Chapter 3

The sun shone brightly in her eyes when Kristine opened them the next morning. Someone was poking her with a stick on her cheek. Swatting the stick away, she sat up seeing Inuyasha holding the stick.

"What was that for?" She asked him.

"How long are you gonna sleep? Until nine?" He asked sarcastically.

"What time is it?"

"It's around 8:30," he guessed.

"What! I usually sleep in until 11 on weekends."

"Jeez you're lazy," he said with a smirk.

"I am not, I work and I go to the gym 2 times a week!" She yelled at him.

"humph whatever you say, your father is waiting for you by the way." (I just realized that rhymed. I see those kinds of things). Rubbing her eyes, Kristine jumped to her feet and stretched towards the sky. Looking around she sees everyone is packed and ready to get on their way. She saw her father leaning against a tree that leads to a path. She walked up to him and stood beside him.

"What are we gonna do now?" she asked him.

"I'm gonna ask Inuyasha if we can join their group. We will have the supplies we need and will have a little company."

"That sounds better than just walking without anyone to talk to," she exclaimed.

"Go pack you things while I ask Inuyasha and his group," he said with a grunt.

"Okie dokie then," she said going off to pack. She turned to see her father and Inuyasha having a deep conversation about the trip. She sighed and returned to what she was doing. She felt a tug on her shirt and looked down. The fox demon named Shippo was looking at her with big gleaming eyes.

"Hello, what do you want?" she asked.

"Ummm…… since you are coming with us, do you mind if I get to know you better."

"Sure, ask away," she said bending down to the level of the fox demon.

"Well, let me think. Okay a really simple question. What is you favorite food?"

"Hmm…. Well that's a good question; I like a lot of different food. But my all time favorite would be tacos."

"What is a taco?"

"You have never heard of a taco before? You are missing out then. A taco is meat, cheese, lettuce, with sauce in a tortilla shell that can be soft or hard."

"That sound really good! Can you make it for me sometime?"

"Sure, I'll be happy to. My turn to ask the questions now, what is you favorite color?"

"That's an easy one, its red, how about you?"

"Mine is purple, but red is my second favorite color." While they were talking away with random questions about themselves, Inuyasha and her father were done with their conversation. Her father strode up beside her and cleared his throat to her to stop this meaningless bickering to the demon.

"He has agreed that we can come along with them. We are heading west, and while on our journey, you will be training to be a better warrior."

"No one asked me if I wanted to be a warrior. That's not fair."

"Life is always unfair as you go along. Get used to it, now let's start walking. We have a long day ahead of us." He really doesn't know how to be a father very well. Kristine thought. The road ahead was a long with different creatures and people coming into their lives. Continues……. In chapter 4.
