Chapter 5: First Impressions Aren't Everything

Lina appeared at the camp sight were Inuyasha and his group had been. However, it was deserted when she got there. She glanced around and heard running water in the forest. Since she had not eaten breakfast she walked up to a small brook to catch some fish. Then Lina tied a string to a wooden stick that was laying on the grown and set down to wait for the fish to come.

When she had caught about twenty fish she decided that was enough and cooked them with a fireball. She set near the brook eating her fish, when Xellos decided to show up.

WOSH and Xellos was standing by Lina's pile of cooked fish.

"Morning Lina," he said quite cheerfully.

Lina did not respond due to the fact she was stuffing her face.

"Ah, stuffing your face as always."

She just glared at him and continued eating.

"Come on Lina talk to me. Are you mad at me for giving your position away when you were doing whatever it was you were doing," said a smiling Xellos.

She had finished her fish, and started packing up her equipment so; she could start her next mission.

Finally, she spoke, "No, Xellos I am not mad at you why ever would you think such a thing."

She had her back was turned from him, and suddenly she turn to face him. He was met with hostile glowing red eyes. All Xellos could do is cower in fear. After she had turned around she proceeded in strangling him.

"YOU STUPID MONSTER, FIRST YOU HELP THE LORD OF NIGHTMARES IN GETTING ME IN THIS STRANGE WORLD, AND ALMOST RUINED MY MISSION. WHY WOULD I BE MAD!"

Xellos was turning blue and the only thing he could manage to get out was "Can't breath."

Lina reluctantly released him and said, "What do you want, and how did you get here?"

Xellos smile was up again as he spoke, "Lina I just want to travel with you so, you can complete your task sooner, and come home."

"I doubt that," was her replay under her breath.

"Anyways, you better not get in my way because if you do ..."

She never got to finish that sentence because a man screaming about a demon came rushing pass them.

The man who was running was unattractive samurai, who appeared to be in his middle ages. His armor was blue, and his under armor was yellow.

"DEMON RUN FOR YOUR LIFE'S!" he screamed as he ran into the water.

"You know I for one would like to finish a conversation without hearing the words demons. It's getting pretty annoying," said Lina.

"But, Lina I am a demon," Xellos said.

"My point exactly," she replied.

"Hey, are you calling me annoying," he frowned.

"Well, if the shoe fits wear it," she replied.

"Well, Lina we all know you can't resist annoying demons," said Xellos with a smile back on his face.

Before she could reply the demon none other than Kagura, the wind sorceress emerged from the trees.

"Be a good human and give me those jewel shards," said Kagura floating in the air.

Lina immediately looked at the women who talked about jewel shards. The demon that was hovering above her had on a blue komodo, and her ebony hair was pulled back.

WOSH was the only sound that was made from where Lina was standing. Kagura had notice this sudden disappearance and scanned the area. Apparently the red head had taken the man who was carrying jewel shards. The only one left was a man in priest robs caring a staff.

"It looks like your young friend left you to die," said Kagura.

Scene change.

Lina is deep with in the forest glaring down at the groveling man.

"Give me the jewel shards," she said.

"I don't have any. Please don't hurt me," said the man.

"You know it would be much easier to search you if you were dead to see if you were lying," said Lina with a fireball in her hand.

She had already caste a shadow snap, therefore the man was unable to escape.

"So, what's it going to be the shards or your life? You know if you don't hand them over right now I'll kill you."

"Please, you wouldn't."

"My patents grows thin human. Give them to me or I shall take them by force.

The groveling man finally, gave up his jewel shards. With that complete she released the man from the shadow snap, and teleported to where Xellos was.

"Xellos we can go now," said Lina looking down as she put the jewel shards into a black portal. When it closed up she noticed Kagura was still there.

"What are you still doing here?" asked Lina.

Kagura set her feet down on the grown and smiled. "I see you were kind enough to get the shards for me."

Lina just laughed, "Lady, I suggest you leave before you get hurt."

During this time Xellos said nothing, he decided to let Lina handle this one.

Kagura's replay was a laugh, "I think you should be concerned with your own safety not mine."

"Dance of FLAMING DRAGONS," cried the sorceress.

"That was too easy," she said.

The smoke cleared and Kagura saw Lina and Xellos incased in a black protection barrier.

"Is that all you got because you're going to have to do a lot better to defeat me," said Lina.

Now it was Lina's turn to fire and attack, " FIREBALL!"

Kagura was not as lucky as Lina, and took the fireball head on. It knocked her back a couple of feet. "Damn you," said Kagura.

"You know I am hearing that a lot lately. I think you just need to cool down. DYNAST CRYSTAL!"

This time Kagura evaded the attack. She was now hovering in the air on her feather. She glanced down towards the grown and noticed about a mile was covered in ice.

She sure is a powerful adversary I am know Naraku would want to hear about this, thought Kagura.

