"We need to get some sleep, Inuyara. We've been walking all day, and it's getting late." Saroko said, dropping her heavy backpack to the ground. "Stop whining, woman. This is why it's foolish to travel with humans, Inuyara." Sesshomarai said, pointing at the exhausted Saroko. "Leave her alone! I'm kind of tired, too, Saroko. I think getting some sleep would be a good idea." Inuyara said, glaring at Sesshomarai. "Thank you, Inuyara. I'll start setting up camp." Saroko said, smiling at him. She was just amazed that Inuyara was able to hold himself back this time. Throughout the day, Inuyara and Sesshomarai had been at each others throats, and Saroko had to seperate them a countless amount of times. "He's really getting better." Saroko thought to herself, looking over at Inuyara with a smile plastered to her face. "Why in the hell is the woman staring at you, Inuyara? If you two want some time alone to pro-create, than I'll gladly go sleep somewhere else." Sesshomarai said with a grin. Inuyara and Saroko both turned beet red, amusing the evil demon greatly. "Shut the hell up! We don't do THAT! I have no desire to do THAT at all right now!" Inuyara said, looking as if steam would shoot out of his ears at any second. "Oh, really? You don't think you would enjoy doing THAT with me?" Saroko said, embarassed but still feeling stung by Inuyara's words. "Um, no, that's not what I was saying...." Inuyara mumbled. "What were you saying, then, Inuyara?" Sesshomarai said, trying to hold back a laugh. He was really getting a kick out of this! "SHUT UP, YOU STUPID PIECE OF #$% &%$#$ !" Inuyara yelled to Sesshomarai. "My, my, Inuyara, you really should watch your language. There's children around!" Sesshomarai said sarcastically, pointing at the small kitsune that was sitting close to Saroko. Inuyara's hand went down to the Tetsusaiga latched to his side, and Sesshomarai decided that he wasn't in the mood for a fight. "I'll go sleep further in the forest. I'll rejoin you in the morning. Good night, dog-turd!" Sesshomarai said, jumping off through the trees. When he had disappeared from sight, Inuyara sighed and sat down next to Saroko. "I didn't mean that, Saroko. I was just embarassed, that's all." He said, trying to shove any thoughts about Sesshomarai out of his mind. "I know. Let's just try to get some rest, okay?" Saroko said, smiling at him as she ran her hand across his arm. With that, they both laid down in their sleeping bags, ready for the peace and quiet that was sleep.
"Wake the hell up! The sun's been up for hours!" Sesshomarai yelled, standing over the still-asleep forms of Inuyara, Saroko, and Shippo. "Uggghhh. What the hell do you want?" Inuyara said sleepily. "We need to go do some training. We'll never get stronger if we don't find a good spot to spar with each other!" Sesshomarai said, frustrated by his new allies laziness. "We don't need to get stronger. If we all work together, we shouldn't have a problem beating Kiaku." Inuyara said, sitting up and wiping the sleep out of his eyes. "Of course we need to get stronger! That monster has half of the Shikon Jewel! Who knows how he's going to use it?" Sesshomarai snarled. "Yeah, that's true. I guess we should train a little, Inuyara." Saroko said, sitting up. Shippo got up as well. Who could sleep through all of that commotion? "See, Inuyara? Even the human agrees with me." Sesshomarai said triumphantly. "I have a name, you know. Call me Saroko." She said, glaring at Sesshomarai. "Um, sure, Saroko." He said, a trace of fear in his voice. "Who would have thought that humans could be scary?" Sesshomarai thought to himself. "Fine, we'll go find a spot to 'train'. I guess I need to sharpen my skills a little, anyways." Inuyara grumbled, unhappy that Saroko was agreeing with Sesshomarai. With that, the four unlikely allies began their trek once again to find a suitable training ground.
"You're still holding our half of the jewel, right Saroko?" Inuyara asked. "Yeah, it's here around my neck." She replied, showing him the necklace with the jewel attached. "Good." Inuyara replied, looking ahead to make sure Sesshomarai (who had run ahead) hadn't heard. They continued walking for what seemed like hours (but was actually more like 30 minutes), and finally Sesshomarai came running back towards his new allies. "I've found a good spot. Follow me." Sesshomarai said, leading them to his spot. When they arrived, Inuyara was surprised by how good of a spot Sesshomarai had found. It was flat over much of the area, perfect for regular combat. It was also well-secluded by trees, so it would be difficult for anyone to interfere with their training. "Well, let's get to training!" Inuyara said, a grin on his face. Now THIS was what he had been waiting for (a chance to 'spar' with Sesshomarai)! They took turns sparring, with Inuyara sparring against Sesshomarai (which was a little rougher than Saroko would have liked), Inuyara sparring against Saroko (she kicked his butt, but he was holding back because he didn't want to hurt her), and Saroko sparring against Sesshomarai (she also kicked his butt, probably because he was afraid of her and of what Inuyara might do if he was to have hurt her.) "Hah! Looks like you boys need to work on your fighting skills a bit more!" Saroko said, looking down at her battered and bruised allies. "Yeah, we sure do." They said in unison, both letting out sighs. Just as Inuyara and Sesshomarai were about to spar with each other again (that's where the REAL fun was, after all), a strange demon appeared in front of them. "What the are you?" Inuyara asked, looking at the demon, which had a strange power emanating from it. "That is no ordinary demon, Inuyara. There's something different about it." Sesshomarai said, getting into his battle stance. "You're right, half-breed. The name's Ryodia. My master Kiaku told me to come here and have some fun with you guys." The demon sneered. "Inuyara? This demon has a shard of the jewel in his head! I don't know how, but I can see it!" Saroko said nervously. "What? A SHARD of the jewel? That means..... Kiaku broke the half of the jewel!" Inuyara said angrily. "That means that we should expect a lot more trouble than just this demon." Sesshomarai said with a sigh.
Kiaku broke half of the jewel into shards! How many shards? Where are they all? Is he forming some type of ultra-powerful demon army to battle Inuyara and co.? You'll have to keep reading to find out! Please REVIEW!!!!!!!!!! Tonyf
