~In Kinda-in-Scene Land~

"I can't believe you called me Fluffy." Sesshoumaru whined to Inuyasha for about the fifth time. Sango shot Miroku a quizzical look.

"Altitude again." The monk explained reasonably, earning a nod from Sango.

"No one's called me Fluffy since-"

"Oh! So you've been called that before!" Inuyasha crowed, interrupting Fluff-I mean, Sesshoumaru, mid-sentence.

"Who called you that?" Inuyasha asked prodingly.

"No one." Sesshoumaru brushed the question off with a 'holier than thou' look.

"C'mon, tell me!"

"No."

"Tell me, damn it!"

"No, damn it."

"Pleeeeaaaseeee?" Inuyasha batted his.erm.lashes at Sesshoumaru as if that would get him to talk.

"Ok, ok." The once-dignified youkai giggled out.

Sango and Miroku edged away from the two discreetly so as not to frighten them.

"This is getting too weird.This must be more than just altitude." Miroku shook his head vigorously.

"I promise, it's the altitude." Sango shrugged.

"Whatever."

~Meanwhile, in Kinda-in-Scene Land~

Kouga ran as fast as his little shard-enhanced legs could carry him. He could still smell Inuyasha, and the smell was getting stronger with each passing second.

~Meanwhile, in Kinda-in-Scene Land~

"You mean my mother called you Fluffy?" Inuyasha asked disbelievingly. Sesshoumaru nodded his head solemnly in response.

"And you wonder why I hate humans." Miroku and Sango cringed notably at the possible angsty moment, but didn't dare interrupt.

"Damn fanfic etiquette." They cursed in unison, just as Kouga showed up.

~Meanwhile, in Out-of-Scene Land~

Kagome gently placed the slumbering kitsune in a conveniently placed basket and stole out to get some fresh air.

"Rin loves Sesshoumaru-sama!" Came a call from far away. Kagome shrugged and turned to reenter the cabin. There, before her, stood her one true love.

~Meanwhile, in Kinda-in-Scene Land~

"Wimpy wolf?! What the hell're you doin here?!" Inuyasha demanded, taking a battle stance.

"Thank God for lousy etiquette." Miroku spoke up. Sango nodded in agreement.

"Did you think you could get away from me, dog-turd?!" Kouga hollered.

"He's standing four feet from you, you idiot." Sesshoumaru snorted at Kouga, who ignored the comment as only he could.

"I know where Kagome is. If I win I get her, if you win, I'll take you to her." Kouga stated calmly.

"Then what the fucking hell are we waiting for?!" Inuyasha yelled, and lunged at Kouga, drawing Tetsusaiga. Kouga expertly dodged, but was distracted when a small pebble hit his eye.

"STOP FIGHTING!" Cried a small voice. Kouga quickly picked the tiny girl from the bushes and held her nose to nose with him.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked. Sesshoumaru smirked at the ignorant wolf's mistake. The little girl brightened.

"My name's Rin. What's yours? I like flowers, do you? I like Sesshoumaru-sama! Do you like Sesshoumaru-sama--?"

"Behold, my secret weapon." Inuyasha gestured toward Rin, resting Tetsusaiga on his shoulder nonchalantly.

"I like Jaken-sama, do you like Jaken-sama? I like bunnies, too. Do you?" Kouga abruptly sat on the packed dirt, dropping Rin in the process.

"RIN LOVES SESSHOUMARU-SAMA!!!!" Rin suddenly shrieked in Kouga's ear and ran to her beloved Sesshoumaru-sama, who told her to shut up. Kouga slowly stood and turned.

"This way." He stated quietly, his face sporting a dejected-beyond- repair look.

~Meanwhile, in Out-of-Scene Land~

Kagome's heart leapt wildly in her chest as the tall, handsome man gently tipped her chin upward for a soft, sweet kiss..Awwww..

~Meanwhile, at the Great Barrier~

"It's beautiful." Sango whispered, staring at the melding colors of the translucent border between Kinda-in-Scene Land and Out-of-Scene Land. Miroku took his opportunity to rub her ass. Sango suddenly pummeled him over the head with Hiraikotsu. When she saw what she had done, she gasped. "I'm sorry, it was visceral." She tried to explain to an unconscious Miroku. She looked around, suddenly realizing she was alone. The only thing nearby happened to be a medicine stand where they sold altitude sickness pills.

~Meanwhile, in Out-of-Scene Land~

"Where's the cabin?" Inuyasha demanded threateningly. Kouga sniffed the air.

"This way." Kouga ran to the left, making sure that Inuyasha could keep up. He knew Sesshoumaru could.

"Kouga?" Inuyasha asked, causing the wolf youkai to stop and turn.

"Yes?"

"I just wanted you to know."

"Yes?"

"STOP RIGHT THERE!!" A sudden screech halted their conversation. The three turned to see Sango, standing beside Kirara, with a pill container in her hand.

"How'd Kirara get into this?" Inuyasha wondered. Sango shrugged.

"I dunno. She appeared after I bought..THESE!" She held up the pills threateningly, just as elevator music began in the background. Instinctively, they all looked up. Suddenly, Miroku spoke.

"It plays whenever something significant happens in In-Scene Land." He explained as if it was a fact he'd known since he was two.

"What kind of significant something?" Sesshoumaru asked. He'd been in Out-of-Scene Land before, but never could figure out that annoying music. Much to his surprise, Rin remained quiet, fiddling with her kimono.

"Oh, you know.Naraku ravaging the countryside, destroying random extras, collecting more shikon shards, creating more minions." Miroku ticked off the possibilities.

"Well, if that's all." Inuyasha stood pensively for a moment before taking hold of Kouga's ponytail. "Where the hell is she, wimpy wolf?!" Kouga growled before pointing to the right.

"You should be able to smell her, dog-turd."

"Shuddup."

~Meanwhile, in Out-of-Scene Land~

Kagome sat, cradled in the arms of the one man who'd loved her. She sighed contentedly before closing her eyes. Out of nowhere, Shippou streaked past, wailing.

"He hit me! He hit me!" A cloaked figure sailed by, also shouting.

"Come HERE! I didn't give you permission to take that!"

As long as no one noticed, Kagome would sit with her lover. As long as no one noticed..

So? Who is it? Who does Kagome love? It sure ain't any of our usual suspects.or is it? Take your guess, even tell me in a review if you like, but I won't tell you if you're right or not until the next chapter! Review kindly, por favor! ^-^
