Lai was laughing her head off. "You so-o-o-o-o have angered so many people by not updating.

Shel sighed. "Yeah…I know…I'm gonna get mobbed."

Pitchforks fly through the window and Shel hides behind Lai. "Holy crap…LAI! DO SOMETHING!"

"Okay." She throws Shel out the window. "Hehe...that solves ALOT of problems..."

Allie Baker is a sophomore at Badin High school in Ohio. …Or…WAS a sophomore. One of my closest friends has been taken away from me. She was in a car crash on November 25, 2005. And was pronounced "dead" at the scene. The sad thing was, I was in a different state and didn't even get to go to her funeral. Allie was the nicest, forgiving, most wonderful young lady that I knew. And it tears me up inside to know that I will never see her smiling face again except in faded photographs.

I know that Allie is now one of the prettiest girls in heaven and I miss her so much.

Ghost of You

Chapter 18

The Deal Is Off!

Sango and Miroku waited impatiently. They were ready to head out-to where, though, who knows-but InuYasha, Shippo, and Kirara were no where to be found. "Where could they have gone?" Sango wondered out loud. Miroku shook his head. "They'll come back when they come back, I suppose."

Actually, Miroku didn't care how long those three stayed away. The point was; he was alone with Sango. Yay!

Miroku got that creepy perverse grin on his face. Sango turned around to face him and the look quickly vanished. Sango blinked.

"What?" Miroku asked, innocently enough. Sango glared at him. "Ten feet."

Miroku sighed and took two steps back.

"Please, please, please, please, please, please, please?-!" Shippo feel to his knees, his hands cupped together. Kirara was next to him and meowed. "PLE-E-E-E-E-ESE!"

"OH SHUT UP!"

Shippo rolled backwards. "Please, InuYasha, please! You have to let me and Kirara come with you."

"I don't HAVE to do anything, runt! Now just go back!" He had had this conversation before with Kirara. Okay, not really a conversation, but still. But Shippo refused to give up. "PLEASE!" He yelled again.

"No!"

"Ple-e-e-e-e-ease!"

"NO, NO, NO! Get back to Sango and Miroku, NOW!"

Shippo blinked at him with that innocent/confused little kid look. "Please?"

InuYasha growled. "Shippo! Kagome isn't around anymore so that means I can hit you without—."

"I KNOW she's not around InuYasha! That's why I HAVE to go with you." Shippo was standing up now in a fighter stance, clenching his little tiny fists together. Kirara's tail twitched. "Mew?"

Silence. Finally, InuYasha exhaled. "Okay…alright, fine! But if you get killed, I won't feel bad and there's no bringing you back! Understand?"

Shippo nodded. "Great!"

"Yeah, great." InuYasha muttered and started off towards the Western Lands. Shippo ran after him with Kirara at the kit's heels.

Ren looked around the empty shack. It wasn't really a shack, but not really a castle either. It was supposed to be a shrine but there was a high doubt about that. The sign on the outside said 'shrine' but it was pretty empty except for dried up flower petals and other brown plants.

Ren stepped inside and let the bamboo flap slide off its hinges behind her. "Alright, now, where are you?"

A small tornado of wind appeared in the middle of the room, vanished, and Kagura and Kanna stood there instead. "Nice place." Ren commented.

"You have all the jewel shards with you?" Kagura asked, ignoring the snide remark. Ren nodded and pulled the small bottle which Kagome usually had around her neck containing about ten jewel shards and tossed them to Kagura."

"You're short!" Kagura hissed. "It's no where to be found." Ren said, referring to the last jewel shard. "It just disappeared, know what I mean?"

"Kohaku." Kagura said looking down at Kanna. "Well?"

Kanna looked up noticing her sister's question was directed at her. "Kohaku is still near the castle." She answered.

"Naraku's castle?" Ren inquired. Kanna nodded. "And so that is where the others are going too."

"Others. Of course…that girl will be looking for her brother soon, I guess." Kagura folded her arms and stuffed the bottle in her kimono. "Let's go, Kanna."

"Now hold on, Kagura. What about our deal?" Ren growled. Kagura smirked. "What about it?"

"Damn it! I need that jewel, damn it!" Ren fumed. Kagura considered it. "Well, I still owe Kagome for freeing me from Naraku. Find another way to get your revenge on them if you must." The wind whipped around the whole room and then Kagura and Kanna were gone.

Ren bared her fangs and punched right through the shrine wall. "Kagura…change of plans…you'll be the first to die."
