Hello everyone like I said I am back with another chapter! Woohoo! So since the a couple days ago I had 11,970 views and right now I have 12,234. You guys are amazing! Thank you!

So the next Chapter may be this weekend coming or beginning of next week depending on what happens... Now that's out of the way let's get the disclaimer out of the way so you can read the next chapter.

Disclaimer I do not own any of the Inuyasha plots or characters but I do own my own plot twists and characters, my OC's are; Mira, Mitsuhiko, Tadashi (aka; Akumu - means Nightmare) and Kimica (aka; Gekido - means rage) then the two that have been heard of but not seen (Taro and Narumi) ok so that's it. Enjoy guys!

Chapter 23: An Issue of Dominance.

Inuyasha's view:

"Tch you think you're so high and mighty but if you were meant to lead us then Mitsuhiko would have said so that means you're not worthy" I puffed "Well he didn't chose you or that human woman either so you shut your face" Kimica snapped "Shut up both of you!" Koga snapped. "We have to get along and work together" Sango said "If we don't we'll all be still stuck here while Naraku causes more chaos" Miroku said "You don't have to like us Gekido but you do have to learn to work with us" Kagome said. She frowned as she turned her back on us "Just do what you have to and let's go" Kimica puffed Sango and Kohaku when to polish their weapons, Kirara was with them, Miroku stocked up on his sutras amongst some other things, Koga was sharpening his katana. Ginta and Hakkaku had grabbed a katana each, I wasn't sure if they knew how to use one then again I haven't seen them in a fight yet, Kagome stocked up on arrows and some supplies, such as food and herbs, Shippo was helping her. Mira picked up two Sai and twirled them around and practised with them, it didn't look intimidating but it did look elegant in a way, I smiled slightly as I looked away and over some of the things they had in the room then decided to just polish my Tessaiga.

Kagome's view:

While packing supplies, I couldn't help but miss home, how my mom would pack fresh food and double check that I had everything, I missed my mother and grandpa as well as Sota, I hope we defeat Naraku, his followers and Kikyo soon. I want to see my family again but if I go back home once I finish what I must do here will I ever be allowed back, being parted for Koga is just as bad as being parted from my family then again Koga's tribe members are also my family now. "Kagome are you ok?" Sota asked "Hmm?" I puffed as I looked at him seeing a worried look on his face I smiled "I'm fine Shippo, why do you ask?" I said "You just looked upset, I'm sorry for yelling out if I didn't maybe you wouldn't have moved and the ground wouldn't have opened up and you wouldn't have fell in the hole and got hurt" Shippo said. He looked down in shame "Shippo it's not your fault besides we're together again and we have more help now" I said he sniffled I picked him up and hugged him "It's ok Shippo" I said as I rubbed his back. "What's going on? Is Shippo ok?" Koga asked as he came over Ginta and Hakkaku weren't far behind him "Shippo thinks it's his fault that I'm hurt since I moved when he yelled out and he thinks if he didn't the ground wouldn't have opened up" I replied.

"It's not your fault Shippo, besides we're all together again and we're staying together" Koga said I smiled "See Shippo that's almost exactly what I said, please stop crying" I said "O-Ok" Shippo sniffled "Shippo why don't you go with Ginta and Hakkaku and they could teach you some things before we head out" Koga said. "Really?" Shippo said with a sparkle in his eyes I couldn't help but giggle "Go on Shippo think of it as self defense and perhaps you could teach them some of your tricks" I said "Aw! Thanks Kagome!" Shippo exclaimed as he turned back to me and hugged me tightly. Shippo then separated from me and leapt at Koga hugging him tightly "Thanks Koga!" Shippo exclaimed then jumped to the ground and ran to Ginta and Hakkaku, he's such a good kid and reminds me so much of Sota I bet they'd be best friends if they could meet. "You're very good with children" Koga said as he sat down beside me "So are you" I said he looked at me and smiled "Yeah I only wish I had time to spend with all of my tribe members then I'd have a better idea of how to deal with children a little better" Koga said. "Koga you don't deal with them you just treat them like you would anyone else with kindness and respect though children have a lot more to learn so you need to be more of a role model and have some rules but not too many" I said Koga chuckled "What?" I asked in confusion.

"Kagome, you will make a wonderful mother" Koga said I could feel my face grow hot "I don't think I'd be cut out to be a father, then again I never thought much about it until you came into my life" Koga said "Koga..." I said softly he smiled, that one smile that would just melt your heart. "Gross… Look if you two want to start that sweet talk then go home this is a mission we are on and it comes first before your lovers' embrace does" Kimica said I sighed as I looked at her "Why are you so against love? Against happiness in general?" I questioned. "Because I know for a fact that once you have something like that it, someone will turn it against you and it will be your down fall" Kimica replied "That does not mean you stop fighting, you work together and…" Koga started. "Shut it wolf boy not interested in a speech from you nor for dog breath" Kimica puffed then looked around to the others "Alright hurry it up another ten minutes and we're leaving" Kimica said aloud "We've already told you Gekido, you ain't the boss so back off" Inuyasha snapped. "Stop we've been through this before once everyone is ready then we leave until then let's not start any arguments" I said "Lady Kagome is right, we haven't even left yet and there is arguing in…" Miroku started.

