Phoenix: Chapter 5!

Crystal: YAYY!

Phoenix: Oh, I'm so happy, I could…..I could not experiment on my fez hat monkeys!

Crystal: (Gasp) To the reviewers that's basically impossible! She lives to torment those monkeys!

Disclaimer: Roses are red,

We don't own Inuyasha,

So if you sue,

Screw you!

Kagome turned to Miroku and Sango, only to realize they were already asleep. Though Miroku's hand had begun inching toward Sango and Sango had begun to inch towards a boulder. She sighed and lied down. 'I wonder what the old hag meant by "I'll need those around me?" I could understand Miroku and Sango but Inuyasha? I nee that guy as much as I need a tumor.'

Kagome closed her eyes and the last thing she heard was the slight rustle in the bushes.

Meanwhile

'It seems like the dog has gained some allies. No matter it won't stop me from killing him.' The shadow moved from the bushes to a tree and smirked, 'Though the loud girl seems quite………delicious.'

Chapter 5

"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

"For the twentieth time, no we're not there yet, you" Inuyasha was cut off by a shoe aimed at his head.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence if you know what's good for you…..now give me back my shoe." Kagome said, glaring at him.

Inuyasha ignored her and threw the shoe into a bush.

"Hey, you big jerk," Kagome whacked him and went after her shoe. When she came out she realized how far away everybody was. "Wait for me!"

All of a sudden a rustle from her side grabbed at her attention. She looked at the bush she had just fished her shoe out of, whimpered and fast-walked away, so she didn't seem like a total coward.

Kagome giggled to herself as she walked, "Oh, come on Kagome, just because you were sucked into the past and are now searching for a magic jewel doesn't mean that there are creatures that want to kill me in a bush." Kagome started laughing hysterically until another rustle was heard. She screamed and ran off to find the others.

"It's getting dark; we should make camp for the night. We'll reach the village by tomorrow afternoon." Sango said sitting down beside the eagerly nodding Kagome.

"No way, we will keep going and reach the village by tomorrow morning." Inuyasha growled, unhappy with stopping.

Kagome gave him a look before saying, "All in favor of Sango's idea say aye."

Miroku raised his hand and said, "Aye!" He burrowed into his blanket and was asleep instantly.

Sango sweat dropped, "I guess we're staying, unless Inuyasha wants to drag Miroku the whole way to the village."

"No way, he'd think I was you and try to grope me."

Kagome giggled at the thought. "You'd probably like it, though."

Inuyasha looked mortified before shuddering, "That's it. You're too freaky. I'm out of here." He climbed into a tree and sat there.

"You know, all of a sudden he reminds me of a cat." Sango said, staring at the pouting man.

"Yup, an angry alley cat," Kagome smirked.

"EEEEK," Sango spun around to see Miroku, still asleep, with his hand raised to her butt, "God, even in his sleep!"

Kagome laughed and settled down to sleep.

"Wake up, woman!" Inuyasha said, angrily. He poked and prodded the sleepy Kagome.

"Mmmm….Leave me alone, Buyo... you're getting' to be a fat kitty."

Inuyasha sported a stunned look, "I am not a cat!"

Sango smiled, "But you are fat, I saw you eat 5 packages of that on the road crap you feed us."

Inuyasha glared at her, "Just go wake up Miroku, 'k!"

Sango shook her head, "Yeah sure, like I'm actually going to do that." She turned away from him and stared at Miroku, willing him to wake himself up so she didn't have to. Miroku turned around and mumbled, "Sango…I'd love to stay the night………"

Sango growled and hit him on the head, effectively waking him up. "Stupid pervert."

Miroku looked at Sango, "It wasn't a dream!" and he launched himself onto her.

"Ahh! Get off!" She kicked him in the head, rendering him unconscious again.

Kagome rubbed her eyes, "What? Inuyasha, what happened to Buyo? I had a dream that he belly flopped onto his stomach and killed him."

They all sweatdropped and Inuyasha glanced at her, "You're nuts you know that, right?"

Kagome smiled cheerfully, "Yup! I've only been told every day of my life. So, where's the food."

Inuyasha yawned, "I dunno, someone ate all the 'on the road crap' as Sango called it."

Sango glared at him, "You're the one who ate it, moron."

"Anyway, I'll have to go hunting. You know kill some small game."

Kagome gasped, horrified, "You have to be joking!"

"Nope."

Kagome glared at him, "Fine, then I'm going with you." 'If only to make sure you don't catch anything.'

"Fine," Inuyasha walked off into the woods.

Kagome blinked, "Hey! Wait for me!" And she took off after him.

Kagome looked through the bushes, trying to see where Inuyasha had run off to. She stepped though bush and walked around. "Inuyasha? Come here, boy! Come back home...Don't make me get the newspaper out."

