Chapter 1:The Mysterious Stranger. It was a cold night as a stranger walked into their campsite just as if she had gone to get firewood and had just gotten back.The first to notice her was Inuyasha,and he was startled,for he had not been paying much attention all night."Hey,who the hell are you?!?!"he demanded,startling his friends. "Uhhhhhh..."said Kagome,as she glared at Inuyasha for his rudeness."What he means to say-"she started. "I know he meant,'Hey,who the hell are you?!?!',and I'm used to it...sorta."the stranger said off-handedly,as though she was all of a sudden awkward. "What do you mean by that?"questioned Sango. "How will I explain this...so you'll belive me?"she pondered. "Why not start by telling us your name?"Kagome said pleasantly. She could tell that this stranger was not from around here,for the simple fact that,her clothes were of modern dress.What was strange though,was that her clothes were all boy's clothes.She wore shorts down to her knees,and she wore a shirt that was a fake ad for some "Roadkill Cafe" place.(A\n:I want to say now,that in my version,we all speak English,and can read it too.*sigh*It felt good to get that off my chest!!I don't want people questioning my authority as author!!!Yeah!!I now have authority!!)So,naturally,she was quite curious as to who this strange little girl was,and how she got here.Well,little was slightly unfair,as she just seemed to be on the short side.This stranger was carrying a modern gym bag,and it was bulgeing(Sp?)in odd places,as if it was carrying a number of interestingly shaped objects.The stranger opened her bag,and to everyone's astonishment,pulled out a regular sized lawn chair!!(A\n:These do NOT fit in gym bags!!)She opened it and sat down,as though she had done nothing out of the ordinary. "My name is Kara."she stated,then frowned in slight distaste."Do you think my name is weird?" They were all still staring at her,even Kagome who frequently told Inuyasha that staring was rude.Kara,however,had noticed none of this,and was still talking. "...and people always call me names that I don't like,and I think my REAL name is kind of strange.What do you think?"she chattered away happily,not much awkwardness remaining.She seemed to be enjoying herself just being there,and said so."I am so happy to finally meet you guys!!"she squealed.That's when they noticed that her eye was twitching. "Hey,are you some kind of phyco,or are twitching eyes normal where you come from?!?!"Inuyasha said very bluntly. "Oh,that.I want to touch your ears,but have too much respect for you to come out and do so."she calmly stated. "Why do people from your time always want to touch my ears?!?!"he inquired of Kagome,rather annoyed."And don't tell me she ain't from your time,I can tell she is just by her clothes!!They're funny,like yours!!"he fumed. "Different style though."Miroku noticed,making the himself known. "Hey,Miroku?How come you haven't done anything perverted yet?"Sango wondered. "Guys just don't come on to me."Kara said,and she knew it to be the simple truth."I have nooooooo idea why,"she continued,her voice dripping with sarcasm,"they just don't.Plus I'm 13."She knew that Miroku would hit on an 11 year old,but she said it anyway. "Lucky."said Sango,annoyed at Kara's good fortune of immunity to Miroku. "So,why are you here,and how did you get here?"Kagome finally asked. "Forget how I got here,that's not important!!"she said with so much exitement,that it looked like she would explode,"What DOES MATTER is that I come from not only another time,but another demention!!There you guys are just cartoon charachters,and I have seen a lot of episodes!!I could help you,even if you've gone past the episodes that I've seen,because before I left,I mugged Mary Poppins,took a good look at her bag,and made one of my own.Although,"she admitted"I made some major alterations to the function,so now I can pull out stuff I haven't even put in!!But there are a few drawbacks..."she said hesitantly. "Are they big ones?"Kagome asked,facinated. "Depends on what you call big..."Kara continued,"I can usually pull out things that are useful,but some times I can't,in fact,some times I pull out things that are just plain weird!!" Shippo who had been very quiet and well behaved during this conversation,finally spoke."What kinds of weird things?"he asked with innocent curious eyes. Immediatly,Kara's eyes and fingers began to twitch,and they could all see how she longed to gush over how cute he was.As if he sensed this,Shippo went to sit in Kagome's lap. "Well,one time I pulled out this adorable*eye twitch*kitten.I-It was fun*major eye twitch*to pet it."That was all she could manage before she had to dig through her bag to find something to pet.Triumphantly,she pulled out a live fox cub(normal),and began to pet it. Shippo sweatdropped.-_-'(A\n:I have always wanted to sweatdrop!!) "So you wish to join us in our quest for the Shikon Shards?"Sango summed up nearly all that had been said. "If it would be alright with you..."Kara was all of a sudden shy again. "Inuyasha,what do you think?"Kagome passed the buck to him. "Well...I guess freak girl can come along,provided that she will be useful every once in a while."Inuyasha said hesitantly. "Ramen?"Kara asked,as she pulled some out of her bag. "YUP!!!SHE CAN COME!!Inuyasha could barely contain himself. "Time for bed!!"Kagome said to Shippo."This has been a lot of exitement for just one hour!!"Seeing the pouty look on his face not unlike Inuyasha's,she added"All of us are very tired!!" Kara was too ready to sleep,she wanted to have dreams about the adventures she might have,so she simply pulled a sleeping bag out of her gym bag and asked if anyone needed anything,before drifting off to sleep. ------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 2:The walk to the village
The next day,they decided to move on.The next village was not far away,and there was a rumor of a special demon with Shikon Shards.This demon was rumored to be very tricky,trickyer(Sp?)than any demon they had faced yet.(Except mayby Naraku.)Not only tricky,but strange too. "If I can get an idea of what part your at,I can plan accordingly."Kara said logicly. "We just finished with those new reincarnations of Naraku's."Kagome said. "And that jerk Koga."Inuyasha added. Kara was very disapointed."Awwww,I wanted to see that go on!!!"she said. "Well,"said Kagome,"I'm sure him meeting you would have been an...'interesting' experience." "He sure didn't think much of half-demons."Miroku said with a gleam in his eye."Inuyasha seemed to get on his nerves a lot.Could it be because Koga laid claim on Kagome?And of course Inuyasha wouldn't stand for that!Koga thought that a half-demon didn't deserve Kagome."he said,and then he looked at Inuyasha."Not that he was right!!!" "I think half-demons are cool!!They aren't full demons,which are usually evil,yet they have demonic strength.People are wrong to segragate(Sp?)against them."Kara said with a sigh. Inuyasha looked suprised,because most people feared or hated him."You don't think I'm a freak?"he asked cautiously. "Absolutely not!!!"she sounded offended at the very thought."In fact,"she added as she reached into her bag,"in my dimension you're very popular!!!Take a look!!"She handed him the first manga(A\n:Is that right?Am I correct in understanding that manga is the comics,and anime is the cartoons on T.V.?)of the series.(A\n:I don't have that stupid Feudal Fantasy series,I picked the other one.I currently have 1-6,and then just a while ago I got 14-15!!Some guys at my school have 7&8.I also have 3 DVDs.) Inuyasha looked at the book,eyes boggleing,and asked slowly,"So you know what we thought at all these times in your books?" "Oh,yeah.Also,I've seen the anime,so I know a lot more than just what is in my books!!!"Kara said happily. "If you tell anyone what I think about,I'll kill you myself!!!"Inuyasha said defensively. "What?Oh right.I wouldn't embarass you just for the sake of it.Perish the thought!!!"Kara said as she was digging through her bag.She found what she was looking for,and started to play with her yo-yo. Shippo,who had gotten excited at the thought of emmbarassing Inuyasha,now looked curiously at the strange toy. Kagome seeing his interest,explained,"That's a yo-yo,Shippo.It goes up and down and keeps your hands busy." "Wow,can I see it?"he asked in his most polite voice. "Sure,you can keep it."Kara said,happy to be able to at least talk to Shippo. Shippo,who was walking on the ground,started to play with his new yo-yo.This,if you think carefully,created a problem."I think it's broken!!"he said sadly. "Nah,just sit on someone's shoulder and try it out."Kara replied,looking through her bag again."I'm not sure if I can pull what I want out!!"she said struggling with her bag."AHHHH!!!LION!!!Okay,nevermind it's gone now.Wow,having this can be dangerous!!"she panted from the effort of shoving a lion into her bag. Sango was concerned."Have you ever pulled out something really life threatening?"she asked,eyeing the bag nervously. "Not really.One time,I pulled out this comedian,and he was so awful I almost killed myself!!"she said,pretending to gag. During the entire conversation,Miroku had been getting closer to Sango.Given a perfect opportunity he sprung into action. "What's a comedi-AAHHHHHHH!!!MIROKU!!!"she said as she was getting out her bone boomerang and whacking Miroku over the head with it. "30 minutes.Isn't that a record?"Kara said looking at the stopwatch she had been concealing."I still can't find what I want!!"she said as she shook her head and sighed."I'm looking for a book and it's-HERE IT IS!!!!"she said as she pulled "Summoning Demons for Dummies" out of her bag. "Why would you summon a demon?!?!I don't usually fight them for fun you know!!!"Inuyasha yelled as he read the cover. Kara sweatdropped.-_-'(A\n:I FINALLY GOT TO SWEATDROP!!)"I summon helpful,good demons and they are usually very friendly and willing to help.There are stubborn demons that happen to be good,"she stared pointedly at Inuyasha,and when he didn't get the hint,she continued,"so demons like that usually require a sacrifice of some sort."Seeing the uneasy looks on her new friend's faces she added,"But it is usually some plant or some sacred dirt or somthing like that." "Yeah,"Kagome remarked,"why would a good demon want a human sacrifice?" "Hey,what about animals?!?!"said Shippo indignantly. "Animals too."Kagome nodded. They had stopped,and were waiting for Miroku to regain contiousness(Sp).As they looked at his swirly eyed form,Sango noticed something. "Hey,look!!The village is 2 minutes away!!"she shouted with excitement. ~Way to go Miroku!!Do some stupid perverted thing right before we get to the village!!Now we all have to wait for you!!~Sango shook her head. At this moment Miroku woke up and started walking to the village like nothing was wrong,causeing Sango to chase him in an attempt to knock him out again,and drag him to the vilage.She only succeded in chasing him into the village crazy person.She was carrying an armfull of sandals shouting,"Fish for sale!Fish for sale!They look lovely in vases!" A lot of people were starting to stare.They all wanted to see how the nut would react.She looked at Miroku and said,"Hey,you're cute!!"This was too much for Sango,who burst into #@++!. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!MIROKU FINALLY FOUND A GIRLFRIEND!!"she said as she rolled on the ground. The others had decided to run down to the village as well,and arrived just in time to hear the lady's comment on Miroku.It was too much for Kara as well,and she joined Sango in rolling on the ground in laughter.Inuyasha was chuckling to himself,and Shippo ran onto Miroku's shoulder and asked if he was going to say his famous phrase.Miroku stayed silent but he was noticably(Sp?)blushing.The lady was young,had black glossy hair,and was fairly pretty,but Miroku wanted a sane girlfriend.The lady just scowled at the two girls on the ground,and no one seemed to notice that she had orange eyes.They glowed in anger as the girls tried to collect themselves.She pointed at them and said"You may laugh,but you are the same as me!!"And the girls just stared at her for a moment. "Which one of us are you talking to?"Kara was puzzled. "You are both like me,but in different ways."the woman replied."My nickname is Luna.I have a full title,but I don't wish to share it." "Luna,huh?I know what that has to do with."Kara was looking very confused,nevermind how sure she sounded. "You do,do you?Then you know I am not to be taken lightly!"and with that she cooly walked away. ------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 3:This chapter makes my head hurt
