Leiko: This is getting freaky...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome woke up the next morning with only a slight fever. When Kaede had finished redressing her wound, she walked outside. She blushed crimson when all of her friends looked up at her. "Look, I'm REALLY sorry about that you guys... I'll make it up to you-"
Here she was cut off by a little fluff ball flinging itself at her. "KAGOME THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE ALRIGHT!!!" He then perched himself on her shoulder and looked out at the others through her curtain of raven locks.
"Shippo? What's wrong? Did something happen?" She asked the little Kitsune who had currently taken up residence in her hair.
"INUYASHA'S A MEANIE HEAD!!!" He said, sticking his head out just long enough to stick his tongue out at the irritable Hanyou.
"WHY YOU LITTLE-" Inuyasha shouted, balling his hand into a fist and taking a step foreword.
*SLAM* Inuyasha now lay twitching on the ground. Mizuna, frying pan still poised in her hand, didn't even look up from her reading. "Shut up Inuyasha. And Shippo, don't provoke him again or next time I'm not going to stop him."
"K-Kagome... You'll protect me won't you?" Shippo asked, his bottom lip quivering, as he began to cry.
Kagome sighed and tried not to give in to his adorable pouting face. "I'm sorry Shippo, but if you hadn't been bothering Inuyasha than he wouldn't have gotten mad at you."
Shippo pouted but nodded his head sullenly. Kagome gave him a bright smile before turning back to face the rest of the group.
Inuyasha got up and tucked his hands into his sleeves and walked over to her, eyes cast to the side. He stopped when he was in front of the blue- eyed Miko and without looking up said, "So... How are you wounds doing?"
Inuyasha glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and quickly lost his nerve to say anything nice. Wrenching his gaze of Kagome, he continued. "Feh... It's not like I care or anything... I just want to go shard hu-"
Being knocked over the head with a frying pan once again cut him off. Mizuna towered over Inuyasha, frying pan in one hand, her book being held up to her face by the other. Looking over the top of her book, she glared at him. "Inuyasha. Try not to talk, it makes you look stupid."
Inuyasha growled from his spot on the ground, and launched himself at the water demon. Mizuna frowned and rolled her eyes, appearing on the other side of the angry teen and hit him once again with the pan, coincidentally, Kagome happened to yell sit at the same time.
So that's how Inuyasha ended up 6 feet under twitching with swirly eyes. Mizuna dropped the frying pan into Inuyasha's indention in a way that it landed on his head for the forth time that day. She then pocketed her book into the deep pockets of her black cargo pants. They had arrived at the village yesterday, and since then she and Kashaku had changed their clothes and Kagome would the second she was up to taking a bath. And judging by the way Kagome didn't seem to have a problem with walking that would be soon.
Mizuna walked over to Kagome and examined the wound through the bandages. "I can heal that for you."
Kagome pulled her arm back and shook her head. "No, it's ok, really! I can manage!"
Mizuna glared at her friend, her keen gaze taking in the way Kagome winced when she jerked the arm away. "Kagome, don't be difficult." She took the arm back and undid the bandage. Holding her hand a few inches above the wound, she concentrated hard on the gash. Her hand glowed a deep blue as did the wound before it healed up, leaving her skin as flawless as before, not even so much as a wound.
Inuyasha, who by this time was out of the hole and walking, strolled up to her and made it his job to poke the spot where the wound once was to see if it was really gone. And Shippo and Kashaku, being a small young child, for a demon, and Kashaku being... Well, Kashaku, of course had to assist him.
Mizuna however was thankful for this, that way no one was paying close enough attention to her to see that she was a little paler than usual. Looking at her friends, she knew that wasting her powers like that was worth it.
At the moment, Kagome was laughing and running away from Inuyasha, Kashaku and Shippo. They were all laughing and all in all having a great time, even Inuyasha, who usually only watched from a tree.
She smiled softly at them before removing a golden locket from her dark blue, "Criticism. Just one more of the services that I offer" shirt. The locket itself wasn't really anything special, but the canary diamond located in the center of the locket.
