Chapter 2: Odd groups and sleigh cats

Disclaimer: If I owned it you would defiantly know it

She jumped into a tree and took a short nap then started running south west to a village she knew to hold a group of young travelers. It took three days to get to the village and when she got there is was night so she stopped at the edge of the village jumped into a tree and slept. In the morning she changed into one of her black silk kimonos with silver lining and a silver six point that matches the red one on her forehead. She started to walk into town but was stopped when an inu half demon jumped into her path.

"Move out of my way half breed" she sneered.

"What is your business here?" He asked in a gruff voice.

"I have come seeking a group of miss matched travelers." She replied.

"Follow me." And with that he turned around and led her to a hut on the other side of the village. When she entered the hut she was greeted with cheerful smiles from five different people. The half demon sat down along the back wall and watched Kiarra's every move. She looked around the room and saw four humans, a fox demon kit, a fire neko, and the half demon. The four humans included a demon exterminator, a monk, a young miko, and an older miko. The young miko got up and walked towards her.

"Hello my names Kagome what's yours?" Asked the miko, Kagome, in a sweet innocent voice.

"My names Kiarra, I'm from the northern lands, I'm looking for a group to travel with." She introduced herself.

"I don't think it would be a problem for you to travel with us? Guys what do you think?" Kagome asked the group sitting around the hut.

"Hi I'm Miroku, and if it's alright with you Kagome it's ok with me." Said the monk.

"Its fine with me Kagome, as long as your able to fight, I'm Sango by the way." The demon exterminator said.

"If it's ok with okaasan its fine by me, I'm Shippo, the fire fox demon and Kagome's adoptive son." Said the little fire fox kit.

"Well it's settled then, welcome to the group." Kagome said cheerfully.

"Wait a bloody minute, don't I get a say in this, I am part of the group to you know." Said a very angry half demon.

"Oh I'm sorry InuYasha, what do you think about her joining us?" Asked Kagome with a no care attitude.

"What if she tries to steal the jewel huh? Did none of ya'll think of that? Huh?" Asked InuYasha in a huff.

"What jewel?" Asked Kiarra curiously.

"Why the Jewel of four souls of course, were the group that's searching for the shards to put it back together, a couple of years ago I broke the jewel, I'm its protector." Kagome said happily. (AN: wow talk about mood swings)

"Just tell her everything why don't you, wench." Said an angry InuYasha.

"What did you just call me InuYasha?" Kagome said in a calm voice, almost to calm.

"You know what I called you bitch get over it." InuYasha bit back.

"InuYasha…sit! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!...HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU MY NAME IS NOT WENCH, WHORE, SLUT, BITCH OR ANYTHING ELSE YOUR LITTLE BRAIN CAN THINK UP! MY NAME IS KAGOME…KA...GO...ME!" Kagome screamed at the InuYasha shaped crater in the ground. That was left by InuYasha as Kagome used the subduing necklace to get her point across to him.

"Well anyway welcome to the group Kia…I can call you that right?" A cheerful Kagome asked a very stunned Kiarra.

"Yea sure if you wish to…hey do ya'll know of a lady named Kaede?" asked Kiarra after she was over the shock of seeing a mere human over power a half demon.

"I'm here child what do you need?" Asked the elderly woman Kaede.

"Oneechan, when have you ever called me a child?" Asked an amused Kiarra, her red tail swishing back and forth as if nothing in the world mattered except for it. (An: yes her tail has a mind of its own)

"Oh my! I didn't recognize you oneesan, I'm sorry!" Said a surprised Kaede. Kiarra walked over to her and gave her a hug "Kaede age has not done you any justice." Said Kiarra with a giggle as she released Kaede from a hug.

"If she knows Kaede she must be old, by god." Mumbles InuYasha as he climbs out of the crater made by him. Kiarra shot him a glare that promised a slow death, and at that he decided to cease his mumbling.

"Kaede it's been far to long my sister how have you been?" Kiarra asked cheerfully.

"It has been long, I'm getting along good and you my sister?" Asked Kaede.

"Father has tried once again to marry me off, this time to the Lord of the east's monkey shit of a son." Kiarra answer with slight venom in her voice.

"Oh my! When will Lord Taka ever learn he can't marry you off to the other Lords and there sons, I think by now his tried every lord and sub lord there is except the lord of the West?" Said Kaede sadly.

"I'm not sure Kaede but it is getting late and I think it would be in all of our best interests to get to sleep. Are we leaving in the morning?" The last part she asked to Kagome.

"Yes were leaving in the morning when I return from my time, I agree with Kiarra we all need to go to sleep." With that said everyone got out their bed rolls and laid down waiting for sleep to over take them.