They were all staring at Kara.She was standing there with a confused look on her face."That can't be right!!"she muttered to herself angrily. "What?"Kagome finally asked. "I told you I haven't seen the whole series,right?"Kara said with a worried look on her face. "Yeah,what about it?"Inuyasha said while being slightly distracted by a tentacle crawling out of her open bag. "This never happened in what I saw,and I don't think it's in what I didn't see.And if that's right,we must be in one of the fanfics on the internet!!I hope this is the only one we'll be doing,and that the author is pretty happy.Some are really angsty,for instance,I read a fic where Kagome freaks out and kills everyone!!!And some are out of scenario like your all kids in a highschool,or the humans or demons are enslaved to the one another.I won't go into details though.This isn't any fanfic I've read,but can I still come along and help?I've got my bag,and I think Naraku is a creep,one who should be slowly and painfully killed.But,now your all probably thinking I talk too much and too fast and that I'm nuts. *gasp**deep breath**choke*"As she finished that long speech she began to breath again,and they began to stare again. "How can you talk like that without your head exploding?"Shippo wanted to know. "It's a gift."she said still trying to resume normal breathing patterns.While Kara had been babbling,the tentacle had snuck up on Sango and it got her. "AHHHHHH!!!MIROKU!!HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO TOUCH ME THERE!!!"Sango shreiked.The tentacle,upon hearing the scream,had gone back into the bag,and Inuyasha decided it would be more fun to let Sango draw her own conclusions than to tell her the real cause. "BUT I DIDN'T!!"Miroku kept insisting,as Sango bonked him repeatedly over the head. "Can we get back to the problem at hand?"Kagome said in an irritated voice."This could be a story where something awful happens!!"Then she ran up to Inyasha and hugged him tightly.Inuyasha blushed.(A\n:Gotta love the blush!!!!!)Kagome sobbed,"I would never want to kill you!!Not you or anyone else!!" "Heh,it's okay Kagome."Inuyasha said getting even redder. Miroku stopped being swirly-eyed,winked at Inuyasha and said,"He may be right Kagome.This story(A\n:They had accepted that it was,indeed a story.)has had little sadness,and mostly humor.Perhaps the author is merely some crazy kid who wants to write an adventure for us to be in." "Uh,yeah.See,I've been thinking I'M writing this in another different demension!!I mean,who else would put me in a fanfic?The Easter Bunny?No,I've dreamed of being on one of my favorite shows since forever!!!The me in the other demention must have finally sat down and started writing!!That means she is writing what I'm saying right now!!Woah,my mind is spinning.Let's just get this straight.I would never make a bad fic where you all die,or write stupid things like Kagome is dating Miroku or Sesshomaru."Kara said,and once again started to breath.Inuyasha was growling over the last two suggestions. Kagome,noticing his reaction,said,"I don't want to date Miroku or your brother,so calm down!!"She was still hugging him,so his face took red to a whole new level.(A\n:I love to make him blush and be startled!!*giggle*^_~) Kara,who was now breathing at a normal pattern,said,"Let's simply ignore the fact that I'm supposedly writing all of this,and just act normal!" "Okay!"was the group reply. "Now,who was that,*ahem*,lady?"Miroku said as he turned red.(A\n:I'm a poet,and don't know it!!) "Yeah,and what did you say about her name?"Sango said after she sniggered at Miroku.(A\n:Here is the formation:Inuyasha is still beet red from being hugged by Kagome,who still hasn't noticed,and therefore has not let go.Sango is standing next to Miroku and the open bag.I'm standing next to Sango,and Shippo has jumped off Miroku's shoulder,as he didn't want to be attacked with Miroku,and is now investigating my bag.Sally the magical silver ducky,is nowhere.Here that?No Sally the magical silver ducky!!Now be quiet,you voice in my head that tells me to add silly characters!!I finally stood up to it!!Yay!!^_^) "Her name is Luna.Luna means having to do with the moon.And speaking of which,"she said as she finally noticed their surroundings,"it was the afternoon when we came here,and after me talking for a ridiculusly(Sp?)long time,it's night.Let's go back to just outside the village and camp out."Kara yawned"I am getting sleepy." Later,when they were all set up,they sat around the campfire and roasted marshmallows for dessert.Then they discussed their plans. "We should go out and find that demon and kill it!!"said Inuyasha. "I sense the Shikon Shard in the area just outside or in the village.It's strange,there is something hazy about where I sense it.I can feel it,but it's like it's found a way to conceal itself."Kagome said with much confusion. "That means we can stay in the immediate area.It also means that MIROKU can stay near his GIRLFRIEND!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!Like he could get a girlfriend with the way he acts!!"Sango laughed at him. "Sango,do you not like the way I behave?"Miroku said and targeted his prey once again.Everyone else just sweatdropped.-_-' "Of course I don't like the wa-MIROKU!!!YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!"Sango launched an attack on his head with a nearby rock. "We're going to bed."Kagome said refering to herself and Shippo. "Miroku never needs sleeping pills.All he has to do is go about his favorite pastime."Kara said with a shake of her head(A\n:Another poem!!). "So,what should we do?"Sango asked in a bored voice. "I thought I would practice summoning demons.There are some in the back of the book whose main purpose is to be summoned for practice."Kara said in an excited voice."I've never really summoned a demon before."she admmitted. "Can you summon bad demons?"Inuyasha asked."I don't want to be wasting my time killing demons that come when they're called." "Only if I mess up,or change the summoning spell enough so it summons the opposite kind of demon."Kara said as she flipped through her book. "Then you'd better not mess up,especially when it really matters!!And these demons that you summon better not hurt Kagome!!!!!"Inuyasha said,angry with the very thought of Kagome hurt.He looked at her sleeping in her sleeping bag with Shippo,and wished she wouldn't make him feel so uncomfortable. "It's cute the way you like her."Kara said,giggling. "Finally someone just comes out and says it!!About time!!!!"Sango said with relief. "Who said I liked her?!?!?!"Inuyasha said angrily,although both her and Sango could see him blushing.(A\n:See?It's cute when I make him upset!!^_^) Kara reached into her bag and passed him all her manga books."Look through those,and knowing I've read them,and tell me you don't like her."Kara said with a triumphant look on her face. Inuyasha skimmed through the books,and with a lot of blushing he saw how obvious he was.He passed them back and,with tremendous amounts of blushing,said,"Okay then,mayby." Sango looked in shock at him.This only made him blush more.(A\n:HAHAHA!!!I LOVE IT WHEN HE BLUSHES!!)As she continued to stare,she said,"I can't belive she actually got you to say that!!!"Inuyasha's clothes looked pink compared to his face.(A\n:More Inuyasha blushing action!CUTE!!)"Wow,Kara you must be magic or something!!"Sango was in awe. "Actually,"Kara said as she dug through her bag,"I am studying other things than summoning."She pulled out another book and they looked at the title. "Real Magic for Fake Dummies."Sango read aloud."So can you do anything?" "Not yet.So far it's been all reading."Kara seemed to be eager to start to learn magic,and said,"I'm waiting for an idea as on where to start."Then she yawned."We should go to bed.It's late,and goodness knows what might happen tomorrow!!" So they went to bed,Inuyasha in his usual upright sleeping position,Sango on a woven mat with Kilala,and Kara in her sleeping bag.It would haved looked very cozy if not for the still swirly-eyed Miroku eating the ground.A figure up in the tree looked on and said,"I know what will happen tomorrow.*evil laugh*" ------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 4:The Discussion at Breakfast The next morning Miroku woke up to a terrible headache.And a mouthful of dirt.Sango,therefore,woke up to a pretty sight."I'm waking up the right way!"she said as she streched,"To a heaping helping of Miroku after being pummeled!!"she said with a grin. "Thanks for your concern!"Miroku said sarcasticly. "No problem!"Sango said cheerily."Always happy to give concern!" "Would you two shut up?"Inuyasha said opening his eyes all of a sudden. "Oh,Inuyasha!I didn't know you were awake too!"said Kagome as she made some bacon."I was talking to Kara about last night after I went to bed." Inuyasha gave Kara a look of horror and then went very red.Kara,however,was looking unconcernedly through her demon summoning book. "Oh,r-really?"he said carefully. "Yeah,and you don't have to worry,"she said as she took the bacon out of the pan and put the sausages in,"I have every speck of faith I have in your ability to protect me!"Kagome asked Sango to watch the food while she went to take a bath. Inuyasha was stunned."What did you say to her?!?!How much does she know?"he demanded of her furiously. "Wow,your starting to sound like me,all paranoid and stuff!!"was her response. "So then,you didn't tell her anything?"he said hopefully. "No,I told you I wouldn't,and I didn't!Yeesh,you'd think you'd trust me as you threatened my life!"she said as she rolled her eyes. "What,may I ask,happened last night?What was said that was so important?"Miroku asked with excitement. Before she could stop herself,Sango told him,"Kara got Inuyasha admit he might like Kagome!!"Then Inuyasha made a sound of protest,and she said,"Woops!" This was news to both Miroku and Shippo.They never thought he would admit to liking Kagome."I knew it!!"was all Shippo said at first. "Is it that obvious?"said Inuyasha dazedly. "To people like us,"said Miroku,"yes,but you do a good job of hiding it from Kagome.With all your name calling,yelling,pouting,and just plain meaness,Kagome thinks you don't even want her as a friend." "But I do want her!As a friend...*blush*(A\n:I'm gonna go on a blush marathon every once in a while.)I just don't want her to know...that I MIGHT like her!Stupid girl,thinking I hate her!" They all sweatdropped.-_-' "Quite the romantic,isn't he?"Miroku asked Kara. "Oh yes,he's a real lady's man,,just like you Miroku!"Kara said sarcasticly"He and you attract the same amount of women.*giggle*" "I think that was the best insult I've heard in a while!Give me five!"Sango said as she slapped Kara's hand. "Since when am I part of an insult?!?!?!"Inuyasha asked,very irritated. Shippo chose now to insert his comment."Kagome deserves better than you!!"he shouted,sticking his tongue out at him. Inuyasha looked like his worst fears had been confirmed."maybe,"he said quietly,"she thinks so too."He smelled Kagome coming back."Listen,both of you,you tell her anything and I'll rip your throats out."he threatened,but it was a half-hearted threat. "I'm taking a walk."he said shortly,and walked off in the opposite direction that Kagome was coming from. "Hey,what's that smell?"Kagome said coming up and seeing a lot of shocked and sad looking people,quite contrary to when she left."Hello?Come in!Earth to all the zonked out people!!" Sango looked at her and said,"What?" "I asked what the smell is."Kagome repeated. "Oh,that would be the uh-FOOD!!!!I FORGOT!!I'M SORRY!!!!"Sango was very worried about Inuyasha,and hadn't noticed it. "That's okay we still have the bacon to ea-Kilala?!?!Did you eat all the bacon?!"Kagome scolded the naughty demon kitty. "Wow,sorry I'm not very attentive today!"Sango said as she guiltily looked at the empty plate,like she had eaten the bacon,instead of her cat. "That's okay,"Kagome said nicely,"now we can have Ramen for breakfast!!Inuyasha will be very happy!!........Where is he anyway?"she looked around,but saw no sign of him. "He.....went to take a walk."Miroku said slowly. "Anyone else just hear that?"Kara asked suddenly. "I think so,"Sango said,"let's just listen again." They all heard it then.It was a small squeaking noise that seemed to surround them.All of a sudden rats the size of goats came scurrying out of nowhere.Hundreds of them literally launched themselves at them,and they immeadiatly(Sp?) snapped into action.Sango took off her outer clothes to reveal her demon exterminater outfit,and stood next to Kilala who had changed in size.Miroku started beating them off with his staff.Shippo sprang into action by jumping,terrified,onto Kagome's shoulder,and Kagome dodged the spiders to get to her bow and arrow and she began to shoot them.Kara reached into her bag and pulled out a spear and dodged some rats and at least managed to hit others.Then she pulled out an orange marble from her pocket. ---------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5:Ikumia(A\n:Yeah,my names suck!)
She looked at the marble and said,"You'd better work!!Our lives could depend on it!!"With that she pulled out a lighter,held it up to the marble,and quickly threw it away from her.At once all the rats around her fell away and started to incinerate.Then she started to do her "Happy Dance". "Woah,I wouldn't start celebrating just yet."said a cold voice from the shadows.They all turned around to look at the eerie little man who stepped out of the darkness.He was about the same size as Kara,except that he was an old man.He had a pinched look about his face and his skin had a brownish tinge.He was carrying a wooden pipe,and many other woodwind instruments hung in a bag at his waist.A grin played on his lips and his eyes that burned like coals went strait to Kagome. "He's got a Shikon Shard!!It's not the same one we're looking for,because I can still feel it in its concealment.But he still has one,so be carefull!!!"Kagome shouted before anyone even registered that he was after her alone. "You have burned my rats!But for now,no matter,I'll just summon more!!"he shouted in anger.Then he put his pipe to his lips and began to play.A blood boiling tune came out.It made you want to scream for hours on end,then rip through your skin,just to relive some heat.Their hands automaticly went to their ears.It was too much.Kagome screamed. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A while away Inuyasha sitting in a tree heard her scream and started to dash to her rescue. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The little man finally stopped playing,and when he did,hundreds of more rats came. "My name is Ikumia."(A\n:So I suck at coming up with names?So what?)he said with a smile to shame a crocodile.