Last Time:

"Uh-huh. You keep saying that Sango," Inuyasha said with a sneer. "Well, let's get started then. Phoenix...Phoenix" Inuyasha muttered over and over. "Guys, I think I found it!" Inuyasha said sounding excited. Miroku and Sango looked up a the sign and read 'Phoenix Down'.

"Good job Inuyasha!" Sango said happily.

Chapter 8: Feather of Phoenix

"Hey, Inuyasha. Doesn't Kagome have to be here?" Miroku asked a little confused.

"Damn!" Inuyasha said smacking himself on the head. "Sango, do you have her cell?"

"Yea, I'll call her, you guys go find this feather," Sango said as she pulled out her cell.

The guys walked into Phoenix Down and went up to the register. They asked the girl there if the store carried anything relating to feathers. She told them that all they had was on the shelves and encouraged them to look around. Inuyasha and Miroku looked around themselves for the first time since entering the store.

The interior of the store was dark and a little smoky from the candles on display. They were looking around when Sango walked into the store. She told them that Kagome was on her way and that she wanted to meet Inuyasha outside to make sure she wasn't going to get lost.

Inuyasha stepped outside and waited for a few minutes before he saw Kagome walking towards him. He leaned against the wall and waited for her to get closer. He noticed she was looking around like she had never been here before. Knowing that she had been here thousands of times, it finally hit home.

"Damn that Naraku," Inuyasha muttered. He waved Kagome over and grabbed her wrist.

"Is this the place Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Come on, in here Kagome," he said.

"The Phoenix Down?" she asked. "Why are we coming here?"

"Uh, Sango, Miroku, and I want to get you something."

"Why?"

"Uh...for...for a celebration of our friendship."

"Really?" she said her eyes tearing up. "No one's ever done something like that for me."

"Kagome, don't cry," Inuyasha said pulling her into a hug. "I hate it when you cry," he whispered. Just then Miroku and Sango walked out of the store. Sango tapped Inuyasha on the shoulder.

"I think we found it," she said quietly.

"Ok," he answered his voice full of emotion. "We're coming." Miroku and Sango walked back into the shop. After a few minutes Inuyasha and Kagome entered the shop. They went towards Sango and Miroku and Inuyasha had high hopes of their find.

When they got there Miroku was holding a gold plated feather. He turned around and showed it to Kagome. She gasped and held out her hands for it. Miroku gently handed it to Kagome and stepped back, afraid of what might happen.

Kagome giggled and then started to laugh. She held the feather in her hands and twirled around.

"Uh, miss are you ok?" the lady at the register asked sounding worried.

"She's fine, but we would like to buy that feather she is holding," Miroku said sidling up to the lady. "You know, I have a question for you," he said grabbing her hand and kneeling."

"What is it?" the lady asked blushing.

"Will you bear...OUCH!" Miroku yelled as Sango's fist came in contact with his face.

"Don't mind him," Sango said smiling sweetly. "How much?" she asked pulling out Miroku's wallet.

"Uh, the gold plated feather right? That would be...uh...let me check the register sheet...5,000."

"FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so miss."

"Hm...let me go talk to my friends. I'll be right back," Sango said walking back towards Inuyasha and the now calm Kagome while dragging an unconscious Miroku. She woke up Miroku and told them how much the feather was. Inuyasha shook his head and sighed.

"We'll have to come back, but I have an idea," Inuyasha said. They put down the feather and told the girl it was too expensive and left.

"Ok Inuyasha, what's your brilliant idea," Sango asked. Knowing him it'll be something like stealing it Sango thought.

"Well we steal it of course," Inuyasha said making it sound like the most obvious thing in the world.

"Thought so," Sango said sighing. "Well how do you propose on getting in there after hours?"

"You obviously weren't paying much attention Sango," Inuyasha said winking. "This is what we are going to do..."

Later that night:

Three people crept into the mall at around 11:00 p.m. they were wearing black ski masks and black sweatshirts and sweats. One of them was obviously a girl, and the other two were guys. They all had black duffle bags and their hair was under the black hoods on their sweatshirts and they wore black gloves.

"Hey, how do we get in?" the girl asked.

"Let me handle that," one guy said. He sniffed and listened hard for any sounds. "Well, they don't have any alarms. No sounds what-so-ever."

"Hm, well we can't let them know there is a break in...so...the air vents?" the other guy said.

"Good id—Miroku you hentai (a/n: thanks to Angel-of-dark-spirits )!" the girl hissed, glaring at him. "Don't touch me you stupid—"

"Sango, calm down, you're making too much noise," the first guy said quietly.

"Sorry Inuyasha. Have you found any air vents?"

"Yea, this one goes underground," Inuyasha said. He grunted as he pulled the vent off the floor. He slipped inside and noticed it was not a far drop. He called to Sango and Miroku and told them to hurry up. Sango jumped in first and Inuyasha caught her. Then Miroku jumped in and Inuyasha just let him fall. He pointed at Miroku and snickered.

"That hurt Inuyasha," Miroku said rubbing his rear.

"Well, you had it coming. Now lets go, and keep your hands to yourself," Inuyasha whispered.

