Flame-sama: I just realized that I have not been doing my disclaimer and therefore this one will serve for my whole story.

Sassydancer: Flame, hurry up already! They want to get to the story already, right? (Looks to audience)

Audience: Yea!

Sassy: See I told you! (Turns around and starts paying the audience with chocolate while Flame does the disclaimer)

Flame: I do not in any form own the series of Inuyasha (but I do own the 2nd movie!)

Flame:(looks at Sassy) Ooooo! Is that what I think it is? (Looks to confirm her suspicions) it is! Please give me some! (Looks at Sassy with big kitten eyes (Flame is part cat that's why there not puppy eyes))

Sassy: (starts backing away slowly trying to hide the chocolate behind her back.)

Last Time:

"Go and find Sango and Miroku, tell them that Miroku is to find a suitable room for our new guest near his preferably, Sango and Kilala are to go to the storeroom and get a futon and blankets to put in the room, and after giving out the instructions you are to go with Miroku and make sure that the firepit is in working condition then, get wood for it and a flint." Aiko gave the Kit rapid-fire instructions. "Got all that?"

"Hai!" the kit answered then ran off to do what he had been told to do, while Inuyasha just stood there dumbfounded. While Inuyasha stood there staring off into space, Kagome came out of the sick room.

This Time:

Chapter 5: Lady Kikyo Returns

"I see you met mama," Kagome said seeing Inuyasha's dazed state. "Don't worry you'll get used to her, do you want to go and meet everyone?"

"Sure, I guess."

"Alright lets get going!" and with that Kagome lead the way to where she sensed her friends to be. When the two reach Kagome's friends (soon to be Inuyasha's too) Kagome introduces them to one another, " Inuyasha I would like you to meet Sango, Miroku, Kilala, and I think you already met Shippo. Everyone please meet Inuyasha."

"Hello Inuyasha," Sango greeted Inuyasha while Kilala came up to him and rubbed against his legs.

"Hello Inuyasha it's nice to meet you." Miroku said then they all heard yelling outside.

They went to see what was the matter they saw someone running down the path yelling, "Lady Kikyo's coming! Lady Kikyo's coming!"

"Who's this 'Lady Kikyo' person?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.

"Lady Kikyo is a Miko who used to live here until two years ago when she left leaving my training to Lady Kaede. We've been hearing that she was in the area but she has been before and never came to even stay the night so maybe she'll stay for a while." Kagome answered Inuyasha's question then said, "I must go and greet her seeing as I was her student at one point, does anyone want to come with me?" she asked.

Miroku was the only one who wanted to come and so they left the others at Kagome's hut. When the two reached the entrance to the village Kikyo was just dismounting her horse. Kagome walked up and said, "Hello Lady Kikyo, is there anything that I can do for you?"

"No. Kagome, how has the village faired in my absence? How has your training gone?" Kikyo asked her former student.

"The village is fine, and I am about to learn how to put my powers into an arrow." Kagome replied.

"Can you sense demonic presence's yet?"

"A little bit"

"So that's probably why you don't seem to sense the weak demonic aura surrounding the village."

"Huh? What demonic aura? Is it threatening or peaceful?" Kagome asked while Miroku listened eagerly.

"It is peaceful for now but we must banish it before it decides to attack an innocent villager." And with that said Kikyo started walking towards where she felt the aura originates from at a fast pace with Kagome and Miroku following her, by the time they got as far as Kagome's family's hut she felt the aura's also and immediately knew who Kikyo was sensing.

"Lady Kikyo, I can 'feel' the aura's!" Kagome announced excitedly for she usually had to be practically next to the demon to sense it.

"What do you mean 'aura's'? I only sense one weak aura." Kikyo demanded Kagome to answer her.

"I mean exactly what I said. I 'feel' 3 distinctly separate aura's." Kagome replied with questions in her eyes. 'Why can Lady Kikyo only sense one weak aura when I can 'feel' all 3? Is it because I know the demons? Because I recognize these aura's, one's Shippo, another's Kilala, and the weaker one that seems to also be human at the same time is Inuyasha because he's a half-demon. Strange I can also 'feel' Miroku's wind tunnel!' Kagome thought in rapid succession.

A second after Kagome answered her Kikyo realized something, "Kagome did you just say that you felt the aura's!" Kikyo demanded.

"Yea…Yes,…but what does that have to do with anything?" Kagome said nervously.

"Do you know the difference between sensing and feeling Kagome?"

"No, no I don't. It, it's not bad is it? That I'm feeling instead of sensing?"

"Not really but you had better not let anyone else know about this, you understand? And you boy, you're not to tell anyone got it?" the two children nodded their heads to show their understanding. "Now Kagome, this is your hut is it not?" Kagome nodded. "Why do you think that the aura permeates your hut when it should obviously be able to note that you, even if you are in training, are a miko?"

"Lady Kikyo, all three of the aura's are familiar to me, so it is probably just my friends." Kagome said not noticing until she had finished that Kikyo's expression had turned dark.

Flame: I could end the chapter here but, I wont just yet.

"What do you mean, 'all three of the aura's are familiar' to you and why would demons be your friends? You are a miko and are better than any demons! Do not lower your self to even pity them let alown be their friends as you put it." Kikyo told Kagome in an angry tone.

What the three outside the hut didn't realize was that all the occupants of the hut, (except Sota I mean come on he's sick do you really think that he'd be up and about? who was still in bed and Mama who was checking on him), were hearing everything that they were saying. "What's going on? Why are you all peeking out of the door way?" Mama asked the children in a semi-hushed tone.

"Mama, the dark haired Lady out there is telling Kagome not to be friends with Inuyasha, Kilala, and Shippo no more!" Sango told her (every one who lives in the hut calls her 'Mama' even Inuyasha will eventually).

"What! Wait 'what dark haired Lady'?" Mama asked.

"Kagome called her 'Lady Kikyo' does that help?" Inuyasha asked.

Flame: Well I hope you enjoyed that chapter!

Sassy: walks in

Flame: where have you been! Candles are suddenly lit all over the room

Sassy: um…

Tomikyo: walks in and sees all the candles

Flame: oh, hi Tomikyo

Sassy: Tomikyo's here?

Tomikyo: Sassy made you angry again didn't she?

Flame: how'd you know? Looking innocent

Tomikyo: Because all of your candles are lit

Flame: oh

Sassy: tries to sneak out while Flame's not looking

Flame: Where do you think your going?

Sassy: um… nowhere?

Flame: good starts chasing Sassy around the room with a cast iron skillet

Sassy: Ahhhh! Put that thing down already! Running around the room to avoid Flame

Tomikyo: -- ok, well, please review!
