Hardy remembers her past.

Disclaimer: Well you all know this part I don't own the characters in this fic blah, blah, blah etc, etc! I only own Hardy. So no takey without my permission. Which if anyone cares to know.no one can have her cuz she's mine. Sorry all you people who don't really want her but had to read this.

Miroku- "Well, you do own me, and only me."

Hardy- "Well I also technically own Inu-Yasha, and Kagome cause they are locked in my closet."

Inu-Yasha- "Yeah we are.not very comfortable, but what can you do."

Kagome- "It's actually very comfortable to me."

Inu-Yasha- "Well, your not tied to a chair now are you?"

Kagome- "Nope, I've got a comfortable bed." ^_^

Inu-Yasha- "Feh."

Quote of the day: ~*~I am Kenshin Himura, formally known as the Battousai, I draw back my sword I do not wish to be the Battousai that I once was~*~

Quote of the day #2- A sword is made to kill, and is meant to kill, and that will never change. But I like Kaoru-dono's point of view more.

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

We return to the fic as Hardy and the crew exit the forest and start to set up camp. Hardy and Kagome run to go collect wood to make a fire while Miroku and Inu-Yasha make the hut to sleep in. The girls return just as the hut is finished and make the fire. They group sits down around the fire and warms themselves up. As Inu-Yasha and Kagome argue and Miro sits with his head on Hardy's shoulder, Hardy stares blankly into the fire. As the fire jumps towards the sky Hardy remembers the day that her life began to be happy. The day she met Inu, Kagome, and Miro.

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

It was Hardy's 18th birthday. She had just got done fighting a rather large bird demon. The demon had entered her path while she was walking to a nearby village to get food. Hardy was sitting on a log licking the wounds that the demons talons had left on her. She was clad in her fighting uniform (Chest, leg, knee, and arm armor. With a rose gold skirt.) She had her light-blue hair pulled up in a ponytail with a dark blue headband. Hardy rubs her hand over the long bleeding cuts that cover her face. She slowly walks over to the bath and undresses. She lowers her aching muscles into the water to bathe away her troubles.

"Damned bird.this better not leave a scar." Cringed Hardy as she washed her cuts.

She lifts her nose to the air sniffing the smell of rain close by, but smells something else mixed in with it. As she brings her nose down from the air she hears rustling in the bushes followed by a girl yelling along with a loud 'BOOM!' Hardy ignores it until a young girl with black hair poked her head out of the bushes. Hardy picked herself up getting dressed as fast as she could. Hardy gets her sword and stares at the young girl.

"What do you want girl?"

The young girl tilted her head to the side smiling at Hardy. "I'm sorry, but my friend Miroku decided to get a peep show. So I thought you might want to get some clothes on before he wakes up. Though it looks like you already got that task done."

*Hum.this girl seems nice. Though.what strange clothes she wears. * "Thanks.. uh. if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?" Asked Hardy as nicely as she could.

The young girl looked at Hardy and snapped her fingers. "Oh yes! My name is Kagome, and 'pulling Miroku up' this is Miroku. Then this is.INU-YASHA GET OVER HERE! 'Inu-Yasha runs over' this is Inu-Yasha."

*Inu-Yasha, I've heard that name before. Oh, and look at those ears, he looks like a demon, but the question is hanyou.or Youkai. * Hardy thought to herself.

"Inu-Yasha this is.. umm.." Kagome looked at Hardy with a questioning look.

"Hardy.my names Hardy. I'm a Neko-Youkai." Answered Hardy.

Inu-Yasha looked at Hardy with a strange scrunched up look on his face. "Feh! Neko-Youkai huh? You look more like a hanyou to me."

Hardy glares at Inu-Yasha. "I wouldn't be talking. You're a hanyou aren't you?"

"What of it wench!" said Inu-Yasha through gritted teeth.

*Phew.lucky guess. He is a hanyou. * "Say that again mutt!" Replied Hardy as she drew her sword on Inu-Yasha, bringing it within an inch of the middle of his eyes.

