"Talking" *Thinking* ///POV change\\\ ~Scene Change~

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

While the girls were comforting Rachelle, Inuyasha
suddenly grew alert and tense. Rachelle and Kagome noticed the change and
became curious. Soon yelling could be heard.

"No, it's this way you baka!"

"I think I would know how to track somebody!"

"This wouldn't have happened if you had just let me see my friends!"

"Will you shut up?! You're my woman now and it's my job to protect you!"

"Well, you could be a little more linient, I'm not a friggen blonde! I DO
have a brain!"

(No offense to any blondes reading this, I just couldn't resist! ^^;;)

Suddenly, Rachelle smiled . Kouga and Cassy were back and arguing their
heads off.

"You are you doing back here?" Inuyasha demanded.

"He tried to tell me that I couldn't see my friends, I thought that was bullshit so I came back and Tarzan over here," she pointed to Kouga "Had a
hard time picking the scent back up. Besides, you said weapons, weapons
are a girl's best friend." Cassy said cheerfully.

"What about blondes? What did you mean by that? " Sarah asked
threatiningly.

"They're ditzty, airheads, and helpless." Cassy grinned.

"Take that back!" Sarah yelled, chasing Cassy around the clearing.

Cassy managed to stay out of Sarah's reach for a little while, until Nakita
tripped her.

"Owww." Cassy said laughing a little.

"Ha Ha!" Nakita smiled.

Sarah pounced on Cassy's back, and sat on her cross-legged.

"Ahh! Get off me! You're crushing my back!" Cassy yelled. "Your too fat! I
can't breathe!!"

"Ugh!" Sarah put on a hurt face, "You hurt my feelings!"

She stood up and ran to Nakita. "Oh, Sarah. It's okay! Cassy! Look what
you've done!" Nakita said playfully as Sarah fake cried.

"And she crushed my lungs! She'll be okay Nakita, you know how to make her
happy!" Cassy laughed.

"Shut up Cassy!" Nakita replied.

"I'm not fat!" Sarah stopped 'crying', "C'mon you guys, this is boring!
Let's have some fun!" Rachelle said, jumping up and down.

"Like what?!" Nakita asked.

"Like get our weapons!" Nakita said, jumping up and down with Rachelle.

"Kita, you already have a weapon." Rachelle said.

Nakita put her hands behind her back, "I lost my brass knuckles!"

"Sure ya did. Come on let's go." Sarah said, "Someone lead the way."

Cassy blinked, "How're we gonna get there? Town can't be very close."

"We can all ride on Kirara!" Sango said cheerfully.

Inuyasha picked up Kagome.

"No! I'm afraid of the mutant cat!" Nakita ran behind Sarah.

"She's not a mutant , just a demon cat." Sango said, slightly offended.

"I wanna ride on him!" Nakita said, and ran in front of Inuyasha, and
jumped up, hooking her arms around her neck. Inuyasha fell over.

"Ow! Okay, okay, I guess I'll just walk." Nakita said laying on the ground.

Inuyasha growled and stood up. Kagome climbed onto Inuyasha's back, holding
in her laughter at Nakita's antics. "You won't be able to keep up."
Inuyasha said stubbornly.

"I can try." Nakita said, crouching into a runner's position.

Inuyasha looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "What the hell are you
doing?"

"Getting ready to run." Nakita said simply. Inuyasha just shook his head.

"Okay, we're all set." Rachelle said. Miroku sat on Kirara with Rachelle in
his lap, Sarah sat on Lora's for lack of space, an Sango sat in front.
Kouga held Cassy in his arms. Nakita waited for Inuyasha to go, since she didn't know the way.He ran, and Nakita shot off after him. She was lagging by a lot, but at the moment, she
didn't care.

