Chapter 5- Meeting

"HAHAHAHAAAA!" Kagome laughed in triumph.

"AW, COME ON!" Inuyasha screamed at her. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?"

Kagome smiled and said, "Because… Hey… Where are we supposed to go?"

"Well, I was thinking maybe to the hag's place to find out what this stupid stone is…" Inuyasha replied taking out the red stone.

Kagome's eye's widened. She pulled out her stone as well seeing a wonderful blue glow from it. Inuyasha stared at the stone.

"Why the hell do you have one?" Inuyasha asked in disbelief.

"Cuz I do you baka dogboy! And I'll have you know the I live 500 years in the future so just bug off because I know for a fact what 'administer' is!"

"Add minutes to her?"

"No! You stupid jerk! Administer! It means to manage!"

"Fine! I can administer by myself!"

Kagome rolled her eyes. Inuyasha was the stupidest boy she had ever met, then again, also the rudest. 'He's so stupid! Ugh! I can't stand another day without him! What the heck? Did I just say without him????? That's IMPOSSIBLE!!! I can definitely stand another day without him!!!! Well, he is kinda cute… And he does have a good heart for real… And he seems—No! No! NO! He is an ugly useless dog! Yep! Dogboy… But… why is it he kissed back when I was forced to kiss him? That was a niccccceeeee kiss. Yup! Certainly was… WHAT AM I SAYING IN MY HEAD? THIS IS SO SCREWED UP! Dogboy…' Kagome began to blush at the thought of the kiss. She gazed at the sky dreamily.

"Uh… wench?" Inuyasha said to try and snap her out of her fantasy. "Wench? Grrrrrrr… KAGOME!"

Kagome snapped out of it and replied, "Oh! Sorry, yes?"

Myouga caught up to them and said, "Don'tcall her hag again master Inuyasha! It's so rude master Inuyasha! Call her Lady Kaede!"

"Fine! Let's go see Lady Kaede! Maybe she'll know what to do,"

"Inuyasha, can I ride on your back so we can get there faster?"

"No way wench! Walk with your legs! You do have some, don't you?"

"Inuyasha?!"

He immediately reconsidered. "OKAY OKAY! I'LL LET YOU RIDE ON MY BACK!!!"

"YAY!" Kagome hopped on to his back.

Inuyasha mumbled and cursed under his breath. "Damn stupid wench… Can't even walk by herself…"

The others…

Minako pushed Miroku away.

"I-I-I demand to know what that was for!" she commanded.

"Oh just my love to you and to stop you from saying such mean things about other people," Miroku answered smiling. He was teasing her.

"MIROKU!!!" she hissed loudly. Minako hated it when he teased her. She tried to slap him but he ducked.

"What was that for my sweet?" Miroku asked still teasing. "It wasn't my fault! You know that! It's never my fault! Gosh!"

"HOUSHI-SAMA! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU LATER!" Minako screamed walking back towards the group.

Miroku laughed nervously and headed back as well.

"We should start going to Lady Kaede's home. It's only about a kilometer away! (A/N: Yes I'm Canadian! We use the metric system ppl!)" Sango stated.

"You're right!" Shippo gleefully said.

"Let's go then!" Miroku yelled patting Sango's "you know where…"

"CONTROL YOURSELF YOU STUPID MONK!" both of the girls screamed at the same time. They both disliked each other though. Sango yelled for Miroku touching her butt and Minako yelled at him for touching another girl's butt.

"You can touch her ass as much as you want for all I care!" Sango yelled at Miroku referring to Minako when she said her. "She's your fiancé!"

Minako steamed but kept her angriness to herself.

Once they reached Kaede's village, they headed over to her home.

Once Inuyasha, Myouga and Kagome reached Kaede's village, they headed over to her home. The two groups met at the door and were very surprised. When they saw each other, everyone just stared until Inuyasha exploded.

"MONK!" Inuyasha screamed.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted because that was rude.

"Inuyasha?" Sango looked at him.

