Who Says Three's A Crowd?

Summary:

Kagome and Inuyasha go about their journey as usual, (Sango and Miroku took off together) but things start to change when they befriend a spunky tom-boyish demon woman named Datenshi. But there is a hidden secret to their new friend, a secret that might explain why Datenshi has been keeping an unusually close eye on Kagome's frame…

Chapter 1

Kagome sighed as she laid down in the grass on her back. As she stared up at the blue sky above her, Inuyasha emerged from the bushes behind her.

"It's about time." She said, sitting up.

"Hey, its not my fault, I had to go to the bathroom!" Inuyasha snapped.

"Actually it is. I told you I needed to go back home, and you're taking forever! It might be dark by the time we get there." Kagome whined. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as they began walking back to the well.

"What exactly do you need to get from home anyway?" Inuyasha asked.

"Your ramen noodles." Kagome replied.

Inuyasha blinked, picked up Kagome, and used his demon speed to speed them back to the well.

Once Kagome returned from her time, Inuyasha sighed impatiently and walked up to her.

"How long does it take to get some noodles?"

"Honestly Inuyasha, I was only gone for about 5 minutes!" Kagome replied.

"It felt like 5 hours!" Inuyasha argued.

"You're lucky I even bothered to get it for you in the first place!"

"Lucky? How do you know that I even wanted any?"

"AHEM!" A voice interrupted. Kagome and Inuyasha looked up to see a demon woman--or it looked like man, lying up in a tree above them.

Inuyasha pulled out his Tetsuiga.

"Who are you? Come down here!"

"Put your sword away, I'm not going to harm you." The demon replied. She jumped down from the tree so Kagome and Inuyasha could see her better.

The demon was wearing long black pants (like Sesshoumaru's) and a long sleeved kimono (also like Sesshoumaru's but without the flowers). She also wore a black kimono vest that had a silver rose design going down the left side. The demon had long silver hair that was tied back in a low ponytail. It was just as long as Inuyasha's--if not longer. The demon also had deep violet eyes with a ring of light blue blended in the center. From first glance, the demon looked like a man. But Inuyasha could see from 'closer inspection' that she was indeed a woman.

"Who are you?" Inuyasha asked again.

"My name is Datenshi, and you just woke me up from my nap." Datenshi replied, folding her arms.

"Oh we're very sorry. My name is Kagome, and this is Inuyasha." Kagome said with a small smile. Datenshi smiled back.

"Hello Kagome. What brings a human like yourself around here?"

"She's with me, and the rest is none of your business." Inuyasha snapped.

"SIT!" Kagome yelled. Datenshi looked puzzled as Inuyasha plummeted to the ground.

"It's a long story." Kagome replied, scratching her head sheepishly.

"Well why don't you explain it to me while the both of us take a short walk?" Datenshi suggested.

"Sure. Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, looking at him. He simply rolled his eyes, so Kagome left with Datenshi.

"So tell me Kagome, what are you doing traveling with a half demon?" Datenshi asked, after Kagome explained her connection to Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha and I are looking for Naraku. He has the jewel shards that Inuyasha needs to become a full demon, and I help by sensing the jewel shards." Kagome explained as they both made their way back to the well.

"I see. Sounds interesting."

"Would you like to travel with us? I'm sure Inuyasha wouldn't mind."

"Well I mostly prefer to travel alone, but I guess it would be nice to have some…companions." Datenshi replied. Kagome smiled.

"Its settled then." She said as they reached the well where Inuyasha was waiting.

"Hey Inuyasha! Guess who's joining our little quest?" Kagome said running up to him while Datenshi stayed behind.

'This should be interesting.' Datenshi thought, smirking to herself.