"This isn't over yet girl, I'll be back," said Kagura as she flew away.

"Well, Xellos I think it's time to visit Inuyasha," said Lina.

"She sure was a weak opponent to run off after two spells. Even if your magic seems to be getting stronger," said Xellos as he looked at the mile of ice.

Lina laughed nervously "Yeah, well, she knew she couldn't stand up to the awesome power of LINA INVERSE so, she turned tale and ran."

The red headed girl was doing a triumphant poise when Xellos spoke, "Yes, I am sure that was it; unfortunately, you'll have to reintroduce yourself on your own."

The new knight of the Lord of Nightmares stopped gloating. "You're leaving me?"

Xellos turned towards her and said, "Is little Lina sad? Missing your beloved Xellos already?"

"No, it's just that I..."

Today for the second time Lina did not get to finish her sentence because of a demon; however, this time she did not object because he kissed her on the lips, and teleported away.

Lina's face was redder than a stop sign. (Sorry it just sounded funny.)

"Well, I guess I'll that's that."

A/N: I was deciding to end the chapter here, but since I'm nice I'll extend it a little longer.

Scene change

Inuyasha, and his group were walking down a dirt rode when Kagome said," Guys I feel jewel shards near by."

The group came to a sudden stop.

Inuyasha sniffed the air. "Yes, and I smell Kagura's scent as well."

Miroku asked "In what direction are they Kagome?"

"I am sensing them form where we just were."

"Then let's head back," said Sango.

They all agreed, and started their way back to the camp sight.

Scene change

Lina was walking away from the brook, and in her own little world dreaming about Xellos.

How could he do that? Does that mean he likes me? No, he was probably just missing with my head. Damn monsters, always playing with humans emotions. But, thanks to LON I guess I am not a human anymore. I was willing to kill that man if he didn't give me what I wanted. What am I becoming? But, then there's Xellos damn that was a good kiss. I only hope he returns my feelings.

Lina was jumbled out of her thoughts when she heard voices.

"Guys the jewel shards are really close," said a female voice.

As the group turned emerged from the forest Inuyasha was the first to notice Lina.

"I don't know what your doing back here demon, but I suggest you hand over your jewel shards."

Lina looked around. I don't see any demons here, she thought. Then she pointed to herself and said, "Me."

"No, the demon to your left," replied Inuyasha. She glanced to her left. "No, you idiot I mean you. So, hand them over."

"Hand over what?" Lina asked innocently.

"The jewel shards," cried Shippo.

"Oh, you mean these," she said as she pooled them out from a black portal.

"Now hand them over, and we wont have to hurt such a pretty woman," said Miroku.

Then Lina did something no one expected her to do, she handed Inuyasha the jewel shards.

This confused Inuyasha to no end.

"Since, you were so polite I decided to give you the jewel shards," said Lina.

"Well, uh ... thanks," said Inuyasha as he gave them to Kagome.

"Come on guys lets go," said Inuyasha.

"Although, there is a price for me giving you such a precious gift," said Lina.

"Oh, and what's that?" asked Sango.

Before, Lina could speak she notice someone rubbing her butt. She glanced downward and noticed it was the monk.

"PERVERT! FIREBALL! FIREBALL! FIREBALL! DRAGON SLAVE!"

After, Lina was finished casting the spells all you could see was a black dot, and in the center of the three mile crater there lay Miroku. To say the least Miroku was luck to be alive.

Inuyasha's group just stared in amazement at the power Lina had displayed.

"Serves him right," said Sango.

"That's harsh Sango. I don't even think Miroku deserved that," said Shippo.

"Well, as I was saying I want to travel with you in search of the jewel shards," said Lina.

"And why would you want to help us?" asked Inuyasha skeptically.

"Because I was so rude to you last night I want to show you that first impressions aren't everything," said Lina.

"Okay, I'll buy that for now," said Inuyasha.

"At the very least she'll be able to keep the pervert in line," said Sango.

"Or dead," said Shippo under his breath.

When that was all said and done Lina healed up Miroku, and the needless to say Miroku didn't even think about asking Lina to bare his children. The group continued onward to find more jewel shards.

Scene change

In Naraku's castle Naraku was listening to Kagura's report of the latest on the jewel shards.

"I had the human in sight, but this woman, who held great power took them from the man, and defeated me before I could acquire them," said Kagura.

"It would appear we might have more on our hands than Inuyasha, and his group," said Naraku.

Another man spoke, "Perhaps this girl could be of use to us. She might be able to kill Inuyasha for us because of her drive for the jewel shards."

"I don't know why someone as powerful as her is searching for them," said Kagura.

Naraku nodded and spoke, "Your new job is to find this girl, and when you do alert me so, I may meet her."

"Yes Naraku," said Kagura as she bowed, and was off.

"Inuyasha will never know what hit him," said Naraku.

"No they won't," laughed the other man.

And neither will you, thought the stranger.
