Disclaimer: Inuyasha and all its characters are not mine. All of you should know better by now. Shame shame shame (

ok dudes, like I said, this is going on to follow inuyasha for a chapter or two. Im not quite sure how many chapters so just bare with me and go with the flow. That's it. Back to the story. == k.m.

In the small village of Kaede, a demon wanders through-out each of the huts. It is very deep into the night and it seems the demon is searching for something. As it comes unto the hut where the six tired group members rest, it finds out it is not the only one awake.

"Who's out there?"

This remark is made by the one and only Inuyasha. He senses someone is outside but all of his companions are resting near him.

"I'm warning you, you better leave this place before I rip that demon head off of the shoulders it rests on."

As soon as he said that, the demon stopped peaking into the hut and high- tailed it out of there. Inuyasha couldn't tell who it was, but by the lack of blood in the air he figured the demon didn't harm any of the villagers. Besides, he had just gotten back from a long time away. He was too tired to worry about petty little scavenger demons at the time being.

Inuyasha lay in the corner for a while longer. After giving up on the punk to come back, he fell asleep with his sword in his arms and his ears constantly twitching.

Next morning after everyone had awoken and put there bedding aside, Inuyasha found himself sniffing around the village for that demon. He figured it would be long gone, since of course he was soooo intimidating (insert sarcasm here!) , but he might as well find out a good idea of what it was looking for.

"Inuyasha, what are you doing?"

"sniff-sniff.....nothing"

"Well it looks like something to me. You've been acting weird since you woke up."

"Just leave me alone Kagome. I don't need you lecturing me right now."

"INUYASHA SIT BOY!!!"

The second she said that, there appeared before the future girl, a half breed dog with his face 6 inches deep in the dirt and a horde of mumbled words trying to make their way out of the ground.

"Oh Inuyasha, you're such a jerk. I'm just trying to figure out what you were doing out here and tell you that our breakfast will be delayed."

In a slowly rising tone, Inuyasha voice grew very angry.

"What did you say about BREAKFAST???"

"Ummm....Well, Miroku got distracted when he was fishing. He says he saw some kind of a river nymph wandering around. When he came back he had that look in his eyes."

"You mean that stuck on, perverted look he gets when we pass by pretty girls?"

"Yeah, that's the one."

Inuyasha sat on the ground with his head on his left hand and looked like he was hard in thought. Kagome thought that was extremely weird for him.

"Umm what are you doing?"

"Kagome", he looked up at her in a curious way, "Which way is the river the idiot was at?"

"Umm I believe it was over in your forest on the way to the mountains. I'm pretty sure that's where it was."

"You know what Kagome, I think I might try to go fishing. Later."

The instance he finished his sentence, he got off the ground and bounded off in the rivers direction. Kagome just stared as he wandered out off site and wondered why he was going over there. What a pathetic excuse.

Around the corner came a curious man in purple and black.

"Kagome, have you seen Inuyasha around?"

"EEK........huff huff huff"

Kagome jumped off the ground, startled by the young monks' sudden appearance.

"Oh I'm sorry to have startled you. I didn't know you were so hard in thought."

"Ohhh Miroku it's just you. Umm oh Inuyasha, he went to that river you just came back from. Probably to find that nymph you were talking about earlier. He's so inconsiderate. I think he might be hanging around you too long."

Miroku just stared at her in the most hurtful face he could muster.

"Why Kagome, I didn't know you could be so cold. I don't think I hang around him enough to give him a lust like mine."

Miroku put on his devilish charm and wrapped his right arm around Kagome's shoulders. Kagome gave him a quick glance and while rolling her eyes at him, pushed his waaay too close face away from hers.

"Miroku, that was so wrong it wasn't even funny."

Unwrapping his arm from the obviously not amused girl, Miroku glanced over in the direction of the river.

"Excuse me Kagome, I must go see what he is going to do."

"You mean look for your mystery girl."

"Heh, you know me too well."

Miroku took off running in the direction of the river after Inuyasha. His lust filled look came back in seconds and a giant smile came to his face. Then he remembered he might want to have a better excuse for Sango when she came looking for him. Miroku turned around, and as he ran backwards his hands went flying through the air.

