"Rinu! Rinu!"

Rinu's deep purple eyes slowly fluttered open only to come face-to-face with a pint sized flea. She yelped in suprise and stood up off the ground incredibly quickly, causing Myoga to slip and fall onto the hard forest floor.

"Myoga! What do you think you're doing?!" Rinu scolded the flea in a hushed voice, glaring at him. Myoga climbed back up her long silken robe to sit on her left shoulder.

"Where's Inuyasha?" He asked in his squeeky little voice, completely ignoring Rinu's previous statement. Rinu rolled her eyes.

"What? Not even a 'Hello Rinu!' or 'Good Morning'? Jeez, you are too kind? Waking me up like that. Bloody insect." She quietly snapped once more, as she stuck her nose up into the early morning air.

"Rinu, I beg for your forgiveness but I really need to know where Inuyasha is! Just tell me and I'll leave you alone, I promise, fleas honour." Myoga bargained. Rinu only sighed 'Fleas Honour? The hell?' She thought before sighing heavily.

"He's in the jail cell along with the other demons." Rinu answered the flea, rolling her eyes. Myoga's eyes seemed ready to pop out in rage at this statement, and he almost fell off Rinu's very shoulder due to shock.

"WHAT?!" He shrieked. Rinu sighed once more and shut her tired eyes.

"The villagers refused to allow Inuyasha and the other demons rest here unless they were in the jail at all times. And hush, before you wake Miroku and Sango." Rinu said, and opened one eye when she recieved no respons. She blinked The flea was gone.

"Myoga?... Myoga?"

---

Myoga hopped to the jail house as fast as he could manage. Myoga slipped easily under the jail's door and bounced around peering into empty cells, until he came across the demon's cell.

The only demon awake at this hour was Shika who looked pale and dead. She had hardly slept at all.

"Myoga? Oh no.. I do not need THIS now..." Shika sighed in tired voice, quietly as so not to awake her fellow in-mates.

Myoga ran into the cell, and made a 'flea'-line for Inuyasha, jumped up onto his dog-like nose, and started poking him harshly and yelling his name repeatedly, both proved to get no result. Finally, Myoga realized that this was not going to work, he jumped down to InuYasha's neck, and began to suck his delicious blood.

"Ow!" Inuyasha yawned as he moved his soft silver hair out of the way to to rub his painful neck.

When he felt more than just his neck, he cocked his

"MYOGA! WHERE WERE YOU?!" Inuyasha screamed, squishing the flea and awaking the other's still slumbering in the process. Ruru and Sesshoumaru had indentical looks on their faces, whilst Shippou and Kirara both seemed a little confused as to what was going on.

"Inuyasha, where do you think he was?" Ruru asked, supressing a huge yawn.

"You ran away again. You little pest. You should really get out of here, before I swuish you like the bug you are." Inuyasha growled, turning his nose into the air. "Feh. Stupid flea."

"Jeez, Myoga, you really seem to piss Inuyasha off." Ruru added, smirkingly.

Myoga was about to retort when a guard stepped in front of their cell door. He was a short man, Sesshoumaru sized him up and decided that he couldn't be taller than five feet. His hair was dark and his eyes were brown. He seemed fairly pale in the dim light provided by the one tiny window in the dingy cell. The only thing that really matter about this man was that in his hands were the jail keys.

He glared at each of the demons in turn, hatred evident in his eyes They all glared back. This went on for a couple of minutes before the guard decided to speak.

"Your... human companions are ready to leave." He said slowly, unlocking and opening the thickly barred cell door. Inuyasha threw the gaurd a look of utmost hate as they stalked out of the jail. They were immediately surrounded by guards. Once out of the dark jail house they had to rub their sensitive eyes, for they needed to adjust to the seemingly harsh sunlight.

No doubt, the first thing they saw properly was indeed their human friends. Quick as a flash., Rinu had her arms wrapped around Shika and Ruru. Strange looks were exchanged between the non-hugging individuals, but this passed. They were soon on their way again, angry mob of villagers, fire, spears and all.

"Well, nice to know we're loved..." Shika muttered sarcastically.
---

They had gotten away from the village unscathed, and were once again walking down a path through the forest.

