Crystal: Hi! Phoenix and I kinda had a fight about what we should put here!
Phoenix: Yeah, and she had a stupid reason as to why we should use her idea!
Crystal: It is MY account!
Phoenix: Haven't you heard sharing rhymes with caring!
Crystal: Since when do I care?
Phoenix: Oh yeah……..
Disclaimer: Do we ever own anything? (Phoenix: I own an Inuyasha Manga! Crystal: Your mom bought it for you so it kinda belongs to her. Phoenix: That's right, bring me down!)

"Inuyasha, how far away is this village that "most definitely has a jewel shard?"" Kagome said tiredly, after all they had been walking all day without a second of a break.
Inuyasha growled at her. "Be quiet, we'll be there soon!"
Miroku looked at Sango and sighed. "Alas, Another weary day of travel. It gets old fast."
"Amen to that, brother." Kagome agreed.
Sango gave her a weird look, "What does that mean?"
"Well-" Kagome stopped and swayed slightly.
Inuyasha was at her side instantly. "What's the matter," He noticed the looks he received, "I mean, do you sense a shard?"
Kagome shook her head. "No, but I felt something powerful. It's coming right at us!" She turned her head and pointed to a large clump of trees.
All of a sudden a little girl stepped out of them. She smiled at them. "Hello."
Inuyasha stared at her before laughing, "Her? She is powerful? She's even too small for Miroku to grope!"
"Hey!" Miroku said, offended.
The little girl blinked at them and smiled. "I want to play with you. You're all going to come with me, right now!" The girl waved her hand and beckoned them towards her. Miroku, Sango, Shippo and even Inuyasha were lifted up and pulled forward by an unknown force. But Kagome stayed where she was, maybe it was her miko powers that stopped the girls spell from working on her but Kagome wasn't about to let her take her friends.
"Wait! You can't just take them!" Kagome grabbed onto Sango's hand, who grabbed Shippo's hand, who grabbed Miroku's hand, who grabbed Inuyasha's hand, who grimaced at having to touch Miroku. Kagome pulled them towards her and away from the scowling girl.
"You stop that now! Ooh, I'm gonna get you good for taking away my toys!" The girl snarled, her face twisting from an innocent expression into a menacing one. She lifted her hand and a ball of light energy that gradually got bigger was aimed at Kagome. "You die now!" The light exploded from her hand and hurtled at Kagome.
Kagome gasped and raised her hands as her only defense, seeing as her friends were still hanging in midair. She closed her eyes and felt the ball sweep over her. She opened her eyes to see everyone standing there, as if waiting for something to happen.
The girl cursed and hit herself on the head, "Stupid idiot! That was the wrong spell….can't believe I…" she walked away, muttering to herself.
Kagome blinked. "That was…..weird."
Shippo jumped on her shoulder. "That was cool, the light thingy just went inside you. Do you feel weird?"
Kagome shrugged. "I've been better. Come on; let's go to Kaede's for the night."
Kagome sighed as she sipped her soup. 'Ah, this is good, so relaxing.'
She settled down, leaning against the wall when she heard something. 'I wonder what Sango would do if I snuck into her bed?' Kagome blinked and turned to Miroku. "She'll hit you of course."
Miroku stared at her with a confused expression. "What?"
"You just asked what Sango would do if you snuck into her bed."
Miroku thought for a second. "Did I think that out loud?" Of course, Sango hit him for that.
Kagome shook her head. "You must have." She sighed again and relaxed. Her eyes settled on the eating Shippo.
'I love candy. Doo doo doo do do, I love candy. I wonder if Kagome will bring more.'
Kagome sat up straight. 'Ok I know his mouth didn't move. But how's that possible? Unless...that girl! That spell she cast on me must have made me able to read minds. Wait……this could be kinda cool. Let's see what Miroku is thinking.' She concentrated on Miroku. (A/N: Can you say 'stupid.'?)
'Those women in Kagome-sama's magazines are certainly beautiful. I wonder what Sango-chan would look like in those skimpy bathing suits.' Of course he got into a few fantasies, all which disturbed Kagome.
"God, Miroku, Ewwwww!" Kagome said, covering Shippo's ears, forgetting that no one else but her could here his thoughts.
"What! What did I do?" Miroku looked around and Sango hit him.
Miroku whined, "But what did I do?"
"I don't know. But it had to be perverted." Sango shrugged,
Miroku pouted. "You people always think the worst of me."
When things quieted down Kagome silently sighed. 'O…k, stupid idea! But…what about Inuyasha?'