(A\n:Ahh,poetry.It does the soul good.)Suddenly,two of the rat's long skinny tales lashed out and bound Kagome. "Kara,who is this guy?!?!"Kagome asked as she struggled. "He seems to be The Pied Piper of Feudal Japan."Kara said without any sign of concern. "Don't fall over yourself to help me!!!Oh,no!!It's fun here being tied up with rats tails!!"Kagome shouted sacasticly,irritated at Kara's indifference. "Duh.Inuyasha has probably heard you scream and is on his way here right now!!!!"Kara said in a bored voice. Kagome stopped stuggling and said,"Oh yeah!!Silly me,I forgot!!"Kagome now relaxed and looked at Ikumia and said,"You're dead meat when he gets here!!" Kara was now digging through her pockets and she found what she was looking for,and pulled out a little electric yellow marble."Here it is!!I think marbles are gonna be my favorite way of casting spells!!So easy to carry!!"Kara looked at it and giggled."This one will leave bodies so Inuyasha will see just what was attacking us.Though I doubt he'll like the idea of us being attacked at all!"Then,remembering how to use the little marble she held,she said,"Start making static!!Lots of static!!"They looked at her funny,and she sighed and said,"Shippo,go into my bag and get these whatever is near the top.It should useful."Shippo bounced off of Kagome's shoulder,and landed right next to the bag.He looked at it,grabbed something and held it up. "Will these help?"Shippo asked as he looked curiously at the contents of the bag he was holding. "Perfect!!Now,there is a skinny end of each thing inside,so blow into that end and when the balloons are full,tie off the end.We'll need four.Then give one to Miroku and Sango,and keep two for you and Kagome.Then,everyone needs to rub their balloons on their heads.Shippo,you rub Kagome's balloon on her head."They all stared at her still,except Shippo,who was getting to work.Then when he had them,he gave one to everyone.They all looked at their balloons for a moment with doubt,then they did as she said.Then she threw the marble onto the ground hard,and lighting flashed in the clearing, striking every rat around them down. "No matter,"the evil man said,"I'll summon even more!!!"He raised his pipe to his mouth,and they all covered their ears,so as to block out the heart stopping sound.But before the pipe ever touched his lips,Inuyasha came down into the clearing,and sliced him and his pipe in half. "What in the hell has been going on here?!?!"he asked with confusion. Kagome ran up and hugged Inuyasha(A\n:I love making him blush!!!!^_^),and he got very quiet,and got very red."You saved us!!"she said happily,"I knew you would!!" Shippo bounced over to Kara and asked,"What were those things?" Kara walked over to the bag of balloons pulled out a blue one,then walked over to her bag,and pulled out a helium tank.She made him a balloon,then tied a piece of string to the end.She put the balloons and helium tank away,walked up to him and gave it to him."Thanks for helping me.This is a balloon.It's mostly for decoration." Shippo happily looked at his balloon.Then suddenly looked at Kagome hugging Inuyasha and said,"I was wrong Inuyasha." "How were you wrong?"Kagome asked curiously.She reluctantly stopped hugging Inuyasha and went to the man's remains and pulled out the shard. Inuyasha went even redder.(A\n:HeeHee!!)Then Kara said,"Shippo said Inuyasha had the reflexes of a dead pig!!"Then she laughed her head off.Inuyasha went(if possible)much redder. ------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 6:Psychic That day,they went into the village to look around.As they walked through the fairly large village,they discussed the morning's events."The Pied Piper was hired by a town.He was supposed to rid the town of its rats,but he also marched the children out of the town.There are different endings,but the one that I've heard the most,"Kara said with a nod of her head,"is that he marched the rats and the children into the sea where they all drowned." "Any fox demon children?"asked Shippo with concern. "No."Kara replied and reached into her pocket.She dug around and then she pulled out a velvet drawstring bag. "Then who cares?"Shippo said with a shrug.Then he looked intrestedly(Sp?)at the bag she was holding. "Hey!!I'm still probably considered a child here!!Even though I'm a teenager."Kara looked through her bag and there was a clacking noise. "What's in there?"Shippo asked curiously. "More casting marbles.They help me summon the different variations of the elements."Kara said as she examined a dull white marble. "What element is that?"Shippo asked. "Ice,Frost,Snow,or Hail."she replied."It depends on what thing I use in conjunction with it." "MIROKU!!STOP DOING THAT!!!"Sango shouted up ahead of them. They all sweatdropped.-_-' "He never gives up!"Kagome said with a laugh. Sango was chasing Miroku with her bone boomerang.Miroku was running and trying to avoid her blows.Luna suddenly appeared and said,"Don't hurt this handsome young man!!" Sango and Miroku both sweatdropped.-_-' Sango nudged Miroku and,sniggering,said,"Don't be rude Miroku!!Say hello!!"Miroku just stood there with his sweatdrop getting bigger. "How are you today,Luna?"Kagome said politely. "Don't mock me!!"Luna said to Sango,completely ignoring Kagome."You short tempered tomboy!!" Sango looked furious,and said,"What would you know about it,you maniac?!?!?!" Everyone sweatdropped.-_-' "Maybe we should take a look around while they,*ahem*,get better aquainted."Kara said looking at the unpleasant scene. "Absolutely!!Let's go!!"said Inuyasha,eager to get away. Kara took one last look at the conflict,and turned to go,but as she did,she heard Sango say"Lunatic!!".A look of dawning comprehention(Sp?)crossed her face.She hurried them off,to leave Sango and Luna arguing,and Miroku standing there with the biggest sweatdrop ever seen,looking like an idiot. Once they were a safe distance away she said,"I just realized that the full title that Luna wouldn't tell us must be Luna the Lunatic!!"She added,"I think she's up to something." "Yeah,but can we talk about this over dinner?I'm starved!!"Inuyasha said and his stomach made agreeing noises. "Okay,we can go back to camp,and I'll make you a big bowl of Ramen!!"Kagome said with a smile."We can come back later to drag those two away." ~~~~~~~~~~~ Back at camp,Kagome set to work on making dinner.She sent Shippo to get water for the Ramen.Kara started to make sure she had matirials(Sp)to activate lots of her marbles.She dug through her bag and pulled out items such as a feather,a handheld fan,a flashlight,a caterpillar in a jar,a flower,a test tube filled with dirt,a small rock,a plasic baggie filled with darkness,and few balloons were just some of the items she put into a small pack that fit on her back.(A\n:Are you getting annoyed with my inadvertent rhyming yet?)After half an hour,Shippo came back and asked where the stream was.(A\n:-_-')Kagome kindly took him by the hand and they went off to get some water. After they left Kara said,"Wanna see a way I think I can get psychic powers?"She could barely contain her excitement at the thought. He rolled his eyes and responded,"Oh,absolutely!This I gotta see!!" She looked in her marble bag and pulled out a swirly purple marble.Then she brought out a small box and put the marble in through a hole in the top,and on the bottom there was a little cup on the bottom and it was filled with purple dust.She detatched the cup,looked at it,and filled it with a small amount of water.Then,she looked at him and said,"Bottoms up!"Then she drank all the water in the little cup. ~She's probably gonna trick me somehow.~Inuyasha thought. "Uh,how will tha-Kara?Are you okay?"Inuyasha asked and watched her staring at him with her eyes closed.He didn't know how she was staring,but he could tell. Her eyes snapped open and she said indignantly,"I am NOT trying to trick you!!It worked!!" "What worked?"said Kagome,who just came back with water. ~A slightly different energy is coming off Kara now.~Kagome thought with a frown. "Is my energy really different?"Kara asked her suddenly,after probing her mind. "She's doing something weird!!!"Inuyahsha said with a shocked face. Kara had her eyes closed once more,and she said,"Sango and Miroku are coming back!!Sango is NOT happy,and Mirok-*gag*Blehh!!Is that ALL Miroku ever thinks about?!?!" Inuyasha smelled them coming after she had made her comment.Shippo came dashing back behind Kagome,and Kara said,"Shippo!!That's cute!!"He asked her what was and she replied,"Your thoughts.I won't voice them if you don't want me to though." Sango stomped into camp dragging Miroku behind her."The nerve of that freak!!Calling me blind!!"She looked at all their faces and said,"What happened?" Kagome tried to collect herself and said,"Okay,let's get this straight.Kara,what happened to you ?!?!" Kara took a deep breath,and started to tell what had occurred,"I was getting items to activate my different elemental marbles.I looked at my psychic marble,and realized that I had never figured out how to use it.I thought maybe I should try and my first method came to mind.So I pulled this box out of my bag and I just guessed what it did.It ground my marble into dust,I put the dust into water and drank it.I now have psychic powers." "Why did you do that?"Kagome asked "I wanted to see if the marble could be put to use.I didn't think it would really work!!"Kara said."Hold on,I want to try something."She focused hard on a message she wanted to send to Inuyasha. ~Does this work?~she thought. ~Obviously.~came Inuyasha's reply. "Well,that works."Kara said simply."I can open a link and talk to people with my mind." "Oo oo oo,try it on me!!"Shippo said,jumping up and down. ~Do you think this is cool?~she thought. ~Yeah,of course!!~his excited reply came. ~Me too.~she thought and she smiled at him. "Let's see,what Sango is-AHH!!That's not Sango!!Miroku needs to think about different things!!!"she shouted as she shuddered."I would like to say though,that I don't intend to invade anyone's privacy.Unless I need to,of course.But now I can read the bad guy's mind!!That could come in handy."she said seriously. "Now,what was Miroku thinking about again?"Sango said with a dangerous gleam in her eye,as she looked at swirly-eyed Miroku. ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 7:Shippo's New Friend The next day Kara woke up early.She decided that today she would practice her magic,and then later her demon summoning.She was looking through her marble bag to pick an element to practice,when Shippo hopped up behind her. "Hi,what are you doing?"he asked all of a sudden. "AHHH!!What?Oh,sorry Shippo.I thought I was the only one up,plus I startle very easily."Kara said trying to catch her breath.She had jumped and some of her marbles spilled onto the ground.Shippo started to help pick up the spilled marbles,until a inky black one came to his hand. "What element is this?"he asked and looked at it uneasily. "That's darkness.There really are only the four main elements,but these are sub-divisions."Kara said. "Why not summon that element?Come on,show me!!"Shippo said excitedly. "If I did that I might not be able to change it back until I found the right marble,and by then someone would have noticed."Kara explained. "Good point."Shippo said nodding his head."But can you show me some?" "Of course,it would be my pleasure!!"Kara said happily."But which one to do..."she trailed off,but then decided."See,my bag can sense things like need,or want.So,if I want a bag of marbles to summon the elements,I can pick the elements I want.One of my favorites is one I sorta made up.I call it the good element.I haven't tried it yet.Want me to?"she asked. "Yeah!!Which ones are they?"he asked excitedly. "The pink ones."she replyed. "Wow,they're really light!!"Shippo said with suprise. "Here's why.It's just like blowing a kiss.Really easy."she said,taking the marble he handed her.She gave it a swift kiss and blew it off her hand.It went up into the air and exploded.As it did,several things happened. A rainbow appeared in the sky and pretty flowers sprouted out of the ground.The air around them became pleasantly warm and they felt happy and content all of a sudden.The field around them was full of happy creatures playing. Not just normal animals either.Happy demons began to romp and play in the field.There was a bear demon with three eyes that started to roll around on the ground.There were a few wolf demon cubs that were play fighting in the middle of the field,very close to them.Shippo eyed them warily.He was so busy waching them though,that he didn't see,as Kara did,the little girl fox cub,who was happily chasing a butterfly. Kara tapped Shippo on the shoulder and pointed her out.You could see the pure joy in Shippo's eyes as he ran over to play with her,and it made Kara even happy just to watch the two team up against the butterfly,and yet they could still not quite catch it. "Wow,what a beautiful way to wake up!!"Kagome said behind her. "AHHH!!Oh,sorry.I startle easily."Kara said,so content in watching the fun Shippo was having,she didn't remember this would most definately wake the others up. "AWWWW!!Shippo has a new friend!!!"Kagome squealed."What happened?!?!This is wonderful!!Miroku just HUGGED Sango instead of his usual thing!!It all makes me want to hug something cute!!!"At this point Inuyasha came up behind them looking around in an almost eager way,his ears twitching at every noise.(A\n:Greeeaaat timing.-_-')Kagome hugged him,and instead of his usual blush(A\n:No blush?!?!That's not happy!!!WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!)he smiled and hugged her back.(A\n:Sorry for the mushy stuff,it just came out.)Kara,as usual,sat and watched all the bliss.Shippo ran up to Kara and showed her his new friend.She was pretty,she had dark brown hair which was in two buns tied with dark blue ribbons,bright blue eyes,and was wearing a sky blue kimono. "Her name is Kiyato(A\n:Yes,this name sucks too.Don't get your pants in a bunch!!)!!!"Shippo said as Kiyato smiled."Guess what?Girl fox demons use flowers instead of leaves!!Go on,show her!!"Shippo encouraged his friend to show her skills.Kiyato reached up into her hair,an pulled out a white rose that was fixed in it.She set it on top of her head and there was a *pop* and a little blue kitten was right where she had been.Another *pop* and she was back. "Hello Kiyato!!"Kara said happily,"I'm Kara,and over there are Inuyasha,Kagome,Miroku,and Sango."she said,pointing to each of them in turn. "So,Shippo,is this your girlfriend?"Inuyasha said,teasing him.The marble effect was wearing off.Shippo blushed,(A\n:SHIPPO BLUSHING?!?!An unexplored level of cute!!)and Kiyato just looked down. "No!!She's my FRIEND!!"Shippo said and he added,"Besides,weren't you hugging Kagome for a minute there?"He was pleased that he made Inuyasha blush.