Author's Note-We still don't have all the Shikon shards yet, so we still
don't own Inuyasha. We will soon though, hopefully. Anyways.um.I've got to
go, so just be sure to read and review. Bye!
"Sesshoumaru?!" Miroku, Kagome, and Bridget exclaimed at the same time (Sigaru exclaimed it too, but his exclamation was muffled, being on the other side of the wall and all).
"I have come. . .to kill you all. And to claim the Tetsusaiga." He said.
Bridget was the first to recover. "Oh. . .well, that's great and all, but. . .now's just not a great time. How about next Saturday. . ." she said.
Sesshoumaru glanced at Bridget, then at Miroku, then at Kagome. "You." He said to Kagome. Kagome glared. "I thought I killed you." Sesshoumaru said.
"Yeah, well guess what! I was brought back to life by someone even more powerful than you!" Kagome said. Sesshoumaru's emotionless expression didn't change.
"Who might I ask is this person. . .?" he questioned.
"Such information is unneeded for the dead." Kagome said.
"Such as yourself." Sesshoumaru retaliated.
Kagome gripped her katana in anger. "Well, you were once dead and you shall be again." Said Sesshoumaru. "Attack me now before I get impatient."
"Why you. . .!" Kagome said, running at him.
She thrust her katana at Sesshoumaru's chest. It went through him but no pain showed on his face. Kagome gasped when his outline wavered and disappeared. Sesshoumaru appeared behind her. "Very slow indeed." He sneered, delivering a solid blow to Kagome's middle back.
She cried out in pain and anger, and spun around and attempted to stab him again. He caught the blade with his thumb and index finger and his hand glowed with a greenish tint. When the sharp katana was quickly reduced to a hilt and no more, Kagome sneered in anger and threw away the useless katana hilt. "You will pay for that. . ." She snapped.
Sesshoumaru smirked. "Sure. . .just try to hit me." Kagome pulled out her bow and arrow and quickly fitted the deadly arrow in to the bow. "Oh, what do you think I will do.just stand still and let you hit me?!" Kagome released the arrow; Sesshoumaru quickly dodged. He glanced back to find that the arrow had just adjusted its course and was very close to hitting him.
A red blur flew past him and snatched up the arrow. The blur finally slowed and it turned out to be Bridget. In her hand she held the arrow as it crackled with pink miko power. Bridget looked at it questionably. "So that is miko power. . .neat. . ." She mumbled. Sesshoumaru looked at her with annoyance.
"I didn't need your help." He stated. Bridget smiled nervously.
"Um. . .well. . .heheheh. . ." She giggled nervously, handing the arrow to Sesshoumaru. "Here. . ." He looked at it funnily.
"Full demons have no use for such stupid human weapons. . ." He said throwing the arrow shaft over his shoulder. Kagome was quickly fitting another arrow into her bow. "Now get out of my way before I kill you. . ." The arrow almost hit Sigaru (who is still stuck in the wall), and there came a muffled shout and a few selected cuss words that we will not repeat for fear of young minds.
Amanda stirred in the corner, quickly regaining consciousness. She spied Miroku standing not too far away. "Oh Miroku. . ." She said in a singsong voice. He looked over and laughed nervously. "HOW DARE YOU KNOCK ME OUT!!!" She screamed in his ear. (A/N: we are kind of jacked up on chocolate and chlorine water.) (J/N: No we aren't; it was you that drank half of the pool. . .) (A/N: XP) Miroku cowered in the corner while Amanda hmphed and turned toward the fight.
Kagome launched another arrow at the two across the room. They both dodged and the arrow embedded its self into the wall, causing it to crumple. Kagome fitted another arrow in to the bow, and prepared to fire another deadly missile. Just as she was about to launch yet another arrow, something solid hit her in the side and tackled her to the ground. It was Amanda. Kagome accidentally released the arrow and it struck the ceiling. This was a very bad thing.
"You bit. . ."
"Wordy derd!!!" shouted Bridget. Amanda gritted her teeth when Kagome started clawing at her already wounded arm.
"I'm not going to let you win!" She screamed in to Kagome's ear. She cringed when pieces of wood started to pelt her. . .not too gently either. "Bridget. . .get Inuyasha and the others out of here!" She ordered. Sesshoumaru was now standing to the side thinking that everyone were now complete idiots.
Bridget's face lit up. "Oh yeah. . ." She sheathed her sword, then ran over to Inuyasha lying on the floor from where he had collapsed earlier and picked him up and Raylin. She turned to Sesshoumaru who was just standing there. "You could help. . ." she snapped. Sesshoumaru growled and picked up Kisike, holding her two feet away like she had a disease. The ceiling started to collapse even faster. Bridget and Sesshoumaru rushed outside just in time to see half of the house crumple in on itself.
"Was that everybody?" Sesshoumaru snapped, setting down Kisike on the grass. . .well, more like dropped.
