Me: No big intro to day. Oh and small fry Kouga will show up in this story but later on.
Inu Yasha: Oh and she doesn't own IY! But Kumiko and Nereida are hers.
Me: On with the chappy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They met up with Sesshoumaru, he only teamed up with them because right after Kumiko had met Rin she got kidnapped and Sesshoumaru needed their… assistance… to find her, on the way to Sango's village to fix her boomerang.
"Remember I'm only here because you can…help…save Rin." He reminded them.
"Who's he?" Nereida whispered to Kumiko. Kumiko rolled her eyes.
"You should know him." She answered.
"Are you telling that arrogant ass is my dad?"
"Feh, you don't even know your own father." Kumiko said and crossed her arms.
"Oi what are you talking about back there?" Inu Yasha yelled at them. Kumiko's anger flared up again. She hated Inu Yasha's 'I have to know everything' attitude.
"Nothing." She hollered right back. It was Inu Yasha's turn to get mad.
"Then stop talking."
"I'll talk if I damn well feel like it." She yelled.
"I think you met your match in the arguing department, Inu Yasha." Kagome laughed.
"I agree and Kumiko's never lost an argument before." Nereida agreed. Everyone but Sesshoumaru laughed at that.
Pathetic humans. Always arguing. he thought. It wasn't long before the group decided to stop for lunch. Inu Yasha started to complain that they should keep going, while Sesshoumaru sat a ways off. Sango and Kagome started the food while Nereida and Kumiko decided to practice. Before they had headed to the pass, they had been learning some martial arts from Kagome who had learned some from Souta who was taking classes.
"Not so hard." Nereida said as she rubbed her jaw from a punch that Kumiko had hit her with. Kumiko just crack her knuckles.
"You're just a weakling."
"Sorry but not all of us have the perfect blend of human, youkai and miko blood running through our veins." Nereida said sarcastically. The side Kumiko's foot connected with the underside of Nereida's chin and sent her flying.
"Don't say that out loud. I swear Nereida; if you blow our cover I'll personally kick your ass before I rip you to pieces." She threatened as she brought her leg down. Nereida rubbed her chin.
"Ok, Ok I won't say anything like that again and I think you broke my jaw." Nereida complain. Shippo had been watching the whole thing.
"Where'd you learn to fight like that?" He asked as he jumped to Kumiko's shoulder.
"My mom taught me." Kumiko said. It wasn't a lie. Shippo was amazed.
"Wow that is so cool. I wish my mom was around long enough to teach me things." Shippo said sadly.
"Tell ya what after we get the whole Rin thing done I'll teach you a few moves." Kumiko promised.
"Promise?"
"Promise now go and see if lunch is ready." Kumiko said and Shippo ran off.
"Do you think it was a good idea to make that promise, don't forget we're only going to be here for a few months." Nereida asked as she leaned against a tree. Kumiko sat beside her.
"Sure why not. I mean it is not going to take long for us to save Rin. And besides you know to the old Miko a few months could mean a few years." Kumiko said as she stretched out on the grass. "Man I love living here. I mean I don't mind visiting Obaa-san but mom's time is so…"
"Strange?" Nereida suggested. She loved hearing about the other time since she couldn't go there herself.
"Yeah." Kumiko said. Just then Shippo came back and told them lunch was ready. The two girls went over where Kagome had set out the food. Sesshoumaru refused to eat with them or to eat period. Nereida gladly accepted her food. Kumiko shook her head.
"I'm not really hungry." She said. It was true, Kumiko rarely ate 3 meals a day she normally only ate 1. Kagome gave her funny look.
"Don't worry Kagome, Kumiko really doesn't eat much; the most she eats is maybe one meal a day." Nereida said while eating. Nereida on the other hand was always happy to eat anything.
"Is that good for someone?" Miroku asked Kagome.
"Not really. Normally that is a sign of an eating disorder but Kumiko seems to be fine. Maybe she'll have something to eat at supper." Kagome answered. Miroku looked over at Kumiko who was stretched out on the grass. He had a funny feeling that she wasn't telling them everything about her.
"Can we leave now? Sango needs to get her boomerang fixed then we have to…assist…him," Inu Yasha and pointed to his brother, "Save Rin." Sango handed Kagome her bowl to put back in her backpack.
"I'm done." Miroku and Nereida also handed Kagome their bowls.