(A\n:Back to awkward blushing!!Life is good.) "Is she coming along with us?"Sango asked. "Not another demon brat to torture me!!"Inuyasha moaned. "In that case,absolutely!!"Shippo said with a giggle. Kiyato was on Inuyasha's head in a moment."Why do the half-demon's ears twitch?"she said as she tugged on them. Shippo laughed while everyone else sweatdropped.-_-' "My parents died a while ago.And my brother disapeared."Kiyato said with a sniff. "She's coming!"all three girls said at once. "Well now that that's settled,"Miroku said,"let's eat lunch!!" ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 8:That is Most Likely to Get Me Sued* At lunch the talk turned to the morning's events.They were all very intrested in the concept of a good element.She said she had a bad element marble,but that she would only use it in an utmost emergency.Then Kara told them that she planned on summoning a practice demon that afternoon."I found a good demon to practice with.He's called Duomi(A\n:Yeah,bad name,but you can deal with it!!).One of my marbles may be helpfull."she told them.She had done a psychic scan on Kiyato,,just to make sure she wasn't evil.Not a thing came up.She wasn't evil,,just cute.Kara and Kiyato had become good friends,and Kara was looking for some other kinds of magic for Kiyato to use.She thought that the group should have different kinds of defenses.Her bag was not being cooprative."Stupid bag!!Do I look like I want a turkey dinner?!?!?!(A\n:If you've seen the first Koga episodes,this will make more sense.)No!!!I want some new magic!!!!!!!!"She searched around some more,and thought."What kinds of things can you do?"she asked,desperate for help on her search. "Fox magic or other things?"Kiyato replied from her new favorite perch on Kara's shoulder. "Hobbies or something."Kara said while sampling the turkey dinner."Not too bad."she said with one eyebrow raised. "Sewing,cooking,drawing-"Kiyato said before Shippo interrupted. "Can I see a picture?"he asked,hoping to show her the pretty crayons Kagome had given him. "Sure."Kiyato said as she pulled a thin folded paper from a hidden pocket on the outside of her kimono."She pointed to two people(cute and cartoony,like Shippo's drawings)and said,"That's me,and that is my brother."She looked at the person with longing."He never came back..."she said as #@++! welled up in her eyes.Then she had anime waterfall #@++! started coming out of her eyes at full force.(A\n:CUTE,but sad.) "Don't cry."Kara said soothingly as she cradled the little fox demon with great care. "What happened to your brother?"Miroku asked just as she started to calm down.Bad idea. "I DON'T KNOW!!"she cried,and Shippo came and gave her a hug(A\n:AWWWW!!!!!!)after hitting Miroku on the head.He had to wait until Sango was finished. ~He just went to talk to some new friend he met,and he never came back!!~she thought with #@++! in her eyes. ~Did he tell you what this friend looked like?~Kara asked after opening a link into Kiyato's mind.(Kiyato didn't mind talking like this,in fact,she liked it.)~Do you know where he met his friend?~she thought,trying to find out all she could. ~He said he met his friend while he was hunting for our dinner.Since our parents died,he took good care of me.And no,I never saw his friend.~Kiyato thought calmer than before.(Sango had gagged Miroku.) ~Do you want me to keep this to myself?~she asked. ~That would be okay.~Kiyato thought fairly calmly.She sniffed a bit.She could smell a ham sandwich that someone was trying to hide.She followed the scent and grabbed the food away from Inuyasha,who had been hiding it behind his back.Then she scurried off to Shippo and split the sandwich in half.She gave one half to him,and they ate it before Inuyasha could get it back(A\n:I'm not calling Inuyasha slow,I'm calling their eating skills incredibly fast.). "God has sent fox demons to punish me!!"Inuyasha said with a cry of despair. Kagome rolled her eyes and said,"You already had four!!" Kara,meanwhile,went back to searching through her bag."Rubber chicken,rolling pin, ooo a box of cookies..."she said as she tossed the box to Shippo and Kiyato."....vaccuum cleaner,seashell,glow-in-the-dark stars,apple,Windex,inflatable Captain Underpants,ewww lip gloss,Post-It notes,scarecrow,cookie cutters,glue,pirate literature,pin,gum,glowing ember,chisel,lantern made out of fireflies,naturalist remains,tire,top secret government plans,ugh a Barbie!!"she held it with contempt."If Barbie is so popular,how come you have to BUY her friends?"she asked with a grin.They stared at her."Hmmmm,this might come in handy."she said as she examined an acid-proof Super Soaker filled with acid."Probably too dangerous.Garden hose,sunglasses,paper clip chain,camera,calculater,stickers,roller blades,cooking oil,a scarf knitted with love in every stich,parachute,Slinky,chainsaw...too dangerous again.*sigh*Mayby I'll try later." "As I was saying,"Kiyato continued,"Sewing,cooking,drawing...and I've been working on just aiming at things." "How about a slingshot then?"Kara asked pulling one out of her pocket."I'll look for some ammo.Buttons,floss,crayons,Cheerios,apple sauce,Lifesavers,pickles,bouquet of fish,a goat,English to Esperanto dictionary,phone bill,genade...too dangerous once again.Sugar,dancing space potatoes,toaster,the One Ring,bubble wrap,squirrel,calendar,keyboard,carrots,lemons,machine gun...all the good things are too dangerous!!Light at the end of the tunnel,ewww boogers,ketchup,paintbrush,doorbell,book of nursery rhymes,egg,map of Eygpt,rocket launcher...much too dangerous.Poster of Micheal Jackson...horrific!!!Bleach,illegal space chickens in purple bunny suits,spoon,knock-knock jokes,my imaginary friend,train tickets,ooo a penny!!Bowl of fruit,Scream mask,leprechaun,muffin,the peanut of doom,cherry pie,mattress tags,restraining order,a fire truck,straight *@#*%*,overdue library book,seamonkeys,rubber duckie,copy of the copyright law,the meaning of life,the ugly stick,pom-poms,dead parrot,and...ooo duck tape.I'm keeping that.Self-destuct button,Coke,a clown,cat that curiosity killed,light switch,the 7 dwarves,door knob,a beaver,oooo a silly story!!The boy who ate fire:Once there was a boy who ate fire.He died.Ahhhh,a happy end.Laws of physics,potted plant,trench coat,Cheetos,Fruit Loops,pencil,unicorn,bib,helmet,Oompa Loompas,lightbulb,a leather pouch,and a silk drawstring bag.Let's see what's in those!!!"she said after taking the biggest breath in her life.They all stared in wonder at the items(many of which are copyrighted)that had just gone in and out of the bag. "What WAS all that?"Miroku asked after getting his gag off. Kara replied by saying"Sango,you're supposed to tie the person up so the gag stays on." "Whoops!!I forgot."Sango said as she went to correct her mistake. "Hey,that dosn't answer my que-No,wait!!I'll be go-"he started,but Sango was too quick for him.She reapplied the gag,this time remembering to tie him up. As Miroku lay on his side with a"woe is me"look,the two fox demons came and used him as a seat."What's in the bags?"Kiyato asked with excitement. "In the leather pouch,there are lots of little balls with spikes in their sides."she said as she tenderly held one up."And the silk drawstring bag has little round pebbles and instuctions.'These stones are dipped in a paralyzing agent that must hit an open wound.'Wow,it took a while,but my bag gave me what I need!!"Kara said as she handed the bags to Kiyato. "Hmmm,can I have some dye for the leather to make it match my outfit better?"Kiyato asked,looking distainfully at the fox hide."I can have a strip of cloth tied around my waist.Then I can attach these bags to the cloth,and they're easy accessible!!"she said happily. "How about a white ribbon?"Kara asked holding one up."And what color dye?" "Dark blue,please.It would be too hard to dye it light blue.The hide is too dark."she said sensibly. "And you don't need to dye the silk bag,because it's already white!!"Kara said as she procured(Sp?)the items that Kiyato would need. "Once again,you talk yourself to death and it takes so long,the sun goes down!!!"Inuyasha said,giving her an annoyed look. "Your just grumpy because Kiyato took your last sandwich!!"Kagome said with a dainty snort(A\n:Is there such a thing?Well,here,there is.)."Don't worry,"she added,"I'll make you some Ramen(A\n:Is it just me,or do they eat Ramen a lot?Oh wait,it IS just me.Duh,I'm the author!!)." "Darn,I never got around to summon my practice demon!!Oh well,let's eat."Kara said with a shake of her head and sigh of defeat(A\n:I should write these random ryming words down some where!!). After dinner they all went to sleep.Sango on her woven mat with Kilala,Inuyasha sitting up,Kagome and Shippo in her sleeping bag,Kara and Kiyato in her bag,and Miroku,on the ground(A\n:Have I seen something like this part somewhere else?-_-'). *The objects listed here do not belong to me,well....I do buy some of the products,but I have no legal hold on the trademarks whatsoever.I have not been paid to write this.If my friends are reading this first I'd like to say,HI!!!Then I'd like to say I'm suprised you found it whatever I chose to do with it,I'm fairly sure I would not have shown it to you since you have been enormously unsupportive.SO NYAH TO YOU,-EDIT-,ZACH,ZACH**,AUSTIN,AND JOHN!!!!(A\n:Btw,if you've read my organizer,you should see a pattern between that and my lists.Also,John,you should see some famillair objects from a Lucas Arts*** game.) **Or should I say Tubbs? ***I do not own Lucas Arts,I just like to play their adventure games. ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 9:A Familliar Dream* The knight walked up to the bunny.Suddenly,the bunny jumped up and bit his head off."I warned you!!"said Tim the enchanter. "I've soiled my armor again!!"Sir Robin whined. "I warned you,but did you listen to me?Oh,no.You knew it all didn't you?Oh,it's just a harmless little bunny,isn't it?Well,it's always the same,I always tell them-"Tim laughed before he was cut off. "Oh,shut up!!"King Arthur shouted."Right,charge!!!" The knights came forth,and the rabbit procceded to kill them.Before his numbers were totaled,King Arthur shouted,"Run away!!"He and his remaining knights fled.Tim the enchanter continued to laugh.They began to see how many they lost."We lost Gawain,Ector and Bors,that's five."King Arthur said. "Three,sir."Sir Gallahad corrected. "Three.We better not risk another frontal assault.That rabbit's dynamite."King Arthur observed with frustration. "Will it help to confuse it if we run away some more?"Sir Robin questioned. "Oh,shut up.Go and change your armor."King Arthur said with irritation. "Let us taunt it.It may become so cross that it will make a mistake."Sir Gallahad suggested. "Like what?"King Arthur wanted to know. "Well-"Sir Gallahad started.There was a pause. "Have we got bows?"Sir Lancelot offered. "No."King Arthur said distractedly. "We have the Holy Hand Grenade."Sir Lancelot pointed out. "Yes,of course!!The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch."King Arthur said before he continued,"Tis one of the sacred relics Brother Maynard carries."King Arthur said excitedly.Then he called,"Brother Maynard,bring up the Holy Hand Genade." A monk stepped forward carrying a chest.Some guys in hoods were chanting in the backround.Another monk came behind him carrying a heavy looking book.The first monk handed the chest to Sir Guenivire.He and King Arthur took out the Holy Hand Grenade."How does it,umm.....How does it work?"King Arthur said with uncertainty. "I know not,my liege."Sir Lancelot said. "Consult the'Book of Armaments.'"King Arthur commanded. "Armaments Chapter 2 verses 9 to 21."the first monk said as he motioned for the second monk to read the book. "'And St.Attila raised the hand grenade up on high saying,"O Lord,bless this Thy hand grenade,that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits,in Thy mercy."'"the second monk began,continuing by saying,"'And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats-'"the second monk went on. The first monk interrupted,"Skip a bit,Brother." The second monk went forward and read,"'And the Lord spake saying"First, thou shalt take out the Holy Pin.Then,shalt thou count to three.No more,no less.Three shall be the number thou shalt count,and the number of the counting shall be three.Four shalt thou not count,neither count thou two,exceping that thou then procceed to three.Five is right out.Once the number three,being the third number,be reached,then lobbest thou Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe,who,being naughty in my sight,shall snuff it"'" The second monk closed the book,and the first monk said,"Amen." "Amen."the men repeated. King Arthur pulled out the pin and said,"One,two,five!!" "Three,sir."Sir Gallahad corrected. "Three!!"King Arthur repeated.Then he threw the it at the rabbit and it blew up. Kara woke up,after that familliar dream,slightly disoriented."What happened?"she asked as she looked around her.Then she relised that it was the middle of the nite,and that everyone was asleep.She shrugged,then went back to sleep. *This was taken from the "Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail"DVD.I did alter it slightly to make it proper dialouge,but I watched the scene over and over agian with the subtitles on.If this has made you curious about what in the world this is talking about,I would suggest first seeing the movie,then possibly getting the DVD or VHS.I have not been paid to do anything whatsoever,except empty the dishwasher,but that doesn't count,so I would like to remain unsued.I only put this in because I was struck with a strange idea,and because Monty Python is fantabiously(Sp)funny.Thank you!! ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 10:Summoning a Demon She woke the next morning and,having no memory of the dream,gathered supplies to summon Duomi.She got out her flashlight and a glowing white marble.Then she sent Shippo and Kiyato to pick up some sticks.Inuyasha was looking on skepticly(Sp?)at Kara's actions,Kagome was trying to have them eat something other than Ramen for a meal,Sango was polishing her bone boomerang,and Miroku was stuggling against his bonds. "All right,all right,I'll untie you!!"Sango said as she carefully laid down her weapon. "Was it really nessesary to have me tied up all night?!?!"Miroku asked after Sango had removed his gag. "No,but it gave me a break from your perverted ways."Sango said with a shrug.She procceeded to remove the ropes,and when she was done she put them back in Kara's bag. "Well,let me say good morning..."Miroku said as he once again did what Sango would hurt him for doing. "Uh,Sango?Ya might wanna mo-"Inuyasha started but it was too late. "MIROKU!!!HOW ABOUT I TIE YOU UP ALL TODAY TOO?"Sango shouted while kicking his head in to the dirt. "That won't be nessesary!!"Miroku assured her,but she was less than assured.She kept giving him shifty looks,and always watching him from the corner of her eye. "Okay,I think I might be ready."Kara said as she came up from the field."I'm just waiting for the sticks.Should I wait until after breakfast to start summoning?"she said,smelling something other than Ramen cooking. "I vote breakfast!"Sango said,still watching Miroku. "Man does not live on Ramen alone."Miroku agreed. "Something other than Ramen is done!!"Kagome called from the other side of the campsite.She was keeping an eye on the food,and Sango was watching Kilala. "Okay,breakfast it is!!"Kara said happily. "No Ramen today?"Inuyasha asked disapointedly. "Were you not listening?"Kara wondered with desperation. "Hey,why are you all eating sandwiches for breakfast?"Shippo asked as he and Kiyato came into camp carrying an armload of sticks each. "All that came out of my bag,besides Ramen,was bread,peanut butter,jelly,and soda.So we have something other than Ramen for breakfast."Kara said taking a big bite of hers. "I was sad too."Inuyasha assured him as he took a small hesitant bite of his. They sweatdropped.-_-' "I'm starving after getting sticks."Kiyato said as she took a bite of Kara's sandwich."That's good!!!Can I have one?"she asked eagerly. "Of course!!"Kagome said as she handed one to her and Shippo. "So,how do you summon this demon?"Miroku asked with intrest. "Well,first I make a circle with the sticks,then I activate my light marble, after that the demon should appear.The light marble is because some demons like to make a big entrance."Kara said with a shrug of her shoulders.She took another bite,swallowed,and said,"There's a little picture in the back of the book if you want to see."She got up,went to get her book,and showed it to them.It was a tiny picture.The demon looked like a spider,but very wrinkly.In the picture it seemed to be sitting in a HUGE circle made of sticks. "How much room do you need to summon this?"Inuyasha asked with an eyebrow raised. "I'd say the diameter should be about two fully transformed Tetsusaigas."she said and,seeing the shocked looks on their faces,adding,"that's just a rough observation.It could be much less.The picture gives off the impression that he is VERY big." "We got enough sticks right?"Kiyato said with a worried look. "More than enough.I'm making it smaller.It might not be that big.I mean,what demon is?"Kara asked in short choppy sentences(A\n:Sorry,but it's late,and my descriptiveness(Sp)is falling short.If I do show this to my friends,they'll make a smart remark on my last comment.). "Can we help?"Shippo asked. "No,you two go play.I should be able to do it."Kara said and she started off to the field to build the circle. "Let us know before you start!!"Kiyato said.Then she said to Shippo,"I bet I can climb higher up that tree than you can!!!" "Be careful!!"Kagome told them. "We will!!"Kiyato assured her,but then she said,"I can practice shooting things from up there!!" They sweatdropped.-_-' "Kagome,has that shard become anymore clear?I'm tired of sitting around."Inuyasha said with a yawn. "We could get some rice from the village,that is,if you want to go somewhere."Kagome said looking down at her sandwich."I mean,I want some different food than this stuff."she pointed at the Ramen and plate of sandwiches quickly. "I guess.I think they,"Inuyasha pointed at Sango and Miroku,"should stay here.Who knows who we might run into?"he stifled a snigger. "I agree."Kagome said,pulling Inuyasha away as she started to giggle. After they left,Miroku said,"I'm not sure if any of us should be near here."and he nodded at the field. "If something would happen,Kara shouldn't be alone."Sango said sending an odd look his way.Then she nodded her head and smiled. "I'm just saying,that with Kara summoning a demon that does goodness knows what we shoul-"he started. "Awww,I'm hurt.Don't you trust me?"Kara said from close behind him.When he jumped to his feet,she laughed."Ha Ha Ha!!That was awesome!!You should have seen the suprised look on your face!!" "Sango!Why didn't you tell me she was there?!?!?!?!?!"Miroku asked,annoyed. "Telling you would be boring.Kara's way was funny!!"Sango said as she giggled. "I merely meant I didn't want ANYONE,"he looked pointedly at Sango,"to get hurt." Sango looked touched."You were really concerned?"she asked with suprise. "Of course!!"Miroku said scooting closer. "I just didn't think you'd car-YOU PERVERT!!!"Sango was angry now.She began to whack his head into a nearby tree. "Wow,Miroku!!Your a real glutton for punishment!!"Kara said,laughing even harder. Suddenly a rock hit Miroku's head.And it wasn't Sango.They heard a little voice saying,"Don't worry!!That was a regular rock.I brought some up to practice."Then the tree Sango had been banging his head into began to shake.All the branches seemed to be moving.All of a sudden,two small figures jumped down."Was that a good shot?!?!"Kiyato asked ,running to sit on Kara's shoulder. "We saw you finish just as we reached the top.But Kiyato wanted to practice at least once."Shippo explained."Can we watch you summon the demon now?!?!" "Sure,and I don't think we should wait on Kagome and Inuyasha.Inuyasha will probably get in a fight or something."Kara said,knowing what people might say in the village.He had gotten some strange looks the other times they went into the village.They were likely to make mean remarks,and Inuyasha was likely to try and kill them.Same old,same old. They walked to the circle that she had built,and while they stopped a ways back,she walked to the middle and set down her marble.Then she went to the edge of the circle and said,"There has to be a beam of light pointed at it.Otherwise,they would all go off everytime I pulled them out during the day."She pulled out her flashlight and warned,"Don't look directly at it.It will blind you."Then she shined the light at the marble.There was a blinding(A\n:Told you!!)flash,and the ground shook slightly.When the flash ended there was nothing there. "Mayby it was summoned somewhere else."Miroku said logicly.Then he pointed,"There is another field over there." "Let's go see."Kara said,slightly disappointed. They began to walk across the field when,"Ewww,I stepped on a little spider!!"Kiyato said. "Well,then that's not the one we're looking for."Miroku said as they walked on. They searched for an hour before they finally gave up.They had just gotten back when the ground shook again.This time it felt like it came from the village.They had barely started to go check when they ran into Kagome and Inuyasha fighting. Apparrently,what had happened was,Kagome had met what she thought to be Hojo's ancestor.He had been eyeing Inuyasha warily and he had asked if Kagome would like to go for a walk.Alone.Needless to say Inuyasha started to get angry and they tried to leave,but Hojo's ancestor was as determined as Hojo.He asked if she would like to some other time.When Inuyasha said no before Kagome could say anything,Hojo's ancestor said demon's did not deserve humans.(A\n:I don't like Hojo or his ancestors.And they're stupid,so they say stupid things that get them nearly killed.^_^)While Inuyasha started to rip him apart,Kagome had said the magic word and pulled him back towards camp,leaving a severly wounded boy behind.(A\n:Hooray!!!) Later that night Kara was looking through her book.She looked at the picture and said,"Ohhhhhhh!!!I forgot to read the caption!!" "What does the caption say?"Sango asked. "Actual size.*" *I know the last part is from Buffy the Vampire Slayer,but I couldn't have Monty Python and not Buffy!!! ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 11:Anger and Floating Fun "Would you call my demon summoning a success?"Kara asked the next afternoon. "Well,you summoned the demon.It was just a mistake of recognizing the size."Miroku said,concentrating on his usual habits. "It wasn't that ba-MIROKU!!!!HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO POUND YOU?!?!?!"Sango asked as she slapped him over and over again. "I should do something to stop Miroku from doing that."Kara said while sniggering."It is more funny to watch Sango get angry at him,though." "Let's go for a walk!!"Kagome said suddenly.Then she grabbed Inuyasha's hand and made the others follow her.They walked through the forest,and Miroku continued to "bother" Sango.After she beat him into oblivion,things began to settle down. Miroku began to try and charm Sango.This means appropriate(Sp?)things only.When he complimented her she told him to shove it.They were suprised.Sango usually welcomed his "good" behavior.Kagome noticed there was something different about her aura.It seemed angry.She tapped Kara on the shoulder and asked,"What is Sango thinking?" Kara opened a link to her mind,and heard,~I hate Miroku!!I need to make sure he hates me too.~ Kara turned around and said,"Very un-Sango thoughts.There is like,pure hate in her thoughts.All centered around Miroku!!!!!!She really likes him,I can tell with my books." "Ask her something.Find something out!!!"Kagome said,looking nervously at Sango. "Sango?Do you EVER think nice thoughts abought Miroku?"Kara asked casually. "I used to.I don't anymore.I don't know why."Sango said thoughtfully. They had gotten back to camp."We should think about this."Kara whispered to Kagome."In the meantime,I'll help Kiyato practice her aim."She walked over to her bag,pulled out some hard boiled eggs,and gave them to Kiyato.She quietly told her to aim them at Miroku.Then she sat down to watch and think. "Hey!!What did you do that for?!?!"Miroku asked after Kiyato plastered him with eggs. "*giggle*I have to practice!!"Kiyato replied as she took aim again. Miroku started to "help" her practice with a moving target.She was having a bit more trouble with that."Aim where he is going to be."Kara told her as she was deep in thought. Kiyato accidentally hit Inuyasha."Oops!!!"she said as she ran over to Shippo.Then they both ran away as Inuyasha picked up some eggs and started to chase them. While the pile of hard boiled eggs was abandoned,Sango picked one up."Uh-oh....."Miroku said as he was once again under fire. Kara tried to figure out what was making Sango act this way.She was usually calm and happy when Miroku wasn't "bothering" her."I have to wait until I finish 'Real Magic for Fake Dummies' until I can do more advanced things like revealing spells(A\n:A revealing spell would show what was possessing Sango.)."Kara told Kagome quietly."I should make sure to practice daily.Otherwise,Miroku will have to deal with this for quite a while.I'm not sure if he can!!" "How long will it take you to finish the book?"Kagome asked. "Who knows?"Kara replied as one of Inuyasha's eggs hit Kagome's face. "INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!"Kagome shouted as she started to chase Inuyasha who was now running from Kagome while chasing the fox demons. Kara surveyed the chaos and giggled.Then she decided to practice her magic.It seemed like a good time to try her "Bubble Sheild Charm".She went to her bag,pulled out a bottle of bubbles and a vial of Sheild Dust.Sheild Dust was a metal sheild with magic properties that had been ground into dust.She sprinkled that into the bubbles and she blew a bubble that floated towards Miroku and grew big enough to cover him.It started to absorb him into the safety of its interior(Sp?).Everyone looked startled as he started to float upwards toward the sky."That's not supposed to happen!!!!!"Kara said with a look of panic."It's supposed to make a half-bubble around him that's connected to the ground!!" Sango laughed,"It's like all my troubles are floating away!!" "I need to fix this!!"Kara said as she ran toward her bag.She dug around for a while until she pulled out a hollow bamboo reed and a thorn.The thorn had anti-magic poured on it."This should do it!!"She took aim and fired,and by some miracle she actually hit it.The bubble popped and Miroku fell downwards.And can you guess who he landed on? "OWWWW!!!"Sango shouted through Miroku's back. "Hey,it wasn't much fun for me either!!"Miroku groaned as he sat up and got off Sango. ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 12:Realization She was still apologizing after dinner.She apologized to Sango for making Miroku fall on her,and Miroku for making him fall on Sango and making her(if possible)hate him even more."I didn't mean to!!"Kara tried to tell them,but they wouldn't listen.Sango and Miroku took walks in opposite directions and Kara sat down in the tent she had decided to put up after the "Bubble Incident"."I'm doomed.I'm going to bring pain and trouble instead of helpfullness and peace."she said miserably as she laid back onto her sleeping bag. "If you're going to do all that,"Inuyasha said as he stepped into the tent,"just leave,you stupid girl!!!"All of a sudden Kagome walked into the tent looking very angry. "Sit boy!!!