Author's Note-Hey! Bet you're surprised to hear from us again. Think we've
abandoned this fic? No chance. ^ ^ We've been gotten a couple Shikon
shards lately.not enough, but some.so we still don't own anything. And we
also don't own Ranma ½. That also belongs to the genius Rumiko Takahashi.
Anyways, here's the new chapter!
Inuyasha froze. "Ki-Kikyo?" he stammered.
"Yeah."
"How did you find out about Kikyo. . .?" he asked.
"I met her. . .temporarily. It was in the pond."
"The pond?"
"Yeah. I was taken to the past when you got pinned to a tree." Amanda explained. "I want to know if you really destroyed that village, killed Kikyo, and stole the Shikon No Tama."
"I. . .I. . ." Inuyasha stammered. He looked away. "I didn't do all of it." He responded.
Amanda raised an eyebrow. "But you did some of it?" she demanded. "Why? I thought you were better than that!"
"Amanda. . ." Inuyasha said, taking her hands. "I wouldn't have. . .but I was different back then. . ." he said.
"That didn't give you the right to do those things that you did though. . ." Amanda said.
"I didn't mean to. . .besides, like I said, not everything was done by me." Inuyasha said. The wall to his emotions suddenly went back up. He released her hands and turned away. "Feh. I don't need you lecturing me on something that happened fifty years ago anyway. . .let's get back to the others." He said.
Amanda blinked, then nodded. "Sure." She said.
They walked back to the campsite. The others, who were sitting around and trying to look like they'd seen nothing at all, all looked up.
"C'mon. We're leaving. We have places to go and things to do." Inuyasha said, not stopping.
The group stood up, gathered their things, and followed the dog-eared hanyou. They walked for a couple hours until they finally came to the edge of the valley. Raylin blinked suddenly. "Hang on. . .why is he following us?" she asked Amanda, who was right beside her.
"I don't know. Maybe he's just going our way?" Amanda asked, shrugging.
Bridget nodded. Then she turned to Sigaru. "Hey, why ARE you following us?" she asked.
"Because. I'm going to defeat Inuyasha and cut everybody's ears off." Sigaru replied.
Amanda shoved him into a pool of water right by the path. Everybody who was up front heard the splash and turned around to see what had caused it. But what they saw was not at all what they expected to see. Kisike was the first one to speak. She burst out laughing and exclaimed, "Oh my god! It's the pool of the drowning girl!"
A girl Inuyasha's age with short black hair in a ponytail and dog ears blinked up at them, then glared. "What are you talking about?!" she demanded. She yelped. "Wait. . .is that MY voice?! It's too high pitched. . .I sound like a. . .like a. . ."
"Like a girl?" Raylin asked, raising an eyebrow.
Inuyasha was laughing so hard that he practically fell over. "Oh man! I can't believe it! You're a. . .a. . .a girl!" he laughed.
Even Miroku couldn't contain the grin on his face. "It appears that there was one more pond in this valley that could do. . .damage." He said.
Sigaru gasped. "I can't believe it. . .I'm a giiiirl!" He-or should I say she-cried.
"Well, this probably isn't too much different from Ranma ½. All we need to do is splash you with some hot water. But you'll be stuck with the curse until you can find the cure." Bridget said.
"And what's the curse?"
"Cold water, you're a girl. Hot water, you're a boy."
"Oh, greeeat. . ." Sigaru moaned.
Bridget shrugged.
Sigaru jumped up. "Well then, I'll just have to find some place with hot water." She turned to Inuyasha. "Don't you forget. We still have a fight to finish. I will defeat you, Inuyasha, if it's the last thing I do."
"Fine. Train all you like. You'll never defeat me." Inuyasha replied, smirking.
"You keep telling yourself that. Goodbye, losers!" she called, running off into the woods. They saw her slip off a tree branch in the distance and sweatdropped. "Um. . .goodbye now, losers!" Sigaru yelled, disappearing.
"Good riddance. Let's go." Inuyasha said, starting off again.
The others followed.
*that night; several hours away from the valley*
"Um. . .does anybody have any clue where we are?" Bridget asked after awhile.
"Closer to Mt. Fuji, of course." Inuyasha replied.
"Mountain Fuji!" Kisike said.
". . ."
