Night. Finally.

"Let's sleep here," Kagome said, surveying the clearing they were in.

"No way! We had to stop so many times that you should be plenty rested by now!" Inuyasha complained.

"We only stopped three times," Kagome replied as she continued looking around. Then, paying no heed to Inuyasha's protests, she started building a fire and laying out the sleeping bags. The others helped her, no one paying even the least bit of attention to Inuyasha. Eventually, he gave up and jumped into a tree. Mumbling was occasionally heard from the tree as the others settled down and drifted off to sleep.

"Do you think she'll like it?"

"Of course!" Naomi(normal outfit) grinned. Her father had made a beautiful necklace of pearls and seashells strung together on a white string that was as strong as it was flexible. The pearls caught the sunlight and distorted it, casting rainbows all over the walls of their small hut. The seashells were white with natural stripes, some of red, some of blue, and some of green. All in all, it was absolutely gorgous, and probably worth a lot of money. Naomi shifted her glance from the necklace to her father.

Where had the years gone? His hair was grey instead of the complete black it used to be. His hands were worn with age. The only reminder of his youth was his light brown eyes, which still shone with the same light as they used to.

"I think there's something missing," he said. He stared at the necklace in concentration for a few minutes, then snapped his fingers in realization. "Naomi, do you think that you could make it invisible?"

"Huh?"

"Only when the wearer wants it to be," he added. "That way, the animals she hunts won't see it in the night when she's trying to sneak up on them."

"I'll try," Naomi said, nodding. Her father passed the necklace to her, and she looked at it. Her eyes went completely black as she started chanting a few words. The necklace began to waver, then completely vanished as Naomi finished her spell. "All done!" She passed the now invisible necklace to her father, and it became visible again immediately.

"Thank you," he said. "I'm very proud that you can do spells like this."

"No problem!" Naomi said cheefully. "Try it out, just in case I did the spell wrong. All you have to do is think that the necklace isn't there, then it should dissapear."

Her father closed his eyes, then....

POOF

Well, there wasn't really a poof, but it seemed like there should've been as the necklace dissapeared. Naomi's father opened his eyes again and smiled.

"To make it reappear, you have to think that it's there again."

Her father nodded, then.....

POP

This time, there really was a popping sound as it reappeared.

Both of them laughed for a long time.

"Naomi! Time to get up!" Hikaru said.

"Huh?" Naomi opened her eyes slowly. She instinctively brought a hand to her face to shield out the light, and immediately wished she hadn't.

Yes, the pain was still there. Yes, it was getting worse. Yes, it hurt like hell. Yes, she'd have to put up with it for yet another day.

Meet me the day after tomorrow at the waterfall.

Kagura reread the note for the hundredth time, trying to make up her mind about wether to go or not. This boy was charming and kind, but it was also fun while she didn't know who it was. She looked at the new batch of flowers, then back at the note, then at the flowers again. "I suppose I shall."

"Shall what?"

Kagura jumped. She whirled around, coming face to face with Kanna. "Why do you always sneak up on me like that?!" she practically yelled.

"What are you going to do?"

"Oh, um...." Kagura gulped. She turned around, feeling her face get hot. "Nothing. Nothing at all."

"Then why are you blushing?"

"I-I'm not blushing!!"

"Yes you are. And now you are stuttering."

'How can she say all this so calmly?' Kagura slowly turned to face her. "I'm....meeting someone...."

Silence. After a few minutes..... "I will not tell Naraku."

Kagura let out the breath she'd been holding. "Thanks, sis!"

"Toshiro?"

"Huh?"

"You haven't been acting like yourself today. I hope you know that the day after tomorrow is the day we attack Naomi and Inuyasha."

"What?!" But.....he had somewhere to go tomorrow!!

"Is there a problem?"

"I-I had plans!"

"You'll have to cancel. Or would you rather end up like you friend?"

"No, M'lord. I'll cancel." 'Damn you, Keitaru!!'

"Good."

Sorry if it was confusing. I'm basically just trying to set up for the final battle, and it's kinda hard. The grand finale will probably come along in chapter 16, 17, or 18. Maybe sooner, maybe later. The next chapter should be up by the 20th. If there are any questions, comments, flames, confusion, randomness, or anything else, just send them to me with the review button. Thank you!