Koga's view:

"Oh great lectures from humans, I'll be outside the room shout me when you're ready" Kimica said and walked out in a huff, this is going to be a very long trip if her attitude doesn't change "Tch she better change her attitude" Inuyasha growled. "You're no better Inuyasha you shouldn't snap just talk to her normally" Kagome said "In case you haven't realised you, Koga, Miroku all just spoke to her normally and she got all up tight it's better if I led" Inuyasha puffed. I rolled my eyes as I looked away this should be good to see "If you have a problem with me leading Koga say so now" Inuyasha said I looked at him "I'm a leader of a tribe, I do have experience" I said. Kagome stood in front of me as Mira stood in front of Inuyasha "Koga please let's just decide together not nominate and argue about who leads" Kagome said "Alright, I'm sorry Kagome" I said as I pulled her to me hugging her. I felt her embrace me back as I looked over at Inuyasha who was sending me a glare "Inuyasha, Kagome is right we must work together even if we don't like or agree with others" Mira said Inuyasha looked at Mira "Alright" Inuyasha said and walked away standing near the door.

Mira's view:

I watched Inuyasha stand by the door I sighed, I was meant to keep my distance and yet for some reason it hurts me to see Inuyasha talked down to and the thought of him being hurt, I just hope I can keep my distance for a little longer, long enough to see my tribe members. To see my family and friends again, I went and grabbed a small ruck sack with a few supplies some being food others small weapons that ninjas would use along with any other small items I could find that looked to be of use. After I was finished everyone else looked ready as well "Is everyone ready?" Sango asked "We're ready" Kagome replied "I'm ready" Miroku said "Mira?" Kohaku questioned "I'm good to go" I said Inuyasha opened the door and "Then let's get out of here" Inuyasha said as he walked out. We followed him out "Finished finally?" Kimica questioned "Are you finished with your tantrums?" I asked back she frowned sending me in icy glare "Watch your back" Kimica snapped then looked at everyone else. "Since your all done follow me and don't dare think about telling about this place to anyone or how to get in and out" Kimica said aloud then walked off, we all followed her down some passageways and through quite a few secure, heavily guarded doors.

Kagome's view:

After we had got out of the passageways we came out of onto a cliff face, Shippo clung to me tightly "W-We're really high up" Shippo said "It's ok Shippo, we've been in worst places" I said "Hurry up and watch your step" Kimica said as she moved along the cliff side. We followed her in single file down the cliff side "Gekido why are we going down?" Miroku asked "My brother led the others up so instead of us going in the same direction we will go down" Kimica replied. "That's a great idea we'll cover much more ground that way" Sango said "I know that's why I'm leading" Kimica puffed "You're not the leader" Inuyasha snapped "Neither are you so shut up and let's just make it down this cliff face safely without an argument" Koga said. I couldn't understand why they have to argue over who is the leader it shouldn't matter we are all meant to be working together for the same cause I sighed softly as thoughts crossed my mind about the issue. The walk down the cliff face was silent, the path narrowed more as we got further down, we had to side step as the path continued to narrow "Almost there" Kimica said at least we're almost to ground.

I stopped feeling the presence of a shard and looked to the forest it wasn't pure-well it didn't feel pure it seemed tainted like the shard Koga had in his arm a while back "Kagome what's wrong?" Koga asked just then a loud just then a loud thud sound rang out and birds screeched. A huge flock of birds flew up from the forest and away "Looks like we'll have so action soon" Kimica said "Kagome?" Koga said I looked at him. "It's a shard but it's not pure it feels like a tainted shard like the one you had in your arms ages ago" I said "Exactly how many shards about? Just the one?" Inuyasha asked "Yes only one" I replied. "I sense a demonic aura approaching and an evil one at that" Miroku said "It's a boar" Inuyasha said "It's sounds bigger than the average boar and with a jewel shard it's bound to have more strength but we can take it down no problem" Koga said. "You have to be careful if the shards tainted though" I said "We will be" Koga said "Tch like hell any of you are taking it on, this one is all mine so you can all just stand back and look pretty now let's keep moving" Kimica said we followed here down to the ground.

Inuyasha's view:

As soon as my feet hit the ground I took off towards the boar "Inuyasha wait!" Kagome shouted like I'm letting Kimica take over things she's the new one in the gang "Hey idiot what the hell do you think your doing?" Koga asked as he caught up with me. "Asking for a death wish no doubt" Kimica said as she matched our speed then sped past us, she was as fast as Koga maybe more even with the shards "Hey get back here you'll get killed!" Koga yelled. "Leave her be after she learns her lesson about being hurt by a demon who has a shard then we can kill the demon and show her a reason to let us led" I puffed "Us? I thought you wanted to led by yourself" Koga said. "Yeah I do but I guess being teamed with you could make her ego go down if we're lucky" I said "I highly doubt it" Koga puffed as we stopped when we got to where Kimica was she was a few metres in front of us. She was facing a huge boar it's tusks where as big as us alone it's back just reached below the tree tops "You two stay out of my way this big boy is mine to kill" Kimica said I frowned but my eyes soon widened seeing a blue fire surround her whole body.

Kimica's view:

I let my rage out, a blue flame surrounded my whole body, from a distance it emitted a cold feeling but the colder the air turned the hotter my fire would become, if you touched my fire a little you would receive a severe burn, I turned my palms towards each other. As I did I formed a fire wall between them the boar snorted as it dug it's right hoof into the ground, it was ready to charge, I smiled slightly "You two better move back" I said "Inuyasha move it" Koga snapped. The boar started to charge I sent out the wall of blue fire the boar squealed and started stampeding around in a circle then dropped to the ground and rolled I unsheathed my katana and let my fire engulf my blade. I went over to the boar that went to get up, I ran over and jumped as I came down I stabbed my blade down through his head, the boar collapsed to the ground "What on earth…" Miroku said "Kimica the shard it's in between his shoulder blades" Kagome said. I pulled out my blade and quickly went to it's shoulder blades and cut between them, I stuck my hand in feeling around for it, I felt a small shard I grabbed it and pulled it out "Kimica pass it to me quickly it's tainted" Kagome said as she rushed over "Don't get to close you'll burn yourself" I said.
