-Chapter 8
"Naraku…that evil man…"
Kagome nodded agreeing, Making them kill friends, was no fun. It was painful. Even if they just met, they were still friends. The girls journeyed down the path hoping to find as many jewel shards on the way as possible.

"Inuyasha, do you sense any demons yet?"
"No."
The kitsune was getting annoying again, and the monk wasn't around…(Light bulb image flashes)
"That's it! Here my chance to kill the runt and say he wandered off somewhere!"
Inuyasha eyed the kid beside him, walking not expecting what would happen next. Inuyasha smiled and acted as innocent as possible. But as most of us know, he's never really good at doing that…
"I-Inuyasha…why are you- Eeek!"
Inuyasha dove for the squirt, but missed, and landed face first in the soil. He stood up as fast as he could manage and started looking around. Then he saw it, a cream coloured tail dive into the bushes.
"This is it!"
Inuyasha sprinted to the trees and got ready to swipe when he heard squeals coming from…behind the trees…
"Huh?!"
Inuyasha peered through the branches and saw the girls from a few weeks ago, and there, was Shippo. Curled up in Kagome's arms. They were all laughing, having a good time. Inuyasha decided to turn back, typical of the kid to go and hide somewhere where the hanyou couldn't attack…
"Well, there's nothing here now…Mind as well-"
"So where's Inuyasha?"
"Umm…"
"And Miroku?"
"Miroku's…I don't know…"
"You don't?"
"But Inuyasha's looking for me I know it."
Kagome smiled and looked over at Sango, she was wearing a sad expression. Kagome knew what was wrong, she herself was trying to hide the wave of emotions that were begging to be let out. There was a long silence nothing seemed to be happening…But Inuyasha just took the moment to step in.
"Commere you stupid thing!"
"WaaahH!!"
Shippo dug deeper into Kagome, wailing and kicking. It was as if Inuyasha was going to eat the kid alive or something…but then again, Kagome didn't know what Inuyasha's intentions for Shippo were. The girls looked at the hanyou and gave him a skeptical look.
"What did you do to him?!"
Inuyasha shrugged and took another step closer to Shippo, who squealed yet again and ran behind Kagome. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha again and from the look in her eyes he knew she didn't belive him. But that didn't matter. He couldn't hurt the kitsune in front of the girls anyways. And if on cue, the monk stepped through the trees at the precise moment, causing everyone to turn their heads.
"Hello there ladies, what brings you here… again?"
Sango flushed, she knew it, but she couldn't stop it. It was just one of those things…Miroku noticed her and smiled. He walked towards her and sat down beside the tajiya. Just as he did so Kagome flinched. Not from Miroku but from sensing a jewel shard.
"Sango, we have to go."
"But…why?"
"It's near…"
Sango understood. With a quick nod she stood up and the girls walked into the forest, but not before telling the boys that they would be back soon…
"Where is it?"
"It's so close!"
The two of them ran until they reached it…a camp? They hid behind the bushes. Watching for the owners, the people who were residing there to come out. And sure enough they did.
"Miroku and Inuyasha?!"
The girls stepped out of their hiding place and scared the guys. It was as if they appeared outta no where…
"I thought you said that you were going to look for a demon?"
"We were…"
"But then it sort of.. just flew away and we couldn't catch it." Kagome finished.
Kagome started looking around, and saw them. The glow from the Shikon shards. It was in a bottle or something…under Inuyasha's clothes?! Even Kagome had restrictions, even if she really did want to take it from him. Without her knowing, Kagome started to blush. Inuyasha looked over.
"Hey Kagome, Why's your face so red?"
"Huh? Oh..um..it's..uh… It's hot out tonight!"
"Uh huh"
It was actually a pretty cold night out but he just let it go. The two girls were invited to stay the night with they guys again. While they were setting up the fire Sango dragged Kagome somewhere out of hearing range.
"Well? Did you find them yet?"
"Yeah…But they're under Inuyasha's clothes, in a bottle."
Sango groaned leave it to guys to put valueable things in hard to reach places. They sat there and tried to think of a plan, but none came up. And it wasn't like they were going to seduce them anytime soon…
"Hey! Sango! Kagome! Dinner's ready!"
The females walked back over to camp and settled down. It was the same dinner they had last time while they camped together. Rice. Even if it was nothing much, it was still food. They all ate silently until Shippo decided to speak.
"So, where'd you go?"
"Over there." Kagome said and pointed to the trees.
Shippo gave her a I-knew-that look and asked another question.
"What were you doing over there?"
Kagome was about to think about some reasonable excuse when Miroku cut in.
"Shippo don't be so nosey."
After that things just went quiet again. There wasn't a lot to talk about anymore. But there was a lot to think about. For Kagome and Sango, it was more like:
'How are we going to get the jewel shards from them?'
'How do we kill them?'
'Can't we not kill them?'
'I hate Naraku.'
But for the guys…well they didn't really have a lot of stress weighing them down. They didn't even know the girls were following a plan.

