Author's Note-Well, here's the new chapter. We don't own Inuyasha yet, and
I'm too tired to say something funny. But we'll find the Shikon shards,
don't. . .worry. . . *falls asleep*
** Two hours and a mile or so of walking, later **
"Are we there yeeeeeeet??" Kouten whined, now seated on top of Inuyasha's shoulders. Inuyasha sweatdropped.
"You should know, it's your house!" He grumbled. Kouten tweaked his ears.
"It's actually my family's house, dummy!" She grinned, then winked at Shippou who was perched on Amanda's head. Shippou sweatdropped and half- grinned back, then turned away and gagged. Amanda twitched.
"Don't you throw up on me!" she yelled. Shippou grinned.
"Why not? You're hair could use some more vitamins!" He said. Amanda twitched again, then ripped the Kitsune off of her by his tail and threw him some where behind her. Kisike just happened to be walking there, and she fell backwards when she was knocked in the face with a flying fox. She and Shippou fell back to the ground with swirly eyes.
"Eh. . ." Kisike sighed and sat up. Shippou jumped to sit on her head.
"Let's goooo!" He grinned, pulling on her ears. Kisike sweatdropped and sighed again.
"Alright. . .Alright. . .ALRIGHT!! STOP WITH THE YANKIN'!!!" Kisike yelled. Shippou nearly fell off of her. He sweatdropped and let go of her ears. Kisike huffed and started walking with the group again. After another uneventful hour of walking, they came upon a big stone temple. It resembled a shrine, but everything was made of stone. Amanda sweatdropped.
"I'd hate to see how cold this place gets in the winter." She mumbled. Kouten grinned.
"That's too bad, my brothers are probably here somewhere. /I'D/ hate to see you guys when it's winter here." She said, matter-of-factly. Inuyasha sweatdropped.
"Why'd you bring us here when there are enemies of ours here?!" He demanded. Kouten shrugged and hopped to the ground.
"Because I need you guys to get my flute back!" She said. Raylin tilted her head to the side.
"You COULD just have Gabriel cover the plains er whatever with snow, then have Akio melt it all. . ." She said. Kouten pouted.
" I still need my flute. . ." She whined. "You'll help me, won't you, Shippou-Chan?" She asked with shiny eyes. Shippou sweatdropped.
"Uhhh. . ." He started. Kouten's eyes filled with tears and she made a high-pitched whiney noise. Shippou started and sweatdropped again. "Uhm. . . I guess. . ." he said. Kouten squealed, then leapt up and tackled Shippou off of Kisike's head. She smiled and hugged him.
"Thank you, Shippou-kun!!" She cried, nearly choking him. Shippou flushed and coughed. Inuyasha, Bridget, Raylin, Amanda, Miroku, and Kisike exchanged glances, then promptly fell over, laughing. Shippou glared at them.
"Shut-up!" He yelled. Kouten let go of Shippou, and whipped around to glare daggers at the others.
"Don't you make fun of my Shippou-Chan!" She hollered. No one seemed to hear her though, as they kept laughing. Kouten's eyes turned red, but only Bridget and Amanda noticed and stopped laughing. Miroku, Kisike and Inuyasha stopped next, but Raylin kept laughing her head off. Kouten walked up to Raylin, eyes glowing even brighter. "You. . .you. . .you!" Kouten stuttered, then burst out into tears. She hiccupped, then buried her face in her hands and ran off. Kisike and Amanda blinked after her while Shippou and Bridget glared at Raylin, who was trying to catch her breath.
"You're so insensitive!" Shippou yelled, glancing worriedly after Kouten, who'd run into one of the stone temples.
"Think you could've hurt her feelings anymore?" Amanda asked. Raylin snorted and sat up, crossing her arms over her chest.
"The kid needs to get over herself." She said. Kisike sweatdropped.
"She's not the only one." Kisike muttered. Raylin sweatdropped.
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" She yelled. Kisike scooted back and sweatdropped.
"Nothin'!" She cringed, hiding behind Inuyasha's hair.
"Where Kouten go to. . .?" Shippou wondered out loud. Everyone got to their feet and looked around. "I know she went into a one of those temples. . .but that's it." Shippou said. Miroku looked toward the last building in the row.
"I think she went in that one. . ." He said. Kisike sweatdropped.
"Sensing another ominous black cloud, monk?" She asked, starting towards the stone temples.
"No. . ." Miroku sweatdropped and -.-'d.
