Musuko was the first to wake in the morning. Inside the hut, Miroku and Sango slept on one mat. Miroku would lay on his back, because he always slept that way, and Sango would cling to him. She was one of those people who need to hold something in their sleep. Then there was a room divider where on the other side, Musuko was the first to wake up. He looked at the sleeping bag next to him where Inu Onna lay. She was asleep on her side, with her back to him and the covers covered her head.

Musuko looked over the divider at his parents who where deep in sleep then back at Inu Onna. "Hey!" he whispered. He poked the bag where the back of her head would be. She didn't move.

He was bored the minute he woke up and he wanted someone to play with. For some reason, he liked Inu Onna, she was interesting. He poked her again then got an idea. Whenever his father wanted mother's attention, he would slap her on the behind. Then she would yelp and drop whatever she was doing to either tell him "not right now" or "Okay, let's play."

Musuko rubbed his hands together, raised his right hand high and-

SMACK!

"KYAA!" Inu Onna was out of her sleeping bag in seconds. She stood up holding her behind and looked at Musuko in shock. Her hair had it's healthy silver glow again, her dog ears were present, and her eyes were yellowish gold. She shouted at him, "WHAT ARE YOU, HIGH?!"

He gaped at her. "You ARE a demon!"

By now Miroku and Sango had woken up from the noise.

"What time is it?" Miroku asked groggily.

Sango looked up at the children, "Why are you up at this hour?" then she saw Inu Onna's looks and decided it was time to get up. "I knew it." Sango said. "You are Inu Yasha's daughter, aren't you!"

Inu Onna looked at her terrified. "You know my dad!"

"Yeah!" Miroku said getting up since everyone else was. "We used to fight on his team a long time ago before both of you were born."

Musuko just looked at his dad innocently as this sunk in. Inu Onna backed up against the wall. "Don't tell them I'm here!" Inu Onna growled.

They looked at her surprised. "Why? Don't you want to see your parents?"

"NO!" Inu Onna shouted. She pointed at them and yelled, "If you tell them where I am, I'm just going to run away again! I never want to see them, never ever!" she whimpered and ran out the door.





Chapter 4: Fighting Over Friends





Musuko walked down a path with his staff held out in front of him. He stopped and the staff pointed up at a tree. He looked up into it, "Inu Onna?" he said.

No answer.

"I know you're up there, my dad taught me this trick and it hasn't failed yet. Come on down!" he said.

A few seconds passed by and nothing happened. Musuko turned around. "Alright, if you don't want to play a game with me, then be that way!" he started to walk away. He didn't go eleven steps before he heard the shaking of tree branches and the crunch of grass. He looked over his shoulder and saw her kneeling by the tree trunk.

What kind of game?" she asked.

Musuko looked upward. "There's lottsa stuff to do. Tag, hide and seek," then he made a mistake by suggesting, "how about baseball?"

Inu Onna's eyes flashed with anger and she jumped back into the tree.

Musuko ran over and started to climb the tree. Inu Onna looked down at him bewildered. That had never happened to her before. When she was in a tree, no one could touch her, he was penetrating her personal space!

She growled at him. "Stop! Go away!"

"Nope, if you're not coming down, then I'm coming up." He said. And let me tell you, he was like a bear! He could really climb trees and fast. Inu Onna started leaping to higher branches. When she ran out of higher branches, he was right below her on the second branch.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I want to talk to you!" he said. There was a huge gap in between his branch and her branch. It was no use, he would be climbing down within a few seconds and she could have her peace. He reached out and gripped the tight bark, he was actually planning to shimmy up the rest of the way, while he was at least two stories off the ground!

Inu Onna looked down at him almost scared. "What are you crazy! You're gonna fall!" she shouted.

He hugged the tree and went on climbing, "I can do it!" He reached out and gripped the both hands on the bark but he couldn't hold on. He fell backward.

GLOMP!

