Chapter 2

"You need what?" he asked her, trying to back away. Just as he asked her body became limp and she dropped her blade. She looked to the ground and answered him,

"They killed everyone… my mother, the children… the elders," she seemed uneasy, and suddenly looked up at him. "I need you to help me kill the yokai, Naraku." She bent over and picked up her blade and put it back into its smooth black sheath. "The demon Naraku and his little sidekick, Kagura massacred my village. The strong men, as well as my mother tried to stop them but they were killed almost immediately… My mother! The great fox demon, Queen of the fox yokai! Killed by that scum." She began to cry, her tears poured down her face and onto the dark brown dirt. "After he killed them, he killed everyone else that was in my village, even the pups. He was trying to find Shikon no Tama shards, but there wasn't any."

"Where were you when this happened?" Inu Yasha asked, as his sister stood up and wiped off her face. "How do you know that there weren't any shards?"

"I know because I had left my village to search for the jewel," Suddenly she began crying in hysterics. "When I returned, everything was gone: no bodies, no homes, not even the grass remained on the ground. All that was left was a little girl, whose limbs had all been severed… She told me everything that happened and died."

Sango shuttered at this and attempted to place her hand on the woman's shoulder but was rejected. Inu Yasha wasn't sure what to do, he knew what Naraku was capable of doing, Naraku had killed the woman he loved fifty years ago. "I'll help you." She looked at him with great respect.

"But our older brother tells me that you are already searching for him," she said, straightening her body and wiping the tears from her face again.

"I am. You'll have to join us," he said, continuing before she could get a word in. "I'll only tell you this one though, don't get in my way." "And, if you join with me you will have to travel with three humans, so make up your mind now."

She looked at him surprised, "I will do what I must."

The walk back to the others was silent, it was also silent while Inu Yasha and his sister explained the new addition to their group. His sister was hesitant to talk to Kagome, Sango and Miroku, but enjoyed talking to the young fox boy, in a way they were connected and Inu Yasha left them alone for about an hour. They traveled into the forest until the found a clearing near a hot spring, the girls (not including Rikku) decided to bathe, while Miroku and Inu Yasha set up camp and made a fire. Shippou joined the men while Rikku decided to find another spring so that she could be alone.

"Inu Yasha, do think it's wise letting your sister join us?" Miroku asked, putting some twigs into the fire, making blaze as the smoke blew towards Inu Yasha. "You've only just met her and she seems angry."

"Miroku, what makes you think that I ever thought about it being wise to let any of you come with kagome and I," Inu Yasha responded, laughing. "I don't even think it's wise for Kagome to join me." Suddenly Inu Yasha's mind drifted off… Kagome … Kagome. He remembered the first time they had met and he had thought she was Kikyo, he told her Kikyo was much prettier than she was, but he had lied. Kagome was young, her body was slim and toned (due to all of her traveling), her hair was slightly curled and her eyes seemed so happy. Unlike Kikyo, who was tall and matured, her eyes full of hate and sorrow. He loved Kikyo, the old Kikyo; really he loved Kagome, he felt that feeling he once had for Kikyo when he looked at Kagome.

"Well, I guess your right," Miroku said, leaning towards Inu Yasha and whispering. "How about we go down to the hot springs and take a look at the girls?" He smiled after he said this.

"Yeah, and then Sango can knock you out while Kagome kicks me between the–"

Miroku interrupted him, "Fine my dear friend, remain a coward and stay and watch Shippou, maybe once he is older I'll have a companion to peep on the girls with," he picked up his golden staff and began to walk away towards the woods.

Inu Yasha looked at the sleeping fox boy and rolled his eyes, "Oh I'm coming you crazy Monk!" He stood up and ran to catch up with Miroku, who seemed to be walking very fast.

You could see the seam in the air coming up from the clear water in the large spring in the ground. The hot spring was surrounded by boulders that were a few feet tall and wide, inside the water, Kagome and Sango sat a few feet away from each other as they cleaned off their dirty bodies.