(A\n:First time she used her command in my fic,I do believe.Where I made her say it in what you're reading.)"she commanded. "AHHHHHH!!!*thud*"Inuyasha shouted as he crashed to the ground. "Don't listen to him Kara."Kagome said as she stepped over Inuyasha."He just has no tact." "I just thought it would protect Miroku.I wonder if I will ever get it right.*sigh*"Kara said. "Don't worry.I'm sure you can do magic.You just can't get it right all the time."Kiyato said comfortingly. "True."Kara said."If I got it right ALL the time,I'd spontaneously combust!!Nobody can get it right ALL the time!!" "That's the spirit!!"Shippo said. "It's time to hit the hay!"Kagome said cheerfully."Inuyasha,could you get Sango and Miroku?They should be near camp at night.Come on Shippo,let's go to bed."Kagome said with a yawn. "Okay.But we're leaving that flap thing open.Never know when we might be attacked.And I won't be gone long."Inuyasha said as he leapt out the door. "Be careful!!"Kagome called after him. "Yeah,yeah."Inuyasha rolled his eyes. ~Won't she ever learn that I can take care of myself?SHE'S the one that needs protecting!!Well,I guess she's just worried about me.But what does that mean?~Inuyasha wondered as he started to track Sango and Miroku. He found Sango walking around the village,trying to find Luna so she could pick a fight with her.Apparently,Luna was not a night person.He told her to go back to the campsite,and she said,"Fine.Why should I waste my time on that loser?" Miroku was sitting on a hill looking at the ground in a depressed way.Inuyasha tapped him on the shoulder and said,"Kagome says that we should all be at camp.Kara put up this weird shelter.So now,I'm sitting by Sango and Kilala's mat,which is by Kagome's bag,and since Kara is immune to you,you sleep by her.Kagome is on the other side of Kara.Make a move towards that direction and I'll break your arm!!And of course,the brats get to sleep with the girls." "Okay.I'm coming.You go on ahead."Miroku said with a sigh. "See you at camp!!"Inuyasha called as he ran back towards the tent. They were all asleep when he got back.All except one."I was worried that something might have happened!!"Kagome said as he came in. "Relax.I'm here,and I'll protect you."Inuyasha said sitting down in next to Sango. "What about Miroku?He's sleeping near me."Kagome said,and she hugged Shippo in his sleep. "I already warned him."Inuyasha said reassuringly. "I'm here.Good night."Miroku said as he walked over towards Kara. "Okay,well sweet dreams Inuyasha!!"Kagome said as she snuggled in her sleeping bag next to Shippo. "Good night."Inuyasha said quietly. ~~~~~~~~~~~ It was morning and when Kara got up,the only other person awake was Miroku."I've been thinking."Miroku said. "Wow,I'm impressed!!"Kara said sarcasticly. "What?Oh,no I-what again?Oh dang,I forgot."Miroku said with much confusion. "You should have stopped when I was impressed."she said,rolling her eyes. Miroku had thought about the "Bubble Incident",and he decided that Kara really was only trying to help him.Now he tried to remember his thoughts."Hmmm........Oh!!I remember!!If Sango used to think nice things about me before,why can't she now?" A look of realization lit up her face."Of course!!It was as simple as that!!!!Gee,now all I have to do is MAKE a spell to let her think freely!!"Kara said with a sweatdrop.-_-' "Would making a spell be hard?"Miroku asked. "Well,I would need ingredients that would solve a similar problem."Kara said biting her lip in thought. "Huh?"Miroku was confused. "For instance,a lock with a key in it could be an ingredient.Or an unlocked pair of handcuffs."Kara said as she pulled a notebook and a pen from her bag and began to make a list. "I understand all but the strange handcuff word."Miroku said. Kagome came out of the tent yawning and she was trying to pull Inuyasha out."Let's stay in the tent!!Miroku is out there!!He might try something!!!"Inuyasha protested. "Hey,Kagome!!Miroku made me realize what's going on!!!!!!"Kara said as Kagome made Inuyasha come out by putting him in a tight squeeze and dragging him out.He was blushing like crazy(A\n:I just noticed that there has been little Inuyasha blushing.Maybe I should promise to make him blush every chapter!!Or at least every other chapter.). "Oh?And what is that?"Kagome asked she leaned on Inuyasha sleepily.Inuyasha made the red on his face look like it was a volcano(A\n:I'm making up for lost time). "She's been put under a spell so she CAN'T think anything good about Miroku!!"Kara said as she went to wake up the little fox demons in the tent.This left Sango to sleep alone with Kilala. "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!"Miroku shouted."WHO WOULD DO THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!" "Possibly someone who wanted Miroku all to themself."Kara said,and everyone got her meaning(A\n:Did you?). "Well,fix it before tonight.I don't want any distractions while I'm human."Inuyasha said with a frown.She was still apologizing after dinner.She apologized to Sango for making Miroku fall on her,and Miroku for making him fall on Sango and making her(if possible)hate him even more."I didn't mean to!!"Kara tried to tell them,but they wouldn't listen.Sango and Miroku took walks in opposite directions and Kara sat down in the tent she had decided to put up after the "Bubble Incident"."I'm doomed.I'm going to bring pain and trouble instead of helpfullness and peace."she said miserably as she laid back onto her sleeping bag. ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 13:Cured "I forgot!!"Kagome said. "Gee,Kagome you sure do know how to make a guy feel special!!"Inuyasha said sarcasticly.He thought Kagome would remember. "Awww,do you need a hug?"Kagome asked.Then she gave him one(A\n:More lost time to make up for!!!).Inuyasha blushed. "Okay,I feel special now.You can let go."he said in a very embarassed voice. Kagome was slightly hurt.That is,until she saw the look on his face.Then she decided to be impulsivly(Sp?)affectionate more often(A\n:See?I'm trying to make him blush every chapter!!!). Miroku coughed."Back to the problem,don't you think?"he asked,satisfied with the deep blushes he got as a response(A\n:I strike again!!!MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!). "l'm done with my list!!!"Kara said as she gathered the stuff she would need. "Can I lend you some help there?"Miroku asked as she struggled to carry an open safe past him. "I'll manage."she assured him.As an afterthought she added,"I still need to make up some silly rhyme that applies to our situation.I've written lots of silly things(A\n:I write lots of silly RHYMING things^_~).No sweat." "How much longer will this take?"Inuyasha asked. "Depends if I have insperation."Kara replied,giving him not much of an answer. "What is your insperation?"Kagome asked. "Miroku getting beaten up by Sango."Kara replied. "Uh,you don't need that much insperation,do you?"Miroku asked nervously. "Probably not."Kara said as she started to think. Shippo and Kiyato were running in circles around Miroku,and he was starting to get dizzy."I don't feel so good...."Miroku said,suffering from motion sickness. "Go lay down in the tent then!!"Inuyasha said,annoyed at how easily humans could get sick. "Okay,I think this should do."Kara said as she finished her rhyme."And,"she added"I didn't need insperation!!!Good thing for Miroku."She held up her notebook and read,"'Let her thoughts no more distain.Release the hold on her brain.'Not my best work,and it is pretty lame.But,it should get the job done." "Do it before Sango wakes up!!"Shippo said in a whisper."Miroku is in the tent,and I daresay she won't be asleep much longer!!" "I can solve that problem!!"Inuyasha said,walking towards the tent. "No!!!!You might wake Sango!!"Kagome said in a hurried whisper. "Just keep an eye on him,okay?"Kara asked as she looked for something to put the various items on.She dug around and pulled out a sled(A\n:The kind that is shaped like a soap dish.)and put everything on it.Then she began to arrange people.Inuyasha had to stand on one foot and wave his arms in the air.Kagome was told to pretend to milk a cow.Shippo stood on his head.Kiyato stood on his head too. "Ow,could you get off my head?"Shippo asked. "Sorry."Kiyato said as she waited for instuctions. "Kiyato,you stand on one finger while balancing a bowl of Ramen on your head."Kara said as she gave the bowl to her. Kiyato stepped on her finger and balanced the bowl of Ramen on her head.Kara walked up to her bag and pulled out a camera.Then she took a picture.Everybody blinked as they saw spots."YOU JUST WANTED TO TAKE SILLY PICTURES OF US?!?!?!?!?!"Kagome asked in disbelief. "Okay,for real this time!!!!"she said as she walked up to the sled(A\n:Honest to goodness most of these are accidental!!).She put her feet behind her head(A\n:I can really do this,and I couldn't resist putting one of my strange talents in here.)and said the really stupid rhyme. Miroku walked out of the tent and asked,"Hey,shouldn't we start the spell?" They sweatdropped.-_-' Sango walked out of the tent too."Good morning!!"Sango said pleasantly.She saw Miroku staring at her and asked,"Miroku?Are you alright?" Miroku,overjoyed,ran up and hugged her(A\n:This perversion free Miroku hug is brought to you by:Me!!!!). "What a nice way to wake up!!"Sango commented. ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 14:Dishes
"So I was under a spell?"Sango asked as they ate breakfast. Kara took another bite of cereal and said,"Yup." "A spell that made me hate Miroku?"Sango asked. "That was the deal."Kara said in a barely noticable bored tone.She finished her cereal. "Who would waste their time doing that?"Sango asked as everyone sweatdropped.-_-' "We think it might have been Luna."Kagome said as she went to the stream to wash the dishes. "Kagome,let me help you with those."Sango said as she went to lend a hand before the dishes that Kagome was carrying could break. "So,what are the plans for tonight?"Kara asked with a sigh. "What plans?"Miroku asked as he streched out on Sango's mat. "You're just asking for trouble,doing that."Kara told Miroku as Kilala laid down beside him. "Nah,Sango likes me again.Besides,what plans?"Miroku said as he petted Kilala with his un-cursed hand. "Plans for defense?I would think you guys do something during the new moon."Kara elaborated. "Mostly lay low."Inuyasha said as the fox cubs had a shape-shifting practice session. "Do the kitty again."Shippo said as the older people talked. "Okay."Kiyato said as she changed form."Your turn."said kitten Kiyato. "What should I do?"Shippo asked as she came back with a *pop*. "Hmmmmm.......ohhh,I've got it!!Do Luna and sneak up on Miroku!!"Kiyato said with a giggle. "Okay."Shippo said with an evil grin(A\n:Cute and evil!!!AWWWWW!!!!).He changed behind a tree when no one was looking and then he walked up to the campsite. "Hey!!!You put a spell on-"Inuyasha started but Kara put her hand over his mouth. "Shhh!!We're not sure she did it!!"Kara whispered in his ear."So act normal!!!" "What was that?"Shippo asked in his best Luna impersonation. "I said,'Hey!!!You put a shell on your head!!!'"Inuyasha said,thinking quickly. "I did?"Shippo asked while he felt around on his head. "No,just this leaf."Inuyasha said as he walked over and flicked it off. One *pop* later,Shippo had to explain himself."Ahhhhh!!!Don't hurt me!!"Shippo shouted as Inuyasha started to chase him.Of course,Kagome and Sango came back NOW with sparkly clean stacks of dishes."Kagome!!Help!!!!"Shippo shouted as he hid behind her. "Oh no,brat!!"Inuyasha said as he ran towards Kagome,not noticing the dishes(A\n:I wonder what will happen?-_-'). "INUYASHA!!!!!"Kagome shouted so loud that Inuyasha had to press his ears to his head(A\n:Picture that.He'd look cute like a scolded puppy!!!),so as not to be deafened. This got his attention(obviously),and he skidded to a halt.He stopped just short of Kagome and the dishes(A\n:Whew!You thought I would have him make a mess!!),and Shippo hid behind Sango. Inuyasha followed pursuit,but as he did,he bumped into Kagome and Sango quite hard(A\n:I love to have him make messes!!^_~).There was a huge *CRASH* and the dishes were broken. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!?!"Kagome shouted not as loudly as before. "I don't know."Miroku said,getting off Sango's mat quickly. "Got me."Kara said as she looked at Kiyato.She had wisely run to Kara when Shippo was exposed.Now she was sitting in Kara's lap looking fearfully at Inuyasha. ~What are we going to say?~she thought,racking her brain for exuses. "They were just testing Inuyasha's senses."Kara said quickly,after probing Kiyato's mind. Everyone looked at her."How would you know that?"Miroku asked with a puzzled look. She tapped her head."Remember?"she asked in an amused tone. "Oh yeah.I forgot."Miroku said. "Well?Did you know it was Shippo?"Kagome asked Inuyasha. "Yeah.But only when I got closer.Luna smells like......"Inuyasha paused. "What's the matter?"Sango asked while she hit Miroku for laying on her mat. "Told you so."Kara said,sticking her tongue out at Miroku. "Come to think of it....Luna doesn't smell like anything at all!!"Inuyasha realized with a frown. "No scent?That's strange."Sango commented. "Do you mean no natural scent?Masked by a feudal perfume?"Kagome asked as she completely ignored the broken dishes and sat down next to him. "No scent at all."Inuyasha said.He squirmed uncomfortably and blushed(A\n:I really am trying!!)when Kagome scooted in a little closer,just to see him blush(A\n:She likes his blush now too!!!It's addictive I tell you,addictive!!!!!Join the blushing revolution,or be embarassed beyond all belief!!!We will crush you with the blush!!-_-'.....Sorry about that.I was in the moment.^_^). "We'll pick up those dishes now,shall we?"Kara said,indicating herself and the fox cubs. "Yeah,thanks."Kagome said distractedly.She was still watching Inuyasha blush. Once the broken dishes were gone,Kara asked,"Should we get out new ones?It's lunch time already." "Sure.I'm starved,aren't you Inuyasha?"Kagome said,still eyeing his blush. "I-I am p-pretty hungry."Inuyasha said nevously as Kagome leaned over him to get some Spaghettios** for their lunch. ~Tonight should be interesting.~Miroku thought looking at Kagome and Inuyasha. *I just realized that I don't own Inuyasha.But if it turns out I'm a very distant relative of Rumiko Takahashi who could one day have copyright privelages(Sp),I'll let you know.I'll ask my Magic 8 Ball***.............Signs point to no.Well,dang.That's depressing. **Guess what?I don't own that company either. ***This is another company I don't own. ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 15:An Old Friend Returns