Bridget looked around. "Um. . .maybe we should stop somewhere. . .it'll be dark soon." She said.
"That seems like a good idea. We passed the last inn several hours ago, so we'll probably have to camp outside. We'll need to build a proper campsite." Miroku said, nodding.
Inuyasha sighed. "Feh. Alright." He said.
"There isn't any inns near here, but there's a hot springs nearby. We can camp near there!" Kouten said, riding on her cloud.
"That sounds like a good idea." Amanda said.
"Okay then! Just follow me!" Kouten said, flying off. The others had to jog to keep up with her. After about ten minutes, they came to a small clearing in the woods.
"This spot seems good. We can set up camp here." Miroku sighed, sitting down.
"Yeah." Raylin said, nodding.
"It's a good thing we were able to buy some stuff at the last village!" Shippou said, digging into the bags that Raylin and Bridget had just set down. He pulled out several blankets.
Raylin nodded again. She turned to the guys. "Well, you guys can set up the tents and stuff. Also, I think it would be a good idea if we could get fire going, so we'll need the snow in the campfire area dug away." She then turned to Kisike, Bridget, and Amanda. "I'm going to the hot springs. You guys want to come?"
"Sure." The three said.
Amanda glared at the boys. "You guys had better not think about peeking." She said.
"Feh, I don't know why you'd be directing that towards me and Miroku. You'll probably have to worry about Miroku but I certainly don't wanna see anything." He said.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Miroku lied.
"Liar."
The girls grabbed some towels and yukatas (kimonos that are used mainly like bathrobes) and walked off.
Miroku looked over at Inuyasha. "I suppose we should get to work. . ." he said.
"I don't see why we have to set up the whole camp." Inuyasha said. "Besides, I'm not getting a good feeling about this place. There's something nearby. Or some things. . ." His eyes scanned the tree line.
Miroku began setting up a tent. "Can't you smell what it is? Is it a demon?"
"I'm not sure. . ." Inuyasha said.
"Oh, I get it. Tonight must be the night of the new moon." Shippou said.
"New moon?" Kouten asked.
"Yeah. That's when Inuyasha becomes a human."
". . .Well thanks for blabbing it to the world, brat." Inuyasha said.
"All of us that are here at the moment already knew except Kouten, and it was only a matter of time that she found out, anyway." Miroku said.
"Feh." Inuyasha fell silent. 'My powers are leaving fast. . .it won't be very long till I'm human.' He thought. 'I wonder if it's happening to the girls, too.'
Miroku set up a few more tents, then turned to Inuyasha. "Alright, Inuyasha. I'm going to take a walk. You can work some more on the campsite." He said, walking off.
"A walk? Yeah right. He's just going to try peeking at the girls." Inuyasha muttered.
"They're going to kill him. . ." Shippou said knowingly.
"I would not be surprised."
*At the hot springs*
Amanda sighed and sank deeper in to the hot springs. "I'm so glad that we finally get a few moments to relax." She mumbled. Her friends all nodded their heads.
"To bad Miroku has to ruin the moment." Raylin said, picking up a stone and quickly chucking it in to the bushes. Everyone heard a thonk, yelp, and then a big thud. They all stood up and went to the bushes. There lay Miroku with a big lump on his head and swirly eyes. Amanda stifled a giggle. "What are we going to do with him?" Raylin sighed, shaking her head.
"Well he's your boyfriend." Amanda said nudging her in the shoulder with her finger. Raylin raised an eyebrow.
"Well I at least don't have a boyfriend that is technically (sp?) your nature's enemy."
"OH please, my friend Kristine has a cat and dog, and neither of them ever fight, and they sleep with each other for crying out loud." Amanda said waving her hands in the air. " And. . ."
"And what?"
"And at least my boyfriend isn't a hentai." Amanda said in a singsong voice. Raylin growled and pounced at Amanda. She yelped as Raylin fell on top of her and pushed her underwater. Amanda came up coughing up water. "Hey that wasn't funny!" She protested. Raylin smirked.
"Poor neko-jin." Raylin joked. Amanda grabbed her ankle and totally knocked her off balance. "What was that for? " She asked when she came up.
"Nothing." Amanda said as she leaned up against a rock. 'Something's wrong. . .and I don't like it.' Amanda thought. She looked over at Bridget.