"Pretty teenage girl?" (You already know who that is)

"MIROKU!" (You know that person too)

"SHIPPO!" Shippo yelled himself.

"Visitors?" Lady Kaede asked as she stepped out of her house into the middle of the two groups.

"Lady Kaede!" everyone but Kaede shouted.

"Aye it is I! Inuyasha, do ye know who these persons are?"

"Only the girl in the funky clothes hag,"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome replied sternly.

"Uh oh…"

"SIT!"

His face plunged to the ground while Kagome said, "You can eat dirt with that attitude!"

And so the whole tale of 'Blah blah blah,' was told. Everyone was introduced and they found out about the stones. Everyone was surprised and decided to stay at the village.

"I have to WHAT!" Inuyasha screamed in horror.

"So what Inuyasha! We all have to too!" Kagome replied pushing him.

"So, we have to all stay here until our stones shatter?" Miroku questioned.

"Were you listening you stupid monk?" Sango asked him angrily. "Do you know that you define the word stupid?"

"Why don't you just shut up? You can insult yourself instead of other people!" Minako shouted getting mad.

"Ooh! Look! Minako is getting angry!" Sango mocked Minako.

"Another reason why I don't wanna grow up…" Shippo said shaking his head again.

Two months had finally passed and still none of their stones had shattered. It seemed to get hopeless for everyone. Well, not everybody! I was just exaggerating! Inuyasha didn't seem to care. He seemed to be waiting for someone to tell him what the stone meant. Kaede knew what the stones were, but she had no idea what it was he was supposed to do with it. Yes, he was supposed to find what he lacked but that was the question! What did he lack? It was like a puzzle much too hard for Inuyasha to solve. He decided there was no point in doing anything until he knew what he lacked!

Kagome hated this. She might die! Die! D-I-E! What did she lack! She could do anything! Even sports like hockey! She was someone gifted! Everyone else's stones were obvious! Inuyasha's stone meant love! It was red and that's the colour of love! Sango's was trust. Kagome knew from what she had heard from Miroku that it was trust. She didn't seem to trust anyone. Sango always was watching her back. She could never relax and take a break from that. Miroku's was fault. He seemed to always put the blame on someone else! That could be big trouble one day. Shippo's was courage. Shippo ran away from everything. He could even handle a tinny demon like Myouga! And Minako… She didn't have a stone but came looking for Miroku just because she was lonely without him! From her point of view, Minako was chasing after someone that had no desire to be with her. Miroku only pretended to like her… but he really didn't. She would be heartbroken if she ever found out. She was smart enough of figure out that, but why couldn't she figure out her own?

"Mommy! Daddy! Someone! PLEASE HELP ME!!!" Kagome heard a little boy screaming out for help.

'It's coming from the river!' Kagome quickly thought. 'I'll never get there in time! But… what if that boy doesn't survive? Oh!' She started towards the river

As soon as Kagome reached the river she saw everyone else was also there. Like Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Minako and the villagers. They couldn't swim! Swimming wasn't invented back then! What could she do? She'd only taken three swimming lessons and knew it was impossible to rescue the boy. The boy headed for the waterfall. The villagers gasped. Kagome thought fast. 'I can't do it! I'm not good enough to swim in a current that fast! I can't! But… but… I have to! Yes! I can do this!'

Kagome took off her shoes and socks and plunged into the river. The current was fast but she fought back. The boy was nearing the waterfall. Kagome swam with the water to get there faster and grabbed the boy by the arm.

"It's going to be okay!" Kagome told the boy over the salty water that was making her mouth dry.

The boy nodded and struggled in the water. Kagome summoned all of her strength and swam to shore with the boy. The villagers were so surprised. The boy's mother ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"We must have a special ceremony for this wonderful heroine!" one of the men announced.

The villagers all began to agree. Suddenly, Kagome's stone rose out of her shirt and hovered near her chest. It shattered in front of her and a beautiful sparking blue dust floated down.

'So that's what mine was… I lacked in believing I could do anything! But now I know, I know that I can do anything!' Kagome told herself. She had just gained new self-confidence.