They climbed into the store and found the vent they wanted. It let them out close to their destination. He grabbed Sango's duffel off her shoulder and opened it. He searched through her bag and muttered something about the duffle being like a girl's purse as he searched. He found what he was looking for and pulled out a contraption and scanned the room for any kind of alarm. He found none so he jumped out first and then helped his friends up.

He looked around and found the thing they had come to get. He then took Miroku's duffle bag and grabbed a box out of it. He put the feather in the box and sealed it. He then placed the box back in the bag and gave it to Miroku. The three were just climbing back into the vent when a flashlight snapped on.

"Who's there?" a stern voice asked. Sango gasped and the light turned in their direction. Footsteps headed in their direction when Inuyasha finally got the vent grille back in place.

"Oh well, the security cameras will have whoever it was on tape," the person sighed.

"Tape?" Miroku hissed at Inuyasha.

"Don't worry about it. I already looped the feed."

"Jeeze Inuyasha, how do you know so much?" Sango asked.

"Uh...movies?"

"Sure Inuyasha" they both said doubtfully.

"Sh, I think he's coming back. Let's go." The group quietly snuck out of the building and put the vent grille in its place. They left the mall and walked towards the car.

"Inuyasha, how do we get rid of these masks?" Sango asked after they got in the car.

"Give them to me, I'll burn them," Inuyasha said.

"Uh...ok," Miroku and Sango said taking off their masks.

Inuyasha had just dropped off Sango and Miroku at their houses and he was driving home. He grabbed the three duffle bags and stuffed he masks into one of the bags before walking into his mansion.

I gotta burn these masks without anyone finding out Inuyasha thought. He decided to burn them in the fireplace in his room. He climbed up the stairs and went into his room. Once inside he started a fire in the fireplace and threw the masks into the flames. He watched them burn for a while before getting ready for bed.

Inuyasha was walking in a field of flowers when he saw someone in front of him. He walked towards them, wondering who it was. When he got there he saw it was Kagome.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. The girl turned around and came towards him. He realized that it wasn't Kagome, but in fact it was Kikyo.

"Kikyo? Why are you here?" he asked confused.

"Inu-boy!" Kikyo said happy to see him. She threw herself on him and Inuyasha pushed her violently off of him.

"What are you doing?" he asked angrily.

"Don't you like me anymore?" Kikyo asked.

"It's in the past Kikyo, leave me alone." Kikyo became angry and started to glow a blue color. A blue ball of fire started to form in her hand and just as she was about to throw it at Inuyasha when a pink form materialized between them.

"Leave him Kikyo. You no longer are a part of his life." Kikyo took one look at the glowing figure and ran off. The figure turned towards Inuyasha and he realized it was Kagome. She collapsed in his arms and Inuyasha realized she had blacked out.

"Kagome, I wish you were awake for this, but I think I lo—"

Inuyasha was jerked awake when his alarm went off. He looked at it and saw that it was 6:30 a.m.

"Stupid alarm," he said throwing it at the wall. "We need to get this feather to Kagome today," he said picking up his cell. "Miroku?...Yea...you watched her house last night right?...good...ok call her and tell her we will meet her today at her house...thanks...yea...a half hour is good...k bye."

Inuyasha stood up and got ready to leave. He went to his kitchen and opened the cupboard. What do I want today? Chicken, beef, shrimp? Beef sounds good...beef it is Inuyasha thought as he looked through his food. He set the beef ramen on his counter and made hot water. He saw a manga on the countertop and realized it was one of Kagome's. He had borrowed it and forgot to return it. He flipped through it and saw a quote he loved.

"His favorite thing: ramen. His least favorite thing: the three minutes it takes to cook ramen."

"Hehe, that is so true Naruto. I hate those three stupid minutes...and it says instant on the package," Inuyasha sighed. He noticed his three minutes were up and slurped down his ramen as he ran towards the door. He grabbed his keys and drove towards Kagome's house. When he got there he saw everyone else there as well. He got out of the car, and grabbed the box with the feather in it.

"Here Kagome, we got this for you after we dropped you off," Inuyasha said handing the box to her. She opened it and a large smile spread across her face.

"THANK YOU!" Kagome said excited. She glomped (a/n: I love that word...darn sister) Inuyasha and kept saying thank you.

"Calm down Kagome, why don't you look at it?" Sango said.

"Good idea!" Kagome said. She took the feather out of the box and suddenly it started to glow pink. It rose into the air and started to dissolve into a pink ball of energy. Suddenly it merged into Kagome and her eyes opened wide. Her head jerked back and she fell to the ground.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha ran to her side and lifted her head. "Answer me Kagome."

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said weakly. "What happened?"

"Kagome, what's the last thing you remember?" Miroku asked kneeling down next to her.

"Uh, a golden feather and pink."

"Well, I guess we need the other two for it to work," Sango said also kneeling down.

"For what to work?" Kagome asked sounding worried.

"Nothing, don't worry about it Kagome, we were just talking about two more presents for you," Sango said happily.

"Oh, ok..." Kagome said a little confused. "What are we going to do today?" she asked in anticipation.

"Uh, well, we're not sure yet," Inuyasha said.

"Let's go find a fire fox," Kagome said.

"Sure, why not. A fire fox it is," Sango said happily.
