DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha & co. If I did you think I'd be writing fanfics? Wait; scratch that, I'd still be writing these.

Pre-Post Author's Notes: WOW SIX POSTS! That is really more than I expected, hell I didn't expect five. To answer your question Demonic SSJ Brolly, this is probably the same story you read, I was the one who wrote before and I had to repost it. You really thought it was great?

Chapter One; A New Friend? Oh Boy, This'll Be Good.

"INUYASHA WE'RE HAVING THE WEDDING IN MY TIME! END OF DISCUSSION!" shouted Kagome as she and Inuyasha climbed out of the well and started off for Kaede's hut. It had been a month since they had announced their engagement and they were still arguing about whose time the wedding would be in. Shippo was the first to hear the "happy" couple coming. He went running to warn Kaede, Sango, Miroku, and Kouga. Kouga had been hanging around the village for when Kagome would regain her senses and ditch Inuyasha for him. It hadn't quite sunk in for him that they were now almost never separated, as Inuyasha returned with Kagome to her time when she had to go home.

When Shippo arrived and gave the warning they all braced themselves for the shouts to come. Sure enough, Kagome and Inuyasha were soon within sight and hearing range.

"In case you haven't noticed I don't look exactly normal," Inuyasha yelled at Kagome, though not quite as loud or as mean as he used to yell at her. "Any way you said you wanted our friends there, but they can't cross over to the other side of the well."

"When will they get past that and get to more important matters like who's the best man?" sighed Miroku.

Shippo seemed a little frustrated as well. "Lets just hope they'll take their arguing back to the other side soon. Then we'll get some sleep."

"Unless you go by the well, then you can still hear them bickering," said Sango, wondering where she had left the earplugs Kagome had given her. Kouga smirked at hearing them. "Well when Kagome realizes her mistake she will stop this madness and be my bride."

Inuyasha had heard everything they said and was in their faces with Kagome in one leap. "YOU keep your mouth shut wolf boy. And the rest of you, if you want us to stop fighting THEN HELP US OUT!"

Kaede came out of her hut at this time. She appeared very upset. "Have two ceremonies, one in this time and one in Kagome's. And as for Inuyasha's not looking normal, have the wedding in Kagome's time on the night of the new moon. NOW STOP FIGHTING ABOUT THAT!" Kaede took something out of her ears and handed them to Sango. "Ear plugs won't work when those two are arguing." Then she turned around and went back in her hut.

"The old hag didn't have a bad idea." Inuyasha mumbled, the others agreeing. Kagome smiled and yelled her thanks to Kaede from outside the hut. "Now that that is settled shall we go shard hunting?"

The group were eager to do it, happy to forget about the past month of wedding arguments and spent the rest of their day heading for a mountain village rumored to be plagued by a demon. Kouga didn't come with them to Inuyasha's delight. As the sun started going down Shippo was starting to whine about being hungry.

"Aw come on. We've been walking since lunch and I need to eat," cried a weary Shippo from Kagome's shoulder, a loud rumble came from his stomach to back up his statement.

Inuyasha turned to yell at Shippo but held his tongue when he saw his Kagome's sweet face. 'She looks beautiful even when she's tired. She probably didn't get enough sleep last night from all that arguing we did.' "Fine, lets make camp." said Inuyasha and went to take Kagome's pack off her back. This shocked the others but it wore off after a minute when they realized who he was stopping for. Miroku quickly built a fire so Sango could start diner. Shippo was asleep and using Kagome's backpack as a pillow. Kagome and Inuyasha sat beside each other and silently watched the rest of their group. After a few minutes Inuyasha broke their silence.

"The village is only a few more hours away. Tomorrow after breakfast we'll get going." He said.

Kagome noticed he didn't sound all that interested in what he was saying. 'He's probably just bored and wants to talk about something.' she thought. She decided to respond.

"Ok. So where are we going to live?"

Inuyasha got a confused look on his face that made her want to laugh. "Huh? What are you talking about woman?"

"I'm talking about when we are married. Where, well more like when will we live? My time or yours?" This only made Inuyasha blush and look more confused. "I haven't really thought about that. I guess here until we have all the jewel shards are found. I guess we'll see what happens." The truth was he didn't know what would come after the Shikon no Tama was whole again. He just knew he wanted Kagome there with him afterwards.

She saw the strange look on the face of the half demon beside her. He seemed to be deep in thought. He jumped a little when Kagome rested her head on his shoulder. Then she whispered to him. "We'll think about it when the time comes. Until then lets think of what's going on now." She then fell asleep on his shoulder.

