Disclaimer: Looking, looking, looking... Nope, don't see them. I guess I don't own the IY cast after all ::sniffle::, but I do own the Irotasha cast ::maniacal laughter::.

Okay, well I'm really sorry it took so long to do this second chapter, but I'm really thankful to wishfulthinker22 and Teya Lily Yashitoda (::ahem:: yesh, and the robot) for their inspiring reviews ::wipes tear away:: and as soon as I hit 6 reviews, I'll start on another chapter! (Because that's my goal, at least 3 reviews a chapter!). Okay well, enjoy!

Chapter Two:

"Inuyasha," bellowed a familiar female voice running across a field towards the lazed hanyou leaning against the trunk of a tree. Inuyasha lifted one eyelid to see Sango looking out of breath and rushed, followed by Miroku, Shippou, and Kirara. Not knowing, nor caring, what they were so excited about, he rested his eyelid shut again.

"Wake up! We have work to do!" Sango went on. Inuyasha continued to ignore her, though. "A small village not far from here has been attacked by demons." Slightly intrigued, Inuyasha opened both eyes this time to glance up at the slayer. "And this concerns us... how?" Sango rolled her eyes impatiently, leaving Shippou to explain it. "Oh, you can be such a moron sometimes, Inuyasha!" he exclaimed, jumping onto the hanyou's head. "Even you should know by now that where there's a village massacre, there's usually a shard of the sacred jewel involved!" Inuyasha grabbed the small fox by the tail and flung him far across the open field in front of them.

"But, aren't we forgetting something?" he asked, staring at the well as he spoke. Sango and Miroku followed his gaze, and curved their mouths into a smirk. "Surely you mean someone." Miroku snickered. Inuyasha lifted himself off the ground, brushed the dirt off his kimono, and smacked Miroku on the head.

"Whatever, let's just get a move on already." He walked past the bruised monk and continued towards his other bruised friend. "Where do we go from here?"

"Uh, it's just north of here," Sango stuttered. From across the field, Sango could still hear that trademark, "Feh." She just shook her head and started northbound with Kirara, knowing the others would follow. "Come on now, Inuyasha. No need to fret over Kagome. She'll return shortly." Miroku reassured him, still rubbing the bump on his head from the earlier comment. "Shut up, monk! Not like I care or nothin'" Miroku just grinned and ran up to Sango. Inuyasha glared at him as he ran off, and then glanced at the well with a sigh. "Get up Shippou, before I really get annoyed." Shippou didn't need much more warning than that. He hopped up on his hind legs, and bounced towards the rest of the group. Disappointedly, Inuyasha took a final glance at the still vacant well before taking off with the others.

"So..." Kagome began, trying to make some contact with the familiar boy. He just glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and then looked away with his nose turned up. "Uh, what kind of music do you like?" Kagome asked nervously. Irotasha looked back at her with disgust and scoffed. "Not much variety to choose from." Kagome just stared at him and chuckled. "Right, of course not." Why was she acting so nervous around him, besides the fact that he mysteriously resembled her one and only true love. "Can I ask you a personal question?" Kagome looked up to see him staring at her again. "Uh, sure!" she giggled. He just continued to stare at her and those rapidly reddening cheeks of hers. "Are you always this stupid?" Her smile instantly faded, and her spunky fury finally surfaced.

"What did you just say? Ugh, your mother better have just been joking around when she said we were engaged, because I'd hate to have to break your neck just to get out of it!" She barked at him. She stood up, turned her back on him, and crossed her arms angrily.

"Yeah, well what makes you think I'd ever stick around long enough to let the old hag marry me to a fool?" He retorted back. She spun on her heel and walked up to him with her jaw dropped. "Did you just call me a fool? No wonder you remind me so much of another little annoyance. You're both suck jerks! The only thing that makes him slightly better than you is that when he gets my blood boiling, all I have to say 'SIT BOY', and he drops to the ground so hard it causes a global earthquake!" Thump!

Kagome blinked, and a smile began to form on her face. She spun on her heel again to see the "other jerk" she had just been talking about. "Oh Inuyasha, it's you! You've come to rescue me from this monster, haven't you?" She exclaimed running to his side. Inuyasha pushed himself up and out of the indent he had left after collapsing into the gravel pathway. "Monster?" he asked, rubbing his back. Kagome clung to him and pointed at the blonde hair-blue eyed boy sitting only 50 meters away. Inuyasha just stared at the boy and then glanced back at Miroku and Sango, who just shrugged their shoulders.

"Uh, Kagome, what in the hell are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked in an irritated tone. Kagome looked up at him and smiled apologetically. "It's a long story, but basically this town was attacked and now they want me to help them start over again. It all happened so quickly, I didn't even have time to find you guys! But I think we should stay awhile. Something really weird is going on here." Before Inuyasha could even ask what she was talking about, the old woman came running out of a hut with a bow and arrow in her hands. Kaikou-sama, Seijun, and Shinko also revealed themselves to the demon. "Be gone demon! Have we not had enough of your tormenting?" Kagome just stared at the group. "Uh-oh," she muttered under her breath. "Our monk is highly powerful! He has charmed this arrow so that it may be fatal to the demon of whom it pierces! Prepare yourself, demon!" She raised the bow and pulled back the arrow.

"No, Nana, these are my friends!" Kagome screamed out, just in time to be too late, as the arrow was already spinning towards the confused hanyou.

So what did you think? I tried to make it a cliffie, but I'm just not very good at those sort of things... No worries though, because I promise, they will get cliffier! And longer! And purplier! Okay well, remember to review because if you don't, then either I'll never add to this story, or that evil robot will dig her claws into my hand like she did the other day when we had that little difficulty with Richard Ian, and I'll have to write another chapter. But be forewarned! For, shall this horrible catastrophic event occur, I SHALL MURDER INUYASHA!!! in my story, that is... Okay, Ja!