"Oh no! We forgot Miroku. . ." Bridget shouted, running toward the house. Sesshoumaru grabbed her shirt. A few seconds later the door and the rest of the house collapsed. "Oh damn. . .Inuyasha is definitely going to know that we did that. . ." Bridget moaned. The dust settled and there was Sigaru, still stuck in one of the few remaining walls. He was sweating bullets.
"Thanks for forgetting about me." He sneered.
"You're welcome." Sesshoumaru replied.
Something shifted in the rubble. Bridget gasped and moved into a fighting stance. Amanda pulled herself out of the rubble-in her left hand she had the bag of medicine and in her other hand she had a hold of Miroku's robes. "I got the medicine and the hentai." She said, suddenly falling back with swirly eyes.
Kagome suddenly heaved a large amount of crumpled wall off of her and stood up. She wavered from side to side about to collapse, in her hand she held a broken bow. "I need aspirin." Everyone heard her mumble as she fell over with swirly eyes.
"Oh no. . .we forgot the kids. . ." Bridget groaned. There was a something coming through the bushes on her left. It was Kouten and Shippou. "Where were ya'll?!"
"We woke up and went outside to get a drink. . .is something wrong?" Shippou asked. He then looked at the house. ". . .Oh. . ."
"Thank goodness I won't have to deal with a very pissed off snow demon." Bridget mumbled. Kouten scratched the back of her head and smiled goofy.
"Yep. That's my brother." She laughed. Bridget sweatdropped. She turned to where Sesshoumaru had been standing moments ago, but he was gone.
"Sesshoumaru?" She asked, but there was no sign that he had ever been there. She smiled weakly. "Thanks." She whispered, and turned toward the house. She helped drag Miroku out of the rubble, Amanda and Kisike regaining consciousness again.
Kisike spied Sigaru with his head still stuck in the wall and an evil smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Amanda looked at Sigaru and smiled evilly also. "Oh Sigaru. . ." The two called in a singsong voice as they picked up Miroku's staff that lied in the grass.
"OH GOD!!!" Sigaru yelped and tried to rip his head free of the wall. Amanda and Kisike walked behind of him. Amanda got the first swing as she held the staff like a baseball bat and delivered a massive blow to Sigaru's posterior. The scream echoed through out the woods. Amanda gave the staff to Kisike and walked in front of Sigaru.
"That was for threatening to cut of mine and Inuyasha's ears." She grabbed Sigaru's nose and pulled. Sigaru yelped and Kisike laughed as she watched Sigaru's butt wiggle. She took several steps back and used the staff like a golf club.
"Five!" Kisike yelled. Amanda let go of Sigaru's nose.
" Its four, Kisike." She corrected. Kisike looked from behind the wall.
"Are you trying to be like Raylin? That is a very scary thought. . ." She smiled as she pulled back the staff. "Three!" She shouted and hit Sigaru as hard as she could. Sigaru shot out of the wall and wound up in an even worse situation. He was now stuck with his head through a tree. (A/N: We are evil. . .aren't we ^_^) (J/N: Okay, no more caffeine for you.) (A/N: ;_;)
Amanda turned to Bridget who was getting all the herbs out of the bag so that they could make the medicine; Miroku was sitting next to her to tell her what to do. She suddenly slapped him as hard as she could and he lay there twitching. He had tried to rub on Bridget. "Go Bridget. . ." Amanda cheered. Finally, when the medicine was all made, they gave it to Inuyasha. Almost instantly they saw an improvement in the color of Inuyasha's skin tone. It took a few more minutes to make a cure for Raylin's paralysis, Amanda sighed and sat down next to Inuyasha. His color was better and what fever he had left had gone down greatly. "Baka. . .always trying to get yourself killed."
"Amanda. . .you're bleeding again." Shippou said tugging at her shirt. Amanda looked down at her left arm. Sure enough, her wound had been reopened during the brief struggle against Kagome. Blood dribbled down her arm and stained the snow red.
"Well, will you look at that. . ." She said as she tried to move her arm. She felt a dull pain but that was about it.
"Amanda why do you always have to be so hard-headed when it comes to getting hurt." Raylin said as she walked over. Amanda glared at her.
"Well. . .at least I don't love a hentai. That is hard-headed." Amanda countered. Raylin hit her hard over the head.
"HEY! REMEMBER WHO IS THE WOUNDED AROUND HERE!" Amanda snapped. Raylin smiled.
"Oh poor baby." Raylin smirked. Amanda stood up. Raylin gulped and ran off and Amanda quickly chased Raylin. Bridget was nearly barreled by the elf and she grabbed Amanda when she ran by.
"Amanda. . .please stay still for two minutes so that I can fix up your arm." Bridget said angrily. Amanda frowned and sat in the grass Indian- style. When Raylin ran by, Amanda picked up a stone that was close by, and chunked the stone at her. The stone hit her in the head and caused her to fall over with swirly eyes. Amanda smiled and felt a little bit better.
