Disclaimer: I have a better chance at world domination than ever owning Inu Yasha...actually, they're both equally unlikely.
A/N: Sorry peoples, I've been a little out of it lately (i've been kinda sick). And, I got Adobe PhotoDeluxe, so I've been playing around with that for a bit I got a whole bunch of pics edited and I have pics up at my account on (check 'em out if you want, username's the same)...and, I've been writing my own story (yay me! it'll be sooo cool!) and working on a whole bunch of one-shots and some short stories for a friend of mine...(to some it up, I've been a bit preoccupied...)so yeah, even though it's taken a bit, never fear, an update is here. On with the review responses, then the chapter.
Review Responses:
Kagome M.K: here .: yawns:. (man I'm tired) ya go...
leeania: I agree, Inu Yasha is being stupid...things would be a lot easier if he just helped Kagome (but then the story would be pointless)... I never get any Valentines...I just get to watch my friend gush over the 'adorable' stuffed animal her boyfriend got her...no offense to her or him though...
zeal of the holys: Lol, thanks, that's just what I needed. I graciously accept this mustard, and I would like to thank my fan club for thinking of little old me. .:blows kisses:. although...i'm still not sure if mustard is drinkable... .:ponders the thought:. Well, thanks again, that was really sweet of you.
Overworkunderpaid: Thanks. What if I don't wanna go do my homework?
x-cleverclaws-x: ask and you shall receive. Lol, only if it considers writing (or drawing) though, I don't have anything of value...

Chapter 13- No Idea...
"Raising the dead you say?" Urasue took on a smile similar to Kagome's.
"Yes, I need you to raise two souls that perished at the hands of my group. They will be a key part in my plans." Kagome's voice took on a darker tone. If that was possible.
"I shall not ask about your plans to solve a trivial problem. But if I may, who are these souls?" Urasue asked curiosity lacing her withered voice.
"Naraku and Sesshoumaru." Kagome replied, her eyes narrowing.
Urasue let out a gasp and her smile faltered. "Y-your group was the one that had slain masters Naraku and Sesshoumaru?"
"Yes." Kagome replied cocking an eyebrow as if to challenge the old lady.
"I would be most honored to raise the dead souls of masters Naraku and Sesshoumaru." The old women averted Kagome's eyes to show her respect for the girl.
Kagome nodded curtly in thanks and turned to leave the cave. She had walked really far in these stupid heels and now her feet were killing her.
"What are you up to, little girl...?" Urasue whispered to herself, staring after Kagome.

"You promised her what!" Miroku shrieked in a very un-miroku-like manner.
"Be with her forever. Jeez, could you like not do that again?" Inu Yasha asked clamping his hands over his ears.
"Sorry, but why would you do that? She's not even human." Miroku asked not understanding Inu Yasha at all at that moment.
"I didn't find out till after I had made the promise. Then I made a new one, to keep her safe from hunters." Inu Yasha reminisced sadly, seemingly forgetting that Miroku was there.
Miroku slapped a hand to his forehead in disbelief, then quickly retracted it with a wince when he noted that his head still hurt from Inu Yasha's multiple beatings to it. "Inu Yasha..." Miroku sighed. "That was a very, very stupid thing to do..."
"So was you smacking your head, but you don't hear me saying anything about it." Inu Yasha muttered testily.

"Brother, how much farther is the place we seek?" Manten asked looking across at his elder brother Hiten.
"Not much, be patient brother." Hiten was beginning to become annoyed with his brothers never ceasing flow of questions. It wouldn't be long till he tore his beloved brother a new one.

Kouga's mind was more muddled than usual. All he could remember was Ayame's voice and pain...down there...
Kouga groaned. He was flat on his back in an unfamiliar yard. He sat up slowly and groggily rubbed his eyes.
It all came back to him in a rush. Ayame had been trying to seduce him, and he had passed out with excitement. He couldn't recall why he hurt...down there...though.

Ayame glanced out at the cityscape from her perch high in one of the tall trees in the national forest.
The city looked so beautiful from here, where one couldn't see the grime and dirt of the city. Ayame being part wolf demon still sure could smell it though.
She wrinkled her nose in disgust at the smell of the city. It really reeked. She let out a gasp of surprise when she noted that the sun would be rising any minute. She quickly hopped down from her perch and high-tailed it back home.
Well, she reasoned to herself, I would call it home if there wasn't a certain nameless bitc-person living there with us. coughkikyo-bitchcough.
Ayame smiled slightly, she was basically having conversations with herself. If she was lucky she would be able to go into a hyper sleep like before and not have to worry about these trivial mortal problems.

