Welcome to the Topics

Freedom runs into the room and turns on the television. "Look!"

"This is Kyo Yamato reporting a crash just off of the express way near Tokyo. According to the reports a car skidded of the the road crashing into a ditch hitting a tree. We have been informed that the car was registered to 17 year old Leah Kinimoto. No body has been found, but the police believe that the victim would not be able to survive if they don't find her within 24 hours."

Kagome looks at the TV shocked.

"No fucking way....." Justice replies.

"Oh fuck." Yuki swore.

Kagome stands up, "This is too much for me..." She leaves the room.

---

"Should we tell Mori?" Justice asks.

"The poor kid is out there now-" Yuki cut himself off. "This will break the kid..."

"Yeah....it will..." Justice grumbles.

Natsume frowns, "I'm more concerned about Leah right now. I mean she could be very much alive but she could also be injured or lost or alone..." She shakes her head, "I hope they find her soon..."

Yuki sat down and held his head.

--

Mori pullede over on the side of the road, calling out Leahs name

"Is it me? Or does everyone we know seem to be dying or almost dying off. I mean Kagome damn near died giving birth to her daughter, then Luke..." Justice trails off. "Not to mention your mother died giving birth to the twins. And now Leah is missing...." Justice frowns, "It's like someone wants us to suffer or something..."

----

Leah shivers trying to sleep.

Yuki walked over and eloped Justice in a hug, holding him tight. "Don't worry, we'll find a way to beat this mate and if someone does want us to suffer we'll just kick their asses yeah?"

---

Mori had heard on the radio what had happened to Leahs car and for all he knew she could be anywhere, or with anyone....

He called out for her louder, terrified.

Justice gave a small smile, "Yeah.."

---

"Leah?"

Leah looks up her eyes wide, "Ayame? W-what are you doing here?"

Ayame gives her an odd look. "I live here....the forest is part of my territory."

"Territory?" Leah inquires.

"Yeah...but you look like you've ben through hell. I'll take you back to my place to give you a change of clothes."

Leah sighs relieved, "Thanks."

Yuki smiled at him. "Theres a boy."

---

Sighing, Mori moved himself to lean against a tree, still calling out for her.

Leah for a moment thinks she hears someone calling her but figures it's just her mind playing tricks. she follows Ayame back to a cave. "You live here?" she asks looking around.

"Nah...just once I month I come here to check up on things since I moved to the city." Ayame replies.

"Oh.." Leah replies.

Ayame finally notices what Leah looks like in the light, "Oh my gosh Leah....You're bleeding..."

Leah looks down and sees all the blood on her clothes. She feels a dull ache in her arm and realized that it was actually broken, "I-I didn't even notice..."

Ayame made a face, "I think you need to see a doctor before your arm heals wrong."

-----

Justice leans back on the couch, "My mom is going to fucking kill me."

"Why is that?" Yuki asked.

Justice shifts uncomfortably, "Well I never did get around to telling her that my aunt uncle died. My aunt and uncle would be Leah's father and mother. And she told me that I had to keep an eye on Leah. I figured since her and Mori were going out he'd watch out for her but when she comes home and finds out what really happened.....she's going to kill me."

"Oh fuck Justice." Yuki swore. "You don't rely on Mori, that boy may seem capable but he's not."

Justice feels even worse, "Well I didn't know that..."

Yuki sat down and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Do you have a phone out here?" Leah asks Ayame as she looked for clothes for her.

"Um...yeah surprisingly. It's over there." Ayame says pointing to her cell phone.

Leah dials Mori's cell phone number.

----

Justice looked down at his hands, nervous.

Freedom looks to his brother, "Maybe she won't be as hard as you think she will be on you."

Justice gave him an "Are you crazy?!" look, "Her brother and his wife is dead. Not to mention her niece is missing...."

"Oh...well....I'll pray for you." Freedom mumbles.

Mori quickly picks up.

---

Yuki sighed. "God, this is the worst. Alright, everyone go home, go to sleep. I don't care."

"Mori?" Leah whispers.

---

"Yeah..." Justice says standing up. "Le's go you guys." He says referring to Natsume and Luke. "And Yuki, it was nice seeing you again." Justice nods to Yuki before leaving the house..

"Bye." Natsume mumbles before leaving to follow Justice.

Freedom sighs, "I'm going to check on Amaterasu." He leaves the room.

---

Kagome lay in her bed curled into a ball, waiting for Yuki.

"Leah?" Mori gasps. "Where are you?!"

---

Yuki walked them to the door and once they had all left, he went to check on his girlfriend.

---

Amaterasu had her arm covering her eyes. She didn't do much.

----

Luke looked to his lover. "You ok?" He asked.

"With Ayame.." Leah says softly. "She found me."

--

Kagome had her eyes squeezed shut, hoping that Leah was okay.

--

"Ama?" Freedom says opening the door.

--

"No...not really." Justice replies.

"Where are you?" Mori asked. "I'm coming to get you."

---

Yuki walked into his room and touched Kagomes back caringly.

---

"Yeah?" Amaterasu asked, not moving her arm.

---

"We'll go home and talk about this there alright?" Luke smiled warmly.

"I don't even know where I am..." Leah says looking around the cave.

----

Kagome sits up, "Hey babe....did they leave?"

----

Freedom sighs, "I have some bad news."

----

Justice gave a half hearted smile, "Yeah.." He says before getting into the car.

Sesshoumaru lay down on the bed, hands folded behind his head and closing his eyes. First thing's first. He was going to promptly take a dignified nap.

---

Tsukikomaru muttered, "You poor, poor woman of mine..."

Kikyou decides to nurse her son before giving him a nap.

----

Kimora eats her ice cream slowly, "I can't believe this..."
