After a few days of traveling with them all, Shuichi quickly noticed the relationship between Miroku and Sango. When talking, just to be a pest, Shuichi would say 'Lovebirds' or 'Do you wanna be alone, you two?'. But she gained trust easily, unlike her supposedly younger brother, who barely gained all of their trust within a few weeks to a month or so.
Within her time of being with them, she could also see love in Inuyasha and Kagome's eyes when they speak to each other, and she didn't bother them. She wanted to see how dense Inuyasha could REALLY be. After one day, she could tell; he is one of the densest guys you'll ever meet.
After he got sat for going off with Kikyou, and knowing Kagome's feelings for that, Shuichi stood over him as he was face-first in the earth, "Ya know, Inuyasha... If you need advice on how to be 'nice' to a girl, ask." Shuichi poked Inuyasha's head with her left foot.
Inuyasha sat up, "I don't advice!" he snapped. Miroku and Sango sighed.
"Embrace yourselves..." Shippou said, from Miroku's shoulder.
"'Embrace'? We have ourselves a good spot to see a fight we may never see again." Miroku sighed. Sango glared at Miroku for a second, but turned back to the argument.
"Hehe... Good point. Advice you don't need, you need a good lesson in it. I'd make Miroku teach you," she pointed to the monk, who began wondering, "but I don't want you to be like him..." Shuichi sighed.
"What bad traits do I hold?" Miroku asked.
"I will not say in front of our young Shippou, whose mind is probably going bad because of seeing you as a lady's man!" Shuichi said, walking towards the gang. Inuyasha sat there, dumbfounded for a moment, then went on cursing under his breath, "Oh, and Inuyasha. Go get Kagome before..." Shuichi sniffed the air, "Wolves get her."
"Wolves?" Shippou's eye twitched.
"Kouga." Sango and Miroku was gaping on how quick Inuyasha got from his spot and ran after Kagome.
"Good thing whoever is near, or wherever Kagome goes, she wouldn't have made it." Shuichi sighed, "Who is whoever?"
"Kouga. He 'loves' Kagome." Shippou said.
"He really just wanted her for shards." Miroku stated.
"But now... I think it's a race." Sango added.
"Race? You mean Inuyasha and Kouga...?" Shuichi looked at all three of them.
"Fight for Kagome." all three said in unison. Shuichi sighed.
"Both are boneheads." Shuichi stated.
"We all know that. I think Inuyasha's more of one, though." Shippou said.
"Oh, Shippou... You're just saying that because Inuyasha hits you, don't you?" Shuichi giggled as Shippou didn't reply.
"We should head for the well." Sango said. Miroku nodded.
"If Kagome's there, and so are Inuyasha and Kouga..." Miroku sighed.
"There isn't a real reason to come here for her, except Inuyasha, huh?" Shuichi asked.
"I'll tell you later." Sango said as they began for the well. Kirara grew, allowing everyone, except Shuichi, on. Shuichi ran carelessly, happy. Even though her life was rougher than Inuyasha's. She had no one really looking after her. And after a year of not seeing her father, her older brother came in and drove her out. Kirara flew above the trees, occasionally seeing Shuichi jump out of the sea of trees.
Soon a small clearing was near, and shouting was heard, as well. "Inuyasha!" a female voice yelled.
"He has no right to touch you!" Inuyasha growled. Then an unfamiliar voice came in.
"Mangy mutt, get your hands off my woman!"
"Kouga, I assume?" Shuichi asked, jumping out of the trees for a minute.
"Oh, yes." Miroku said, before getting slapped for groping Sango's bottom. Shuichi and Shippou sweatdropped as Sango made Kirara land, and Shuichi continued ahead.
'Boy, this wolf reeks...' Shuichi thought as she saw the wolf. 'Just for fun...' Shuichi continued to run, for Kouga. She punched him straight to the ground. "What the--?" Kouga got up, and looked at Shuichi. "Inuyasha!"
"Inuyasha? Ha. I'm no one you know, fool. Stay away from Kagome, or answer to me and Inuyasha both." Shuichi said, looking real dark and determined to get this smelly wolf away from her friends.
