Naomi awoke in the same clearing that she had collapsed in. Younger-Naomi had been right about the two things; It was day and there was no pain in her head. She sat up and stretched, feeling refreshed and thankful that no demons had come and devoured her while she slept. She stood up, getting her bearings. 'Right then. The hut was...that way!' She began walking in the direction she remember the hut was in. Then she broke into a run, unable to keep her enthusiasm inside.

She got to the hut about a minute later, running at top speed. She pushed aside the wooden blinds and stepped in. She saw....nothing. There was the bundles of hay, true, but the others had gone. She sniffed the air, then determined that they had left about an hour before at the most. She walked back out and followed their scent, hoping to find them soon.

Inuyasha and the others walked on the path through the woods. Inuyasha's ears were drooping a little, just as they had been ever since learning about how Naomi's memories of him were gone.

"Poor Inuyasha," Kagome whispered as she, Sango, and Miroku walked side-by-side to talk. Shippou was on Kagome's shoulder and Kilala was in Sango's arms as always.

"Yeah," Shippou said. "It's sad about Naomi."

"Do you think there's anything we can do to cheer him up?" Sango asked.

"Like what?" Miroku asked.

"Well...Kagome, what's that delicious bread stuff that you brought that one time?" Sango said.

"You mean cake?" Kagome asked. Sango nodded. "There's no more. It's all gone."

"What about the brown stuff that melts in your mouth?" Shippou wondered.

"Chocolate? No..."

"What about-" Miroku started, but he never got to finish. At that moment, a black blur rushed out of the trees and stopped right in front of Inuyasha, who stopped suddenly, causing the others to run into him.

"Hi!" Naomi, the 'black blur', said happily.

Inuyasha drew his sword. "If you came here to fight, then that's fine with me. I already warned you that-"

Naomi put up a hand to silence him. "I didn't come here to fight," she said. "I came here to tell you some great news. I got my memories back! I remember everything about you and about how we were friends! And I was wondering.... Could I travel with you now that I remember?"

Inuyasha stared at her, too shocked to answer. The others weren't, though. They got from behind Inuyasha and started talking all at once.

"Hi!" Shippou said happily. "I'm Shippou!"

"Any friend of Inuyasha's is a friend of ours," Kagome said warmly. "By the way, I'm Kagome."

"I am Miroku," Miroku said. "Would you do me the honor of bearing my child?"

"This is Kilala," Sango said, glancing at Kilala, who mewed. "And I'm Sango. You can just ignore Miroku."

They all turned expectantly to Inuyasha, who was just getting over the shock. "Well?" Kagome asked. "Can she come?"

Inuyasha just crossed his arms. "Keh," he said. "Whatever. Just don't expect me to rescue you if anything happens!" He turned away as a small smile crept across his face.

"I don't think that'll be a problem," Naomi said, grinning.

"She got her memories back?!" Kagura and Naraku shouted at the same time as they watched it all in Kanna's mirror. Kagura was wearing a large fluffy boa thing that looked exactly like Sesshoumaru's.

"I win," Kanna said in her usual monotone voice as her mirror went blank.

Naraku crossed his arms and glared at Kagura. "She took all my money," he said.

Kagura ran her fingers through the boa. "And I spent all my money getting this made," she said.

"Then you must give me your most treasured posession," Kanna said.

Kagura immediately hugged her boa close. "Never!" she hissed. "It's mine! I bought it fair and square and no one's taking it away!"

"It's just a piece of junk," Naraku mumbled.

Kagura glared at him. "Say...that...again..." she growled through clenched teeth.

"It's. Just. A. Piece. Of. Junk." Naraku said sumgly, saying it loud and slow.

Kagura held up her fan. "Dance of Bl-"

Naraku held up her heart, a far greater weapon.

Kagura growled, then lowered her fan. Ignoring Naraku, she hugged her boa very tight before slowly laying it beside Kanna. She sniffled, then stood up and walked out the door.

Naraku put her heart away, then stood up, walked to the doorway, and checked to make sure that Kagura was gone. Once he was absolutely positive that she wasn't there, he walked over to his sleeping mat and lifted it up. Under it was a trapdoor. He looked around, making sure that no one was watching beides the impassive Kanna, then he lifted the latch and opened the trapdoor. Laying there was a large fluffy boa thing...

Naraku hastily drew it out. Then he sniffled, hugging it tightly it for a few minutes before laying in gently beside Kanna. "If Kagura asks about it, just tell her that you found it laying around," he said, ending with one last sniffle.(Hypocrite!)

Kanna simply nodded.

Naomi looked around nervously. It was the night of the day that she had met up with Inuyasha again. Now she was leaning against the wall of a hut, looking anxiously out the window. There was no moon in the sky. She wasn't worried about that, though. She was worried about the effect that had on her. Her cat ears had been replaced by human ears, her eyes had turned from yellow to brown, and her claws and fangs were gone.

"Boo!" yelled someone behind her. Something latched onto her shoulder.

Naomi jumped fifty feet into the air, then instinctively grabbed her sword's hilt. She saw who it was and let go, growling a little. "Shippou...." she said warningly.

"You're even jumpier than Inuyasha!" Shippou commented. Naomi growled again, and Shippou jumped off her shoulder and bounded over to Kagome, who was sleeping in her sleeping bag. She was near the wall on Naomi's right.

Naomi sighed, then looked over at the others. Miroku and Sango were sitting on the opposite wall with Sango's boomerang seperating the two. Kilala was curled up beside Sango. All three were asleep. Then Naomi glanced at Inuyasha, who was sitting beside the door and as alert as ever. He was on the wall to Naomi's left.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" Naomi asked.

"You know I never sleep when I'm like this," Inuyasha replied. "I have to stay alert so that no one sneaks up on me in this weak form."

"Well, we can take turns keeping watch," Naomi suggested. "I'll take first watch while you sleep. I'll wake you up in about an hour or two."

"I'm staying awake no matter what," Inuyasha said stubbornly.

"Alright, do what you want," Naomi said. She crossed her arms very Inuyasha-like and waited for the sun to come up.

Inuyasha, though he said he wouldn't, soon drifted off into sleep. Naomi glanced at him, smiling, then looked out the window again. Finally, she stood up and walked over to it, resting her elbows on the window sill and looking at the moonless night. 'I'm glad to be back with Inuyasha....'