Shika was still wickedly tired. She hadn't slept a wink... But the worst of it was she kept nodding off while walking nearly collapsing twice. It had been nice to have Shippou curled up with her, but still, it hadn't helped her sleep well. She'd close her eyes, but then get the creepy feeling she was being watched. Shika had opened her eyes many times, and scanned the cramped cell to find InuYasha, Sesshomaru, Ruru, Shippou and Kirara all seemingly asleep. It really gave her the creeps. She'd wished InuYasha was awake, so she could ask him if he got the same feeling...

When she finally did actually fall, recluctantly, asleep, she woke not three minutes later by Inuyasha yelling.

InuYasha had barely slept either... Unknowingly, he had the same feeling of being watched. He pretended to be asleep, but the feeling was getting to him.

Little did the half demons know, they were getting this feeling from each other.

The night spent in the hut, with the humans had certainly been more eventful. Rinu had problems getting to sleep, but not because she had someone watching her but because the lercherous monk had been trying to make it to second all night. Miroku hadd earned quite the crop of lumps. Sango had slept well, despite Kagome's snoring.

"Rinu...?" Ruru asked cautiously.

"Yes?" Rinu asked, curious as to why Ruru sounded so nervous.

"Isn't this they way back to our old village...?" Ruru finished, rubbing the back of her neck.

Rinu stopped suddenly as she realized that the cat youkai was right. Damn.

She ran up to Inuyasha, who was leading the way, Shika and Sango close on his heels.

Rinu took a deep breath. "InuYasha we CAN NOT go this way."

"We can and we will." InuYasha said, not even looking at her.

"NO! No we can't!" Rinu pleaded, knowing this may nt get her very far.

"What's wrong with going this way Rinu?" Sango piped up, wprried by Rinu's plee.

"What could be wrong? It's just another village." Kagome said, and continued with a sigh, " Not like we haven't been to about a hundred million of them before."

Ruru grabbed her Rinu's arm and pulled her along.

"C'mon, Rinu!" Ruru told her friend as they continued along.

Rinu dug her heels into the ground, halting the group once more.

"IT WON'T! You and I both know what happened there!" she exclaimed, near tears. Ruru sighed.

"Yes, I do, and so does Shika! C'mon, just... don't worry about it!" Ruru bargained. "Wouldn't it be nice to see your friends and family again? I'm sure they'd be happy to see you."

Though she knew the village wasn't exactly happy with her, after what had gone on. Evne though she had done nothing wrong. She figured that bring a hord of demons into town, along with an incredibly indecent monk, wouldn't make them any happier. Not at all.

"Well... Alright. Fine." Rinu finally gave in, knowing InuYasha would not.

---

"This sucks." Shika said, as she sat on yet another lumpy jail bed.

They had entered the village to angry shouts from 'Loving Fans' of Rinu. The pals of course, knew exactly why.

After Ruru and Shika's parents were killed by demon slayers, puppets of Naraku, they had all grown up together in the forest aroun the village. The cat demon and cat hanyou roughed it ,while Rinu brought them food and other essentials. They were fast friends and always hung out and talked. Rinu had helped both of them come to terms about thier parents' demise, for the exception of the occasional death threat for Naraku.

Immediately upon passing the rustic village temple, the head priest recognized Rinu. Bad. He had waves of gaurds sent at them and even Sesshomaru had no time to react.

When theyarrived, grudingly, at the jail, they were divided into two separate cells. Kagome and Sango readily stalked into one cell while Shika, Rinu, and Ruru slowly sauntered into the other. Miroku followed Rinu while Shippou and Kirara walked into Kagome and Sango's cell.

Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru began to stalk past the guard into the cell containing the cat demons and religious types. To their dismay they were shoved towards the cell already containing Kagome, Sango, Kirara and Shippou.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Inuyasha snapped angrilly at the guard, hand resting on the handle on the Tetsusaiga.

"Get in there." The guard snapped back firmly. A low rumble escaped Inuyasha's throat.