All of a sudden she heard a rustle, "Inuyasha, if you're trying to scare me it won't work!" she stepped toward the area that the rustle came from. She pushed back the tall grass and screamed at what she saw. Floating in front of her was a pink balloon with a face!

"Ahhh," Kagome screamed as she hit the balloon with a stick she picked up.

The balloon slowly began deflating, which gave her a view of the little boy behind it.

"Hey! That's mine!" The little boy yelled as he picked up the remains of the balloon.

Kagome glared at him, "Well, it's not nice to scare people for amusement.

The boy shook his head, "I wasn't doing it for amusement, I wanted to see if you had any food on you."

'So he wanted to rob me? Well, that's a whole lot better.' Kagome thought giving the boy a look over; He was quite small and he had bright red hair. He would've been adorable if his face wasn't smudged. "You know, your parents wouldn't like to know that they're kid was trying to rob someone."

The boy stared at the ground. "I don't have parents, they're dead."

Kagome's eyes filled with tears, which was weird because if she was home she would've told the kid to go jump off a bridge or something. What's this place doing to her and is it for better or worse? "Aw, well you can come join me and my friends."

The boy looked at her as if trying to figure out if she was kidding. "….Fine. By the way my name's Shippo."

Kagome smiled and took Shippo's hand.

When they arrived at the camp Inuyasha glared at her. "Aw, man! I thought I lost you!" He stared at the strange boy hanging off Kagome's hand. "You go to get food and you get a kid! We can't eat that……can we?"

Shippo hid himself in Kagome, who looked at Inuyasha, a horrified look in her eyes. "No! His name's Shippo! And he is not to be eaten! If we should eat any one it should be you!"

Shippo stuck his tongue out at him, "Yeah, 'cause you have the most fat!"

Inuyasha growled, "I do not, the wench does!" He lunged at Shippo, who yelped and ran into Kagome's arms. She glared at him, "You leave him alone, right now!"

Inuyasha continued going after Shippo until Kagome grabbed his ear. He whimpered and promised not to touch the boy anymore.

Kagome plopped down, satisfied, and took a bite of the rabbit Inuyasha had gotten and Sango had cooked in her absence. She tried her best not to imagine what the rabbit looked like when it was alive.

When they finished Inuyasha got them all up, "Let's go. It's time to get up!"

Kagome spent the rest of their trip talking to Shippo and explaining why they were on they're on there way to the small village. But she soon was cut off.

"Look, there it is," cried Miroku, pointing to the community.

As they entered the village they saw that the town seemed more rich then the others. Kagome noticed that woman seemed snootier. They all turned their noses on them. But Kagome didn't care and asked one guy in a group where they could find Satori.

The guy looked down at her and smirked at his friends, "Sure, in fact, I'll show you." He grabbed her hand and she pulled away.

"I don't think so. Could you just tell me where it is?"

The guy scowled and shook his head, "No. I insist. I'll show you."

Inuyasha was the one who came to her rescue, "Listen bud, just tell us where to find the woman."

The guy took one look at Inuyasha and nodded nervously, "Just over there." He pointed down the street to a small house.

Inuyasha gave him a smug look before taking off to the house with Kagome, Miroku and Sango in pursuit. When they reached the house Kagome noticed a bow and arrow on the outside of the door. She knocked.

"Yes," said a young woman on the other side of the door.

"Um, we were sent by Kaede to get a jewel called the Shikon." Kagome said to the obviously nervous woman.

"How do I know that? What does she look like?"

"Um, well, she's old, talks in riddles and is a little crazy."

Satori opened the door, "Come on in. I believe you."

Kagome smiled at the others and stepped into the small, messy house. It actually looked like someone had looted the place. "What happened?"

"You aren't the first people who have been looking for the Shikon. A man was here a while ago."

Inuyasha seemed to perk up, "Who? What did he look like?"

"I am not sure; I never got a good look at him before he knocked me out and ransacked my home. But they never found it since I keep it in a place close to my heart." She pulled out a chain with a pink jewel on it.

Kagome gasped and reached out to touch it, not noticing it glow slightly under her hand. However, Satori did and she smiled. "Here." She took off the chain and put it on Kagome.

Kagome smiled and hugged her, "Thanks; you don't know how much this means to me."

But they didn't notice that through the open window a crow sat, listening to them. When Kagome and the others were outside the door it swooped down and took the jewel.

"Oh, hell no!" Kagome growled and grabbed the bow and arrows on the door. "I'll kill it!" she aimed and it hit.

In an instant a light engulfed the sky, a bright, pink light, and scattered everywhere.

Miroku looked at Sango, "This can't be what I think it is."

Sango looked down and picked up a small shard, "I think it can."

Inuyasha came up behind them, "Oh, hell no! You broke the jewel!" He turned to Kagome who was still shocked she even hit the crow that was dripping off the house.

"……….Ooops?"
