Up at the camp everyone was eating their ramen and talking about the next day.
"We haven't gotten any wind of Naraku. We lost our only lead when we let Kohaku escape." Miroku confessed.
"Yeah. We need to find some sort of clue to where Naraku's castle is. The barrier around it is strong." Sango commented.
"Don't worry. Weather we want it or not Naraku will find us. He always does." Inuyasha said as finished his ramen.
Kagome sat quietly without saying anything.
"Kagome? Are you all right?" Inuyasha asked concerned.
Kagome snapped to attention.
"Oh, yeah I fine. Just sleepy." She lied. Kagome felt uneasy. Like something was going to happen. It was poking at her mind. She couldn't dismiss it.
"Are you sure? You look pale." Sango added.
"I'm fine. A good nights sleep and I'll be bouncing off the walls!"
Kagome said.
Soon everyone was asleep. Shippo lay soundly next to Kagome in her sleeping bag. Sango sleeping on Kiara and Miroku leaned his back against a tree for support as he slept. Inuyasha took a perch on the top branch of the tallest tree in the grove near their camp.
The Autobots were silent through the night. Busy with personal thoughts.
The sun rose and with it a new day.
(Naraku's castle)
The lord of the castle stood in his room his back exposed. A scare shaped like a spider marked him as the demon, Naraku. Known and despised by many demons and humans alike.
In his hand was a sword and he saw his reflection in the blade and he brought it down upon himself. A pound of flesh dropped to the ground. Naraku's wound where he had cut himself instantly healed as if it were nothing.
"Hm. You should be more than I need to handle this mission." Naraku's cold voice said smoothly to the clump of his flesh on the floor. The form of the flesh began to morph and mutate. It grew into a human like shape than exterior features began to appear: feet, toes, legs, crotch, belly button, chest, neck, and finally a face. His head was covered in gray hair and his face was that of a child, a child of 12 or younger. His eyes were dazed and clouded.
Naraku replaced his clothes to where they belonged and held his hand out to his new child.
"Take this shard of the sacred jewel. Use it to detract Inuyasha." Naraku ordered the incarnation. "Hakudoushi will take care of the rest."
From the shadows stepped another of Naraku's incarnations, Hakudoushi. His hair was white as well as his clothes. Similar to the Shinto Priest's kimono except Hakudoushi's was white. His pale skin made his purple eyes stand out.
"Welcome my brother. What is your name?" Hakudoushi asked coolly.
The child didn't answer.
"Answer your brother, my child." Naraku said slyly.
The child looked at Naraku and nodded.
The child's right arm shape shifted into a sword like appendage and he charged Hakudoushi in one fluent move. The child swiped vigorously at Hakudoushi, but only succeeding in cutting the front of his kimono.
"Katanaude." The boy said coldly.
"Hm. Interesting." Hakudoushi commented. "I hope you can do more than ruining clothes. Inuyasha may be an idiot but he's an idiot with a sword and he knows how to use it. And I seen that Inuyasha has some new companions traveling with him as well."
Naraku looked surprised at this.
"Who?" He asked his son out right.
"Four metal giant. I have seen in Kanna's mirror they are able to change their shapes into horseless carriages." Hakudoushi said amused that his father didn't know of them.
"Mm. Go retrieve Kanna. I would like to see these metal men. I may be able to use them." Naraku said slyly.
(Inuyasha's group)
Inuyasha was helping Kagome put her sleeping bag back into her yellow backpack.
Sango and Miroku were talking casually with the Autobots again.
Kagome had just put on her backpack when she sensed it. A shard of the jewel of four souls, no two shards. It was close and coming at them fast. Kagome knew instantly who it was. The wind picked up and a tornado came hurdling through the forest straight at them.
"Everyone get down!" Optimus ordered over the roar of the wind.
The Autobots huddled over Miroku and Sango, shielding them from the wind.
"Dammit!" Inuyasha cursed.