Kirara passed her. *Oh great, now the mutant cat can run faster than me*
She pushed herself harder, until she was running side by side with Inuyasha, now it was incredibly easy.She felt a burst of power run through her body, *What's this feeling? It's like I'm on top of the world. Maybe I can run faster than this doggie-guy.* She pushed herself harder, and before
she knew it, she was an arm's length in front of him. But she slowed down just enough to be beside him, since she had no clue where the hell she was
going.

They soon came to Totosai's little hut thingy, since he wasn't living in his cave at the moment, he was hiding out from a rather aggresive wanna-be
customer. Sango, Miroku, Rachelle, Sarah, and Lora got of Kirara, who changed into her smaller kitty form. Kagome got down from Inuyasha's back,
and Kouga grudgingly let down Cassy.

Inuyasha looked over at Nakita,"How the hell did you pass me? No human
should be able to do that." he asked curiously.

"I dunno." Nakita said smiling and shrugging,"I just felt this sudden burst of power. It was so strong, I felt great. I almost felt high." Nakita said
confused.

"Speaking of high..." Lora said, pulling something out of her pocket,"I've
got weed."

"YAY!" Sarah and Nakita yelled.

"What the hell is that?" Inuyasha asked.

Lora had lit with a lighter she had in her other pocket. Inuyasha smelled
it easily, especially with his acute sense of smell, and immediately got
high. He started saying really stupid things and staggering around.

"What's his problem? He hasn't even taken a hit." Lora said, looking at him
funny.

"Me next! Me next!" Sarah yelled.

Rachelle burst out laughing,"He's high *laugh* You guys *hysterics* you got
him high from the smell."

Cassy looked worridly at Kouga, but he was already staggering. "Damn, I was hoping he wouldn't be affected.." she muttered under her breath,"But on the
plus side, it's fuinny as hell."

"You guys! Put it out, make it stop!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Aww! Just when we were having fun too..." Lora pouted, throwing it on the
ground and stomping on it.

"You stink." Sarah pouted.

"Come on, let's just go inside." Rachelle said as she started to walk
toward the door, but realized nobody else was following her. Kouga and Inuyasha weren't exactly making much progess with the walking, mostly, they
just staggered around, and ran into each other a lot.

They managed to walk into the little hut but were soon red with
embarrassment at Inuyasha's and Kouga's actions.

"Hey, woah, what the hell is this?" or "What the hell does this do?"

Kagome decided to take the guys outside and baby-sit.

Totosai looked at Miroku, Sango, and Shippou. "Where is Inuyasha and
Kagome?" he asked.

"They're outside, um, getting some fresh air..." Miroku said akwardly.

"Who are these people?" Totosai gestured to the girls.

"They're new, This is Sarah, Nakita, Lora, Rachelle, and Cassy." Sango
said, pointing to each one.

"What strange names, except Nakita..." Totosai mused.

"They're here for some weapons, can you give them some pre-made ones?"
Miroku asked.

"Yes...They seem deserving...What kind of weapons do they require?"

"Hmmmm, I honestly don't know." Sango said.

"I'm good with daggers." Cassy said.

"I want a sword!" Lora said

"I want a bow and arrows." Sarah said.

"I already have a weapon." Nakita said.

Rachelle stood there, not sure which weapon she would be able to weild.
*I'm not sure which specific weapon I would be able to weild best.*

"And you?" Totasai asked her.

"...I...um..." Rachelle paused. "A sword for me too I guess."

Totosai handed them the weapons they asked for, luckily, he had a surplus
of those specific ones. The girls thanked him, and walked outside to find
Kagome and the youkai and hanyou.

"Okay, We got their weapons, we're all set to go." Sango said

"Go where?" Sarah asked.

"Anywhere, but you guys need to get used to your new weapons." Sango said.

"Why?" Nakita asked.

"So you can train." Sango replied.

"Train? But I thought trains weren't invented yet..." Sarah mused.

"Huh?" Sango asked, confused.

"To train it to practice something." Miroku said knowledgably."Usually with
weapons or sparring."

"Wow, that's something I expected from Cassy." Lora laughed. Cassy scowled
at her and stuck out her tongue.

