Disclaimer: (you hear music in the background, then a voice singing) I feel pretty...Oh, so pretty...I feel pretty, and witty, and gay! (Inuyasha backs away in horror at the girl singing in front of him) You feel pretty, oh, so pretty, witty, and...KAWAII!!! (Inuyasha screams in fear as the girl dives for his ears...)

A/N: Ok, well, I've decided I can write more than one chapter a night, so I'm gonna write this one before I even read my reviews for the last chapter! Isn't that nice... So if you're expecting any questions answered here, I'm sorry! I'll try to answer anything in my bio updates (which I try to do daily), so be sure to check that out... Also, thank yous to all of you who tried out my BF's story Kagome's White Christmas. (Everyone who was nice and reviewed is covered in a truckload of Inuyasha plushies) Well, now that I got that out of my system, I just wanna say THANK YOU one last time to all of my faithful reviewers. I actually expected for this story to be only about 5-10 chapters long...And look at it now! This is the 13th! Sheesh... Ok, so enough talk! On with the story! (I know you're dying to know when the rest of the Demon Gang's gonna be introduced... You're in luck!)

Life of a Teenager

Chapter 13: The Demon Gang

Miroku sat back in his chair, a stunned look in his face. Looking around the table, he noticed that everyone else seemed to be suffering from the same thing. Everyone except Inuyasha, that is. He was staring at Miroku with an impatient look on his face. Then Miroku remembered Shippo's question. "Yeah, I can do a tracking spell that will search for a specific reincarnation's power. There is a catch, though. Kagome has to actually be using the power for it to work. And I'm not positive she knows how to control hers yet." Everyone's face fell at this news. Souten, however, was a bit more positive. "Can you do the spell anyways? Just in case?" she asked. Miroku considered, then nodded. "Why not? Couldn't hurt." He stood up and went to the center of the room, then motioned everyone to him. "Would you please form a circle around me and join hands with one another? It will help the range of the spell if there's more energy in it." The group did as requested. Miroku put his right hand in front of his face, sideways so that his palm faced outward. Calmly, he began to chant quietly under his breath, his eyes closed in concentration. In a few moments, the air in front of him began to distort and form a mirror like surface. Everyone concentrated as a picture of a giant house formed in it. Quickly, the view moved inside the front door, up the stairs, down a hallway and to a bedroom door. Going through it, two figures were discernible in the dark. One was standing in a pool of moonlight, clutching its right arm and staring at the other figure. This figure was strapped to a chair and seemed to be surrounded by a ...pink and blue bubble? Inuyasha realized that the one in the moonlight was Naraku and began to growl, but stopped in surprise when Naraku suddenly jumped at the bubble. Then the entire gang watched in amazement as he was sent flying backward into the wall behind him. Hitting it with a sickening smack, the group would have winced in sympathy if it had been anyone but Naraku. As it was, they cheered for Kagome instead, as they had realized it was she who was strapped to the chair.

The next sound they managed to overhear was Kagome's laughter, which was definitely amused. "Had enough yet?" she taunted. "Or have you finally figured out that it's impenetrable unless I remove it?" Naraku stood up once more. "You will pay for your impudence," he hissed. "Yeah, yeah, you've been saying that for the past half hour. It would be a little bit more amusing if you hadn't been doing the SAME THING over and over again," she yawned. Inuyasha smiled with pride. She had a lot of spirit, and she wasn't about to let that asshole even try to walk all over her. That's my woman...Wait a minute! Since when has she been MY woman?! He asked himself. Shaking his head, he concentrated on what was happening in the scene before him. Kagome was talking again.

"Anybody ever tell you how pathetic you are, Naraku? If not, let me tell you now. A more disgusting person I've never met. Besides pathetic, you're really slimy... Rather like a slug, wouldn't you agree? So why did you kidnap me anyway? Let me guess... You want revenge. The oldest thing in the book..." Shaking her head in disgust, Kagome gave Naraku a slightly pitying look. By now, his face was red with anger, his eyes narrowed to slits. Kagome ignored the uneasy feeling that ran down her spine. "If it were me, I'd just try to kill Inuyasha, but I bet you've already tried that, haven't you? He's not so easy to kill, huh? I wouldn't expect him to be; he's too stubborn to be killed by someone like you..." she trailed off. She was silent as she contemplated Inuyasha, not noticing Naraku move to the door. I wonder if he'll come for me... Does he care what happens to members of his gang? If he's gonna save me, I hope he does it soon. The barrier I've been keeping up between me and Naraku is getting weaker because my energy's draining... Kagome's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. Looking up, she saw several figures standing in the doorway. Who are they...?

