Sora: Alright, sorry I took so long and I will except any and all flames sent my way as a result of my laziness. id: yeah you should be sorry, now apologize to the nice people. Sora: *glares* don't push me id, but I am sorry, it's funny its finals week for me and while most people are saying they can't update, I find it's the only thing I can think of doing. ego: just get on with the story. melani: !-_- she don't own, katsua is the only character she owns. katsua: and even that's debatable. Sora: you don't own me katsua katsua: fine suit yourself ******************************************* ******************************************* As Inu-yasha and his friends walk along through the woods they are unaware of the pair of golden eyes following them. After a while the eyes turned away and left. ************************* " so you are Inu-yasha and Kagome-sama's son?" "Yeah." Yusuke looks ahead to Inu-yasha, who appears to be in deep thought. As though knowing that someone was watching him, Inu-yasha looks over his shoulder at Yusuke. "Hey, pup. How is it that Kagome never told you about any of this until a month before you came back here?" "I didn't even know I was a quarter demon till then." "Weren't those two fuzzy ears on your head a hint?" "They didn't show up till that morning." "Why not?" Asked Shippou, while hanging off of Yusuke's neck. "How the heck should I know? Anyway, what can you all tell me about this Naraku guy?" "He's evil, pure evil. He wants the sacred jewel shards so he can become a full demon." "So he's only a half demon, too. That doesn't sound so hard." Everyone looks at him like he's nuts. "What do you mean, 'that doesn't sound so hard'? We haven't been able to beat him yet and we've been trying to for a couple of years." "All I'm saying is that if he was really that big of a threat Botan would have mentioned him when she was telling me about you and the jewel." "You've mentioned this Botan before; you said you worked with her." "Yeah, she's my assistant." "What exactly do you do, pup?" "I'm a spirit detective." Yusuke looks like he's thinking, "It's basically the same as what you do Sango, only I don't use any weapons." "Ok, so how was she able to get any information on Inu-yasha?" "She asked the toddler if she could look through the archives." "You're not making any sense, pup. Just tell us how you met her so we can continue looking for Naraku." "I met her after I got hit by a car." Inu-yasha stops in his tracks, "You mean those big machines on wheels?" "Yeah." "And you survived?" "No, if I had survived I wouldn't have met Botan." Miroku rubs his chin, "So this Botan's a ghost?" "No, she's the grim reaper." While everyone's picking their jaws off of the ground, Yusuke continues to walk. ********************** Meanwhile, Katsua's been, gallivanting around feudal Japan waiting for Yusuke to complete her prophesy. While lazily twirling a flower in her fingers, she suddenly sits bolt upright and calmly calls out to the air, "You may as well come, Kagura. I know you're there, and why you've come." From the forest behind her, a young woman steps out. Dressed in a red kimono, that matches her eyes, and her black hair pulled up into a loose bun, with two whit feathers sticking out of it; she raises her hand, which is holding an ornate fan. "So you know why I'm here, then you must know that you will eventually be coming with me so why fight." "Who said I was going to fight, I was simply informing you that I know. And don't worry Kagura, you don't have much longer to wait. His time is coming." Kagura stiffens, "Watch your tongue wench, unless you want to get us both killed." Katsua quirks a smile at Kagura, "Neither you nor I have anything to fear from that bastard, and feel free to speak your mind here. It's not like he's watching." Kagura stares disbelievingly at Katsua. "You may want to close your mouth you may catch a fly." Kagura's face hardens again. "So are we going or not, I do so hate to be late." ******************************* ******************************* Sora: sorry for the short chapter, but I still haven't gotten over my writer's block. ego: I'm going to call the doctor, this is starting to worry me, can a person even have chronic writer's block. melani: apparently. katsua: oh yeah, I finally get to play with naraku *cackles insanely* everyone else: *takes a step away from katsua* Sora: I had no idea she liked naraku. katsua: who said I liked naraku, he's just fun to torment.
