Disclaimer: Nope don't own Inuyasha of course! *mumbles*
Chapter 2
Akami was exhausted. She had not had a rest in days, and after battling with a demon as powerful as the one she just fought, she was surprised she was even conscious. The tall hanyou rubbed her dog ears placed on the top of her head. It had always been a habit of hers to do that when she was stressed out. It was her biggest weakness, if Inuyasha rubbed right behind her ears she would always lose her favorite play sword she had made out of a few branches lying around, or whatever he felt like taking from her at the moment. It was blackmail for Akami. Inuyasha could get her to do extremely stupid things just rubbing her behind the ears, but he never told anyone else about it. Her brown hair looked like it had not been brushed in who knows how many days. Akami could care less how she looked right now and crawled under the nearest tree. Soon she was curled up in a tight ball, still clothed in the blood stained outfit, and fell into a deep sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And that's how she was found. Inuyasha knelt over by the body and found that she was still breathing, not even realizing that the figure lying on the ground was fast asleep.
"Is this the girl you told us about, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, glancing at the worried hanyou.
"She looks exactly like you Inuyasha! Except her hair is brown of course, and she's wearing the same outfit, except it's tan of course and-", but Shippou's rambling's were quickly cut off when the figure shot up, and drawing her sword, faced the group. Just coming out of her half-awake state, she looked over at Inuyasha, who had a rare grin on his face, obviously amused by the reaction of the other half-demon.
"Inuyasha?" she said with a look of astonishment on her face. Akami didn't even seem to realize the two humans and kitsune staring questioningly at her.
"Feh. Who else would it be, Pipsqueak?" but before he could stifle a laugh, he was quickly tackled by the girl, who was yelling something along the lines of 'I thought I told you never to call me that name again' or something like it. Miroku had managed yo pull Inuyasha away from the girl hanyou, just to be more surprised to see that he was laughing. He also saw, that instead of anger in the strangers eyes, he saw happiness.
Sango and Miroku gave questioning looks at each other as the two best friends hugged and Akami stuck out her hand towards the three confused people and shook each one's hand.
"I'm Akami", she said with a smile on her face.
"She certainly doesn't ACT like Inuyasha", Sango mumbled to Miroku and Shippou, who nodded their heads.
After a long time of introductions, and explaining how Inuyasha and Akami knew each other, and how she had come to this part of Feudal Japan. She then took out a small pouch that was tied around her waist, and to everyone's surprise, it held at least four of the Shikon shards.
"How in the hell did you get those, Akami?" Inuyasha asked reaching out for the Shikon Shards she was holding in her hands.
Shippou, who was now sitting in Akami's lap, asked to no one in particular, "I thought we were the only ones collecting the Shikon Shards. Except for Naraku, of course."
Sango had seen Akami flinch when Shippou said Naraku and stated more than asked, "You're searching for Naraku too." Akami nodded at this and Inuyasha quickly turned to her.
"What? How could you possibly think you're strong enough to go after him by yourself?? How could you be so stupid?!"
Miroku and Sango slowly looked over at Akemi only to see her eyes closed and eyebrow twitching. She slowly opened her eyes and Shippou cautiously climbed off her lap onto Sango's shoulder.
"Inuyasha", Akami said a little too calm for everyone's liking, "you just can't accept the fact that I'm a better fighter than you."
"What?!" the angry hanyou yelled.
"I always have been"
"Have not!"
"Have too!"
"Have not!"
"Have too!"
"Lets go", said Miroku to Sango and they left the hut with Shippou and Kirara following them, leaving the two hanyou's to their bickering.
