CatHanyouNelia: :Giggles: Yes I remember that! I downloaded part of the third movie and I loved it! Is the third one out yet? I thought only the first (Which I have) and second where out. I'm going to get the second one cause I love it! Inu and Kagome kiss! I also did see the last episode!

Inuyasha: I'm sorry Kagome, for letting you get hurt.

Kagome: Its okay. If you hadn't been there Inuyasha, we wouldn't have survived. And…at that time I was actually kind of happy. I was glad that I was able to be by your side.

Inuyasha: Kagome…

Kagome lays her head on Inuyasha's shoulder and he rests his on her head.

Inuyasha thinking: Me too…I was happy, to have you by my side.

CUTENESS! Anyway thanks for the review!

Blu-babe: Thanks!

Sorry for the late update, but like I said before, school gives me so much homework that I never have time to write! Its crazy! I'm just glad that the exams are over. Just have to wait till June…

I'm introducing a new character, which I made up myself. His name is Mitsubishi and he's a cross from Totosi and Rafiki. Though his name is from a car brand I think it suits him pretty well! Please give your opinions about him!


It had been three days since Inuyasha met Miroku and now he regretted taking him along. The monk never stopped asking questions about how he copes being a half-demon or why he wanted to go to the demon slayers village.

He had answered his questions the first time but eventually it got annoying and he ignored him. He counted the minutes when Miroku stopped talking. So far it was three minutes and he hoped that it would rise.

The where walking on an open plain, with a few trees scattered here and there. Inuyasha was getting sceptical about this and wondered if Miroku was taking him the right way. "Hey Miroku, you sure this is the right way?" he asked over his shoulder.

Miroku nodded, "Absolutely. If we keep going straight well be at the village in no time"

He snorted and looked forward. He didn't know why he trusted the monk whom he only met a few days ago, but for some reason he felt like he wanted to trust him. The thought made him shiver and he continued to walk forward.

Not far ahead, an old man wearing a ragged cloth for clothing sat on a branch enjoying a fruit that he was eating. He had a hump on his back, yellow teeth and big eyes the size of dinner plates. His long beard showed his age yet he thought it made him look handsome. A staff lay beside him and it acted as a walking stick for he could not walk well.

The hump on his back caused him to be bent while walking and with out his staff he would have a hard time getting from one place to another. Unfortunately though as his youth left him, so did some of his intelligence.

As he took the first bite of the fruit he looked at his surroundings. He jumped when he saw a human and demon walking beside one another. That's strange site to see but as he narrowed his eyes to get a better view of this strange demon he recognized similar features to those of his deceased friend. Silver hair, golden eyes, dog-ears!

'Could it be?' He thought, 'yes it is! Inutashio's son!'

He jumped happily on his branch while clapping his hands with joy. His searching was finally over! Noticing the two had passed him he clapped his hands one more time and disappeared only to land in front of Inuyasha and Miroku.

This startled them and they went into their attack positions. Seeing the old man eased them and they calmed down. Inuyasha's nose flared when the smell of the man went into his sensitive nose. He reeked of raw fish and rotten fruit. The old man chuckled, "Do not be alarmed silly rabbits. I mean you no harm"

'Silly rabbits?' Inuyasha thought, 'Does this guy have eye problems?'

Something hard hit Inuyasha's head causing a bump to grow. When some of the pain was gone he opened his eyes and saw that the old man had a staff. He growled, "What was that for?"

"For saying I had eye problems rabbit!" he snapped not noticing the angry half-demon in front of him. "I'm not a…" Inuyasha was cut off by Miroku's hand. "I don't think you want anymore bumps on your head Inuyasha" he whispered before smiling at the old man. "Hello my name is Miroku and this is…"

"Inuyasha, I know" he interrupted. Inuyasha looked at him like a deer in headlights. How could this man, who he didn't even know, know his name? The man bowed, "I am Mitsubishi, the sorcerer." Both men blinked.

"So that explains the mind powers," said Miroku. Mitsubishi chuckled, "Come you two. I will take you to my home"

'Probably old and smelly like he is' the half-demon thought glumly.

Boom!

Another bump grew on his head and he grumbled all the colourful curses that are inappropriate for this story, and they continued walking. "So Mitsubishi," began Miroku, "You can read people's thoughts?"

He nodded, "Yes. Sometimes when I have to and sometimes when I want to, like Inuyasha for example. I have to read his mind constantly in case he makes any wise cracks" he shook his head in disappointment. "He has the same attitude as his father did"

Wait. You knew my father?" asked Inuyasha.

"Yep, Lord Inutashio was a good man and was one of my good friends." Mitsubishi's face darkened, "Sad though, how he died protecting you pup"

A small gasp came from Inuyasha that nether Miroku or Mitsubishi could hear. He never knew his father died protecting him. Guilt came over him as the thought that he was the one who responsible for his father's death. Mitsubishi snorted. Obviously he had red Inuyasha's mind again, "It wasn't your fault pup! Lord Inutashio chose to protect you and your mother" This relived the hanyou.

"Ah!" Mitsubishi yelled suddenly, "Where here! Now wait here and I'll throw the ladder down too you"

Miroku asked, "How are you going to get up there?"

The old man grinned mischievously before slapping his hands together and disappeared in cloud of smoke. "….?" Both Inuyasha and Miroku were speechless. What kind of person was Mitsubishi?