She looked at Inuyasha. '………… (Crickets chirp)……………'
She sweatdropped, 'I could've guessed that. Well, I guess I better tell the others, I don't want to be stuck with this forever.' Kagome looked at her friends. "Um, guys? I got something I should tell you."
They looked at her expectantly.
"You see, Miroku didn't do anything perverted, well he did, but in his head. I sorta read his mind."
They stared at her and Sango glared at Miroku. "What other stuff did he think?"
"You don't want to know." Kagome laughed nervously.
Inuyasha piped up, "How?"
"Well, remember that little girl? Her spell must have done this."
Kaede looked at Kagome and asked. "This young girl, did she seem demon-like?"
Kagome nodded. "Definitely demonic, if someone was demonic it would be her. Demonic must be her middle-"
Kaede cleared her throat as a sign for Kagome to shut up. "Hmm, just as I thought, there has been a young demon girl terrorizing our neighboring village. They have asked my help to banish her but she keeps disappearing into her home, deep in the mountains and any man who goes looking for her never comes back."
Inuyasha smirked. "Then maybe she's got some shards. We'll find her and kill her to free Kagome of her spell."
Kaede nodded, "Then you shall leave tomorrow."
Kagome growled angrily. "Will you all stop thinking so much? God, it's like you never shut up!"
Miroku leaned to Sango. "She's certainly grumpy, isn't she?"
Sango nodded. "I would be too if I had your thoughts running around my head."
Kagome glared at them and turned away. "Inuyasha seems to be the only one who gives me a little bit of relief."
The hanyou smirked. "Yeah…..wait, hey!" He scowled at Kagome and the others who were laughing quite hard.
Kagome giggled, her mood brightened. She reached and petted his head, "Poor puppy, did I confuse you?"
Inuyasha jerked away and jumped into a tree to pout.
"Come on, Inuyasha, we don't have all day. We gotta get going!" Kagome yelled up to him
Inuyasha just shifted and turned away from her. "Feh!"
Kagome growled. "Well 'Feh' to you too! Now SIT!"
Inuyasha yelped as he was dragged down by the necklace. Ah, he hadn't seen his good friend ground for a while. He couldn't say he missed it.
"Now come on! And don't think I didn't hear those thoughts about me. The one time you do think and it's something mean. Tsk Tsk, Inuyasha."
The group set off into the woods, heading towards the mountains. 'Maybe, up here I'll see some rabbits! Those sexy rabbits…mmmm.'
Kagome looked at her friends with wide eyes. 'I don't think I want to know who thought that!' She shuddered and continued walking.
5 hours later
"Look there's the village!" Kagome pointed to the small town, happy to be near the place that might rid her of the spell. The thoughts her friends had were disturbingly disturbing. She pulled the others into the village and was bombarded with thoughts.
'I wonder if I should buy a chicken."
'That woman is way too demanding, one day I'll just take a shovel and hit upside the head again and again and again…'
'I wonder what would happen if I threw a rock at my father?'
'I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts and their all standing in a row! Big ones! Small ones! Some as big as your head!'
Kagome sweatdropped and looked around at the people. Guess it's true what they say; you can never tell if someone's crazy just by looking at them. She turned to her friends.
'Ah, the pleasure that is Sango's bottom!'
'Ah, the pleasure that is Miroku's hand on my bottom!'
'Ah…well, I don't know! But everyone else was ah-ing!'
'Ah, the pleasure that is Kagome's skirt in a draft!'
Kagome glared at Inuyasha who looked at her. "Did you hear that?"
"Mm-hm!"
"Oh well….how about we find that girl!"
Kagome turned away and held her skirt down. They continued down the pathway through the village until Kagome realized something. "Hey, does anybody know which direction we should be going?" They all turned to Inuyasha, who shrugged.
Miroku, who was ogling some girls, spoke up. "Let's just see the village priestess." Everyone agreed and they were on there way. When they finally found the hut of the local miko they pulled back the straw flap and entered.
"Who goes?" An aged woman said, coming out of the shadows.
"Um, my name's Kagome and these are my friends. We need a little help, you see a little girl with powers cast a spell on me and now I can read minds. We need to figure out how to get rid of it." Kagome said smiling at the woman.
"A girl! Oh no! You mustn't go to the mountain of the evil one….evil one….evil one." The woman shrank back and disappeared still muttering.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "I should wack that hag once or twice because that was no help."
"Ya think?" Shippo said sarcastically.
