Disclaimer: YAY! It's disclaimer time!
InuYasha: These aren't even disclaimers! I don't know what they are…but they sure as hell ain't disclaimers!
Shel: (Glares evilly and flames come out) first, you bring every hot guy on my hot guy list to my disclaimer—
InuYasha: (Cowering) Actually that was Kouga and Miroku's…
Shel: SECOND! You laugh at me until you CRY!
InuYasha: Well, you were stupid so I though it was…
Shel: NOW! You're criticizing me in my disclaimers! I'll kill you!
InuYasha: (hides behind Kagome) Do something!
Kagome: Heh heh heh…don't come crying to me, this is your fault.
InuYasha: Really, thanks for the help, Kagome. Love you too.
Kagome: (smiles sweetly but scary…) I know!
La, Brookke, and Shippo: (hold back shel from trying to hurt him) Think shel, think!
Shel: What's thinking?
InuYasha: Ooh, good question.
Everyone except those two: Idiots…
Shel: okay since SOMEONE thinks that this is not a real disclaimer, here it is! I don't own ANY of these people, BECAUSE:
La: I talk too much.
Brookke: I'm little and scary.
Shippo: Because Brookke owns me.
Kagome: Because…hmm…I think it's because I scare her.
Shel: NO! (scared…………)
InuYasha: She's too busy stalking me to own me.
Yumi: (shrugs) I dunno. She doesn't enjoy me that much.
Miroku: Because La owns me?
La: YES!
Lyric: NO!
La and Lyric: (fight over houshi-sama)
Sango: I own Miroku (La and Lyric hold onto each other afraid) and Shel doesn't own me because…uh…well because…hmm…
Kirara: Meow
Shel: RIGHT! Those reasons and more! (Kagome just scares me…she looks innocent but nooo…scary!) Sango, I don't own you because you would kill me.
Sango: Oh yeah!
InuYasha: What? And I wouldn't?
Shel: No.
InuYasha: ……………oh….damn it.…
Shel: RIGHT! Now, on with the story! (Disclaimer ends!)
Kikyou walked slowly out of the bushes to find Kagome asleep, her arms wrapped around her to keep her from being cold. "Idiot girl. She'll freeze to death." Kikyou thought about this and actually like the image of Kagome dead and frozen. "I'll let you die here. It would be a shame to kill you now and miss a wonderful opportunity later." As the snow started to fall more rapidly and she left seeking shelter herself.
Kagome's scent drawing nearer and nearer once again stopped InuYasha. Shippo stopped walking as well to sniff the air. "Kagome is around here, InuYasha. We should go get her before she freezes!"
InuYasha shook his head. "No, Kagome said she wanted to handle this on her own." He lied again.
Miroku eyed him suspiciously. "Yeah right. You still can't face her, can you? You must have really messed things up for you two to be so upset with each other."
"I have no problem. It's Kagome who doesn't want to be bothered!" InuYasha growled at them. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all sighed but didn't say anymore since InuYasha obviously wasn't going to say anything else. To keep InuYasha from losing his temper again, Shippo lightly tugged on Miroku's sleeve and whispered to him. "WE have to find Kagome, Miroku! She'll freeze to death in this weather. Plus, Yumi's scent can't even be picked up anymore."
"You know that, and I know that. But InuYasha, who knows what's going through his head right now. So let's just keep quiet and when I can pick up Kagome's aura, then we'll find her." Miroku quietly whispered back. Shippo nodded and jumped back down on the ground to walk by himself.
"Miroku…" Sango said after what felt to her hours since she had actually said something. "What would you do if I told you I hated you?"
Miroku looked back at Sango, meeting her eyes with an all-serious look in his. "I wouldn't have to do anything. You may smack me around a little—okay, more than a little—but, you would never say that and mean it."
Sango smiled at him. "Aww that's sweet Miroku! And I—." But before she could say anything more, she felt that darned hand rubbing her butt and she whipped around to smack him. InuYasha and Shippo stopped to turn around to see Miroku with a red hand mark on his cheek and his hand twitching and Sango had her arms crossed, looking satisfied. Shippo shook his head and InuYasha just laughed. "Hey, nice handprint monk. That one had good contact."
"I agree!" Shippo piped up seeing InuYasha was in a slightly better mood. But the moment was gone as quickly as it had come, and InuYasha turned back around to continue in the same direction with Shippo behind him.
Yumi felt awfully close to tears but she refused to cry now that she was no longer alone in this world…those words still rang in her head, the same words that Kikyou had said at least three times. But as they played over and over in her mind, they made more and more sense. Kami made a small cooing sound and she petted its head lightly and focused on her goal; to rid of Kagome, just as Kikyou had explained.
She was with Naraku, and she could smell him on her clothing. But why hadn't she realized that before? Naraku's scent had been all over Kagome and InuYasha. The rest of them had a fainter scent but those two were practically drenched in it! "What do those three have against me?" She asked herself but Kami made a small whimpering sound. "Naraku, Kagome, InuYasha…I don't get it. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe…I don't know. But this has become a habit now. I can't stop thinking that Kagome—the person I called mother—is trying to plot against me." Yumi looked around the area, the snow was falling more rapidly now and it was beginning to get colder and she shivered. "I wonder; what do I do? Now this is a habit, I can't stop thinking about it! This is so frustrating. I need to go to the source. I must find Naraku myself."
Memories concern
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safer in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
