Starfire77: Yep, that's true! Thanks a bunch for your compliments!

As you've probably already noticed, I'm replying to everyone's reviews now whether they ask a question or not. If you don't want me to reply, however, you can just say so in your review.

Chapter 7 is up and it's a lot earlier than I expected. My sister, in one of her extremely rare and kind moods, let me get on the computer this afternoon and write this up. It's kinda short and it's more of a filler than anything else.

"Uh-oh," Kagome muttered under her breath. 'Please be some other demon with two jewel shards....'

They had been walking on a path in the woods(for some reason, I always have them either on paths in the woods or random huts...) when Kagome had suddenly stopped and looked off into the trees. Inuyasha, who was leading, stopped and sniffed the air. Naomi, who had been walking beside Kagome, stopped and sniffed the air as well. Sango and Miroku, walking behind Naomi and Kagome, stopped and looked off into the trees. Sango was holding Kilala, of course.

It had been a week since Naomi had joined up with them, and Shippou had taken pleasure in informing her about all the people they had met and all the things that had happened. He had forgotten about a few people and facts, however, and one of the people was....

"Kouga," Inuyasha growled, smelling the wolf demon's scent.

"Kouga," Kagome repeated, sighing.

"Kouga?" Naomi asked.

"He's the young leader of the Wolf Demon Tribe," Shippou, who was on Kagome's shoulder, explained to her. "He likes Kagome, and Inuyasha gets really jealous."

"It's not jealousy!" Inuyasha growled at the little fox demon. "It's....something else!"

Just then a whirlwind appeared and out came Kouga. He bounced off Inuyasha's head before landing on the ground in front of Kagome, clutching her hands in his. "Hello beautiful!" he said cheerfully. "Ready to dump this mut and come with me?"

"Shut up you stupid wolf!" Inuyasha shouted, pulling him away from Kagome.

"I was talking to my woman!" Kouga shouted back.

"She ain't your woman!"

"Yes she is!"

"No she ain't!"

"Yes she is!"

Kagome sighed. 'Not again....'

Their argument continued for about five minutes. The only thing that had changed the entire time was the loudness of the yelling and the positions of the rest of the group. Kagome was sitting against a tree, Shippou was sitting in Kagome's lap, Miroku was sitting against a fallen log, Sango was sitting on the same log, Kilala was curled up beside Sango, and Naomi was sitting on a nearby rock.

"How do they keep it up?" Naomi wondered aloud.

"I really have no idea," Miroku replied as his hand inched its way towards Sango.....

WHACK

Miroku sighed, rubbing a newly formed lump on his head, while Sango scooted farther away from him, clutching her boomerang in her hands. Naomi glanced at them, smiling, then watched Inuyasha and Kouga again.

"NO SHE ISN'T!!!"

"YES SHE IS!!!"

Ten minutes later.....

"No...she...ain't..." Inuyasha said, panting a little.

"Yes...she...is..." Kouga said, also panting.

"Losing...your breath....eh...wimpy wolf?"

"No...How about...you....dumb dog?"

"Not a...chance..."

"Okay, I think that's enough," Kagome said, standing up. Shippo migrated to her shoulder as she did so. "Kouga, I'm going to stay here no matter what you say, so you can just go ahead and go back...for you..." Kouga said before running off, slower than usual.

"Stupid...wolf..." Inuyasha muttered.

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

After a short rest, the Inuyasha group was on the road again in their reassumed positions. "Anything else you forgot to tell me about?" Naomi asked, glancing at the little fox demon who was riding on Kagome's shoulder.

Shippou thought about it for a few seconds. "No, I think that's all."

"Good," Naomi said, looking at the path ahead once more.

Shippou was wrong, of course. He didn't mean to be wrong. He just took it for granted that Naomi knew already, which she didn't. He left out one last, very important fact.....