Morning
--
Sango yawned. The first rays of the sun was just shining over the mountains. It was early. The birds were singing, the air was still freash, everything was peaceful. Even Inuyasha was relaxed. Just as Sango let that thought slide she stiffend. Inuyasha was up. At this hour?!
"Hey Sango, you alright?"
"Hmm? Oh, yeah."
"Why are you up so early?"
"I always get up this early… why are you up so early?"
" 'Cause I'm a hanyou."
"And…"
"I can."
Sango sighed. "Of course – anyone can"
"But not the others" Inuyasha added motioning to the figures slumped against something solid.
Sango walked over to the springs and started to splash her face with cold water. It always thwarted off any signs of sleepyness still left on her face. Right after that she went back to her original spot, Beside Kagome. The others won't wake up for a while so there won't be anything to do.

afternoon
--
"Once again ladies, I bid you farewell."
"Bye!"
"Can't they come with us?" Shippo tugged on Inuaysha's sleeve.
Inuyasha looked up and saw the girls looking right back at him. It was like they wanted to too. Miroku answered that question before Inuaysha had a chance.
"Yes. Would you like to join our group?"
Sango and Kagome looked at each other and smiled.
"Sure!"
The girls turned around and started heading off the same direction as the guys. Wherever they were going. Shippo jumoed off Miroku's shoulder and lept onto Kagome's. He like it better.
In the bushes, one of Naraku's puppets was smiling, an evil smile. He was covered up by the leaves and branches.
"So…They have joined up have they?"
'Naraku' turned around and started walking back to the castle. His plan was going exactly as planned.
--
Naraku's castle
--
"So you are willing to help me then?"
"Fine. But what's in it for me?"
Kagura glared at the half-demon Naraku. She wasn't going to do anything for free.
"Have you ever heard of the Shikon no Tama?"
-knock knock-
Naraku looked over and saw his puppet have returned with the information he was waiting for. He signalled for it to come in. The golem told Naraku eveything and set off again, trying to find out even more. Naraku faced Kagura again and smiled.
"Your plan is working quite well. If we join up, we may just about be invincible."
"I'll think about that…"
Kagura walked out of the room and quietly shut the door behind her. Once again she bumped into 'the girl in white'
"You again."
"Who did you expect? I reside here."
"I hate how I can never sense you." Kagura snarled,she was running into this girl way too often these days. It was like as if the little girl was her stalker.
"I was never meant to be 'sensed' by anyone. Even Naraku himself…cannot sense me."
Kanna kept walking and turned around the corner. When she was sure she was all alone, Kagura sank down to the floor and let out a huge sigh.
"I know something's wrong here…I just can't figure out what it is…"
-End
I'm sorry it took so long to come out! It's not that I don't have any ideas for this story…just I don't know how I should put it into words…
Anyhow R&R thanks!!