Just as Mitsubishi had said, a ladder fell from the tree house. They both climbed up waiting to see what was above them. When each was on the porch Mitsubishi was waiting for them at the door. The house was big, too big for just one man to be living in it. Like any other tree house it had a tree going through the middle. Some of the shudders were off its hinges and the roof had birds nesting on it.

"Welcome to my home" He introduced.

"It's…nice" said Miroku looking at the birds that were staring at him. Inuyasha knew he was being sarcastic. He snorted but kept his mouth shut. Two bumps on the head were enough.

Mitsubishi guided them into his home, which looked even more ridiculous then the outside. Bottles were sprawled everywhere, same with books. A fire was going accompanied by some cushions.

He sat down on one of the cushions and warmed himself up by the fire. He gestured them to sit beside him. They sat on the cushions in front of Mitsubishi.

"If you knew about my father, why haven't you come to see my mother or me?" asked Inuyasha. The old sorcerer poured himself a cup of tea, "Because after your father had died you and your mother went into hiding," he paused to offer the boy tea. Inuyasha shook his head but Miroku took it gratefully, "I would have come sooner if I knew were you where"

He gave Inuyasha a stern look, "Why did you come out of hiding rabbit? Where's your mother?"

His question hurt Inuyasha's heart and it felt like it was being stab fifty times. "She's dead" he replied almost in a whisper. Mitsubishi was shocked at his answer. "When did this happen?"

"Two years ago" he said through clenched teeth, obviously he wanted the conversation to end. Luckily Mitsubishi noticed that, "So how come you're out here?"

"I can answer that," said Miroku taking the last sip of his tea, "He told me his grandmother was sick and he needed to see her"

Mitsubishi glared at Inuyasha like he was in some sort of trance. "That's a lie" he said, "Its something else" The hanyou became tense. He really hated Mitsubishi's mind powers right now. Miroku was also looking at him, "Really?"

Inuyasha said nothing. A smile appeared on Mitsubishi's wrinkled face for he had red Inuyasha's mind, again. "It's a girl isn't it, pup?"

Blood rushed up to his face and he quickly looked at the floor, hoping no one would notice he was blushing. "Who?" asked Miroku. Inuyasha opened his mouth to answer but stopped when the question wasn't directed to him but to Mitsubishi. He clenched his hands into fits and closed his eyes, trying to suppress his anger. Only one eye twitched in annoyance.

The sorcerer gave the hanyou another hard stare. "He won't tell me. The barrier around that part of his mind is too strong." Miroku hit the ground with disappointment.

"But there is one way," Mitsubishi began. He looked behind him and grabbed an enormous glass ball, bigger then both his palms and showed it to Inuyasha and Miroku. The sunlight from the windows caused it to glitter and both men could see their reflection. When the two looked closer, clouds were swirling around inside.

"What does this thing do?" Inuyasha asked still staring at the ball, as if hoping to see past the swirling clouds. "It shows peoples deepest desires" Mitsubishi held it up to his eye level also taking a look into the clouded glass ball.

Miroku blinked, "So if I look into that ball it will show me what I really want?"

Mitsubishi frowned and hit Miroku over the head with his staff. "Ouch!" Miroku yelled rubbing his newly added bump on his head. "Now you know how I feel" snorted Inuyasha, a playful smirk on his features.

"Don't repeat your elders. It confuses them" said Mitsubishi. He held up the glass ball to Inuyasha's eye level, "Why don't you take a look pup?"

The hanyou shrugged and gazed into the ball. The clouds started to spin and eventually a black screen of nothing showed up. Miroku also looked into that ball curious of what would show up for Inuyasha.

Inuyasha snorted, "Nothings happening"

"Give it time," Mitsubishi said. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and looked at the ball waiting to see what the crackpot thought would happen. After a few minutes of staring Inuyasha's eyes were getting tired and they almost shut but stayed open when a picture started to form inside the ball.

The clouds formed into a beautiful woman who had black hair going down her back. She had chocolate brown eyes and she was looking at them.

Inuyasha grinned when he recognized the woman. It had been so long since he had seen that beautiful face. He clenched the butterfly clip that was in his haroi. His ear moved back when he heard a whistle from behind him, obviously from Miroku.

"Who's that lovely looking lady?" he asked, eyes twinkling in her beauty.

Inuyasha growled, "Her names Kagome"

"You know her?"

Mitsubishi answered, "Yes. She is a friend of his"

"Stop reading my mind, old man or I'll stuff that ball thing down your throat" Inuyasha warned.

Mitsubishi was oblivious to the hanyou's warning. Now that Inuyasha's barriers were weak it took him no effort to look into his thoughts and memories. It did help him understand the boy and it didn't hurt to also toy with the hanyou…

"You're bluffing" he smirked.

Inuyasha snarled in furry, "I'll show you bluffing"

He was about to hack Mitsubishi to bits when Miroku held him back with his staff. "Inuyasha quit acting like an animal"

He winced at his statement but said nothing. It hurt him when people called him an animal even more so a mutt. It reminded him of how he was a hanyou.

Miroku released Inuyasha seeing that he had calmed down. Miroku sat in front of Mitsubishi, Inuyasha sitting by the wall. "So Mitsubishi, where is the demon slayers village?"
