"Huh?" replied Aros. "Oh, you mean Master Kaori! He's getting firewood.
He'll be back in a minute.
Sango had a puzzled look on her face. Kaori? I thought he died in the fire. If he's alive... the thought trailed of. She suddenly had a pleased look on her face. At that moment, Kaori burst out from the trees.
"Alright who are you?" Kaori demanded. "Sango? It's you! Finally!" he exclaimed. He rushed to greet her with an affectionate hug.
"K-Kaori! I'm so glad to see you! Though I have to admit that I thought you-"Kaori finished her sentence, "dead? Well," he suddenly got cocky, "you can't keep me down!" he smiled. "Actually I woke up in a village called 'The Sacred Wood'. There, I was raised to be their village protector. My brother Eric was too."
"Uh, Sango? You mind telling us who the hell this guy is?" asked Inuyasha.
"Oh, sorry." Sango replied. "Everyone, this is my good friend Kaori. I've known him since childhood. But, we were separated when our village was attacked by demons."
"I almost forgot," Kaori said. "This is my apprentice, Aros! I've been teaching him for about a year."
"So," Inuyasha said. "How come I smell demon in you?"
"Because I am one fifth demon. Sorry, even Sango doesn't know that," Kaori replied.
"I'm Inuyasha, this is Kagome, who is from the future, that is Shippo the Kitsune, that's Miroku the perverted monk, and that little flea demon is Myoga. Obviously you know Sango and Kerara."
"Pleased to meet you!" Kaori and Aros responded. "We would be honored if we could possibly join your group."
"Only if you can best me in a fight!" Inuyasha exclaimed laying one hand on his sword the Tetsusaiga.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled. "I have told you time and again not to do that to people. There only one thing I have left to do." She glared at Inuyasha evilly. "SIT!!!" she yelled. Inuyasha hit the ground and made a large imprint in it.
As he got up, he said, "Fine. If you can beat be in a noodle eating contest, you can join."
Kaori and Inuyasha glared at each other. "Your on."

Inuyasha and Kaori faced each other, hands twitching at their sides.
"Ready," Kagome cried, "GO!!"
Inuyasha and Kaori started to chug noodles as fast as possible. The rest of the group cheered them on.
When they finished, Kagome, puzzled, said, "Y-you finished at the same time. Kaori can join the group!"
