Hello again. This is the third chapter. Now we are going to get somewhere. Enjoy!

I do not own Inuyasha or anyone of the characters. They all belong to Rumiko Takahashi. Sort of makes them slaves, don't ya think? Just joking! Moving on.

"Are we there yet?" Kagome asked as she and Inuyasha walked. "Stop complaining would you?" Inuyasha demanded. "We're almost there." Kagome sighed and looked around. 'This isn't exactly the way I wanted it now that we're alone.' she thought.

They were both quiet for a while. "So um, Inuyasha. Do you think it was a good idea to leave Sango alone with Miroku?" Kagome said trying to start up a conversation. Inuyasha kicked a rock. "Sango can handle herself. Besides Shippo is also there so Miroku probably won't try anything to serious." he answered.

Kagome nodded and for another moment they were quiet again. Kagome looked at Inuyasha. 'This is hopeless.' she thought. ' I guess I'll never be or amount to anything Kikyo was.'

Kagome turned to look around the woods. Inuyasha noticed the sad look on Kagome's face. "Kagome. Are you okay?" he asked. Kagome looked at Inuyasha and put on one of her fake smiles. "Um, yeah I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Let's just find those herbs." she answered. Inuyasha frowned. 'She's hiding something from me' he thought.

Just then there was a rustle in the bushes. "Who's there? Show yourself!" Inuyasha yelled. A head popped out of the bushes. The person smiled. It was a girl cat demon. She had brown eyes and black ears sticking out of her brown bouncy hair.

"Hi!" she said in a singsong voice. "I'm sorry if I startled you." Kagome gave a sigh of relief. She could easily she the creature was harmless. Inuyasha made a face. "Who are you?" he asked in a demanding voice.

The girl came out of the bushes wearing a rather dirty kimono. "Me?" she said pointing to herself. "My name's Kila, but people call me Kiki. I'm just your normal kitty girl and I'm about her age." Kira said pointing to Kagome.

Kagome smiled. She already liked Kira. "Nice to meet you Kira." Kira walked up to the twosome and shook both of their hands. " Same here. What's your name's?' she asked.

"My name is Kagome and this is Inuyasha." Kagome said. Kira took a look at Inuyasha. She then pulled on his ears.

"Hey!" Inuyasha yelled. "Gosh, my ears aren't as soft as yours." Kira said in awe. "Stop it wrench!" Inuyasha growled. "Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted but Kira just laughed. "I like you two." She said. "I think we'll get along just fine."

"KIRA!" someone called out. " Oh darn it." Kira grumbled. "She found me." "Who?" Inuyasha questioned. Out of the bashes came another cat, who had black hair, brown ears, and had eyes like Kira that were less lively.

"Kira where have you been?" she shouted. She then looked at Inuyasha. "Well hello!" she said now smiling. " Oh Keiko. This is Inuyasha and Kagome. Kira informed. "Guys this is my elder sister Keiko." "Half sister." Keiko said shooting Kira a look.

"Hi." Kagome said to Keiko. Keiko completely ignored her tough and walked over to Inuyasha. You must be Inuyasha." You're awfully cute." she said smiling. Inuyasha slightly backed away from Keiko. 'There she goes flirting again.' Kira thought while sighing.

"You know," Keiko said. "You should come to the mansion my father owns." "Mansion?" Kagome gasped while looking at Kira's dirty clothes. "Your surprised right?" Keiko said shooting Kira another dirty look. Maybe because Kira's wearing that raggedy kimono!"

"It's not raggy!" Kira shouted. "It's mothers!" Keiko humphed. "YOUR mother! We should have gotten rid of that thing when she died." Kira made a face of hurt and looked down at the ground. 'Keiko reminds me a lot of Sesshomaru.' Kagome thought.

"Sorry. We can't go with you." Inuyasha said. "We're looking for herb that grows near the end of the woods" Keiko smiled even more. "Oh, you must mean the herb Gerenda." she said. "Our mansion in is located right there!"

"Oh" Inuyasha mumbled. He wouldn't have mind it if he were going with just Kagome and Kira. Keiko just seemed to make him feel funny. Was it just him or was she hitting on him?

"Come on!" Keiko said grabbing his hand. "Ugh!" Inuyasha said while being dragged. "Inuyasha…" Kagome said. She didn't like the way Keiko was acting around him. Kira could sense the worry in Kagome's voice.

"Let's catch up." She said taking Kagome by the arm. "Okay." Kagome said quietly thinking to herself. No way was she about to leave Keiko with Inuyasha.

Did you like it? Then please review! Keiko a flirt and is a bi… never mind. She is the bad guy in this story. (NO DUH!) This is not the Keiko from Yu Yu Hakasho so don't get confused okay?
