Evil snickers are heard from the background.

Maritza: "I'm baaaaAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAaack..."

Stacy: "Oh my God!" XX "And I thought I was free? Why? WHY DO I HAVE TO SPEND TIME WORKING FOR A CRAZY LITTLE GIRL LIKE YOU? YOU SPOILED BRAT!"

Stephen: "Amen."

Maritza: "Ahaha, I know you love me, Stacy. And you... Stephen! What are you doing here?" (happy clingies)

Stephen: "Alas, I am merely here to do the disclaimer."

Maritza: "Well, then, get on with it! I don't have all day to conquer up a quick chapter, you know!"

Stephen: (Ahem) "Yes, well... Mari-chan would like you to know that she, much to her dismay, does not own InuYasha."

Maritza: "...And that I changed my name due to it being scientifically incorrect!"

Stephen: "What she said."

Maritza: "I'm sad to say hardly anyone was nice enough to review my last chapter..."

Stacy: "That's because you take so long to update."

Maritza: "Shut up! Anyway, I'd like to thank kagomente, Ray, bakurasangelash, and sesshomarufan17 for commenting on the most boring chapter yet!" ;-; "I love you guys!"

Stacy: "Yeah, yeah, continuing on..."

The Wind Tunnel Daughter: Chapter 11

xxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Food! About time, already!" Mikuro grabbing a bowl of soup that Kagome had managed to cook up on short notice and devoured them at amazing speed for a young girl such as herself.

"Give me a napkin!" she demanded soon after she gulped down the remains.

"What do you say?" Kouga prodded.

Mikuro eyed him, her gaze sharp. "Alas, 'father', excuse my lack of manners. What I really meant to say was- Give me a napkin, now."

Kouga rolled his eyes as Kagome handed over some of her napkins for Mikuro to use. She couldn't help but notice that Miroku looked a little down when his daughter had called Kouga 'father', despite the sarcasm used in her voice. Sango patted him on the shoulder, while taking the bowl that was handed to her and passing it down.

Mikuro squealed happily as Kirara pranced over to her and sniffed her hands in search for any leftover broth. "Sorry, Rara, none here." she apologized sheepishly.

"So, Mikuro." Senshi spoke up for the first time since they got back, glaring at the child from where she was sitting. "How did you get those scrapes on your hands?"

Mikuro looked questionably confused, looking down at her hands, and back to the annoyed Wolf Princess. "Gee, Sensheez, I dunno."

Senshi twitched at the nickname, which wouldn't have been noticable if Mikuro hadn't dragged out the 'sheez' part, putting emphasis on the 'z' sound.

The others knew, but Mikuro didn't even notice their sharp looks towards Senshi, as if to say, 'What exactly are you looking for?'

"So... uh... Senshi..." Kouga began, eyeing InuYasha, who had been glaring at the unrecognizable face of the companion for some time now. "This is the Inu-mutt you were looking for."

"So it is." Senshi accepted her soup and began eating it more... elegantly than Mikuro had done. "He looks no different from when I saw him last."

"We've met?" InuYasha asked, his ears perking up a little to hear the whispers going between Kagome and Sango.

"Yes, of course, but I doubt you'd remember me... time has flown, but your appearance has not altered a bit, unlike I, who went through drastic changes a few y- WOAH." Senshi was cut off as Mikuro bounded into her lap, grabbing her by the shoulders and jumping up and down.

"Senshi, you and I should throw a karaoke party tonight!" she suggested excitedly.

"Where in Sengoku Jidai did you find a karaoke machine?" Kagome asked, stunned.

"Oh, well, Mari thinks we need some spiffy new technology, so she invented electricity for this era!" Mikuro responded, looking at Kagome.

"Mari invented elecricity...?" Kagome asked. She looked up to the sky, as if to shout to the authoress. "YOU'RE THROWING OFF HISTORY, WOMAN!"

A voice answered back. "Oh, don't get your knickers in a twist! It's just a simple fanfic, so why should you care as long as you're going to end up with Mini-Fluffy there in the end?"

InuYasha twitched.

"I am?" Kagome asked, skeptical.

"...Whether you do or not is not the point! The point is here and NOW, and you're ruining the story! Back to the karaoke planning!"

The voice dissapeared and was replaced by the howls of the wind.

"Sooooooo... anyway... Should we?" Mikuro asked, completley unfazed by the mysterious voice arguing with the female lead of the original story.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Can I finish my dramatic end and break the news to the so-called 'Mini-Fluffy'?" Senshi asked, annoyed once again.

"Ah, whatever. It doesn't matter, he isn't worthy of existence anyway!" Mikuro turned to glare evily at the suddenly curious pup. "YOU SNOT!" she hissed at him, leaping out of Senshi's lap and hiding next to Kouga, who's tail patted her on the head rather limply.

"I daresay that was a scheme just to hurry the chapter along." Miroku stated.

"Anyway, as I was saying..." Senshi finished, coughing into her fist, regaining her grace and dignity. She looked deep into InuYasha's eyes with a smile. "Nice to see you again, brother."

Maritza: "None of your toilet crap!" .

Stacy: "..."

Maritza: "Anyways, Inu knows now... please review!"