"That is sweet," said Sango, just finishing her diner. "Though I think she'd be more comfortable lying down. I think she has a pillow and a blanket in her bag. I'll get it."

Sango gently moved the kitsune so he wouldn't wake up then rummaged through her friend's backpack. The pillow and blanket were close to the top so she found them easily.

When she gave Inuyasha the pillow he moved Kagome off of his shoulder without waking her up. He put the pillow on the ground and gently lowered her head onto it. When he was about to stand up he felt arms slip around his waist. He turned toward her and saw an innocent smile spread across her lips. He brought himself down to her eye level. She opened her eyes a little and smiled at the dog demon.

"Your sneaky, you know that," he said in a softer tone than usual. He smiled as he thought to himself having her arms around him when they slept. 'She smells so good. I wish we didn't argue so much about this stupid wedding. Oh well, we aren't arguing now. Might as well make the best of this moment.' He laid his head beside her's on the pillow and snuggled close to the girl, Her scent and aura enshrouded him like a warm blanket. He put his arms around her before falling to sleep.

Kagome giggled to herself as she looked at the sleeping hanyou. 'He looks so innocent when he's asleep. I almost wish he were asleep all the time. At least then he wouldn't be so loud and rude.' She looked at his face again and couldn't help but smile. 'But then he wouldn't say those sweet things when he puts his shields down. I guess it's better he isn't asleep all the time.' She yawned and closed her eyes. Then she fell asleep in the arms of her beloved, smiling. Sango put the blanket over them then sat beside Miroku.

"It's about time we saw those two cuddling," Miroku said with a smirk. "Why don't we ever do that?"

Sango sighed and got an aggravated look on her face. "Three reasons," she said. "One, we aren't a couple. Two, you're a pervert. And three, whenever you say something nice you ruin it by grabbing my butt." Sango saw him frown and became a little uncomfortable when he sat within touching distance.

"I'm sorry and I really can change. I vow never to grab your butt again." He then put his arm around her shoulder.

Sango felt his hand slide down and touch her bosom. She pushed him away then hit him on the head with Hiraikotsu. He seemed to be unconscious. 'Lecherous houshi, How could he think grabbing me there was any better than grabbing my butt?' She turned to make sure her companions hadn't woken up from the racket she had caused. They still slept peacefully. She laid down besides Shippo and fell asleep, dreaming of a certain monk not being so perverted.

~*~*~*~

"INUYASHA LOOK OUT!" shrieked Kagome.

Inuyasha had barely escaped the fangs of a golden furred cat demon about Sesshoumaru's size when he was in his dog form. When they had reached the boundary of the village a short while ago the creature had attacked. It had taken them by surprise and they barely had time to defend themselves. The large feline was faster than it's size let on. Inuyasha had barely escaped its claws again.

"That's it mangy cat is going down! No offense Kirara," Inuyasha shouted as he drew Tetsusaiga. The demon cat's eyes grew large as it sensed the sword's power. Then a girl's voice was heard.

"Don't hurt me, please. I meant you no harm."

"Who said that?" snarled Inuyasha, looking around for the girl but only seeing the demon and his friends.

"I did," said the voice, now giggling.

Inuyasha was starting to get annoyed. "And who am I talking to?" He looked around again, but this time in the demon's place stood a young woman about Kagome's age with catlike green eyes, claws, and golden hair with cat ears and a tail of the same color. She smiled to reveal fangs. Shippo was the first to speak.

"I think that girl is the demon," he said to Miroku.

"You think?" said the houshi sarcastically. Then before he knew it the girl demon was clutching to the back of his robes shivering. When he looked at her face he saw that her eyes were filled with fear.

She whimpered a little before she spoke, her voice soft but fearful as she spoke in a pleading way, "You won't let the big bad dog hanyou hurt me will you? I was just protecting my home from intruders."

As she said this Miroku became puddy in her hands. "Don't worry miss I'll keep you safe. But I must ask you something."

The demon seemed confused, "What?"

Miroku smiled. "Will you bear my chi-" Hiraikotsu hitting him on the head cut him off.

Sango sighed. "By protect he means grope."

"What's your name?" piped in Shippo.

The female demon smiled at the little fox demon. "My name is Katsue. I've been taking care of this village as long as I can remember. Forgive me for attacking you all. Even if it is abandoned, this village is my home."

"Wait a minute, YOU ALMOST RIPPED MY HEAD OFF FOR AN ABANDONED VILLAGE!" screamed Inuyasha.

Katsue bowed her head. "Yes. I am very sorry."

