A/N: Here's the next Ch.! For those who bothered with this story, enjoy!

Disclaimer: Once upon a time, I did live in Asia, just not Japan. But presently I no longer do. Besides, my Japanese is horrible. So, the conclusion is simple, I cannot be Rumiko Takahashi.

Laws of the Shikon no Tama

A Flashback and a Water Fight

Where had all the carefree days gone? When I didn't have the Shikon no Tama? Everything was perfect back then and there was nothing threatening all of them. We were all able to laugh freely. We had fun.

Meet me at HQ six. I'll bring dinner.

-InuYasha

I checked the calendar; it was the new moon tonight. Though normally InuYasha liked to be alone on the new moon, something must be up. Three O'clock, enough time to meet with my new client and then go meet InuYasha.

HQ, a cave behind a waterfall, Japan

InuYasha jumped about 15 ft. into the air and landed on a ledge close to a waterfall. Behind the waterfall was a cave in which InuYasha entered. He lit a lantern and hung it up on it's hook above a round table. He looked around, thinking where had all the carefree days gone. Even Sesshomaru had laughed in those days.

He recalled the time Sesshomaru practiced his grand entrance as a lord.

Flashback

"Ok," Sesshomaru told everyone, "After I'm finished, tell me if you think if I acted like a demon lord." He went outside and started walking in.

"I am Sesshomaru, Youkai Lord of the Western La-." Sesshomaru slipped and fell backwards as he came through the waterfall. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!", was all that could be heard of him. InuYasha fell off his chair laughing, soon Sango, Kouga, Miroku, and I joined him on the ground. Kikyo and Onigumo chuckled and went back to discussing whatever they were discussing. Ayame stared wide eyed at Kouga, not knowing what just had happened. As for Kagura, she marched right up to the entrance of the cave and yelled, "Sesshomaru of the Western La, would you prefer a coffin or an urn, and where would you like to be buried?", before crumbling to the ground with laughter. She only stopped when she felt something pulling at her ankle. The rest was history.

End Flashback

BONK!

I had thrown a book at InuYasha's head, and a hard one at that, titled The Curse of the Shikon no Tama. He caught the book before it fell to the ground. Then turned around and saw me, I wasn't too happy.

"Are you deaf or something?! I was yelling your name for like an eternity!" I was wearing my miko robes and had a large bag stuffed with things in it. "In case you forgot, you are supposed to help me get up here! Unlike you, I do not have your jumping abilities. And you better have a good reason why you called me up here."

"No reason. It just gets boring this time of month, besides, I found something." He noticed the size of my bag, "What's in there?"

"Books, food, laptop, cell phone, files and some odds and ends. I got a new case today." I started looking around. "Though judging from what you have on the table, you have something up your sleeves. Ok, cough it up mister."

"You looking for a fight. You know, I won't go easy on you just because you're a girl."

"YOU are bark and no bite! I slaughtered you last time."

"YOU have miko powers! And you purified me so I was a human for that whole day!

"So what! You're a demon! Well, half at least."

"Do you want to make something out of that?"

"Bring it on, puppy."

JUMP
CRASH

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

We went flying through the air, and landed on Sesshomaru who was in mid-jump, who then knocked Kagura off her feather. InuYasha and I fell into the water with a loud

SPLASH!

As for Kagura and Sesshomaru, they were able to land gracefully on land.

"What was that for, wrench!

"Pardon me, Dog boy! You jumped right into me!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"NOT!"

"TOO!"

"NOT!"

"TOO!"

"Haven't you two", came a cold voice, "ever heard of look before you leap?" Sesshomaru glared at us, flexing his claws menacingly. "InuYasha," he continued in a monotone voice, "you missed our appointment with our new client today. Care to explain yourself?"

"Really, Fluffy." Kagura spoke, emphasizing Fluffy. Sesshomaru visibly flinched. The only other person to call him Fluffy was his daughter, Rin. She continued, "I thought you had your company in better order then that. Wouldn't you agree Kagome?" I was no where to be seen.

InuYasha smirked when he saw two hands going for Sesshomaru and Kagura's ankle. A minute later, there was another splash and down went Sesshomaru and Kagura.

"Kagome!" The two yelled my name.

"Um…………..oops?" Backing up towards the deeper water, I dove right in. Luckily Sess and Kag didn't want to get any wet then they were. InuYasha followed me to the other side of the waterfall to a small cave. Half of it was filled with water, the other half was dry. While squeezing water out of my hair and clothes, InuYasha shook himself out like a dog, causing me to get wet again.

"Hey, Yasha," I looked above us. There was a line of light. "Can you get us up there?"

"Keh. Hop on."

"You haven't given me a ride in……forever! Remember the last time when we ran into your dad?"

"He still says his back hurts when the north wind blows where we ran into him." We had reached the upper cave. "Where are we?"

"My area,…oh, I might want to get off." The sun had set, it was the night of the new moon, the night InuYasha turned human.

There were voices in the in the main entry place thingy. We went to go greet them.

"Keh, about time all you arrived." Sango, Miroku, Ayame, Kouga, and Kikyo were laughing and talking.

"Would someone mind telling us why Sesshomaru and Kagura are in the water, drenched, might I add and glaring at it?" Miroku pointed to the couple in the water. An interesting sight I would say so myself. Sesshomaru and Kagura, wet from head to toe, in the pool of water, glaring daggers into the water, with a sword and fan ready for attack.

"Oh look, a Kodak moment! And possible blackmail material." I took my cell phone and took pictures of them. Several.

"Oi! Fluffy!" InuYasha would be dead in five, four, three, two, one…. "What did I say?" InuYasha acting innocent was quite an amusing sight. " I would never call you that!"

The wonderful thing called sibling rivalry. I wondered how long this fight would last.

"10,000 Yen that this'll last an hour!" Sango knocked Miroku out with her boomerang.

A/N: Not much change in this chapter. Just a few words.

Next chapter: Memories and Dreams Uncovered and a Proposal

Now I will shamefully on my knees ask for reviews. It isn't against the law or anything, is it?