*In the cave*
The figure stared angrily at a pool of water, showing the battle that took place at Inuyasha's house. "That baka girl. . .must I do everything?!" he demanded. He turned to a figure standing in the darkness. "I don't have enough power to heal that onna myself again, so until she heals naturally, you will have to take over." He said. The person bowed.
"Yes, my lord." He said, disappearing.
*back at the house*
"There." Bridget said, tying the bandage. "Is it too tight?"
Amanda flexed her arm. "No, don't think so." She said, chucking another rock at Raylin. It missed but she felt better even more anyway.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! TRYING TO GIVE ME A CONCUSSION?!" Raylin shouted.
"Maaaaybe." Amanda said, grinning. Shippou ran over to them and tackled Amanda.
"Amandaaaa!" He cried. Everybody sweatdropped.
"Um. . .hi. . .Shippou. . ."
"There's a weird person at the house!" he said, pointing in the direction.
Bridget raised an eyebrow. "You mean where it used to be?"
"That too, now come on!" Shippou said impatiently, grabbing Amanda's pinky finger and beginning to try to drag her to the wreckage of the house.
Amanda sweatdropped. "Alright, alright, I'm coming. . ." she said. Shippou jumped up and down.
"There's no time, there's no time, there's no time!" he cried.
"Okay, okay. . ." Amanda stood up, along with Bridget, Kisike, Raylin, and Kouten. Miroku started to come but Raylin turned to him.
"Stay." She said.
"Alright." Miroku said, sitting back down.
They walked over to the wreckage of the house. It was already around five in the morning and the sun was out, but there were still long shadows cast from the trees and it was still dim out. Someone was in these shadows. And he was holding Kagome's limp figure.
"Um. . .who is that?" Amanda asked. Everybody shrugged.
"No idea." Bridget said.
Kisike pointed at the man. "Whoooo arrre youuuu?!" she demanded.
The man looked up at them. They couldn't see the details of him, but they could tell that he had short hair and battle armor.
"Who I am is of no concern to you. The only one you should be concerned about is the all-knowing-" he started; Kisike cut him off.
"Who is the all-knowing?" she asked.
"That is none of your concern."
"But. . .you just said. . .YOU JUST CONTRIDICTED YOURSELF!" Kisike said.
"I did not contradict myself!"
"Liar! Liiiies! All lies! The alien in the class room is there!" Kisike yelled, pointing to a few feet away from her.
The man blinked. ". . .Say what?"
"There!" Kisike yelled, pointing to another spot. "Right there!"
The man -.-'ed. "You must be the insane one."
"What are you saying? They're all insane!" Raylin said.
Amanda hit her over the head. "You are too! Admit it! You read the entire dictionary when you were just BORED!" she yelled.
"That's called being smart! Something you may not know much about. . ." Raylin said.
"Ooooh. . .that's one for Raylin, zero for Amanda." Bridget said.
"How about this?! Does this count as a point?!" Amanda demanded, beginning to strangle Raylin.
". . .No, if you kill your opponent then you're disqualified." Bridget sighed.
"Darn it. . ." Amanda said, releasing Raylin. "Baka. . ." she muttered to Raylin.
"But. . .but killing is fun!" Kisike said.
"No, Kisike. Killing is not fun."
"But Johnny does it all the time!"
"Johnny the homicidal maniac?" Bridget asked, raising an eyebrow and sweatdropping.
"Yes! The dude in my shrine with the candles!" Kisike said.
". . .I'm accidentally-on-purpose knocking over one of those candles next time I spend the night at your house."
"Then I'll do a trick! Like kill you." Kisike said casually.
". . ."
The guy sweatdropped as he watched the girls carry on normal conversation as if they were in school. The brats (Shippou and Kouten) where the only ones that really seemed to remember that he was still there. "Um. . .ahem. . ." he said, clearing his throat and trying to get their attention. It didn't work. His entrance spoiled, he decided that now would be a good time to leave, but he'd go out with a bang.
He snapped his fingers and a pillar of fire rose up and encircled him as he disappeared. The girls (who were preoccupied with Amanda beginning to strangle Kisike, Bridget trying to break them apart and Raylin just standing off to the side and shaking her head) finally looked over at the flames.
"Uhm. . .I think Inuyasha is going to notice that. . ." Kisike said.
"No. . .he isn't awake yet. . .thankfully." Amanda said.
"Who cares? The house. . .it's setting on fire. . .yeah. . .and um. . .if this spreads, we're gonna be burned to a crisp before breakfast." Kisike said, sweatdropping.
"Didn't you say something about a person dying as a ball of flames humorous?" Raylin asked, turning to her.
"Yes, but not us!" Kisike said, "And um. . .your hair is on fire." Kisike said pointing to Raylin's head. Raylin went pale. She immediately dropped to the ground and started rolling around, all the while Kisike cracking up. " Got ya'" Kisike said trying to catch her breath.
