I can't thank you enough for reading my story! But once again Thank you and I hope you contiune to read and enjoy this story!

Inuyasha'sMylover: Ok so here we go haha! I guess it would have been funnier had I made Leigh a punk rocker but I really wanted to make her more earthy so she could connect better with the demon inside aka Midori who is the demon goddess of the earth... you get the point! No Kagome won't get bitchy or jealous because Leigh can do more... Kagome istoo nice to be like that and they aren't really competing for anything or anyone! And yah I think Inuyasha could prolly dig his way to America with the number of times he has been told to sit! Haha! Well I'm not sure what word to insert but I'm super glad you liked the chapter and were really preppy and happy! So keep up your interesting and much apprechiated reviews!


The next morning the sun was out and the weather was beautiful. To everyone's surprise, except Leigh's, Koga announced he was coming along with them on their journey. Inuyasha was, to say the least, upset with this out come.

"WHAT! Another person tagging along! No way! Especially not wolf boy over there!"

"Face it mutt! You need me!" Koga said cockily.

"I don't need you! I don't need anyone! I'll kill Naraku myself!"

"Inuyasha don't be silly! We all want to defeat Naraku for different reasons and if we join together we have a better chance at winning!" Kagome said.

"Yes, Kagome makes an excellent point!" Miroku said, "The more the merrier I always say!"

"Of course you do, especially when there are pretty young girls involved." Sango said under her breath.

"I think its great that you're joining us Koga! Now you can help Inuyasha fight!" Shippo said brightly.

"What do you mean help me fight!" Inuyasha yelled threateningly at the young fox demon.

"Alright there just calm down!" Leigh said laughing as Shippo jumped into her arms, "No one is challenging you Inuyasha. It's just it might be easier to kill Naraku with more people! Especially those who really know how to fight!"

With a gruff primitive sound Inuyasha agreed. Very shortly they set off through the mountains. With Koga's help they were able to find a quick route through them. Unfortunately it still took them a long time to get through. Nearly five days had past since they had left Koga's den when they finally reached the other side of the mountains. According to the past information given to her by Kagome and Inuyasha, Naraku's castle lay in another region of mountains far away. They had been there many times but had never been able to penetrate the barrier. That night they camped out under the stars.


"So… you going for a swim again?" Koga asked Leigh ruefully.

"Not with you around I'm not!" Leigh said walking away.

"So what you're going to stay dirty forever now?"

"Sure if it keeps you away!"

"What was that about?" Kagome asked.

"Nothing…"

"Kagome why don't you come sit with me and leave the mutt to his sword!" Koga said patting his lap.

"Oh um not that's ok I'm fine here!" Kagome said blushing.

"Kagome, if you don't mind me asking, why don't you go with Koga? I mean he is paying attention to you more than a certain other person. And it's not like he isn't good looking or anything!" Leigh said softly into her cousin's ear.

"Leigh it isn't like that! Inuyasha and I… well we're just friends and Koga too! I mean that!"

"Ok… I believe you."

"I don't… I think she really loves Inuyasha but doesn't want to tell him because she's afraid he'll leave her for Kikyo!" Came a small voice on Kagome's left.

"SHIPPO!"

"What it's true! And Inuyasha's too much of a scaredy-cat to tell her how he fells!"

"Well aren't you very inquisitive!" Leigh said laughing and ruffling his hair, "But I think it's time for you to sleep!"

"Fine but you haven't heard the last of me!" Shippo said as he stumbled off to his sleeping spot.

All of a sudden there came and scream and the sound of someone hitting someone else and from the other side of the fire stalked Sango.

"Oh one of these day's I'm going to kill that lecherous monk and his wondering hands!" Sango said as she sat down with the other too girls.

"Hey! Feel like working off some of that anger?" Leigh asked.

"Sure what did you have in mind?"

"Another training session?"

"Ok that's sound perfect! You coming Kagome?"

"No, you two go. I think I'm going to catch some rest with Shippo! Be careful though!"

"Always!" Leigh said hugging Kagome good night.


The two girls walked away from the fire and further out into the empty field. Kirara following closely behind Sango they stopped.

"Alright so for tonight I say was just practice fighting Kirara. We'll work together. Sound good?"

"Mhmmm!"

"Ok Kirara do you're stuff!" In a burst of fire the cute little cat turned into the large cat demon it truly was.

"Ok you ready?" Sango asked.

"You bet I am!"

Leigh ran at the demon at full pace. Just as she reached her she dodged to the left and rolled under it. Before she could do anything the demon jumped back, picked her up and through her backwards. Pulling out her swords she waited for Sango to use her Hiraikotsu, then lunged forward. Kirara quickly knocked the Hiraikotsu away and went after Leigh. Leigh blocked most of the blows made at her but finally Kirara knocked both her swords away. With no more weapons left Leigh ran at Kirara and went to do a flying roundhouse kick but Kirara grabbed her foot and swung her to the ground.

"That was a good move but let me show you something." Sango said, "Ok Kirara." Kirara returned to her small and cute form as the two girls practiced, "Ok I want you to kick me the same way you did Kirara ok?"

Not bothering to wait for instructions Leigh ran at Sango and went to kick her. Sango too caught her foot; unlike Kirara she didn't throw her to the ground. Instead Sango held her one foot in the air so that Leigh's legs made a ninety-degree angle.

