Who likes whom?

Courtney's POV

We were playing Marco Polo; I was never really good at that game but whatever.

"Marco…" Karina shouted.

"Polo" Everyone said, except me, I was too busy looking at Rai, heehee.

"Oh….POLO!" I shouted. Dam that gave me away. Karina started to swim towards me; I swam away but ran into Rai by accident.

"Sorry…." I said then I felt a hand on my back.

"I GOT SOMEONE!" Karina shouted. She opened her eyes.

"Courtney you're it!" She said.

"Dam…." I replied. Okay well what could be more fun then walking around in that water with your eyes closed!

"Marco…" I called.

"Polo" Everyone answered. I walked towards the voices. I heard a splash and someone swimming.

"Marco" I called again.

"Polo" Everyone answered, but I heard the closest voice and swam to it as fast as I could. I touched someone! This person had something fuzzy on them; it was so soft so I started to rub it. I didn't think to open my eyes; I just kept rubbing the fuzzy things. Then I heard some purring. I smiled and opened my eyes, and saw that I was rubbing Rai's ears.

"Rai's it!" I said trying not to blush. I let go of his ears and he stopped purring, he gave me a sad look.

"Why did you stop that felt good!" Rai said.

"Well if you want I'll rub your ears later…." I said with a wink, Rai smiled.

"CAN WE GET BACK TO THE GAME PLEASE! QUIT YOUR FLIRTING!" Karina and Taigo said together, they looked at each other and smiled.

"Yea and we thought Miroku was a flirt…" Inuyasha mumbled.

"Yea!" Sango second.

"Come on, its not like flirting with someone you like is a problem" Kagome said glancing at Inuyasha. Inuyasha's eyes met Kagome's and he blushed, Kagome giggled. Karina rolled her eyes, and Taigo laughed at her, Karina lightly punched him in the arm.

"OUCH….THAT HURT SOOOOO MUCH!" Taigo said trying to be dramatic. Karina splashed him.

Karina's POV

A/N Court I told you to call Chap four Rock paper scissors! I'll fix it tomorrow:P! Can you just imagine Inuyasha going to actually open up and talk to someone?...NO!

"Oh please get a life!" I told Taigo.

"Ah sorry Kari but I already have one."

"Oh sure..."I said. Insert awkward moment of silence.

"So...who's it?" Sango asked.

"Rai's it!" We all said at the same time. This is fun!

"Fine Marco?"

"Polo."

"Marco."

"Polo." He'll never catch me! Its impossible to catch me! Mwuhahahahahahaha. Rai swam towards Taigo and punched him.

"Hey not fair you cheated Rai!" He yelled at Rai.

"Oh is wolf boy jealous?" Inuyasha asked sarcastically.

"Shove it dog turd." Great here we go again.

"Taigo, why don't you just go and start the game? I'm sure we're all anxious to begin. Right guys?" Miroku asked.

"Right!" We all said together.

"Marco."

"Polo."

"Marco."

"Polo.

"M..Ha! I got something with long hair and dog-ears! Mutt face you're it!" Taigo said proudly.

"That's not fair! You used your nose to sniff me out!" Inuyasha complained.

"I did not."

"You did so."

"Did not."

"Did so."

"Did not!"

"Did so!"

"Not again." I sighed.

"Grown ups are dumb." Shippo said.

"Agreed." Courtney and I said.

"What should we do about these two stubborn puppies?" Sango said. At the sound of the word puppy, both hanyou's turned around.

"I am NOT a puppy!" The two hanyou's said at the same time.

"Its getting late, maybe we should stop and get out and dry out." Kagome said.

"An excellent idea that is!" I said dragging Courtney and Shippo with me. The others followed suit and we all exited the water.

"Its all your fault dog turd.

"Wolf breath."

"Mutt face."

"Flea bag."

"Clueless."

"Cheater."

"Loser."

"Hanyou."

"Half breed."

"Half human."

"Weak."

"Idiot."

"Dense."

"SHUT UP!" I yelled. That got their attention.

"Since when does she scream?" Inuyasha asked Taigo.

"You're asking the wrong person friend."

"Dinner's ready!" Kagome yelled from another place. A fine thing! We all left and the two puppies didn't yell at each other. My poor freakin head!

Later that night, after supper, I was sitting near the river looking at my reflection. Then something came out from behind me and scared the living soul out of me.

"Relax Karina its only me." Inuyasha said. He called me Karina! Holay, holay, holay, holay!

"Oh hi. What can I do for you?"

"Eum well...can we talk?"

"Sure...what d'ya wanna tell me?"

"Well you see, the conversation we had before really helped."

"I'm glad it did."

Courtney's POV

So Karina and Inuyasha were talking, what with that? I wish he could talk to me! Maybe some other time Crosses Fingers

"So whats up?" I asked Kagome. Kagome looked at me.

"What do you mean?" She asked me.

"Well you seem sad" I replied. Kagome smiled weakly.

"Well its just, Inuyasha, I donno what to think with him" Kagome said.

"Aww don't worry I know for a fact that he likes you" I said. Kagome smiled.

"Really?" She said. I nodded my head.

"And that Rai seems pretty fond of you too" Kagome said pointing to Rai, I looked over and found him looking at me. I waved to him. Rai saw that I saw him looking at me and he blushed and quickly looked away. Kagome and I giggled.

"See what I mean" Kagome said with a smile.

"Yea, he is really cute, and those ears…and hair…." I replied. Kagome shook her head.

"Go talk to him" Kagome said. I looked back at Rai and Taigo punched him in the arm.

"Come on go talk to her, its not like she doesn't know you like her, its so obvious." Taigo shouted. Rai glared at Taigo.

"Shut up! Maybe she doesn't! How do you know!" Rai shouted. I got up and walked over.

"She does, and I think she likes you" Taigo said. I reached where Rai and Taigo were sitting.

"What's the problem boys?" I asked. Rai looked at me and smiled Taigo just got up and left.

"Oh Taigo, Karina is in the forest with Inuyasha" I shouted. Taigo looked at me.

"How did you know I was looking for her…." He asked himself.

"Hey Rai what's up?" I asked as I sat down.

"Oh nothing really" He replied.

"Kool, yea I'm pretty bored myself, hey you wanna go with me and get a board game?" I asked. Rai looked at me.

"Game board?" He repeated.

"Yea, you'll see, come on!" I shouted as I got up. I help Rai get up and grab his hand and started to run towards the well. We reached the well and jumped in, there was a blue light then we were back in my time.

"My house is just up here!" I shouted. I ran down the long staircase at Kagome's house, I almost fell but Rai caught me.

"Thanks!" I blushed. Rai and I reach my house, I ran threw the front door.

"Hey mom, dad, cant talk gotta go!" I shouted. I dragged Rai to my room and sat him on my bed.

"Stay here!" I said. The last thing I need is my parents seeing Rai. I ran to get a game, hmm…monopoly….or pictionary….PICTIONARY! I ran back to my room.

"I picked pictionary." I said proudly.

"what is it?" Rai asked.

"We gotta get back, before people wonder where we are….mainly Miroku, who knows what he'll think!" I replied. Rai nodded.

"Get on my back, its faster" Rai said. I nodded. Rai ran out the door and back to the well, it was much faster. He hopped in the well and we were back in the feudal era. We returned to the village in the nick of time. We slowly sat down and pulled the game out. I looked at Rai and he looked at me, we started to laugh, everyone just started at us.

Karina's POV

A/N Meh Cort, you really jinxed me with that damn song! God this is gonna be a lonnnnnnnnnng POV! Slight reference to Back to the Future...((if you don't know what it is...well its a really cool movie!))

"So what do you want to talk about?" I asked Inuyasha. Now I really felt like some shrink.

"Its about Kagome." I would have never guessed. DUH!

"What about her?" I asked.

"Well, you know I love her right?" Duh that's what you told me last time!

"Yes."

"Well the thing is, I would like to tell her but I'm scared that she'll just laugh at me. And what am I supposed to say to Kikyo?" This got me fired up. I was full of plenty of things that he could tell Kikyo. In the short time that we were here, I came up with the best stuff.

"Think about it Inuyasha, Kikyo is a pot of clay. No offence, but you know, she tried to kill you I'd say a couple of times, she tried to kill Kagome a couple of times more and the only thing that keeps her walking is a bit of magic and a part of Kagome's soul."

"Yeah you're right. But what do I tell her?"

"Well, I donno tell her, tell her that you've moved on, that you like Kagome, that she's better then her, that you will still avenge her death..." I glanced at Inuyasha and I saw him taking notes.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm writing this down, this is good stuff." You've got to be kidding me! What have I done to the tough and rough hanyou!

"Is there anything else you wish to talk about?" He seemed suddenly nervous. Why? That's a very good question.

"Yeah...there is. Do you think, do you think that we can do this again? I mean talk?" He asked me shyly.

"Sure no problem."

"Thanks Karina." And with that, he gave me a quick hug and left. DID HE JUST HUG ME! WHAT HAVE I DONE TO HIM!

A/N I guess it wasn't as long as I thought it was...hurray for me!

Courtney's POV

Well Karina and Inuyasha were taking a long time! Kagome decided to see what was up, so that left Sango and Miroku fighting and Shippo watching Rai and I.

"Okay so how do you play this game?" Rai asked.

"Well you roll the die, then whatever colour you land on you have to draw the thing it says in the same colour on the cards" I replied. Rai started at me.

"Draw?" he repeated. I laughed.

"Yes…." I replied. "Okay go" I shouted. Rai rolled the die and got a 4. He moved 4 spaces and landed on yellow. I handed him a card. And he looked at it then looked at me. I passed him the paper pad and a pencil.

"GO!" I shouted Rai started to draw. Note to self: never get Rai to draw ANYTHING! I was staring at his picture, it looked like a bunch of scribbles with horns.

"Umm…..a devil! A frog! HORSE MOUSE!" I shouted Rai looked at me. on guess!" she replied. I looked at it.

"Umm…..cheese?" I guessed, Rai shook his head. "I have no idea!" I replied. Rai glared at me.

"It's a cow…." He replied.

"You call that a cow?" I asked him. Rai nodded. I laughed so hard; Shippo began to stare at us. Rai just looked at his picture.

"It looks like a cow….see the horns…and the black dots…." He said pointing out the things.

"I don't see it!" I said as I moved in for a closer look. I sat down in front of Rai and leaned back on him. "Okay now show me!" I replied.

"The horns….and the spots!" He replied pointing at the picture. I shook my head.

"I still don't see it….wait….I SEE IT!" I shouted. Rai fell over laughing, which caused me to fall back onto him. Shippo still stared. He walked over.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Playing a game" Rai and I replied. Shippo nodded.

"Rai can I tell you something?" Shippo asked.

"Yea sure" Rai replied. Shippo lend to Rai's ear.

"Did you know Courtney has a boyfriend?" Shippo whispered. Rai looked at me.

"What are you talking about Shippo, I do not!" I protested. Shippo nodded.

"Yea you said so! I remember" Shippo said.

"I was lying, so that Miroku wouldn't get any ideas….he is creepy sometime!" I replied.

"HEY I HEARD THAT!" Miroku shouted. I shrugged.

"Well what was I suppose to think, you groped me!" I shouted back.

"HE GROPED YOU!" Rai shouted. Rai stared at Miroku.

Karina's POV
A/N Your part came as a surprise! Yay!

"We better go back to see the others before they think that we got attacked or something." I told Inuyasha.

"Yeah good idea." We were leaving when Kagome got out of the woods.

"There you are! I've been looking for you guys for the past five minutes! Courtney should have told me you were near the river!" Kagome said coming closer to us.

"Why were you looking for me anyways?" Inuyasha asked. What ever Kagome asked, I did not here since I was looking at a pair of eyes that were staring at me. They were coming from behind some bushes. Please let it not be Taigo or a demon, please let it not be Tai...

"BOO!"

"ARGH!" I yelled. The thing rose out from behind its hiding spot and laughed at me.

"You should've seen your face! Man that was hilarious! You were all like ARGH! And god that was funny!" Taigo said laughing like a mad man.

"Ha, ha, ha. That's so funny I forgot to laugh."

"Sorry Kari, but you did laugh."

"Smart ass." Sheesh...he sure was one!

"Well somebody is in a foul mood." He said sarcastically.

"You just scared the living shit out of me! Of course I won't be all happy! What the hell did you expect?" I yelled at him.

"Hey, sorry. Now please don't bite my head off, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, sorry--or apology accepted--or whatever." I said not sure of what I had to say.

"What ever will do Kari." He said smirking.

"Come on lets go see the others." We went to see the others and we found the oddest thing ever. Miroku was hiding behind Sango and Rai was about to kill Miroku but he was being held back by Courtney and Shippo.

"This is interesting..." I said. Shippo and Courtney looked at me and Miroku let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm saved!"

"Rai, what the hell are you doing?" Taigo asked Rai.

"Trying to kill that damn pervert." He said. "Let go of me." He told Courtney and Shippo.

"Not a chance cat boy." Shippo said.

"Miroku you need to clean your record." I told the poor monk...and to think that he's a monk... what a long night ahead of us...Courtney's POV

Wow, I so did not expect Rai to flip out like that, is kinda cute thought!

"Rai calm down, its okay" I said, trying to hold him back. I had my arms around his waist leaning back with all my weight and Shippo had his arms around Rai's leg doing the same thing. It wasn't really doing much. Miroku was hiding for his life behind Sango. Sango just laughed.

"You had it coming…" Sango simply said. Miroku gave Sango the puppy eyes, Sango smiled. "Fine, I'll try to calm him down too…" Sango sighed.

"Yes!" Miroku shouted.

"Miroku you can't hide forever! Courtney and Shippo wont hold me back forever!" Rai shouted.

"Is that a challenge?" I asked Rai. Rai looked at me oddly. I shrugged. I saw Karina, Inuyasha, Kagome and Taigo come to the village.

"ITS ABOUT TIME!" I shouted. "Now, Inuyasha and Taigo get over here and HELP!" I shouted. Rai was beginning to make his way towards Miroku.

"AHHH!" Miroku shouted.

"Do I have to! I really wanna see this! Miroku finally gets what he deserves!" Inuyasha laughed.

"This is not funny Inuyasha!" Miroku shouted. Inuyasha and Taigo laughed.

"Come on Inuyasha, Rai is really gonna kill him if we don't do something" Taigo said, Miroku gulped really loud. Inuyasha and Taigo came over, grabbed Rai by the arms and brought him over to a near tree.

"Now tell me what happened" Taigo said as they let go off Rai. Rai started to run towards Miroku.

"Oh no you don't!" Inuyasha shouted as he side check Rai to the ground. There was a loud thud and some dust flew into the air.

"Rai!" I shouted. I ran over. Rai was lying on the ground. "OMG are you okay?" I asked as I helped him up.

"Yes, but that monk wont be!" Rai shouted. Taigo and Inuyasha grabbed Rai again. "What happened to your vow of celibacy huh monk!" Rai shouted. Karina, Kagome, Sango and I all laughed.

"Yea" Sango said in agreement.

"Okay are we gonna have to do this the hard way?" Inuyasha asked. Rai looked at him with a blank stare.

"Yea, we are" Taigo said. "Kari, go get me some rope" Taigo shouted. Karina nodded.

"What are you going to do?" I asked. Taigo looked at Inuyasha, Inuyasha looked at Taigo and they smiled.

"You'll see," They said.

"I donno about this!" Kagome said.

"Same here…." Sango said.

"WHAT JUST KEEP HIM AWAY FROM ME!" Miroku shouted.

"Idiot…." Shippo muttered. Karina ran to the hut and grabbed some rope; she quickly came back and gave it to Taigo.

"Here you go," She said with a smile.

"Thanks" Taigo said, he smiled back. OHHHHH some flirting or what! Taigo took the rope and started to tie Rai to the tree.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" Rai shouted.

"What does it look like kitty? We're tying you to the tree" Inuyasha said.

"Yea stupid" Taigo said.

"Make sure his hands are away from the rope, he'll use his claws" Inuyasha said.

"Yea I know…." Taigo replied. When Taigo was done Rai's whole chest was covered with rope, he was tied to the tree! He couldn't even move.

"YOU ARE GONNA PAY DOG BOY! YOU TOO TAIGO!" Rai shouted. Taigo and Inuyasha stepped back and laughed. Rai when red with anger.

"Awww come on be nice!" I said. "Who would you like it if I tied you two to a tree" I said.

"As if…." Inuyasha and Taigo said.

"Wanna bet?" I said, I picked up some rope and flung it around. Taigo and Inuyasha stared at me in horror, and then ran. Taigo hid behind Karina and Inuyasha hid behind Kagome.

"Yea that's what I thought," I said as I put the rope onto the ground.

"Don't be scared puppies!" Karina and Kagome said as they patted Inuyasha and Taigo on the head. The two growled. I was looking at Rai, poor him…..

"So how is the tree?" I asked as I sat down beside him. He glared at me.

"How do you think?" He muttered.

"Okay, guess that was funnier in my head…." I replied. Rai nodded. Everyone else had started a fire and were sitting around it. They were all laughing, because Kagome was telling stories about Inuyasha and when they first meet and other funny things he's done. Inuyasha would stand up and protest but it didn't help, everyone just laughed harder.

"So why aren't you with them?" Rai asked motioning his head to the others.

"I donno, thought you might like some company" I replied.

"Yea company is nice" Rai said. I smiled. Rai laughed.

"What?" I asked. Rai shook his head.

"Nothing…" He replied.

"AWWWW come on!" I said. Rai smiled.

"Nope not gonna tell you!" He said.

"Okay…lets see…." I said with a grin, Rai looked at me funny. I started to tickle him; Rai was smiling, then trying to keep a straight face the whole time.

"Its….not…haha….gonna…..haha….work…" Rai said.

"Fine!" I said I stopped tickling him, and looked at the fire. "Its such a nice night out, you can see the stars and everything! I love just laying back and looking into the sky" I said.

"The lay back" Rai said. I looked at him.

"Kay…" I replied. I laid my head down on Rai's legs and looked into the sky. "Do you know any of the constellations?" I asked him.

"What are constellations?" Rai asked. I laughed.

"I'll show you another time when you aren't so tied up!" I replied with a smirk, Rai laughed at me.

Karina's POV
LOL! A/N MAN THAT WAS HILLARIOUS!

''Do you think its safe to untie Rai now?'' Sango asked.

''HELL NO!''Miroku shouted. I don't know what Rai said he was gonna do to him but by the looks of it it was really traumatizing.

''Maybe we should though.'' I said with a mischievous smile.

''I like the way you think, Kari.'' Taigo said. Miroku gulped and looked even more frightened.

''Its a conspiracy! We should tie them all on a tree.'' Miroku said.

''Are you scared Miroku?'' Shippo asked between fits of laughter.

''No, I'm not scared.'' He said unsure.

''Right!'' We all said.

''So, wolf boy, why do you call Karina Kari, hen, hen, hen?'' Inuyasha asked with a smirk. Taigo went scarlet and I tried real hard not to laugh.

''Euh, euh, euh...cause, because eum...its her euh, nickname? Yeah cause its her nickname!'' He said. He looked really nervous and it was really funny!

''Sure...are you sure its not because you like her?'' Inuyasha asked.

''N...o?''

''You don't sound convinced.'' Kagome said with a broad smile.

''I'm not.'' He whispered into the night.

Courtney's POV

HAHAHA Poor Taigo and Rai!

Rai and I were listening to the conversation by the fire.

"Poor Taigo" Rai whispered. I looked at him.

"What do you mean?" I asked him. Rai looked at me.

"Well see Taigo likes Karina….."He said.

"KNEW IT!" I said interrupting Rai.

"Well he hates to be put on the spot like that, so imagine how he feels right now" Rai said. I looked at him.

"And you are saying you don't have it bad being tied to this tree?" I asked as I sat up and looked at him.

"Well the only difference is that I have great company," Rai said. I smiled and blushed. Rai blushed as well. I looked at Rai straight in the eyes; he was looking back in my eyes. I love those eyes of his, so nice and comforting, then Rai leaned in. I leaned in as well then………..

"What cha' doing?" Shippo asked. Rai looked at me, then at Shippo, then back at me. I just stared at Shippo.

"Ummm….nothing!" We both said.

"Sure sure" Shippo replied rolling his eyes, then he ran over towards the others.

"Oh no…" I said.

"GUYS GUYS GUESS WHAT!" Shippo shouted. I ran over as quickly as I could.

"Rai and Courtney were…………." Shippo said, then I put my hand over his mouth.

"We were just wondering if Rai could be untied now" I said looking at Rai. He sighed in relief.

"NO WAY!" Miroku shouted. He jumped behind Sango. Sango laughed.

"Rai promises he wont hurt you…..right Rai?" I said looking at him.

"I promise…." Rai muttered.

"See!" I said with a smile. Taigo and Inuyasha looked at each other.

"Well he seems calmed down" Taigo said. Inuyasha nodded.

"Okay…." Inuyasha said. Miroku gasped in horror.

"NO NO NO NO NO NO!" He shouted over and over while Taigo and Inuyasha untied Rai.

"You deserve it monk…." Sango muttered. Miroku glared at her. Kagome nodded in agreement, while Karina and I laughed so hard that we could hardly breath. They finally finished untying Rai.

"That's much better!" Rai said as he stretched. Rai walked over to Miroku and stuck his hand out.

"See….no worries!" Inuyasha said. Everyone nodded in agreement and walked back to the fire.

"No hard feelings" Rai said. Miroku cautiously took Rai's hand. Rai grabbed Miroku's hand tightly and I heard Miroku gasp in pain so I looked back. Rai pulled Miroku over and whispered something.

"Touch her again and you're mine…." Rai said. Miroku gulped and nodded.

"I got it" Miroku said.

"And if you are looking for a love interest, Sango is your best bet, do you see the way she looks at you?" Rai asked. Miroku smiled. I laughed, Rai ran up to me.

"So what was that about?" I asked Rai.

"Nothing, just straitening something out" He replied.

"Now now play nice." I said. Rai laughed. We joined everyone at the fire and sat down to chat.

"HEY! I didn't get to finish what I was saying!" Shippo shouted. Rai and I looked at each other. No one seemed to really care, but Taigo had this mischievous look in his eye.

Karina's POV
Hahaha! Beware of the power that we have!

You know honestly I really did not care what Courtney and Rai were doing in sitting by the tree. OHHH! Courtney and Rai sitting by the tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G! That would be funny! Taigo seemed desperate to know what his comrade was doing in the woods. Or was about to do.

"So what were they doing Shippo?" He seemed really interested in what the kit had to say and it made matters worse for Courtney and Rai since he was even more determined to tell us.

"They were about to kmimphs" Rai had placed a hand over Shippo's mouth and we didn't catch the last word, all though it sounded awfully a lot like kiss! I WAS SO RIGHT!

"Oh you were about to kiss?" Taigo said starting to laugh.

"N...no" Courtney said blushing like 3 million shades of red. ((I wouldn't talk about Rai))

"Sure." Taigo said cracking up and laughing like a mad man.

"Courtney and Rai sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage!" If Taigo wasn't laughing, he sure the hell was now! Shippo joined Taigo and they were rolling on the floor. Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku and Sango were all looking at us.

"Karina, SHUT UP!" Courtney yelled. That just got me fired up. Now time to tell everyone that hadn't heard!

"COURTNEY AND RAI SITTING IN A TREE K-I-S-S-I-N-G FIRTS COMES LOVE, THEN COMES MARRIAGE, THEN COMES THE BABY IN THE BABY CARRIAGE! COURTNEY AND RAI SITTING IN A TREE K-I-S-S-I-N-G FIRST COMES LOVE,THEN COMES MARRIAGE, THEN COMES THE BABY IN THE BABY CARRIAGE!" Everyone except for Courtney and Rai laughed. And I mean LAUGHED!

Courtney got up and she started running after me. Thank God she didn't have a knife or else I'd seriously think she would have chassed me with one. But of course, that didn't stop me from running away from her and continuing singing. Rai looked like he wanted to be any other place but here. Aww...c'mon can't you let a poor girl have some fun? I mean even Inuyasha was laughing like a mad man!

Courtney's POV Man do I ever feel picked outta a crowd:P

WOW did Rai and I ever have it bad. Well it's not like where the only love interest here! Kagome and Inuyasha, one, Sango and Miroku, two and Karina and Taigo, three…..Shippo was all-alone!

"Well its not like you guys do like anyone here!" I blurted out. Everyone stopped what they were doing,

"YA! You think we can't tell, well you've all got another thing coming!" Rai said. Everyone stared.

"Do we need to name names?" I asked.

"NO!" Karina, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha and Taigo shouted at the same time. I looked at Rai and he nodded.

"Well I think we do" I replied.

"As do I" Rai agreed. I pointed to Kagome.

"Kagome, it is obvious that you like Inuyasha…" I said. Kagome looked down to the ground and blushed. Inuyasha stared into thin air blushing like crazy.

"Inuyasha, it is SO obvious you like Kagome" Rai said, Inuyasha looked shocked.

"No….umm…..why…." Inuyasha stammered. I shook my head.

"No denying it!" I shouted. Inuyasha stopped talking. I then pointed to Sango.

"Miroku, if you paid more attention to things around, other then women and their…umm…parts, you'd see Sango likes you!" Rai said. I nodded.

"Yes and Sango, you shouldn't let Miroku do that, I know it may not seem like it, but he only has eyes for you, making you jealous is what he does because he is unsure!" I replied. Miroku smiled greatly and Sango blushed not knowing what to say.

"Now…who do we have left?" I asked, looking at Karina and Taigo.

"OH ME! WHAT ABOUT ME?" Shippo shouted as he jumped up and down. I looked at Shippo.

"Well let's see….how bout that little girl over there?" I asked him. Shippo's jaw dropped.

"How did you know?" He whispered in bewilderment. I laughed.

"Now…Karina and Taigo…" Rai said grinning evilly. I smiled. Karina and Taigo shook there heads no, but well where's the fun in that?

"Well see I don't even have to explain, Karina you are already blushing, and Taigo….well come on its obvious!" I said as I stuck my tongue out at Karina. Karina glared at me. Taigo and I started to sing the song they taunted us with before, but everyone chased us around. Shippo laughed hysterically, the other's…….well they weren't too impressed.

"Well think of it this way, you don't have to confess your undying love for each other now!" I laughed as I ran away from Karina. Karina glared at me.

"COURTNEY! WAIT TILL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!" She shouted.

"RAI YOU ARE GONNA GET IT!" Taigo and Inuyasha shouted. Kagome and Sango were still shocked, but chased us anyways, and Miroku had a dumb smile planted on his face. Rai and I managed to some how climb up a tree and not get caught, everyone was so embarrassed that they sat down by the fire and said nothing.

"We'll deal with you later!" They said. Rai and I laughed so hard; I almost fell out of the tree. Everyone sat in silence….it was really creepy.

"Aww come on we were kidding, for all we know it's not true!" I said slowly getting out of the tree. Everyone just glared at me. Now I felt bad. Rai was still smiling about it; he really got a kick out of it. I sat down beside Karina.

"I'm sorry….I just hate being put on the spot like that," I said. I looked at Kagome and Sango "you too" I said.

Karina's POV
You will pay Court!

"On the count of three." I said.

"One."

"Two."

"Three!" Too bad that Courtney and Rai had to come down that tree, its a pity really. We all jumped on either Courtney or Rai and started beating the shit out of them. We all had our motives. I mean you don't just go out there and tell the world your biggest secret! I mean like Courtney and Rai was like soooooooooooo obvious! I mean they were all alone in the forest and, AND, Shippo told us that they were about to kiss! Excuse me but if that doesn't show that they have feelings for each other then I don't know what does! People are really dense now a days. They just don't make them like they used to...what a sad and cruel world.

"LET GO OF ME!" Courtney yelled. She was being euh, how should I say it? She was getting hit, beaten, pulled, tossed, punched and kicked by Kagome, who by the ways looked like she was ready to kill someone, me and Sango who seemed she was ready to go on a rampage. WE ALL HAVE OUR PERSONNAL REASONS! I mean even if they do like Inuyasha and Miroku, (which by the ways is soooo obvious but I won't say it because I value life and I have self esteem AND respect!) she had no right what so ever to go on and shout about it to the world to hear! And what the hell is she doing going on and telling everyone that I LIKED Taigo! Is she nuts! Jeez, and here I thought we were friends!

"Not until you pay! You traitor!" Sango yelled.

"Oh. so it is true that you like him?" Courtney asked. BAD move! I mean you don't go asking question like that right after you do what she just did. Was she trying to end her life right now? Cause I know a bunch of easier ways. Less painful too. You know, guns, bombs, knives, Inuyasha's Wind Scar, Inuyasha's iron claws, Inuyasha's Iron Reaver Soul Stealer, what ever Inuyasha can do to kill a demon, Miroku's wind tunnel, Sango's hiraikotsu, Kagome's arrows, that little boys deadly looking weapon, th...WHAT THE HELL? WHO'S THAT LITTLE BOY?

"Hey look over there!" Everyone stopped fighting for a moment and looked in that direction. There was a boy about ten years old standing right out of the forest. Sango looked flabbergasted. Does she know him? Wait isn't it...

"Kohaku?" Sango said shaking. She blinked a couple of times making sure that it was him before running towards him.

Courtney's POV

And its Cort :P or Cortz…..lol

Well it seemed like Rai and I were off the hook for now, everyone was mesmerized by the little boy. Karina had called him Kohaku, but Rai, Taigo and myself had no idea who he was! Sango looked as thought she was going to cry! Sango ran up to the little boy.

"KOHAKU!" She cried. She gave him a big huge and cried. I sat on the ground with a blank stare. What is going on? I thought. I could tell Rai and Taigo were thinking it same thing!

"Well this is a hell of a lot better then getting beaten," I whispered to Rai. Rai nodded. I walked up to Kagome.

"So who's the little boy?" I asked. Kagome looked at me.

"That is Kohaku, Sango's little brother. It's a long story……I'll tell you later, I don't think Sango would be up to hearing it at this moment." Kagome said. I nodded. Well this should pose to be an interesting story. Sango just held onto Kohaku. Then he collapsed. Everyone gasped. When he fell there was no blood, he just collapsed. Sango didn't know what to do, Kagome and Inuyasha carried Kohaku into the hut while Miroku escorted Sango to the hut. Karina, Taigo, Rai and I just stood there. I wanted to know the whole story, but knew it wasn't the time to bring it up. Karina still had a look of hate in her eyes. I gave her the puppy dog face, but even that did nothing!

"Look I am sorry! How many times to I have to say it?" I asked.

"You had no right!" Karina shouted. I looked at her blankly.

"YOU STARTED IT!" I shouted. Rai and Taigo stared at us. They began to back away.

"I wouldn't wanna be caught in the middle of that!" Rai said to Taigo.

"I'm with you on that one!" Taigo said in agreement. Karina and I turned and looked at them.

"WHAT IS THAT SUPOSE TO MEAN!" Karina and I shouted at the same time. Rai and Taigo ran behind the tree.

"Nothing……" They whispered.

"Hmpht!" We replied. We marched off towards the hut.

"Remind me next time to keep my mouth shut!" Taigo said. Rai nodded in agreement.

"Same for me!" Rai replied. Karina and I walked into the hut and Sango was kneeling beside her little brother.

"Is he going to be okay?" I asked. Kagome looked at me and nodded her head slowly.

"He is just exhausted." Kagome replied. Sango looked so sad. I hated it when people were sad. I walked up and placed a hand on her should.

"He'll be fine" I said. Sango looked and me, then she began to cry again. Dam it! I hate it even more when people cry! I knelt down beside her.

"It'll be fine, you'll see. Don't cry, be happy he is alright" I whispered. Sango sniffed and nodded. Then I left. Shippo called. He was running behind me. I stopped and turned around.

"Yes?" I said. Shippo ran up to me and stopped right in front of me.

"What you did to cheer up Sango was really nice! You don't even know what happened between her and her family or anything but you still managed to cheer her up!" Shippo said. I smiled.

"I know, thanks for saying something!" I replied. Shippo nodded then went back to the hut. I smiled and walked back to where we were sitting. Something really bad must have happened to cause Sango to cry like that, I have never seen her like that….ever!
