Chapter 5

Hate, Battle, and Love

I can't believe what Julia did! Thank goodness Alex and Lewis were there to tell us what happened. She caused such a ruckus, telling them that they had to cross the mountain to get to us. Well actually she told them that we lived on the mountain. Anyways, I had to come up with a plan that seemed like we lived on the east side of the mountain. Though it seemed like Yunee was asking for a miracle from me I managed just fine.

All I did was sing songs within range of them...

"I'm going," a rather upset Inuyasha grunted. I guess Inuyasha and Kagome had a fight. He stormed off outside where I was concealed on trees (and an anti-detecting spell). Since he was alone, no one else knew that I sang:

You're out with one girl one day

And another girl the next

Oh dmn you Inuyasha

Breaking both girls hearts

Only a bstrd like you would be so baka

However Inuyasha's friend surely did hear him screaming "WHERE ARE YOU, YOU COWARD!" They all went outside to see what was going on what was happening. Everything was going as planned, Inuyasha was already out of sight, he was running down the path of the east side of the mountain because a sword (which he believed was mine) was laying there.

"Now where is he?" Sango asked. I promised Cynthia that I would torture her as soon as possible. She didn't forgive Sango for saying all that nastiness to her. In doing so she thought up all the nastiness about Sango I just made it so it went like:

You're always lying here and there

About the one that you care

You're never trusting your fiancée

About what he's done throughout the day

You may call your man a flirt

But you're really just a dmned btch

Nobody said anything. Everyone knew who this song was for.

"Where are you?" Miroku asked. That was kind of a stupid thing to ask. Well actually that was a really stupid thing to ask. Do these idiots actually think I'll tell them? Instead of answering, I made an illusion of a blur running towards the East Side path. And thankfully, they ran after it.

Unfortunately, we didn't know that someone was trailing along behind them. Apparently this youkai was in love with Kagome or something. By the time he got to the mountain though, Kagome and the others were too far away to smell so he took a wild guess and went down the west side path.

"Melanie," Allaeyah whispered "I think someone's here." We looked out the window. Amaya pressed her ear against the window trying to hear what he was saying, but two seconds later that wasn't necessary.

"COME OUT YOUKAI! I KNOW THERE'S A BUNCH OF YOU GUYS HERE! STAND UP AND FACE ME OR ARE YOU TWO COWARDLY TO DO THAT?" Kouga shouted at the top of his voice.

"Allaeyah, Amaya" I whispered "Make sure no one comes, especially Naraku. Cynthia, Yunee, and I will be just fine."

"Okay," they whispered in unison and ran out to the back of our house.

"We better go too," Cynthia said.

"I'm ready," Yunee said. And so we went outside.

"WHAT DID YOU DO WITH KAGOME? IF YOU KILLED THEM ALL I WILL ASSURE YOU I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL TURN YOU INTO A STRESSBALL AND….."

"It's not good to bottle up your anger out like that," a voice said. I looked up. A pretty girl of about sixteen was looking down at me. She seemed full human but there was something about her that made her seem almost as powerful as Naraku.

"You know, there must be some people in Japan that can't hear you," the girl said.

"Did you kill, Kagome?" I asked.

"Kill Kagome, why would I?" She answered. "If you want proof, smell the air. There's no blood here."

I sniffed the air. She was right. There was no blood. But then I saw something in a small bottle.

"THE SHIKON JEWEL SHARDS!" I yelled.

"It's about time you noticed, Smart One" the girl said coolly.

"If you don't give them to me I'll kill you!" I growled.

"Oooh, I'm scared," the girl said sarcastically. I lunged in to attack her with my fists. She dodged out of the way and so did two other girls. I never noticed the girls until now. Both seem to be youkai.

"DIE!" I yelled. But they were ready for me. They both used spells that hit me in the stomach.

"ARRGH!" I was bleeding pretty badly. Both the spells were really strong.

"Why don't deal with this differently," said the human girl. She surprising used a spell to heal me within main condition. "We'll duel, we can use weapons or our bare hands. But we cannot attack anyone else. Whoever is unable to battle has to give up their shards, or the other person can kill them. Deal?"

I stared at her with shock. I expected her to try to kill me straight. Challenging me to a duel (and healing me) was about the last thing I expected her to do. But the duel seemed interesting to me.

"Deal," I said.

We stood on a path without any obstacles that was perfect for battle.

"Ready?" she asked.

"You bet," I said.

"GO!" we yelled at the same time.

I tried to punch her (again). However, she jumped up and raised her sword.

The girl brought her sword down on me. Unlike me, she hit her target.

"Ugh…." I said. That wasn't any old sword that she used. It had strong magic in it. No wonder she was so confident. But I could still punch her.

I kept on trying to punch her, but she somehow she just kept on jumping up.

"Ah, I'll finish this now or else I won't have dinner," she said. I just stood there hoping I wasn't her dinner.

Then she used her sword to do a powerful attack on me. The sword part at least didn't hit me full blast. But then, magical jewels flew out of the sword like spears and it did hit me. I fell down and was unable to get up.

"NOOO!"I cried.

"I'm afraid I have to take your shards," the girl said. She bent down and took the two shards from my leg. The two other girls came up and looked at me. One of the girls cast a spell on me.

"Are you trying to kill me?" I asked.

"No, there is no need to. But, if you mention anything about this to Inuyasha or anyone in their group as long as they don't know, you will instantly," she said.

All of a sudden I saw two shards.

"Over there," I whispered as I pointed to the shards.

The other girl that had the youkai presence took them, and asked the human girl something. Then she came up to me.

"Do you hunt down Naraku?" she asked.

"Hll yeah," I said.

"Here," she said and then she handed the shards to me. We're on the same side now." Then she healed me.

"Thanks," I said as I left.

"You know, that was really nice of you all to do that" Allaeyah said during dinner.

"Thanks," Yunee, Cynthia, and I said in unison.

"I'm just wondering Yunee," I asked "Do you like someone? I mean you're so romantic. Just wondering."

"Yeah, I do," Yunee said.

"WHO?" Allaeyah, Amaya, Cynthia, and I asked in unison.

"I'm not telling," Yunee said.

"I will find out who you like Yunee," I said in a mock creepy tone.

Oooh, I wonder who Yunee likes. Anyways, same credits as usual, Melanie: Amanda (me), Amaya: Alison, Yunee: Yunee, Allaeyah: Audrey, Cynthia: Cynthia, Inuyasha, Kouga, Sango, etc: Shouen Sunday, Rumiko Takashki, Viz, etc. Also, the songs are made up by me (and obviously this fanfic Smart One). Okes, byies!
