DemonGirl-Setsuna: Hi there! Setsuna here! Just to inform my readers, I only have computer access during weekdays, I have no access on weekends, so I can only update Monday through Friday, and last Friday I couldn't update cause of a half-day of class.
Well here is chapter 10!
Please Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or anything belonging to Rumiko Takahashi.

Ch. 10
A New Companion
Joins the Group
-----------------------
"InuYasha are you alright?", Kagome asks, kneeling beside him.
(Yeah, I'm fine), he yawns, (I'm just a little tired; I used up a lot of energy trying not to scream).
"That's ok, I'll let you rest till noon", she says, putting the collar back on him.
(Thank you, Kagome), he thinks, before passing out.
------------------------------------
Almost Noon…
InuYasha slowly opens his eyes and sits up, he looks around and notices beef stew cooking in a pot over a fire.
(Where is Kagome?), he thinks, then hears splashing from the river, (Over there!), he stands up, his haori slides off his back, (Huh? She put her kimono back on, and gave me, my haori back. I'll have to tell her to put it back on), he laughs in his head, and heads towards then river.
-------------------------------------------
At the River…
Kagome sits on a rock, a towel wrapped around her body as she finger-combs her wet hair.
InuYasha sits down a short distance from her and stares at her, (Perfect body frame, only if I could hold her), he thinks, suppressing a whimper.
"You think my body frame is perfect?", Kagome says, turning to face him, the necklace Himiko gave her hanging from her neck.
(A/N: Busted!)
(Crap, she heard me!), he curses, (Yes, I do), he replies, blushing underneath the fur.
"I'm glad you think so. Well let's head back, lunch should be done", she says, rubbing the base of his ears and standing up, she walks back to the camp with InuYasha in tow.
-----------------------------------------
Back at the Camp…
Kagome puts her kimono on.
(Kagome, I want you to wear this too), InuYasha says, carrying his haori in his mouth as he walks towards her, (Please, for me).
"But InuYasha, why?", she asks taking it from him.
(For your protection), he replies.
(Thank you", she says, putting it on over her kimono, "Well, let's eat", she scopes some beef stew into a dish, and places it in front of InuYasha.
InuYasha was about to start eating, when a scent enters his nose.
"InuYasha, what is it?", Kagome asks.
(I smell a fox demon), he answers.
"Maybe it's Shippo".
(It isn't him, but the scent is similar to his), he retorts, then bolts through the bushes.
InuYasha runs to a large peach tree, and sitting on the lowest branch; twice as high as him, is a small female fox demon eating a peach.
(A/N: I mean the branch is twice as high as InuYasha, not the fox!)
"Oh, a dog for me to play with", she says, throwing the peach pit at him, almost hitting him in the head, "It's a good thing you can't jump up and reach me", she adds, throwing a whole peach and hits him in the head.
(Cocky, fox cub), he growls, jumping up and knocking her off the branch, and pins her to the ground.
"You're not a normal dog", she squeaks.
"InuYasha, sit", Kagome says.
InuYasha backs up and plants his butt on the ground, (Will you stop doing that!), he growls.
"Are you ok, little girl?", Kagome asks, helping the fox cub to her feet.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little dirty", she says, dusting of her light green kimono, then she fixes the ponytail in her light reddish-brown hair, her blue eyes twinkling in the sunlight, "My name's Midori".
"Mines Kagome, and his is InuYasha", Kagome replies.
(She looks like a female version of Shippo), InuYasha scoffs.
"You're right InuYasha, she does look like Shippo", she says.
"Do you know Shippo!", Midori exclaims.
"Yes, we do".
"Well, where is he?", the young fox asks.
"He went to go visit his uncle and cousin; Sayaka. How do you know him?", Kagome answers.
"I'm his cousin from his mother's side", Midori says.
"You should travel with us, until he returns", Kagome offers, "Is that ok, InuYasha?"
(Fine with me, so long as she stops throwing things at me), he replies.
"Midori, do you promise not to throw anything at InuYasha?", Kagome asks.
"I promise not to throw anything, but I can't promise that I won't use my fox magic on him", Midori answers.
(Should have guessed), InuYasha rolls his eyes.
"Well, let's go back to the camp and eat", Kagome walks back through the bushes, InuYasha follows, and Midori jumps onto his back and rides him to the campsite.
(You're lucky kid, that I'm sort of in a good mood), he suppresses a growl.
