Kireishi: mai bday's today!! well..i guess it depends on if today is STILL the 21st..

Akina: Yep! HAPPY B-DAY KIREISHI! paper and stuff falls from above glares at you Say Happy Birthday to Kireishi...fire surrounds her while she gives you evil death glare or else.... cherry and sugar high again Now on to the chapter!!!

As they slowly walked up to the ferry, they glanced at the other group aside from their own suspiciously. They could clearly sense the demonic auras lingering in the air, making each group get on their guard.

"'Ello, again. These 'ere people must be yur frends." The ferry drive said, speaking to Kagome.

"Yep!" Kagome said.

"That will be 1000 yen each fer all a' you." The driver said grinning.

"Here you go..." Kagome said while handing him the money and motioning to her friends to follow her onto the ferry.

"'Ello..." The ferry driver said redirecting his attention to the other group of mismatched people.

"Oh, hello! We have some tickets for this ferry! We'll be going to Nenshou no Akki, if you will." Boton said.

"Hmm..never when I've been this ferry driver have I met people so willing to go on that there island!You sure you'd want to be goin' there? That island is haunted according to the folk 'round 'ere! No one ever comes out. So I advise ya ta think this through." They ferry driver warned.

They looked to one another and nodded. Boton handed the captain the tickets and they each stepped aboard. In the corner of their eyes they stared at the other group. It were as if they were dressed up to go to a festival. Other than the girl who was talking to the captain few seconds ago, kimonos or other olden clothing were worn.

On the waist of the young man wearing the red outfit, a sword within a sheath was dangling by his side. By the texture and worn look of the sheath, it was obviously used frequently. If he were to have another sword by his side, along with armor, he would've looked like a true samurai. His face was set to a frown and he looked at everything suspiciously, as if the boat would sink any minute.

Next to the young man was what looked to be another young man in the robes of a priest. But unlike most priests, his head was not shaved. on his right hand was a string of beads wrapped around cloth. In his left hand, he held a staff with six rings. Earrings were on his ears and a smirk on his lips.

The girl in front of them was wearing a traditional every day kimono. Around her shoulders was a green bag. Strapped across her back was a huge boomerang. It was a wonder that she did not fall back from the added weight. On her shoulder sat a small cat that was giving out a string of demonic energy. It looked harmless enough, though they learned to never judge things based on appearances.

Next to the maiden was another girl. She looked more modern as she was not wearing a kimono. A short green and white school uniform was what she wore. Her mid back hair swaying in the wind. In her arms was what looked to be a child, though they could sense demonic energy in his aura. His little hands grasped that of the girl's uniform as she looked out to the ocean. he wore a baggy hakama and a vest over his haori. A string of pouches wrapped around his small waist.

The group seemed very odd, though they had no right to say this for their own group was more than a little.."odd". As they finished their examination of their new shipmates, they wondered how the demons in thei group were loose in the human world without their knowing. Did they escape from makai? Are they the ones who are to blame for the disappearances? But then.. why are they going to the island? Should they not be on it already? All these questions, but they would find them out. Each and everyone of them...

-----------------Kagome's POV------------------

I felt someone watching me and so I looked to Inuyasha for conformation. But he was engrossed in looking to the other side of the ferry. I followed his line of sight to what seemed to be a group of teenagers. Imediately I knew something felt wrong in the air as I looked to them.

'So thats who was watching me..or were they watching all of us? Who could they be? Could they know about the shard of the shikon jewel?'

They each seemed to be powerful (Akina: Everyone except Kuwabara) in their own right, or just acted that way. By the feel of it, the guy in green was the most powerful (Kireishi: I hope you were not being biased when you said that -.- Akina: Yusuke....oh my wonderful Yusuke....drool drool)

'We need to be on guard.. We don't know if they're after the jewel.' I looked to Sango as she looked to me and a silent message passed through our eyes.

'We need to be careful!' Was what stimultaeously passed through our minds.

-----------------------Regular POV----------------------------

While the groups watched each other from the corner of their eye, they didnt notice how it gradually got foggy. It wasnt until the ferry hit a muddy shore, did they took notice of their surroundings. As the ferry came to a bumpy stop, they could finally feel the chill of the air and the rhythmic splash of the waves hitting against the boat.

"We're here." The ferry driver whispered, as if trying to keep his voice quiet enough not to draw unwanted attention..what ever that was.. The two groups then walked off the ferry and was about to walk away when-

"Are you sure you want to stay? Would anyone want to go back? I don't know when I'll come nack for you..." The ferry driver said.

"Well.." said Kuwabara as he walk twards the ferry "if you really-"

"Oh, We'll be fine!" Botan said as he grabbed him by the collar before he could stop onto the boat.

"Us too! Everything will be okay!" Kagome said cheerfully, but not to loud as to disturb the sudden silence.

"Okay...but the only time I will be back is when another person wants to visit...I don't know when that'll be. Take care!" The ferry driver said as he rode off.

As soon as the ferry driver was out of sight, each group glared at the other.

"We know you're demon! Now why the fuck are you here?!" Yusuke yelled/asked.

"Feh, we should be asking you! Are you here to get the jewel shard?!" Inuyasha yelled back.

"Hell no! I don't even know what the hell you're talking about! How'd you escape from makai anyways?! And what's with the disappearances?!"

"What disappearances? Makai?" Inuyasha was now both equally confused and angry.

'Sigh..Yusuke..ever the brash one' "It would seem that we each have different purposes for being here. But if you don't know about Makai, then have you been hiding in Ningenkai?" Kurama asked.

"Nngenkai? No they aren't from here, or this time." Kagome said. The YYH group looked confused except Hiei who, like always, kept his emotions and inner turmoil hidden from view.

"What do you mean 'different time?'" Kurama asked adding a bit of charm in his voice to prod it out of the young woman.

But Kagome..being Kagome.. "Well...it all happened when-" but she was interrupted by Inuyasha.

"Kagome! Don't tell them!" Inuyasha scolded.

"Yes Kagome-chan, they might be just acting innocent."Sango said, while Kirara hissed at them.

"Hn, stupid ningen woman. Why would we act innocent if you are no use to us." Hiei said while taking out his katana "We should kill you right now."

"Oh.. let me see you try, midget." Sango said while holding her boomerang. Hiei was about to attack for an 'inferior' ningen, a woman even!, calling him a midget, when Kurama held him back.

"Hiei..."Kurama said in a wanrning kind of tone.

"We should just talk this out, there is no need for violence," Miroku said, while walking over to Botan "Especial in the presence of a beautiful lady."

"That's nice of you to say that..." Botan said while blushing. Miroku then grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes.

"Will you bear my child?" He asked her.

"WHAAAAAT?!" Botan screamed, disturbing the already broken peace, then started to repeatedly smack him in the face.

"I didn't know Botan could be so violent..." Kuwabara whispered to Yusuke in fear of said reaper hearing him, while Yusuke nodded and gulped silently. Making a mental note not to piss Botan off...

"MIROKU! -turning her attention twards Botan- I'm so sorry!" Kagome said while bowing continuously to Boton in appology.

"Poor, poor, Miroku. He got what he deserved though." Shippo said while shaking his head, now in the safely of Sango's arms for the fact that both his other "protectors" were busy.