"Ok now I'm going to tell you how to get yourself out of this position but you'll have to trust me. I want you to use your free leg to jump up and spin around to kick me. Ok try it." Leigh tried but failed.

After several demonstrations from Sango, Leigh tried again. They practiced this for several hours. Once Leigh finally got it they decided to return back to the camp. They found that all three of the guys were still awake.


"How'd the training go?" Inuyasha asked Leigh.

"Good! Sango showed me how to get out of a difficult position!"

"So you'll be able to help kill a demon soon?"

"Hey watch it Inuyasha I may just slay you!" Leigh said punching him lightly on the arm as she headed off to bed.


The next morning they headed out on yet another long day's journey. By mid afternoon they stumbled upon a small farming village. As they approached several of the farmers looked up.

"Hello there!" Kagome called.

"Look! Demons!" One farmer cried.

"There are two demons!" Said another.

"They're probably all demons!"

"Quick run away!"

"Hold on you lousy humans! We ain't going to hurt you!" Inuyasha called.

"You aren't?"

"No, not unless you piss me off!"

"Hmm maybe we should bring them to the elder!"

"We'd greatly appreciate it!" Kagome said.

The farmers lead them to the elder of the village, "Welcome my children. I see two of you are demons. And one is a monk! What luck! My village has been plagued by a demon for some weeks now. Some how our men are killed off in the middle of the night. There are no markings on them when we find them but a day later they have huge gashes all over their bodies. Could you help us?"

"Of course we will help you." Miroku said looking at the elder's daughter, a young beautiful girl.

"Uhh…" Sango said rolling her eyes.

The group settled in for the evening to wait. They were generously provided with anything they wanted.

"Is this what you normally end up doing when you are out looking for Naraku?" Koga asked.

"Yes…" Kagome said yawning.

All of a sudden there came a cry from within the village. Quickly they all set out towards the cry. As they approached the hut from which the cry came they saw a young man laying dead on the floor and a young woman with white hair and glowing red eyes standing over him. Quickly unsheathing his Tetsusaiga Inuyasha lunged into the hut with Koga right behind him. The girl slipped through their attacks easily. All of a sudden she turned to Leigh. Her eyes fixed on her the demon lunged, as she lunged Inuyasha cut her back. The demon's shirt fell open to reveal a burn mark that looked like a spider.

"SO YOU'RE ONE OF NARAKU'S INCARNATIONS!" Inuyasha yelled at the demon.

"That I am… Inuyasha. It would be wise that you stay out of this and let me do what I came here to do!"

"Who are you and what has Naraku ordered you to do?" Miroku called out.

"Ha ha foolish monk! Don't even bother with your wind tunnel! I will kill you faster than you can even take off your sacred beads!" The demon said raising her left hand, as she did so hundreds of Naraku's poisonous insects arose all around them, "I am the demon Tamako. I was thrown from Naraku and chosen by him to do his bidding! I have no other purpose but than to serve him. Now DIE!"

"Tamako? Doesn't that mean Jewel Child?" Leigh said turning to Koga as Tamako lunged at Miroku.

"Yah it does… What's your point?"

"Do you think she's after the jewel shards then?" Kagome said as they watched Miroku defend himself.

Suddenly Tamako stopped her attack on Miroku. Her eyes shone even more red. Her spine straightened and she turned towards Kagome, Leigh, and Koga. Running full tilt at them.

"Yah I recon she is!" Koga said as he grabbed Kagome and ran.

Tamako smirked and continued to run straight at Leigh. It was too late when everyone realised that Tamako was after Leigh.

"LEIGH!" Koga yelled as he dropped Kagome and ran towards her. But he didn't make it.

Lunging Tamako made a motion to stab Leigh in the heart. Moving to protect herself Leigh blocked the shot. But out of the corner of her eye she saw something bright pink shoot right into her chest. She felt a stabbing pain when it should have hit.

"Oh no you don't! DIE YOU BITCH!" Inuyasha yelled as he raised Tetsusaiga over Tamako's back. Leigh watched as the demons eyes widened in fear and pain as the Tetsusaiga pierced through her. Leigh fell to the ground as Tamako turned to dust. Koga was there instantly to catch her.

"Leigh… are you alright?" Koga asked.

"Yah I think so…"

"You're bleeding!" Koga said a look of concern crossed his face.

"Hmmm so I am…" Leigh said trying to laugh as she looked down to see blood dripping down her chest from her left side. Laying her down gently Koga went to examine her.

"What do you think you are doing!" Sango said coming over.

"I was… I mean she is… I thought… well… she's bleeding!" Koga said stumbling over his words.

"Yah… well I think Kagome and I should be the ones to do that!" Sango said pushing Koga away.

"Kagome… it's not what it looked like… you know I only love you! I will wait an eternity for you!" Koga said grasping her hand.

Blushing slightly Kagome laughed and waved her hand in the air, "Oh Koga…"

Standing back Inuyasha watched in disbelief as Koga wooed Kagome. Turning to Miroku, "You don't think Kagome would actually fall for stuff like that?"

"I dunno Inuyasha… he at least is honest with his feelings to Kagome!" Shippo piped in.

"Why you!" Inuyasha began trying to hurt the little fox demon, who slipped out of his grasp.

"Shippo does have a point. No woman can resist that kind of attention and flattery for long." Miroku said patting Inuyasha on the shoulder.
