Chapter 6
Decisions
Alexis saw a log near a little stream, she went over and sat down. She thought about Inuyasha, school, and yet again, Inuyasha. 'Why do I keep thinking about him!' she pondered that question the most. Just as she was getting up to leave, she saw Naraku in all of his monkey glory, in front of her.
"Monkey!" she screamed.
"No I'm not." he replied.
"Oh yes you are!" she said.
With the…extended groupThe two brothers were arguing, again. So, somebody decided to take action.
"Will you two stop it? You don't seem to recognize that Alexis, my best friend, could be in mortal danger right now, and instead of finding her you are arguing!" said an irate Courtney. The two brothers became silent. 'That shut them up pretty quick. Alexis would be proud of me for standing up to them.'
'I can not believe that a female, a human female at that, would tell me to shut up! Who does she think she is?' thought Sesshomaru angrily. 'I wonder what is taking Jaken so long to return?' He had sent Jaken ahead to scout the area.
"My Lord! I have heard Naraku and a woman not far from here. She was calling him a monkey. It is quite funny." said Jaken as he returned from scouting.
"Show me where they are now!" growled Inuyasha. The toad took off and the rest followed.
As they crashed through the underbrush, the group heard an argument. They entered a small clearing near a stream where they saw Naraku attacking… Alexis!
"Monkey!" she yelled with glee, while dodging various attacks from the mad half-demon. "Haha! You missed!"
"If you would still and just become evil, and stop calling me a MONKEY!" he screamed while attacking.
"Monkey, monkey, monkey!" she taunted. Then, she knocked Naraku out of the tree! Naraku then sensed the others coming and quickly left. Then, while she was laughing, she saw the group!
"Courtney! Hi! Can we go home now?" said Alexis.
"NO! You are a half-demon and therefore can't go back to your time." Kagome stated.
"Oh well." shrugged Alexis.
'Well, at least she can't leave me.' thought Inuyasha. What the others didn't know was that he was falling for the other half-demon. She was his exact opposite at times and others, just like him.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE CAN'T GO HOME?" yelled Courtney. She surprised everyone, even Alexis hadn't heard her yell like that before. The three dog demons flattened their ears to their skulls in pain.
Later, near the well"That is why you can't go home. That and the prophecy." said Kagome.
"Okay." said Alexis.
"What!" shouted everyone but Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.
"I'm okay with it. My parents wouldn't understand me now. I'll get over it." she explained.
"That's not true." said Courtney. "If you're a half-demon doesn't mean one of your parents is a demon?"
"Good point, but from what I can tell both of them are human."
"Maybe one of them is wearing that concealing charm that you were wearing."
"What?" everyone shouted.
"I'm okay with it. My parents wouldn't understand me now. I'll just get over it." said Alexis.
"That's not true," said Courtney. "If you half-demon doesn't that mean one of your parents are a demon?"
"Good point, but from what I can tell both of them are human."
"Maybe one of them is wearing that concealing charm you were wearing."
"What concealing charm?" asked Inuyasha.
"Well what else could it be? By the way where's your necklace?" replied Courtney.
"AHHH! My necklace! Where did it go?" yelled Alexis.
"Maybe it fell off." suggested Sango.
"WELL, WHAT ARE WE STANDING AROUND FOR? LET'S LOOK FOR IT!" shouted Courtney. They all took off for the well.
At the Well"I found it! I found it! Wait, don't let me…" shouted Alexis, hanging over the edge of the well.
CRASH!
"Ouch!" was heard from the well thru a cloud of dust.
"Opps…Sorry Lexi." said Inuyasha, sheepishly. When she didn't yell at him, he got kinda worried about her. He looked over the edge of the well and saw… no one!
"SIT BOY!" shouted Alexis. Inuyasha fell face-first into the well!
"What was that for? I didn't do anything!" shouted Inuyasha.
"Shall I list everything for you?" she asked. "Well first you got me locked in a shed and then you made me loose my necklace in the well. You pulled me into a river, after eavesdropping on me, and got me involved in some crazy prophecy… Did I miss forget anything Courtney?" she called from the well.
"Yeah, he dropped you into the well." Courtney replied.
"That too. Anything else? Nope, then I'm getting out." she said. When she climbed out of the well the group, excluding Kagome, Inuyasha and Courtney, thought some strange person just hopped out of the well.
"Guys, its just Alexis. In her human form she has blonde hair, not lavender." Courtney said. They nodded in understanding. Then, Alexis's insane side decided to make another appearance.
"Look, look. The monkey is back!" shouted Alexis, nobody really payed attention to her. "Fine, when the monkey attacks, I told you so!"
Later Courtney was walking around the campsite, near the village. She saw Naraku sneaking into camp.
"Naraku! Get out of here!" screamed Courtney. She ran to get Alexis. She told her about it. Then, Alexis told Courtney to hold her necklace and stay out of sight.
"Trust me. He'll use you to get me to do his bidding, and that would be really bad." she called over her shoulder.
As the battle raged on, Alexis got backed against the well and….Inuyasha pushed her in…again!
"HEY!" she screamed over the noise.
"Stay here. Please! Inuyasha called to her.
Just then, Naraku disappeared, grabbed Courtney and flew above the camp. Alexis had just gotten out of the well.
"Alexis. If you want to see your friend again, while she's alive, you will follow and do my bidding! He said and followed up with a really weird evil laugh. Then he disappeared, again.
"Now what do we do?" asked someone. That was the last thing Alexis heard before she fainted at Inuyasha's feet.