"KAGOME, DO YOU MIND NOT TELLING SANGO WHERE I AM OFF TOO. THANK YOU!!!!"

"WHAT DO I TELL HER???"

"ANYTHING BUT THE NYMPH GIIIiiirl....."

He was finally out of site. Kagome could do nothing but obey what was told. If he wanted to keep Sango out of the loop, it must be for good reason. But she couldn't imagine why she would even care.

At the river...........

Miroku caught up with Inuyasha with not too much difficulty. Inuyasha was just curious but he knew Miroku was here for more 'action' than anything else.

"Why the hell did you have to come?"

"Why Inuyasha, I thought you would be happy to have my company in your secret quest."

"Don't pull any of that crap on me Miroku. I'm here because last night there was a demon wandering around the village. You're here because you're just as horny as ever about your mystery woman."

"Why does everyone think I am here just for the girl?"

"Because we're all right." Inuyasha gave off a slight snarl and gave a pissed off look towards the pervert.

As they moved along the brush Miroku didn't say another word. They were all right but he was partly curious too. How could they all think that was the only reason why he went along?

As they neared a cliff, both the guys could hear a waterfall up ahead. It didn't sound too high but there didn't seem to be as much water hitting the river below as there should have been. That's when they heard it. The most beautiful singing voice they have ever heard. Inuyasha was more curious about the person than the actual song but Miroku was taken aback by its wonder. He started to move closer to the voice without even realizing it. They finally came up to a giant boulder that was on the edge of the water and decided to take a look at where the voice was coming from.

On the other side of the boulder, under a rushing waterfall, was a woman bathing herself. She had beautiful silver hair that had just the slightest hint of black highlights and went half way down her back. She had a silver tail that looked like a wolf's tail to match her hair that hung down over her buttocks and into the water. The water came up to just about the top of her thighs. She had no clothes on except for a necklace that hung long enough to where a pendant was placed nicely between the top of her breasts. She also seemed to wear a ring that shined in the sunlight if she positioned herself just right. The girl ran her fingers through her hair and continuously turned around under the water as it washed her clean of all filth she might have had. The longer she stayed under the water, the lighter her skin became until she was nothing but a beautifully white color with absolutely no visible blemishes the men could find. (AN. How close were they looking anyways???)

As they laid there in the rising sun, they both felt their cheeks grow extremely red but they could neither turn away nor stop staring. They just couldn't resist her beauty or the voice that matched. They both stared with mouths open as she did one more turn until she faced their direction. She lowered her head until she had perfect posture and her eyes opened. What lovely eyes she had indeed. The eyes were an uncanny color of green blue that appeared to be more clear than a color at all. They were also big but narrow and pointed slightly upward at the ends. Her lashes were very long and gave an enticing trance to both the males. Then suddenly they stopped looking at her and actually looked at her. She seemed to be staring at them. OHH SHIT!!!!

When the guys finally realized this they tried to scurry back into the forest but were suddenly stopped. In the instance they had taken their eyes away from her, she had practically appeared out of nowhere and was now standing in front of them. All they could do was stare at her. Not only for just surprise, but she apparently had no teachings in proper appearances. She stood there, naked! They couldn't believe her. She was faster than anything they have ever encountered before and the least decent person they have ever seen before.

"Well hello there my little snakes in the grass. Or should I say peepers on the rock?"

Her voice was not very girly but wasn't deep either. She had a very strong and intimidating voice. She stared at them with those big clear eyes, awaiting an answer. She didn't even seem to notice that she was in the nude, like she did this all of the time.

"Umm I'm sorry there miss, we were lost and-"

"No you weren't. I saw you both sleeping in that hut last night not too far away from here. Hmmm you threatened me if I do remember correctly."

Her long, slender finger ran across Inuyasha's neck and if he had moved, her claw would have surely of cut him. Normally he would be bitching her out but he was still taken aback not only by her current appearance, but how she got there so fast.

"You on the other hand, were sleeping like an angel in your little corner. I do think I saw you with a grin on your face. What were you dreaming about young one?"

"Uhhhhh"

That was all Miroku could say. He had a beautiful and potentially dangerous demon woman standing in front of him. His dreams and fears were so mixed up he couldn't say anything else.

