Chapter Two

Because Kagome wants the girls to stay with them and Kouga, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku had no objections, the girls are invited back to the house they stayed in with Kaede. It is just as they reach the front door that Sango notices the necklace that is hanging around Hiei's neck. She comments on it, causing Hiei to send a death glare to the Destinies. They smile innocently at him before telling Sango that it does the same thing that the one around Inuyasha's neck does.

"Oh, wow," Kagome stares at it, keeping her distance from the growling Hiei.

"You can pet him," Olivia giggles. "He doesn't bite."

"Yes he does," Nissi indicates Olivia's lip, earning a whack on the head.

They are interrupted as Kaede appears in the doorway, smiling at the girls. "And who might you be?"

The boys whap their hands over their charges mouths before they can start another round of "the destiny scouts!" again. But upon releasing their mouths the four take a deep breath and shout, "THE DESTINY SCOUTS!" while jumping up and down on the ground.

"Meagan."

"Nissi."

"Vanessa."

"Olivia."

They stop jumping and high-five each other, staring back at Kaede. She is a bit surprised at their enthusiasm, and invites them in for tea. They grimace.

"We'll pass on the tea, please."

"And who are your friends?"

"Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke, and It," Vanessa points. "It is also known as Kuwabara. Or oaf."

"Hey!"

Kurama takes a seat on the ground, folding his legs underneath him and taking the tea that Kaede offers him. It is perfect, just the way he likes it. Kaede regards him warily, "I sense that you and the small one are demons."

"Yes," Kurama nods, taking a sip of tea. "Also Olivia and Nissi."

"Ha! Those two? Demons? Look at them? They're puny! They can't be demons."

"It's true, Inuyasha," Kagome pats his head. "Even I can sense it."

"Whatever, I'm leaving."

Vanessa follows Inuyasha outside, her friends scrambling after her leaving the boys to talk with Kaede and the others. Inuyasha, sensing that someone is behind him, stops and turns around. He sweat drops as he sees all of the Destinies smiling faces looking up at him. Vanessa grabs his hand and inspects his claws carefully. Then she smiles wider.

"I like your claws."

"Hmph. Thanks."

"But mine are better."

A vein throbs in Inuyasha's temple. "What did you say? You don't even have claws."

Shink. Inuyasha's eyes widen in surprise as Vanessa's regular nails extend to the size of about two feet. They are silver and are probably very powerful. He gulps, staring into her smirking face. Olivia enters Inuyasha's mind and listens as he struggles with something good to say. He cannot think of anything for about two minutes, so Olivia puts a thought in his head for him. He blanks for a moment, staring off into space as if he doesn't know where that thought just came from. Which he doesn't. But it's good, so he's going to use it.

"Oh yeah? Well, look at my sword?" Inuyasha pulls it from its sheath, transforming it.

"Oh yeah? Well look at this."

Inuyasha's eyes widen even futher as he stares at a perfect copy of himself. Tetsaiga and all. What the hell is this? His head cannot take the thought of another him, so he merely stands there gaping like an idiot until Vanessa morphs into a bird and shoots off into the sky. "Look, look! Now I'm a bird!" Inuyasha blinks, his respect growing for Vanessa. She's even better at confusing me than Kagome is. And Kagome's like...the champ. Or was, at least. Inuyasha grasps Vanessa in his fist as she flies by his head for the second time.

"That's still nothing," he murmurs.

"You really think so? Then look at this," she scoffs, pulling out her bat.

Inuyasha stares at it dumbly. "It's just a bat. What harm can it do?"

"Come closer," Vanessa beckons. "Closer...closer..."

WHACK! The bat connects with the back of Inuyasha's head, sending him flying twenty feet into the distance. Vanessa, smirking and laughing triumphantly, holds out her hand to catch the shiny white thing that is falling from the sky. Inuyasha's tooth. "Haha!" The earth rumbles as Inuyasha comes running back towards the Destinies, who hide behind a tree. Sadly Vanessa decides to push someone out to distract Inuyasha while she escapes and that person happens to be Olivia.

"Oof," she says as she hits the ground with a light 'thud.'

Inuyasha sees her and comes running instantly forward. Yelling to Vanessa that she would get her later, Olivia runs about the area until both Hiei and Kouga come out at her screams. As Hiei sees Inuyasha running around chasing his girlfriend the grip on his katana increases, as he runs after them...but Kouga beats him, whacking Inuyasha to the ground. Hiei fumes as he pulls out his katana, preparing to slash both Kouga and Inuyasha into tiny little bits. But Kurama's voice scolds him, and he lowers his katana.