"We're done too." They said. Kumiko stood up and lifted up her pack. There wasn't really anything in it but her Haori, Hikama, a few hair ribbons, some ramen, certain hygiene items, the crystal ball, and a picture of her family.
"Hai Inu Yasha we can go now." Kagome said as she tied her bag to the back of her bike. Everyone resumed the walk to Sango's village. Shippo stayed on Kumiko's shoulder the whole time talking to her and Nereida.
"Did it hurt when she kicked you, Nereida?" Shippo asked. Nereida rubbed her bruised jaw and chin.
"Hai, it hurt a lot. Kumiko you really shouldn't kick that hard. Next time you might break my jaw."
"Good then I won't have to listen to you talk so much." Kumiko teased. Nereida stuck her tongue out at Kumiko. Kumiko just pushed her over. "So shut up already."
"You shouldn't be talking. You never shut up." Nereida countered as she got up. Sesshoumaru had had enough of their petty fighting.
"Shut up the both of you."
"STAY OUT OF IT!" They both yelled at him. Sesshoumaru was slightly shocked no one had ever yelled at him before. Everyone fell silent. No one had ever yelled at Sesshoumaru before let alone two human girls.
"You dare yell at me?" He said icily.
"Yeah I do." Kumiko retorted. God he's an ass. I think Mr. High and Mighty needs an ass kicking. she thought. Nereida knew that Kumiko had an edge over her pass father. With her miko blood, all of Kumiko's natural strengths were greatly heightened. So far no one had been able to match her in anything. The only person that was able to keep her in line was her mom, all she had to do was threaten to pin her to a tree for 50 years.
"Don't do it." Nereida whispered. She knew that Kumiko was thinking of kicking her dad's butt. "That would defiantly blow our cover."
"Fine take all my fun away." She pouted and walked on pass Sesshoumaru. Shippo was still perched on Kumiko's shoulder. He was just as amazed as everyone else that Kumiko would yell at Sesshoumaru like that.
"How much further, Sango?" Nereida asked as the group resumed their walk.
"It is just up ahead." Sango replied.
"Good." Sesshoumaru said icily. "I want to get away from you guys as soon as possible."
"Yeah it's not so nice having you around either." Kumiko mumbled. Shippo heard her.
"I wouldn't be saying things like that Kumiko." He whispered as he leaned against her head, not knowing he was right by her ears. To Kumiko it sounded like he just yelled in her ear and it was ringing slightly. She shook her head to try and get rid of it. Shippo was confused. "Why you shaking your head Kumiko?" He asked. Since he was still right beside her flattened ears the ringing got worse.
"No reason Shippo. I just got a small headache that's all." She lied. "Would you mind-"
"Oh I'll go ride with Miroku for a bit. Well at least until your headache is gone." Shippo interrupted and jumped over to Miroku. Nereida ran pass Sesshoumaru and over to where Kumiko was walking by herself. She was still shaking her head.
"What's wrong?" Nereida asked.
"I got an awful ringing in my ears." Kumiko answered as she continued to shake her head. She covered her ears and swallowed causing her ears to pop. "That's better."
"What was wrong?" Nereida wanted to know.
"It's just Shippo's loud talking caused my ears to start ringing." Kumiko answered.
"We're here." Sango suddenly said as they rounded a high fence hidden by the forest. Kumiko looked around the dilapidated village. Her over sensitive nose picked up on the scents of the youkais that had long since destroyed it.
"What happened here?" Nereida asked quietly.
"We were attacked by a group of youkais a long time ago." Sango answered.
"Oh." Nereida said quietly. Kumiko went over and elbowed her.
"Just use your nose next time." She whispered.
"But I had a slight cold and my nose is still slightly blocked u." Nereida told her.
"Oh, you mean that cold that you had last week that had you in bed whining and complaining all week. And it drove everyone nuts." Kumiko said.
"Shut up." Nereida hissed. She took a fighting stance.
"So ya wanna fight? My pleasure." Kumiko grinned wickedly and cracked her knuckles. "It's your funeral."
"Stop fighting you two." Miroku said. Kumiko and Nereida gave each other death glares.
Now that is familiar Both Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru thought at the same time. Kumiko and Nereida got along about as well as Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru did at their age.
Inu Yasha: Oh and she doesn't own IY! But Kumiko and Nereida are hers.