It was after lunch and well into the afternoon before they began to do anything towards getting ready.They put the camp fire mostly out so as not to be seen,and Kara sprayed a bit of bug spray around the camp because bugs were everywhere.She assured them it was natural bug spray,so it wouldn't harm the environment(A\n:Recycle as often as you can.Most of the world's garbage is paper.Think of how many trees could have been saved if that had been recycled.I've decided to bring my story to school a couple of chapters ago,and I printed Chapters 7-14 on recycled paper,and I'll print the rest of the chapters on that too.Unless I run out of recycled paper,then I'll get more recycled paper.Mother Nature CAN kill you.Don't give her a reason to.Now,back to my lovely story.It just occured to me that I haven't written anything about me taking baths or changing clothes.I have been.I've just been changing clothes and bathing in what is not written,for privacy.I'm not an un-hygienic slob.NOW back to my lovely story.*rolls eyes at own sillyness*).Then they all went into the tent to wait for the new moon.Kara tried to teach everyone poker,but she only knew roughly how the game was played. "What are we supposed to poke again?"Inuyasha asked as he looked at the back of his cards,thereby showing his hand to everyone.He had a winning hand. Kara sweatdropped.-_-' "It's just a name."Kara said,reaching over and making him hide his cards again. "Uh-oh."Shippo said as he pointed at Inuyasha's hair.The white was starting to sort of melt away.His ears(A\n:NO!!!!NOT THE EARS!!!!)retracted into his head(A\n:WAHHH!!),and his claws shrank into normal fingernails.Human ears started to come out the sides of his head.The amber color went out of his eyes,and they turned brown like Kagome's,Sango's,and Kara's. Kara was looking very sadly at him."What?"he asked. "Your ears are gone!!!!"she said with a sigh. Inuyasha sweatdropped.-_-' "I miss my demon parts more than you do!!"Inuyasha shouted before he yelled,"OW!!"He scratched at his neck. "Your human blood is never as satisfying as your half-demon blood.It has the wonderful taste of human and demon."a voice at his neck said. "How did you find us?"Kagome asked as she looked at Inuyasha's neck.Then she frowned and looked towards the entrance. "I didn't.I was hopping outside when I felt almost fatally ill.So I decided to come in here until the feeling went away.But I saw you guys in here,and I had to stop and talk."Myoga the cowardly flea demon explained."Who're they?"he asked pointing at Kara and Kiyato. "That's Kara.And that's Kiyato.They-Hey!!Where are you going?"Inuyasha said as he jumped to his feet and caught Kagome by the arm. "The jewel shard.The one that was concealed.I can sense it more now.But it still seems to be everywhere.What should we do?"Kagome asked him looking around. "Well,that's terribly inconvienient."Miroku said,frowning. "Why is the half-demon human now?"Kiyato asked,jumping on Inuyasha's head to look for his ears(A\n:Has someone else done this to human Inuyasha?-_-'). "First,let's decide what to do.Shippo can tell you later."Sango said,prioritising.They all looked at Inuyasha,wondering what to do. "Kagome,you said the shard seems to be everywhere,right?"Inuyasha asked.When she nodded he continued,"So that means we need to split up.Sango and Miroku,you can take the forests over there.Shippo and Kiyato,you take the village.Try not to attract attention.Kagome and I will check by the stream,and that leaves Kara and Myoga to check the fields.Any questions?"he asked after pointing out each area in turn. "Yes.What if she,"Myoga pointed at Kara and said,"gets attacked?Uh,I mean what if you need information?" "Hey!!I'm able to take care of myself!!!"Kara said as she flicked the flea demon across the tent. "Let's get going then!"Miroku said putting down his cards.The others followed suit,and headed out of the tent.Kara zipped up the flap and put some wood on the fire so it wouldn't totally burn out while they were gone.Then,all of them exept Kagome,Inuyasha,Kara,and Myoga,split up.You had to walk through the field to get to the stream.Kara and Myoga stopped in the field and started to look.Kagome and Inuyasha continued towards the stream,but before they even got there,Myoga came hopping up onto Inuyasha's shoulder. "There is something wrong with that girl!!"Myoga shouted in his human ear. "I think we all know that."Inuyasha said as he twirled his finger around his temple and rolled his eyes.Kagome elbowed him in the stomach."That hurt!"Inuyasha said as he rubbed his stomach. "No,she is doing the stangest things.It's like she's possesed!!!!"Myoga said,waving his arms for emphasis. ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 16:Not Just Psychic "So,what happened?"Kagome asked Myoga as they walked swiftly to the field. "She just felt around in this red velvet bag that was at her waist.Then she started to do the strangest things."Myoga said as he hopped from Inuyasha's shoulder to hers.They reached the field and Kara was hopping on one foot acting like a bird,and occasionally she would twirl.There were glowing spheres rotating around her.It was,indeed strange looking. "Uh,Kara?Are you okay?"Kagome asked as she stepped cautiously towards Kara. "Sure.I've just lost my marbles!!"Kara said with a smile. "That's obvious."Inuyasha said in a sarcastic tone.He was elbowed in the stomach once again. "So,what are you doing?"Kagome asked,pulling her elbow away from Inuyasha's stomach. "My marble summoning spell.Hold on I'm almost done!!"Kara said as she started to float(A\n:I couldn't resist putting this in.It would be so cool to do!!).Now she was floating in the air in a sitting postion,while the spheres continued to rotate around her.They just now noticed that the spheres where glowing different colors.It then became apparant that the spheres were her marbles.All of a sudden,she began to decend onto the ground while the marbles were shooting into her velvet bag decending next to her.Then she got up out of her sitting position and put her bag back at her waist."So,what's up?"she asked in a "get down to business" voice. They sweatdropped.-_-' "What the hell was THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"Inuyasha asked,gesturing to the spot where she previously stood. "I dropped my marbles from camp to here.I thought ahead earlier and made it so I can summon my marbles.I think I might be telekinetic(A\n:I couldn't resist!!),not just psychic.I made the marbles zoom around me.It was cool."she said all in one breath. "We're wasting time!Explain later."Inuyasha said shortly as he took Kagome's hand and pulled her back to the stream to search. "What do you mean psychic?"Myoga asked nervously from her shoulder as they continued to search. "I can read minds.Now I think I may be telekinetic."Kara said.There wasn't much to search.It was an open field.Same as it had been the day Kiyato came,and same as the day she summoned the demon."Do you think we should help look through the forests?"she asked as she started to walk in that direction. "The forests provide many places to hide(A\n:These rhymes just happen!!).Uh,I mean,yes.Sango and Miroku could probably use some help."Myoga said. "In other words,Sango could use a break from Miroku."Kara said,rolling her eyes. Sure enough,when they found the pair,Miroku had lots of bumps on his head.Sango was fuming.Her face was red(A\n:From anger and embarassment.),and she looked ready to kill. "Miroku,what's the point of Sango being able to like you if you make her mad all the time?"Kara asked with a sigh. "What are you guys doing here?I thought you were supposed to be looking in the field."Sango said,turning around. "Well,there was an incident,and Inuyasha and Kagome went back to seach the river.Then we looked in the field,which needless to say didn't take very long as the field is open space."Myoga explained. "Incident?"Sango wondered. "It wasn't that bad.You guys just didn't know what I was doing."Kara said as she rolled her eyes. "And that would be..."Miroku asked while rubbing his head. "My marble summoning spell.It's supposed to look crazy,because of that phrase."Kara said.Then she suddenly asked,"Did I mention that I might be telekinetic?" That last sentence made them stare."How much weirder can you get?"Miroku asked with disbelief. "THAT was rude!!!"Sango said after smacking him. "So,telekinetic,huh?Good for you."Miroku said dazedly. "Uh-Yeah,watch."Kara told them as she pulled out a marble.She concentrated(A\n:I can't concentrate that well in real life.Here I can.)and the marble began to float around her head.Then she floated it back into her marble bag. "Wow,cool!Can you float heavier things?"Sango asked. "Probably not yet,but I could practice concentration and get better."Kara said she floated Myoga. "Hey!!!Let me down!!"Myoga yelled irritatedly. "Okay.I need to practice later anyway.Right now we should find that demon.I wonder how Kagome and Inuyasha are doing."Kara said,looking in the direction of the stream. ~~~~~~~~~~~ "Nothing!There's nothing here!"Inuyasha muttered with annoyance. "Calm down.The others must be doing better."Kagome said soothingly. ~~~~~~~~~~~ "No good.No foreboding presence,no trace, and the demon is a no-show."Kara said,kicking at the dirt. "What about Shippo and Kiyato?"Sango asked. "Listen for yourself."Miroku said,gesturing at the village. "What do you mean listen?"Sango asked with raised eyebrows. "If the demon were there,there would most likely be screaming and panicing.But all is quiet."he replied."That's why Inuyasha sent them there.They're the least likely to find the demon." "But,they're demons.Won't they attract a certain degree of attention?"Sango asked doubtfully. "You're forgetting that their powers allow them to project false forms around themselves.In short,they're illusionists.They should be able to blend in."Miroku explained. "I suppose.But I have a feeling that everything isn't okay there."Sango said.Then she shivered at the thought of what might be happening. ~~~~~~~~~~~ It was gaining on them.They tried to run faster,but they were almost too tired to run as fast as they were.It seemed to want to keep out of sight as much as they did.They had to run quietly for that reason,and running quietly and fast is by no means easy.Maybe Inuyasha could.It still wouldn't be that easy.And if they didn't do something soon,they would be cornered(A\n:I'm cornered too.What should happen?Oh well.I'll think of something.). "Shippo,I can't keep this up much longer.What should we do?"Kiyato panted. "Well,since this isn't your everyday village,they have guards.So we can't just walk out.And I'm not sure if we could get over these walls without them seeing us,either.Walls are all around the city!"Shippo elaborated. "So we make an excuse to get past the guards.How about that?"Kiyato offered. "Like?"Shippo asked."Oh no!!"he said as he skidded to a halt.Dead end.Planning quickly,Shippo said,"Throw those rocks over the wall!" The small pile of rocks was quickly gone.But when the demon turned the corner,there were two large rocks.The demon still stayed in the shadows as it walked away unseen(A\n:Kinda obvious.Sorry.). Once the demon was gone the rocks moved and two little figures came out from behind them(A\n:Suprise!!-_-'). "I'm going to go warn Kagome.Inuyasha too,I guess.You warn Kara and Myoga,then you can all go warn Sango and Miroku."Shippo told her as he looked quickly around.*pop*And a little pink balloon floated away. "Okay."she said.*pop*And a little light blue balloon floated away in a different direction. (A\n:I need to make adjustments to the story.I found some mistakes.You'll see in the chapter after the next.) ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 17:Dawn* "Kara,Kara,Kara!!!"Kiyato shouted as she *pop*ed back to normal and came running up to her.Then she sat on her shoulder. "What's wrong?"Kara asked as she petted Kiyato's head. "The demon was in the village!!!It chased me and Shippo,and when we got away,he went to warn Inuyasha and Kagome.Then he told me to come and warn you."Kiyato explained. "I *bonk* TOLD *bonk* YOU *bonk*!!!!"Sango shouted as she hit him with her bone boomerang. "Let's go make sure it doesn't escape!"Kara said.Then she ran towards the village.Everyone else followed. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Inuyasha and Kagome were about to give up and go back,when,"Kagome!Demon!Town!" Shippo came floating over to them and he *pop*ed into Kagome's arms. "Slow down.Take a deep breath.Now,what now?"Kagome said as she was holding him. "There was a demon chasing me and Kiyato through the town!!"Shippo said,waving his arms. "Ohhhh,are you okay?"Kagome asked while she gave him a hug. "The runt is fine!Now let's get that demon!"Inuyasha said. "What about Kiyato and the others?"Kagome asked Shippo as she followed Inuyasha. "Kiyato went to warn them.We'll probably see them there."Shippo said. "I'm proud of how well you handled this,Shippo."Kagome told him.That made Shippo look proud. ~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where was it?"Myoga asked.They were swiftly,yet casually,walking through the town.They had waited for Inuyasha and Kagome at the entrance for a while but then they figured Shippo was still getting them. "I forget.We were sorta running blindly."Kiyato said uneasily. They sweatdropped.