"W hat?! Naraku...here?! "
" That's huff what I pant said, isn't wheeze it?" said an exhausted Hakudoushi.
"He's got some nerve...and a death wish!" Inuyasha was agitated, and didn't have his blade with him. He had nothing but claws to defeat Naraku this time around. And obviously enough, Kagome hadn't brought her bow and arrow to the mall.
"Sango and Kanna are the only ones who brought their weapon, and we can only hope her Boomerang Bone is enough. But by the time Sango realizes her situation, Naraku may have already destroyed half the mall! " Kagome exclaimed in worry.
"They cannot fight here...that much is for sure. Innocent people...are all around us."
The group had to agree with Kanna . Following her to Sango + Miroku's location thanks to her mirror, they were off.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Lady Sango, isn't that Naraku?!" Miroku shouted to his shopping companion, shocked and in bewilderement. Thinking that her last slap might have hit a bit too hard, she looked back expecting to see nothing.
"W-wh- what?!!!?!??!"
Kirara, who had been on Sango's shoulder, leaped off and grew to demon form, startling all those surrounding her. Miroku got on the demon-kitty's back. He couldn't use the wind-tunnel. Not here. Not now.
Sango readied herself and drew Hiraikotsu. But she just let out a "Huh..?" when Naraku ignored them and ran squealing into the shop.
After getting over the shock, Kirara reverted to normal and Sango put back her over-sized boomerang. "Can we simply let this go...? I think we should tail him incase he does something dangerous or isn't just here to shop. (didn't see that coming) "
Sango started walking away, making it obvious she wished to resume shopping. "Sango!" Miroku shouted, looking quite serious. He ran after her and ended up rubbing her glutius maximus a.k.a butt again. After getting a red slap-mark on his face, he carried out his plan, wasting what he knew was probably the last day he had at the mall.
- - - - - - - - -
Kagome had made it clear with a creepy glare and an earshattering yell, as well as a buncha sits to Inuyasha who complained. They were NOT going back to the mall.
The group was dissapointed. They hadn't even managed to get anything decent, what with Inuyasha repeatedly being sit, and fighting with Koga the other day, Sango fighting over shoes with Kagome and continuoslyt slapping and KO-ing Houshi-sama, said monk groping girls and being knocked out, and being the slow shoppers they are, Kanna and Hakudoushi buying nothing.
Which brings us to a parting with the humorous part of the story. Back to the crappy, yukkity romance! Probably no reason to continue reading the story either. -

"I..."
Kanna looked down and bit her lip. She couldn't bring herself to say it.
"I...want to thank ...you again, H-Hakudoushi." she quickly improvised.
Hakudoushi, on the other hand, was a bit disappointed. He half-expected for her to kiss him. But Kanna's just not that type of girl.
"Don't...Don't mention it."
There was a loud rustle in the leaves, to which the two immediately turned their attention. "Inuyasha!" Kagome said in a hushed scream.
Hakudoushi looked annoyed, growing angrier by the passing second when he spotted two gray dog ears (looking very satisfying to touch, mind you) poking out of a rose bush. Kanna was looking away, blushing a bit!
Kagome, not thinking about blowing their cover, shouted Osuwari and a loud thump was heard as the dog boy's face connected to the ground in a painful matter.
"Y-you guys..." Hakudoushi fake-chuckled, and it was quite obvious, for his eyebrow was twitching, his eyes narrowed, and that whole 'I'm gonna kill you' look was on his face as well as a noticeably forced smile.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hakudoushi was staring into space the rest of the day. By the look of Kanna, despite her lack of emotion, it was still clear to anyone with half a brain that she had something she wanted to say.
"-doushi! Hakudoushi!" The sound of a familiar demi-demon's angry shout sure brought him back to Earth. "What's wrong with you?! I've been shouting your name for over five minutes!"
Inuyasha was certainly not pleased. Kagome walked up and said, "Hakudoushi, we're going back to the fuedal era." She handed him a jewel shard, which for once, the glowing pink aura didn't turn dead black in his palm. He was changing, wasn't he?
Hakudoushi clenched the hand that held the jewel into a fist and jumped through the well, a bit troubled, quite a bit after everyone else.
Kanna leaned against a tree stump, her mirror in her lap, as she gazed into it with vacant, emotionless white eyes. They fixed on Hakudoushi the moment he stepped forward from the well. She had told the others she would catch up as Kagome climbed onto Inu's back while he took off running and Sango & Miroku climbed onto the now demon-formed Kirara.
"uh-" she began.
Hakudoushi took both her hands in his and pulled her up. "Kanna, what's wrong?" He sounded very serious.
Kanna looked down at the ground once more. "I'm...leaving." That certainly caught his attention.
Making no attempt to explain herself, she slowly removed her hands from his oustretched ones, looked up at him with a look that almost looked like a tiny plea, and off she went.
Of course, he chased after her. But she was gone with the wind. Nothingness Kanna was gone. He looked into the mirror that she had left behind. Not that it could help him find Kanna...it only worked for her... but he swore by it that he was not letting all they'd been through since she betrayed Naraku go down the drain. He was GOING to find her...he looked back in the direction of Inuyasha's group. ...And he was doing it ALONE.

ELSEWHERE IN THE FUEDAL ERA
"Koga? Are you sure you're all right?" Ayame asked, her voice wracked with worry,
"Fine." Koga replied, his voice containing as much anger and disgust as he could muster. He remembered jumping in to save Kagome from Inuyasha and getting hit by his bloody talons. There was still a sharp pain in his shoulder. (Inuyasha was sit more times than you can shake a stick at this doggy boy, at least until he snaps it in half and glares at you...)
Koga mumbled to himself, "Dumb mutt..."