"Guys we /really/ need to stop this fire because I don't want to get to be crisp and easy." Amanda said as she watched the flames quickly spread through the remains of Inuyasha's house.
"I really think that Inuyasha is going to notice that. . ." Bridget said shaking her head, Kouten ran to the edge of the flames.
"Be stormy!" A small rain cloud appeared over the massive tower of flames, but it was definitely not enough to put out the fire. "Oh. . .be happy. . ." Kouten said sadly.
Shippou patted her on the shoulder. "That's okay Kouten. . .you tried." Shippou said. Kouten smiled.
"SHIPPOU!" She squealed and latched on to him. He gagged and fell to the ground with swirly eyes.
"Um. . .we. . .like. . .really need to go." Amanda said laughing nervously as she stared at the towering flames. 'This is just too hot for my taste.' She thought. Everyone started backing up and nodding in agreement. As they retreated Amanda grabbed a small piece of wood that had once been part of the house, then everyone started sprinting back to where Inuyasha and Miroku where camped at.
Sigaru let out a sigh, for half an hour he had been stuck in that tree. He sniffed the air. "Hey what is that smell, something's burning." Sigaru said to himself as something started to warm his backside. "OH HOT!!!" he screeched, starting to do the wiggle dance.
Amanda and the others came panting in to the clearing, Miroku sitting against a tree and Inuyasha starting to wake up. "Amanda. . ." Bridget said, nudging her toward Inuyasha.
"HELL NO! I'm not going to tell him." She said jumping behind Raylin. She handed the piece of wood to her. "Here. . .you go out with the hentai. . .you tell him."
"NO!"
" Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"Here." Raylin said, handing the piece of wood to Amanda and shoving her on top of Inuyasha. "He's your boyfriend." Amanda started blushing and turned bright red as Inuyasha sat up and looked at her.
"What is it that you want to tell me?" He asked.
Amanda looked toward her friends. She sweatdropped when she saw them on the other side of the clearing. "SOME FRIENDS!!!" she shouted. She then turned back to Inuyasha. "Okay, but before I tell you, you have to promise not to take out your anger on me. . .okay?" Amanda asked. She could feel her palms start to sweat.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "Okay." He said slowly.
Amanda took Inuyasha's hand and dropped the piece of wood in to it. "Um. . .here."
"What is this?" He asked dumbfounded.
"What's left of your house." Amanda said meekly.
" MY WHAT?!" He shouted. He looked at Amanda with the I'm-gonna-kill- you-sharp-toothed-big-fanged (homicidal) look and vaguely resembling a grinning shark. "Would you like to repeat that?" He asked through clenched teeth. Amanda sweatdropped.
"That's what's left of. . ." Amanda gulped, "your house." She squeaked.
Inuyasha grabbed her around the throat and had her on the ground strangling her. Amanda about that time had swirly eyes. Raylin started laughing. "HEY, INUYASHA. . .you go boy!" She shouted though cupped hands. Inuyasha temporarily stopped strangling Amanda. He then looked their position on the ground. He was pretty much straddling Amanda's sides and was sitting on her stomach. He leaped off of her like he had just been rear ended by a cattle prod. Amanda and Inuyasha now sat about five feet apart with their arms crossed and faces red. They glanced at each other and then blushed an even brighter red (if possible).
"How embarrassing. . ." Miroku said shaking his head and standing next to Raylin. He reached up and tried to grab her ass, but he soon found himself in between Inuyasha and Amanda with a /big/ slap mark on the side of his face.
Inuyasha stood up and walked in the direction of his burnt/burning house. He came back a few minutes later, his hair singed with a little flame on one side of his head. Kisike strutted over and licked her thumb and index finger, then put out the little flame. Inuyasha's eyebrows started twitching. "Who started the fire?!" He asked as everybody hid behind the nearest tree.
"Well. . .it was. . .a guy. . .he um. . .yea." Raylin gulped.
Kisike smiled. "Do you know the muffin man. . .the muffin man. . .the muffin man. . .do you know the muffin man who lives on Durey Lane. . ." She sang. Inuyasha cringed and covered his sensitive ears. A pinecone came flying out from behind the tree that Amanda was hiding from, hitting Kisike right in the middle of the face and stuck there.
"Kisike, you baka. . .shut up!" Amanda shouted. Inuyasha's eye twitched. "Hey look Inuyasha it was not our fault that your house is completely destroyed and there is no hope to ever rebuild it. . .oops. . ." She mentally hit herself in the head as she caught the sad look in Inuyasha's eyes. "Inuyasha. . .I didn't mean to say that. . ." she said. Inuyasha abruptly turned and walked off in no particular direction. "Inuyasha. . ." she whispered, looking off in to the direction that he had disappeared to.
Raylin walked up to behind Amanda. "Look what you've done."
"I didn't mean to. . .it was an accident." She whispered, she turned toward Raylin. "You have no idea what I experienced in that dark pond. . .you have no idea. . ." she whispered. She then ran off into the woods after Inuyasha. 'God what have I done?' she thought.
