Hey it's me again, updating isn't easy for me due to the fact that I didn't plan this, I just started something, and went with it. Well, again, I don't own Inuyasha and his friends, just Andi and her boyfriend Ari. Read and enjoy!

After the battle with the giant worm and a brief meeting with a puppet of Naraku, Ari learns a little about the sacred jewel shards and the mission Inuyasha and Kagome is on. Then Myoga, a servant flea of Inuyasha, decides to tell a story of another jewel.

Begin chapter 5

"There is a legend about another jewel, called The Jewel of the Lost," began Myoga, "It's made from when a couple from one time is transported to another. This causes a time flux problem, due to the fact that they may be reincarnations of another couple. When it was just Kagome it was ok because Kikyo was already dead, and it was only one person instead of a couple. Now, how to obtain the jewel is a different story. First, the couple must have a severe pain strike one of them. An example would be one dies in front of the other one, or in the others arms." Ari flinched at the thought of Andi dieing in his arms. "Then, the jewel will form from the sorrow of the alive party. Although, the greater the sorrow, the more potent the jewel's power."

"What's the jewel's power?" Inuyasha asked.

"It's power, Master Inuyasha, is that it destroys one thing, to summon another. So, if Naraku sacrifices something big enough, or enough sacrifices to summon all of the jewel shards," finished Myoga.

"Oh joy, he may win with this jewel. I knew you weren't anything but trouble!" Inuyasha said with a fury.

"Me? You dumb ass! I didn't know this would happen!" Ari revolted. Inuyasha and Ari stared evilly at one another for a while before Kagome and Andi broke up the fighting.

"Can't you be nice to him?" asked Andi.

"Nope, it's badass regulation number 359, 2nd paragraph, 3rd sub-paragraph, and the 1st sentence: Never be nice to other badasses to show friendship," Ari replied with a smart-ass tone in his voice.

"Well, we have to protect Andi and Ari from Naraku, and if we don't he may get all the shards at once," Miroku said.

"No shit! I thought he'd let us go knowing this information!" Ari said.

"Ari your such a rude young man," Sango said.

"Really? I'd never guess, and I have to deal with this everyday," Andi said with an overly obvious sarcastic tone in her voice. Ari half-smiled and started walking into the forest on the trail to the next town. They got about half way there when Ari started to move to the edge of the trail, then into the trees.

"Where do you think you're going?" Shippo asked.

"I'm going to take a piss, can I go do that?" Ari replied. He continued to walk into the woods. As he started to light a cigarette, he saw the bushes rattle and shake like something went in there. He smiled and jumped in the bush. After a short scuffle, he dragged out a green skinned waist high toad wearing a brown outfit of a priest and a black priest hat. He was holding a staff that looked to have two staffs twisted together, one with the face of a young girl and the other of an old man. Ari managed to hold the little annoyance and drag him to the others. When he got there he found some person with silver hair and one arm, fighting Inuyasha, claw to claw. Ari stood back, still holding the dressed staff holding toad, and watched in confusion.

"Master Sesshomaru, please help me!" squawked the toad man. The warrior fighting Inuyasha turned and saw Ari holding the toad.

"Oh, so you're the half-brother of Inuyasha, Sesshomaru. Hi, nice to meet you, and why was this guy in the brush?" Ari said as he held up his captive. Sesshomaru just stood there and brushed his long silver hair out of his face with his right hand, the other one wasn't there.

"Yes, I'm the half-brother of this pathetic excuse of a demon," he said. Ari scoffed and lifted up the captured creature.

"This is?" Ari asked.

"That is my servant, Jaken," Sesshomaru replied.

"Is he like your Myoga, just more annoying?" Ari said sarcastically.

"I beg your pardon? What do you mean by that?" asked Jaken.

"What I mean, you annoying little toad, is do you get information for your lord Sesshomaru or do you do that with a personality that is more annoying," Ari said in anger. Sesshomaru scoffed and chuckled a little bit before Ari got pissed and dropped Jaken and ran up to Sesshomaru's face. "You are really getting on my goddamn nerves. Can a please get a friggin' answer out of you?"

"Yes, he sounds as if he is the same as this "Myoga" you speak of," he finally answered. "You are, Ari? Are you not?" he asked.

"Yeah, what's it to ya?" Sesshomaru suddenly attacked with this thin katana that Ari stopped before he could unsheathe it. "Why did you try to attack me with that butter knife?"

"Testing your reflexes, judging whether or not you are who you say you are."

"Why the hell would I lie?"

"You may be some impersonating demon, that may not even be worth my time fighting."

"Do you mean me whooping your ass? Yeah, I'm game." Sesshomaru smiled and jumped back, hand glowing a sickly green color. Ari did nothing but pop his neck and stood in a fighting stance. Sesshomaru lunged at him with his green claw glowing with poison. He struck, causing the land below where Ari was to shatter. Ari, still standing where he was, faded like an illusion. Ari was up in the air about twenty feet staring down upon Sesshomaru. He smiled and landed just three yards from him. "Boy, you move fast. But I move faster," he snickered. "Neat little trick too. I have some of my own," Ari said as he held a fireball in his right hand. He started tossing it back and forth between his hands. "How about a game? I toss this from me to you, than you try to hit it back. As you hit it back to me, it moves faster. Then I hit it back, and it gets faster still until one of us gets hit. You move from where your standing, unless you try to hit the fireball, you lose. Sound fun?" Sesshomaru just stood there.