-_-' "Wait,I remember that corner!It leads to the alley we were running in!!"Kiyato shouted."We have to walk a while till we get to the dead end.We should be quiet.The demon might have come back to look for us." "Good idea."Sango said as they walked silently down the alley. "Up there is the dead end."Kiyato said pointing to a corner up ahead aways. They walked for a while,until Miroku whispered,"I see it.We're coming closer....and does anyone else hear voices?" "Yeah,loud voices.Shhh,listen."Kara said as they all leaned in to hear the voices. ~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where did the rocks go?!?!?!?!?!?!"Shippo asked,looking around. "Where were they in the first place,you little pipsqueak?!?!?!?!"Inuyasha shouted as he shook Shippo rapidly. "Hey!"Kagome yelled as she took Shippo away from him."Just because you're more testy during a new moon,doesn't mean you get to take it out on Shippo!!!" "He asked us where the rocks went!!!!What a stupid question!!"Inuyasha yelled right back at her. "He was thinking out loud!!!!You can't think at all you moron!"Kagome said as her famous temper flared up. "Do you mean that?"Inuyasha said,slightly hurt. "Well,no.But your attitude is really bugging me!Can you try to be pleasant?"Kagome asked in a pleading tone. "Fine,bitc-Kagome."Inuyasha responded with sigh. Kagome sweatdropped and said,"Thanks,I appreacate(Sp?)the effort." "Inuyasha started to show effort!!Now he and Kagome can stop fighting so much!!"Sango said gleefully.They were not watching anymore,but talking to each other. "Don't get your hopes up.Once Inuyasha gets things to go good for him,he usually throws in some rude remark and Kagome goes running home.He almost always screws things up between him and Kagome."Miroku warned her. "I do not!!!"Inuyasha said as he came around the corner."Like all those things with Koga.They weren't my fault.He came where he wasn't wanted." "Inuyasha,don't get so upset!"Kagome said. Inuyasha's hair was turning white,his ears were normal again(A\n:EARS,EARS,EARS!!!),and his eyes changed back to amber. "I think it's dawn."Miroku said while he yawned and stretched. "What was your first clue?"Inuyasha said,rolling his eyes. "Let's go back to the camp and sleep at least an hour and forever."Kiyato said,stifling a yawn(A\n:She's soooo cute!!!). "Sounds good to me."Kara said,shrugging her shoulders and heading in that direction. *While writing this chapter,I got book #17,I do belive.Pats for Patrick!!** **If you watch a lot of SpongeBob SquarePants,this will make more sense. ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 18:Back to Normal? "Hey,Kagome!Mom told me to get you up,or else you're gonna be late for school!"Sota shouted from the bottom of the stairs. Kagome was confused.~Wasn't I just in the feudal era?Did I have some sort of fight with Inuyasha?Why wouldn't I remember it then?Oh,this is soooo confusing!~ She hastily got out of bed and got ready.She was pulling on a shoe as she hopped down the stairs,and her family was eating breakfast in the normal fashion.Which meant her grandpa was rambling on about old things. "The Shikon Jewel will give one's family safety and prosperity.That's why I got these boxes full of them for our little shop.Not many people are needing exorcisms these days,and nobody seems to want to contact the gods.Maybe people will be interested in hearing the legend if they buy one."Kagome heard her grandpa saying.When he saw her, he asked,"Would you like to hear it's legend,Kagome?" "I already know more about it then you do."Kagome said,thinking the man must be going senile."And you better not have told my school I have some gross or embarassing disease!" The old man was confused."No,why would I do that?" Kagome tried not to sweatdrop."Forget it.I need some breakfast."She got some Pop-Tarts(A\n:Yes,they might not have these in Japan.I just had some at Hannah's house.It was fun because we rented movies...and I'm betting you'd rather that I get back to the story.)and sat down and started to think as she ate. ~What in the world is going on here?Maybe I-~ Her thoughts were cut off by Sota running after the fat family cat shouting,"Buyo,come back!I have to make sure you're in my room before school!Hey,don't you dare go outside!NO!Come back here!!" Sota was chasing Buyo all over the shrine when Kagome came running outside,almost going to be late for school.As she ran by the wellhouse,she decided to pick up speed in case Inuyasha smelled her on the other side.She probably had tons of homework to do so she didn't want Inuyasha dragging her back on the shard hunt.She was dashing down the stairs while Sota was yelling for her to come back and help him.She ignored him,thinking that this was a very familliar morning.It was a whole bunch of deja`-vu. She had a shock when she got to school.She had no make-up work to do,no tests to make-up for,no diseases at all,and her friends told her they saw her yesterday.She went through the day like nothing was wrong,and then she raced home to ask her mother what in the world was going on. She came running through door and ran into the kitchen to find her mother icing a cake."What's the cake for?"Kagome asked,still regaining her breath. Her mother gave her a strange look and said,"Honey,have you forgotten?You turned 15 today!" Kagome stared at her in shock."I've BEEN 15 for quite some time now!I've been 15 since that centipede demon dragged me down the well!I've been 15 for all the time I've been hunting for those shards!" Now it was her mom's turn to stare."What are you talking about?Look at the calander if you don't belive me." Kagome's heart started to thump.It WAS her birthday,and she must have missed the centipede woman.It was the day she got dragged down the well,the day where she met Inuyasha,and she realized now that she LIKED shard hunting. Meeting Inuyasha was part of who she was now.She liked knowing Sango,Miroku,Shippo,Kiyato,and Kara.Sure,she had school and stuff,but saving people and helping her friends was more important. But she realized that her shot at that was over.If it would only come back,she wouldn't go home as often.She would try harder to get along with Inuyasha,but her chance just had to come back!!! ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 19:More Marbles Kagome woke up.Her heart was thumping more wildly than it had been in her dream.Looking around,she noticed it was about the time they usually got up.She thanked God for another chance. Without giving it a second thought,she ran over to Inuyasha and gave him a bone(human bones)crunching hug. "AAHHHHH!!!"Inuyasha shouted at the sudden pressure on him.He looked down and asked,"Kagome,what's the matter?" His shout had woken everyone else up,and there was yawning aplenty. "What did you wake us up for?Hey,I have an idea for another elemental marble!I had an idea for another new marble a while back."Kara said,Kiyato on her shoulder. She went over to her bag and she pulled out a handful of rainbow marbles and put them in her marble bag. "What were those marbles for?"Sango asked.Kara's bag was getting pretty full of marbles,and she had only given a rough description of what some could do. "Energy.And I can't tell you the other new one yet.All will be revealed in due time."Kara said mysteriously.They all gave her a strange look,but then they shook it off. "Now,Kagome,what's up?Why the hugging all of a sudden?"Miroku asked,raising an eyebrow and winking at Inuyasha. Inuyasha turned crimson(Sp?)(A\n:I couldn't make him blush in the last chapter,or the chapter before that,so I have more blushing to make up for.). "I had the most terrible dream.It was the day I got dragged down the well,only I didn't in my dream.I just realized that I like having adventures while going shard hunting.All of this,"Kagome gestured to the world around them,"is part of who I am now.All of you are part of my life.It was so scary thinking you guys were gone forever!!" "It was only a dream."Shippo said as he went to make her feel better.Kagome let go of Inuyasha and hugged Shippo. "I think I remember some sort of dream a couple of days ago.I think it was about Monty Python.Don't ask.It was kinda weird,and I know where it came from.It really doesn't relate to your dream,I just thought I should mention it."Kara said uncertainly. "So you really LIKE staying here?"Inuyasha asked while he looked at his lap. "Of course!But every once in a while,I have to do tests and homework and crud."Kagome assured him. "We should eat some breakfast."Kara said,pulling some pancake mix,syrup,and of course,dishes out of her bag. "While breakfast is getting ready,can you show us how the energy marble works?"Kiyato asked from Kara's shoulder. "Sure.The energy marble needs to just be thrown forcefully at someone,and then it gives them a temporary energy boost."Kara said as she threw it at Shippo. "Hey,that hurt!!!But I'm feeling it!"Shippo shouted as he started to play tag with his friend. "Let me even out that game."Kara said as she threw another marble at Kiyato. Soon they were running around like little maniacs."It's safe to say that marble works.I'll try the other new one later." "That should prove interesting."Miroku said,thinking of what was to come. ------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 20:Another Old "Friend" Kara decided she would have to try her other new marble soon."The problem is that I'm not sure what it will do each time.It could use the power of any of my other marbles,or something much worse.So,I would like to take precautions first."Kara explained. "So is that today's 'Big Event'?"Inuyasha asked sarcasticly. "Might as well be.I'm tired of just sitting around."Sango said with a sigh. "Okay,well you might want to brace yourselves."Kara said warningly. She pulled out her second newest marble,that was black with a white question mark inside,and she threw it up into the air(A\n:Sorry,but I wasn't sure how I should activate this one.Btw:I call this the element of suprise.I got the idea in chapter ten when I snuck up on Miroku.).Immediatly,the ground began to shake violently and boulders fell from the sky. "It's imitating my rock marble!!If we go back to the tent we should be fine.It's close enough to the forest that it won't get hit.See how it's only raining in the fields?"Kara said as they all ran. Inside the tent it was quieter and less boulders were falling."What the hell was that again?"Inuyasha asked,waving his arms. "My rock marble.To activate the actual one,I have to wedge it in a hollow rock or just a whole bunch of rocks.I call the marble I just used'The element of suprise.'"Kara said. "Uh-oh.I think we have another problem.There are two shards coming at us really fast!!"Kagome said with wide eyes. "And we all know what that means..."Kara said in a knowing voice. They all looked at her and shook their heads."It means that-"Kara started but she was cut off. "Kouga!"Kagome said with suprise.(A\n:The tent flap is open,btw.) "Hi,Kagome!I could smell you in the area,and then there was this earthquake so I thought I should check on you!"Kouga said,obviously happy to see Kagome.He wasn't,however,happy to see Inuyasha."Hey,dog turd.You better be taking good care of Kagome!" Inuyasha was turning red.Not from embarassment,but from anger."Where do you get off just coming and going as you please?!?!?!I'm protecting Kagome,and you're off God knows where,doing God knows what!!!She's not your woman!!"he shouted. The rest of Kouga's companions were coming now,and they looked out of breath."Kouga,you have got to start waiting for us."Ginta said as he sat on a nearby fallen boulder. "Oh,hi Kagome!"Hokaku added.There seemed to be more wolves than usual,with a lot of cubs. "I remember them!!They were in the field the day I met Kiyato!!"Shippo shouted as he pointed at the cubs. "Yeah,who're the new people?"Kouga asked eyeing Kara and Kiyato,who was on Kara's shoulder,warily."If they're a danger to Kagome,I'm taking them out!!" "That's Kara,"Kagome said,pointing at her,"and that's Kiyato." "And I didn't mean for it to rain boulders!I just had to test my new marble!I'm handling my magic quite well now,thank you!"Kara said,forgetting that he didn't know anything about her. "You did that?!?!"Ginta asked with wide eyes. "I said I didn't mean to!"Kara said,thinking he was blaming her. "Everyone,calm yourselves!"Miroku said in a voice that demanded order. "So what are you doing here anyway Kagome?"Kouga asked casually. "There is a shard that is concealed somewhere in this area.Last night it became clearer,but it still seemed to be everywhere.So we looked for it,Shippo and Kiyato got chased,and we still didn't find the demon."Kagome explained. "And now it's time for you to run away again."Inuyasha said,trying to make him leave. "Just for that,I think I'll hang around a while."Kouga said with a grin as he scooted closer to Kagome. "Well,if you're staying,we'll need to make more food than usual."Sango said sensibly as she pulled out packets of Ramen."If it makes you feel any better,we can have your favorite food."she added to Inuyasha. "I can hunt for my own food!"Kouga said.His friends tried not to sweatdrop,because they were tired and hungry. "Kouga,what you catch you eat raw.Since you can catch diseases from that,I insist that you let me cook you some food.I won't take no for an answer!"Kagome said firmly,leaving no room for argument. "Here that mutt?She cares about me."Kouga taunted Inuyasha. "Of course I do.You're my friend."Kagome said,rolling her eyes. "We can discuss details after lunch."Kara said. ~Well,I got to meet Kouga after all.Over the next few days,I'll probably be laughing my head off.~Kara thought with amusement.