"Raylin see what you've done. . .now that's two people we have to go looking for because of your big, humongous hole for a mouth." Bridget said, jabbing a finger at Raylin. "You couldn't keep quiet, couldn't you?"
"Well. . .I um. . ." Raylin said trying to tiptoe away from the group. Kisike pulled out the duct tape. They taped her to a tree to keep her there.
"Don't worry, Lady Bridget. They will come back. . .Inuyasha won't let anything happen to either of them." Miroku said.
***
Amanda walked though the forest. She leaned down and looked at the ground. 'Inuyasha's been here. . .it looks like he started running right about there.' She thought, studying the tracks that Inuyasha had made. She followed his scent now relying on more on instinct than knowledge. She felt tears come to her eyes when a tree branch hit her in her arm when she was running.
'I'm so stupid. . .how could I have been so heartless.' She thought, remembering how Inuyasha had looked right before he had left. His scent abruptly stopped. She looked around, puzzled. She let her gaze drift up a tree trunk, and on one of its highest branches sat Inuyasha. She climbed up the tree trunk until she was right next to him. "May I join you?" she whispered. She saw a light nod of his head.
He keep on staring straight ahead even when Amanda took a seat next to him on the tree branch. Amanda sat there in silence just staring at her knees. She felt hot tears land on the back of her hands and realized that it was she that was crying. Inuyasha looked down at her and noticed this. "Why are you crying?"
She shook her head. "It's my fault that we all got in this mess. . .if I had only been strong enough to defeat Kagome the first time she attacked, then your house wouldn't be in the shape it is now." The hot tears seemed to come more freely now. Inuyasha sighed and looked straight again.
"It's not your fault. . .it's nobody's fault. The place was about to fall apart anyway."
"But it was your home." Amanda sobbed. Inuyasha looked at her from the corner of his eye. He shifted nervously, and then wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She unconsciously leaned against him; she felt so tired. Inuyasha smiled a little bit when he felt Amanda go to sleep against him. He felt something wet against him palm. He looked at his palm. It was partially red. He looked at Amanda's arm, where there was a blood soaked bandage. He felt sick to his stomach.
'Did I do that?' he though to himself. He had a sickening feeling that he had.
Author's Note- *answering machine comes on* *Amanda's voice* Hi, readers. I'm doing the answering machine thingy since Kisike, Raylin, and Kouga have gotten into an argument and Bridget's trying to break it up. *in the background * Hey, come back here! You started this whole argument! *Amanda* Eheh.heh.well, anyways, we've written more and we still are. We would like to thank you all for the reviews that we've been getting. We've also decided to do something. Whoever is the fiftieth reviewer gets a prize. Sounds good, ne? Well, be sure to review! Bye!
"Sesshoumaru?!" Miroku, Kagome, and Bridget exclaimed at the same time (Sigaru exclaimed it too, but his exclamation was muffled, being on the other side of the wall and all).
"I have come. . .to kill you all. And to claim the Tetsusaiga." He said.
Bridget was the first to recover. "Oh. . .well, that's great and all, but. . .now's just not a great time. How about next Saturday. . ." she said.
Sesshoumaru glanced at Bridget, then at Miroku, then at Kagome. "You." He said to Kagome. Kagome glared. "I thought I killed you." Sesshoumaru said.
"Yeah, well guess what! I was brought back to life by someone even more powerful than you!" Kagome said. Sesshoumaru's emotionless expression didn't change.

Something shifted in the rubble. Bridget gasped and moved into a fighting stance. Amanda pulled herself out of the rubble-in her left hand she had the bag of medicine and in her other hand she had a hold of Miroku's robes. "I got the medicine and the hentai." She said, suddenly falling back with swirly eyes.
Kagome suddenly heaved a large amount of crumpled wall off of her and stood up. She wavered from side to side about to collapse, in her hand she held a broken bow. "I need aspirin." Everyone heard her mumble as she fell over with swirly eyes.
"Oh no. . .we forgot the kids. . ." Bridget groaned. There was a something coming through the bushes on her left. It was Kouten and Shippou. "Where were ya'll?!"
"We woke up and went outside to get a drink. . .is something wrong?" Shippou asked. He then looked at the house. ". . .Oh. . ."
"Thank goodness I won't have to deal with a very pissed off snow demon." Bridget mumbled. Kouten scratched the back of her head and smiled goofy.
"Yep. That's my brother." She laughed. Bridget sweatdropped. She turned to where Sesshoumaru had been standing moments ago, but he was gone.

"OH GOD!!!" Sigaru yelped and tried to rip his head free of the wall. Amanda and Kisike walked behind of him. Amanda got the first swing as she held the staff like a baseball bat and delivered a massive blow to Sigaru's posterior. The scream echoed through out the woods. Amanda gave the staff to Kisike and walked in front of Sigaru.
