It's Cara again. Hope you enjoy!
Inu-Yasha and crew, followed by their three new companions, Cara, Shelly, and Mimi are now starting their first adventure together.
"Oh, gods, as if rain wasn't enough of a delay." Mimi said as the group approached the foot of a particularly large hill, or a particularly small mountain, whichever it was no one could tell, and it really didn't matter anyway.
"Delay? You don't even need those jewel shards, and you're complaining about delays?" Inu-Yasha snapped.
"Calm down. It's not that bigga deal. We'll just walk around it." Shelly said coolly. Myouga, sitting on Sango's left shoulder, closed his eyes, and crossed his arms thoughtfully, as he's known to do.
"That wouldn't be such a wise decision, Shelly. I've heard of a place like this. The 'mountain-hills' they call it. To the left lies a large crevice in the earth too wide to be crossed, and to the right lies a large pool of quicksand."
"Then we'll just have to climb this thing!" Cara said determinedly, and marched up what seemed a suitable path. She missed a rock in the path and tripped, and had big swirly unconscious eyes.
"If we can't go around, and we can't go on it, how're we supposed to get to the jewel shard?" Shippo asked. Everyone thought a moment. Shelly twisted a strand of her dark brown hair around her finger absent-mindedly as she concentrated on the situation at hand. Cara's hazel eyes turned almost green as they shown with thoughtfulness. Mimi vaguely watched a multi- chromatic flower she accidentally created grow and twist into many vines, swallowing an old willow tree as ideas unfolded in her mind.
"Of course! It's so obvious! Why didn't we think of it before!" Cara burst excitedly all of the sudden. Everyone looked at her confusedly.
"Mimi can get anywhere she wants just by blinking, right? So we all just hold on to her and she blinks us past this mountain-hill thingy!" Cara said with a triumphant glow.
"I don't even know how to use that power, though. And what if it just takes me?" Mimi argued.
"Then just blink right back! Come on, it's worth a try!" Mimi shrugged, as did everyone else, and they all formed a chain. Miroku took both Shelly and Sango's hand, Shelly took Mimi's hand, Shippo perched on Mimi's shoulder, Mimi took Cara's hand, Kagome took Cara's hand, and Inu-Yasha, blushing, took Kagome's hand. Cara grinned at them.
"You two look so cute!" She said honestly.
"Shut up!" Kagome muttered at the same time as Inu-Yasha began to say "Why you..."
"Hurry, Mimi! Blink!" And so Mimi blinked. Everyone stood still.
"Maybe if we all blinked...?" Shelly suggested. Everyone groaned.
"That was a stupid suggestion, Shelly. It won't work." Sango said.
"It's worth a try." Shelly said quietly. Everyone rolled their eyes.
"One..." Mimi said, as she tucked a strand of black hair with a red tip behind her ear.
"Two..." Kagome said.
"Mew!" Kilala finished. Everyone blinked and opened their eyes. They were on the other side of the mountain.
"Well whaddya know?" Cara said, chuckling lightly.
"Alright, let's go." Inu-Yasha commanded. Everyone moved forward except Kagome.
"Uhh, Inu-Yasha?" Kagome said, blushing and staring at their still attached hands. He immediately let go, blushing as well. Cara raised her eyebrows at them.
"Not a word." They said in unison.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"You sure you don't sense any demons yet?" Shelly asked. Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Shippo, Cara (who had developed her own sort of intuition as to whether a demon was close or not) and Mimi (who sensed them magically) all shook their heads.
"It may take weeks to find one. Wouldn't be the first time." Sango told Shelly. Miroku nodded his head in agreement.
"DIE, PERVERT!" Sango yelled. THUD. Everyone else got a big anime sweat drop.
"What'd you do this time?" Cara asked Miroku.
"Nothing! I just agreed with her!" he replied, rubbing the back of his agonized neck. The group turned their eyes on Sango, who in returned, shrugged.
"One learns to be cautious when dealing with a pervert like him." She said coolly.
"Can we make camp here?" Kagome asked. Inu-Yasha was about to say no when Cara interrupted.
"We sure can. And if you don't want to rest for tonight, Inu-Yasha, you can go ahead with anyone who will go with you." Inu-Yasha looked to the others for support, who all in turn hid behind Cara.
"We'll camp here." Inu-Yasha said, admitting defeat. Cara looked at him smugly.
"I only brought enough tents for me and Shippo, Sango, Miroku, and Inu- Yasha. What're you guys gonna do?" Kagome asked.