Gripping the locket tightly in her hand, Mizuna thought back to when her 'sister' had given it to her.
*Flashback*
A hand on her arm right held Mizuna back before she jumped into the well. Turning, she saw Kin looking directly into her eyes before looking down.
"I... I don't have a good feeling about this Mizuna... I want you to promise me something."
Mizuna looked at her friend's bowed head. And nodded silently. "I agree Kin. Why are you so worried?"
Kin shrugged, and laughed a bit to try and lift the serious mood. "Oh, it's nothing... But just promise me... Promise me that you will ignore what happens to me... Protect Kagome; protect her until she can protect herself... And Kashaku as well..." She gave an actually laugh here, "You know she doesn't worry about the consequences of her actions..."
Mizuna saw that Kin was getting rather depressed. "I could say the same of you."
Kin grinned up at her, the unshed tears in her eyes diminishing until there were none. "Thanks Mizuna. Here, take this, to remember your promise..." Kin then unfastened her locket, the only memory of her father that she had left. Putting it into Mizuna's hand, she continued. "Keep it safe. Or I'll get mad!"
*End flashback*
Mizuna turned away from her friends, wiping away a stray tear. Her friends... They were the only weakness in her icy heart. Shaking her head, she cleared her mind of such thoughts. "Kagome, if you're ready, you can go take a bath and change out of those clothes." She then sat back down with her back to a random tree. Pulling her book out, she continued reading.
Kashaku and Shippo decided to go bathe with their friend, leaving Mizuna and Inuyasha alone. Mizuna kept on reading, seemingly ignoring the Hanyou who was staring fixedly at her.
After awhile Inuyasha broke the silence. "Why?"
She viewed him out of the corner of her eye. Pulling the locket out from her shirt, she held it up so that it glittered in the light. "A promise..."
They sat there for a while, each lost in their memories. Mizuna had replaced the locket, and had focused her attention back onto her book. She continued reading, and memorizing, but her mind was elsewhere. Inuyasha on the other hand was more obvious about his thoughts. He sat in the tree above Mizuna, staring off into space with a faraway look on his face.
Kagome, Kashaku and Shippo's terrified screams interrupted their 'down time'. Inuyasha leapt out of the tree and ran all out towards the screams, with a valiant shout of, "KAGOME!!!!!!!"
Mizuna narrowed her eyes. "This had better not be a joke." She seemingly disappeared and reappeared at the water's edge.
Towering over them all was a 16-foot tall dragon. He, yes, it was a guy, was a huge ugly traditionally English dragon (As opposed to the long sinewy ones of China and Japan) and was on the fat side of medium. "GIVE ME YOUR SHARDSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!" He hissed, lunging at the bathers.
They had apparently just been getting out of the water because all they had to cover themselves with were towels. Kagome grabbed Shippo and hurled herself to the side just in time to miss being eaten while Kashaku threw herself to the other side.
Kashaku's eyes widened in horror when she saw the damage he had done. The dragon had... he had... HE GOT MY BAG WET!!!!!!!!! And by bag, I mean her backpack, and by backpack I mean what was in her backpack, and by what was in her backpack I meant her Cheeto collection.
Kashaku's mouth opened in a silent scream, which as soon as she re-found her voice became a real scream. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!"
When she finally stopped screaming, which was only when the mud under her feet gave way and she fell onto her butt, the people around her were basically on their knees from the force of the scream. The two who had suffered the second worst were Inuyasha who had rammed his head through a tree to try and get the sound out of his head and Shippo who had buried his head into the soft earth like an ostrich. Kagome was probably the one least affected by the sound, but she was still holding her head in pain, you know, other than the dragon who couldn't actually hear, but even he was sent flying back by the sheer force of the sound vibrations.
Mizuna was the only one who didn't move, and that was just because she NEVER let anyone see her in ANY moment of weakness. However on the inside a little chibi Mizuna was running around in circles hitting herself on the head with a one of her many thick books trying to make the sound stop. 'At least Kin's not here...'
