Ok here's chapter 3 sorry I haven't posted but I've had a stupid History Paper to do.

Disclaimer: This is getting old…I do not own Inuyasha (sad but true). Enjoy


New members new stories...

I have to find those two son-of-a-bitches. It's the only way I can become leader again; I must kill them both. Koga thought as he ran through the forest. Up ahead he finds a tiger demon…

"Finally an opponent…Come on and fight!" said Ronin challengingly. Koga stands in front of him with a confused look and places his hand on Ronin's head.

"Aren't you short for a tiger demon?" replied Koga.

"Grr, I'm not short! C'mon and fight!" answered Ronin angrily.

"Look I don't wanna fight you kid" Koga said trying to keep his honor.

Ronin stood pondering for a moment before speaking, "Hmm, I understand if you're scared. I mean, with these super sharp claws I have," he stared at his claws admiring them, "even I would be scared or maybe it's the fact that you are a simple minded mutt," Ronin smiled triumphantly.

"What did you just call me?" Koga hissed.

"You heard me; I called you an M-U-T-T mutt!" Ronin laughed.

Just then, Inuyasha (and company) reached the clearing where Ronin stood mocking Koga.

"Koga?" said Kagome. Koga turns around and smiles when he sees Kagome.

"Kagome!" he shouted happily. Koga punches Ronin in the face and runs off to hug Kagome, only to be stopped by Inuyasha. Ronin is sitting on the ground rubbing his now red and sore cheek; and watching the others.

"So you're still hanging around this weakling" Koga said pushing Inuyasha away.

"Who are you calling a weakling, wolf?" Inuyasha replied angrily.

"You, albino runt!" Koga yelled in his face.

"You should be put down for rabies!" Inuyasha replied also in his face.

Ronin found their insults amusing, he tried not to laugh but the laughter overwhelmed him. He burst out laughing only to receive menacing glares at him.

"What are you laughing at?!" Koga and Inuyasha yelled in unison.

"Eepp! Uhh…Nothing!!" Ronin squeaked as Koga and Inuyasha went back to arguing.

"I'd wish you two would stop arguing for at least one day and get along" Kagome sighed tired of the same thing every time Koga shows up.

"Not gonna happen," Koga and Inuyasha replied glaring at each other.

Inuyasha and Koga continued arguing by now Kagome was annoyed by their constant arguing. But before she could shut them up Koga changed the subject completely leaving Kagome with her mouth open.

"Hey have you guys seen two wolf demons named Mai and Kane?" Koga asked hoping they have.

"Well…" Kagome started.

"No," Inuyasha interrupted as Koga ran off.

"Who are you anyway?" Inuyasha asked Ronin after Koga left.

"Name's Ronin," Ronin proudly replied as he put his sword away.

"What are you doing out here anyway?" Miroku asked staring nervously at his two swords.

"That's none of your business!" Ronin replied as he jumped into the shadows and disappeared.

"Hey, Inuyasha. Why'd you tell Koga that we haven't seen Mai and Kane when we have?" Kagome asked still confused at what he told Koga.

"Because I didn't like the way he was asking about them it was like he wanted to kill them or something" Inuyasha replied finding a place for them to camp.

"I guess your right and they did seem kinda nice" Kagome said climbing on Inuyasha's back.

"That Kane almost beat me up and you call her nice" Inuyasha asked as he led them to a nearby hot spring.

"Well you did kinda hurt her sister" Kagome said trying to hold onto Inuyasha.

"I guess your right" Inuyasha said as he set her down where they were gonna camp.

Later that night the gang set up camp and started to prepare dinner little did they know that they were being watched by someone in the shadows…


"I wonder where Naraku could be." Kagome asked hating the silence between them.

"I don't know we haven't seen him or found any clue to his whereabouts" Miroku replied talking the bowl of stew Sango was offering him.

"No matter what we try he always seems to escape with a stupid grin on his face" Sango replied sitting next to Miroku.