Hardy and Inu-Yasha glare at each other as Kagome stares from Hardy to Inu- Yasha wondering who was going to attack first. As the two angry demons stare at each other, Miroku wakes up. He sees the young Neko and his eyes go wide. He rushes over to the middle of her and Inu staring her in the eyes.

Hardy backs away at the strange looking boy in front of her. "Umm.hi?"

"HI! I'm Miroku."

Hardy looks over at Kagome with a scared look on her face. "Is he always this excited?"

Kagome looks down and puts her head in her hands. "Just wait."

Miroku grabs Hardy's hand and looks her in the eyes. "WILL YOU BEAR MY CHILD!!!?"

'Twitch, twitch' "NO!!!" 'SLAP!'

Kagome looks up for a minute to see Miroku twitching on the ground with a large hand mark across his face. "Haven't you learned anything yet Miroku?"

Miroku gets up and rubs the slap mark. "Nope. Not at all." ^_^

Hardy starts to back away to leave to go someplace new, just like always. "Well, ok then. Bye."

Kagome grabs Hardy's shoulder as she starts to walk away to stop her. "Wait Hardy.where are you going?"

Hardy looks back at Kagome and smiles. "I go wherever the wind takes me. Right now it's telling me to find someplace new."

Kagome turns to the group and turns back to Hardy. "Well.maybe the wind wants you to join us. We could be like.sisters! Plus I feel a really strong connection with you."

*Sisters? Well...I felt a connection with this girl as soon as I saw her. What the hell.why not. * "Kagome.I would love to come with you guys. The wind is telling me to go places and maybe that place is with you."

"That's great! We'll have fun. No matter what those two jerks do!!!" Laughed Kagome.

"HEY WE HEARD THAT!!!" Yelled Inu-Yasha and Miroku together.

Hardy and Kagome run to the two boys smiling and laughing like they had known each other for years. The group starts to wrestle on the ground with many groping opportunities for Miroku.

END FLASHBACK

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

That's where the group's adventures started. Over the year they had been together they had become brothers, sisters, and lovers. Hardy looks over at Kagome and Miroku playing leapfrog, and Inu-Yasha sitting in the tree above them looking down disgustedly. Miroku leaps over Kagome and trips on his robes falling face first into the dirt. Hardy runs over to Miroku's side, Kagome follows and they both fall on their butts from the fits of giggles that had took over them from seeing Miroku fall and his face full of dirt.

*Hahaha! These three are my best friends. They are the first real friends I've had my whole like. I love them all and I'm sure we'll grow closer over the years we'll be together. Our adventures will bring us to new exciting places, and maybe it will bring us new friends! Yes.it will bring us new friends. *

TBC..

Hardy- 'sigh' "Well.for all those people who wanted to know how Hardy and the Inu group got to know each other...THERE YA GO! Hope you liked it."

Miroku- 'Rubbing his cheek' "I remember that day.that hurt."

Kagome- "Yeah.we know it hurt but it's your fault that you got slapped."

Miroku- "Well.I don't do it anymore."

Hardy- "Yeah that's cause you got me." ^_^

Miroku- "Yeah.I know."

Kagome- "Ah.isn't that cute!"

Inu-Yasha- "Feh.it's gross."

Miroku- "No it's not. Remember the first chapter when Kagome kissed you."

Inu-Yasha- "Yeah.it was gross."

Miroku- "Oh you know you liked it!" Inu-Yasha- "SHUT UP NO I DIDN'T!"

Kagome- "Well.it wasn't documented in the 2nd chapter but YOU kissed ME!"

Inu- "LIAR!!! LAIR, LIAR, LIAR!"

Hardy- ".Did you all forget about me?"

Group- "No."

Hardy- "Oh, Inu.they're not lying about the kiss." 'Looks away innocently'

Inu- "LIAR, LIAR,LIAR!!!!!"