Inuyasha fell over with shock. Then he got back up and walked over to Kagome. "I thought you sensed a jewel shard!"

"I did and still do," Kagome said. She turned to Katsue and looked her over. Immediately she spotted a shard glowing on the other girl's forehead. "There is one on her forehead. Katsue will you give us the shard you have?"

"This?" Katsue plucked the jewel shard from her forehead, giggling when Kagome nodded. "I could, on one condition."

"Oh great," mumbled Inuyasha, silenced by Kagome's glare.

"What do you want?" asked an over excited kitsune.

Katsue got a sad look on her face. "Well being in this village all by myself is lonely, and you people seem so nice, I was wondering if I could join your group until…" She said the last few words so quietly even Inuyasha didn't hear her.

"What?" they all asked in unison.

"UNTIL I FIND A MATE OK!" she screamed at them.

"Can I please just fight her for the shard?" Inuyasha growled.

"Or you could trade me the cute monk for it," she added.

Miroku's eyes got big when she said that. 'She's pretty but I don't want to be used like a bartering piece. But she might be the only one who'd bear my child if I asked if she'd trade a Shikon shard for me. Wait no Miroku, you're a monk, resist the temptation. WHAT AM I THINKING! She's totally hot. This is confusing.' "You all really wouldn't trade me for a Shikon shard would you?" He turned to his friends to find them arguing over it.

"Come on girls, you don't really want him to stay do you? He gropes you every chance he gets. This is your chance to get rid of him." Inuyasha growled, obviously not caring Miroku could hear him.

Sango looked conflicted. "Inuyasha has a point. But do we want to unload him on this girl? I mean he's a pain even for demons."

"And he's our friend, we can't just leave him with her. And Katsue seems nice, why can't we bring her along?" said Shippo.

"Shippo is right, and Miroku is a helpful and a nice guy when he isn't perverted. And Katsue could be helpful." replied Kagome.

"SHE'S JOINING OVER MY UNCONSCIOUS BODY! Wait! Kagome! I WASN'T SERIOUS!"

"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" cried Kagome. Inuyasha was about five feet in the ground and definitely unconscious. Kagome walked up to the Katsue and shook her hand. "Your with us now. I hope you won't lose your too much of your mind."

"Like wise. So is the hanyou your boyfriend?" asked the smiling Katsue, pointing to the hole Inuyasha was in as she gave Kagome her shard.

"No he's my fiancé. He'll be very mad when he wakes up. Thank god for chocolate."

~*~*~*~

Inuyasha didn't wake up until sundown. Someone had pulled him out of the hole, probably Katsue or Miroku. He shook his head to clear it a little, then turned to where he heard Kagome's voice. She was talking to Katsue, Shippo, and Sango. He looked around to find Miroku who had ointment on his face, which was pretty scratched up.

'He must have groped that cat demon.' he thought with a smile. 'Wish I could've seen that. God damn it, Kagome when we get married Kaede is taking these beads off. Oh well, she'll make up for it.' The dog demon got up and tapped Kagome on the shoulder. She turned to him and smiled. "Finally up I see. We were starting to worry."

Inuyasha's face went red at this, and then he yelled, "YOU SAT ME TEN TIMES! I didn't even deserve it." He started pouting.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha you're right. I won't sit you for no reason from now on." Kagome said as she got up and scratched him behind the ears. Inuyasha got a goofy happy look on his face and sat down next to Kagome. Miroku got an idea.

'Cats like getting scratched behind the ears too.' He looked at the cat demon laughing with Sango and Shippo. He snuck up behind her and started scratching behind the base of her furry ears.

When Katsue first felt that she purred and closed her eyes. Then she turned around and scratched the houshi across the face. "DON'T TOUCH ME HOUSHI!" she spat at him.

"I'll get the ointment," sighed a weary Shippo as he went to rummage through Kagome's backpack again.

"How stupid can you get dog turd?" asked Kouga, appearing from out of nowhere. "Inviting a cat demon into your party."

Inuyasha stopped smiling from Kagome's scratching and glared at Kouga. Katsue turned to the wolf demon and started hissing. "You got something against my kind wolf wimp?"

"Only that they smell almost as bad as dog turd over here."

"I smell better than you. You smell like a wet dog."

"Cat slut."

"Drowned wolf."

"Whore."

"Bastard."

"Wench."

"Son of a bitch."

"Is that an insult or a statement?"

Shippo sighed. "How long will they be doing this?"

Kagome shrugged. "I think all night. Who wants diner?"

Everyone nodded except Katsue and Kouga. Those two were still cursing each other out when everyone went to sleep.