"Yeeeeaaahh...Trannning...tha's what you neeeeeeed ta do." Inuyasha
slurred.

"Man, they got it bad, don't they?" Lora said, looking at Inuyasha and
Kouga, Inuyasha was now getting out his weapon and pointed it at Kouga.

"Wha the heeelll...are you dooing herre?" Kouga asked, voice slurring.

Inuyasha looked Kagome, then Kouga, then he passed out.

"I...win..." Kouga passed out.

Everyone excep Miroku burst out laughing, who only smiled.

"Alright, who's going to carry them?" Nakita asked between laughs.

Everyone looked at each other, then at Sarah and Nakita

"What?" Nakita asked.

"Your idea, so you and Sarah carry them." Rachelle smiled.

"But..." Sarah began.

"But we're weak, why can't you guys carry them?" Nakita protested.

"Fine you big cry babies." Cassy muttered as she picked up Kouga.

Rachelle picked up Inuyasha "Come on you wimps, Kagome, can you lead us
back to camp?" she asked.

Kagome nodded, and led the way.

"Do know how hard it is to carry a sword and a man?!" Rachelle asked.

"Yeah, how CAN you carry him?" Kagome asked in amazement.

"Try carrying two daggers and a man. Kouga's heavy!" Cassy joked.

"You know, we could have walked and had Kirara carry them..." Sango
offered.

Rachelle and Cassy had huge sweatdrops on their heads,"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL
US THAT EARLIER?!?!?!" they both yelled.

"I kinda forgot...Sorry about that.." Sango said sheepishly.

"Too late now, we're back." Kagome announced.

Cassy threw Kouga on the ground,"I wonder if that knocked some sense into
him." she muttered smiling softly.

Rachelle dropped Inuyasha on the ground.

"Whew." Rachelle sighed.

"I'm never carrying him again!" Cassy exclaimed.

Kagome laughed,"You guys vlounteered for it."

"Well, we forgot that Kirara could have carried them, and we couldn't just
leave them there." Cassy said.

"Alright, let's get down to business. We'll pair up and work with each
other, okay?" Kagome said.

Sango got up and walked to the edge of the clearing, "Anyone up for a
challenge?"

"Oh, ME! ME! ME!" Nakita said jumping up and down.

"Okay, okay, calm down!" Sango exclaimed, slightly disturbed at the
display.

"Yay for me!" Nakita said hopping over to Sango.

"I'll throw Hirakotsu, you try to punch it out of the way. I'll throw it
soft, it's very heavy." Sango said.

"Okay!" Nakita smiled, and put her fists in front of her face.

Sango let loose the boomerang, and Nakita punched it for all she was worth.
Hirakotsu flew out of the clearing , into the forest,and kept going.

"Ow! My head!! God Damnit!" Nakita swore, holding her head in pain.

"Wow, not bad," Sango said, "Kirara."

Kirara ran after the boomerang in her bigger form, caught it, and brought
it back to her mistress.

"Nakita, What's wrong?" Sarah asked worridly.

"I don't know!" Nakita exclaimed. She fell to the ground, still holding
her head in pain. She began to scream, the pain was so intense. She quit
screaming after a few minutes.

"Nakita?". Cassy looked at her friends,"Nakita, you have ears!"

"Well duh I have ears you retard! Doesn't everyone?" Nakita growled.

"Bum..." Cassy muttered.

"No, Nakita, you have ears on top of her head," Rachelle said,"Here, look."
she pulled a mirror out of one of her pockets.

Nakita took the mirror, and screamed again. This time, she woke up Kouga.

He looked around and saw Nakita. *Her scent! She smells like dog-turd!
She's an inu hanyou! * Kouga stood up wide-eyed.

"What's going on? Why do you smell like dog-turd?" Kouga asked.

"Well thanks, that makes me feel so much better. I'm a mutant cat!" she
yelled, and woke up Inuyasha.

He jumped up and looked around wildly."What happened? And why do you smell
different?"