Everyone pretty much just sat there for a few minutes, most trying to get the ringing out of their ears; one trying to sit up from his little "flight" and lastly, the one who caused all the pain was currently mourning the loss of her Cheetos by staring fixedly at her wet backpack.
When their group... and the dragon... had regained their bearings, the battle commenced.
Inuyasha drew Tetsaiga and was about to launch at the pathetic demon, when a porcelain hand stopped him. Mizuna turned her head slightly and viewed him out of the corner of her eye; she then shook her head signaling him not to attack. Pointing her clawed hand towards Kashaku, she directed his attention to the fire demoness, who was herself, preparing to kill the dragon.
"Let Kashaku have her revenge." Mizuna stated coolly, turning her back on the soon to be battle. The water demoness left her friends in favor of making a late breakfast. Before she left the clearing, she turned her head towards Kashaku. "Kashaku, fried or scrambled?"
Her red-haired friend looked up from glaring at the soon-to-be-dead dragon. "Fried please Mi-chan, oh! And can we have bacon too?"
Mizuna nodded and turned towards the others. "Kagome, what about you? Inuyasha, Shippo?"
"Scrambled please." Mizuna nodded affirmation; she then turned her attention to the males of their group. "Inuyasha, Shippo, fried or scrambled?"
Shippo stared at her blankly while Inuyasha turned away with an angry expression rather than showing that he had no idea what she was talking about. Kagome and Mizuna sweatdropped.
Shaking her head, Mizuna continued along the path. 'Both it is...'
Kashaku grinned evilly at the demon and cracked her knuckles. It was time to get down to business. This stupid dragon had ruined her Cheetos, and now it was going to pay!!!
The dragon started out the battle with a blast of fire. Kashaku put one hand out in front of her, it glowed red and the fire split a foot in front of her. She smirked; this was going to be easy. It was her turn now; she launched herself at the dragon and pulling her scythe out of nowhere, split the monster in half.
"Kashaku! There's a jewel shard at the tip of its tail!!!" Kashaku turned her head to face Kagome. She shrugged and walking over to the tail, pulled out the shard and tossed it to her friend.
"There ya go Kag-chan!!!" She said smiling. Kashaku then skipped over to her bag, scooped it up and continued skipping towards the well. "Kagome, tell Mi-chan that I'll be back in a few minutes, I have to go restock on chips!!!"
"Kashaku! Get me some pocky while you're there, and some chocolate for Shippo, and Inuyasha will want some Ramen!!!" She yelled, waving at her friend.
"K! Be back soon!!!" The hyper red head waved at them before disappearing into the woods.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*Everyone is happily eating chocolate ice cream on the floor in celebration of Leiko's updating*
Kin: Leiko... As much as I'm enjoying this... LET ME OUT OF THIS GODDAMN CLOSET!!!!!!! AND SAVE ME SOME OF THAT ICE CREAM YOU ASSHOLES!!!!
Kashaku: Wow... Kin gets cranky when she's been locked in a closet for 2 days without food, or more importantly sugar... Who knew...

Her red-haired friend looked up from glaring at the soon-to-be-dead dragon. "Fried please Mi-chan, oh! And can we have bacon too?"
Mizuna nodded and turned towards the others. "Kagome, what about you? Inuyasha, Shippo?"
"Scrambled please." Mizuna nodded affirmation; she then turned her attention to the males of their group. "Inuyasha, Shippo, fried or scrambled?"
Shippo stared at her blankly while Inuyasha turned away with an angry expression rather than showing that he had no idea what she was talking about. Kagome and Mizuna sweatdropped.
Shaking her head, Mizuna continued along the path. 'Both it is...'
Kashaku grinned evilly at the demon and cracked her knuckles. It was time to get down to business. This stupid dragon had ruined her Cheetos, and now it was going to pay!!!

"Kashaku! Get me some pocky while you're there, and some chocolate for Shippo, and Inuyasha will want some Ramen!!!" She yelled, waving at her friend.
"K! Be back soon!!!" The hyper red head waved at them before disappearing into the woods.