The fairy-jin was looking at her funny. "What?!"
"You look different. . ." Bridget said, scratching her head. She shrugged. "Oh well." She said as she went to concentrate on removing all traces of trash from her hair, which was quite a task.
Amanda sighed and went to cleaning her self off. She removed the bandages from her arm. The gash in her arm was slightly smaller and it was healing quickly, "I sure wish I had demon blood in the other dimension, that would mean I would have only a few days to recover from a broken leg or something." Amanda commented as she dipped her arm in to the water and cleaned all the dried blood from it. Raylin looked at her.
"That would be something, eh. . ." she whispered. After everyone was all cleaned up, they tied Miroku's wrists and ankles to his staff so he hung from it. They dressed and went back to camp with Miroku dangling from Kisike and Raylin. "That sure was relaxing. . .the hot springs I mean."
"I haven't felt that relaxed in. . .quite a while." Bridget said as she rubbed her shoulders. "I need to pay another visit to my chiropractor. Remind me to talk to mom about that." She said to Amanda. Amanda raised an eyebrow.
"When am I coming over to your house?" Amanda asked.
"This week hopefully. . .remember our moms are trying to edge out the details today." Bridget said, rolling her eyes. Amanda smiled and rubbed the back of her head.
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that." Amanda said laughing. Raylin snorted and rolled her eyes. Kisike ran over to Amanda and started sniffing her. Amanda looked at Kisike strangely.
"You smell funny." Kisike stated. Amanda hit her over the head.
"STOP SNIFFING ME!!" Amanda shouted. Kisike hmphed and ran up a tree to pout. They broke through the trees at camp to see a black haired boy was sitting in there. He glanced at them and turned to tend to the fire. "Who are you?!" Amanda protested. She went up to him and looked him in the face. Shippou jumped on her head. "You look familiar. . ."
"Of course I'm familiar, because I'm Inuyasha. . ." He grumbled. Amanda blinked.
"Inuyasha? Why did you dye you hair?" Amanda asked as she ran her hands through his hair. He grabbed her wrists and pushed her back. She yelped and fell on her rear. She looked angrily at Inuyasha. "What was that for?!"
Shippou jumped on her head. "Don't take it personally. . .Inuyasha always gets a bit more moody when it's a new moon."
"Why is that?" Bridget asked. Shippou looked at her.
"The new moon is Inuyasha' s time of weakness. . .and I guess it's your time of weakness also." Shippou said tugging at Amanda's hair. She growled and plucked him from his perch.
"What do you mean my time of weakness?!" She asked bringing his face close to hers. Shippou sighed and put his hands on his head.
"Do this." He ordered, Amanda frowned and did what he did.
"What is this some time of kitsune game?" she asked. She froze, her face becoming pale. She couldn't feel her cat ears! She moved her hands along the side of her head until she found them. They were human, which meant. . . "I'm human!!!" Amanda shrieked. She ran back to the hot springs and looked at her reflection. Sure enough she had her human ears, and her fangs and claws were gone also. "I don't want to be human. . ." She moaned when she got back to camp.
"No wonder you looked a little bit funny." Bridget said, crossing her arms. Amanda hmphed. She glanced at Inuyasha from the corner of her eye. He was just staring at the campfire with a deep thoughtful expression. There was a hint of sadness about him. "Miroku. . .did something happen during one of his times of weaknesses?" Bridget asked. Miroku shrugged.
"If it did happen, he didn't tell me." Miroku stated. Shippou jumped on to Bridget's lap.
"Yes something did happen, and I was there." Shippou said puffing his chest out proudly. Bridget ruffled his hair.
"Well then what happened?" She asked. Shippou seemed to shrink a little.
"We were tricked in to spending the night at a temple. There was a girl there that hated demons. Inuyasha didn't tell anybody that that night was his time of weakness so he couldn't smell the spider heads. They attacked us. . .eventually Inuyasha was trapped and bitten by the Giant Spiderhead, we all thought that Inuyasha was going to die. . .but he survived with Kagome's help. It was a really sappy moment with them. . ." Shippou explained. Bridget sighed.
"Hey Amanda. . .why don't you get your self killed so Inuyasha could have another dead girl friend. . .because you are liable to be brought back to life." Raylin whispered. . .a little too loud because every one turned their heads to look at her. Amanda growled in her throat. She grabbed a water pail that they had brought with them.