"Someday we will defeat him don't you worry about that" Inuyasha said clenching his fists.

Ronin was listening in on their conversation from a tree branch high up in a tree. He was getting curious about this Naraku person they were talking about.

Maybe this is what I've been waiting for. If they can't kill this Naraku he must be a worthy opponent he said to himself still listening into their conversation.

Inuyasha stopped "wolfing" down the ramen Kagome had prepared for him and looked up into the tree and smiled. Then he continued eating.

Miroku noticed and asked "Inuyasha, did you sense something?"

Inuyasha smiled and with a mouthful of ramen replied "Ronin, you can come down now. Try being quiet the next time you try to eavesdrop." Within seconds Ronin pounced down with a surprised look on his face.

"I can't believe you noticed! Grr, how did you know?" he said angrily. Because he couldn't finish his ramen Inuyasha replied annoyed at his question

"What did you expect; that wolf stench may still be around here but I can still smell your rotten scent."

"Was that a shot?!" Ronin asked already getting really pissed at Inuyasha.

"What do you think, I'm still part Inu youkai and like other Inu youkai's I hate cats!" Inuyasha replied then ignoring Ronin to finish his ramen.

"I'm not a cat… T…I…G…E…R… TIGER!!!! GRRR…." Ronin replied now ready to explode.

"Uhh, Ronin calm down…" added Kagome. Ronin sighed and looked around at everyone.

"Hey! Wait a minute. You know my name, but I don't know yours or any of you guys…" he replied.

Kagome thought a moment before answering, picking each word carefully.

"I'm Kagome" She said pointing to herself. "They are Miroku, Sango and her best and loyal friend Kirara." She said pointing to each of them in turn. "And last but not the least grateful, is the big jerk Inuyasha." She said showing she was mocking him by laughing and sticking her tongue out at Inuyasha.

As always Inuyasha paid more attention to his food than to his surroundings, Kagome would be spared for now…

"We travel together to defeat the one known as Naraku. He has wronged each of us and we want revenge. We are also collecting the jew-"

"Shhhh!" Sango interrupted Miroku just as he was mentioning the jewel shards. "That information is for need to know only… Sorry Ronin, but there's some things you don't need to and shouldn't know about." Sango replied nervously.

"Don't worry about it. Just like you have your secrets I shall keep my own." replied Ronin smiling.

Inuyasha stood up content with his meal. "Well it's time to go!" he concluded.

Ronin watched as they packed up and began to say goodbye to him. "Um, wait up!!! Can I join you guys?" he shouted hoping for the best.

Each of them looked at him and then at each other. "I don't know. You are kind of a pest." Inuyasha stated.

"Oh, come on!!!" Ronin whined.

"Hmmm, well you could be useful…. Fine you can come." replied Kagome. "Really! Yeah!!!"…

"Kagome" Inuyasha whispered to her.

"Let him come along we could really use his help" Kagome replied grabbing one of Inuyasha's ears.

"Alright but he's your responsibility" Inuyasha said taking his ear away before she gabbed it.

The group continues deeper into the forest, a new companion has joined them on their journey. Though he is happy now that he has company on his journey, Ronin's true intentions shall separate him from his new friends in due time.

"Hey, Inuyasha! Haven't we passed that tree before? Yeah, we have! It's the one where those two wolf demons used to cover themselves as they left." shouted Kagome in an exasperated voice.

"Grr, I can't believe this! We've been walking in circles for hours. We're not getting anywhere. We might as well camp out for the night here." answered Inuyasha in an impatient tone.

"Hey, Ronin. Can you go get firewood with Miroku? We'll need a lot to last the night!" Sango stated in a rhetorical question, obviously obligating them to get firewood and leaving before they could refuse.

"Well I guess that means we're stuck with the chores." Said Miroku to Ronin who stood gaping in disbelief of what had just occurred.

In the forest Miroku and Ronin were picking up firewood from the ground and low branches. "Man, I can't believe we're stuck doing all the dirty work." Ronin shouted in disbelief.

"Help!!!" shouted a voice from afar

"Huh? What was that?" wondered Miroku.

"Help!!! Me!!!" again came a voice from the shadows of the oncoming night.

"What the hell?" shouted Ronin in confusion.

"Help me!!! I'm stuck on a branch above you!" shouted a panther hanyou from above.

Ronin and Miroku look at each other in confusion, but dismissed the mystery and continued to work. At that point a mysterious sound is heard. "Whistling sound dong" is heard as something impacted against Ronin's hollow head.

"What the hell! Miroku! Why did you do that for?" shouted Ronin as he bared his fangs at Miroku.

"I didn't do anything; I'm all the way over here!" Miroku replied annoyed at being blamed and standing a few feet away from Ronin.

"Then who the he-"

"Up here DAMMIT!" interrupted the voice.

At long last Miroku and Ronin looked up to see a Panther Hanyou stuck up in the tree. Ronin automatically fell onto the floor laughing his ass off.

"HA, HA, HA! A Panther hanyou stuck in a tree! HA, HA, HA!" mocked Ronin.

Miroku ignored Ronin and proceeded to ask this strange sight its name.

"My name is Keiji, the panther Hanyou. My travels have led me here. There was Keiji, suffering from starvation when he finds he is sitting under an apple tree-"

"Hey you! Yeah you in the tree! Why are you narrating your own story?" Ronin asked not seeing the point of him telling his own story.

"Why am I narrating my own story? Oh… Well screw it. The point is I was looking for an apple to eat when I slipped and my foot got stuck in this branch. Could you please help me down from here?" Keiji replied hoping they were kind enough to help a hanyou.

"Your name means 'lead cautiously' and you got stuck in a tree… HA, HA, HA!" laughed Ronin oblivious of Keiji's troubles.

Miroku sighed and carelessly opened his wind tunnel.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" shouted Keiji as he flew directly towards the dark vortex.

Just then Miroku closed his wind tunnel and Keiji fell face first on the ground.

"You call yourself a cat? You can't even land on your feet!!!" shouted Ronin as he continued laughing.

Thonk Went Ronin's head after Miroku whacked him with his staff. "Don't forget Ronin, you're also part of the cat family." said Miroku with a smile.

"Sooooo you're Miroku and Ronin. Ummm, it's kinda getting dark… Can I go with you guys?" asked Keiji.

"Never!" shouted Ronin. He smiled as Keiji frowned and began to walk away. Miroku stared at Ronin with flames of anger in his eyes.

"Um, I'm just kidding! Sure you can come… The more the merrier!" he shouted apologetically.

Another new member has joined the Inuyasha gang. Keiji may be a little clumsy but watch out that he can be a great ally. The gang kind heartedly welcomed him into the gang for the journey to find Naraku and the sacred jewel shards…


Malaya was feeling stronger everyday she did chores for Kaede-obachan, but everyday seemed more and more worried about Inuyasha. Even though she knew nothing could kill him easily she still worried about him. Malaya saw two strange figures on top of the hill coming out of the direction of Goshinboku and the bone eaters well.

"Kaede-obachan! Come quickly!" shouted Malaya.

"What is it my child?" replied the exhausted priestess.

"Two strangers are coming towards the village. Should we go to meet them?" she inquired.

"No, they are probably merchants looking to sell their goods. Don't fuss, come and get some rest." replied Kaede as she entered the hut and began to prepare dinner.

"Kane, where are we going? We've been going around in circles" Mai asked as she ran beside Kane.

"I guess you're right we should find a place to stay for the night at least" Kane replied as she stopped under Goshinboku.

"I sensed a village nearby maybe we stay there for the night?" Kane said walking towards the said village.

"But what if they slay demons there?" replied Mai shaking in her fur.