"That was for threatening to cut of mine and Inuyasha's ears." She grabbed Sigaru's nose and pulled. Sigaru yelped and Kisike laughed as she watched Sigaru's butt wiggle. She took several steps back and used the staff like a golf club.
"Five!" Kisike yelled. Amanda let go of Sigaru's nose.
" Its four, Kisike." She corrected. Kisike looked from behind the wall.
"Are you trying to be like Raylin? That is a very scary thought. . ." She smiled as she pulled back the staff. "Three!" She shouted and hit Sigaru as hard as she could. Sigaru shot out of the wall and wound up in an even worse situation. He was now stuck with his head through a tree. (A/N: We are evil. . .aren't we ^_^) (J/N: Okay, no more caffeine for you.) (A/N: ;_;)
Amanda turned to Bridget who was getting all the herbs out of the bag so that they could make the medicine; Miroku was sitting next to her to tell her what to do. She suddenly slapped him as hard as she could and he lay there twitching. He had tried to rub on Bridget. "Go Bridget. . ." Amanda cheered. Finally, when the medicine was all made, they gave it to Inuyasha. Almost instantly they saw an improvement in the color of Inuyasha's skin tone. It took a few more minutes to make a cure for Raylin's paralysis, Amanda sighed and sat down next to Inuyasha. His color was better and what fever he had left had gone down greatly. "Baka. . .always trying to get yourself killed."
"Amanda. . .you're bleeding again." Shippou said tugging at her shirt. Amanda looked down at her left arm. Sure enough, her wound had been reopened during the brief struggle against Kagome. Blood dribbled down her arm and stained the snow red.
"Well, will you look at that. . ." She said as she tried to move her arm. She felt a dull pain but that was about it.
"Amanda why do you always have to be so hard-headed when it comes to getting hurt." Raylin said as she walked over. Amanda glared at her.
"Well. . .at least I don't love a hentai. That is hard-headed." Amanda countered. Raylin hit her hard over the head.
"HEY! REMEMBER WHO IS THE WOUNDED AROUND HERE!" Amanda snapped. Raylin smiled.
"Oh poor baby." Raylin smirked. Amanda stood up. Raylin gulped and ran off and Amanda quickly chased Raylin. Bridget was nearly barreled by the elf and she grabbed Amanda when she ran by.
"Amanda. . .please stay still for two minutes so that I can fix up your arm." Bridget said angrily. Amanda frowned and sat in the grass Indian- style. When Raylin ran by, Amanda picked up a stone that was close by, and chunked the stone at her. The stone hit her in the head and caused her to fall over with swirly eyes. Amanda smiled and felt a little bit better.
*In the cave*
The figure stared angrily at a pool of water, showing the battle that took place at Inuyasha's house. "That baka girl. . .must I do everything?!" he demanded. He turned to a figure standing in the darkness. "I don't have enough power to heal that onna myself again, so until she heals naturally, you will have to take over." He said. The person bowed.
"Yes, my lord." He said, disappearing.
*back at the house*
"There." Bridget said, tying the bandage. "Is it too tight?"
Amanda flexed her arm. "No, don't think so." She said, chucking another rock at Raylin. It missed but she felt better even more anyway.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! TRYING TO GIVE ME A CONCUSSION?!" Raylin shouted.
"Maaaaybe." Amanda said, grinning. Shippou ran over to them and tackled Amanda.
"Amandaaaa!" He cried. Everybody sweatdropped.
"Um. . .hi. . .Shippou. . ."
"There's a weird person at the house!" he said, pointing in the direction.
Bridget raised an eyebrow. "You mean where it used to be?"
"That too, now come on!" Shippou said impatiently, grabbing Amanda's pinky finger and beginning to try to drag her to the wreckage of the house.
Amanda sweatdropped. "Alright, alright, I'm coming. . ." she said. Shippou jumped up and down.
"There's no time, there's no time, there's no time!" he cried.
"Okay, okay. . ." Amanda stood up, along with Bridget, Kisike, Raylin, and Kouten. Miroku started to come but Raylin turned to him.
"Stay." She said.
"Alright." Miroku said, sitting back down.
They walked over to the wreckage of the house. It was already around five in the morning and the sun was out, but there were still long shadows cast from the trees and it was still dim out. Someone was in these shadows. And he was holding Kagome's limp figure.
"Um. . .who is that?" Amanda asked. Everybody shrugged.
"No idea." Bridget said.
Kisike pointed at the man. "Whoooo arrre youuuu?!" she demanded.
The man looked up at them. They couldn't see the details of him, but they could tell that he had short hair and battle armor.
"Who I am is of no concern to you. The only one you should be concerned about is the all-knowing-" he started; Kisike cut him off.
"Who is the all-knowing?" she asked.
"That is none of your concern."
"But. . .you just said. . .YOU JUST CONTRIDICTED YOURSELF!" Kisike said.
"I did not contradict myself!"
"Liar! Liiiies! All lies! The alien in the class room is there!" Kisike yelled, pointing to a few feet away from her.
The man blinked. ". . .Say what?"
"There!" Kisike yelled, pointing to another spot. "Right there!"
The man -.-'ed. "You must be the insane one."
"What are you saying? They're all insane!" Raylin said.
Amanda hit her over the head. "You are too! Admit it! You read the entire dictionary when you were just BORED!" she yelled.
"That's called being smart! Something you may not know much about. . ." Raylin said.
"Ooooh. . .that's one for Raylin, zero for Amanda." Bridget said.
"How about this?! Does this count as a point?!" Amanda demanded, beginning to strangle Raylin.
". . .No, if you kill your opponent then you're disqualified." Bridget sighed.
"Darn it. . ." Amanda said, releasing Raylin. "Baka. . ." she muttered to Raylin.
"But. . .but killing is fun!" Kisike said.
"No, Kisike. Killing is not fun."
"But Johnny does it all the time!"
"Johnny the homicidal maniac?" Bridget asked, raising an eyebrow and sweatdropping.
"Yes! The dude in my shrine with the candles!" Kisike said.
". . .I'm accidentally-on-purpose knocking over one of those candles next time I spend the night at your house."
"Then I'll do a trick! Like kill you." Kisike said casually.
". . ."
The guy sweatdropped as he watched the girls carry on normal conversation as if they were in school. The brats (Shippou and Kouten) where the only ones that really seemed to remember that he was still there. "Um. . .ahem. . ." he said, clearing his throat and trying to get their attention. It didn't work. His entrance spoiled, he decided that now would be a good time to leave, but he'd go out with a bang.
He snapped his fingers and a pillar of fire rose up and encircled him as he disappeared. The girls (who were preoccupied with Amanda beginning to strangle Kisike, Bridget trying to break them apart and Raylin just standing off to the side and shaking her head) finally looked over at the flames.
"Uhm. . .I think Inuyasha is going to notice that. . ." Kisike said.
"No. . .he isn't awake yet. . .thankfully." Amanda said.
"Who cares? The house. . .it's setting on fire. . .yeah. . .and um. . .if this spreads, we're gonna be burned to a crisp before breakfast." Kisike said, sweatdropping.
"Didn't you say something about a person dying as a ball of flames humorous?" Raylin asked, turning to her.
"Yes, but not us!" Kisike said, "And um. . .your hair is on fire." Kisike said pointing to Raylin's head. Raylin went pale. She immediately dropped to the ground and started rolling around, all the while Kisike cracking up. " Got ya'" Kisike said trying to catch her breath.
"Guys we /really/ need to stop this fire because I don't want to get to be crisp and easy." Amanda said as she watched the flames quickly spread through the remains of Inuyasha's house.
"I really think that Inuyasha is going to notice that. . ." Bridget said shaking her head, Kouten ran to the edge of the flames.
"Be stormy!" A small rain cloud appeared over the massive tower of flames, but it was definitely not enough to put out the fire. "Oh. . .be happy. . ." Kouten said sadly.
Shippou patted her on the shoulder. "That's okay Kouten. . .you tried." Shippou said. Kouten smiled.
"SHIPPOU!" She squealed and latched on to him. He gagged and fell to the ground with swirly eyes.
"Um. . .we. . .like. . .really need to go." Amanda said laughing nervously as she stared at the towering flames. 'This is just too hot for my taste.' She thought. Everyone started backing up and nodding in agreement. As they retreated Amanda grabbed a small piece of wood that had once been part of the house, then everyone started sprinting back to where Inuyasha and Miroku where camped at.
Sigaru let out a sigh, for half an hour he had been stuck in that tree. He sniffed the air. "Hey what is that smell, something's burning." Sigaru said to himself as something started to warm his backside. "OH HOT!!!" he screeched, starting to do the wiggle dance.
Amanda and the others came panting in to the clearing, Miroku sitting against a tree and Inuyasha starting to wake up. "Amanda. . ." Bridget said, nudging her toward Inuyasha.
"HELL NO! I'm not going to tell him." She said jumping behind Raylin. She handed the piece of wood to her. "Here. . .you go out with the hentai. . .you tell him."
"NO!"
" Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"Here." Raylin said, handing the piece of wood to Amanda and shoving her on top of Inuyasha. "He's your boyfriend." Amanda started blushing and turned bright red as Inuyasha sat up and looked at her.
"What is it that you want to tell me?" He asked.
Amanda looked toward her friends. She sweatdropped when she saw them on the other side of the clearing. "SOME FRIENDS!!!" she shouted. She then turned back to Inuyasha. "Okay, but before I tell you, you have to promise not to take out your anger on me. . .okay?" Amanda asked. She could feel her palms start to sweat.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "Okay." He said slowly.
Amanda took Inuyasha's hand and dropped the piece of wood in to it. "Um. . .here."
"What is this?" He asked dumbfounded.
