Disclaimer: Guess what... I STILL DON'T OWN INU YASHA! *gasp!* SHOCK SHOCK! SURPRISE SURPRISE!

Last Time: "Yes and you know he's right. He could have left you for dead. Just do as he says an I will come with you." she said in a serious tone. Angie widened her eyes at her sisters words but with a pouting lip she followed Sesshomaru with Angel close behind. '...what am I going to do now?' Sesshomaru thought.

****

The trio floated gracefully down from the bewitched mountian. Jaken was struggling to climb the massive pile of rubble and rock when his master flew overhead. The small toad-like demon gawked up horrified at the sight he saw before him. They were with him. The legendary dragon tamers were hovering alongside him. Not like equals though... like...like servants. One was being carried by the other while she rubbed her head like she had the worst headache known to man and demon alike.

"Wait for me mi-lord!" The little demon cried and hopped after him. The tai- youkai and the two hanyous landed gingerly upon the soft green grass. Angie's arms were crossed in displeasure and Angel was put her down and stood beside her in a comforting way. You wouldn't have thought they were sisters at all. One looked like she came from the heavens above while the other looked like she came from the deepest, darkest caves in hell. But they were both knockouts none-the-less. They had the same face shape and they were both pale whether it was from the loss of Angie's blood or the shock from seeing her sister slaughtered then reborn. Both situations would have made one's blood curdle. 'Well what do we do now? Angie doesn't want to hand over her shards and I don't want to kill her... again. I would loose yet another servant.' Sesshomaru thought as Jaken bounced down from a high rock above. '...oh so he's still alive. I thought he would have been killed by now the little maggot...'

"Angie. How many shards do you possess?" Sesshomaru asked emotionlessly. Angie didn't want to answer and turned away from him and stared at the ground. Angel answered for her stubborn sister.

"She has about 17. I'm surprised you took her out. But she never does use the jewel's powers. She doesn't like to. The only other person I know of that has that many shards is a woman named Lady Ami Akitsu. She is a noble youkai like yourself Sir. But I have no idea where she could be."

Sesshomaru pondered about this remark for a bit and then concluded that he must find this...Lady Ami. He looked down at the small demon beside his leg. He narrowed his eyes at him angrily as he cowered in fear of the hanyous. Having enough of this, Sesshomaru kicked the useless toad and asked if he had any information on the where-abouts of Lady Ami.

"Yes mi-lord. She is a definate force to be reconned with. She is a Tigeress Youkai... and one with much power. She looks like a defensless little girl until you get close enough. But usually by that time it's to late." he stuttered out still eyeing the hanyous suspiciously.

"Yes well where is she? We need to know or I will have one less servant to deal with." Sesshomaru stated looking at Angie. Angie stuck her tongue out at him and looked away.

***The Campsite***

Though it was early afternoon, everyone was still fast asleep from such a long night. Kagome was draped over Inu Yasha's lap snuggly and he was against a tree. Shippo was cuddling with Kirara who was nestled beside Sango. Miroku and Rici were snug together and sleeping soundly. They were all dead tired, especially Rici and Inu Yasha who stayed up late chatting about random things. The first sign of life was quite amusing.

**... six hours ago...**

Rici yawned and rolled over in her sleep. It wasn't such a good idea seeing as how she was on quite a narrow branch. She fell a good 15 feet into Miroku's lap who woke up with a gasp. Rici surprisingly hadn't woken from the fall and was quite comfortable where she was.
Miroku's eyes squinted in the small light that was smoldering where the blazing fire once was. He wanted to know what the hell had dropped into his lap. He reached for his staff, ready to strike it if it made any wrong moves. Whatever it was, it was big and stretched all the way from his chest to a little past his legs. It began to wrap around his chest and he continued to squint in the dull light. Since he couldn't see if it was a friend or foe so he hit it with his staff. It squealed and sat up. Rici blinked her eyes lazily and didn't realise what was going on. She then layed back down wrapping her arms around Miroku's chest and adjusted her legs. It was an awkward position but being the perverted monk he was, Miroku smirked and got comfortable without waking Rici up.

**... end flashback...**

Inu Yasha was just the first up. He saw Kagome and stayed still, not wanting to wake her up. He looked up at the branch Rici was on before to see if she was awake but didn't see her. He looked around the campsite and grinned evily when he saw Miroku and Rici snuggling in an inappropriate position. He couldn't help but snicker which rocked Kagome's head back and forth waking her up. She blinked her big brown eyes sleepily and glanced up at Inu Yasha. She saw his grin and she narrowed her eyes because she thought he was laughing at her. She sat up and crossed her arms angrily, still giving Inu Yasha a death glare. Inu Yasha looked away from the odd couple and at Kagome's pouting face.

"What? Can't I laugh when I see something funny?" Inu Yasha whispered.