"What are you a wolf or a mouse?" Kane said emotionless.

Kane was walking towards the village and left Mai by herself in the same spot where they had stopped. Mai was looking at her surroundings and then looked at her sister slowly walking towards the village.

"K-Kane! Wait up! I'm a wolf, I'm not a mouse I'm a wolf! Don't leave me behind!" Mai yelled running after her older sister.

Kane continued into the village searching for a place to stay. She walked on until she came to a hut. She stood in front of it and recognized the scent of the Dog Hanyou they had encountered. Curious she entered.

"Kane? Kane, come on. Let's get out of here! Kane?" whispered Mai afraid of being left alone in the middle of the village.

"Hey, isn't that a demon?" "Yeah! Hurry, get Kaede-obachan!" shouted the villagers once they saw Mai standing alone in the village.

"Kane!!!" she shouted in vain.

Kane entered and saw a young woman sleeping on a mat in the middle of the hut. She proceeded to leaving as the woman stirred.

"Who's there?" asked the woman.

"I'm Kane. I'm sorry for intruding, but is there anywhere my sister and I can stay?" she asked, though she expected the woman to say no.

"If you want, you can stay here for the night. I don't think Kaede-obachan would mind." Replied the woman sleepily.

"Thank you for letting us stay. By the way what's your name?" Kane replied gratefully.

"I'm Malaya, if you don't mind I need to get some rest."

Kane walked outside to find a group of villagers surrounding Mai. Mai sat cowering on the ground wishing she hadn't followed her sister into the village.

"Leave her alone! She didn't do anything to you!" shouted Kane threateningly at the villagers.

"Huh? Another demon? Run!" shouted a villager. The group scattered and hid in the surrounding huts.

"Kane! You came! I thought you had left me…" said Mai gleefully as she ran towards her sister.

"Come on. I found a place for us to stay for the night." replied Kane.

"Um, but won't the villagers come after us again? Shouldn't we leave?" asked Mai in fear.

"What, and stay in the dark forest. Is that what you want?" asked Kane, but her question was only answered by a deep sigh. "I thought so. Now, come on."

They entered the hut and found the hanyou asleep on her futon. Kane moved silently but Mai was still freaked out about the village and stepped into the fire pit burning herself with the cauldron full of stew.

"Ahhhhh, that's hot!" she screamed from the burns and waking the pregnant hanyou.

"Huh, oh, it's you again, is this your sister?" Malaya asked shrugging off the sleep from her.

"Yes, this is my younger sister Mai" Kane replied helping Malaya stand up.

"Thank you, well your both welcome tonight" Malaya said as she treated Mai's burns.

"You're a hanyou am I right?" Kane asked eyeing the ears on her head.

"Yes I am. My mate's name is Inuyasha" Malaya replied as she looked out the reed window at the hill in the horizon.

"I met him" Kane replied sitting down on the floor.

"Really? Is he alright? Was he hurt?" Malaya replied actually now right in Kane's face.

"Yes he was alright" Kane replied leaving out the part of her almost beating him to a pulp.

In the forest Inuyasha and the gang are coming closer to Kaede's village for some rest before they have to journey back to searching for the sacred jewel shards. In Kaede's village a friendship between a pregnant hanyou and two wolf demons slowly rises…


Inuyasha, the gang, and the two newest members a panther hanyou named Keiji and a competitive tiger youkai named Ronin, were headed towards Kaede's village for rest and other things.

"Inuyasha, where are we going?" Ronin asked a little annoyed at the fact that he was being led by a half-breed.

"We're headed towards our village, we need to stock up on supplies and I need to check up on Malaya" Inuyasha replied looking at the ground at the sound of his mate's name.

"Who's Malaya?" Keiji asked not knowing weather if it was wise to ask.

"She's my mate and she's 3 months and 4 weeks pregnant with our first pup" Inuyasha replied as he looked up to see Miroku and Sango going ahead of them but smiling back at Inuyasha.