"What's left of your house." Amanda said meekly.
" MY WHAT?!" He shouted. He looked at Amanda with the I'm-gonna-kill- you-sharp-toothed-big-fanged (homicidal) look and vaguely resembling a grinning shark. "Would you like to repeat that?" He asked through clenched teeth. Amanda sweatdropped.
"That's what's left of. . ." Amanda gulped, "your house." She squeaked.
Inuyasha grabbed her around the throat and had her on the ground strangling her. Amanda about that time had swirly eyes. Raylin started laughing. "HEY, INUYASHA. . .you go boy!" She shouted though cupped hands. Inuyasha temporarily stopped strangling Amanda. He then looked their position on the ground. He was pretty much straddling Amanda's sides and was sitting on her stomach. He leaped off of her like he had just been rear ended by a cattle prod. Amanda and Inuyasha now sat about five feet apart with their arms crossed and faces red. They glanced at each other and then blushed an even brighter red (if possible).
"How embarrassing. . ." Miroku said shaking his head and standing next to Raylin. He reached up and tried to grab her ass, but he soon found himself in between Inuyasha and Amanda with a /big/ slap mark on the side of his face.
Inuyasha stood up and walked in the direction of his burnt/burning house. He came back a few minutes later, his hair singed with a little flame on one side of his head. Kisike strutted over and licked her thumb and index finger, then put out the little flame. Inuyasha's eyebrows started twitching. "Who started the fire?!" He asked as everybody hid behind the nearest tree.
"Well. . .it was. . .a guy. . .he um. . .yea." Raylin gulped.
Kisike smiled. "Do you know the muffin man. . .the muffin man. . .the muffin man. . .do you know the muffin man who lives on Durey Lane. . ." She sang. Inuyasha cringed and covered his sensitive ears. A pinecone came flying out from behind the tree that Amanda was hiding from, hitting Kisike right in the middle of the face and stuck there.
"Kisike, you baka. . .shut up!" Amanda shouted. Inuyasha's eye twitched. "Hey look Inuyasha it was not our fault that your house is completely destroyed and there is no hope to ever rebuild it. . .oops. . ." She mentally hit herself in the head as she caught the sad look in Inuyasha's eyes. "Inuyasha. . .I didn't mean to say that. . ." she said. Inuyasha abruptly turned and walked off in no particular direction. "Inuyasha. . ." she whispered, looking off in to the direction that he had disappeared to.
Raylin walked up to behind Amanda. "Look what you've done."
"I didn't mean to. . .it was an accident." She whispered, she turned toward Raylin. "You have no idea what I experienced in that dark pond. . .you have no idea. . ." she whispered. She then ran off into the woods after Inuyasha. 'God what have I done?' she thought.
"Raylin see what you've done. . .now that's two people we have to go looking for because of your big, humongous hole for a mouth." Bridget said, jabbing a finger at Raylin. "You couldn't keep quiet, couldn't you?"
"Well. . .I um. . ." Raylin said trying to tiptoe away from the group. Kisike pulled out the duct tape. They taped her to a tree to keep her there.
"Don't worry, Lady Bridget. They will come back. . .Inuyasha won't let anything happen to either of them." Miroku said.
***
Amanda walked though the forest. She leaned down and looked at the ground. 'Inuyasha's been here. . .it looks like he started running right about there.' She thought, studying the tracks that Inuyasha had made. She followed his scent now relying on more on instinct than knowledge. She felt tears come to her eyes when a tree branch hit her in her arm when she was running.
'I'm so stupid. . .how could I have been so heartless.' She thought, remembering how Inuyasha had looked right before he had left. His scent abruptly stopped. She looked around, puzzled. She let her gaze drift up a tree trunk, and on one of its highest branches sat Inuyasha. She climbed up the tree trunk until she was right next to him. "May I join you?" she whispered. She saw a light nod of his head.
He keep on staring straight ahead even when Amanda took a seat next to him on the tree branch. Amanda sat there in silence just staring at her knees. She felt hot tears land on the back of her hands and realized that it was she that was crying. Inuyasha looked down at her and noticed this. "Why are you crying?"
She shook her head. "It's my fault that we all got in this mess. . .if I had only been strong enough to defeat Kagome the first time she attacked, then your house wouldn't be in the shape it is now." The hot tears seemed to come more freely now. Inuyasha sighed and looked straight again.
"It's not your fault. . .it's nobody's fault. The place was about to fall apart anyway."
"But it was your home." Amanda sobbed. Inuyasha looked at her from the corner of his eye. He shifted nervously, and then wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She unconsciously leaned against him; she felt so tired. Inuyasha smiled a little bit when he felt Amanda go to sleep against him. He felt something wet against him palm. He looked at his palm. It was partially red. He looked at Amanda's arm, where there was a blood soaked bandage. He felt sick to his stomach.
'Did I do that?' he though to himself. He had a sickening feeling that he had.
