Disclaimer: don't own Inuyasha, only my own made up characters that . . . I . . . made up . . . yea. Did that make sense cuz it doesn't to me.

Yay! Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm so happy right now, (just in case u couldn't tell)! 1000 Reasons Why won 1st place at Battle of the Bands in Ottawa! It's so awesome!

lilgirlroxs: thanx, here's the update, hope u like!

lili boom: arigato! Arigato! Arigato! Thanx, that was an awsome review and I really appreciated it. I don't care if it's my fic, any criticism, ideas, or suggestions r totally welcome. And I totally agree with u, and have already started getting a really good idea for a later chapter (probably chapter 11 or 12 if nothing changes) and hopefully it will let those ppl with 'talent and imagination' see it as I do. Then again I'll probably forget by then and it'll end up all weird, but anywho . . . I really enjoyed reading your review and your awesome criticism (hope you can do that more often I really need to be reminded), but I'm only 15 so u gotta give me some credit, I've only been writing for a little while.

This is the last chapter that takes place in the feudal era until chapter, shirenai (don't know if that's the right tense to use it but, ichio . . .). . . some chapter later in the story. Sry.

Chapter 9

Rebuilding

ano. . . ano . . .

(AAAAAAAH! –screams- (it's kinda obvious) BRAIN FART! ALREADY! This sux! Hmph! I haven't even started the chapter yet. Fuck! Sry for the evil language, but that's why it's rated M, so I won't get in trouble. ARGH! –screams yet again- . . . gimmie a sec . . . 1 more sec . . . k, something's coming to me . . . ahah! –claps- -does happy dance- I got it!)

Shippo, a tiny ball of orange-red fur, scampered down the dirt path. In the distance he could make out the remains of a village long destroyed. He stopped abrublty and turned back to look down the path at his companions.

"I can see it Sango, we're almost at your village."he called.

About a week ago Sango and Miroku had been married. (about a week after the thing at the well). Shortly after their marriage, Sango requested that they go back to her exterminator village. She wanted to rebuild it with Miroku. She wanted her own children to grow up in the village where she had grown up. Miroku had been more than willing. So he and Sango, along with Shippo and Kirara (of course, how could anyone forget Kirara?) had made their way to the old village. Little did they know someone else was following them . . .

Inuyasha watched as Shippo turned around and yelled something to the others. Unfortunately the sun had set about an hour ago and it just happened to be the night of the new moon. So, Inuyasha was human, at night, in the middle of a forest, hiding in the shadows just so his friends wouldn't see him? This dude's has seriously got to get his priorities straight! Anyway, Inuyasha was thinking along the same lines as this.

'What the hell am I thinking? I'm gonna get killed, just because I don't want them to see me. I have got to be drunk either that or I'm just a do-baka!'he thought.

"Screw this!"he muttered under his breath.

He bolted from the shadows and ran toward the three retreating figures a few metres ahead.

Shippo was the first to notice that they were being followed and he knew exactly who it was. Before he could say anything to Sango and Miroku, that certain someone bolted out of the forest and made a mad dash toward them. Sango and Miroku, though not demon, could hear someone coming in from behind and spun around ready to attack. Sango swung Hiraikotsu at the shadowy figure. They froze, hearing the yelp that followed as the figure jumped out of the way, narrowly missing the giant boomerang in the head.

"SANGO!" the Inuyasha yelled.

"Eep, Inuyasha! I'm sorry I didn't realise it was you. Wait, why are you human?"she blurted out.

"ahem –cough- -cough-." Inuyasha pointed up to the black, star dotted sky.

Sango gasped. "Oh my goodness! It's the new moon!"she exclaimed.

"In that case, you may join us Inuyasha."stated Miroku. "Unless of course you don't want our help."

"Keh."was all that came from Inuyasha.

"We'll take that as a yes."said Miroku. "Welcome back."

The group was back together, somewhat. Kagome was still gone, in her own time. But anyway…seeing asthey were not going to make it to the village anytime soon, the group decided to make camp. Shippo scurried off, but still remained close to the camp, to find and gather some dry wood for the fire. Nearby was a river that flowed into a lake on the other side of the exterminator village. The river was plentiful with fish from what Sango remembered. She explained to Inuyasha and Miroku where it was so that they could fetch some fish for their dinner. Shippo returned to the camp shortly after Inuyasha and Miroku had left. He stumbled into camp trying to balance a large pile firewood. At sight of the camp he hurried his pace to a run.

"SANGO!" he called.

Shippo didn't mean for it, but his voice sounded desperate and fearful. Sango jumped from her spot on the ground and grabbed hiraikotsu. She slung hiraikotsu across her back and ran quickly to the tiny kitsune's aid. But when she arrived at his side there was no danger in sight. No demon, no wild animal, no nothing. (does that make sense…). She lowered hiraikotsu and got out of her fighting stance. She looked down at Shippo with a confused look as he staggered from side to side trying to keep the wood from falling, most likely on top of him. Shippo looked up at Sango and stared her right in the eyes with a pleading look.

"A little help please?"he asked.

Sango giggled, realizing that there was no danger, other than Shippo being crushed by a falling pile of firewood. She smiled and took half of the pile from him. Shippo sighed in relief.

"Thanks Sango."he said.

"No problem Shippo."Sango replied.

The two walked the short way back to came and dumped the wood into a pile where the fire would be made. Once the wood was stacked in the most convenient way for it to burn well, Sango lit the fire. Luckily they still had some matches that Kagome had left behind from. The flint and steel took a long time to get a good spark to light a fire.

By the time Inuyasha and Miroku got back with their fish, the fire was crackling and dancing energetically. Sango began to cook the fish and while she did Miroku told Inuyasha about everything that had happened in the past few weeks since Inuyasha had left them. Inuyasha didn't seem at all surprised when Miroku told him that he and Sango had gotten married just a short while earlier. He even told them that he and Kagome had been betting on when they would marry, actually it wasn't much of a bet because they were both guessing the same thing. At the mention of Kagome though Inuyasha became all quiet and reserved again. After that they all went to bed.

-Next Day-

They arrived at the exterminator village at around midday. Inuyasha was back in his hanyou form. Inuyasha was ready to get to work, anything to get Kagome off of his mind. But, the others wanted their rest from the long walk from Kaede's village to Sango's. So Inuyasha had no choice but to sit around and try to entertain himself for the rest of the day.

(that was kinda pointless)

-A Few Weeks Later-

The exterminator village was coming along nicely and quickly. It helped having a hanyou help, of course. The wall surrounding the village had been rebuilt completely and was more strong than before with the help of Miroku's barrier. Sango had been ridding the area around the village of any demon she came upon. But she was put out of commission a few days earlier by Miroku after finding out she was pregnant with their first child. Miroku was over joyed but would not allow her to do any heavy work. So she was stuck doing little things with Shippo like planting the fields and stuff like that.

A few traveling exterminators that had somehow heard about the rebuilding had come to help and be a part of the once great extermintator village. One even came with his family of a wife and three children, two of them young. In all there were about five young men and their families. Sango's dreams were coming true. But she was still somewhat sad sometimes because she couldn't share these dreams with her best friend.

(can't think of anything else, so …….yea.)

A/N: sry this kinda sux…. I was gonna update a lot sooner (when I actually had a good idea) but couldn't. this chapter mights suck, but don't stop reading cuz the next chapter will be a lot, lot better, well more descriptive and stuff at least.
