Chapter 10: Unbeatable Force

*****************************************************************************

Intently staring down the bone-eaters well as if it was going to move at any moment and run

away, Inuyasha grew so impatient he considered jumping in and retrieving the two girls. Deciding

against it, he just sat down and started to grunt, becoming extremely fidgety, well, anyone would after

sitting and waiting for the past three hours. "What in all gods names are they doing that is taking so

long?" he growled. "I swear, I thought all humans were the weirdest beings on the planet, but, now I

think it's just the female humans that make those beings weird!"

He stood and began to perambulate around, grinding his teeth. Even over the sound of his teeth

crunching together, he heard a deep thump in the bottom of the well. His ears perked up, hearing

the faint whispers and giggles of a high pitched squeaky voice. A smirk graced his face and he quickly

and quietly made his way to the edge of the well. He crouched down belong the side of the well and

waited, hearing the approaching muffled breathing of two separate beings. When he was sure they

were nearly to the top, he popped his head up over the side, fangs bared, ready to scare them

senseless. Instead, he was met with a strange device gripped in a tiny hand with a finger placed on a

button. Before he could investigate the strange thing, the finger pushed the button, emitting a flash of

light so bright it made Inuyasha trip and fall backwards. Clasping his clawed hands over his eyes,

screaming, "Ah! I'm blind!", he rolled around on the ground in frustration while shrieks of laughter

assaulted his ears. 'Why are they laughing when the just hindered my sight?' he thought maleficently.

"Oh, calm down, Yashie! You're not blind! Although, you should be embarrassed!" said a voice of

giggling young girl.

"Ili, what did you do to me?!"

"I just took a picture. Open your eyes, goofball," she said poking him in the forehead.

Slowly he opened his eyes seeing a smiling girl looking down on him through his spotted vision.

Well, he wasn't blind, but still confused. Iliana was wearing her hat again, and her hair was french

braided into pigtails down her head, flowing behind her ears. He stood up and held his head, groaning.

He took another look at the smiling girl to see she was now wearing black pants that again, rested on

her hips held up by a green belt and a cropped off t-shirt with the same design as her other pants with

different shades of green,

with the words 'Ha! You can't see me!' written across the chest in white lettering. Of coarse, she had

her combat boots on. Her duffle and bo were on the ground and she held the device in her hand.

Bending down and sniffing it he asked rudely, "What is that thing?"

"It's a camera, Inuyasha. We have a budding photographer with us now," said the other girl,

climbing out of the well.

He was about ready to ask what a 'camera' and a 'photographer' were, but his words slipped

from his mind as he caught a glance at the other girl. "Ka...Kagome?"

"Ebony and I had a little too much fun at the mall and splurged quite a bit," she said quietly.

Kagome was giving him an all to satisfied smile with the look he was giving her. Her hair was

pulled back into a twist at the back of her head with a few free strands, framing her face. She wore a

tightly fitting dark pink tank top with the word 'Princess' printed on it in black curling letters. As his

eyes traveled down, he saw the hem ended just a about her navel. She had on a pair of tight blue jeans

that flared out at the ankles held up by a black belt with little silver squares on it. Also, her white tennis

shoes with black and blue stripes on them were new. "So, Inuyasha, what do you think?" she asked

twirling around before striking a pose.

"I a...ah...that is...."

"I told you he's be speechless, didn't I?" Iliana said winking at her friend.

Her last comment made his tempter rise. No way would he let them make fun of him, even if it

was the truth and he really couldn't say anything negative about the way she looked. "What the hell

happened to you?" he stated coldly. "You look like you were the one who went blind when you got

those clothes."

Kagome's smile faded into a grimace. Even Iliana gave him a threatening look. He held his

ground though and folded his arms in front of him, closing his eyes and pointed his nose in the air.

"I guess I'll go change then," Kagome said sadly, slinging her overloaded yellow pack on her

back and began to tread somberly to Kaede's hut.

Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders and turned to follow her. First step he took he found his sister

by his side with a horrible look on her face. "What!"

He was answered with a smack up side the back of his head, and nothing more. She ran

passed him and walked the rest of the way with Kagome. Inuyasha was dumbfounded, but stayed a

few feet away from them all the way back to the hut.