Musuko looked down at the ground below. He looked up at Inu Onna who was holding him by the wrist, the only thing keeping him from falling. She pulled him up onto her branch and let out a sigh of relief.

He smiled. "Thank you."

She growled at him kicking her legs back and forth. "You win, quit trying to kill yourself, k?" she said.

"Alright." He nodded still smiling. He looked to his right and plucked a persimmon off of the tree. "While we're here, do you wanna pick these? Mom could make pie later."

"Sure." She said. They spent the hour picking fruit from the tree. Inu Onna forgot about how everyone hated her. She liked Musuko too. Though he was a human, he was nice to her. They started walking back to his house when they saw a small tornado coming toward them. Inu Onna looked at Musuko who's pupil's got smaller and he sweatdropped, he didn't look so happy and confident anymore. The whirlwind stopped beside Inu Onna, rising a cloud of dust.

There stood a girl with long black hair and a kimono with fur. This girl was obviously a demon, by the look in her eyes. She smiled, pushed Inu Onna over and went over to hug Musuko.

"Hi, Musuko!" this demon girl cooed. "How are you today!"

Musuko didn't look happy. "Hi, Hachimitsu." He said in an unmotivated tone of voice.

Inu Onna looked up at this girl with a scowl. No one pushes her down like that and gets away with it!

"Who the hell are you?!" Inu Onna asked getting up.

"Didn't you hear him say my name?" Hachimitsu said. "I'm Hachimitsu- sama, daughter of the wolf demon tribe leader, Kouga!" then she loomed over her. "BTW, what are you doin' with my man!?"

Her man?! Musuko was one of the only friends Inu Onna had, and she wasn't about to let some-some-wimpy wolf come in and act like she was queen of the world!

Inu Onna sized up at her, "He's MY friend! Get away!"

Musuko was off down the path by now. The two girls looked around for him.

"Where'd he go?"

"You scared him off!"

"No you did with your ugly dogface!"

"DOGFACE?! You wimpy wolf! I'll kill you!"

Inu Onna swiped at Hachimitsu, but the wolf demoness was fast, she dodged and went over to Musuko. She hugged his arm happily, "I'll see you later sugar." And she disappeared in a whirlwind.

Inu Onna glared after the little tornado, "Good riddance!"





Later on they came back home, Miroku and Sango were waiting for them. Sango greeted them with a smile and another plate of cookies. "Here you go..oh, Inu Onna! Take one, dear, I don't want a repeat of last night."

Inu Onna took a cookie and was about to bite into it when she smelled something familiar. She sniffed loudly and looked at Miroku and Sango. "You two smell like sex." She said.

Miroku and Sango blushed and gaped at her. Musuko looked horrified. (AN: I would too, there's nothing scarier then knowing about your parents sex life. ;;;)

"H-how do YOU know what intercourse smells like?" Miroku asked her.

Inu Onna waved her hand like it was nothing big. "I'm used to it, my parents smell like it every morning."

Sango covered her mouth and Miroku coughed fakely. Inu Onna wasn't afraid of airing dirty laundry. Musuko meanwhile was freaking out. "I think I'm going to be sick." he said.

Sango took the persimmons and started making a pie. Inu Onna and Musuko were outside playing hide and seek. When Inu Onna sniffed him out, he said, "No fair! You can track me down!"

"Oh, yeah?" she said picking up a stick. "What about you and your," she mimicked the way he found her before in the tree.

Sango watched them and laughed at how cute they were. Miroku went up to her, "So? What are we going to do?"

"What else?" Sango said not looming away from the persimmons she was slicing. "We send a message to Inu Yasha telling him she's here."

"What if she does something violent?" Miroku asked.

"Well she can't stay here!" Sango said. She looked over at a cradle where three year old twin girls slept. "We have enough kids, and Inu Yasha must be worried sick." Then she added in, "Plus, with her around we might never be able to have sex again."

Miroku went over and started writing the letter right away.