"Well, she did mention the mountains so now we know that is definitely where she lives." Sango said reasoning to the irate hanyou.
Kagome clapped. "Then that's that! We're going to the mountains….that none have ever come out of….that's not very comforting is it? Oh well." She led the way marching determinedly to the large mountain.
"She's a little eager to get our thoughts out her head, huh." Shippo whispered to the others who gave one another a look before running into the forest covering the mountains that had swallowed her up.
Kagome sighed as she heard the others catch up. She thought that maybe for a second she could have a she could listen to her own thoughts. even though they were equally scary. They continued to walk when a thought hit Kagome, but not her own thought. 'Let's see, how many carcasses do I have here? 1…3…1000023! A new record! Ooh, the other demons will be soooo jealous!' The voice sounded familiar. Kagome turned to a neck of the woods that was hidden in the trees.
She signaled to the others to follow and led them through the thick trees to a house where a certain little girl was skipping and jumping. Kagome walked up to the house and nodded Inuyasha to capture the girl. He snuck up behind her and grabbed her by the neck.
"What's going on? Let go of me! I have rights you know! I'll sue the pants off of you!" She looked at Kirara. "You don't wear pants do you? Well, I'll sue the fur off you! That's right!" The little girl struggled and yelled some things that would not allow. She looked at Kagome and blinked, "You again, huh?"
Kagome glared at her. "Yes, me again, I want to know how to get rid of that spell you cast on me!"
The little girl looked like she was deep in though before answering. "Sorry, can't help you. I can't remember."
Kagome's vein popped out. "Oh, you'll remember! When I take off this shoe and hit your sorry demon hide you'll remember!" She took off her shoe and meant to hit the girl.
"Ok! God, you don't have to get so touchy, man! Some people have no respect for powerful figures like moi!" She pushed away from Inuyasha. "Just for that, I'm not going to cure you!"
"Ok! That's it, Inuyasha you better hold me back before I pistol whip the little girl!" Kagome growled.
Inuyasha sweatdropped, "Don't you need a pistol for that?"
"Oh yeah…." While she pondered that Shippo poked her side, "can't you read? I'm pondering!"
"But she's getting away." Shippo pointed to the girl who was sneaking off into the woods.
"Get her!" Kagome grabbed the girl and head locked her, "now, you better fix me before I have to get rough with you."
"Aren't you already getting rough with me?"
Kagome scowled, "Hmm, I guess I am. Well, before I get more rough with you! Or is it rougher?"
Miroku piped up happily, "There's a lot of rough housing going on!" Of course Sango hit him for that!
The girl whimpered as Kagome tightened her hold on her. "Okay, I'll tell you! But you have to let me go!"
Kagome thought about this. "………..no."
"Oh, well. Fine I'll tell you. The cure is…" Everyone leaned in close, "milk."
"Milk," Kagome asked, bewildered, (A/N: Big word! Ooh!) "We went to all that trouble and the cure was milk?"
"Well of course! Milk is a substantial part our diet! It fixes everything!" Suddenly the girl sounded like an ad commercial.
"Oh, well, okay! Bye!" Kagome said, dazed, turning to leave. But before she they could she turned back, "By the way, what's your name?"
The girl smiled mischievously. "Well, that's easy! My name's Phoenix!"
All of a sudden everyone shivered and Shippo said, "That sounds strangely familiar."
The girl simply laughed and laughed and laughed as the Inu-group made there way cautiously down the mountain, though they were glad to be rid of the nut.
Back in the home of Phoenix a girl popped out, "Hey, they gone yet?"
"Yup."
"Good, it's time to plan! There end will come! MWAHAHAHA!"
Phoenix shook her head, took out her taser and shocked her. The girl shook herself of before saying, "Oh thanks, I went a little overboard."
Phoenix put her arm around her. "Lets go, my dear cousin! Time to torture anime characters!"
The girl giggled, "Yay! I like torturing!"
"Don't we all," Phoenix sighed wistfully.
Phoenix: Oh, you done? Good, now be quiet we're hiding from the Amal.
Crystal: Aka: Phoenix's sister.
Phoenix: So you can imagine how scary she is.
Amal: Yoo-hoo where are you! (Opens door) There you are!
Crystal: Keep absolutely still, maybe she hasn't noticed us.
Phoenix: (Sweatdrop) Suuure.
Amal: Anyhoo, while I kill these two, you better REVIEW or I'll come after you next!
(Screen blacks out to screaming and the sound of sirens)
Crystal: (Pops out of nowhere) Don't forget! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVIIEEWW!
