"So how about it? Deal?" Kamia asked Sesshoumaru back at Kaede's hut. Sesshoumaru was sitting in the corner looking back at Kamia who was smiling slightly at him over her cup of tea. Rin and Shippo were playing with the other village children with Jaken, Miroku, Sango and Kirara watching over them. Inuyasha and Kagome were listening to Kamia.
"Let me get this straight," Inuyasha interrupted. "You want him to join usand maybe that toad and girl of his to help us collect the jewel shards?" Kamia nodded affirmative. "And then, you want to use the Shikon no Tama to become a dog youkai. In return for his help you'll take the necklace off willingly, so long as he promises not to kill any of us, as soon as you've changed?"
"Correct," Kamia said. "And you Inuyasha must agree not to kill him. If either of you try to harm the other out of any reason other than in self-defense then we say the word. Got it?"
"No way!"
"I don't see anything wrong with that," Kagome disagreed. "After all, Inuyasha's decided not to turn into a full youkai or a full human. And Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Myouga, Kaede, Kirara and I don't have any use for it. Besides, you two are family. Half-brothers true, but still family. You shouldn't be fighting each other."
"No not that," Inuyasha said. "I just can't seeing his stupid feminine face every day." Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at him.
"You should be more careful brother," he drawled. Inuyasha jumped up.
"Now listen" Kagome sat him. He pushed himself off the ground a few seconds later.
"What was that for!" he roared at her. "I don't see Kamia sitting Sesshoumaru all the time!"
"That's because he isn't attacking you or doing anything that might earn him punishment," Kamia explained. "Besides I promised I wouldn't say it unless there was a good reason or I just plain forget. Warning and taunting you isn't a good reason. And we just made a deal remember?" Her tone said that it should be the most obvious thing in the world. Inuyasha sat down in a huff. Kamia turned back to Sesshoumaru. "Well?"
"It seems I have no choice," Sesshoumaru said. "Very well. I accept."
"Good!" Kamia grinned. "I was about to threaten you with some more words." Her fear of Sesshoumaru had completely vanished, now that she had the advantage. Sesshoumaru nearly scowled at her, but kept his face emotionless. "Now, will Rin and Jaken come with us?"
"It doesn't matter," Sesshoumaru answered. Kamia spoke to Kagome.
"In that case, let's bring them with us. Rin could use some other company." Kagome agreed. When told, the others agreed too. Rin and Shippo were happy they could stay together as well. Kirara had taken a liking the young girl. Jaken just nodded and agreed, sighing. Not that he had much choice.