"Ahhh! Stop chasing meee!" they heard Kouten yell. They saw her running out of one of the temples and into the little front yard they were standing in, clutching a Stitch plushie.
"Come back with my Stitch plushie!" Gabriel yelled, following. He stopped when he saw Kouten run behind Shippou and the others. "You. . ." he muttered. He looked down at Kouten. "Kouten. . .Kouten! Come out of hiding right now." He ordered.
"Gabri!" Kisike squealed, glomping Gabriel.
"What are you doing?! He's our enemy!" Inuyasha yelled.
"She must be under some sort of spell!" Miroku said.
"Nooo. . .this is Gabri. He's my boyfriend back in my world!" Kisike said, grinning.
Gabriel sweatdropped. "Um. . .hi?"
Raylin raised an eyebrow. "You're a real worlder?"
"Well, actually, I'm originally a part of this world, but I kinda got stuck in your world. I live in Canada." He said.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "Cana. . .what?"
"Can what?" Shippou asked.
"No. Canada. It's a territory. Across the ocean. Discovered by France." Raylin said.
"Who's France?" Shippou asked.
Gabriel sighed. "Don't bother trying to explain. I already tried explaining it to my siblings. They didn't get it."
"Gabriel won't tell me who France is. I've been wanting to meet him for a long, long time, but he keeps saying it's not a person. But what else could it be?" Kouten asked.
"Maybe it's a brick! Or maybe it's a walrus in a top hat! But no! It's something better than all of those things combined! It's a muffin!" Kisike said.
". . .It's not a muffin." Gabriel said.
"Oh really? Okay then." She said.
"What's this?" Miroku asked, pointing to the Stitch plushie.
Gabriel sweatdropped, snatched the plushie out of Kouten's arms, and hid it behind his back. "Uh. . .um. . .it's my attack dog! With a built in force field!"
"And this is my dinosaur! Who eats force field dogs!" Raylin said, pointing to Inuyasha.
"-.- I'm not a dino. . .thing. . ." Inuyasha said.
". . .Fine! Then this is my dinosaur! Who eats force field dogs!" Raylin repeated, picking up Shippou.
"Hey, put him down!" Kouten cried, jumping up and down.
"I'm a fox, heathen! Besides, you don't expect me to eat that, do you?!" Shippou demanded.
"Bwahah." Raylin said.
"Hey, no! That's Gabri's!" Kisike said.
"He tried to KILL us. And now you're hugging him?!" Inuyasha demanded.
"Um. . ." Kisike hugged Gabriel again. "Yes!" She looked down a Gabriel's left arm. "Again, sorry about your arm. . ."
"Well, I still have it in the other world, so don't worry. . ." Gabriel said. He looked over at Raylin. "But YOU however. . .YOU are going to die."
". . .Oh shoot. . ." Raylin said. She frowned. "Hey, wait. Didn't I meet you over MSN once?"
"I'll bet it was when I found out something about you that I never would have found out if she wasn't there." Kisike said to Gabriel. She blinked. "Why is that? How come the only times I find out something new about you, somebody is there?"
"Um. . .I don't know. . ."
"I don't either." Kisike said. She blinked again. "Is this what you look like back in the other world?"
"Uh. . ."
"Oh well. I'm going to get to see you in a while anyway!" she said, grinning. "Cause I'm goin' to Canada! That, or we're all goin to hell! And I'm drivin the bus!"
"I. . .really don't think so. . ." Miroku said, taking a step back.
"Fear me. . ." Kisike said, laughing an Ayeka laugh.
"Um. . .Kisike? Why would you ask Gabriel what he looked like if he's your boyfriend? Haven't you ever met him in person before?" Amanda asked.
"No. . .I met him over MSN. Never seen him before." Kisike said, rubbing the back of her head.
"Uh. . .So what now. . .?" Gabriel asked.
"They came to help me get my flute back from Sekkai! Now put Shippou down!" Kouten said, still jumping up and down.
"No way." Raylin teased.
Shippou growled and bit her hand.
"OW! STUPID SQUIRREL!"
"I'm a fox!" Shippou yelled, turning into a pink balloon and chewing on her head.
". . .Yes, you've made that clear by now." Raylin said bluntly.
"Well. . .um. . .come on inside. There are, as you can see, four corridors to the temple. One is mine, one is Kouten's, one is Sekkai's, and the other is Akio's. The area in the middle is our parents' temple area." Gabriel said, walking into one of the corridors. The others followed.
"We're in Kouten's corridor right now. . ." he said. He turned into another corridor. "Okay, here's mine." He said. The corridor was a definite contrast to Kouten's. Instead of candles, it had. . .
