn't leave Kagome
completely in the dark.  "When he's ready, he'll show you," she said

This village was a

Fear shared was fear lessened

Sometimes. Other times fear grows in the presense of more fear. :P



Nice short piece to advance things, though not much happened, other than
Mir's hand being made whole. Things are moving along slowly. You're probably
better off releasing chapters 3 times this size and there might be more to
talk about.
