Ok, next Inuyasha and Ari story up. Well last time, if you don't remember, Inuyasha and Ari learned about the jewel of the lost, met Sesshomaru, and learned a little about Ari's past. Well here is more of his past and some of Andi's too.

Again, I don't own Inuyasha and his story line, BUT I do own Ari, Andi, and the Jewel of the Lost. Enjoy!

It was a spring day he was on the playground sitting on the swing. No one got next to the little boy who sat alone at the swings, except for one little girl with brownish black hair. She sat about two swings from him, and then moved about one swing every once in a while. The boy looked up at her and she blushed with nervousness. He smiled and asked her if she wanted to swing next to him. She tried not to smile back, but failed. She sat right next to him silently.

"My name is Ari, what's yours?" the boy asked.

"Andi," the girl shyly replied. The boy knew she was nervous and smiled evilly to joke around with her. She looked worried, like he was going to do something. She pouted slightly and said, "What's that for?"

"I was trying to scare you, hee hee." She didn't care for that too much, the day continued with Ari talking kindly about any and everything. He enjoyed making Andi laugh. He smiled in a creepy way and scared her. He enjoyed picking on her in a boyish way. For weeks on end they were on the playground and played together. They started to go to school at the same time and one day Ari fell into the river just next to the sidewalk and got a cold. Andi found it funny that he was a goof and fell into the river. Ari wasn't happy about it but still went to school. One day Andi looked sad when she went to school one day

"What's wrong?" Ari asked.

"My parents are moving, and we may not be back at all. My daddy was offered a job in another country. We're moving in two weeks." Ari was shocked, he didn't want to admit it but he loved her, and from the way she sounded she loved him too. "Just incase I don't get back, and daddy wants to stay, I wanna do something," she said as she leaned next to him. She kissed him on the lips. Shocked, he blinked and stared at Andi, who smiled and went back to the work they was suppose to do. The two weeks went by in a flash and as she was in the car waving back at him. He started to cry and she did too. Her mom told her to turn around and stop waving. When she did, Ari walked off home crying.

Later in life, Ari got in a band called "Dead Air." He was the lead guitarist and lead vocals. He and his band played anything from "I miss you" type songs to the very angry songs. His dad hated the noise, so he went over to his friend's house and they practiced there. There was always an empty apartment next door to his friend's apartment, and one next to that one; so they could crank it up as high as they wanted. Then one day the apartment was taken. Ari and his friends didn't like it, but was still better than nothing. They were practicing an "I miss you" style song one day, and a girl with beautiful brownish black hair down to her shoulders stood at the door that stood ajar. She stole a peek of who was singing. Her eyes paused on a young man with short, spiked, dark brown hair. His glasses where dirty and crooked, and appeared to be falling off his face. She noticed his left ear held a small ring, big enough to dangle, but small enough not to be grabbed as easy as others. He had a three other people in the room, one holding a bass, one sitting at a drum set, and the last one playing guitar softly. The singer sounded to be singing straight from his soul with his tears flowing down from his eyes. When he held the last note of the last word, he picked up the guitar that hung around his neck and strummed a power chord until his fellow guitarist started the chord. When he finished the words he was singing and his guitarist was on the chord. He stopped singing and started to play one of the most complex and high pitched solo's the band had ever done. When he started, the girl couldn't stand outside any longer and carefully walked into the room. She stared upon the face of the solo-playing guitarist in awe. The beauty of the notes that shot straight for her heart shocking her in a way that was never done before, it was so beautiful that her eyes swelled with tears. When he was done he dropped the guitar and it swung around his neck behind him and continued to sing the chorus of the song. He held the last note until the guitar dropped out, followed by the bass, then the drums. Still holding the note he opened his eyes to gaze upon the crying girl. He finished the note and she started clapping. The band was confused at who it was. Ari stood there with a "what the hell" look on his face. Then finally someone spoke.

"Uh, who are you? Why are you here?" asked the drummer.

"I'm next door, I just moved in and I heard a familiar voice, and when I heard that song I was surprised because of the beauty," the girl replied.

"Well, this ain't a concert," Ari shot a bad look.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come in and bothered you, I'm so sorry," she said as she started to head out the door. A hand grasped her arm and jerked slightly.

"What do you mean you heard a familiar voice?" Ari then asked with some hope of a lost girl in mind.

"I lived here before, and I met this boy at the swings," she began. "He was very kind to me and I had to move away. You'll think I'm crazy when I say this, but I felt sadness in his soul that touched me deeply. When you sang that song, it reminded me of the sadness of that day he held in his soul." Ari dropped the hand he was holding in paralysis. He was stunned, was this girl the one he loved as a child? Is she back? He fell on his knees.

"There...There was a girl I felt comfortable with. I would tell her anything," he said as he laid his head in his hands. "I thought I loved her, but then she moved. I vowed never to be attached to anything again. This band was my escape from my drunk of a dad, and my prostitute mother," he continued. "I...I never thought that I would see her again. So I wrote that song from my soul about how that...affected me," he said as he looked up at her with teary eyes. "Please...Please tell me you're the little girl I talked to."

"Who started talking first? Just to be sure you're not playing me."

"I asked you to sit next to me, then when you did I introduced myself and asked you your name, that day never left my mind. I would go to school just to see you. But when you left I just quit doing anything," he looked down as he finished. The girl knelt down and lifted his chin with her right hand.

"Cheer up. I'm here now Ari. Am I right with your name?" Ari cried as he nodded his head. She held him gently in her arms. The rest of the band stood there puzzled about what was going on. Ari, remembering his band stood up and wiped his tears.

"Uh, guys... this is Andi, the girl I told you I lost when I was little. Andi this is Jake, Ty, and Xander."

"Dude, it's X.," said the teen at the drums. The guitarist snickered and looked over at the bassist

"Hey Jake, you remember when I asked why the softer songs right? And I said I didn't know, Ari had some reasons?" the guitarist said. The bassist nodded. "Well I asked Ari, and he said that he had a girl when he was little that he lost. He wanted to make some sort of tribute to her ya know? That's the reason."

"Ah, I hear," said Jake. Ari smiled at Jake's comment. He looked over at Andi and smiled creepy like always in the past.

"Agh! You still do that?" she shivered.

"Heh heh heh, uh-huh." He walked over to the cooler in the corner and pulled a soda out of it. He shook it and turned around. "Hey X, sorry about the Xander thing. Here." He tossed it at X. He tapped it out to habit and opened it. When he did the soda got all over him and left and brown streak up his shirt. Ari started to laugh hysterically and grabbed a water bottle. He calmed down enough to take a couple of sips and recap the bottle. Andi looked over at X who was madder than anything that she'd ever seen before. Ty, the guitarist walked over to the cooler and grabbed an energy drink and turned to Andi.

"So you're the girl that Ari lost, eh?" he asked. She nodded and went to the cooler to look at the choices. She saw a wide selection of the drinks. She paused and looked around at Ari and his friends starting to go at another song. "So, what kind of music you like?" asked Ty.

"Anything from classical, rock, rap, and just whatever," she replied before sitting down. Ty started to strum a chord three times then hit a high note, then back to the chord. X, after cleaning up, started a steady powerful beat. Jake added a steady beat. In a low creepy voice, Ari started to mumble something.

Later, Ari walked with Andi to her apartment. He looked in her eyes and moved down for a kiss. When their lips met her arms moved around his neck, his hands to her hips.

"So that's how it started huh?" Inuyasha asked. Ari sighed and closed his eyes. Inuyasha lied right next to him. "well, I guess I'd be smart if I tell my story huh?"

"I guess it'd be smart, eye for an eye thing you know?" Ari replied.