"She's a hanyou am I right?" Ronin asked feeling it was a bad idea to ask that when Inuyasha gave him a glare that obviously meant what do you think baka.

The rest of trip was silent as they reached the village Inuyasha saw Malaya outside looking for water. Inuyasha got exited and looked at her and Ronin now said something that he would regret for the rest of his life.

"Who the hell is that fat wench?" Ronin asked and then shrunk when Inuyasha sent him a death glare.

"That is my mate! And if you ever call her a wench again I promise you will not live to see another day" Inuyasha replied pinning Ronin to a tree.

"Ok, ok I get it that's Malaya" Ronin said gasping for breath and rubbing where Inuyasha had grabbed him.

Malaya was joined quickly by Mai and Kane outside. Inuyasha had just made it to the clearing and Malaya looked up and saw Inuyasha in the horizon.

"Inuyasha!!" Malaya exclaimed as she ran towards Inuyasha (AN/which was hard to do considering her pregnant belly).

"Malaya, I missed you so much koi" Inuyasha replied as he wrapped his arms around her in a hug.

That night Inuyasha and Kane talked so that they got better acquainted and Malaya got to know Ronin and Keiji. Keiji all the time spent looking at Mai man she's cute, I wonder if I could make a move on her Keiji thought as he kept staring at Mai. Miroku noticed Keiji staring and took him outside for a talk.

"Sooo, you like Mai?" Miroku asked already knowing the answer.

"Yeah I guess I mean she's really cute" Keiji replied blushing a bit. "But I don't know how to make a move on her."

"Well I can help you with that" Miroku replied with a smirk on his face.

That night Miroku taught Keiji all about his old perverted ways saying that those moves would help him get Mai to like him. Inuyasha was sleeping more soundly but Malaya had trouble sleeping she felt something was wrong but couldn't figure out what.

"Are you ok Malaya?" Inuyasha asked moving Malaya on the futon to face him.

"I just have a feeling something is wrong but I don't know what" Malaya replied putting her hand on her stomach.

"Don't worry Malaya everything is alright nothing is wrong" Inuyasha said cupping her face in his hand and kissing her gently.

"I guess you're right. I love you Inuyasha" Malaya replied resting her head against his chest.

"I love you too koi. Good night" Inuyasha said as he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day Mai was fetching water and Kane was hunting in the forest with Inuyasha. Keiji decided to put the lessons of the monk to action and went to Mai.

"Hey Mai" Keiji said smoothly as Mai looked up and saw him next to her.

"Ohh hi Keiji what's up?" Mai said bending over to pick up the bucket of water. Then she felt a hand caress her ass and she saw Keiji's hand on her ass. Slap "You pervert!"

When Kane heard Mai yell at the panther hanyou she rushed over to see what happened. Mai explained to her sister that the hanyou had put his hand on her ass. Kane didn't do anything considering her sister had already taken care of it by slapping the hanyou in the face. Keiji sees that the older wolf demon is prettier considering she let her hair down from the ponytail she usually wore it in and stared at her in amazement at her beauty.

"What are you staring at?" Kane asked as she began to tie her hair in a ponytail.

"Uh... nothing! Nothing!" He said hurriedly waving his hand in the air frantically.

"Then please stop drooling" Kane said as she pointed her hand to her mouth to show him the drool hanging out of his mouth.

That night all Keiji did was stare at Kane but didn't know what turned him on.

"Keiji want some more stew?" Kagome asked motioning for his empty bowl of stew.

"Huh?" His eyes snapped to Kagome. "What?"

"I asked if you wanted so more stew" Kagome replied as she looked him in the eyes.

"Sure!" He chirped, handing her the bowl. His eyes flitted back to Kane as she took it.

That night Keiji couldn't sleep all the thought about was the wolf demon Kane. Ronin always thought his past would be unknown and wouldn't come back to him but he was wrong…