"Easy. Four tents, right? Two to a tent, then." Cara said. "I'll bunk with Mimi, if she doesn't mind," Mimi nodded her agreement, "Shelly will sleep with Shippo, Inu-Yasha and Kagome will sleep together, and," Inu-Yasha and Kagome looked at each other and blushed, "Sango, that leaves you and Miroku. That okay?" Sango pouted.
"Why can't I sleep with Kagome and Inu-Yasha sleep with Miroku?" Cara was prepared for that one.
"Inu-Yasha, who would you rather sleep with, Kagome or Miroku?" Inu-Yasha thought a moment.
"The monk snores. Kagome."
"Alright, so it's two-against-one. You lose. Miroku's your problem." Meanwhile, Miroku was a little ways off feeling sorry for himself. Shelly snickered lightly at Sango's misfortune. Sango turned dark, evil-looking eyes upon her, which made Shelly gulp in fear.
Kagome kicked together a pile of wood and got a pack of matches from her coat pocket. Inu-Yasha, trained in the ways of modern-day camping, put up the tents. Shippo gathered extra firewood. Sango played with Kilala. Cara, Mimi, and Shelly wandered a little ways off to talk.
"Is it real?" Cara asked aloud, sitting on a tree stump. Mimi leaned her back against a tree, stuck her hands in her pockets, stared at the forest floor, and kicked at the ground repeatedly.
"It would seem so." She said. Shelly sat in a pile of soft leaves.
"How're we gonna get back?" She wondered.
"Well, in a few weeks we'll go to Kagome's place and get home from there." Cara answered logically.
"But in the first Inu-Yasha manga, it is set in Tokyo, 1997." Shelly reminded her.
"I know, I've been thinking about that. I figure we'll just find that site and figure it out from there." Cara answered. She looked toward Mimi.
"You okay, Mimi? You're kinda quiet..." Mimi gave a long, dramatic sigh.
"I miss Josh." Cara got a huge anime sweat drop.
"You're pathetic." She told Mimi.
"And you aren't? All you talk about is that Justin dude, and you aren't even going out with him!" Mimi snapped, green-brown eyes glowing with fury. Cara was about to get angry, but sighed in defeat."
"You're right." Was all she said. Her own hazel eyes began slightly shimmering with a hint of tears, even though she tried to hide it.
"What I wouldn't give for a nice hot bath, a warm bed, and a Yu Yu Hakisho marathon." Shelly said. Cara and Mimi both had to smile at this.
"And a cheeseburger." Cara added, playing with her shoulder-length reddish- brown hair.
"And a snow day!" Mimi added.
"A million dollars!" Said Shelly
"An Avril Lavigne CD! And Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton! A whole bunch of CDs!" Said Cara.
"A laptop computer!"
"A mansion!"
"A whole bunch of servants!"
"A magic genie!"
"An indoor swimming pool!"
"An Inu-Yasha marathon!" Mimi and Shelly stared at Cara.
"So I'm obsessed. So sue me. Contact my lawyer."
~~~~~~~
Back at the campsite...
"Raman's done!" A stampede came Kagome's way.
~~~~~~~
"We better be getting' back, food's probably done by now." Ten minutes later...
"That was great, Kago!" Cara said happily. "I love chicken Raman!" Cara glared at Inu-Yasha.
"Err... thanks... Kagome..." he muttered. He blushed. Cara patted her tummy and said
"Well, I'm officially full, I'm going to write. Could I please borrow a pen and some paper, Kago?" Cara asked politely.
"Yeah, hold on." She got out a notebook, two pens, and a large supply of towels from her backpack.
"I'm gonna go dip my feet in the spring while I wait for my food to get all digested. Anyone wanna come with?" Kagome offered.
"Sounds good. I'll come." Cara said. All the girls nodded their agreement.
"Thought you were gonna write, Cara?" Shippo pointed out. Cara grinned, threw a towel over her shoulder, grabbed the notebook and pens, and said
"Don't worry about me, I'm a professional multi-tasker." They all went to the nearby spring. Mimi, Shelly, and Cara walked together right behind Kagome and Sango.
"Ever notice how there's automatically a hot spring close by wherever Kagome and Inu-Yasha make camp?" Cara pointed out. The spring was bubbling softly. All the girls took their shoed off and relaxed at the edge of the pool. Eventually they took their clothes off and decided to go in. Cara, Mimi, and Shelly, all worn out from the day's work, almost fell asleep. They might've fallen asleep if all of the suddenly in a split two seconds Cara's eyes got bigger while her pupils got smaller.
