Looking back on this, I realize how ridiculously fast-paced and out of character this story is. Nevertheless, I shall continue it! :3

The bowl of miso soup was harshly set down on the table once Hakudoushi was finished inhaling it. "The check?" A friendly voice, like maple syrup dripping into a sink, sounded from beside him. The kind elderly man that had served him his food held out his hand in a gentle manner. Hakudoushi barely succeeded in his forced smile, when suddenly his claws dashed out and slaughtered the man. Hakudoushi landed on his feet from the attack and looked up in alarm, realizing what instinct had led him to. The transition to good was not easy, and it was frightening what he had been accustomed to. He palmed his face and made his way out the door. A wrinkly arm prevented him from passing. "The check?" it repeated. When Hakudoushi turned in fear, the man replied, "Come now, you didn't really think you could kill ME, did you?"

Kanna surveyered her surroundings, her arms awkwardly folding to where her mirror should have been held. Kagura quickened her pace, seeming very uneasy. "Kagura?" the shorter companion asked quietly. Kagura's lips remained shut tight and she grabbed an arm of Kanna's, moving up to a sprint. The next moment, the sliding door was shutting behind them as they were enveloped in a small room with dim light. Two futons were layed down on opposite sides of the room.
"I've been waiting to talk with you, my sister."

"This is all YOUR fault!!" ranted Kagome. Despite the powerful new ally of Naraku and the demon himself being directly in front of them, Kagome was much more caught up in Inuyasha.
"Just what is going on with you?!" Inuyasha challenged in his defense. Sango threw her boomerang in desperation and watched it be batted down effortlessly by their opponents.
Spotting a single poisonous bee, Miroku bluffed his wind tunnel by holding up the enchanted hand. "We just fought with you, Naraku! You took our jewel shards. What is it you still wish from us?" Miroku managed to get out in his polite manner.
"The cute little fox." whimpered Shoumaru. While the strongest of Naraku's incarnations, Shoumaru's eccentric behaviour was unusual, to say the least. He was thinking only of kidnapping Shippo. Naraku didn't seem to be there for the same reason, yet allowed Shoumaru, with comical twinkles in his eyes, to lunge for the tiny shape-shifter.
"Gah!" Shippo was only saved by Kagome's quick break from her argument to pin Shoumaru with an arrow. "Ooooh...a boo-boo! I want nothing to do with you!" eyed the odd creation sadly, plucking the arrow from where it plunged him in the side. "I'll be back, fox!" (no...he's not gay/pedophilic/whateva else it may seem like...)

Sesshomaru immediately sensed the boy hiding behind the cave wall. He merely didn't care about his prescence. "L-Lord Sesshomaru! It seems a pony-tailed, sickle-wielding, Naraku-following child has followed us!" Jaken exclaimed in a slightly hushed tone, knowing as well.
"Hm?" Rin sheepishly asked.
"Kohaku." offered Sesshomaru.
"Kohaku's here? Kohaaakuuu!" she called out, her cry echoing through the walls.
"You stupid girl! He wouldn't want to see you!" Jaken yelled in disapproval. Kohaku quickly made his escape from there, watching Sesshomaru stare him off. It was true he didn't want to see her. But not for an entirely explainable reason.

WOAH AN EVEN SHORTER CHAPTER THAN ALWAYS
I 've always wanted an evil character that acts like Shoumaru, but Jakotsu didn't quite cut it.
