Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. However, I do own Kaia, the character I made up.
I want you people to know that this is not a romance between Inuyasha and the character that I made up, he is Kagome's man. Keep in mind this is not a predictable fic, at least I hope not! Also I am deeply sorry if this is in any way similar to anyone else's fanfic. This has derived from my own twisted mind. Don't pay any attention to my chapters, they hold no significance. I wrote this as one piece. With that said enjoy! I accept all questions and reviews, good or bad. It just tells me I need to improve on something.
Old Friends and New Lessons
Chapter 4
The two girls went off leaving the boys behind. It was nice having another girl to talk to for the both of them. "The water feels so nice on my body," Kagome stated. "Well, you have been through a lot," Kaia responded. "What was that?!" Kagome shrieked after a sudden noise in the bushes. As Kaia reached for her purple undershirt and sword she told Kagome, "Get behind that rock." After Kaia's top was covered she used her powers to lift the object behind the bush. Floating in the air was Miroku. "It's only Miroku, Kagome." Kaia now turned to Miroku. "Stupid monk. You know, I warned you. Go back to camp until I can deal with you properly." With that she made a swift hand movement that sent Miroku back to where they had settled, hanging in a tree. "She warned you," Inuyasha said while polishing the Tetsusaiga. Miroku only smiled,"It will be worth the pain I'm going to get." And he just hung there. Kaia and Kagome were dressing when Kagome noticed how heavily armed Kaia was. She had hidden daggers on both arms and legs, and one on her back. Not to forget her sword. Seeing Kagome's stares Kaia said,"After I received my powers and was left on my own I was attacked many times. My healing abilities help me heal faster than average, but only if I have enough power." "Oh," was Kagome's only reaction. While they started walking back Kagome spoke up. "Do you miss your family?" A hard look appeared on Kaia's face. "I miss the children. They're so innocent, for now anyway. I also miss my brother Tano. He looked out for me. Other than them, no I don't miss my family." Quickly changing the subject Kagome asked,"Do you want to wear some perfume?" Kaia sniffed it and agreed. "Inuyasha must not like this perfume you wear because of his sensitive nose," Kaia prompted. Kagome smiled reminiscing of past memories,"He gets used to it. It is SO funny though....." The two girls came back laughing. They went and sat by Inuyasha. Inuyasha sniffed and snidely said,"You smell like Kagome," and covered his nose. Kaia and Kagome looked at each other and smiled. Turning towards Inuyasha Kaia said,"Well at least I don't smell like blood and ink!" Inuyasha's jaw dropped as he said,"She told you about that?!" "Oh ya, Kagome told me many stories in which you make an ass of yourself." "All of them?" he said horrified. That made the girls laugh even harder. Kaia put her hand on Inuyasha's shoulder and said,"My friend, even if Kagome had an eternity, she could never tell me all the times you've made an ass of yourself." Shippo then joined in the laugh fest, while Inuyasha had such a look on his face. "Ahem," Miroku said dangling above them. "Will you let me down now?" Kaia looked at Kagome and stood up. "You can have him first," she told Kagome. Kagome stood as Kaia let Miroku down right in front of Kagome. She smacked him hard for peeping. However, Kaia punched him for offending her twice. "Nice right hook," Inuyasha complimented. "I didn't mean to hit him that hard," she said obviously still fuming. Inuyasha smirked,"You might as well shrug it off, like Kagome does, because he won't stop." "I suppose he'll at least stop when I'm around," Kaia said, her anger fading. (Kaia can rarely stay mad long, but if she does you might as well just lie in the grave yourself and save her some time.) "Let me tell you Kagome, you had better watch out! I'm gonna get you back for embarrassing me like that!" Inuyasha declared, referring to earlier. With that remark Kaia's face lit up."Speaking of payback. Inuyasha, do you remember when we raced as children? You would use your demonic speed and win every time. Well, I've acquired a little speed myself along with my powers. I challenge you to a race!" Inuyasha laughed egotistically,"I'll take you on any day. From here to the cliff wall. Kagome can go down to the finish line to see who wins." Kagome started to run as the challengers stretched. Miroku counted,"1, 2, 3!" The two shot off and in seconds they finished at the same time. "How about you race back as a tiebreaker?" Kagome suggested. This time Kagome counted and Shippo and Miroku spotted. "1, 2, 3!" Time seemed to slow as Kaia ran a little faster and finished first. Her will to win was greater than Inuyasha's. That is what helped Kaia win," Miroku said wisely. "Or she was just faster," Shippo said in a 'duh' tone. Kaia and Inuyasha looked at each other and burst out laughing. Soon everyone was laughing and having fun.

"I won't hesitate to leave you behind, if you don't go faster, Jaken," Sesshomaru said coldly to his faithful servant. They were tracking Inuyasha down a stream in a forest. He quickly followed the sound of laughter. Sesshomaru soon was looking through some bushes at a group of giggling people. "Inuyasha," he sneered. Then he saw Kaia, and his mind filled with memories of the past. Back to when he had first met that strange girl.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There stood Inuyasha, a child, holding a ball, and Sesshomaru far back looking distant as he usually does. Someone else stood a few feet away from Inuyasha. A young girl, looking nervous. "Come on, let's play ball," Inuyasha urged her. He grabbed her arm and started to pull Kaia to the garden. Kaia stopped and looked at Sesshomaru. "Do you want to come with us?" she offered kindly. He just stared, Come on!" Inuyasha said even more impatiently than before. "He's a meanie, leave him alone." Kaia gave in and let Inuyasha pull her.

'She showed me kindness,' Sesshomaru thought. 'And now she's a sorceress, no telling how old she is now.' "Filthy humans," Jaken said while panting. "Keep in mind, some of those people are better than you'll ever be. It wouldn't do good to insult your betters," he said defensively. Jaken was shocked by what he heard but answered,"Yes m'lord." "We will settle a little further from here and observe," Sesshomaru commanded. And they left.