"Fine, I'll play your little game." With that Ari tossed it lightly to Sesshomaru. Unconvinced that this would be a challenge, he lightly knocked it back. Seeing his displeasure, Ari hit it back as hard as he could, smiling as he did so. The fireball moved fast enough to catch Sesshomaru off guard, but he managed to knock it back to Ari. Being really cheap, when Ari knocked it back, he flew up in the air. Sesshomaru had a harder time knocking it up at Ari than Ari had knocking it down. Eventually, Ari and Sesshomaru where knocking it back and forth so fast, both were tired and thought that there was more than one fireball, Ari had to use two hands, and Sesshomaru had to use a knee and his arm to keep up.

"Hey, why, don't, we, just, call, this, a, draw," Ari managed to say. Sesshomaru nodded in agreement and knocked the fireball completely out of country, and it burned out as soon as it was out of sight. As Ari landed, he smiled at Sesshomaru and said, "Hey, you did good to keep up, I thought I might have an upper hand having two arms and all. Quick thinking with the knee though." Really not in the mood to talk to a human, Sesshomaru started to leave until he saw Andi, as soon as he did, Ari stood in between him and Andi. "Touch her, and die. I don't care if you are a full-blooded demon."

"My job was to steal her and give her to Naraku, but my idiot half brother had to protect her. So I fought him until you challenged me to that game of speed. Now I intend to finish what I came to start." Ari burst into flames and stood in front of him. Sesshomaru didn't want to fight him but he knew it was pointless to try and go around him. He struck at Ari's head but then quickly returned his hand. The flames had reached a temperature of melting skin. With his hand scorched, Sesshomaru decided to leave. He started walking off and stopped to turn around to say one final word to Ari. "She is a beautiful lady. I wouldn't hurt her, just turn her over to Naraku."

"Hey, Sesshomaru. Tell Naraku this: If you want my girl, you'll have to get through me, and nobody has gotten through me other than Andi, so you better have got a shit load of luck on your side. If you are lucky enough to get her, take this advice, run and hide. Run and hide, cause I will hunt you down and rip you to pieces and torture you till you die."

"I'll tell him. Inuyasha,"

"What?!" Inuyasha yelled back.

"The Jewel of the Lost will be mine, I'll find a way to get it and my arm back." With that, Sesshomaru left without any words. Ari put his flame out with the disappearance of Sesshomaru. He turned to Andi and embraced her.

"You ok?" he asked.

"Yeah, are you?" she replied. He nodded. He was more worried with her than himself. Miroku took a quill and a scroll and started to take notes on where to hold a girl and how so sneak close, but then Sango saw that and hit the back of Miroku's head. Ari smiled and started to walk back on the trail.

As they continued onto the trail to the next town, Miroku pulled Ari to the back to have a private conversation with him.

"Ari, I think you need to be careful about going off into the woods like that. If it were not for Inuyasha, Andi would have been kidnapped."

"Hey monk, I think that she'd put up a hell of a fight before being kidnapped. So don't sweat it man," Ari replied calmly and put his hands in his pockets. He started staring off into the sky and thinking about Andi. Miroku placed a hand on his shoulder and jarred him slightly, Ari stopped and looked at him dead in the eye. Miroku had a look in his eye about something. Ari just glared because he knew what he was going to ask.

"Ari, you know that you can't do that it's-"

"Irresponsible I know! Don't lecture me!" he yelled as he slapped Miroku's hand from his shoulder. "You don't know anything about me! You can't make any lecture about responsibility and shit like that! My life is tough without stupid things like that! My mom's a slut, my dad's a drunk, school sucks, and the only good thing about my life is Andi, and even her parents think I'm unworthy of her love! So don't you dare lecture me about responsibility or anything like that you stupid monk!" Miroku stopped and sighed. Ari just ran off ahead and went to a roof of a house in the next town. He placed his hands behind his head and stared at the sky as he lied back on the roof. He was there for a while before a red flash appeared before him and landed behind him. He knew Inuyasha was the only one who would get that close when he's in a bad mood.

"Hey," Inuyasha said as he lied next to him and relaxed on the roof.

"Hi," replied Ari.

"Mind if I ask what the hell that was about?"

"Yeah, my life story. Care for me to blab on about it?"

"Well, I get an answer," Inuyasha half-smiled at him.

"My dad's a friggin' drunk, my mom doesn't care about him and is a freakin' prostitute. She doesn't even live with us. She gave birth to me then left, dad was so drunk at the time he just dumped me off at my grandma's. When I was about six or seven, she went up and died on me. I was so pissed I didn't trust any from then on, but I had to live with that booze wreck called a father of mine. If he's not working he's wasted on some alcohol. He tries to send me to school, but I just skip out anyway. He makes enough money to buy booze, keep the house, and send me to school. At about the 3rd or 4th grade I met Andi," when he said that he paused, thinking about that day.

Hey, Sesshomaru! Cool, uh, more of the jewel of the lost, and then Ari's past, next..........who knows! Read and review, please?