Finally Inuyasha was brought back to reality and decided to take action. While she was busy with Miroku he jumped up and rolled on top of her. They went rolling down the boulder struggling to be the one on top in the end.

As they reached the ground, Inuyasha fought hard to be the one holding her down. When he seemed to have finally won, he was sitting on her lower abdomen with his hands nailing her wrists to the ground. As she struggled to get free he had a chance to sniff her.

"sniff-sniff.....sniff-sniff"

"What the hell do you think you are doing to her Inuyasha?"

Miroku came sliding down from the boulder shocked to see what Inuyasha was doing. Usually it would be him trying a stunt like that on her.

"Shut up Miroku. She was the demon that came to the village last night. I'm sure of it."

"Well well, it seems I have underestimated your strength little pup."

"WHAT!!!! YOU'RE MY AGE YOU IGNORANT BITCH!!!!"

"Inuyasha!!??!!"

The girl put on a very careless look and turned to face the handsome monk.

"It's all right, what was it? Miroku? He hasn't harmed me. But he is right. I am pretty young myself. I just hold myself in such high regard I tend to forget sometimes."

The demons tail went up and smacked Inuyasha on the middle of his back. She hit him so hard that it seemed her tail was more a whip than a tail. Inuyasha's teeth started to grind as he got off of her and started to reach for his back. Miroku moved closer toward the demon as she smiled at Inuyasha with a mischievous grin.

"Might I be of some assistance my lady?"

"No thank you. I can very well help myself up."

The demon jumped up in one swift movement, you could barely tell if she flew up or just appeared to be standing the whole time. Miroku could only stare at her body and movements long enough to be recognized that he was.

"Oh snap out of it. You've seen a girl unclothed before, haven't you?" She then moved with that same swiftness over to Miroku's side. She started to tap the rings on his staff in a playfully kitten matter. The action along with the little bell sound entranced Miroku and he was once again staring where he shouldn't have been.

"I'm sorry to have stared but your beauty is incomprehensible. I have never seen a demon such as yourself before. What, may I ask, kind of a demon are you?"

"Why I just happen to be a-"

"HEY DID YA'LL JUST FORGET ABOUT ME????? MIROKU DON'T TALK TO THE ENEMY!!!"

"Oh don't be such a nag, pup, I am not going to harm either one of you."

"THAN WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THE VILLAGE LAST NIGHT??? HUH ANSWER THAT!!!"

Inuyasha darted an accusing finger at her as his voice seemed to be getting a little too loud for her taste.

"I just got bored and decided to see if there was anything to do in that village. Apparently there was, as I have found you two. Ohhhh this is going to be great fun!"

The demon started to jump up and down, causing both men to blush excitingly.

"Umm yeah well would you at least put some clothes on. Sheesh, the monk is starting to get all mesmerized."

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realize you two would embarrass so easily."

When she said that, she walked even closer to Miroku and started to give him hugs and nuzzle his nose with hers. Miroku didn't know how to react to this and just gave the biggest smile he had ever given in his life.

"Will you stop it. He looks like he's gonna faint because of you."

Inuyasha took off his fire rat jacket and threw it on the girl. She decided that even though she was used to being nude, other people might not be. She thought decency was the best thing right now. So, reluctantly, she covered herself with the big jacket and slapped Miroku out of his daze.

"Huh what huh???"

"Welcome back cutie pie."

"Umm hello there."

She turned away from Miroku and back to Inuyasha and figured out the sweetest, pathetic look she could come up with.

"So.....what are you going to do with me?"

"DO WITH YOU??"

"Well yes, you did find me after all. I only assumed you would take in a stray while you were at it. That's all I have seen in your little hut last night. You have two orphans, a weakling human woman, and some wanna-be cat thing. Isn't that correct? Well, I say why not another?"

"Oh yes I say why not indeed."

"MIROKU!!!! We can't take her in."

"Why can't we. I mean look at her. A little...uhh...what demon are you again?"

"A cat."

"Yes a ca-........."

Miroku turns to look at her. His eyes become narrow and seem to try to study her appearance.

"A cat demon? Really? You don't look like one I have seen before. You look more....I don't know......something else than cat."

"Does that make you like me any less?"

"Ohhhh no no no no no. Of course not. Heh heh heh" Miroku gave a big dorky smile and scratched the back of his head.

