Miroku: "hey when are we coming back into the story?

Shippo: *whines*yea! we aren't DEAD right?

Meeting Old Friends

ahsayuni: aww.....we aren't getting anywhere walking.....can we run?!

*inuyasha rolls his eyes* If you were planning on whining you should have stayed there!!!

*Kagome gave inuyasha a stern look* "That's a good idea maybe we should run. We won't waste as much time *looks over to Inuyasha

waiting for a reply* *Inuyasha already bent over to carry her piggy-back

like many other times*

"well common we don't have all day...sheesh!" *kagome climbs on*

"okay lets go now." Ahsayuni said growing weary

*both Inuyasha & Ahsayuni were running at magnificent speeds* Ahsayuni would speed up often & pass inuyasha though, making it look like they were racing. whenever she did that, inuyasha would respond by passing her & going further ahead. *Kagome smiled at them doing this*

~*~ ~*~ ~*~~*~

After a few hours later they arrived at the outskirts of the village. *ahsayuni yelled* "WOW! we have finally made it....*grins*"

Inuyasha had to wake up Kagome who had fallen a sleep. "Kagome!!! WAKE up!!!!

*she awoke startled* "HUH? WHAT?! WHERE'S THE FIRE? *Ahsayuni chuckled at this* *inuyasha looked at her blankly, Kagome blushing in embarrassment*

"oh...we are here!*Kagome changing the subject hurriedly*"

"yea?! what was your first clue?*Inuyasha said with sarcasm*

*Kagome ignored this rude comment & started walking off towards it* "common guys..." *both following her*

"wow...this is big *eyes glittering & in awe * "

"It's the same as any village ...same size, same shape, same dullingness..."

*ahsayuni blinked a few times*

"well sorry*she added with aditude*...i have never actually been in a real village...."

"what? you've been in fake villages?"

"...nevermind....." ahsayuni said offended.

"no...i wanna know *inuyasha sneered* "

"Drop it inuyasha! *kagome intercepted their baby fight. "gosh.. why can't you two just get along?" (not expecting an answer anyway)*Inuyasha & Ahsayuni remained quiet & followed Kagome*

"are you to hungry or sleepy or anything...?"Kagome asked the two as if they were babies. *ahsayuni & inuyasha both shrugged*

"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!" a small voice said in delight. *Kagome turned around to see Shippo clinging to her left leg* She smiled, & picked him up. "hey Shippo!I missed you....i didn't know you were going to be here..."*she hugged him* then she asked "Are the other's here?" *hope springing into her voice*

"yea!*pointed to a small hut* they are in there.. "he jumped down from her arms into Inuyasha's ."hey Inuyasha! i missed you *hugging him tightly*" inuyasha eyes popped out in surprise from shippo or the hug...(i don't really know, but if i had to take a guess it'd be the hug =)

"um..erm...get off ...me.. shrimp....*barely could breathe*" Shippo sighed as if expecting him to say something like that & jumped down.

"um...who are you? "Shippo asked the girl demon standing by Kagome ,whom he didn't notice before.

"oh! Shippo, this is ahsayuni...we met her on the way here *kagome smiled*" *ahsayuni smiled not knowing what to say*

"oh, hi ahsayuni! I'm shippo...*he held out his hand to shake*" She took it being polite. "It's nice meeting you..(he added)"Looking back over toward kagome ,"Sango & Miroku will be happy to see you guys".

"oh ,okay, lets go then*she said following Shippo*" They entered the hut ,which Sango & Miroku were eating their rice dinner & didn't notice them come in. Miroku was having a hard time keeping his rice in the chop sticks, it was all over his lap & around him.

Miroku looked up to shippo laughing at his rice problem. Then his eyes flooded with joy. He got up immediatly and hugged both inuyasha & kagome &sango also got up & joined the hug. "sheesh...whats with all the hugs..?" inuyasha said tiredly.*ahsayuni stood awkwardly in the corner watching them hug*

After they were done & satisfied with the hugs ,Sango & Miroku looked at the girl in curiosity. Miroku noticed ahsayuni & nudged inuyasha waiting to be introduced. "owwwww!!!!*he hit him harder* what's your problem?!"

Kagome noticed this & smiled. "Miroku , Sango, this is ahsayuni..."
