Crayon? I see no crayon marks.
KURAMA: It's right there, plain as day. That's crayon, my friend.
I'm your friend? Cool.
KURAMA: Oh, God no, that's not what I meant, I—
You love me, don't you? ::starry eyes::
KURAMA: Not even in your dreams.
::holds up boxers:: Can I keep these, then?
KURAMA: Tell me where you got those and you shall leave this unscathed.
[Disclaimer: I told you never to mention this again.]
"Are we there yet?"
"Yumi, if you say that one more time, I'll make you walk the rest of the way there."
"Mommy, if I'm gonna be threatened by that, I have to know how much farther it is. Are we there yet?" Inuyasha stopped, took Yumi off his shoulders, handed her to Kagome, walked a short distance off the side of the path, and began to repeatedly bang his head into a tree.
Bonk.
Bonk.
Bonk.
He slowly turned around, walked back onto the path, took Yumi from her mother's arms, and put her back on his shoulders. Rin and Kagome just stood there, watching him.
"Inuyasha, are you okay?" she asked softly. He nodded. Yumi started to say something again, but Inuyasha reached up and put his hand over her mouth. Rin giggled at the look on Yumi's face as they continued walking.

"Mom?" Souta edged into the room. Mrs. Higurashi had stopped crying, but she was still sitting on the couch moping.
"Are you okay, Mom?" he asked again. "Kagome's not coming back this time, is she?" She shook her head.
"And there's no way to get her back. We can't go through the well. Nobody can go through he well anymore, except for Inuyasha, Kagome, and Yumi." Souta sat down.
"Do you disown her this time? Or is it the opposite?"
"I think it's the opposite, Souta. Do you miss her since she's gone so much?"
"Of course."
"Do you want her to come back?"
"No way, Mom. She has a family to take care of, and friends. She has a life there. She doesn't have a life here. She didn't finish school—she's smart enough, so it doesn't matter—and her friends probably think she's dead by now."
"Actually, they think she's in an undisclosed mental facility."
"Yeah, that's right. My friends at school who have brothers and sisters Kagome's age talk about her like I can't even hear. They think she's psycho. They think I'm psycho."
"I thought you said they thought she was dead."
"Kagome's friends think she's dead. Their brothers and sisters that are my age know better because I give them updates."
"Oh. Go on."
"Uh...that's it. But you should cheer up and let her live her own life."

What with the non-hurry of the trip, the four travelers stopped for the night in a clearing not far from the road through the woods. When Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Shippou were traveling together, they had talked about the matter at hand. There was no matter to talk about here, so Rin and Yumi forced Kagome and Inuyasha to recount stories from their travels. They started at the beginning.
"And then she missed the shot. I thought she was a good archer, and she is now, but she was awful when we first met."
"Of course, when I finally did hit the crow, it made the Shikon Jewel burst into a million pieces."
"That was the beginning. The next thing we knew, we were on the road together after jewel shards."
"Then we found Shippou..."
The night dragged on in such a manner until Yumi fell asleep. Kagome fell asleep next. Rin yawned a good-night to Inuyasha, who put his arm around Kagome and looked up at the night sky through the foliage above before he fell asleep.

The morning dawned gloriously as the group woke up and went on their way. They soon exited the forest and started walking across a giant hilly meadow. Inuyasha sniffed and cringed.
"Why does it still smell like blood here? Surely everything would be gone after six years."
"What do you mean, Inuyasha?" asked Kagome, looking around.
"This is the same field we found six years ago that had the big battle scene in it. It still smells like blood. I wonder if the dragon's still up on the hill."
"Dragon?" said Rin. "What dragon?"
"We found this huge mangled dragon up on top of one of these hills when we were traveling. Why?"
"Sesshoumaru, Jaken, and I were traveling and we got attacked. The humans killed Ah and Un, the two-headed dragon. Then Sesshoumaru slaughtered all the humans because they nearly killed me as well." Inuyasha shrugged.
"Go figure."
[A/N: Well that solves the mystery of the dead dragon from the last story. Whee. Three chapters up in such a short time. YOU ARE A LUCKY READER. Review.
KURAMA: Yes, lucky enough to not be stuck here with you.
You have to come down some time.
KURAMA: Not necessarily.
Oh, I think so.
KURAMA: Why?
Because, strong though your Rose Whip may be, it is no match for the...wait for it...Fan Blades of Death!! ::turns on fan::
KURAMA: Oh crap.
::Kurama falls from ceiling fan::
Ha.
KURAMA: Fine then. Where's another hiding place? The ceiling was just FINE until you turned on the fan.
You didn't have to hide up there.
KURAMA: Where else was there?!
Exactly.
