AN: This chapter was written by me, chapter three will be written by Natchi and chapter four by me, and so on, I get the even numbers and Natchi the odd. This way we don't have to do commentaries on our chapters.

Chapter 2:

"Inuko watch…" Kikyko giggled and laughed splashing her feet in the water. Inuko joined her and threw off his haori lifting his pant legs up, tying them. "Who was that strange girl earlier, she looked just like you big brother?" Kikyko asked, lifting up her hakama as well. "I don't know Kiki, but I don't like her… the way her eyes looked, only meant trouble. If you see her again or cross paths with her, don't talk to her okay…" Inuko answered looking up at the blue sky.

"Okay," Kikyko answered and splashed her hands into the water getting Inuko wet. "Kids lunch time," InuYasha's voice bellowed from the distance. "COMING…" both Inuko and Kikyko shouted, running through the water.

"Dad, dad," Kikyko shouted running up the cliff. Inuko followed behind her pulling his arms through his haori's sleeves. "Daddy… guess what we did today?" she shouted running into his arms. He picked her up and brought her inside the house. Inuko followed, stopping near the waving bamboo door. His ears twitched and he turned to look behind him.

"Huh, strange... I thought I heard something," he said, looking up at the large tree near their home.

"Inuko move it," InuYasha shouted out after him. "COMING," he replied loudly coming through the door.

Morning came sooner than expect… Inuko was awake already and had disappeared with his father on a hunting trip. Kagome had, been hanging laundry outside with Sango, their voice had echoed through the back door. Her children weren't with her; maybe Miroku had them for the day?

Kikyko sat up and rubbed her eyes stretching her arms over her head. "Hmmm…. I think I want to go pick some flowers for momma," she said to herself, shifting to her feet. "Momma," she shouted, cupping her hands around her mouth. "MOMMA, I'M GONNA GO OUTSIDE, NOT FAR OKAY…" she shouted out at her. Kagome came through the door with an empty laundry basket in her arms, Sango followed behind.

"Don't go far Kiki were going to make breakfast soon, okay I don't want to go looking for you… stay near the house," she told her smiling. "Okay momma, morning Aunt Sango," she smiled and waved at her, running towards the door.

"La la la, la la la," she sang to herself skipping along the gravel path down to the hillside. "There's so much lovely sunflowers growing in the field, I'm going to make a large bouquet for momma and Sango," she said to herself lifting her sleeves up. She slide down the side of the cliff carefully, and stopped near the field of sunflowers.

"Hmm hm hmm," she started to hum and sing to herself while picking flowers. "Stupid girl, stop singing its pissing me off," Nina's voice bellowed from a tree. Kikyko stopped and looked up; she looked around her for the voice. "Who's there?" she shouted her arms full with sunflowers. "To your left you idiot," Nina hissed and jumped down from the tree. Kikyko turned to her left, and dropped the flowers. "It's you, big brother said I'm not supposed to talk to you," Kikyko stuttered rubbing her hands along her hakama.

"That stupid half-demon he's so dumb, he probably doesn't even know night from day," Nina ranted angrily. "I was trying to enjoy my morning but your annoying presence pissed me off," she said cracking her knuckles in to the air.

"You're stupid," Kikyko shouted at her, holding her hands into fists at her sides. "What did you say little girl?" Nina' replied angrily. "You heard me, why are you picking on me, why don't you leave me alone…" Kikyko stood her ground, and didn't move.

"Why do you look like my uncles mortal wife?" Nina asked, "Answer me!" she shouted at her. "My momma's name is Kagome, got a problem with it?" Kikyko stuttered, trying not to show fear in front of the eyes of the half-demon before her.

"Wait did you just say …. Kagome?" Nina's eyes widened with shock at her words. "Yes, my momma's name is Kagome, she's the high priestess of this village, so if you were smart you'd leave before I scream and she comes looking for me," Kikyko threatened her voice was shaky.

"Scream? You scream? I wasn't planning on hurting you, but now that you mention it…." Nina snickered and took a step towards Kikyko.

"INNNUUUKOOOO…" Kikyko closed her eyes and shouted loudly pressing her hands against her face.
