"So, you guys found any hints on Naraku's whereabouts yet?" That was the monk...
"No, houshi-sama... but we would've gotten so much more work done if you hadn't been so lecherous last night!" And the extermenator...
"Yeah, Miroku chased the Hime-sama all night yesterday, only to get us kicked out of the tono's palace." Fox kid...
"That's the damn problem with using the same excuse over and over again to get into people's houses. I swear monk! I'm surprised people haven't heard about you!!!" Dog man...
"Inu Yasha... calm down..." That's right, the girl came from this era, didn't she? I followed her... I remember that night, nothing before, nothing after... I know only what happened... not before I met them, or how I got here...

There's Something About Miroku

"Mizu-nee!!!"

"Hm?" The girl looked up. She was average height, with her long black hair tied into a bun, with little pieces sticking out like little legs. She blinked her wide purple eyes. She wiped her brow as a smaller girl ran through the fields towards her.
"Mizu-nee!!!" the girl leaned on her knees and looked up at Mizu.
"What is it, Naru-chan? I've gotta get this stuff in before babaa gets mad."
"She says that there's a crazy youkai at the inn!!! He wants a..." Naru went cross-eyed "sac-ri-fi-ssssse."

"Babaa's tryin' to get rid of me... again..." "Mizu, you little runt get over here." the babaa hissed. Mizu and Naru walked towards the small inn in the middle of a village.

"The only thing remotely close to a youkai around here is babaa over there..." Mizu nudged. Naru held back her giggles and they approached the old lady with serious faces. A young man stood next to the old lady.

"Mizu, dear, would you please go with this man... you're our only hope ya know, otherwise he'll destroy the village."

"I don't want your trash." Mizu looked up at the man. He had long ice blue hair and pale skin. He spoke arrogantly.

"Good, because I wasn't going." Mizu growled to him. What position is he to call me trash? Just because my parents weren't from around here... Damn high-class youkai scum, they think they're better than everyone else, but really, they're more despicable than lowly worms. "Actually, I will take her..." He was fondling the sword at his side.
"NO! DON'T TAKE MIZU-NEE!!!" Naru yelled. She held onto Mizu's waist.
"Don't worry Naru, I'll be fine. I'll just waste'em like I did the last youkai who babaa sent me with." Mizu whispered. "So, you guys found any hints on Naraku's whereabouts yet?"
"No, houshi-sama... but we would've gotten so much more work done if you hadn't been so lecherous last night!"
"Yeah, Miroku chased the Hime-sama all night yesterday, only to get us kicked out of the tono's palace."

"That's the damn problem with using the same excuse over and over again to get into people's houses. I swear monk! I'm surprised people haven't heard about you!!!"
"Inu Yasha... calm down..." I could hear them in the forest as I was dragged by that damn youkai. I never figured out why he took me with him... All he would say was I must find Naraku... I must find him soon... "PLEASE HELP!!!" Naru ran through the forest, hoping to catch up to Mizu. She ran right into the group and pushed through them. The dog man grabbed her by the collar and held her up. She ran through the air.

"This is the kinda stuff I would feed to those shark things that were in your book, right Kagome?"

"Inu Yasha!!!" Kagome yelled back. She was dressed casually for once, in a black sweater and a little blue jean skirt. She took Naru in her arms.

"This girl is obviously in distress..." the monk said

"And where there's distress, there's money to be made, right Miroku? You piss me off!" Inu Yasha yelled.

"Little girl, why are you crying?" Kagome asked.

"The youkai took away Mizu. He stole her away!!" Naru cried.
"Maybe we should help..." Miroku mumbled.

"Houshi-sama..."

"Yes Sango." He looked towards her and the others.

"You do realize this girl is no older than 5... right?" Sango whispered as she inched over to him.
"Of course I do!!!" he yelled.

