So yea... the next day then!

Stella is still not at camp she's sleeping against the same tree from
yesterday where she was leaning, but Tatsuya is and she is putting the sake
box back into the hole. Shigure and Yuki wake up.

"Where is Stella?" Yuki asks.

"She's not far from here, but she's sleeping so don't be too loud." Tatsuya
answers without looking up as she patches up the hole somehow.

"Owwww... I have a headache..." Momiji mutters as he sits up and grabs his head.

Tatsuya sighs and kicks an empty bottle into the now gone fire. Ayame wakes
up with a large bump on his head. Ritsu wakes up too and looks around.

"What happened?" he asks.

"Oh... we had some drinks, nothing to worry about." Tatsuya replies and leans
against a tree.

Further away, Stella wakes up and walks back to camp slowly.

"IF IT WAS MY FAULT IM REALLY SORRY!!!!!!!!!!" Ritsu exclaims.

"...Shut up!" Yuki says.

Ritsu goes quiet with tears in his eyes.

Stella reaches camp and her eyes are all red from crying. Tatsuya stares
oddly at her. Stella looks away... suddenly finding a tree very interesting.

"Are... you alright?" Yuki asks.

"I'm just fine..." Stella replies.

"Wait... did I... I sleep on THIS FLOOR?!?!?" Ayame yells.

"...yes you did" Shigure responds. Stella rolls her eyes.

"NOOOOOOO!!! MY HAIR!!!!!!!!"

Stella's ears flatten against her head. "DON'T YELL!! WE CAN HEAR YOU
PERFECTLY FINE!!!" she yells and glares at Ayame. "Damn humans and their
yelling..." Stella mutters as Tatsuya stands up and stretches.

"I don't have to listen to you..." Ayame mutters.

Stella pins Ayame to a tree. "Well then, what are we going to do about
that?"

"Y-your hurting me!!!"

Stella's eyes narrow. "WHY WOULD I CARE?!?! You gonna DO something about
it?!"

"Yuki!! HELP ME YUKI!!"

Yuki ignores Ayame's pleas.

"Your over reacting, Stella..." Tatsuya says quietly.

Stella growls once more before throwing Ayame and the ground and crossing
her arms. "He started it..." she mutters.

"Owww..." Ayame groans and rubs his head.

Tatsuya sighs. "Do you know what we're going to do today?" she asks.

"As long as it doesn't deal with the bastard of the west, I don't care."
Stella answers.

"Well it's about time, I wanna leave this place ASAP."

"Fine with me"

"Well, let's see... where haven't we gone..." Tatsuya mutters and snaps her
fingers. "We're going east!" she says and points east.

"Then let's go east." Stella says and starts walking east.

Everyone follows. Tatsuya walks up next to Stella.

"Have a fight with your "mate" back there?" she asks Stella.

Stella growls.

"I'll take that as a yes!" Tatsuya says and smiles.

InuYasha is sitting in a tree near Kaede's hut, Kagome is in Kaede's hut,
and Miroku and Sango are sitting outside Kaede's hut.

'So... she's still alive... Tatsuya...' Miroku thinks.

"So Miroku! Who was that girl!?" Sango asks.

"Who... Tatsuya?" Miroku asks back.

"Oh... so THAT'S her name?"

"Yes..."

"..." Sango stares off at the ground. Miroku notices her.

"Are you worrying about me, Sango?"

"Worrying? I-I'm not worrying!"

"Your not the type to worry about someone like me"

"I'm not worrying!!!!"

Kaede walks out of the hut and InuYasha jumps down from the tree.

"Is she okay?" he asks Kaede.

Miroku and Sango bring their attention to Kaede.

"Kagome is fine, but she is in need of resting, InuYasha." Kaede answers.

InuYasha rushes into the hut and sits next to Kagome.

"Nothing serious?" Sango asks.

"The child was just knocked unconscious." Kaede replies. "But... do ye know
who did this to her?"

"It looked like a cat demon, but I'm not sure..." Sango answers and glares at
Miroku. "HE would know..."

"She is half cat demon, that I'm sure of but I don't know the other half..."
Miroku says.

"You know her but you don't know what he is?!"

Miroku shakes his head. "She always said it was too complicated for me to
understand... she said that she didn't understand it either sometimes..."

"Interesting..." Kaede mutters and goes back into the hut. Miroku and Sango
follow.

"How long will Kagome be like this?" Miroku asks.

"Not long, a couple hours at the most." Kaede responds.

"Hey old hag, do you have any idea why a half cat demon would do this?"
InuYasha asks without taking his eyes off of Kagome.

"Ah, InuYasha, could you tell what kind of demon this was?" Kaede asks,
letting the old hag comment slide.

"She was definently half cat demon but the other half... I did smell some
human in her... and she was much stronger than an average cat demon. The
other one is definitely full cat demon..." InuYasha explains sorta. "For a
split second during that fight... I smelled Naraku's scent somewhere..."

"Are you sure, InuYasha?" Sango asks.

"I'd know Naraku's scent anywhere."

"Maybe she is in league with Naraku." Kaede suggests.

"The last time I saw her..." Miroku says. "Naraku had kidnapped her and
disappeared for a long period of time... she may be working for him."

"But there were other human looking people that were dressed oddly, maybe
one of them was Naraku in disguise?" Sango suggests.

"They were dressed like they were from Kagome's time." Miroku adds.

InuYasha growls. "There was a scent on the full cat demon... I know for sure
now... it was DEFINENTLY Sesshoumaru!!" he exclaims and jumps up. "HIS
MATE!!!!!"

Miroku stands up abruptly. "Sesshoumaru... having a mate!?"

"With a cat demon?!" Sango adds and stands up.

"Tis very strange all this..." Kaede mutters.

"I'm going to go see him... and he better cough up something about these
demons." InuYasha growls and starts to leave.

"What about Kagome?" Sango asks.

"I'll be back in 3 days, keep and eye on her." InuYasha replies and leaves to
run off to Sesshoumaru's castle.
