Okay, I'm sorry, but I don't think I could give you guys the link...but, if you still want to see my pictures of Ashiyuna, then just e-mail me, okay? My address should be in my profile.

Amai Kitsune: Yeah, I have the Azumanga Daioh box set. The series is great. And as for the Kouga/cat nip thing, you'll just have to wait and find out. It wouldn't spoil much if I told you, but still. Oh, and if you thought Rin was hilarious is that chapter...Let's just say that Chapter ten shouldn't disappoint you.

hi!!: Yeah, I wasn't exactly sure what is was called, but thanks for the correction.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Ranma 1/2

"Sit!"

THUD

"Damnit, Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled angrily, as he got up. Kagome gave him a harsh glare. "Stop trying to pull Neko-chan's tail, you jerk! Just leave him alone!" She ordered. "Feh. Whatever." He muttered in reply.

About an hour later, they still had no luck. -This is so stupid.- Inuyasha though. -I could do a better job sensing the jewel if I was Ashiyuna.-

As if reading his mind, Miroku took this opportunity to say, "Perhaps we should split up. Inuyasha and I could go to the town nearby and possibly gather some rumors about the sacred jewel, and the rest of you can resume your search." He finished. "Yeah," Sango replied, "good idea."

So Inuyasha and Miroku disconnected from the group, and headed towards the village. At least, that's the direction they went at first. Once they were out of the other's sight, they changed directions, and went to the river. Once they arrived, Inuyasha walked up to the edge of it, preparing to jump in. Before he got, the chance, however, Miroku pushed him.

Ashiyuna rose from the surface, spitting out water. "What the hell was that for?!" She yelled up at him. Miroku smiled. "You've done it many times to me, you know. I think it's about time I get some revenge." He said, plainly. "Why you..." Then, Ashiyuna tackled Miroku to the ground.

"Hey, why did you do that?! You got me all wet!" Korumi yelled, angrily. Ashiyuna got up, smirking. "Revenge, remember?"

Korumi sighed, and got to her feet as well. "You know, Kagome was right. You really are a jerk." She stated, simply. "Shut up." Ashiyuna ordered. Then, she gave a small tug on her rosary beads. "If it weren't for these damn things, I'd have gotten that damn cat away from her."

"Why? What's so important about that cat?" Korumi asked, blinking. "I'll tell you--no, I'll show you later." Ashiyuna replied, messing around with the beads.

"They won't come off, you know." Korumi said, as she watched her. "Isn't it only Kagome or Kaede could take them off?" She asked. "Yeah. Why is that?" Ashiyuna murmured, more to herself then to Korumi. Korumi shrugged. "I don't know. They're both priestesses, I guess."

There was no reply. Korumi gave Ashiyuna a curious glance, and raised an eyebrow. "Inuyasha?" She asked. "Say that last part again." Ashiyuna ordered. "Hm? Probably because they're both priestess. And human, for that matter." Korumi said.

Ashiyuna looked down at her beads. Kagome was a priestess. She could sense jewel shards, and use the sacred arrow. But then again, so could she. Did that make her...?

She took a deep breath, and grabbed the beads firmly with her two hands. Then, she began to raise them. Past her neck, past her nose, past her hair, and right over her head. Then, she looked at the beads that sat in her hand, and felt around her neck. They were gone.

She formed a fist around the beads, and her mouth slowly formed a smirk. Yes.

Korumi hesitated. "That's great, Inuyasha...just put them back on before you drench yourself with hot water..." She said, carefully. "Are you kidding?! Of course I won't!" She replied, happily, and threw the beads into the river. Korumi held out a hand for them, a bit surprised, but then sighed, giving up.

"All right, Ashiyuna, but you may end up regretting that..." Korumi murmured. "Regretting it? Ha! Yeah, right! Why the hell would I miss being thrown to the ground every thirty seconds?"

Korumi sighed. "True...Well, if you say so." She said, shrugging. "Anyway, let's go looking for the jewel." Korumi suggested. "Yeah, c'mon." Ashiyuna replied, and began to lead them away.