"DAMN!" she cursed as she leapt out of the water to the bank, and then running some more. She hastily grabbed a towel and threw it around herself as she ran. All of the other girls quickly followed. What had become of their friend? What was going on?
"Inu-Yasha!" Cara summoned in a loud voice as she neared the campsite.
"What?!" He demanded grumpily.
"You know Myouga's sixth sense about being able to escape danger before it happens?"
"What of it?"
"I haven't seen him since right after we blinked passed the mountain- hills." She replied, sweat pouring from her face.
~~~~~~~
"When I find that little blood-sucking dumb ass flea I'm gonna kill him!" Inu-Yasha muttered from the tree he was watching the skies from. There were scouts placed in all directions. If any demon should get near, they would be ready. Kagome sat in the tree next to him.
"Oi! Inu-Yasha! I think there's something you should come look at!" Shippo yelled loudly from the west of Inu-Yasha's hiding place. The loud noise startled Kagome and she began to lose her balance. Inu-Yasha grabbed her wrist and helped her back on the tree branch..
"Be careful, Kagome." He said, looking her in the eye.
'He's not acting himself. Something's up.' Kagome thought to herself. Inu- Yasha jumped down.
"Uh... Inu-Yasha?" Kagome said, going bug-eyed. "You forgot me! And I'm afraid of heights all by myself!" She cried.
"Jump down!" He said back to her.
"I'll break my neck!" Kagome said in a panicking state. She was close to tears. Inu-Yasha sighed.
"I meant jump and I'll catch you, moron." Kagome gulped.
"Ok-k-k-k-kay," Kagome said, stuttering with fear. She stood up on the branch, steadied herself, then jumped. Inu-Yasha caught her easily.
"There, safe and sound." He said to her, putting her down. She gave him a huge hug.
"Thanks, Inu-Yasha. I was really scared..." Inu-Yasha went red in the face.
"Well, uhh. Umm, no, no, no, prob--"
"Inu-Yasha! Hurry UP!" Shippo said yelling. Inu-Yasha and Kagome both went running for Shippo's location. Cara, who was spying in the bushes, cursed mentally.
"I'll get those demons or whatever they are for screwing up an adorable Inu- Kago moment like that..."
~~~~~~~
"What is it, Shippo?" Inu-Yasha asked seriously.
"It looks like... wasps..."
"Naraku." Inu-Yasha said.
"Inu-Yasha! Come over here!" Mimi yelled.
"I could've sworn I saw a little green thing that looked an awful lot like that hot brother of yours' little minion."
"Sessho-Maru *and* Naraku?" Inu-Yasha asked incredulously.
"'Snot all." Kagome said quietly. "I thought it was an illusion at first, but I see hair."
"Another Yura?" asked Mimi.
"Not another, the Yura." Kagome corrected.
"But we killed her!" Inu-Yasha reminded Kagome.
"Listen, I don't know how, but these are the exact patterns Yura used. This is definitely her work. Which means..."
"She's back?" Shelly asked, popping up. Cara, Miroku, and Sango were with her.
"I've always wanted to try a hand at your style of fighting, Inu-Yasha." Cara said with an evil glint in her eyes. A wasp flew at a dangerously amazing pace towards Mimi. She gave it a single look before her eyes glowed bright red and the bug dissolved with a shriek in mid-air.
"Let the games begin." She said, turning her attention back to the others, her eyes paling back to her natural color.
End chapter four.
Mimi, you're next. I figure you can start the big battle off, then Shelly can continue it, and I can either extend or end that part, depending on what you all do with it. And to our readers, be prepared fro some scary twists, curves, and new challenges in the near future! Please review!!!
Inu-Yasha and crew, followed by their three new companions, Cara, Shelly, and Mimi are now starting their first adventure together.

"You two look so cute!" She said honestly.
"Shut up!" Kagome muttered at the same time as Inu-Yasha began to say "Why you..."
"Hurry, Mimi! Blink!" And so Mimi blinked. Everyone stood still.
"Maybe if we all blinked...?" Shelly suggested. Everyone groaned.
"That was a stupid suggestion, Shelly. It won't work." Sango said.
"It's worth a try." Shelly said quietly. Everyone rolled their eyes.
"One..." Mimi said, as she tucked a strand of black hair with a red tip behind her ear.
