I do not by any means, own Inuyasha. I do, on the other hand, do own the creature that Inuyasha sees.

"Zip it, Myoga."

"But Master Inuyasha, I believe I am just stating the obvious."

A flash of golden eyes, and the flea fell silent, a frightened look upon his face. A small chuckle was heard from the monk, which earned another withering glance from the silver haired half demon. Miroku looked away, his face blissfully blank.

"I still don't get what your problem is, Inuyasha," the pretty black haired Kagome said to the retreating, red robed figure. Inwardly, she thought to herself. She cared deeply for Inuyasha, but thought that he didn't feel the same. She ached to reach out and take his clawed hand in hers, run her fingers through that silver hair... have him make her say much more than "Sit".

A soft blush came to her cheeks, and a piping voice was heard from the seat of the bicycle she was pushing.

"Whatza matter, Kagome?"

She turned her head back to meet the little fox-child's eyes.

"Oh, nothing, Shippo. Just thinking."

"About what?"

Her blush deepened, and then she shook her head. Each of the men with her had turned to look at her. Miroku's face was etched with concern, while Inuyasha's was borderline annoyed. He crossed his arms and glared at her, his golden eyes glimmering.

"Just thinking of where we might find the next jewel shard, that's all."

Shippo looked confused for a moment, then turned forward when Inuyasha huffed,

"Stupid girl."

She glared at him as he uncrossed his arms and turned around. She seriously considered yelling the word, "Sit" just to get back at him for calling her stupid. She decided against it when she heard water. She turned her head towards the sound.

Inuyasha also turned his head towards the sound of water. Motioning with a tip of his head, he left the road for the direction of the water. The group behind him followed.

Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Shippo and Myoga wandered through the woods when Inuyasha stopped abruptly under a grove of trees.

"Wait here," he said, and noiselessly disappeared ahead. The others took it as a chance to rest, and settled in among the grass to wait for Inuyasha's return.

Inuyasha made his way towards the river, following a scent that truly intrigued him. His one minded-ness had taken over. He must know what this intoxicating smell was.

The river grew noisier as Inuyasha approached, but his dog-like ears picked up a sound much different than the river's churning: singing. Inuyasha followed the clear melodic tone of the mysterious singer until he encountered a few high bushes. Pushing them aside, he found himself gazing upon the singer.

A half-elf with bright cerulean butterfly wings was bathing in a shallow part of the river. Inuyasha's eyes grew wide when he realized that the woman's clothes were mere inches from where he crouched.

Her back was turned to him, but he could see her skin was as white as newly fallen snow, and her hair was a white blond, like the sun had reached down and touched her head gently. Her wings flitted lightly as she bent over and scooped up a handful of water to splash herself with it.

Inuyasha didn't know what to do with the scene in front of him. Her beauty captivated him, yet he didn't see her face. He didn't know what the feeling that overcame him was. Only Kagome made him feel this way... He shook his head, trying to get the feeling of Kagome from him. His eyes moved back to the woman in front of him, and Kagome left his thoughts.

She lifted her arms, shaking her head, two long tendrils of hair in front of her ears flying about, the rest, being short, just shook a bit. She looked downward, and then her wings began to whir gently, lifting her body from the waist-deep water. A small giggle escaped her lips, and Inuyasha took in a silent breath. He turned his head backwards, hoping that Kagome didn't just show up and ruin his odd sort-of peep show.

He wanted to get up from the bushes, and take the hovering being in front of him into his arms and kiss her, and let it lead to anything she wanted...

Her body dripping water, she walked upon the surface of the water, her toes just touching the waves beneath her. Her head still tipped downward, her back still to the half-demon watching her; she looked at the golden fishes swimming beneath the water at her feet. A soft musical laugh escaped her soft pink lips as her hand slipped over her shoulders, motioning a come-hither motion.

Inuyasha's eyes grew wide. Was she beckoning him? Did she see him? He gasped in relief when her clothes leaped from the grass in front of him and flew to her fingers. She flung the clothes upward, and spinning around, a blue glow appeared from her wings. With a smile, the clothes appear upon her body, like they never left. Stepping upon the far bank, she let her wings drop to her back. Singing gently, she stepped behind a tree and out of sight.

Inuyasha waited until he couldn't feel her near, but he could still smell her. Of course, he could still smell Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, and even Myoga. He just didn't really want to smell the others right now. He wanted to be enveloped in her scent, in her arms. And her power! Oh, that made him want her even more. She had to be a demon, or be under the influence of the Shikon Jewel, which made following her a right thing, correct? He mentally debated this question, then decided to go with it. He didn't really want to admit that he just really wanted to see her face, smiling at him.

He stood, and turned. He began to run towards where he left his friends.

Kagome had her head tipped upwards; basking in the light that filtered through the trees above. Shippo was snoring softly in her lap, the light breeze ruffling his soft foxtail. Miroku was retying the holy beads around his wind tunnel, his eyes halfway closed. He was thinking about when the loud-mouthed peace breaker would come back. No sooner did the thought cross his mind, than the thought became reality.

"You guys! You'll never guess what I've found!" Inuyasha came bursting in, victory written across his features. Kagome looked at him, while Shippo stretched himself awake.

"What did you find, Master Inuyasha?" Myoga hopped from the edge of the bicycle to Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Jewel shards. Lots of 'em," he clenched his fist. "I found a creature who has got this power that is incredible, so she's got to have a jewel shard or two embedded in those wings of hers, or maybe her hands, or maybe..." he drifted off, a goofy look upon his face.

"Master Inuyasha. Master Inuyasha?" Myoga bit him on the neck to get his attention, and was immediately squashed by a clawed hand.

Kagome, holding Shippo gently, stood up.

"Well, are we going after this creature of yours, Inuyasha?"

Well, just let me know what you think... Hope for reviews.... I will finish this story regardless of reviews or whether or not anyone reads it...