"We can give you anything you want. I just want Mizu-Nee back!!" the girl cried. "Of course we'll get her back." Shippou said trying to sound heroic.
"Yeah, Inu Yasha loves helping people in distress!" Kagome said enthusiastically.
"And maybe you have a beautiful older sister!" Miroku joined in. Everyone stared at him. "I was just..."
"You were just gonna ask her to bear your child, weren't you..." Sango sighed.
"Bah! I hate this!" Inu Yasha yelled.

CHAPTER 1

Mizu sat on the floor in a little wooden hut. Next to her, the high class youkai was eating the head off of a little squirrel youkai.

"You're gonna have to eat..." He wiped his nasty blue lips. "I can't eat you unless you get plump." He offered her the body of the little squirrel and she looked nauseous. "I knew it was gonna be a bad deal, when I took you, you brat." He snarled.

"BABAA!!!"

"Don't call me that you brat!" Naru ran to the old woman. Inu Yasha and the gang followed.

"Babaa... I hired them to save Mizu-nee." Naru said.

"A group of freaks!" the old lady yelled. "That Mizu girl is not worth your time let me tell you."

"BABAA!!!" Naru cried.

"If you hired them, what are you going to pay them?!" Kagome and Inu Yasha approached the babaa.

"Babaa, do you want us to find your damn kid or not?" Inu Yasha growled. "We don't have time for this!"

"My name is not babaa!!!" she yelled, "it's..."

"We don't have time, babaa!!!" Naru yelled.

Mizu had her hands tied and was being pulled along the forest by the youkai. "You can call me Olaf." He growled.

"Olaf." she snickered.

"Do you not like my name," There was a tone of impatience in his voice.

"Oh don't make me laugh." She stopped walking.

"Keep walking brat." He growled.

"I take it you're not a local youkai either." She looked up at him.

"Either?"

She smirked.

"Inu Yasha are you catching any scent, Inu Yasha?" Kagome asked. Inu Yasha was sniffing the ground like usual.

"Hehe, Inu Yasha is always good for this." Shippou said to Naru who was about his size.

"Hey Shippou! At least I can be used for something, you useless runt!!!" Inu Yasha shook his fist at him.

"Inu Yasha, I think it'd be good if you just kept searching. We really need to get back on track on our search for Naraku..." Miroku said.

"What's with Miroku?" Kagome asked Sango.

"He saw the old lady and how ugly she was and decided that her grandaughter wouldn't be a good candidate to bear his child..." Sango whispered back.

"I did nothing of the sort." Miroku glared at them evilly and they shrunk back.

"I wouldn't doubt it." Inu Yasha said as he continued to sniff the ground. "By the way the old hag looked, I don't see how even a youkai could take someone related to that, and well that probably just turned Miroku away."

"I didn't do such a thing!!!" Miroku hit Inu Yasha over the head with his staff.

"Mizu-nee isn't related to me or babaa..." Naru mumbled.

"Huh? Nobody else in town seemed to care much about her though." Kagome said.

"We found her. She had dragged herself into town and she was all burned up." Naru mumbled. "It was a horrible sight to see her like that. But we nursed her back to health miracuously."

"Burned?" Kagome looked down at Naru. "And you don't know where she came from?"

"No."

"Hey guys I've caught something. It's smells like a youkai." Inu Yasha said.

"Let's go then!" Miroku yelled.

"He seems awfully happy now." Sango sighed.

"I think it's because he found out she wasn't related to that old lady back there." Shippou mumbled.

That's right. When I entered that town... I was burnt, every bit of my skin and my hair was scorched. No one took me in, except for babaa... when she was nice... She didn't mind us calling her babaa, it's the way I was taught to speak... I didn't know any better... I must've caused her so much grief for her to be reduced to what she is now...

"Trying to get away!!!" The youkai hissed. Mizu was running through the forest, back to the village. His eyes were glowing white.

"Oh no, he's transforming!!" she yelled. She dove into the trees to hide from a big blast of energy. "What've I done! He'll attack the village for sure!!" She got up and started running again and ran right into someone. "A monk?"