"Hell no." He said through clenched teeth. His hand itching to whip out the Tetsusaiga and slash this insolent guard in half.
The guard shoved Inuyasha again , this time into a vacant corner. Taking this advantage Sesshomaru inoccently slipped into the cell he was headed towards before. Ruru grinned as he entered and squashed her desire to hug him.

In the corner, the guard pinned Inu and leaned in close to his sneering face.

The guard whispered, "I saw you looking at that cute girl. What was her name again? Shika.. I kinda like her.. I think maybe I'll sneak into her cell later."

Using uktra sensitive senses, Ruru, Shika and Sesshomaru had heard. Ruru and Sesshomaru knew he had gone too far. Shika's draw dropped and her face moulded domewhere between flattery and disgust.

Sesshomaru and Ruru's theories proved correct.

'Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!' InuYahsa screamed and slashed at the guard.

InuYasha glared around at the other gaurds, his eyes daring them to try to stop him next.

With no more stalling from ignorant gaurds, Inu stalked into his desired cell and placed himself to the left of Shika, sitting on the bed. After a few more threatening glances from InuYasha, and both cells were locked tight.

In the next cell Sango and Kagome looked wildly suprised about InuYasha's actions.

Kagome's shock turned to fury, and the inevitable came.

"INUYASHA ARE YOU TRYING TO GT US ALL KILLED? I DON'T THINK THE REST OF THE VILLAGE WILL APPRECIATE LOSING SOME CRUCIAL PIECE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT! YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT..."

---

Everyone slept uneasily.

Sango and Kagome barley talked at all, they merely chose a bed and laid down, backs toward each other.

Sango was at peace, but she wasn't tired at all, for whatever reason. Possibly because sleeping in a jail cell wasn't on her list of priorities.

Kagome was still furious at InuYasha... Nothing new. She fumed to herself for quite a while about what a jerk InuYasha was, but finally nodded off, Shippou at her side.

Inuyasha and Seshoumaru slept against the cold walls again.

Miroku and Rinu shared a bunk, but one thing differed tonight, Miroku wasn't being even one bit perverted. When thy crawled up on the bed, Rinu laid down, facing the wall and Miroku just laid beside her. 'He must've learned his lesson.' Rinu thought, smiling bout the previous night's antics.

Shika had insisted Ruru was still injured, and gave up the lumpy bed on the right. Ruru laid there alone thinking about how crappy it was to be in some jail for the second night in a row. Twas cold and the night air nipped through every minuscule hole in her thin blanket. She shivered.

Shika still had nowhere to sleep. Not on Rinu and Miroku's bed, no room, plus it was Miroku. You never know what he'll try. With Ruru? No that would just be weird. With a sigh of defeat Shika found a patch of dirt showered in moonlight and curled herself up into a ball for warmth. She was between InuYasha and Sesshomaru, near the wall, closer to Inu. Shika shivered feverishly.

InuYasha, had been watching her struggle to fall asleep. Shika paused in her troubles, to look at InuYasha who was watching her looking vaguely amused.

With a sigh he motioned for her to come closer, near him. After all, he could let her sleep like that. Cold and uncomfortable. What kind of gentleman would he be then?

Shika pulled herself towards him and slowly and cautiously curled back into a ball next to him, his calf against her back. He was warm. She sighed, involuntarily and slowly fell asleep, smiling. This was surprisingly more comfy than the lumpy bed she had slept on the night before.

Sesshomaru's eyes shot open. He had felt something. Not pleasant. He knew what it was. Ruru, she had shivered, and he had literally felt it. Strange. He blinked once and Ruru, shivered again. So did Sesshomaru.

He would never get to sleep, shvering every five seconds, so reluctantly, Sesshomaru walked carefully, avoiding Shika's legs. Wait? Shika was curled up with his idiot brother. What was going on here? He shook it off and continued towards Ruru.

Ruru felt a warm body next to her and Sesshoumaru's scent drafted towards her. She smiled and snuggled closer in towards his chest.

Well. Wasn't that a blast? Of course. Well, next chapter shortly.. Sorry for your inconvenience if you are not enjoying the 'romance' parts... But the Taisho brothers did have logical reasons for their actions, so don't get too mad.
