Alrighty, sorry for the wait but my parents took us on a unexpected vacation to Tampa! But now I'm finally back with a chappy! This one may not be one of my best but like how I ended it.

A loud cawing noise was heard from above. Kameko looked up to see the Birds of Paradise closing in, ready to fight.

"Attaaack!!" shouted Kouga to his tribe. They immediately sped into action, attacking the Birds of Paradise without mercy.

Kameko stood still as she watched a bloody battle unfold. Left and right demons from both sides were being slaughtered mercilessly. She hated watching this. The battle went endlessly on, and the Birds of Paradise seemed to be winning. Too many lives were being lost.

"Kameko, Kouga ordered us to protect you," claimed two wolf demons, taking their place on either side of her. Kameko, tried to protest, saying she didn't need protecting, but they wouldn't budge. Finally she gave in and resumed to surveying the battle around her.

"Kameko! Kameko!"

"Inuyasha?" Kameko turned around to see Inuyasha and Shippo accompanied by a girl with a giant boomerang on her back and a guy in a dress. Scratch that, a robe(personally I don't care what you call it, it doesn't stop it from being a dress). Inuyasha was scanning the battleground for her. She waved her hand in the air and made her way towards them, happy to see a familiar face.

"Kameko, look out!"

There was a loud caw from above, then a scream and the sound of a body slamming against the rock ground.

Standing there, dumbfounded, Kameko slowly turned around to see one of her bodyguards laying motionless on the ground, a large gash on his arm. Completely forgetting Inuyasha she fell to her knees and checked his wound.

"I've got to stop the bleeding," Kameko said as she ripped a piece of cloth from the pants of her Tai Quan Do uniform.

"Forget about me, I'm useless wounded," the mohawked wolf demon meekly protested.

"Nonsense."

Kameko wrapped the cloth tightly around his arm and tied it in a nice strong knot. She gave a small smile as she surveyed her quick handiwork. Still, she could have done more for him if her medical supplies hadn't all been washed away in the river the day before.

"Kameko! You're okay!" Shippo exclaimed happily as he rushed towards Kameko, Inuyasha and the strangers following closely behind him.

"Shippo!"

Kameko caught Shippo as he jumped into her arms and hugged him tightly. Then she stood up and faced Inuyasha. An awkward silence passed between them as they both stood before each other, neither knowing what to say.

"So...uh...who are they?" Kameko finally asked, pointing curiously to the duo behind Inuyasha.

"Just some people I picked up along the way, they knew the way to the wolf tribe's cave."

"So you actually went looking for me?"

Inuyasha's face turned red.

"Of course not! It was for the jewel shards! I couldn't let them fall into the wrong hands, which is likely if your the one protecting them!"

"Inuyasha..." Kameko's voice was completely calm, "Sit boy."

"Aaugh!"

Kameko then turned away from him and introduced herself to the new members, who called themselves Sango and Miroku. Sango was the last of the demon-slayers and Miroku had a cursed black hole in his right hand that passed generations.

"So Kameko, will you bear by child?" Miroku asked with his hands holding hers together.

Kameko bonked him on the head, followed by an angry Inuyasha and a furious Sango.

"Why so cruel? I was just being sincere," defended Miroku.

This earned him another whack from Sango.

"Oh Inuyasha, do you have my sword? I think I dropped it when the tribe attacked us," Kameko asked hopefully.

Inuyasha nodded and handed it over to its rightful owner. Kameko threw it up high in the air and gracefully pulled her hand in a forward turning motion. A cry was heard from above as a giant Bird of Paradise was hit, quickly releasing its prisoner.

"Kameko what's happe-?"

"No time, just fight the giant flying turkeys. Trust me!" Kameko shouted as she ran off to Kouga who was shouting her name.

Miroku and Sango looked at each other and shrugged. Smiling Sango pulled out her boomerang, hitting five Birds of Paradise in one swing. Miroku held out his right hand towards the sky and whipped off the cloth and beads bound around it. With a swirl of strong winds and dark purple light Miroku's wind tunnel quickly sucked up more than half the remaining Birds of Paradise, leaving the demon wolf tribe in awe.

Meanwhile Inuyasha had followed Kameko to Kouga, who was jumping up the cliffs.

"The giant one up there, he's the one with the jewel shards!"

"Got it."

Kouga jumped from rock to rock up the steep cliff, closing in on the lead Bird of Paradise.

Kouga returned down the cliff not much later with an injured arm, but otherwise relatively unhurt. He landed next to Kameko, only to see a pretty pissed off half-demon standing next to her.

"What's this mutt doing here?" he asked in disgust.

"Who are you calling a mutt you wolf freak!" Inuyasha retorted.

"Claiming my bride of course," stated Kouga as he grabbed Kameko's hands in his. Kameko's eye twitched for a second before noticing his arm.

"Kouga sit down! You hurt," she said in a worried tone and checked his wound. She tore off another piece of cloth from the bottom of her pants and performed the same procedure on him as she had done to the other wolf demon earlier.

"Kameko, I love you more than anything in this world. You and I are destined to be together."

Inuyasha flinched.

"That's nice," Kameko responded blandly, she turned and motioned to the wolf tribe, "Guys, you better take him."

Nodding dutifully they picked him up and took him away.

Inuyasha opened his mouth to angrily question Kameko, but stopped when she slumped down to the ground, exhausted. Closing his mouth he sighed and knelt down before Kameko, his back to her.

"Wha-?"

"Get on, we have to need to get out of these mountains as soon as possible, and you're in no condition to walk."

Kameko was about to refuse, but then smiled and decided not to ruin a perfectly good moment. She climbed onto his back and the group, along with it's two new members, headed down the mountain.

On Inuyasha's back, a half asleep Kameko smiled and said, "Thanks for looking for me Inuyasha."

Inuyasha stopped short, but quickly resumed his pace before anyone could notice.

"Your welcome."

A moment! A ripe juicy moment! I decided to change it and have Inuyasha not argue Kameko, this was much more enjoyable to write!
