Disclaimer: I don't the Inuyasha characters…and I still don't know if I own Kilala's personality. I know I own Kyoko though.

Chapter Five: Accusations

Back at the village, Sango had begun to worry about Kilala; she'd been gone for over three hours now.

"Do you think something happened to her?" asked Sango worriedly. "Maybe I should go look for her."

"No Sango, you have to rest," said Kagome sternly, "I'm sure Kilala's fine."

"Hey Kagome, Sango!" called Shippo, from outside. "Kilala's back and it looks like she brought someone or something back with her. I can't tell what it is though."

As Sango and Kagome struggled to get up, Kilala landed, let Inuyasha and Miroku off, and then greeted Shippo.

Shippo stared at Inuyasha and Miroku, "These aren't Inuyasha and Miroku. Kilala, why did you bring back strays?"

"Strays?" echoed Kagome and Sango, from the doorway.

Immediately, Inuyasha and Miroku saw how badly hurt Kagome and Sango were.

Inuyasha thought, angrily, she shouldn't be up! "Kagome go back to bed now!" yelled Inuyasha, but to everyone expect Miroku and Kilala it just came out as a much of barks and growls.

"They don't seem very docile," commented Sango, looking disapprovingly at them.

"Nice going, Inuyasha," remarked Miroku sarcastically.

"I'll take care of this," said Kilala, and then went over to Sango.

Sango looked at Kilala and inquired, "What is it Kilala? Something about this two?"

Kilala mewed and nodded.

Sango looked the two dogs over again, "Kagome, maybe these two are Inuyasha and Miroku," suggested Sango.

"They figured it out!" exclaimed Inuyasha.

Miroku remarked happily, "I knew my Sango was a clever one."

"You should try saying sit, if one of the dogs 'sits' then we know he's Inuaysha and the other's Miroku," commented Shippo.

I'm finally grateful for this stupid necklace, thought Inuyasha.

Kilala thought, Kyoko wouldn't make it that easy to break her spell.

Kilala was right too, for when Kagome said, "Sit boy," nothing happened to Inuyasha.

"Looks like they're just dogs, "observed Sango, disappointment in her voice.

"Why didn't it work?" asked Miroku.

Inuyasha snapped, "How should I know!"

"It's Kyoko's doing," explained Kilala, "She must have had enough power to render the 'sit' necklace useless. That means she knows a lot more about us then we think."

"What are we going to do with these two?" inquired Sango.

Kagome looked at the two dogs, they look so miserable; I wonder what happened to them? She knelt down in front of the white husky (Inuyasha) and looked him in the eyes, something about this dog…seems so familiar… like I know him. "I think we should take them with us," replied Kagome, and then asked Inuyasha, "Do you and your friend want to come with us?"

Inuyasha moved closer to Kagome and then nuzzled against her.

"I think that's a yes," observed Shippo.

As Inuyasha nuzzled Kagome, Miroku asked, "Inuyasha, what are doing?" and then smirked.

Inuyasha realized was he was doing and that he was doing it in front of everyone. So we backed away from Kagome slightly, and then blushed and 'feh'd'.

"Well what should we do now, Kagome?" inquired Sango.

"Let's go take a bath," suggested Kagome, clapping her hands together happily.

"That sounds great," said Sango, as picked Kilala up

"I want to come to!" exclaimed Shippo.

Sango commented, "I think Kilala needs a bath too."

Inuyasha and Miroku both tried to stifle laughs, only to have Kilala glare at them.

"What are we going to do with these to though?" asked Sango, as she glanced over at the two dogs.

Kagome answered, "Well we can't just leave them here, so we might as well take them with us. Beside they reek!"

Miroku grinned widely and got that perverted look in his eyes.

Kilala went wide-eyed before, sighing heavily. Well there went my chance to enjoy a bath. Now I'm stuck watching these two!

As for Inuyasha, he just gaped, me in a bath…with KAGOME?!

Please review!!