"What is this?" Miroku questioned, staring at a light bulb.
"It's called a light bulb. We have them back in our world." Gabriel said.
"Yeah, they had this back in Kagome's world too." Inuyasha said.
"So, did you bring any other technology into this world? Like guns?" Raylin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No. Bringing guns into this world would cause too much destruction." Gabriel said.
"And that's a bad thing. . .?" Kisike asked.
"No. But my parents won't let me." He sighed.
"I'm hungry. . ." Kisike whined.
"You're ALWAYS hungry." Raylin sighed.
"I am not!" Kisike hollered.
"Well, you always say you are." Raylin shot back.
"Gabri! She's being mean to meee!" Kisike whined.
Gabriel glared over at Raylin. "Hey, I changed my mind about killing you. I won't do it. But don't make me UNCHANGE my mind."
"Unchange?" Raylin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Unchange." Gabriel confirmed.
"These thingies are strange. . ." Shippou said, jumping up to touch one of the light bulbs.
"Don't touch it! It's hot! Like. . .like. . .um. . .Akio's fire!" Kouten warned.
"I doubt anything could be as hot as his fire. I mean, come on, have you actually felt it?" Inuyasha stated.
"I LIVE with him. Sometimes. Don't think he's never gotten mad at me before. I think I would know." Kouten said. Shippou blinked at her.
". . .Does he like. . .whaaaaaat? I'm confused!" Shippou wailed, clutching his hair. Kouten smiled and patted Shippou on the back.
"It's okay, Shippou-Chan." She said. Shippou twitched and sweatdropped. Gabriel sweatdropped.
". . .The dining hall is this way. . ." He started, walking away from the group.
"Heeeeeeey! Wait for meeeeeeeeeee!" Kisike called, running after him. Amanda and Bridget sweatdropped. Inuyasha sighed and the group followed them down the corridor. About twenty minutes and three sets of stairs later, they came to large, gold-framed double doors.
"Oooo. . ." Shippou blinked, appalled at the really big doors!
"Those look familiar. . ." Bridget whispered to Kisike. Kisike blinked at her, and nodded slightly.
"Just a little." She said. Gabriel pushed open one of the doors and let everyone else through first before closing it back again. The four long tables arranged in four rows were deck with food of all sorts. Shippou, Amanda and Kisike blinked. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and did a double take. Raylin sweatdropped.
"Dear god." She muttered. Bridget shook her head.
"How much do you people eat here??" She asked. Gabriel raised an eyebrow.
"We were expecting you." He said. Bridget face-faulted.
"Do you know how creepy that sounds??" She said, watching Kisike, Shippou and Amanda grab plates and filled them up with food. Inuyasha slowly made his way to a large bowl of ramen. Miroku grinned and started to work his way around the tables. Kouten followed close behind Shippou, who was sweatdropping and looking over his shoulder every twenty seconds.
"Yup." Gabriel grinned, going over to one of the tables, the only one that wasn't fully over taken by numerous plates of food. He grabbed an already filled plate and sat down at one end of the table.
"Yay! Dumplings! They heard Shippou yell from somewhere. They couldn't see him at all. Kouten sat down at the table, next to Gabriel, and started on a big piece of red velvet cake that nearly fell off the side of the plate. She grinned at Gabriel and chewed on a piece of the cake. Gabriel sighed.
"MINE!" Kisike and Inuyasha yelled at the same time, Kisike was at the ramen bowl at the same time as Inuyasha, even though he'd already been walking towards it for about ten minutes, but he's a slow walker right now.
"No, that's mine!" Inuyasha yelled, running beside to stand beside her.
"Never! Eeeviiil!"
"What?!"
"Yes! Eeeviiil!" Kisike repeated.
"Now, now, there's enough for the both of you." A voice said behind them. They both turned around to see a woman who was around seven feet tall and had long, light green hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a kimono with oak leaves on it. Behind her stood a man with blue eyes and long, white hair who was slightly taller.
". . .Who are you guys?" Inuyasha asked.
"I am Kyuuten, demon of the skies." The man said.
"I am Ametsuchi, demon of the earth. Now who might you two be?" the woman asked.
Gabriel stood up. "Father, Mother! Um. . .these are my friends. A few of them have crossed the dimension star, and a few of them are from here." He said. He went around introducing everyone.
"And why did you let them come here, to the temple of the weather and elements?" Kyuuten questioned.