"I didn't know that Inu Yasha had anyone in his family other than Sesshomaru," said Kagome, wringing out a white cloth and wiping her arm off.

"I don't think he knew either," replied Sango, who dipped her head under water and came up quickly. "She sure knew about him though, she acted as if they had just been with one another at a family meal or something.

"Well knowing Inu Yasha, he probably knew something about having a sister and just forgot," said Kagome, cleaning off one of her legs with the towel. "She's not very friendly is she?"

"Well, she did stress the fact that she hated humans," Sango answered. "But she said she'd do whatever it took to destroy Naraku, so I guess she's stuck with us."

Kagome laughed, "It's pretty sad what happened to her though,"

"It's kind of like what happened to me," Sango said abruptly, a sad look wiping across her face. "Having no one and having no home… at least she has her two brothers."

Kagome remembered what happened to Sango, her entire village was destroyed and her only brother was put under a curse for Naraku. "Naraku deserves what he's got coming," she sneered, making a fist.

"I think I'm going to get out," Sango said, grabbing a towel and covering herself as she got out of the spring. "You coming?"

"No," Kagome answered, looking up at Sango. "I think I'll stay in a little while longer."

"Okay, suite yourself," Sango said as she walked into the woods surrounding them.

"Inu Yasha, what's wrong with you?" she asked herself out loud. "Inu Yasha…" She was mesmerized, she could only think about his serious looking face and his gorgeous eyes. She could remember what all of his muscles looked like that were hidden under his fiery red kimono. Oh, how she wished he were there, in the warm spring… "Wait," she hit herself in the face. "Get a hold of your self, he hasn't even gotten the courage to kiss you yet," She could remember all the times he had hugged her pointlessly, they seemed so significant at the time but getting hugs wasn't exactly what she wanted to be doing with him. She stood up out of the water, the moonlight shining on her wet, bare skin. She attempted to grab her towel when she heard someone yelling, she knew it was Sango and she knew why she was yelling. Quickly, she grabbed her belongings and ran towards the woods.

It didn't take long for Inu Yasha and Miroku to find their way. Miroku arrived behind one of the large rocks surrounding the spring first. "Inu Yasha, here, here!" Whispered Miroku, waving Inu Yasha over as he peeked threw a crack between two of the rocks.

He looks so happy, Inu Yasha thought looking at the smiling, almost jumping Miroku. He looked threw one of the cracks himself and saw Sango getting out of the water, you couldn't see anything; she was to quick pulling the towel around herself. He looked over at Miroku, who had his hand inside his robe. How can he be doing that when I'm right here! Inu Yasha asked himself, looking away quickly as Miroku began breathing heavily. He peeked threw one of the cracks again and saw Kagome, he could see her, all of her. He watched her nervously, licking his lips as his mouth became dry, swallowing sometimes for no reason. She was so perfect, so small, he wanted to jump over the rock and get in with her, but he would never really do that.

"Come on," whispered Miroku, walking away. "If Sango gets there before us where would she think we went?" They walked through the woods quickly, almost at a slight jog. Finally they reached the small clearing where their camp was, but to no ones surprise Sango was standing there, arms crossed (and fully dressed). "I'm… umm… Er – Sorry," Miroku grinned, giggling slightly.

"You are, are you?" she said sarcastically, looking as if she wasn't going to strike him. Suddenly she punched him in the face and he tumbled backward into Inu Yasha, who pushed him into Sango. Sango tripped over and stared at Miroku with a look so horrifying that even Inu Yasha was frightened. "How Dare you!" she screamed, jumping to her feet and pounding Miroku into the ground. She stood above Miroku's beaten body and stared Inu Yasha, she took a step toward him and he turned around to run in her opposite direction but Kagome was standing right in front of him, wrapped in her towel.

"Inu Yasha!" Kagome screamed this and flung her leg between Inu Yasha's legs.

Miroku and Inu Yasha were both out cold until the next morning.
