ARIGATO DEAR READERS!!! Remember to read and review! And thanks for the reviews, people who reviewed! (ha ha that didn't hake sense but oh well.)
(Hikari)
Hikari winced as she sat up. Her shoulder was throbbing badly. She crept up silently and keeping her werewolf form, began looking for a source of water. She edged carefully towards a small spring. She cupped her hands and slid them under the water. The waster was cold and refreshing. She brought her cupped hands to her mouth. Hikari sipped the cool, sweet water. Her ears twitched. Someone was watching her. She casually cupped another handful of water and splashed her face to wake her self up more.
In one smooth move, she swiped at the overhanging branch. A creature shrieked and fell helplessly to the ground with a resounding thump. Hikari bent down and squinted through the dust. The animal was furry and small. It had tan fur and black stripes around its head and feet. Its eyes were red and it had two tails.
(Hakisuma)
Hakisuma glanced nervously at Inu Yasha. His face was twisted with disgust and fury. "That stinkin' bastard Naraku! I'll get him. I swear I will." Inu Yasha said through gritted teeth. Hakisuma glanced around.
"Kii?" Hakisuma called out. "Kii?"
Sango looked up from the conversation she had with Kagome and Miroku. "Is Kii missing?" she asked concernedly.
"I think so. Have any of you seen her?" Hakisuma replied nervously.
Inu Yasha's head shot up from his fuming. His fists loosened.
"No, I haven't," Sango admitted. Kagome and Miroku shook their heads.
Hakisuma got up. Kagome said, "We'll help you look for Kii." She shot Hakisuma a reassuring smile.
"Thanks," Hakisuma stuttered. Kagome, Hakisuma, Shippo, and Sango got up and looked around for Kii. A chorus of 'Kii' rang out over the camp.
Miroku glanced at Inu Yasha. Have you gotten any scent of Naraku, Hikari, or Kii?" he inquired.
"Yeah, I think I can smell a hint of Hikari, though it seems like she's with another person." Inu Yasha replied.
"Do you think that Kii has gone off by herself to look for Hikari?" Miroku asked.
Inu Yasha sniffed the air. "Hey, I can smell Kii, now. She's where Hikari's scent is coming from!" Inu Yasha exclaimed. "Hey Hakisuma! Sango! Kagome! And the brat!" Inu Yasha shouted, "I've picked up Kii and Hikari's scent!"
Hakisuma ran out from the forest with leaves and twigs in her hair. She was followed be Sango, Kagome and Shippo, looking the same. "Where are they? Are they together?" Hakisuma exclaimed.
Inu Yasha nodded. "It seems like they've found each other. But there is another person with them, I think."
Kagome walked over to Inu Yasha quickly. "Good boy!" she cooed. "You're such a little koinu!" Inu Yasha's eyes turned into the line/dots and everyone sweat-dropped.
(Hikari)
"Kii! What are you doing here?" Hikari transformed back into her human form.
Kii mewed and rubbed herself against Hikari's hand. Hikari smiled slightly. 'At least there's a friendly face now' she thought. (Snap!) A sound startled Hikari. With a growl she transformed back into werewolf form. Akigoumo stepped out from behind a tree. Hikari glared at Akigoumo. "What are you doing here?" Hikari demanded.
"I saw that you were gone so I came to look for you...in case you got hurt." Akigoumo replied smoothly.
"No. Tell me your real reason for helping me. I can see right through your feeble lie." Hikari said coolly.
"Fine. You want to know? I was sent here by Naraku." Akigoumo said. Hikari hissed at the sound of that name. "However, I didn't want to help him because he had destroyed the ones I love, so I'm working against him, but he doesn't know."
Hikari narrowed her eyes. 'It doesn't seem like she's telling a lie...' Hikari thought. She transformed back but kept her hand close to the dagger she kept hidden. "Come, Kii," Hikari said. Kii bounced into her arms and they walked to the camp. Hikari sat down underneath the tree and whispered to Kii, "You keep watch first. When you're tired wake me up. If Akigoumo tries anything sneaky attack her and kill her." Kii batted at Hikari's arm. "I'll take that as a yes," Hikari said. She settled down to be more comfortable and closed her eyes. Kii settled down on Hikari's lap and half-closed her eyes. She still kept a wary watch over Akigoumo.
(Hakisuma)
Hakisuma was riding on the back of Sango and Miroku, in case he did anything tricky. Kagome and Shippo were riding on Inu Yasha, who was speeding ahead.
"Come on, Kirara! Catch up to Inu Yasha!" Sango shouted over the wind. Kirara put on a burst of speed. They caught up with Inu Yasha.
"Any signs of them?" Miroku asked.
Inu Yasha nodded. "Their scent is getting stronger. They shouldn't be too far away." Inu Yasha squinted to see better. "I think I see demons!" he shouted. He ran faster. Kagome cried out and clung on tighter.
Hakisuma squinted. "Inu Yasha! Those are demon imposters!" she yelled from behind Miroku.
"Inu Yasha smirked. "Heh. I'll take care of them real easy" He lunged himself (he seems to have completely forgotten about Kagome and Shippo, who were clinging on to him desperately with tears flowing out of their eyes) and extracted his claws. "IRON REAVER!"
A glow encircled the two figures. The attack hit the orb and was absorbed.
Kagome yelled while hitting Inu Yasha's surprised head, "That's them, stupid!
"GAH!!!" Inu Yasha yelled. "What was that for?" Inu Yasha shouted.
"That's for being a stupid baka!" Kagome replied crossly.
Kii came bounding up and jumped into Hakisuma's arms. Hikari followed, limping a little. "WHAT DID YOU ATTACK US FOR, INU KORRO?" Hikari shouted. (She and Inu Yasha had the big heads and the sharp teeth.)
"IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR LOOKING LIKE A DEMON!" Inu Yasha retorted. Steam was coming out of both of their heads.
Shippo rummaged around in Kagome's back pack and brought out eight eggs and a frying pan. He cracked the eggs and put the innards into the pan. He then set the pan on top of Inu Yasha's head. "Lunch is served!" he cried out happily.
Inu Yasha turned around with an irked face and the animated veins pooping out of his head. "Why you little"He grabbed Shippo's tail.
"Inu Yasha, don't make me S-I-T you!' Kagome stifled her laughter. Inu Yasha huffed and plopped down onto the ground. Hikari grimaced and put a hand onto her shoulder.
Hakisuma ran to her. "Did you get attacked?" she asked worriedly.
Hikari nodded her head. "I was taken to Naraku's castle." She said through gritted teeth. Kagura and Kanna were there. The wind witch and her older sister that holds a mirror, they brought me to see Naraku."
Inu Yasha jumped up. "Where's his castle?" he demanded.
Akigoumo stepped out of the trees. I can take you there. But first I have to clean Hikari's wounds. They are deep. Kagura attacked her when Hikari was trying to get away from the castle."
"And how did you actually know, wench?' Inu Yasha snarled.
"Inu Yasha, be nice!" Kagome scolded.
Akigoumo ignored Inu Yasha's comment and strode briskly to Hikari. She took out all of her supplies and began working.
"Aieeee! Hentai!" Sango screamed and her eyes became dilated. She slapped Miroku on instinct.
Miroku fell to the ground with swirly eyes and his tongue lolling out.
Everyone sweat dropped and then laughed at Miroku's face.
"Having a good time?" someone asked amusedly. Everyone shot around quickly. Their eyes widened.
