AN: I realized two things yesterday...1.) I need to detail the rest of my story a HELL of a lot better than my first chapter and 2.) I need to give you guys a better description of what Jin looks like. So here I go: He's about 5' 7" and he has pale green hair. And he's 15. Don't know if I said that, but he is. He wears a white tee shirt and pants like Inuyasha's except they're black. He uses daggers as his weapons, and he's fast as hell. And thanks to Inu-Fighter-Zero, I'll list the pairings: I\K M\S(maybe). And now..HERE'S CHAPTER 2!!!!!!!!!!!....so read...now.^_^

Chapter - 2

A Reunion

"NO!" Jin awoke drenched in sweat, tears filling his eyes. Kagome and the others just stared at him. "Sorry, guys..just a nightmare." Jin was still breathing heavily.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Kagome asked, concerned about the hanyou.
"yeah.it's just a recurring nightmare. I've been having this nightmare ever since I escaped from Naraku's castle." He stared at the floor.
"Must have been a helluva nightmare. You woke up screaming and on the verge of tears." Miroku was eating ramen and sitting on a tree stump.
"It's how my parents died. It's the same one over and over." He continued to look at the floor.
"Feh. You're just weak." Inuyasha was looking down at all of them. "I mean, get over it. Crying isn't going to bring them back." He was right. Jin just couldn't help it though. He thought about them all the time.
"SIT, BOY!!!!" Kagome had called out. Inuyasha was immediately hurled to the leaf covered forest floor. He angrily stared at her. "How can you be so insensitive?!" Kagome's eyes were on fire. Inuyasha made is favorite noise ("feh") and walked to the pot of ramen.
"Inuyasha's right though. I can't bring them back. They're gone forever. I'll just have to accept it and move on." Jin was breathing regular now and he looked much calmer. Kagome kinda just stared for a few seconds.
"So, you're ok now?" Sango asked. Jin was a little startled because he hadn't noticed her earlier.
"Yep. Thank you for your concern." Jin smiled and sat down to eat breakfast. "You know, my village isn't very far from here. If we keep traveling east, we should reach it within the day."
"How come we didn't know about a village being near here?" Miroku asked.
"Maybe because we never been, Miroku," Sango snapped. Jin started laughing.
"You two would make a great couple." He continued to laugh. Sango blushed a deep red.
"No we wouldn't!!!" she shouted. "I would never go out with a lecher like him!!" a couple seconds later, she felt a hand on her ass. "LECHER!!!!" Her boomerang came down hard on Miroku's head.
"OWWWWW!!!! Owie ow ow ow ow ouch!" Jin thought he was going to die laughing.
"Hi, guys!" Jin looked around to see the source of the voice. A small kitsune pup was stading there with a bright smile on his face. Jin was confused.
"SHIPPOU! How was your adventure? Did you find what you were lookin' for?" Kagome picked up the pup and hugged him.
"Did you have fun on your little adventure?" Sango hugged him when Kagome put him down.
"Yep." He pulled a stone out of his pocket. It was a deep, rich green color and it was a smooth oval shape. "I found it in the same place that I left it in." He returned the stone to his pocket. He looked over at the pot of ramen and his stomach started to rumble. "Eheheheheh. Guess I'm a little hungry." Jin handed him a bowl. "Arigato..um, who are you?"

"I'm Jin Tsukamoto. I'm gonna be traveling with you for a while." Jin smiled down at Shippou and shook his hand. The young kitsune looked confused.

"Why?" He asked innocently.
"Because you guys are after the same person I am. He took my family away from me. I plan on getting revenge. Or die trying." He stared intently at the ground, a look of pain and anger on his face.
"Uuuuhhhh..let's move on. We need to get to that village of yours. I'm sure your friends would love to know you're ok." Kagome began packing her sleeping bag and supplies into her backpack.

They had been walking for an hour when they arrived the village. Jin looked at it with both joy and relief. It was still there, and everyone seemed happy enough. As soon as Jin entered the village, a few people stopped and stared. One man came up to him and asked, "Jin..is it really you? Do my eyes deceive me?"
"No, your eyes work fine. I'm back. And it feels good to be home." Jin smiled at the man.
"Everybody! Jin has returned!" Everyone in the village stopped and stared. They all began coming up to him and hugging him. They all seemed happy to see him.
"Do you have a reputation here or what?" Miroku was trying to squeeze his way through the insanely large amount of people.
"I'm happy to see that you are safe, Jin. You know, Sakura hasn't been the same ever since you were captured. You need to visit her. It would help her immensely." Jin nodded in agreement. He told the others to make themselves at home in his house. He began walking over to the girls house, and of course Inuyasha and Miroku were following him.
"Sakura! Are you there?" A girl about Jin's age stepped out of the door. She was a little shorter than him and had long, pink hair.