"Oho." Kouga smirked, "I can see... Kin, eh? If kin, you are just as weak."
"Weak? Who got punched to the ground by a filthy 'half-breed', huh?" Shuichi snapped. Kouga looked stunned, but started off.
"Hey, mutt. Keep MY Kagome safe!" And with that, the blue tornado vanished as the rest of the gang appeared.
Shuichi laughed and jumped happily once. "Oh, yeah! Who's the hanyou? ME!" she giggled.
"Nice choice of words." Kagome said.
"Yeah." Inuyasha sweatdropped.
"Anyway, how come if you love Kagome here, you go off to your first love, who is dead?" Shuichi asked, looking at Inuyasha. Seeing the confused expression, "Look, it's SO obvious you and the miko were once lovers, and she's dead. And same goes wiht you and Kagome. It's like Sango and Miroku back there." Shuichi sighed. With this comment, Shippou saw both Miroku and Sango turn red.
Inuyasha and Kagome were, as well, blushing. Shuichi smiled, "I love to be of an assista--" a sucking sound from Shuichi's neck was heard, and she smacked her neck, to see a flew in her hand, "Myoga, you interrupted me..." Shuichi whimpered.
"So, Mistress." Myoga sighed.
"So, Myoga, ya knew of Shuichi being my sister?" Inuyasha glared at the flea.
"Oh, well... Yes, Master Inuyasha." Myoga said, looking at Inuyasha, "Lord InuTaiSho told me specifically not to tell you two."
"Let me at that flea!" Inuyasha was about to pounce on Shuichi's hand, but Shuichi pulled it away.
"Sheesh, since when did you care we were kin? Myoga, why didn't Father tell us?" Shuichi asked.
"Because... Of Sesshoumaru. He already knows of the You-Know-What." Myoga informed.
"What! Hey, I never..." Shuichi sighed.
"Whatever. But he knew of Tetsusaiga before me... I didn't even know it was in my eye!" Inuyasha folded his arms.
"But this and Tetsusaiga AND Toujikin together... He can destroy all of Japan, maybe all of Earth, if he wished." Shuichi explained.
"What is 'this'?" Sango asked, as the gang came near.
"'This' is an amulet. Amulet of Chaos, I call it. It's real name was lost in memories from Great-Great Grandfather." Shuichi said.
"Kami, you know of our family than me." Inuyasha blinked.
"Well, I did live with Father." Shuichi said.
"Our old man could havbe atleast let you know I was around." Inuyasha stated.
"'Old man'? Nice son you have, Father..." Shuichi muttered, "But yes, Father, or this coward of a flea, could have told us sooner."
"Hey!" Myoga snapped, "I resent that."
"It's true..." the whole gang said. Myoga folded all four of his arms.
"I'll be going. Be warned, Sesshoumaru has the Staff of Two Heads. He is searching as I speak." Myoga bounced away.
"Man, he always leaves when I need him most..." Shuichi sighed as she stood up.
"He seems to do that a lot." Kagome said.
"Can we go to Kaede's, since we're near?" Shippou asked.
"Yes, I can't wait to see those girls-- Er... I mean, I won't mind some leisure time!" Miroku quickly said, seeing the cold stare from Sango.
"Yeah, Inuyasha. I need more herbs. If what Myoga says is true, than Naraku isn't just our problem. Sesshoumaru is--"
"I KNOW!" Inuyasha bellowed, "Fine, let's go." Inuyasha started off for Kaede's. Kagome smiled.
Miroku and Sango also followed, then Kagome and Shuichi alone in the back. "So, why didn't you tell us?" Kagome asked.
"Uh... Well... I kinda could tell I was related to Inuyasha from the start, and when I found out he was younger, I really didn't want all of you stuck in the middle of my problem..." Shuichi broke a smile.
"Oh, please! We help, well, after I make Inuyasha, well, we do help. Whenever and whoever. Except demons, most seem to be after Inuyasha." Kagome laughed. Shuichi smiled and nodded, then touched her middle of her chest, and felt the amulet turn so cold, then flash heat, then cold once more.