"Thank you!" Olivia rushes to Kouga's side. "You saved me."

Kouga wraps her in a hug, sending Hiei back into a rage. Kurama dragged him back into the house just as Olivia ran over to Inuyasha, tugging on his robe and complaining to him.

"Inuyasha, you're so mean!" she wails. "Vanessa went over that way, just so you know."

"VANESSA, DAMN YOU!" Inuyasha runs off in that direction.

Olivia jumps back as Kuwabara rushes past her in an attempt to rescue his darling Vanessa. Kouga laughs, grabbing Olivia and dancing around. Hiei growls as Kouga holds the door open for Olivia to come in. Olivia prances over to Hiei and runs her hands once through his spiky hair, looking at him with concern.

"Ne, Hiei--what's wrong?"

"Nothing," he growls, looking over at Kouga.

Olivia instantly picks it up. Uh-oh... She rolls her eyes at Hiei's stupidity. So that's what the boys are bothered about. Oh well. Announcing to the others that she is going to find Vanessa and beat her up, Olivia exits. Hiei follows swiftly behind her. Kouga smirks. Olivia finds Vanessa dodging behind several trees in an attempt to lose Inuyasha. Olivia whistles and Inuyasha's ears perk up instantly as she points behind a very large tree. She gasps as she realizes what it is.

It is the tree. The tree that Inuyasha was pinned to for fifty years. Curiously she climbs around it, trying to reach the part where he was suspened, but she is too short. "I wonder..." Poof. Her cloud is materialized and she is floating in the air, happy that she has retained her powers. Hiei jumps to one of the higher branches and just sits there, loving the familiar feel of sitting in a tree. He doesn't get many chances to sit in a tree anymore; mostly for the fear of the Destinies trying to burn him out of it. :shiver, shiver:

"Meagan!"

Olivia looks down to see Nissi running around the forest looking for her friend. She is dirty, as if someone had pushed her into a mud puddle--which is exactly what Meagan did. Olivia hears Meagan's thoughts and sets about to find her. Turns out, Meagan is swimming under water, coming up only for a breath every once in a while. Training with Yusuke has greatly improved her ability to hold her breath. Olivia sits at the edge of the little pond and waits...and waits...and waits... Eventually she gets tired and throws a rock right in front of Meagan's face.

"Eep!" she gasps, coming up.

"MEAGAN! I FOUND YOU!"

"Oh no!"

Teleporting out of the water and back onto dry land Meagan takes off, Nissi right behind her. Olivia still sits motionless at the edge of the pond, happy she could have been of assistance.

Later That Night

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire!" the Destinies sing.

"More like smores," Kagome laughs as she pulls her marshmallow away from the roaring fire Vanessa had created for them.

"Hey...what's that in the distance?" Shippo says, sitting on Nissi's shoulder.

"...Sesshomaru..." Inuyasha grumbles.

"Oh don't be so mean," Kagome scolds him.

"Sesshomaru? You mean you two aren't fighting anymore?" Meagan asks, biting into her smore.

"Nah. We gave that up a while back," Inuyasha admits. /a.n.--I don't care if that never happens in the anime but it's happening here. / "Hey, Sesshomaru. Wanna smore?"

"No."

The Destinies stare at Sesshomaru, one word coming to mind. They keep it at bay for as long as they can, eating their smores--or in Nissi's and Olivia's cases: ghram crackers and marshmallows and just ghram crackers--until they bid everyone goodnight and prepare to enter the spare room that they are going to share with Kagome and Sango. And as they file into the room, they just have to say it. They run back out, grab Sesshomaru's fluffy thing and say,

"Goodnight Fluffy-sama!"

He twitches as run off, Meagan giving his fluffy thing one last time before running off as well. His eyes run over them all, lingering on Meagan. Yusuke notices this and turns a shade of red. Kuwabara just punches his shoulder, saying that he is going to sleep also. One by one, all the boys retire, falling into deep sleep as their first day here ends. Little do they know, as the Destinies are drifting off to sleep also, that the other boys are moving much closer to the girls than they should...

Bleah, I feel sick. T.T And so I shall have to cut the chapter a bit short. But that's okay. So, what did you think? I'm not bothering with props until the end, just so I can keep them all together and if Vanessa adds anything...yuh.../sighs/
