In which I finally begin to put some plot possibilities in the story or: In
which Starhopper gets far enough away from Jaken to allow something
interesting to finally start happening
[I love titles like that!]
Hmmm...considered buying a Jaken plushie the other day...who WOULD want to own him?

"My wilted Lettuce Leaf!!! Wait!"

Starhopper leapt away from that voice like her life depended on it. Which, in her mind, it probably did. Once more moment in the presence of that repulsive, horrid toad and she didn't think she'd be able to control the demon locked away deep inside of her. [A/N: Sorry Starhopper! But as of now, you have a demon! I know this is news to you, but...-shrugs] Even though she was pushing her whole self into escaping from that green squawk- box, his voice wasn't fading into the foliage as quickly as she'd hoped. Rather, his voice seemed to be getting steadily closer. Perhaps all his years of chasing the mischievous Rin had finally paid off.
"Oh my sweet pickle, come back! You have a lump on your head the size of a rotten melon! Don't...run...off...and leave...me!"
The celestial frog redoubled her efforts, pushing past the increasingly hard-to-ignore pounding of her head. All but flying, she shot past miles of trees faster than a pickup line, finally putting some real distance between herself and Jaken. And speaking of pickup lines, who was that up ahead in that clearing...?
. . . [A/N: Let's have some fun now, shall we?]
Starhopper slowed down to investigate and to prevent becoming frog road-kill smashed against one of the massive trees that was filling the becoming darker forest. Glancing around nervously, she realized she had no idea where she was...and the only light source was a dim glow from the rooftops of the trees. Not a single clear ray of light could penetrate through the thick foliage; rather, a ghostly sheen danced down from the heavens, barely creating enough light to see by. But further on...! Aha! Light and a break from these increasingly depressing trees was waiting for her! Starhopper headed for the clearing, hoping to kill the chill of claustrophobia that was beginning to creep over her.
Apparently, she wasn't the only one with that idea. There was a group of people resting in the refuge of sunlight that illuminated one small piece of the forest. Getting closer, she recognized the relaxed group; in particular, one purple-robed houshi...
"Miroku-sama!" Starhopper cheered, then leapt into the clearing in front of the surprised monk. Beaming up into his handsomely startled visage, she waited for his smile of recognition. His smile was closely followed with the opening of his arms, which Starhopper quickly took advantage of, flinging herself at him for a glomping hug. The rest of the group took longer to recover from her sudden appearance; Kagome and Shippo were wearing identical looks of their normal confusion. Sango's surprise seemed tinged with hints of suspicion and...was that jealousy? Inuyasha didn't look too surprised, but this was probably due to the fact that he was angrily resting in a two-foot hanyou-shaped trench- courtesy of Kagome's temper and his own renegade mouth. Kirara coolly watched Starhopper from her peripheral vision; Starhopper paused for a moment from her joyful greeting to the monk to glare at the fire-cat.
A bolt of electrical hatred passed between the two rivals.
"Ano..." Miroku tried to diffuse the situation, in part because he happened to be holding the receiver of one end of the glare. "So, Starhopper-sama, what brings you into my arms this time?"

^_~ Huggles for Starhopper! Are you blushing yet? And I've got plans for Kirara, being a big fan of hers myself...or am I her? I forget. Is she one of my personalities or just one of my aliases?
