Inuyasha looked up at the star struck sky, looking down everyone now and then to watch Lina. Lina was quiet as well, Inuyasha's silence was scaring her, and she looked at him saying out loud, with a hint of concern in her voice, "Is there something on your mind Inuyasha that you want to talk about?"

Inuyasha looked down as he hissed out, " Nothing the feeble mind could understand."

" Feeble? How dare you? I am a lot smarter then I show myself off to me. How about you try me."

Inuyasha sighed as he buried his hands in his sleeves, " Well, I was thinking about what you said earlier, about no one wanting to be alone. I just thought maybe your right, Kagome has been gone for quite some time, and I don't suppose that she is coming back. I do suppose she would want me to be happy, so I am allowing people to enter my life again."

Lina looked at him with an odd look as she said, " Are you well? "

" Yes, I am well. What I am trying to get at; is your not half bad. Your cool when you want to be, and I really should stop trying to anger you."

" Is this about getting the jewel quicker."

Inuyasha sighed walking ahead of Lina, " I will explain this later, and right now I need time to let it fizz out."

Lina shrugged following along.

" Help! Help!" shrieked a loud voice.

Lina stopping looks to Inuyasha and then darting in that direction. Why did this always have to happen to her? She darted hard, wanting to get there quick. She skids into the open to see a poor old woman lying on the ground from a larger man, someone Lina was very fond of. She smirked as she shouted, " Well if it isn't Mr. Magee's son."

He looked over to see Lina, with a devious grin he said, " Well if it isn't Lina Inverse, what brings you to these parts, my fair and lovely lady."

" I am traveling, looking for more treasures the correct way."

He narrowed his eyes at her as she spat out, " Well you know, a life of a bandit is quite exhilarating, but you wouldn't know that. You steal from us bandits."

" Yes, and there is nothing wrong with that, but you stole something from me, and I am not down with that!"

" Well, lovely Lina, I will let you know this one thing. Your not getting it back, I happen to like what I stole from you."

" I am sure you would, but its not yours so give it back!"

" Everything I own is not mine, how does that change anything?"

Inuyasha, stepped from the shadows, peering at him with a hard glance, he spit out a bitter remark, " Well if it isn't Hosho Magee, I have been looking for you insufferable ass everywhere, where have you been hiding?"

He looked up, seeing Inuyasha; he gulped hard as he spoke, "Inuyasha? What are you doing here?"

Inuyasha looked to Lina, then back to Hosho, " Helping Miss Lina Inverse out, what is it to you?"

" You two are working together?"

Inuyasha nodded as he looked to Lina, " What is the matter?"

Lina looks to Inuyasha, as she smirks and says, " Well Hosho has something of mine, and refuses to return it."

Inuyasha glares at Hosho as she sneers out, " Give what is her's back!"

Hosho shook his head, drawing his sword, holding a strong stance, " I will never give it back."

Lina shrugged to herself as she said, " You never will learn will you?"

She slowly sat on the ground and watching what was about to be a good fight, Inuyasha let his claws out as he waited for Hosho to make a move. Hosho was not skilled or intelligent when it came to fighting; with a turn of his torso he threw the blade at Inuyasha. Inuyasha, with his right had grabbed the blade, thrusting Hosho away from him. With a simple dart towards Hosho, Inuyasha grabbed onto his neck and lifted him in the air, to choke him a bit; Inuyasha stared at him, squeezing his neck. Hosho gagged a bit, dropping his sword and looking down at the demon. Inuyasha's eyes were filled with delight; this was just another game to Inuyasha. With a light push, Inuyasha threw, Hosho into a tree base, looking at him from a distance. Inuyasha sighed as he said, " Do me a favor, I do not wish to kill you, give me what she wants and I will leave you and your father alone."

Hosho aching hisses out, " Fine, but I will get my revenge with you."

Hosho throws a small sack to Inuyasha, only for him to catch it. Inuyasha catches it and tosses it to Lina, with that he says, " Let's get going Lina, we have done are job here."

Lina slowly stands up, looking at Inuyasha, " That is it."

Inuyasha barely looks to Lina wondering what she meant and says, " That is it what?"

" No yelling at me, no playing games with me, no I won't give you the sack unless I get what I want first?"

Inuyasha laughed as he said, " Lina I said I would discuss that later. In the mean time let's head out looking for a place to stay for the night. Okay?"

Lina nodded only to follow Inuyasha.
