Hey!! Special Shouts 2 Jon + Chereese, since you two are like the only people reading this smack. Lol. I do not own Inu Yasha or any parts or organs from his body. Love you guys. Hope you enjoy ^_^ By the way, whenever you see words like this: 'You want to what?' or whatever, that just means Inu Yasha's narration, or his deep, intellectual thoughts.

Chapter 3: So, It's Cursed By Monsters Eh?

The search had begun! It was finally time to go look for Miroku and Sango!
'Oh that Monk! What could he have gotten himself into? Here we are wasting time looking for them, when we could be out getting some more jewel shards. I smell something. Ahuck! Something smells disgusting. It's probably Kagome. She's always putting on that weird smelly stuff from that little glass bottle. I don't see the point. It just makes her smell worse than she already does. Well actually, she doesn't smell that bad. But she reeks like Kikyo. which isn't a bad thing either.'

"Master Inu Yasha, may I suggest that you fly and look for the others, just because I fear that we are wasting too much time. Naraku has been hiding for a long time, I noticed. Who knows what he could be scheming," Myouga suggested. He sat back down on Inu Yasha's shoulder and meditated on what he just said.

"Myouga what should I do with the others though. Kagome and that I mean. I can't leave them alone for a minute, and they get into some kind of trouble. Can I trust you to watch over them Myouga?" Inu Yasha requested. He waited for an answer. None came.

Myouga looked like he was in very deep thought. He remained silent.

"So I guess you'll come with me and fly. Maybe we'll catch up with that guy who looks like Kagome. He seems like real trouble eh Myouga? We'll show him up eh Myouga? You know cut him off!" Inu Yasha laughed. He knew exactly what to do to get Myouga to respond.

"No, no, no!! I'll be fine here!!" Myouga jumped off of Inu Yasha's shoulder as quickly as possible and ran off in the other direction. He couldn't stand being in the face of danger. The thought of death and having to go to hell was bad enough, but living it was much worse.

"Hey flea! I thought you liked danger!" He jumped up into the air and searched the area, leaving Kagome, who was riding on her bike, Myouga, who had just got squashed by one of Kagome's bike's tires, and Shippo, who was playing with on of Kagome's Barbie's.

Nothing suspicious seemed to be around. It was a normal forest, not to far from the village. Inu Yasha searched harder, wanting to get this thing over with. His youkai eyes pierced through the trees, showing Inu Yasha everything that it was hiding. Anything could have his fellow travelers. Anything from a tree to a river could be concealing them, his friends.

He didn't want to admit it, but he did consider Sango to be his friend. even the Monk was sort of a companion. Yes you could even say that he had a secret liking to Miroku (nothing sexual though. ew!!).

As he was watching each leaf of every tree closely a serpent of smoke was leading Inu Yasha to the direction of a small teahouse way off into the distance. It was burning. or maybe not. It was too far for him to see, but he knew that he could not waste anymore time.

He glided back down to where Kagome, the fox and Myouga were having a funny conversation. Inu Yasha could hear every word. It was about him!

'Hmph! After all that he did for them. Which was a lot. For example: he didn't kill them! He left them perfectly alive and even protected them, to a point. This is the way they spoke of their savior?'

He touched the ground grabbed Kagome, Shippo and threw Myouga into his hair. They flew into the air and towards the smoking building.

'Did you find Sango and Miroku Inu Yasha? Is that where you're taking us?" Kagome inquired. She was a bit confused, since Inu Yasha hadn't said a word before sweeping them up. Yet she didn't want to blow up at him since his eyes burned a flame of hatred.

"No, I'm just giving you a tour of the area. How does that sound?" he mocked.

'This girl is always full of questions. She's a time waster and that's it. She's no jewel detector that's for sure. Yet I like it when she's close by, especially when she's so close. Holding her like this, I wonder if she likes it too.'

"See that smoke of f in the distance? I think that's where they might be," he explained, clutching Kagome different so that her body would be pressed on his.

"I don't see anything Inu Yasha!" said Shippo. "Your eyes do seem kind of weird. Are you okay?"

"We don't see it because we're not like Inu Yasha," Kagome said smartly.

"Yes, but surely a fox like Shippo would be able to see something that Inu Yasha could see," Myouga had ended his silence.

Inu Yasha avoided responding to the pointless conversation, trying not to be annoyed. This blabber was the reason why they hadn't captured all the shards of the Shikon Jewel. But his mind trailed from those things. His mind was on Kagome, who was holding on to Inu Yasha tighter than she ever had before.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It was now visible to the youkai, flea, kitsune and human that the teahouse was not on fire but was simply smoking heavily from the inside. The teahouse was rather large. Its capacity exceeded anything that Kagome had seen in her life. There were symbols all over the outer walls. Kagome knew exactly what they were. They were sutras, extremely powerful ones. They would hold off any demon, even Inu Yasha, she feared.

A beautiful garden with a wide variety of flowers and plants filled the area around the teahouse. The scent was enchanting and relaxing. Shippo felt sleepy, even more than usual. Something wasn't right.

He moved closer to Inu Yasha, a very seldom and rare thing. But who know what would pop out at them any minute. Danger had many different faces and a pretty one wasn't an odd one to come across.

'They're here those two. I can smell them. Sango. I can feel her humiliation and uncomfortable feelings from here. What is that priest doing to her? I swear, one day I'm going to chop off that hand of his.'

"Well here we are! Why don't you do the honours, founder of the sacred Miroku and Sango hideout!" Kagome said happily. It was a relief to know that she would soon be sharing her journey with all of her friends again. or at least she thought.

Inu Yasha smiled at her from the side of his mouth than he realized what he was doing and stopped. He ran up the steps and touched the door. ZEAAAAPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!! The door wasn't going to allow Inu Yasha to enter, expanding Kagome's fears.

"What the hell! Shit! Now what?" Inu Yasha growled.

"Now we go in without you!" Kagome perked.

"Hmph! So you can get killed? I think not. We'll just have to wait until they decide to come out, or we could just call for them."

It was too late, Kagome had walked into the house with Shippo scooped up into her hand. The sound of voices could be heard clearly by Inu Yasha. They consisted of curious girl voices which said: "So your hand. it's cursed by monsters, eh?"

*Hey C'mon I really want sum reviews is that too much to ask??? I think the contrary for those who say yes! Jokes Luv u all. xoxoxox*
