Setting: Basically the same as last time (which was 2 weeks ago) only this time Lirimaer has gone into Goth mode. Wearing a black V-neck tee shirt that has some sparkles with a pair of black leather pants and chunky black fake leather high-heeled boots (aka hooker boots), she definitely did not play the part of the accused *Elf*. Her hair was once again down and she was wearing silver bracelets and silver rings in shapes that made you wonder what kind of indent they would make if you punched and/or slapped someone with them on. VERY intimidating next to Kagome, who had gone back into goody-two-shoes style and was wearing a yellow dress with pink flowers on it and had white slip-on sandals. The gold chain around her neck was the one that had once held the Shikon no Tama (now in Kikyo's possession under the eye of Lirimaer) and her ring was one of the cheap gold/aluminum alloy ones.

Kagome: I have returned to claim my place back.

Lirimaer: Okay. 1, you are completely wasting your time. 2, you are more importantly wasting mine. I have a date that I should be heading off to soon. (casts around a glance for a certain black haired male villain) 3, you don't look like you can handle the types of things that we are facing these days.

Kagome: LIKE?

Lirimaer: Like the three plant demons, the nine wolf youkai, and the five oni that we killed. That was just this morning. Would you like me to continue?

Kagome: No, but I still think that you should have been disqualified form the *battle* because you didn't tell us that you were an Elf.

Inuyasha: No one has been able to thoroughly prove that she is an Elf because the only person that knows for a fact doesn't wish to get involved with it.

Sessho-maru: Darn right I don't! Why should I get involved in something that will only cause me to do something that I will regret?

Inuyasha: *Have* you ever done something that you regret today?

Sessho-maru: Let's not get into the details right now. Maybe later.

Kikyo: I know as well, but I was told not to get involved for my own safety's sake.

Lirimaer: Correct.

Kagome: Well, hasn't anyone seen her ears when the wind has blown or when she is sleeping?

Kagura: She sleeps alone and I have kindly stopped all of the winds per request of my father.

Lirimaer: WHO has yet to show up for our date. I don't have my life to waste sitting on my butt waiting for him.

Kagome: YOU ARE DATING NARAKU? [keels over with laughter]

Lirimaer: He is a very sensitive, gentle man underneath the façade of his which makes him appear cold, cruel and in love with the different concepts of torture.

Kikyo: I thought that they would be perfect for each other.

Inuyasha: I think that that is the one thing that you have done right since you were brought back.

Naraku: [appearing very out of breathe] Lirimaer, I am here. *gasp* Kanna refused to stay home. *gasp/rapid inhale-exhale* What did I miss? *rapid inhale-exhale*

Jaken suddenly appears

Jaken: Have you witches perfected that spell yet?

Lirimaer: Where did you come from?

Jaken: Never mind that. Have you or have you not finished that spell?

Kikyo: We finished it, but it is only temporary.

Lirimaer: It still needs some fine-tuning. Give me about a week.

Jaken: That's what you said two weeks ago. [walks off grumbling about incompetent witches and their inability to perfect spells]

Lirimaer: Well. That was odd. But Naraku, you and are going to be late if we don't hurry up.

Miroku: ( voice dripping with sarcasm) How sweet. One of my new friends is dating the man and/or thing that I have abhorred all of my life. Ironic the way that things work out these days, isn't it?

Inuyasha: You are just jealous that I have managed to make Kikyo my girlfriend and Sango won't give you the time of day.

Miroku: Wanna make something of it, punk?

Inuyasha: Not really. . . . I, too, have a date.

Miroku: Rub it in why don't you?

Inuyasha & Naraku: Oh, we will. Don't you worry about that.

The two stare at each other in mortification.

Kikyo: Did you just say the exact same thing?

Lirimaer: I knew it! They are really brothers that were separated at birth for reasons unknown!

Sessho-maru: (sounding greatly amused) More like they are such enemies that they are really more like best friends.

Lirimaer: I never thought of that one. . . . . (sits down to think about that aspect of the situation)

Kagome: (talking to the heavens) AM I NEVER GOING TO GET THIS FIXED??

Random Villager: No.

Kagome: SHUT UP WHY DON'T YOU!!! (stalks off looking like she is ready to bite off someone's head)

Hojo: Hi, Kagome. Do you want to go to th-- (Kagome bit his head off, literally)

Lirimaer: (sounding a little more cheerful then normal) Well, that takes care of that little annoyance, doesn't it?

Kikyo: I have yet to figure out what makes you so d*mn happy about bloodshed and death.

Naraku: That is one of the things that made me fall in love with her.

Lirimaer: I'm glad. (her and Naraku walk off arm-in-arm)

Inuyasha: Shall we? (offers arm to Kikyo)

Kikyo: But of course. (takes his arm)

As they walk off into the sunset with Naraku and Lirimaer, the rest of the crowd dissolves and goes home, whispering about how sweet the two couples look together.

THE END