About an hour later, those beads resurfaced. But this time, they were in the hands of a little girl. It was the same girl who had given Neko-chan the name Fuzzy. This time, however, it was not only the toad who was with her. There was a very tall dog demon, and next to him was a creature with four legs and two heads.

"Sesshomaru-sama! Look what I found! Isn't it pretty?" Rin asked, running up to him, and holding up the beads.

"Throw them back, Rin." He silently commanded. Rin's eyes suddenly became watery. "But...but...but Sesshomaru-samaaa!" She whined, as though she were about to cry.

Sesshomaru looked down at her. "Throw them back." He ordered. Rin slowly walked back to the river, sniffing. She glanced over her shoulder, and found that Sesshomaru was now looking in a different direction. Then, she put on a little devilish smile, and held back the urge to giggle.

Slowly, she crept closer, until she was on the other side of Et Un(I think that's what their steed is called...). Then, she raised her hands, and put them on the creatures back, and used them to raise herself up, and sit on it's back. Then, she began to stand up, and turn around to see Sesshomaru's back about six inches from her. Rin smiled, spread out the beads, and raised them in a circle above his head.

He would probably get mad at her for this, but it was too late to turn back now. She released the beads from her grasp, and they fell down over Sesshomaru's head and onto his neck. Rin quickly got off of Et Un, and ran about six feet from him before turning to look at him again. Sesshomaru turned around. They had eye contact.

"Rin, I thought I told you to throw them away." He said, plainly. "Come on, Sesshomaru-sama! They look pretty on you!" She giggled. But, about half way through her comment, the beads around Sesshomaru's neck glowed light pink. He suddenly found himself sprinting as quickly as he could, even leaving an afterimage, towards Rin. Then, he stopped when he was no less than three inches from her.

Sesshomaru didn't say anything. What had just happened? He had lost control of his own body for a brief moment! Why?

Rin, meanwhile, began to cower in fear. "P-please, Sesshomaru-sama, don't be mad! I just wanted you to look pretty!" She said in a small voice, defending herself. Sesshomaru was still confused, though. He looked down at the beads, grabbed hold of them, and pulled them off. The problem was, they wouldn't come off. They just glowed with the same pink light they had before, preventing him from removing them. Then, he tried shooting some acid from his hands, to break them. No good. They wouldn't come off.

"Rin, where exactly did you find these?" He asked, calmly. Rin pointed to the river. "In there." She told him. Sesshomaru walked up to the edge, and looked down in it. He scanned the floor, but all he could see was rocks and sand.

"Why don't you go in?" Rin asked, giggling. "It's nice and cool!"

"That will not be necessary, Rin." He replied, turning around to look at her. Rin sighed. "Come on, Sesshomaru-sama, swimming is fun!"

Before he could reply, it happened again. The beads around his neck glowed light pink, and he darted towards Rin again, just as he did before. "Sesshomaru-samaa!" She whined, "Stop doing that! You're scaring me!"

Sesshomaru just stood there, still confused. It was the beads. They glowed before he ran towards Rin. Sesshomaru turned around, and walked about ten feet away. "Rin," He said, "repeat yourself word by word. Pause for a few seconds between each word." He ordered.

"All right." Rin said, nodding, and trying to remember what she had said earlier. "Why -- Don't -- You -- Go -- In -- It -- Is -- Nice -- And -- Cool -- Come --"

It happened again, and Sesshomaru found himself right in front of Rin. He stared down at her. Rin blinked. "C...Come?" She tried. The beads glowed light pink, but nothing happened this time. Sesshomaru angrily began to walk away.

"H-hey! Wait! What did I do? Please come back!" She called. And he did. Because it happened yet again. Rin blinked. "Come." She repeated. Then, she put on a wide smile. "Come!" She smiled even wider. "Come come come come come! Isn't that necklace great, Sesshomaru-sama?! Now you'll never have to leave me!"

Sesshomaru twitched. "Yeah...Just...Great..."