"Am I THAT funny looking to you?!" Kagome shot back.

"You? What are you talking about? Look over there duh..." he said and pointed to Miroku and Rici. Kagome turned around and looked at the couple caressing eachother in their sleep.

"Oh GODS! Hold on Inu Yasha... where's my back pack?"

"Over there... why?" Inu Yasha asked. Kagome crawled over to her backpack and pulled out a rectangular object.

"I knew this would come in handy..." Kagome said and crept over the the pair. On her way she bumped Sango waking her up. "Look over there!" Kagome mouthed without making a sound. Sango looked over her shoulder and put her face in her arms. She couldn't help but laugh histerically but didn't want to wake them. She sat up with tears in her eyes, from laughing so hard, and watched Kagome as she crept closer. Kagome unfolded the box and pointed it at the sleeping couple. There was a flash and then two more. "HAHA! Now this will be in our memories forever!" she shouted and danced around proudly. Rici and Miroku jumped and looked at eachother.

"GAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! *slap slap* HENTAI!" Rici shouted and sat straight up pinning Miroku.

"Well excuse me but may I remind you that you were the one on top of me?" Miroku spoke rubbing the red hot hand prints on his cheeks.

"Wha...what ...I... huh? How in the hell did I get in your lap?!"

"You fell on my stomach at about four in the morning. I didn't feel like waking you." Miroku said innocently and placed his hands at his sides. Rici was pinning his shoulders down and her knees were digging into his thighs. "Mind getting off?" Miroku asked and winced a little rubbing his legs. Rici turned scarlet and sat up releasing Miroku's shoulders. He began to sat up but then slumped back down leaning on his elbows. "All the way Rici." He said cocking an eyebrow. A lump formed in her throat and she scootched off of his lap. She was turning redder and redder by the second. The hot heat of embarassment swept down her neck and then turned ice cold giving her the chills. She tried to conseal her red cheaks, but couldn't. So at the last minute, she blurted out an excuse.

"It was only a matter of time before I fell out of that tree... do it all the time you know... I should have used a different branch...!"... '...yeah a higher one so when I would fall I'd break my neck instead of this humility...!' she thought and took a deep breath. She always runs out of breath when she's embarassed...especially when she tries to cover it up. Miroku kept his position and looked over at the other campers who were tearing up from holding in their feelings.

"It's fine go ahead...." Miroku said and the team began to laugh harder then they ever had. Kagome toppled over onto Inu Yasha who fell back and hit the tree. Sango laughed so hard she hit Shippo who jumped up from a long sleep.

"Hey guys...what's with all the laughing?" He said and rubbed his sleepy eyes. Everyone stopped laughing and looked at Shippo in disbelief. '...he missed the whole thing?!' they all thought at the same time. Then they broke out laughing again. Shippo began to laugh even though he had no idea what the hell was happening. Even Miroku and Rici began to giggle a little. After a while the laughing died down. But that was only because their faces hurt from smiling so much and their sides hurt from laughing so hard. They began to clean up the campsite, every once and a while there was a small snicker from remembering the little mishap.

***Sesshomaru 'n' Company***

Jaken had given information on Lady Ami and they were to seek her out. They only had today and tomorrow to save Rin. If they didn't find her by that time, Rin would probably be to mauled for even Sesshomaru to fix with the Tensaiga.

"Sesshomaru. Why do you need me? You already have a twirp. You don't need another servant. Just leave us alone and kill Ami." Angie said annoyed. It was the first thing she said to Sesshomaru since threatening him at the palace.

"Because unfortunatly for you... if we fail to find Lady Akitsu... you shall take her place. And I'm not keeping your sister here... she's staying on her own. She may leave any time she wants." Sesshomaru said coldly. There was something about her determination that intrigued him.

"Didn't you figure out by now that where ever I go she goes and vice-versa? We're a package deal here." Angie shot out and touched her temple. A heat wave of pain swept over her and she put her fingers down. She couldn't even lift herself up let alone throw Sesshomaru.

"I told you not to try anything. You're just hurting yourself. Just stop and follow and you won't be harmed."

"Yeah... until you kill me that is." Angie pouted and crossed her arms. Sesshomaru turned around and grasped Angie's throat. He pulled her up to his height and got mearly inches from her face.

"Listen wench... I could have left you to die back there and took your shards. It's not to hard to do that. Now unless you plan on helping and hold your tongue, I could do that over again. Now shut up." He said trying to keep his face as emotionless as possible threw clenched teeth. His anger was rising and he tried to stop it. He let go of her throat, making fall with a small thud to the ground. They stared at eachother clenching fists and it appeared as though they were about to kill eachother. But before that could happen, Sesshomaru turned and began to walk to his destination.... Lady Ami Akitsu.

NOW CHOOSE:
