The bright sun spread it's beautiful, and rather blistering, golden rays over the dry earth…and a certain company in whose adventures we shall now observe…

Kagome trudged along beside Sango, glaring at the nervous back of the hapless leprechaun before her. Barnaby shook with every step, feeling the 'mad woman's' eyes follow his every move…

"Where are we right now?" asked Miroku tiredly, even he was losing patience… after all, when one recovers from trauma, one does not usually have much tolerance left…it's all used up in the hyperventilating, nightmares, and spasmodic outbursts of insanity.

"er…" Barnaby looked at the map, and stabbed his finger at a location, "almost there…."

3 hours later…

"I thought you said we were almost there!" shrieked Kagome

Barnaby winced… "We are almost there"

"…."

Everyone walked past, the now normal, sight of Kagome beating the stupid leprechaun to a pulp. They simply sighed and kept walking…except Shippo, who thought it was fascinating, and decided to observe so that he might learn these methods of violence and use it on Inuyasha…when he was older of course…he loved his beautiful red/gold furry hide too much to risk it now…he shuddered at the mental picture of his poor, beautiful fluffy pom-pom like tail sticking out from the wall of Kaede's hut, framed like a trophy for all to gaze upon and admire…ok, Shippo admitted to himself that having people admire his tail was a GOOD thing…but not from a wall!…especially since Inuyasha would laugh at him, and probably pull it a lot…then he'd have no fur left! He clutched his tail to himself and whimpered at the thought of his fluffy and golden tail, rat-like and hairless…he imagined himself hugging that to himself for comfort… he shuddered…nope, he'd definitely wait to physically torment Inuyasha until he reached at least 50 years old…he decided that would be enough time to grow stronger.

Later when Barnaby had sufficiently recovered from his brutal beating. They were walking again, this time, they really were almost there…seeing as how Miroku was now holding the map.

'Who knew how much pressure it was to lead a group.' Thought Miroku, he could just feel the girls' eyes boring into the back of his head…he wiped his palm nervously on his leg and kept walking. No wonder Barnaby was so jumpy!

"Are we there yet?" asked Shippo, bored from his position on Kagome's shoulder.

"No"

"Are we there yet?"

"No"

"Are we there yet?"

"…No!"

"Ok…"

Miroku let out a breathe of relief…then groaned…

"Are we there yet?"

"…… NO!"

15 min. later

"Are we there yet?"

Miroku was beginning to twitch

"Are we there yet?" Shippo found this a great pastime to relieve his boredom…he wondered how long it would take for the monk to crack. Right now the Houshi was at 15minutes and 12 seconds.

"Are we there yet?"

"…."There was a pause…then "Yes…"

Shippo fell over as Kagome jumped up and asked, "really?"

"Yup…That's Kangaroo peak" Miroku said, pointing at a small plateau.

"How'd you know?" asked Shippo curiously.

Miroku pointed at a sign.

"…oh…"

Kagome plopped down, happy to rest in the shade of the huge gigantic rock.

"Ouch" she winced as she sat on her foot, as she collapsed backwards, "my foot's killing me"

"Really?!" asked Barnaby, he leaned over to peer at her foot. (Of course we all know that by now that Barnaby's a stupid git, that the author loves to pick upon right?) Unaware of Kagome's scowl…that is, until he found himself flying.

"Who's going to collect the toe?" asked Sango, "Kagome and I are too tired, Barnaby's off flying somewhere, Shippo's too little…so that leaves…"

Miroku grinned, "Of course I'll do it!" He loomed evilly over them, smacking a machete into the palm of his hand rhythmically.

"Intimidate the Kangaroo! Not us Baka!"

"oops…Sorry"

A/N So, sorry for not updating...you won't kill me right? After all, I do have 1/2 of Chapt. 11 already finished... ::peers out into crowd:: Hello? Is any of myreviewers still there?

Reviewer Responses:

Inuyasha's Daily: Ok, Miroku is afraid of squirrels due to theevents in chapter 4. reread that to answer your question.

GCN-anime-dragon: This fic's humor is rather pointless, and more like random humorous mental pictures that come to my poor insane author's mind. I think it's ok thatthe fic remains G ratedb/c whoever has seen IY must have seenMiroku gropping, so it's nothing new to viewers.