"I'm a mutant cat! I hate cats!" Nakita yelled.

"You're not a mutant cat, you're a dog hanyou. You're better than a cat, be
proud!" Inuyasha said.

"Yay! I can eat cats!" Nakita's smile returned.

Kirara growled "When did she get back?" Nakita asked, then growled back.

"Wow Nakita, I knew a freak, this just proves it." Rachelle joked.

"Leave me alone." Nakita's ear drooped,. and she pouted

"Let's get back to business." Lora said.

"Yeah, now we have enough people!" Rachelle said.

Rachelle paried up with Miroku, Cassy with Kouga , Nakita stayed with
Sango, Lora went with Kagome,and Sarah went with Inuyasha. Rachelle and
Miroku started to inch toward the forest, when Kagome stopped them.

"Wait, you two can't go off together. You switch with Sarah." Kagome smiled
sweetly at them and yelled for Sarah to switch with Rachelle.

"Damn, caught again." Miroku muttered. Rachelle smiled at him.

Rachelle walked over to Inuyasha. "Looks like it me and you. Don't go easy
on me, 'kay?"

"Believe me, I won't." Inuyasha smirked, and grasping the Tetsusaiga.
Rachelle grabbed her sword, "Ready." she said.

"Hey wait, trade me peeps. Lora called, running over to Rachelle.

"Ugh! How many times am I going to do this?!" Rachelle said, walking over
to Kagome. "No offense to you."

Kagome smiled. "None taken."

Rachelle held her sword up, and nodded to Kagome that she was ready.

"I hope I don't hurt you." Kagome said, taking out an arrow and aiming it.

"I can defend myself." Rachelle said stubbornly.

Kagome setteled for aiming for Rachelle's arm. *This will teach her how to
block...* She let the arrow fly.

In a flash, it was in Rachelle hand.

"Wow, good job. " Kagome smiled."I thought you would block it with your
sword."

"Try shooting it faster." Rachelle said,"I like a challenge."

"Okay, here's your wish." Kagome picked up another arrow, and let it fly.

Rachelle put her sword in front of her left arm, where the arrow headed.
But she was surprised and hissed in pain when Kagome used her miko powers
to change the arrow's direction to Rachelle other arm.

Kagome smiled, "You left yourself open to an attack on the other side of your body when you blocked it so well on the other side. Just showing ways
that some enemies can influence their attacks."

Rachelle nodded, and they continued like that for a while, every now and
then Kagome changing the arrows direction with her miko powers.

"Try aiming at my head this time, or any other kill shot." Rachelle called.

Kagome raised her eyebrows and looked surprised. "Ya sure?"

"Yup!"

"Okay..."

Rachelle deflected most of the attacks, and Kagome still influenced others.
All in all, it was a pretty good training session...

~With Lora and Inuyasha~

"What's up with your ears?They're pointy. And you look like a cat." Lora
joked.

"I;m not a cat! I'm an inu hanyou!" Inuyasha repeated angrily.

"What's a 'henyoo'?" Lora said, making a face around the strange word.

"Han-you!!! A hanyou is a half demon!" Inuyasha growled.

"You kinda look like Nakita, is she a doggie henyoo too?" Lora smiled.

"Yes, she is an inu hanyou ." Inuyasha tried to attack, but Lora put her
sword up and kept on talking.

"So, why are you a henyoo?" Lora asked.

Inuyasha gave up on trying to correct her. "My father was a full dmon, my
mother was human. Can we fight now-"

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Lora asked, putting her sword down.

"Yeah, a brother. Do you want to train with your damn sword or not?"
Inuyasha asked impatiently.

Lora ignored his question."What's he like?" she asked, referring to his
brother. She cocked her head to one side.

"Youkai, full demon, Come on!"

"What's his name?"

"Why the hell does it concern you? Pick up your god damn sword or-"
Inuyasha yelled, drawing the attention of the others.

