Tami: Hey everyone! I'm really sorry I haven't updated for a few days. See,
school started on Monday, and I'm still trying to get into the swing of
things. I would've updated Tuesday afternoon, but LOTR: TTT came out and my
dad took off of work so he could rent it and I watched it 1 and a half
times. ^_^ Sexy elf hotness was all mine for like, four hours. My friend
and I were dying every time Legolas came on screen. I swear I think I have
the best reviewers of all the authors in fanfiction.net. You guys are being
so supportive of me and patient. *big hugs to all reviewers* I seriously
love you guys. (/In a friend way. *laughs*/) And most of you liked what I
did with Kirara, so I'm gonna keep it that way. I'm glad you liked it. Just
out of curiosity, has anyone ever seen this before?

Last time:
Now:
Kagome woke up in the morning to find Ah still asleep on her lap and Uhn still supporting her from behind. She was quite comfortable actually. She looked over at Sango and Miroku. She laughed softly to herself at the sight. 'Sango better wake up soon.' She looked up into the tree at Inuyasha. 'Wait a second? WHO'S SHE?!' Kagome tried to move Ah gently off her lap, but he woke up anyway. He looked at her questioningly when he saw how angry she was. She stabbed a finger at the tree. Ah looked and shook his head from side to side in an it-doesn't-matter kind of way. She growled at him and he ducked his head. Uhn woke up and looked around blearily. He yawned.
-Inuyasha in a tree with Kirara. Kagome looks angry.- Uhn observed.
~Well, I don't think she realizes it's Kirara.~ Ah said.
-Oh, yes. I can see why she would be angry.- Kagome looked like she was about to yell, but she looked down at Sesshoumaru, who was still sleeping. She melted. He looked so kawaii when he slept. She shook out of her reverie and marched over to the tree. She sucked in a deep breath.
"INUYASHA! WHO IS SHE!!" she yelled. Sesshoumaru and Rin jolted awake. Miroku and Sango's eyes fluttered open and Sango jumped away from Miroku and hid her face in her hands. Shippou just rolled over, used to their arguing. Inuyasha and Kirara jumped and both fell to the ground at Kagome's feet.
"Owww." Kirara moaned.
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!?"
"WHAT DO YOU THINK! WHO THE HECK IS SHE!? BAD ENOUGH YOU'RE ALWAYS RUNNING OFF AFTER KIKYO" Kirara interrupted with a laugh. Kagome glared at her.
"I'm sorry, Kagome, it's just.you're yelling at him for no reason. I'm Kirara." Kagome had opened her mouth to yell again and had a finger pointing at her; she had frozen in that position.
"What?" Sango asked, incredulous. Sesshoumaru sat up, wincing, and took a sniff.
"Smells like Kirara," he said, before yawning and lying back down. (/AN: Can't you just picture chibi Sess yawning and rubbing his eyes cuz he's really tired? I can. So cute!/)
"But Kirara doesn't have a human form." Miroku said. He couldn't sit up, but he was watching from the ground just the same.
"Yes, I do. I've just never used it before while I was with Sango." Kirara said.
"But why not?" Sango asked. Kirara frowned and looked at the ground.
"I was in this form when Midoriko died. I thought if I had been in my other form, she might have lived. I wonder if it's true or not."
"It's not." Inuyasha answered, sitting up. Kagome sighed.
"Sorry for yelling and using the word, Inuyasha," she apologized.
"You should be." Kirara smacked him upside the head. "Hey!" Sango and Kagome laughed.
"You've already taught her bad habits concerning men." Miroku said playfully. Kirara smiled proudly. Sango yawned and laid back down, not as close to Miroku as before. Miroku frowned a little, but shrugged it off, happy she was still near him at all. Kirara curled up on the ground, put one of her tails over her body and buried her nose in it. (/AN: My cats do this sometimes./) Inuyasha leaned against the tree and crossed his arms, staying awake to guard the group. Kagome walked back over and laid down beside Sesshoumaru. He flicked his tail over her and she looked up at him, surprised. He looked at her through his eyelashes and gave her a lopsided smile. She smiled back and snuggled into the warm fur.