Kagome held her arms to shield her eyes from the dust the wind had picked up. When she opened the again a young man in wolf skin was standing next to her smiling.
"Hello Kagome. I picked up your sent and decided to see how you're doing." Kouga, the leader of the demon wolf tribe, said casually.
"Kagome!" Optimus called out to the girl worried the demon was trying to hurt her.
"Who are these jokers?" Kouga asked as he examined the four metal giants.
"Oh! Kouga, these are the Autobots. They're helping us find the shikon shards." Kagome said.
Kouga looked the Autobots over doubtfully.
"Speaking of Shikon shards. Why don't you hand over the ones in your legs, Kouga?" Inuyasha said as he got up from where the wind had blow him away, Tetseiga drawn.
"Put that stick away puppy." The young demon told the half-breed. "You've tried, and failed, to take my shards. So just drop it."
"Why don't your drop the shard?" Inuyasha swung his sword at the wolf and missed. The wolf jumped high into the air and landed and the blade.
"What the-" Inuyasha said surprised. Kouga ran across the blade and punched Inuyasha right in the face. The young dog demon went down.
"Kouga! Inuyasha! Stop it!" Kagome ordered.
"Who is this guy?" Ironhide asked. "He and Inuyasha look and act a lot alike."
"DON'T EVER COMPARE ME TO THAT ASS!!!" Inuyasha and Kouga scowled than looked at each other after realizing they said the same thing.
"Guys! Please stop it!" Kagome begged as she stepped between the two.
"Why are you even here?" Inuyasha asked.
Kouga snorted.
"I'm here to make sure my kagome is being taken care of." Koga spouted.
Everyone was silent.
"Your Kagome?" The autobots asked.
Inuyasha was bright red with anger.
Kouga turned from the dog and took Kagome's hands in his.
"Yes. I have claimed Kagome as my mate! One day we will be together without that annoying puppy around ruining our love." Kouga confessed.
Kagome was glowing red.
The Autobots looked at the wolf.
"I thought Inuyasha and Kagome were a couple?" Prowl asked.
Kagome and Inuyasha turned neon red. Their faces were as bright as possible without their faces exploding.
"Inuyasha isn't good enough for Kagome!" Kouga roared at the Autobot. "Besides, what would a metal head like you know about true love?"
Prowl was about to say something but thought better of it.
"I know true love when I see it. Carly and Spike are in love. You and Kagome aren't!" Bumble announced.
"SHUT UP!" Kouga roared as he released Kagome and charged the little Autobot.
Kouga struck Bumblebee in the chest with a swift kick that sent him flying a good 20 feet.
"Hey leave Bumblebee alone Kouga!" Prowl, Ironhide, and Optimus ran over to their fallen comrade.
"Kouga please! Stop!" Kagome pleaded she ran over to him and came face to face with him.
"Fine Kagome. But I'll be back soon to check up on you." With that Kouga gave Kagome a swift kiss on the cheek and left in speed.
Miroku, Sango, and Shippo who had watched quietly from the bottom of the hill looked a bit shocked.
"He actually kissed Kagome." Sango stated.
"Did you see what he did to Bumblebee?" Miroku said astonished.
"Inuyasha must be steaming!" Shippo said slyly.
Inuysha stood on the top of the hill dumbfounded.
"He..Just..." Inuyasha ran down the hill. "YOU ASS! GET BACK HERE! NO ONE KISSES KAGOME AND LIVES!!!!!!!!!!"
"Site boy." Inuyasha went face down just as he passed the Autobots.
Optimus helped Bumblebee up.
"Geese! That guy is powerful!" Bumblebee said rubbing the place where Kouga kicked him.
"Yes. Inuyasha and Kouga are very protective over Lady Kagome. We should have warned you." Miroku added as he jogged up to them with the other behind him.
"Are you OK, Bumblebee?" Kagome said as she walked over to him.
The bot nodded.
"It was my own fault for saying it." He admitted.
Kagome gave him a smile.
