Hiya people! Sorry for the long break. I have no excuse this time. Other than Kiki went on strike, but that only lasted 3 weeks, not months.
Kiki: ya know. . . if you really want me to give you ideas faster . . .
Not that badly I'm afraid. . .
Kiki: I haven't said anything yet!
It has to do with me giving you permission to find me a 'new life' right?
Kiki: well, its like I said, its not technically new when you've never really . . .
If you say it I'm getting myself a new muse.
Kiki: well you know what I was going to say anyway. It's like déjà vu with this conversation. It just keeps going on and on.
Just do the disclaimer.
Kiki: Bitch!
Disclaimer: I pledge allegiance to Inu-Yasha, and Rumiko Takahashi, and to the genius of which it stands, one dream, under wishes of 'I own it,' pleading, one hope . . .(You get the picture)
WARNING: due to . . . personal events, this story will be under hiatus until further notice. I will write other stories, but this story has to be put off due to a conflict it's caused.
PS: people have asked me about the new summery, it's due to the plot that's starting in this chapter. And this chapter stinks. I wrote it really fast.

Deep in the lands of Naraku's death, hidden by the poison vapors, a large egg laid. The toxic gas hung over it, whispering words of the past into its shell.
As lighting struck the small creature inside moved, and almost as though the lightning had been a sign, the egg cracked.
The gas around it started to swirl and turn purple, violently pushing the egg with wails and howls as though to finish telling the creature its secrets.
The egg continued to crack and splinter until a small arm reached out through the shell. The air around it slowed and died, becoming part of the wind, until the creature stepped up through its leather shell. Then with the last of its movements, the wind whispered one last sentence to the newborn creature.
"Kill . . . Kill the half-breed hanyou . . . Kill . . . Inu-Yasha!"
The air was tense and dark. Not a creature lived there. Not a star shone. The only visible thing now was the creature, dark and small, shaped slightly like a human child.
And suddenly, with no reason, the child-creature smiled. A sick, twisted smile one might find on a murderer who has discovered the taste of blood.
"Yes . . . Yes father. . . I will avenge you. . . I will kill this mutt, Inu-Yasha . . . I will take your power as my own . . . and I will kill this hanyou . . . with what he values most and does not realize . . . Yes . . ."
"You have to wonder . . . Hey Shippo, how many shards do you believe are left?" Kenishi asked lazily.
It was another hot day. And not even the demons seemed to wish to venture out into the sun. The only clue there was any life was the Inu group. But the air around the group seemed heavy and tired. Even Inu-Yasha walked a little slower.
Shippo thought for a minute.
He, Kenishi, and Kilala had it best. Shippo and Kenishi rode one either side of Miroku's shoulders while Kilala was on Sango's. Normally they would be riding her, but none of them wanted to feel Kilala's flames today unless absolutely necessary.
"I dunno . . . We still need 2 from Kouga . . . and one from," Shippo looked back at Sango then lowered his voice for Kenishi, "Kohaku. . . But there's a rumor that a demon around here has a shard, maybe more depending on the shards size. . . but all in all that's at least 3 that we know of for sure,"
Kenishi almost burst into tears.
"Ughhhh! It's so hot! Inu-Yasha why can't we stop for a minute? I know you smell the river near by like Shippo and I do!" Kenishi yelled up at him. She had been with the group long enough to know his bark was worse than his bite, and that on a day like this all he would do was yell.
"Woah, woah, woah. Hold the phone-"
"What's a phone?" Kenishi whispered to Shippo. Shippo merely shrugged.
"- there's a river near by? And you didn't tell us? Inu-Yasha! We're so stopping. Kenishi, were is it?" Kagome fumed.
"Ah great," Inu-Yasha muttered. He looked up and yelled at Kenishi, "Look what you've started pup! We haven't found a jewel fragment in weeks, we need to keep going, and you have tuh go and tell the bitch there's a place we can stop. Damn fucking pup,"
Kenishi just rolled her eyes.
But Kagome was pissed. It was over a 110F, no one was fun in close company. They all sort of stank from sweating too. And yet the 'Great Hanyou Inu-Yasha' couldn't stop to let them at least rest for a few minutes? Not to mention because she was on her last day before her . . . 'Lady Issues' woke up she was extra sensitive so she had to walk in the back of the group. Kagome's limits were broken. She wanted so bad just to sit him . . . but no. She was stronger than this. Right?
"Don't you yell at her! It's not her fault she actually uses her brain once in a while!"
Inu-Yasha looked back so sharply his neck cracked.
"What did you say bitch?"
But he was too late. Kenishi had already pointed out the direction of the river and now everyone was walking toward it. Leaving Inu-Yasha alone. Again.
An anime vein popped out on his head and an anime sweat drop fell from his face. He made fist and started yelling.
"Were dya think yer goin'? Get back here! Kagome!"
"Okay, you've had your rest. Now lets go already."
"Inu-Yasha, I hate to point out the obvious . . . but it's dark out now. What kind of idiot walks in the middle of the night to find a jewel shard?" Shippo growled. He was still mad at Inu-Yasha for yelling at Kenishi earlier. On the plus side, Kagome was back to normal. For now.
"Why you . . ." Inu-Yasha started to get up.
"Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked gently.
He paused.
"What wench?"
"SIT BOY!" she yelled.
CRASH. They all knew it couldn't last.
"The hell wench?" Inu-Yasha screamed. But sense he was kissing dirt, it didn't sound like he was really talking. Thankfully (or maybe regretfully), the group was used to this enough that (excluding Kenishi) they all understood.
"How many times have I told you to leave Shippo and Kenishi alone?" Kagome asked, quite calmly really.
"Umm. . . well you said you wouldn't sit me anymore!" Inu-Yasha panicked. He knew a calm Kagome wasn't a safe thing for him.
"I said I wouldn't sit (CRASH) you just because I could. I made you sit (CRASH) because you were being mean to Shippo. So I had to punish you by making you sit (CRASH) down! If you would stop being so mean to Shippo and Kenishi, I wouldn't be sitting (CRASH) you so much! Who knows? Maybe if you weren't so mean to them, I wouldn't sit (CRASH) you at all!" by the end of her speech she was on her feet and screaming at the helpless Inu-Yasha.
"Ohhh . . .eh heh. . .heh. . ." Inu-Yasha twitched.
"Is he dead?" Shippo asked worriedly. Sure, he had been mad at Inu-Yasha, but he didn't want Inu-Yasha dead.
"Please, with a head as hard as his, nothing could kill him! Short of his own idiocy anyway," Kagome looked around and calmed down. "Hey, where are Sango and Miroku? They've been really quiet lately. And they keep disappearing. . ."
"Here we are Kagome!"
Kagome turned and smiled.
"Hey guys! So where have you two been . . .?"
Miroku and Sango looked down and blushed slightly. Sango started.
"Well . . . you see we-"