'I guess I'm still not used to him treating me like a person, not just a human,' she thought. 'It's nice. I hope he doesn't change when he gets his memories back.' She mentally sighed. 'I suppose I'll have to help him get his memories back any way I can. Maybe remembering this will help change his ideas of humans.' She laughed a little under her breath when she heard him snore a little. 'This has certainly changed my mind about him. He isn't so bad to be around when he isn't trying to kill you or someone you love.' She looked over at Inuyasha. He was looking around the clearing, but his gaze always lingered on Kirara. He felt Kagome watching him and looked over. He frowned, then smirked when he saw her wrapped in his brother's tail. She stuck her tongue out at him. 'Do I love Inuyasha still? I think I do.' She yawned. 'I need more sleep. I won't think about it today, I'll think about it tomorrow.' (/AN: I'm pretty sure that's what Scarlett says in Gone with the Wind. I love that movie. Anyone who hasn't seen it, should./) She took a deep breath. 'Kami, he smells good.' She smiled and drifted back to sleep.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
The group woke up a few hours later. Shippou and Rin were running around playing tag. Ah-Uhn had taken over guard duty and were watching the two of them. Sango sat up and looked at Miroku. He was still asleep. The little worry lines around his eyes always went away when he slept. She felt a pang of sympathy for him. She would never pity him, because he wouldn't appreciate pity. He'd been through so much and still was going through so much. She looked at his hand. There was a little indentation in the fabric where the hole was. She saw when he played with it. It was an almost unconscious thing, she guessed. Whenever he was apprehensive about something or was deep in thought, he would trace the indent. He shifted a little, and winced, signifying he was awake. He opened his eyes and smiled at her. "Good morning, Sango," he said.
"More like good afternoon," she answered. He laughed a little and tried to sit up. She put a hand on his chest. "Don't. You need to rest." He sighed and laid back down. Inuyasha woke up to find Kirara snuggling against his chest again. He blushed. She was purring quietly. Her tails twitched every once in a while. He looked over at Kagome. She was wrapped in his brother's tail. He only felt a twinge of jealousy.
'That's weird. Whenever Kouga touches her, I get really jealous. Why is it different?' he thought. He couldn't come up with an answer. He looked at his brother. Sesshoumaru had a small smile on his face. It reminded Inuyasha of when they were younger. He was happy then. 'What changed there? Dad died and then Mom was attacked. Why didn't he save her?' Inuyasha felt the usual rush of anger when he thought about this, but he shoved it down. He needed to think about this. 'Now that I think about it, Sesshoumaru never acted very nice to Mother. He even seemed to hate her at times. Maybe it had something to do with his mother?' He mentally sighed. 'This is getting me nowhere.'
'Talking to him would get you somewhere,' a voice in his head said.
'Great time to have a conscience. Anyway, he can't remember anything. It make no difference even if I did want to talk to him.' He shook his head and stood up, dumping Kirara off of him. She sat up and looked around blearily.
"Light. Bright. Too much," she mumbled. She laid back down and curled up, putting a tail over her eyes.

Tami: The first AN was written over the course of the week, so, yeah. ^_^ You all were so supportive of me. Thanks again.
Review responses:
goddess of the FLAME: I'm sorry you didn't like it. I thought I was keeping everyone in character. I just wanted to give them a little more depth for my story. Who knows, maybe one day I will turn this into an original fic.
Sesshi lover: I saw a pic with Inuyasha lying on Kirara, asleep, when she was in her big form, and that triggered the pairing idea. It then evolved into the human form idea. I have weird thought processes.
Suki1: Cool boat! I want a boat like the Black Pearl! I want a hat too. *sigh* THE CAR AND THE BOAT ARE IMMORTAL!
Ranmagirl7: Yes, it was the Anonymous person. *sigh* If I ever have something bad to say about a fic, I leave my name. It seems cowardly not too. And don't worry, Kikyo will suffer drastically for hurting my Sesshou like that. *draws sword* Drastically. 8 ½ months is just an evil amount of time.
Hyo: Sadly, Jaken's torture is more towards the end of the fic.
fluffy fan: Oooo plushie. *grabs plushie*
emerald dragon hanyou: Chibi Kouga, pretty please! Chibi's are soooo kawaii!
Aamalie: K names work for the guy. ^_^
Saria4: It's Kirara in Japanese. It's pronounced different in English.
Striking Falcon: Oh, don't worry, they will die. I forgive you. I've slacked off on your reading yours too. Don't worry, I'll come review and beg forgiveness soon.
Shadowy Tenshi-chan: COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUM YUM YUM!!!!!
Jarjayes: Do you have a clue what that name is?
