A/N: I'm so sorry ya'll! Please forgive me! I've had volleyball tournaments every weekend in other states! I haven't had time to write! But I'm back to writing now and will hopefully go back to once a week. One thing I did notice though was I got more reviews when I didn't write than when I did! Please review! It only takes a second! Literally! Come on! Just good, bad, or in between! Anyways, I hope you like it, doesn't have everyone in it again but next time I'll try to do a group thing. 'Kay, hope you like it! R&R!

Disclaimer: If you've read the other chapters you already know what I'm going to say, therefore there's no need to say it.

"Give it back!" InuYasha's voice echoed through the forest.

"I found it! It's mine!" Thatz's voice was little more than a whimper, for being chased by an angry half demon with a reputation like InuYasha's was much more frightening than most the Yokai he had to fight back at home.

"You jerk! You didn't find it! You took it right out of my hands!"

Before Thatz could holler back his defense, another voice angry voice came there way, "InuYasha! Sit boy!"

InuYasha, who had just made himself a fresh new hole in the ground face first, groaned loudly, wedging himself out of the dirt as well as spiting it out of his mouth, he began to yell at Kagome, "What'd you do that for! He was the one that stole my sword!"

Thatz grinned sheepishly, still holding the Tetsusaiga closely to his body, attempting to stop the half-demon from getting to him by putting a tree in between the two of them. Luckily for Thatz, Kagome had just gotten back from her talk with Cesia, which had ended in hidden tears for the heartbroken girl as she pleaded Kagome to let her alone for a while, and now, even more than before, she wanted InuYasha to face the pain he was putting other people through for his own selfish purposes. "Do you enjoy starting fights and making people miserable! What's your problem!" Her reply was nothing more than a confused look from her accused companion. Taking a deep breath Kagome spoke to InuYasha in a calmer more rational voice, "Maybe it would help if you would go and apologize to Rath." She knew the reaction she was going to get towards this suggestion would just begin another fight, but she had to say something.

"If it wasn't for that puny demons threats and-"

"That's just it InuYasha! He wasn't threatening you, and he obviously doesn't like being called a demon, so stop doing it! Besides, he looks human enough to me."

"You do like him don't you!"

"Who said I liked him! I'm just sick of you taking a little comment and blowing it way out of proportion! Maybe if you were more excepting of people you would get into so many pointless fights."

"Maybe you need to learn not to trust everyone you see! There are demons out there that want to hurt you, Kagome!"

"InuYasha…" Kagome was always shocked when these sudden protective tones entered InuYasha's voice, it changed him, made him seem so much more human, would this side of his disappear completely if he followed his plan to become a full-fledged demon?

"Forget it okay, were better off without them anyways. We've got a job to do."

Miroku entered the conversation without invite as he often tended to do, "Actually there's a distinct possibility they have something to do with our own mission."

"Who asked you!" InuYasha snapped back.

"I'm merely suggesting the fact that they're stuck here after being, somehow teleported through a black hole created by the combination of an evil as well as good force. If the evil powers of, it was Varawoo, I believe, are as destructive as they say. As well as there being a villain here, whose name was Nadil, correct? And this villain is said to be so intently after these dragon knights, possibly with the same sort of intensity Naraku is after us."

"Get to the point." InuYasha complained, afraid Miroku was about to suggest adding four more to their already large group.

"I'm just pointing out that if Naraku and this other villain are truly watching our every move, both knows about the alliance of our two groups and has already begun to form a plan considering our separation. Not knowing your enemy as they do not know Naraku and we know nothing about Nadil, can be a dangerous situation. Considering Naraku would have no problem taking hostages, as he has before, and so has this so called Nadil, the moment we break apart I would not be surprised to see Kagura come to tell us she and Naraku have captured the new arrivals. That is if we are not already in the hands of Nadil who would be planning the same sort of scheme."

"Speak English would ya! Are you trying to say we're stuck with these freaks cause if we just leave them here Naraku will capture them! That's insane! What makes him think we would go back to help them anyways!"

"Well I for one know I could not leave the beautiful Cesia in the hands of a despicable villain such as Naraku."

"You pervert! Come back to Earth would ya! Naraku can have them for all I care!"

Kagome cut in after that, "No, Miroku has a point. The best thing to do now is keep things as they are until we find out what Naraku is really up to. We could at least get them back to the portal they arrived from before abandoning them anyways, maybe we can help them close it to."

"No way, I am not helping that demon!" Both Kagome and Miroku had taken separate paths, but both away from the ranting InuYasha, completely tuning him out as they walked. "Hey listen to me! I said no! No!" Kagome had gone to find Cesia to see if she was ready to start heading off again, Miroku to relay the information to the awaiting Sango, Thatz, and Rune. No one wanted to deal with Rath right now, but more than anything, no one wanted to get near the whining InuYasha. Why not just leave him there for a while, he'd get over it eventually, like it or not, he was stuck with the "demon-boy", and was in for plenty more fights.

A/N: So I really hope you liked it! The next one will be up within a week! Promise! So once again, please review! I guess a lot of you write your own stories so you do know how important it is to get reviews, especially constructive criticism, so please help me out here! Thanks for reading!