The Dark Gang drew in a sharp breath at the sight of the figures standing in the doorway. Unlike Kagome, the gang knew who the figures were... And that it didn't mean good news for Kagome. It was the rest of the Demon Gang, and they could help multiply Naraku's power tenfold. There was no possible way Kagome's untrained barrier would withstand the attack. Inuyasha wouldn't admit it aloud, but he was worried, in a BIG way. What would they do to Kagome once the barrier was gone? That thought prompted action. "Miroku, can you pinpoint the exact location where she is? Like the street name or the section of town?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku concentrated again, and the view shifted to outside the house. Barely discernible were the house numbers: 3180. Then the view shifted once more, to the street sign. The house was visible in the distance. "Feh. 3180 Milfred Avenue. Gotcha, you bastard," muttered Inuyasha. Turning around, he was almost to the door before the group stopped him. "Wait! Inuyasha!" Turning around again, Inuyasha was ready to hit someone when he saw the group. They were ready for battle. Sango was in her battle armor with her giant boomerang thrown over one shoulder. Miroku was in his robes, staff in hand. Shippo and Souten were dressed in identical black pants, shirt, and sneakers. Kouga was in blue jeans and a black T-shirt, armbands and headband firmly in place. Ayame was in black capris and a plain white T-shirt. They all wore determined expressions. Miroku spoke up. "You're not going anywhere without us."

Kagome stared in confusion at the group standing before her. Were they the missing gang members? Have to be, she decided. Naraku smiled sinisterly. Uh-oh... Houston, I think we have a problem... She glanced nervously from one figure to another. Naraku stepped forward, his smile growing wider and deadlier. "Let me introduce you to my... friends. The Demon Gang, if you would. First off is Kagura, Demon of the Wind." A woman with black hair a red eyes to match Naraku's stepped forward. She smirked and flipped open a fan in front of her face, causing a gust of wind to whip through the room. Then she stepped back into line with the others. Naraku continued. "Kanna, Demon of Nothingness." A smaller girl stepped forward. Kagome was surprised; she only looked about twelve or thirteen. Her hair and her eyes were... white, unbelievably. Kagome could see how she was Nothingness. "Bankotsu, Demon of Thunder." A man stepped forward this time. He was tall, with black hair pulled back into a braid all the way down his back. His eyes were blue and he had a small purple cross on his forehead. The thing you noticed first, however, was the gigantic sword he carried over his shoulder. A predatory grin crossed his face as he stared at Kagome. Then he stepped back into line as Naraku continued. "Yura, Demon of the Hair." Another woman stepped forward. She had short black hair, black eyes, and carried ? She raised the comb and a tentacle of hair whipped out of no where, writhing around the room. It disappeared with a wave of Yura's hand. "Jakotsu, Demon of the Snake Sword." Another person stepped forward. What Kagome couldn't decide, though, was whether it was a man or a woman. The figure was dressed as a woman, but the build was more a man's. Then the figure brought out a sword that snaked around the room, and Kagome knew it was a man because a girl wouldn't be able to handle such a sword. Jakotsu smiled sweetly, then stepped back. "Musou, Demon of Shapeshifting." A figure stepped forward. Kagome wasn't sure what she'd expected; some sort of hideous monster maybe, since it was a shapeshifter. What it was, however, was a normal man with shoulder length black hair and brown eyes. Without warning, his shape changed into that of Inuyasha. She knew it wasn't him though; his eyes were much too cruel. A mocking laugh escaped him as he rejoined the line. "And last, but certainly not least, is my woman. She's also second-in-command. Kikyo, Reincarnation of Tsubaki."