"I'm going to go get some more water. . ." Amanda said. Bridget stood up.
"I'll come along." Bridget said, running after Amanda. When they were out of hearing range, Amanda relaxed.
"Why can't Raylin ever keep her big mouth shut?!" Amanda said. Bridget shrugged. "Don't you sometimes wish that what was happening wasn't and that it was only a dream?"
Bridget sighed and nodded. "I know exactly what you mean. It's hard."
"It's hard to know that your boyfriend has two dead girl friends and he will never tell me his feelings or what he's thinking. Shoot. . .I just about keel over ever other day when he gets hurt and just about dies. . .damn it. . .and I can't do anything to protect him." Amanda said, shaking her head. Bridget thought that she saw tears for a second. "I know he has lead a hard lifetime but. . ." Bridget held up her hand, stopping them in their tracks.
"Something's following us. . ." She whispered. Amanda cursed her human ears and tried to strain her hearing so that she could help. "It's too slow to be one of our group. . .LOOK OUT!" Bridget shouted. Streams of webbing shot out from the trees. Amanda threw the bucket at one of the tree's branches where she thought that she saw a shadow move. The bucket hit something and toppled out of the tree. It was a spider like demon with a sword in one of its many hands.
A bluish tint crept onto Amanda's face. "God, I hate spiders." She moaned. The spider opened its mouth and webs shot out. Bridget jumped in front of Amanda and whipped out her sword and sliced it in half. She then turned to Amanda who was covered in webbing. "I think we should go. . ." Amanda said raising her arms at shoulder length so that the webbing hung in midair. There was the sound of many feet moving in their direction. "Lets. . .go. . .please." Amanda said practically begged.
Bridget and Amanda ran back to camp. "We have a problem." Bridget announced. Inuyasha leapt to his feet. "I think I have found a new meaning to arachnophobia"
"You led the spiderheads to camp?!" Inuyasha asked, raising his voice a fraction of an inch. Amanda clenched her fists.
"What do you think we should have done? Just have stayed out there and let the spiderheads just eat us for crying out loud?!" Amanda shouted, bearing her teeth.
"I didn't mean it that way." Inuyasha snapped. Amanda crossed her arms.
"Then what did you mean?" Amanda mumbled. Raylin stepped in between them.
"Sorry to stop ya'll's little feud, but, um we got a whole army of spiderheads headed this way, and for your information. . .I HATE SPIDERS!" Raylin shouted. Amanda and Inuyasha fell over.
"Ok, we get the picture. . ." Bridget said, rubbing her head. They quickly abandoned camp to the protests of Kouten who had to leave her half- eaten ramen noodles. They weren't but 200 feet from their camp when the ground beneath them blew out from under them. Everyone landed on their feet except Amanda who totally landed on her face.
"Okay. . .now I know what it means to be -sat-." Amanda mumbled as she pulled herself out from the ground. She turned around to see a HUGE spiderhead. . .most likely their leader.
Author's Note-*answering machine comes on*
Amanda: Um. . .guys?
Raylin: What?
Amanda:I seem to have absolutely nothing to put on the answering machine that sounds witty or funny. . .
Raylin: What happened to the script we gave you?
Bridget: Um, guys. . .Kouga has gotten into my set of pencils and is now scribbling on everything in sight. . .
Raylin: *looks over at the scribbled on script* . . .Dammit. . .Well. . .just tell them to review and that may work. . .
Amanda: Okay. Please review. We will try to update soon if our updater isn't too lazy. *threateningly* She'd better not be. . .
Bridget: Meep. . .
Kisike: So review at the sound of the screams in the background.
Raylin: There's no screams in the background. . .
Kisike: *puts on this evil homicidal voice* Heheh. . .not yet. . .
*beep sounds*
Inuyasha froze. "Ki-Kikyo?" he stammered.
"Yeah."
"How did you find out about Kikyo. . .?" he asked.
"I met her. . .temporarily. It was in the pond."
"The pond?"
"Yeah. I was taken to the past when you got pinned to a tree." Amanda explained. "I want to know if you really destroyed that village, killed Kikyo, and stole the Shikon No Tama."