"Than lets go!! Last one to the village is an ugly rat demon!!!!"

The demon started her way to the village with the fire rat jacket still on her. The boys looked at each other and back at the girl. Inuyasha had a very suspicious look on his face while Miroku, on the other hand, looked like this was just some wonderful dream he was having and nothing was out of place. The guys started to go after her towards the village.

At the village.......

"Kagome, where have the boys gone off to? We have prepared our lunch by now and they still aren't back yet. Where did you say they went off to again?"

"Ummm they went to.....the woods? Heh heh"

Sweat started to form on Kagomes brow as she hoped Sango wouldn't ask any further than that.

"That sounded more like a question than an actual answer to me. What has happened to them?"

"Uhhh.........."

Just as Kagome was trying to get out of this conversation, Sango grabbed her Hiraikotsu just as the mysterious cat demon was wandering inside.

"WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT?"

"Calm down girl, no need to get all excited over me."

The demon flew her hands up in the 'I surrender' pose and gave Sango and Kagome the sweetest smile she could muster. As the smile was being given, Inuyasha came running in with Miroku hot on his trail.

"Damn girl, huff-huff you run fast."

"Yes, huff-huff, you are quite the runner."

Sango looked back and forth between the girl and the men. She couldn't understand what was going on.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Inuyasha, is this that demon you were looking for?" Kagome pointed a wary finger at the demon that already acted as if she owned the place.

Both of the girls gave Inuyasha and Miroku some very cold stares, awaiting their answers. Then they overlooked the demon girl and saw what she was wearing. At that moment they gave Inuyasha and even harder stare.

Kagome began in a very preppy voice, "Inuyasha, do you notice what this girl is wearing? Hmmm?"

Inuyasha looked over at the demon and realized she still had his jacket on. His eyes grew wide with the realization of where this conversation was going."Eeep.....well you see girls-"

"Yes it's not what you girls think. Inuyasha has done no wrong doing here."

"Are these all of your companions? I could have sworn I saw a fox and cat here last night."

The demon started to look around the place with no seemingly knowledge that the girls were filling the air with so much hostility, you would be crazy to even walk in the hut.

"Excuse me, but you must be the demon hunter. And you the....oh what was it.....reincarnation chick. Right?"

"How do you know who I am demon?"

Sangos attitude had still not changed but was beginning to be more curious as to how the demon knew who she and Kagome were.

"Ohh I've been around. And please don't call me demon. My name is Akiko. I am sorry for the intrusion though. I didn't mean to startle you."

Inuyasha thought this was kind of weird. Miroku thought this was going lovely. If the girls liked her, she could join there gang and he would be surrounded by beautiful women.

"Inuyasha", Kagome said this in her sweetest voice. Which was actually kind of scary. "What is 'Akiko' doing wearing your jacket?"

"Umm well heh heh I can explain that."

"He gave it to me after I was done bathing. I have never been very modest so Inu-chan gave me his jacket to cover up with."

"He WHAT!!!???!!!"

Kagome was now furious. What was Inuyasha doing with a demon while she was bathing. This would not stand. She glanced over at Sango for guidance but found she was staring coldly at Miroku. If Inuyasha found this woman nude, Miroku had to have seen the same site. Sango wasn't too thrilled about this sudden discovery.

"Ohh Miroku, what was occupying your eyes at the time of all this happening?"

"Why Sango, I'm hurt. I wouldn't do such a thing as stare at a body abandoned by its clothing. How could you even thing of such a thing?"

"Why Miroku dear, you were staring. A bit too frequently if I might add."

SSSSSMMMMMAAAACCCCCKKKKKK AAAAACCCCCKKKKK AAACCCKKK

Sango slapped Mirokus' face so hard, the impact echoed in a place almost impossible for one to occur. Sango stormed out of the hut with her hand throbbing and her eyes trembling underneath her soft lashes.

"I can't believe you just did that Miroku. Sango trusted you and you go off and break her in two."

Kagome lowered her head and shook it in shame at his idiocy. Then she looked back up and stared at Inuyasha.

"And you. I don't want you to talk to me for a while."

And that's all she said before storming out after Sango. That was all Kagome could say. And that's all she needed to hear from him for a while.
