A/N: I realise I haven't updated in a while and decided to give you a double dose...Last Chapie you saw Inuyasha get what was already comin to him (And I, personally, feel it's about time because what he did was wrong!) and don't worry depending on how I feel you'll get more of that and you saw what was on the girls' minds. Well, this is a double dose soooooo... start readin!

Everyone had gotten into a quiet mode since the fist was thrown and InuYasha went flying, which still made certain people chuckle and other people angry. So…needless to say it was quiet and that's just how they preferred it. If it was quiet that meant there was no need for an alter-cation and no fights meant peace. Despite this fact Shippo had quite a laugh back there. No one ever consulted with InuYasha on the things he does in a long time but Shippo knew the reasons why on some of the people's parts. Sesshomaru wasn't one to concern himself in a pointless discussion. Kouga promised Ayame, no more fighting with InuYasha until Naraku was dead. Kikyo loved him too much. Bankotsu found it useless and it jus agitated him further to listen to the mutt complain about him "putting him down". Jakotsu only told him about himself when he was horny and need motivation, which disgusted everyone else. As for the rest, well they ignored the hell out of the man dressed in red and moved on with their day. And then Niikotsu stepped in, Shippo smirked at this. He hadn't thought about his mother in a really long time and for some strange reason this girl made him think of her but now his thoughts were in overdrive when she punched him…he really wished Kagome could've seen that, he smiled sadly. "What's with the face?" he heard a feminine voice. He looked over to see the girl who made him laugh earlier. He smile a reassuring smile…"What face? There's no face." She gave him a look that said Yeah Right.

"I promise, I won't tell. You think Bankotsu would keep me around if I couldn't shut my mouth?"

"Well…Super Swear you won't tell a soul, dead or otherwise."

She nodded and he sighed.

"There was a woman…She found me when I was young and my parents died…She…She took care of me and helped me in more ways than one…but one day…" Shippo stopped there he couldn't go on, something felt wrong.

"What happened?" Niikotsu said, fully in dept of his story and wanted to know more.

"Naraku…He captured her and…We never saw her again…"

"Oh…" Niikotsu never had parents or at least she didn't remember them so she wasn't sure what to say: Don't worry you'll get new parents? Or maybe: You'll forget about her one day. She never had parents but she was sure once you had them, they stuck to you. She looked at Shippo who seemed worst than when she talked to him. "Hey," she began softly, "You'll get to see her again…Maybe later or maybe soon or maybe not even in this world but…You will see her again…"

"What if, I don't get to see her in this world…What then?"

"Then you can avenge her when the time comes," The young girl smiled. She was young but she seemed wise, Shippo smiled, just like mom. He thought more on her and smiled. I think I'm going to like havin' her around. Shippo decided and walked forward a little straighter than he did when his thoughts got him down. Niikotsu smiled, she liked seeing him happy.

Kikyo on the other hand was seething about the girl that made Shippo smile. She couldn't believe the girl had the nerve to hit InuYasha. Everything was fine before she came along. From a distance Suikotsu watched Kikyo's seething and was truly amused. Maybe she should think her next move twice, he smirked. Renkotsu smirked at his brother's sense of humor. Leave it up to Sui to find a woman in distress funny. The man shook his head and continued to walk when a certain cross dresser came into his vision. He wouldn't lie, Jakotsu looked nice and the only reason he thought that was because the man looked more just than feminine but downright girly. Jakotsu's thoughts however were consumed with the mysterious Lord of the West that was in front of him. OH MY! He is sooooooooo fine! How could I not see before? Blinded by those furry ears of InuYasha, no look at his ASS! Oh, and those muscles, those lean, strong muscles! That long hair…I could just run my fingers through it all day! I wonder what his lips would feel like against mine…Would his teeth hurt my tongue if we took the kissing too far. These comments and thoughts bubbled inside Jakotsu's head making him smile as he went further into thought. Sesshomaru had a hard time restraining his beast from strangling the homo for ogling him. But his other half focused on other things like how Rin has gotten older and boys would be a problem, then there were his lands and even a thought on the disruption earlier that he found quite entertaining. Jaken followed his master, mentally rambling about how great his master is. InuYasha walked at the back of the group with Kouga. InuYasha grumbled but only low enough so the bitch didn't hear him. He was still in shock that she punched him…and he actually moved! The new member of Bankotsu's Band could go to hell for all he cared. Kouga on the other hand found it astounding that the petite girl had that much strength. He smirked, he just might have to get to know her a little better, and then he mentally laughed. As if! I already made a commitment to Ayame. And unlike InuYasha, even though he was his friend, he was not one to cheat.

Bankotsu's mind was everywhere, from Banryu to Naraku. He glanced at the "oversized" sword that was perched on his shoulder. The sword had changed; it wasn't as demonic as it used to be, ever since that damn change Lee put him though. Speaking of the annoyance, he hadn't seen or heard from Lee. It was odd at first but Bankotsu had become accustomed to Lee visiting, whether it was in his mind or when everyone else was asleep. The angel-demon had been secretly training with Lee to help with his new powers, how annoying. His sword wasn't the only thing that changed but he himself as well. Bankotsu had seen a strange kindness in him that he didn't like, but…It was that kindness that convinced him to let Niikotsu stay. He had to admit he enjoyed her company. She was female without all the hassles that came with having a woman around. She was many things and Bankotsu just couldn't define her…At all. He looked over at her. She was much shorter than him and…cute… Did I honestly just think something was cute? Did I seriously just think a WOMAN was cute? Bankotsu had his own words to fit woman: annoying, hot, crazy, a drag, stupid, weak, sexy, and the list went on. But words like cute and adorable never came into his vocabulary when he talked or thought about ANYTHING. So that was a new one. He couldn't help but noticed how Shippo's emotions had switched from depressed to thoughtful. I didn't even go into her advice-giving skills and she has good conversation… Deciding that was enough thought on his new member for now he changed his thoughts to Naraku…Just what was he planning?..

A/N Yup its another one but in this one you see the boys' minds. At first I thought it would be fun to have Kouga chase Kags like the good old days but luckily I actually can stand Ayame. For all my fan girls of Sexy Sesshy (I know I'm one!) a little of Jakotsu's fantasy lol. Ban is having his thoughts on Niikotsu and if you want them to get deeper just tell me and there will be some fun coming up, I'm jus trying to get all the characters used to Nii-Nii..Ummmm I'm open to any suggestions you have to make as well as critisisim soo bye for now...
