Chapter 27: Friends and Firelight

Rachel sat by a fire, surrounded by the people she had just met. She could feel them staring at her. "Um, hi."

The guy with ears on his head growled.

The blackhaired girl glared. "Inuyasha, SIT!!!"

The boy hit the ground, hard. Rachel looked on, wide-eyed.

The girl looked at Rachel and smiled. "Hi, my name's Kagome." She pointed to the boy facedown in the dirt. "He's Inuyasha." He grunted in response. "Sorry, he doesn't have very good manners."

Inuyasha pulled his head off the ground, "I do to, I didn't kill her did I?"

Kagome glared. "Inuyasha..."

"Nononono please don't 'sit' me!!!" He begged.

Kagome closed her eyes. "Then behave yourself."

Rachel smiled. 'They must really like each other.' Then, a young man came up and held her two hands.

"I am Miroku, and I must ask you, young girl. Will you bear my son?"

Rachel's eyes grew wide, she desperatly tried to pull her hands out of his grasp. She desperatly wanted to run. But, Miroku held firm, he used to the girls running.

"PERVERT!!!"

A very large object landed on the pervert's head, and he fell unconscience to the ground. A girl with long brown hair stood over him. "I'm Sango, Demon Exterminator. He's Miroku, group pervert. Nice to meet you."

A small fox demon jumped into Rachel's arms. "I'm Shippou! Hi!"

Rachel nodded and down in front of the fire by the sleeping monk. "My name is Rachel."

Sango looked at her. "Rachel, word of advice, when he wakes up," she pointed at Miroku, "you might not like where his hands end up."

Rachel's face went white, she quickly got up and moved to the other side of the fire. "Thanks for telling me."

Sango nodded. "Don't worry about it."

Then, the monk rose. "Why, Sango, I didn't know you were jealous." He said teasingly.

She just glared at the monk and raised a fist.

Kagome just ignored the two. "So, Rachel, where are you from?"

Rachel was expecting this. 'Well, here goes nothing.' She told them her very long story.

********************************************************************************

Arius just glared at Naraku. "I thought you were powerful!!!" He yelled.

Naraku didn't like to be yelled at. "I am, its you who's weak!!!"

Arius was fuming, but arguements never got anyone anywhere, and he could always kill this fool when all was said and done. "Okay, we need to stratigise more and fight less." He said begrudingly.

Little did he know, Naraku was also planning his death. He grinned evilly beneath his pelt. "I agree."

So, they planned into the night.

********************************************************************************

"Wow, you know a real princess?" Kagome was impressed. Rachel nodded.

Inyasha folded his arms and fehed. "So, what so special about that? Just a helpless girl."

Rachel looked at him sharply. "She is not helpless. I'll have you know in my dimenstion, the princess is the main defender from aliens and rouge monsters!"

Sango looked interested. "Really? Is she powerful?"

Rachel nodded. "She is more powerful than me and everyone else that I have met."

Miroku looked starry eyed. "Do you think she would bear my child?"

"PERVERT!!!" He was hit by a huge bomerang and fell to the ground, unconsceince.

Kagome yawned and looked at the sleeping Shippou. "Maybe we should continue this tomorrow, I'm beat."

They all nodded in agreement.

Soon later, Rachel was wrapped in a blanket Kagome lent her. Kagome was in her sleeping bag with Shippou beside her, Inuyasha was sleeping on a nearby tree. Sango slept by Kirara, far away from the perverted monk, who was still unconscience from her last hit with the bomerang.

Rachel looked at the stars overhead. She noted how clear the sky was. 'Rose, I hope you're okay.' She looked at the moon, it was a small sliver. She felt herself start to drift into dreamland. 'It looks like the new moon will be tomorrow.' She thought as sleep took her.

Little did she know, how important that piece of information was...
