A/N: I'm alive! I'm alive! Heh heh, I'm sorry for the delay in Define 'Love'. You know the typical trip to your grandparents, right? Well, here I am in Dubios, without my disk, trying to work with this stupid computer with MAJOR error problems. Maybe Santa can drop off a laptop...phft!

Kagome Higarashi sat down under a shady tree, utterly exhausted from their long trip. Honestly, Inuyasha can be such a stubborn idiot. "We're not taking any more breaks! We can't afford to lose more time. We'll lose Naraku's scent!" Inuyasha exclaimed angrily before they left this morning. Kagome understood the seriousness, but she's not a demon like Inuyasha is. She's not fast like Inuyasha is, nor does she have any spiritual abilities like his Iron Reaver Soul Stealer.
Kagome sighed as she let her back fall to the grassy ground. She felt like sleeping, but in the back of her mind, she knows Inuyasha would get mad if she did. So what? Kagome thought as her eyes fell shut. I don't care if he gets mad at me. Seconds later, Kagome was in a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Sango was resting near the riverbank, repairing the damages to her Hiraikotsu done by a cougar demon who was seeking jewel shards not too long ago. It was strong enough to knock Hiraikotsu without even flinching. Inuyasha finished him off with his Wind Scar, but before he died, he declared a demand to someone named Rakuen.
"Rakuen, avenge me! Curse those fools for eternity!"
After that, Inuyasha said to be on the lookout for anything suspicious to them while they were resting. So far, Sango had saw nothing out of ordinary nor has she sensed any danger. Sango looked over her shoulder to find Kagome asleep under a tree. If Inuyasha saw her now, he would have a fit. Not my buisness. She thought as she turned back to her weapon just in time before the half-demon returned from his demon inspection.
"I didin't see any demons around--HEY!" Inuyasha stormed over to the sleeping schoolgirl. "Since when did I say we could take a nap! Wake up, wench!"
Kagome's brows furrowed as she turned to her side, mumbling inaudible words, which made Inuyasha even more mad. "Grr...I said--"
"--sit."
Inuyasha was pummled into the ground upon rosary command, his limbs twitching in pain on impact. Sango sighed at Inuyasha's stupidity and went back working on her Hiraikotsu, ignoring the angry muttering from the dog demon.
"That's what you get, Inuyasha." Shippou spoke up, a characteristic smirk spreading across his childish face. Inuyasha growled and picked up the kit by the tail. "Aw, shaddup, brat!" He hurled the kit through the air with all his strength.
"KAGOMEEEE!" Shippou yelled before he hit the ground with a muffled thud. Sango shook her head at Shippou's lack of common sense. Shippou groaned as he sat up, anger boiling through his veins. Kagome was asleep, so he turned to the only person capable enoiugh to take him down to the dirt: Sango. (Because Shippou can't do it himself.)
"Sango! Inuyasha's being mean to me!" He whined as he pointed an accusing finger at the demon.
"So?" Sango questioned without looking up. Shippou blinked. "So punish him! You're strong enough!" At this Inuyasha scoffed, which made Sango narrow her eyes.
"That may be true Shippou, but it's not my place to punish him; it's Kagome's." Sango paused. "But I AM capable of taking Inuyasha down." Sango said abrasively.
"HA! You couldn't take me down the first time we met!" Inuyasha exclaimed arrogantly, crossing his arms over his chest, looking at the slayer. Sango finished her Hiraikotsu. Just in time. She thought as she stood from her seat, taking her weapon up with her, determination written across her face.
"Then why don't we have a re-match? After all, we haven't had a chance to finish since we were so rudely interupted." Sango's eyes narrowed at Inuyasha, who in return, sent a glare of his own.
"Fine!" He said as he unsheathed Tetsuiga, it's blade transforming in it's giant curved shape. Inuyasha lept in the air, landing in the field not too far away. By then, Sango had already peeled off her kimono, revealing her slayer armor, and had her hair up in a ponytail. She grabbed ahold of Hiraikotsu's handle, sprinting torward Inuyasha until she was in close range, and hurled it at him. Inuyasha lept out of the way before it hit him. Hiraikotsu returned to Sango. He smirked triumphantly and held his Tetsuiga out, ready to set the match in his favor. He took to the sky, raising Tetsuiga above his head.
"Wind Scar!" Three yellow, jagged lines appeared from Tetsuiga, thrashing torwards Sango. It crashed to the ground. Smoke billowed in the air, which made it hard for Inuyasha to see where Sango is. As he fell back to the ground, he was caught off guard as Hiraikotsu cut through the smog, whirling towards the surpised half-demon. It knocked him in the chest, sending him skidding on the ground on his back. Inuyasha groaned as he sat up. The first thing he saw was Sango's neutral face and her extended hand held out to him.
"Satisfied?"
"Feh.." Inuyasha crossed his arms, fuming silently as they made their wordless trek back to camp. Shippou was snickering as Inuyasha passed by, which earned the kit a bump on the head. Sango dressed back into her kimono before turning in for the night. Inuyasha wasn't happy beuuase they wasted precious time fighting.
"Feh, well tommorow, no breaks, no stops, no nothing. I don't care if I get 'sat' to Hell.." He muttered as he moved to get comfortable in the tree.
Meanwhile, a dark figure in the shadows of the trees gazed at the four unsuspecting travelers, sleeping without a care; watching them with his violet eyes.
"Avenge you, I shall Korumaru." He murmured as he glanced from the unusally dressed girl to the demon slayer.