Sango sighed. As much as she hated to admit it, she-they needed Miroku's help. She dialed his cell phone as she walked toward the school.
"Hello Miroku I-"
'I'm not here right now, leave a message after the sexy song, and if this is Mom, press one and ignore that thing about the sexy song...and if this is my landlord, this isn't Miroku's phone, and you have the wrong number and-'
Miroku's voice was cut off by some odd make out music, but he could be heard cursing at the answering machine in the background. Sango stifled a giggle and scrunched her nose up in disgust as she caught just what the singer was saying... "Eww...Hey, Miroku it's Sango, if you're there please pick up if not call me back when you get the chance, it's very important...You dumbass I know you're there! I-"
She cut herself off as she noticed that Miroku was sitting in th passenger seat of Inu Yasha's ...well, she guessed that it could be called a car, it looked kinda old and beat up to her though...
She ran foreword and knocked on the passenger side window.
"Miroku?" Sango asked uncertainness creeping into her voice.
Miroku rolled down his window, holding a hand up to silence Inu Yasha's never ending flow of foul language. "What is it Sango m'dear?"
"We need your help getting rid of Kikyo...Did Inu Yasha just growl?" Sango shot a puzzled look at the dog hanyou, who was baring his teeth at her.
"Yeah, exnay on the ikyokay." Miroku said making slicing motions across his throat.
"Oh...okay, well, then could you please step out of the car so I can talk to you without angering his mighty hanyou-ness?" Sango asked. She looked over her shoulder and noticed that it was almost dawn. "On second thought, could i get a ride with you?"
"Sure." Miroku replied, only slightly aware of her nervousness.
Sango hopped into the backseat of the car. Sango closed her eyes, and her brow began to twitch in annoyance. "Could you just drive please?" She asked Inu Yasha, who was growling at the mere fact that she was in the same vehicle as he was.
"Keh, I don't know where you want to go." Inu Yasha ground out glaring at her reflection in the rearview mirror.
"Home." Sango replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Where's that?" he growled.
"You don't know where we live?" Sango asked, her jaw dropping in disbelief at the fact that Kagome hadn't told Inu Yasha where they lived yet.
"Someone never told me." He emphasized the word someone.
"Oh...okay, drive out of the parking lot and go down to the supermarket, take a left, then a right at the playground, then drive down the street and we're the third ...house...in."
Inu Yasha just gaped at Sango.
"Just drive." Sango replied leaning back in the seat.

She has no idea what she's dealing with...
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, bring back those who no one trust. The masters of darkness rise again, let their evil souls of old resound tenfold on the unsuspecting world."
()-
Kagome shivered as she watched the vehicle approach the hideout. She noticed a flash of silver from the drivers' side of the vehicle. This was going to be bad, she couldn't ignore what instinct was telling her.
()-
Inu Yasha pulled into the driveway suspiciously.
"Are you sure this is where you live?" He growled out.
Sango rolled her eyes. "No, I have no idea where I live. I'm just a stupid female."
"That's not what I meant." Inu Yasha ground out.
"Sure." Sango dragged out the word to show that she didn't believe him. "Let's just go in okay?" Sango had to refrain from rolling her eyes again.
"You're inviting me in?" Inu Yasha said disbelievingly.
Sango nodded. "And the lecher too."
Miroku stopped the pout that had almost worked its way onto his handsome face. His eyes lit up. "You have female friends living with you, right?"
Sango cuffed him on the head. "Don't do anything stupid, now."

Kagome groaned inwardly and got a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach when she saw just who was in the vehicle. She must have pissed off some pretty powerful god to have deserved this.
"What're you looking at?" Ayame asked, slightly out of breath seeing as she ran all the way there from the forest.
"Him." Kagome gestured out the window.
"Ah." Ayame said a knowing smile creeping across her face.
Kagome turned to face her with a pained look.
Ayame's smile slipped when she noted that it wasn't love in Kagome's eyes but rather something akin to fear. "What's wr-"
Ayame never got a chance to finish her inquiry because at that moment Kikyo came barreling out of her room and straight for the front door.
Poor Inu Yasha never saw her coming...
()-
Kouga felt slightly betrayed as he remembered the events that had occurred earlier that night.
Ayame had turned against him. It just wasn't fair!
He didn't know what had caused her to turn, all he knew was that he had to go meet Hiten and Manten, his hired guns, in less than an hour.

Kanna sighed, looking around the two bedroom apartment she shared with her older sister.
Her aforementioned sister had been spending a lot of time alone in her bedroom, no doubt thinking of her lost lover. She wasn't sure how her sister had fallen in love with the stoic demon lord, but what she did know was that her sister was too far gone with grief to run the agency anymore.
Since Kagura's leave of absence, Kanna had been left in charge.
The white haired youth made herself a cup of coffee and slowly walked to her own room. She opened the door and walked over to her bed. She found the white walls of her room oddly comforting.

"Lord Kouga, I trust you are doing well?" Hiten greeted with a slight smile as he walked up to the dark haired young man.
Kouga snorted. "Did you know that females can 'knee' hard?" A pained expression crossed his features.
"What the-" Hiten cut himself off as he noted the ice pack Kouga had pressed against his crotch. He winced in sympathy.
Manten stumbled out of the car, obviously a little on the drunk side.
Kouga glared at Manten.
"This might have to wait until your brother is sobered up." Kouga said, looking at Manten, but obviously speaking to Hiten.
Hiten snorted. "I don't even know how he got drunk in the first place. We can just ignore him while we talk about the terms of our business though."
Kouga smirked. "You have no idea what you're getting yourselves into."

A/N: I know that was kinda short...and it shoulda been longer, but I'm sorry my brain is all muddled up from sleep-deprivation and being sick...
I apologize again,
See y'all when I'm feeling better.
(does that sound corny or what?)
