"Well, I'm sure there is a completely logical explanation to this. We just have to think hard." said Kagome, trying to act
cheerful.
"Well, I'm thinking, and I still don't see anything logical about this midget town." said InuYasha, trying to be as difficult as possible.
"We aren't going to get anywhere if we just stand here and fight over the situation. We have to approach the predicament like
adults and not like bickering children. Right, Sango?" said Miroku, feeling he had to be the mature one.
"Yeah, right." agreed Sango.
Koga stood up and began walking towards the village of midgets.
"Where the hell do you think your going?" InuYasha called after him.
"It seems none of you 'adults' have a plan. So I'm gonna go ask for help. Got a problem with that, Mutt-Face?" Koga snapped.
"You call me Mutt-Face once more and you'll be sorry!" InuYasha warned.
"Cut it out, you two!"If you two keep fighting I'll sit right here and won't budge." Kagome threatened.
"Alright, I'm sorry. Can we get going now?" replied Koga.
"Thank you, Koga. At least your mature enough to apologize." Kagome praised.
At that comment, Koga turned arounf and stuck his tongue out at InuYasha.
"Why you little..." InuYasha growled.
"What did I say, InuYasha?" yelled Kagome.
"Fine! He started it anyway." InuYasha mumbled.
The group began to follow Koga to the village. About half-way there, Kagome noticed that Sesshomaru wasn't following them.
"Aren't you coming, Sesshomaru-Sama?" she asked.
"Yes, I did tell you that I would make a temporary alliance with your group. But do you see any danger? I am waisting my time with you all." Sesshomaru snapped.
"But we don't really know yet. It may be worth your while after all. Besides, I think InuYasha may need your help somewhere
along the way." said Kagome, trying to convince him.
"Very well then. I will travel with you. But I will not help InuYasha under any circumstances. Is that clear, Miko? he informed her in a harsh tone.
"Alright, that's fine." answered Kagome, slightly frightened.
Kagome stood still, waiting for Sesshomaru to get up. When he finally roused, they all continued towards the village.
As they neared, the midgets came into view more clearly. This excited Rin very much.
"Look, Lord Sesshomaru! Little people! she cried in excitement.
"Yes, Rin. I see them as well. Now no more of that yelling. Your excitement is rather annoying." Sesshomaru replied.
"Yes, Lord Sama." she replied, her feelings hurt.
Finally, Koga entered the village.
"Hey! Midget guys! Where the hell are we? he asked. That was Koga's way of being polite.
"You, my boy, are in Oz!" announced one of the midgets.
"Oz? What is Oz?" asked Koga, rather confused.
"Oz is here, Oz is now, Oz is everywhere." replied the little person.
"Ok then, Um...what are you?" asked Koga.
"I am a Munchkin!" cried the happy little midget.
When Rin heard the little man's squeaky voice, she couldn't help but giggle.
"Your cute!" she called to the Munchkin.
"Rin...silence. Do not converse with the little beasts." Sesshomaru ordered.
"But their sooo cute!" she squealed.
"Control yourself, girl." Sesshomaru ordered.
"Yes, My Lord." she answered.
InuYasha was close behind Sesshomaru and heard every word. He looked amused with himself.
"So, Sesshomaru. I see all you could get were little girls and toads to serve you!" InuYasha musesd.
"How dare you! I am not a toad!" shrieked Jaken.
"Enough! Ignore the half-breed. He means nothing." Sesshomaru told them.
"Yes, My Lord." they answered in unison.
Back in the center of the village, Koga was still conversing with the Munchkins.
"So, do any of you gremlins know a way outta here?" he asked them.
"If you desire something, you must follow the Yellow Brick Road. It will lead you to what you need!" replied the happy little munchkin.
"You guys hear that? We gotta follow this yellow road to get out." Koga called behind him.
"Does it lead to another well?" asked Kagome.
"I don't know. But we'll find out if we follow it to the end." answered Koga.
So began the journey of the nine members of their little group. Let us hope that most of their problems don't lie in their
disliking of eachother.
