Hello and welcome to my 'third' chapter!

I'm trying to make the chapters a little more detailed, not so rushed sounding. I didn't like the first two; tell me if this one is any better.

Forgive me for any OOCness; I know there's a bunch.

Um…the disclaimer is in the first chapters… Anyway, I'm sure you guys are smart enough to know that I am not Rumiko Takahashi. 

Whatever I Want Chapter 3

"Okay Kaede, do I have everything?" asked Kagome; fussing with her huge, garish yellow bag (it had sentimental value so she wouldn't get rid of it).

"Yes child, now get going and keep yourself safe," she admonished sighing.

The group was leaving for the west today. They all stood at the edge of the village, between the forest and the last house on a clear, warm day.

Shippo and Selene were playing on the side of the road. They already had become fast friends. Selene was dressed in a small red kimono (like Rin's); they got rid of her pajamas. Miroku was meditating on the side of the road (Kagome had gone back and fourth for forgotten things for the last two hours). Sango and Inuyasha were sitting next to each other, talking quietly about nothing and occasionally lapsing into a comfortable silence.

Hmm, I wonder if she's why he's not screaming at me to leave, pondered Kagome as she walked out to meet them, adjusting the straps on her bag. "Okay! I'm ready, let's go!" she bounded toward them.

Such energy.

"Finally!" Inuyasha bolted to his feet, "I thought we were never going to go," Kagome held her breath, "…wench!"

"SIT BOY!" bam! into the ground went Inuyasha.

"What The Hell Was That For!"

"Inuyasha, if you don't know then you deserve it," said a slightly disappointed Sango.

"Feh," he turned away and his gaze landed on Miroku, who was still meditating, "Oi! Monk! We're ready! Get up!" he nudged him with his foot. He didn't move. "Get Up You Lazy Monk!" he nudged him harder.

"Inuyasha, stop it!" scolded Sango, walking over to the monk and touching him on the shoulder, "Miroku? Um...monk it's…" her eyes widened and her eye twitched, "Why you perverted…" SMACK! Miroku's hand had wandered again.

"MONK! Keep your hands to yourself!" roared Inuyasha. Sango, Miroku and Kagome were soon in an argument about perverts, hot-heads and rude people.

"Whoa! What's his problem!" whispered Selene to Shippo.

"Oh nothing, they get into fights like this all the time. Inuyasha likes Sango. Miroku likes Sango. Kagome used to like Inuyasha, but they go over it. Miroku is a pervert…"

"A pervert is bad," she said, then she frowned, "Should I get in the fight?"

Shippo looked askance at her, "Why?"

"Cause I like Inuyasha too."

Shippo nodded, "Yeah, but we're kids. I like my mama too, but they're fighting over adult stuff. Like parent type things."

"Oh. I don't remember my parents," she said absently. Shippo looked ashamed for reminding her about that but her tone was blasé, "You know Inu looks like someone I know…just the hair."

"Really! That's unusual. Silver is not a common color, even among demons,"

"…demons…" she mused, wrinkling her nose.

Shippo looked at her, puzzled by her tone.

"Demons mean not like us right?"

"Um…I'm a demon Selene," said Shippo sheepishly, "a fox demon," this he said proudly.

She looked at him really hard, "Is Inuyasha a demon?" she demanded.

"Kinda, he's half human and half demon, dog demon. Half-demons are not liked very well in this world."

"Oh, are the others demons too?"

"No, can't you tell which ones are demons or humans?" at the shake of her head he went on, "well traveling with us, you'll know the difference in a jiffy! But Sango is a demon slayer and Miroku is a monk."

"OH! I see now!" she grabbed his tail, "you have a tail!" she squealed, "It's so cute!" she fluffed it up and played with it, "And the ears too! I thought the markings were just make-up!" Shippo looked annoyed.

"I would never wear make-up! These are my family markings! Hey! That's not a toy!" she gave his tail a particularly hard yank, "hey! That hurts!"

"Sorry," she let go of him and turned her gaze to Inuyasha, studying him.

"He has those ears," she said suddenly, "I thought they were normal."

Shippo looked at her, "You know humans with those ears?"

The adults were still arguing, Kagome had just remembered something she had forgotten at Kaede's and went back to get it. Inuyasha was now screaming at her back.

Selene thought really hard, scrunching her face up, "Yeah, I think so," random memories popped into her head, along with horrible pain:

A woman yelling at a black haired man, who was smiling.

A man scooping her up and twirling her around, his pale yellow hair glistening.

Pale, blue eyes looking at her with love.

Grey eyes laughing, as he demanded her to play with him.

Selene crumpled to the ground the pain overtaking her and blood gushing out of her nose. Not noticing an alarmed Shippo yelling at Inuyasha to come here, she blacked out.

Well, tell me what you think? Is it better or at least different from the rest of the chapters?