Kisike looked over at Kouten to see her shaking her head frantically. She blinked, realizing that Kouten didn't want her parents to find out she'd lost her flute. Kisike grabbed a chopstick and held it up to her ear like a telephone, hoping this would distract Gabriel's parents from their question. "Hello? Mr. Bubbles? Aliens are attacking my house. . ." She looked over at Akio, who was just entering the room. "Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw. . ."
Kyuuten and Ametsuchi stared at her. Finally, Kyuuten asked, ". . .What's a chainsaw?"
Gabriel sighed. "It is a tool that uses the other world magic. Electricity." He said.
Akio grinned ear to ear when he saw Kisike. He ran up to her. "Hi, Candy Lady! Got anymore candy?!" He pulled out a wad of parchment. "This was that candy you gave me earlier. It lost its flavor a few hours ago." He said.
Kisike sweatdropped. "Uh. . .longer lasting flavor. . .they weren't kidding. . ." she muttered. She looked up and sweatdropped again. "Well. . .uh. . ."
"Go outside and get some chicle from a tree. That's basically what gum is." Raylin said. Akio grinned.
"Okay!" he said. He skipped off.
". . .Okay, that was strange." Kisike said.
"Yep." Amanda said.
*after dinner*
Everyone except Kisike and Bridget went to sleep. Bridget sat out on the porch and Kisike went out to join her. Bridget was staring out into the forest. "He's following us." She said quietly.
Kisike blinked. "Eh?"
"Sesshoumaru. I've been able to hear him following us." Bridget said.
Kisike blinked and looked towards the forest, able to see in the dark. "I think I see something. . .No wait, that's a tree branch. Never mind. I can smell him though." She said. She blinked. "Hey. What's that?" she asked.
"Hm?" Bridget asked. Kisike pointed to a small light in the trees.
"That. Over there." She said.
Bridget peered into the trees. "What is it?" she asked.
"Dunno. Let's go check it out. I doubt it's Sesshoumaru." Kisike said. She jumped off the porch and walked towards the forest.
"Kisike, wait up! Don't you think we should get someone to come with us first? Or at least take a light with us!" Bridget asked, following.
"No. It may be nothing. Besides, there's already a light right there. I'm going." Kisike said, not stopping. Bridget sighed and followed. They walked into the forest. "Hello? Is anybody there? Hello?" Kisike called. She sniffed. ". . .I smell a human out here. . ."
"There must be a road nearby. . ." Bridget muttered.
The light suddenly went out. They heard a scream. "Who's there?!" Bridget demanded. An evil laugh sounded out around them.
"Good, more victims." A voice said.
"Eh?" Kisike asked.
"Kisike, behind you!" Bridget yelled. Kisike turned around and was enveloped in darkness.
Author's Note- *answering machine comes on* Hiyos! This is Kisike! Well, it's my turn to do the answering machine. . . *the others are heard yelling the background and looking for the answering machine* *Amanda's voice in the background* Hey, 'Sike! Have you seen the answering machine? *Kisike's voice* Nope! Haven't seen it! *lowers her voice slightly but still sounds hyper* Well. . .maybe it's not EXACTLY my turn, but if you leave a review and I don't reply (or at least not do another message thingy), then I'm probably dead. But leave a review anyway. Yeah. Weren't we evil to leave everybody at a cliffy? ^ ^ Oh, and about Sango? Don't worry about her at the moment. She just got locked in her movie star trailer and can't get out. ^ ^; Well, I've got to go now, because the others are starting to blame Kouga for gnawing it into oblivion, and I got to go help him. So review at the sound of the beep. Goodbye. *beep sounds*

"Do you know how creepy that sounds??" She said, watching Kisike, Shippou and Amanda grab plates and filled them up with food. Inuyasha slowly made his way to a large bowl of ramen. Miroku grinned and started to work his way around the tables. Kouten followed close behind Shippou, who was sweatdropping and looking over his shoulder every twenty seconds.
"Yup." Gabriel grinned, going over to one of the tables, the only one that wasn't fully over taken by numerous plates of food. He grabbed an already filled plate and sat down at one end of the table.
"Yay! Dumplings! They heard Shippou yell from somewhere. They couldn't see him at all. Kouten sat down at the table, next to Gabriel, and started on a big piece of red velvet cake that nearly fell off the side of the plate. She grinned at Gabriel and chewed on a piece of the cake. Gabriel sighed.
"MINE!" Kisike and Inuyasha yelled at the same time, Kisike was at the ramen bowl at the same time as Inuyasha, even though he'd already been walking towards it for about ten minutes, but he's a slow walker right now.
