Another chapter from yours truly!

Though this might be random and I doubt that anyone would read this, if you have ever heard "You Found Me" by Kelly Clarkson then that is a song that resembles Kumi.

Disclaimer: …I think you already know what I am going to say so I am not going to waste my time typing this.

The demon awoke with the sun in her eyes. Damn that sun always wrecks her sleep. As she got up the pain from her stomach stopped her. She looked down too she what was the matter and saw that her stomach was bandaged. She became confused and lay back down only to feel a soft pillow catch her fall from the ground.

She abruptly got up again, ignoring her stomachs cry of protest and looked to see that the soft pillow was a huge demon cat, sleeping beside her. 'What the…'

Confused she looked at her surroundings. Two girls were sleeping side by side in some sort of bag thingies and one had a small fox child sleeping at her feet. Beside them was a man also sleeping in that bag.

She cocked her head. Did these people help her? Becoming bored the demon lay back on the demon cat. It had been a long time before someone actually cared for her and bandaged her up like this. Just then she remembered her sword and became frantic. She calmed down when her sword was beside her, unharmed.

She let out a sigh and looked up at the baby blue sky. She would have left if it wasn't for her stupid stomach. It hurt so damn much. Even touching it made her wince. Of course she didn't mind staying here if it was going to be this relaxing.

She turned on her side and cuddled further into the demon cat's soft, warm fur. Yeah she was going to like it here. Just as she was about to go to back to sleep her nostrils flared when a disgusting smell entered her nose, almost like horse dung. The smell of a hanyou.

She peered over the cat's stomach only to hide behind it as the hanyou came into view. She lay into a sleeping position and tried to make it look like she was sleeping. She felt the hanyou's glare on her back but she did nothing. Even if she wanted to her stomach would slow her down.

When the hanyou's glare turned away and moved her head so she could watch him.

She knew that hanyou and she already told him that yesterday. She smirked when she remembered his face when she told him, a look of surprise and confusion. Strange though, how he never knew about her until now.

The hanyou shook the girl with the fox child sleeping beside her feet, waking her up. "C'mon Kagome let go" he demanded. She grumbled, "Why? Its still morning"

He growled, "Because I don't want to be staying here when there are jewel shards to be found"

Jewel shards? The demon had heard that from somewhere before.

Kagome still didn't move from her sleeping bag. It was probably five in the morning on her watch. This irritated the hanyou even more, "Fine. If you don't want to get up I'll just have to help you"

Her eyes finally opened up, "You wouldn't dare"

A playful smirk appeared on the hanyou's features. He pulled the sleeping bag from underneath her and she fell on the ground with a thump, the fox child repeating her actions. When she caught her footing she glared at him making him cringe with fear.

The demon snorted. How pathetic, a hanyou scared of a human. What could she possibly do to him that would make him this scared…

"Sit Boy!"

The rosary around his neck glowed purple and the hanyou fell, face first into the ground.

Oh, that. The noise woke everyone including the demon cat, which purred when she saw her awake. Kagome looked at Kirara, ignoring the angry half-demon's profanity towards her, and smiled at the demon girl. "Glad to see your awake"

The demon snorted and crossed her arms. Used to this type of behaviour Kagome smiled again. She looked at the bandages that were on her arms and the important one around the demon's stomach. There were a few blood stains but nothing to be worried about. When she moved her hands toward the bandages the demon moved back.

"Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you" she cooed hoping to calm down the demon girl.

The demon thought it over. She had never trusted anyone in so long and these people did help her get better. What harm could they do? So when Kagome tried again to take her bandages off, she let her. The girl smiled and removed the bandages on her arm.

Kagome tried not to but couldn't stop looking at the demon's tail. Every time the bandage hurt her it twitched, acting just like Buyo's tail. It never stopped moving. It always hit the ground almost like keeping beat with something. Sometimes it would swish too and fro and other times it would stay still for about a minute before moving again.

After Kagome had finished taking the not so serious bandages off she was ready to ask some questions. "Now that that's done, may I ask you something?"

The demon blinked before nodding and turning her gaze away from Kagome.

"What's you're name?"

Her answer was in a whisper and Kagome was lucky that she could hear it, "Kumi"

Well that was easy. Kagome thought she would put up a fight by the way she was acting yesterday. If she could get her name then maybe she could get something more, "Where are you from? We found you out in the forest. You must be from somewhere"

Kumi opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted when the smell of horse dung entered her nose once again. She looked up and glared at the half-demon that was standing above them. "She won't tell you anything Kagome, now put her on Kirara and let's get going"

Kumi gave the hanyou a nasty look before standing up. She was almost Inuyasha's height only a few inches shorter. Looking at the hanyou one more time she grabbed her sword and sat beneath a tree away from the hanyou.

Kagome scowled at him, "What was that for!"

"What?" he yelled, returning the scowl.

Oh, like he didn't know! "She was about to tell me something and you rudely interrupted!"

The hanyou snorted, "She wouldn't have to you anything anyway"

"Let's hope not, our else I'm blaming it on you" Kagome finished as she rolled her sleeping bag back up and packed it into her bag. As everyone started to pack up, Inuyasha looked at Kumi sitting underneath the tree.

After what she had said to him yesterday it kept ringing in his mind. If she was his sister then why wouldn't his mother tell him about her? "Inuyasha, can you help over her please!" Kagome called. He walked over to help, the question never leaving his mind.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Stupid hanyou,' she thought. 'After what I told him yesterday he at least should treat me nicely'

Kumi looked at the blue sky above her. Sky larks flew across the sky, chirping gaily with out a care in the world. She whished she could be like the sky larks, happy and free. Unfortunately she was the direct opposite of it, her being a hanyou and all, well, not totally. She was more demon then Inuyasha, that's for sure or else he wouldn't smell that horrible toward her.

She sighed then felt small weight on her legs. When she looked down a kitsune was sitting on her lap, looking at her with curiosity. His gaze scared her and she arched her brow, "What?"

The kitsune blinked before answering her question, "Did you really survive Inuyasha's Wind Scar?"

Kumi didn't know what the brat was talking about and just stared at him with an emotionless expression, hoping he'd get the idea that she wanted to be alone. He didn't. "Oh! Sorry, I'm Shippo! Kagome always says it's polite to greet yourself to a new guest."

Kumi smirked. This fox child was cute, she had to admit and not half bad. Maybe she could be nicer to the little guy. "Mine's Kumi" she said. His smile was so cute that it made her smile as well. "I think Inuyasha's wrong about you," Shippo crossed his legs and sat in front of Kumi, "You're really nice Kumi"

She smiled then frowned when she looked up at Inuyasha. Did he really have bad judgements about her already? Her vision was blocked by Shippo's face, "What are you looking at Kumi?"

His face turned direction trying to see what his new friend was looking at. He noticed that she was looking at Inuyasha and smiled when he looked back at her. "So you're looking at Inuyasha huh?" He jumped back on the ground, hand placed on his hips, "Why do have such a grudge against him? He's a really nice guy once you get past his rough exterior" He was happy for himself when he said such a big word.

Kumi looked to her left, away from the curious fox demon. That was something she wasn't ready to tell anyone yet, not after what happened so long ago. A tear moved freely down her cheek as she thought of that horrible day.

Shippo immediately became worried. Had he said something wrong? "Kumi…?"

The conversation was cut short when Kagome yelled to them that they were leaving. Sighing once more Kumi got up and walked toward the group, Shippo perched on her shoulder.

Maybe this wasn't going to be such a bad thing after all.
