CHAPTER FIFTEEN (by Rhapsody)

Inuyasha turned bright red. "Kagome, I…"

"Inuyasha, you came back!!!" she said, ignoring whatever he had said. She rushed
forward and hugged him so hard that he had trouble breathing.

Miroku and Sango exchanged a glance. "Aww…" they said together, but the couple
wasn't listening (highly embarrassed, Inuyasha was trying to pry Kagome off of him,
but she wasn't even noticing).

"Isn't that cute?" Sango smiled.

"Yeah…" Miroku agreed. His arm snaked around her waist and he pulled her closer to
him. They stood like that for a moment, until Miroku's hand traveled downward and
Sango slapped him hard. Business as usual.

Finally Inuyasha untangled himself from Kagome. He gasped a couple times, catching
his breath.

"You came back for me…" Kagome said with stars in her eyes.

"No, I didn't! I didn't want to come back at all!!!" Inuyasha declared hurriedly.
Kagome's eyes filled with tears.

"I… I… SIT BOY!" she yelled.

Yup, business as usual.

Sesshomaru had fled as soon as Tama-chan had left her perch. He had no wish to get
involved with his half-brother's messes.

He shook his head a little, enjoying the loss of the weight upon it. For a turtle Tama-
chan was heavy. And her habit of biting him every once in a while was awfully
annoying.

"Master!" he heard distantly. "Master Sesshomaru!"

His heart caught in his throat. Could it be--?

"Master Sesshomaru!"

The owner of the voice came into view. Jaken. He'd never been so happy to see his
annoying green servant in his life.

"Are you back then?" he asked coolly, not letting his emotions show.

"Absolutely, Lord Sesshomaru! Do you need me to do anything else?"

Sesshomaru considered for a moment. Hmm… Guess not. Yeah, Jaken would get
annoying again pretty quickly, but he needed some time to think of what to do to him
this time.

"Jaken, you must promise you must never bite me on the nose."

"Lord Sesshomaru???"

"Promise me, Jaken, or go jump off another bridge."

"I promise, Master…?"

He did not answer the unspoken question. "Come along, Jaken. We've got to go plan
how we shall try to steal the Tetsusaiga this time…"

"Coming, Lord Sesshomaru!"

"Myuh?"

Keitaro looked up from his hiding place in Kaede's hut. After his most recent pair of
ears had blown off Miroku had insisted he stay here, as to not alarm the populace. It
hadn't stopped that baboon-demon from stealing the Sticksaiga, but as far as he was
concerned Naraku could have it. It was virtually useless.

"Myuh," came the sound again. Something settled itself on his head. Keitaro felt the
top of his head. Smooth shell…

"Tama-chan!"

"Myuh," the turtle agreed.

Keitaro felt more relieved than he ever had in his life. Tama-chan was back! He
could go home!
He could be free of this crazy time!

He took off for the well at top speed.

"Are we done now, Rhap-chan?"

The girl stepped back and admired their work. "Yes, I think we are…"

"Writing Inuyasha was hard…" the pink-haired one groaned.

"That's why you let me do all the work…" Rhapsody muttered under her breath. "Yeah,
it was, Tat-chan…"

"So what are we going to torture the readers with next?"

They both grinned evilly and considered. "Wait and see…"