"No, that's mine!" Inuyasha yelled, running beside to stand beside her.
"Never! Eeeviiil!"
"What?!"
"Yes! Eeeviiil!" Kisike repeated.
"Now, now, there's enough for the both of you." A voice said behind them. They both turned around to see a woman who was around seven feet tall and had long, light green hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a kimono with oak leaves on it. Behind her stood a man with blue eyes and long, white hair who was slightly taller.
". . .Who are you guys?" Inuyasha asked.
"I am Kyuuten, demon of the skies." The man said.
"I am Ametsuchi, demon of the earth. Now who might you two be?" the woman asked.
Gabriel stood up. "Father, Mother! Um. . .these are my friends. A few of them have crossed the dimension star, and a few of them are from here." He said. He went around introducing everyone.
"And why did you let them come here, to the temple of the weather and elements?" Kyuuten questioned.
Kisike looked over at Kouten to see her shaking her head frantically. She blinked, realizing that Kouten didn't want her parents to find out she'd lost her flute. Kisike grabbed a chopstick and held it up to her ear like a telephone, hoping this would distract Gabriel's parents from their question. "Hello? Mr. Bubbles? Aliens are attacking my house. . ." She looked over at Akio, who was just entering the room. "Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw. . ."
Kyuuten and Ametsuchi stared at her. Finally, Kyuuten asked, ". . .What's a chainsaw?"
Gabriel sighed. "It is a tool that uses the other world magic. Electricity." He said.
Akio grinned ear to ear when he saw Kisike. He ran up to her. "Hi, Candy Lady! Got anymore candy?!" He pulled out a wad of parchment. "This was that candy you gave me earlier. It lost its flavor a few hours ago." He said.
Kisike sweatdropped. "Uh. . .longer lasting flavor. . .they weren't kidding. . ." she muttered. She looked up and sweatdropped again. "Well. . .uh. . ."
"Go outside and get some chicle from a tree. That's basically what gum is." Raylin said. Akio grinned.
"Okay!" he said. He skipped off.
". . .Okay, that was strange." Kisike said.
"Yep." Amanda said.
*after dinner*
Everyone except Kisike and Bridget went to sleep. Bridget sat out on the porch and Kisike went out to join her. Bridget was staring out into the forest. "He's following us." She said quietly.
Kisike blinked. "Eh?"
"Sesshoumaru. I've been able to hear him following us." Bridget said.
Kisike blinked and looked towards the forest, able to see in the dark. "I think I see something. . .No wait, that's a tree branch. Never mind. I can smell him though." She said. She blinked. "Hey. What's that?" she asked.
"Hm?" Bridget asked. Kisike pointed to a small light in the trees.
"That. Over there." She said.
Bridget peered into the trees. "What is it?" she asked.
"Dunno. Let's go check it out. I doubt it's Sesshoumaru." Kisike said. She jumped off the porch and walked towards the forest.
"Kisike, wait up! Don't you think we should get someone to come with us first? Or at least take a light with us!" Bridget asked, following.
"No. It may be nothing. Besides, there's already a light right there. I'm going." Kisike said, not stopping. Bridget sighed and followed. They walked into the forest. "Hello? Is anybody there? Hello?" Kisike called. She sniffed. ". . .I smell a human out here. . ."
"There must be a road nearby. . ." Bridget muttered.
The light suddenly went out. They heard a scream. "Who's there?!" Bridget demanded. An evil laugh sounded out around them.
"Good, more victims." A voice said.
"Eh?" Kisike asked.
"Kisike, behind you!" Bridget yelled. Kisike turned around and was enveloped in darkness.
Author's Note- *answering machine comes on* Hiyos! This is Kisike! Well, it's my turn to do the answering machine. . . *the others are heard yelling the background and looking for the answering machine* *Amanda's voice in the background* Hey, 'Sike! Have you seen the answering machine? *Kisike's voice* Nope! Haven't seen it! *lowers her voice slightly but still sounds hyper* Well. . .maybe it's not EXACTLY my turn, but if you leave a review and I don't reply (or at least not do another message thingy), then I'm probably dead. But leave a review anyway. Yeah. Weren't we evil to leave everybody at a cliffy? ^ ^ Oh, and about Sango? Don't worry about her at the moment. She just got locked in her movie star trailer and can't get out. ^ ^; Well, I've got to go now, because the others are starting to blame Kouga for gnawing it into oblivion, and I got to go help him. So review at the sound of the beep. Goodbye. *beep sounds*