"Touche! Okay, let's go." Lora said, picking up her sword.

~With Sarah and Miroku~

"You seem different, you're not as perverted." Sarah said, swinging her
sword towards him, only for him to block it with his staff.

"Yeah, well, now I have hope for someone to bear my child!" Miroku said
cheerfully, blocking her sword from decapitating him.

"So, did you two actually do it?" Sarah asked slyly, taking a swipe at his
feet.

Miroku shook his head sadly, "No, but I have much reason to hope..." he
said with a perverted grin.

~With Cassy and Kouga~

"Let's spar, I already know how to use daggers, I use them back home. Thank
you, karate." Casy said grinning.

"Alright, I'll go easy on you though, I wouldn't want to hurt my wo-"
Kouga's words got cut off as Casy punched him in the gut.

"You'll regret going easy on me." she said teasingly.

They continued to fight savagely, Cassy surprising Kouga more than once
with her skill.

"Where'd you learn to fight like this?" he managed out between blows.

"Like I said earlier, karate. Plus, my family isn't exactly the friendiest, I got into lots of fights with them and at school." she answered. "Hey, can
we take a break?"

"Yeah. " Kouga answered, and Cassy dropped her fists, leaving her completely open, but Kouga was in the middle of a lunge for an attack when
he answered and couldn't stop his moumentum.

He accidentally punched Cassy in the face. "OW!!! GOD DAMNIT!!! ASSHOLE!!!"
she yelled, holding her nose in pain.

"I'M NOT AN ASSHOLE, BITCH! EVER HEAR OFAN ACCIDENT?!?!" Kouga yelled back.

"YEAH, SURE, AND THE SKY IS GREEN!!!" Cassy yelled.

"THE SKY IS BLUE YOU BAKA!!!"

"THERE'S A NEW THING CALLED SARCASM!!! LEARN IT!!!" Cassy screamed.

(Mizu: All these '!!!' are fun! ^_^)

Cassy stomped off, swearing under her breath, mostly about stupid wolves.
Kouga marched off in the opposite direction, muttering about crazy women.

Everone had heard the argument, the two's yelling was defeaning. They both had huge mouths. The group looked in confusion at which person to go after.
Rachelle broke the akward silence.

"I may be Cassy's best friend, but I know better than to bug her when she's
this pissed. I'll go after Kouga." Rachelle strode across the clearing
after Kouga.

"Cassy has a book, and daggers. There's no way I'm going." Nakita said
stubbornly.

"Yeah, she makes books hurt like hell." Sarah said, rubbing her head.

"I'm just too lazy to bother with it," Lora said shrugging.

"Feh, I'll go after the wench." Inuyasha said, bounding off.

~With Rachelle and Kouga~

It took her a while to find Kouga, mainly because he went so far. But it was easy to follow him. Just follow the path of freashly demolished trees.
Rachelle found him pacing angrily in a clearing. He spotted Rachelle when
she immediately.

"Did -she- send you?"he asked, "Cause to be honest, I don't want to talk to
her. Not even through you."

"No, I came to help." Rachelle said quietly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's just-No one can get me to act like this! One minute,
I'm estatic to just be around her, to be with her. The next, I'm angry as
hell. How in the world does she do it?" Kouga said.

"I don't know either.But at least you can be sure she's always sincere. She
often acts without thinking, so you know what her real reaction is to
things.She has a shorter temper than most. Kinda like you, I guess. Don't blame her, it's the way she is. But, a word of advice. While she shows how she really would react to things, she almost never shows her true emotions.
She learned not too from her Dad's family. You'll understand sooner or
later. Either that, or give up on your hopes of a romantic relationship
with her." Rachelle said reassuringly.

Kouga nodded. "There's no way I'll do that." he said definately.

"Well, ya okay to head back now?"

Kouga nodded. "Let's go."

And so they went.

~With Cassy and Inuyasha~

Inuyasha followed Cassy's scent to another clearing. (Mizu: I just love
clearings! everything always happens in them! Yume: Shut up and let them
read you baka.)