When Kagome had changed back into her worn school uniform, she joined the rest of the

group sitting on the floor of the hut. They made some uninteresting conversations for awhile before they

decided just to sit in silence. Inuyasha was in the corner staring at Kagome whom had a solemn look

on her face. He rolled his eyes thinking how sensitive girls can be. He had grown accustomed to the

flashing lights from Iliana's 'camera'. She had been snapping 'pictures', as she called them, of everyone

and all of her surroundings. Kagome did throw a fit for awhile, saying something along the lines of what

if the people who 'developed' the pictured would say if they saw them, when Iliana said she had a

'digital camera' and would 'download' them on her 'computer' and 'develop' them herself. All these

words that she was using truly confused everyone except Kagome. The more she talked about all

these things, the more Inuyasha seemed to understand why Iliana was such a confused girl.

Just as Iliana was about ready to snap a picture of Kagome posed with a smile on her face,

Kagome gasped as she stood up, looking out the door, giving Iliana a picture of her looking scared.

Inuyasha noticed the spike in her scent and looked at her. Then, his nose picked up something else in

the air, a scent of a Youkai.

"A jewel shard. And, it's close," Kagome said softly.

"Then let's go!" cried Inuyasha as he ran out the door where his nose led him.

They all scrambled to her feet and grabbed there appropriate weapons. The speedily chased

after Inuyasha. Hoisting her bo in the air over her head, Iliana yelled happily for three reasons. One,

this time she was going off to battle without having to sneak off; Two, she had some of the greatest

fighters she had ever know by her side; Three, she was getting extremely bored just sitting around.

"Woo-hoo! Here we go again!" she cried triumphantly.

The armadillo looking Youkai was quickly vanquished, even if it had the ability to reattach it's

limbs to it's body. With the help of Kagome, she found that the shard was embedded in the Youkai's

right shoulder. Inuyasha used Tetsusaiga and swiped his arm right off, shoulder and all. With that taken

care of and the shard safely in Kagome's grasp, the Youkai was slaughtered to pieces between the

group, each piece being sucked into Miroku's Wind Tunnel.

Once the Youkai was gone, Iliana jumped to Sango and gave her a big hug. During the battle,

Iliana was blind sighted and lost her bo. When she went to find it, it went to swallow her whole. When

she turned to see sharp teeth near her, she froze. Prior to her able to react at all, Hiratsu came twirling

between her and the Youkai and cut the monster across the face, giving her enough time to retrieve her

bo and was back to her fighting stance. "Thank you so much! I'm used to fighting guys twice my size,

not gargantuan Youkais! You really saved my ass back there, BB."

"You're welcome, Iliana," she said happily. "Is that my new.... 'nick name'?" she asked

thinking about what she had called her.

"Sure is. BB, it stands for the two words that I think describe you to a 'T'. Whenever someone

needs your help, you swing that....thing, and anyone around hears a loud BANG followed by a huge

BOOM!!!" she explained clapping her hands together for a bigger effect.

They didn't bother going back to Kaede's that night. Instead they made camp in a clearing,

making a fire to light the area. As the sun sat in the stars came out, Iliana gazed up to the sky and

sighed as she laid onto her back. She smiled when her ears caught the sound of Kagome and Inuyasha

fighting juvenilely. She closed her eyes and thought about how her and Wesley used to fight just like

that before the actually started dating. She was almost asleep, she jumped as everyone gasped.

"What?" she whispered as she bolted up.

"Look," Miroku said, pointing upwards.

There were little glowing lights flowing over head. They looked like shooting stars, only

misshapen. "What in the world...?" was all she was able to say.

"I'll be back. You all stay here," Inuyasha said as he ran in the direction as the glowing lights.

Kagome raised her legs to her chest and buried her face within them.

Iliana was confuse as she watched her brother run off and saw the effect in had on her friend.

"What's up with him?"

"Going to see Kikyo. Why else would he be chasing those soul collectors?" said Kagome still

buying her face.

"Who?" Iliana wondered aloud.

"You mean you don't know?" asked Sango.

"Nope, not that I know of."

"Of coarse he wouldn't tell her. Why would he?" Kagome shouted raising her head.

"I believe that she should know about Kikyo. Inuyasha is her brother and she has the right to

know about his past. And, if she knows nothing of Kikyo, she probably knows nothing of Naraku,

either," stated Miroku.

"Well, then you can tell her. I'm going to bed!" shouted Kagome, rolling out her sleeping bag

and crawling in.

"Very well..." Miroku started as he told her of Kikyo and Naraku.

Iliana was baffled as the story drawn out. The more she had learned, the more concerned she

was becoming for her brother. Between learning about Naraku and Inuyasha's dead love, she couldn't

just sit there and wait for him to get back. Being the nosy person she was, she grabbed her bo and ran

headlong into the forest, ignoring the pleas of her friends to come back and wait for him

to return.