"I. . .I. . ." Inuyasha stammered. He looked away. "I didn't do all of it." He responded.

"Because. I'm going to defeat Inuyasha and cut everybody's ears off." Sigaru replied.

But what they saw was not at all what they expected to see. Kisike was the first one to speak. She burst out laughing and exclaimed, "Oh my god! It's the pool of the drowning girl!"

"And what's the curse?"
"Cold water, you're a girl. Hot water, you're a boy."
"Oh, greeeat. . ." Sigaru moaned.
Bridget shrugged.
Sigaru jumped up. "Well then, I'll just have to find some place with hot water." She turned to Inuyasha. "Don't you forget. We still have a fight to finish. I will defeat you, Inuyasha, if it's the last thing I do."
"Fine. Train all you like. You'll never defeat me." Inuyasha replied, smirking.

They attacked us. . .eventually Inuyasha was trapped and bitten by the Giant Spiderhead, we all thought that Inuyasha was going to die. . .but he survived with Kagome's help. It was a really sappy moment with them. . ." Shippou explained. Bridget sighed.
"Hey Amanda. . .why don't you get your self killed so Inuyasha could have another dead girl friend. . .because you are liable to be brought back to life." Raylin whispered. . .a little too loud because every one turned their heads to look at her. Amanda growled in her throat. She grabbed a water pail that they had brought with them.
"I'm going to go get some more water. . ." Amanda said. Bridget stood up.
"I'll come along." Bridget said, running after Amanda. When they were out of hearing range, Amanda relaxed.
"Why can't Raylin ever keep her big mouth shut?!" Amanda said. Bridget shrugged. "Don't you sometimes wish that what was happening wasn't and that it was only a dream?"
Bridget sighed and nodded. "I know exactly what you mean. It's hard."
"It's hard to know that your boyfriend has two dead girl friends and he will never tell me his feelings or what he's thinking. Shoot. . .I just about keel over ever other day when he gets hurt and just about dies. . .damn it. . .and I can't do anything to protect him." Amanda said, shaking her head. Bridget thought that she saw tears for a second. "I know he has lead a hard lifetime but. . ." Bridget held up her hand, stopping them in their tracks.
"Something's following us. . ." She whispered. Amanda cursed her human ears and tried to strain her hearing so that she could help. "It's too slow to be one of our group. . .LOOK OUT!" Bridget shouted. Streams of webbing shot out from the trees. Amanda threw the bucket at one of the tree's branches where she thought that she saw a shadow move. The bucket hit something and toppled out of the tree. It was a spider like demon with a sword in one of its many hands.
A bluish tint crept onto Amanda's face. "God, I hate spiders." She moaned. The spider opened its mouth and webs shot out. Bridget jumped in front of Amanda and whipped out her sword and sliced it in half. She then turned to Amanda who was covered in webbing. "I think we should go. . ." Amanda said raising her arms at shoulder length so that the webbing hung in midair. There was the sound of many feet moving in their direction. "Lets. . .go. . .please." Amanda said practically begged.
Bridget and Amanda ran back to camp. "We have a problem." Bridget announced. Inuyasha leapt to his feet. "I think I have found a new meaning to arachnophobia"
"You led the spiderheads to camp?!" Inuyasha asked, raising his voice a fraction of an inch. Amanda clenched her fists.
"What do you think we should have done? Just have stayed out there and let the spiderheads just eat us for crying out loud?!" Amanda shouted, bearing her teeth.
"I didn't mean it that way." Inuyasha snapped. Amanda crossed her arms.
"Then what did you mean?" Amanda mumbled. Raylin stepped in between them.
"Sorry to stop ya'll's little feud, but, um we got a whole army of spiderheads headed this way, and for your information. . .I HATE SPIDERS!" Raylin shouted. Amanda and Inuyasha fell over.
"Ok, we get the picture. . ." Bridget said, rubbing her head. They quickly abandoned camp to the protests of Kouten who had to leave her half- eaten ramen noodles. They weren't but 200 feet from their camp when the ground beneath them blew out from under them. Everyone landed on their feet except Amanda who totally landed on her face.
"Okay. . .now I know what it means to be -sat-." Amanda mumbled as she pulled herself out from the ground. She turned around to see a HUGE spiderhead. . .most likely their leader.