He found her throwing rocks into a small stream she had found.

"He makes me so mad sometimes..." she muttered to herself, "Why can't I
control my emotions...damn him..."

"You know, talking to yourself is a sign of madness." Inuyasha said
casually.

"I'm already a freak, let's go for crazy too" Cassy said with fake
cheerfullness as she turned around.

"You're not a freak!" Inuyasha's voice barked out gruffly.

Cassy looked up, startled, then she regained her usual mask. "Yeah, well,
what do you know." she said, turning back to the stream.

Inuyasha's hands yanked her around by her shoulders."I don't know much because you haven't given me a chance to!" Inuyasha said softly,"But what I
do know is that you remind me of me, hiding problems from your friends,
problems they don't understand, problems that eat at you from the inside, till you wonder of your doing the right thing by keeping it locked up. Only
you do something I could never do. You hide it with a smile. And you've done such a good job that you've fooled everyone, except Rachelle, and now
me." Inuyasha said quietly.

Casy looked up, eye's wide with surprise. Inuyasha looked down at her. "You
know, I guess I'm starting to think of you a something of a little
sister..." Inuyasha said, pulling her into a half-hug.

"Really,well, I guess I should call you Onii-san!" Cassy answered, smiling.
(Yume: Onii-san is either spelled with two i's or two e's but it's big
brother in Japanese.)

Inuyasha frowned,"Only when we're alone." he said.

" 'Kay." Cassy answered laughingly.

They walked back to camp, each thinking about the newly acquired family
member...

~At camp, with everyone, Cassy and Inuyasha just walk in~

"Hmm, I expected you two to be back sooner..." Rachelle joked, grinning.

"Shut up Rachelle. I'm with Kouga... if he apologizes for hitting me" Cassy
said, sneaking a glance at the wolf youkai out of the corner of her eyes.

Kouga foled his arms across his chest and looked to the sky.

"Like that'll ever happen." Rachelle muttered.

Kouga looked at her, glaring little eye daggers. Rachelle smiled, then
frowned as Kouga narrowed his eyes. "Don't hurt me!" She cried, running
behind Miroku who grinned.

Kouga glanced at Cassy, who looked at him expectantly. "Well?" she asked.

"Sorry." he muttered.

"What?" Cassy smiled.

"He said-" Casy cut Inuyasha off.

"No I want him to say it loud enough for me to hear with my pitiful human
ears." Cassy grinned.

Kouga glared at her angrily. "Sorry." he said under his breath.

"Kouga, you're going to have to speak up." Cassy smiled bigger at him,
looking all wide-eyed and innocent. Oh, looks are soo very deceiveving...

"I'M SORRY!!!" he yelled, then looked back up to the sky.

Inuyasha bursted out laughing at the wolf who was disciplined by a human wench. Nakita laughed because it was funny how Cassy and Kouga were acting.

"Thank you." she said walking over to Kouga smiling, "That's all I wanted."
she kissed him on the cheek.

He blushed slightly but kept looking to the sky.

Rachelle burst out laughing. "That was *hysterics* so corny! *hysterics*"
She rolled on the ground from laughing so hard.

Cassy strode over to Rachelle, her smile replaced with a frown. She bopped Rachelle on the top of her head,"Owm What the hell was that for?" Rachelle
asked, rubbing her head.

"This was supposed to be a fluff moment and you ruined it!" Cassy yelled at
her.

Rachelle stuck out her tongue at Cassy, Cassy pulled out a dagger. Rachelle
qucikly withdrew her tongue.

"That's what I thought." Cassy said calmly, putting her dagger into only of
her many pockets.

"I hate you." Rachelle muttered inder her breath.

"What was that?" Cassy asked, reaching for her daggers, Rachelle grabbed
her sword, and Cassy withdrew her daggers.

"Just Bring it!." Rachelle said smiling.

"As you wish." Cassy smirked
