AKN: We have some new cast members today!

Youko: We don't have to go pick them up do we?

DDL: I thought ahead and gave them the address so that we won't have to go anywhere near the tour bus with AKN concious.

AKN: Why would I go near the tour bus while unconcious? I wouldn't be able to... -in deep evil voice- kill all my friends who are laughing behind my back. Oh yeah, people I hate too. -normal voice- pick up all my cast members so that we can be on a reality t.v. show!

Kurama: Did...Did she just say what I think she said?

Mihi-chan: So thats what subliminal messaging is!

DDL: Neat trick huh? I taught her that! -looks proud-

Alicia: I taught you that first though.

Person in black cloak: I taught you that first.

AKN: What is Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts ( Don't own it or anything else) Doing here? Get the hell out!

Xemnas: I am pouting since you cannot see my face under this hood. I will return.

DDL: It took me a day to beat that game. It was awesome. It took me two days of no sleep to beat the second one though.

AKL: Was it worth it? And where are the new cast members? Find out at the end/center of this chapter! I do not own Inuyasha, or much of anything for that matter. As a matter of fact, I believe the rent is due on my brain. ANd I need to trade in my soul, it's so pricy...

CAST: O0O;

Yukina sat at the kitchen table, with the earpiece of the phone held to her ear. The room was wrapped in an icy coldness, and she had a very uncharacteristic look of anger on her face.

"You mean he actually had the nerve to touch you? A shrine maiden?" Yukina asked as malice filled her sweet voice like a venom.She paused, listening intently to the person on the other end.

"He had the nerve to ask you to marry him afterwards?" Yukina replied as her voice thundered through the large house. Alicia stepped into the kitchen, again preparing to make herself some strawberry milk. She ignored Yukina's conversation; until when she was about to walk out of the kitchen.

"That's it! I'm coming over there to kill him! He makes me angry just hearing about his stupid stunts! I'll see you in a bit." Yukina said and hanged up the phone. Yukina turned toward Alicia.

"I'll be at the Sunset shrine; here is the number in case you need to get a hold of me. Please tell me if Hiei says anything about me." Yukina said as her face once again settled into its pleasant indifference and her voice became its usual cheery tenor. Alicia watched her for a minute, and then nodded.

"Please be sure to have a safe trip Yukina-san." Alicia replied as Yukina left the kitchen. Mihiro walked into the kitchen again.

"Hey, Alicia, Kurama went on ahead to the shrine, I told him we would follow up behind him after he left, and we can't find Hiei." Mihiro said as he took a seat at the table, Alicia doing the same across from him.

"Why don't you put on some civilian clothes while I finish my milk and then we'll go?" Alicia suggested between sips of her strawberry milk.

Mihiro stood and nodded, then left to go put on some more normal clothing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, are you sure Seki's still at the shrine?" Mihiro asked as he walked with Alicia down the busy sidewalk.

"Yes." Alicia replied as her eyes wondered over the heads of the crowds of people walking on the sidewalk.

"Are you positive?" Mihiro asked with a worried look. He had never been farther into the city than the soup shop down the street from the shrine

"Yes." Alicia replied as she waited for a light to change at the crosswalk. Mihiro sighed and followed Alicia.

"Hey, Alicia, why were you covered in that red stuff earlier?" Mihiro asked curious about what happened.

They walked down the street in silence for a while 'til finally Alicia stopped in front of a shop called "Milkshake Heaven".

"It happened around here," Alicia started, "I got a Jumbo Large Strawberry Milk and walked out with the food bags in my other hand. Yukina ran right into me as I was walking home. The strawberry milk spilled all over me and the food went rolling all over the sidewalk and street. Yukina was being chased by some thugs so I beat them up and took Yukina back to our place."

Those men will probably never touch another human being again. Thought Mihiro as they continued walking down the street.

"We're here." Alicia stated as she stopped in front of the steps of a shrine. Mihiro stepped around Alicia and stared up at the top of the steps. They were the same length as the steps at the Tsukino Shrine, so he would be able to climb the steps just as easily as if he were at home.

"Shall we climb?" Mihiro asked as he grinned at Alicia. Alicia watched Mihiro begin climbing up the steps.

"You know, you almost fell down our shrine steps six times before I finally transported us to the bottom. We will not be climbing." Alicia stated as she grabbed Mihiro around the waist to stop him from falling over the third step. A swirling wind tunnel formed behind them as Alicia dragged a struggling Mihiro into the vapor.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kagome-chan! How have you been?" Yukina said as she embraced another girl. She was about five feet five inches tall exactly, with thick black hair to her waist. She had big chocolate brown eyes and pale skin.

"Oh Yukina, it's so good to see you again. I've been fine, how is the search for your brother going?" Kagome asked as she held Yukina at arms length and looked at her.

Yukina did the same to Kagome.

"Oh, I found him; he's just being stubborn and not admitting to it." Yukina said nonchalantly. As she finished this sentence, the leaves of the Goshinboku they were standing beside rustled as if someone had almost fallen out of the tree. They stared at it for a bit, and then continued their conversation. As they were chatting, a young man walked up to them.

"Hello. My name is Seki Natsurugi. What is your name my fair lady?" asked Seki with a deep, easy going voice. He wore dark sunglasses so that you couldn't tell what his eye color was, but his hair was black with a blue sheen.

"Oh, m-my name is Yukina Jaganashi. It's a pleasure to meet you Natsurugi-san." Yukina stammered as she blushed profusely. Seki went down on one knee and took her elegant hand into his larger one. He looked up at her through the dark sunglasses.

"I couldn't help but wonder...would you marry me and bear my children?" Seki asked. In a fraction of a second he was punched from four different directions. Hiei, Yukina, Alicia, and Kagome stood around the twitching body of Seki. Mihiro and Kurama stood to the side and watched.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hiei sat in one of the upper branches of the Goshinboku at a place called Sunset Shrine. After his argument with Mihiro and Kurama, he noticed his sister leaving and followed her. He watched intently as she spoke to a girl about the same height as him. He hadn't really been paying attention when he heard what his sister replied to one of this 'Kagome-chan's questions.

"Oh, I found him; he's just being stubborn and not admitting to it." Yukina said nonchalantly. When Hiei heard her say this, he almost fell out of the tree, but grabbed the limb and stilled himself in time as the two girls looked at the Goshinboku. They shrugged it off and began chatting again.

"That was pretty close, huh Hiei?" asked a soft voice from directly behind him. Hiei nodded. Hiei blinked once, twice, three times when he whirled around to face the fox.

"Stupid fox! What the Hell do you think your doing?" Hiei hissed as quietly as he could. Kurama chuckled behind his hand, and then looked at Hiei.

"You know, this is where the Shikon no Tama maiden is, right?" Kurama asked as he watched the two girls below chatting.

"Yes. I can't sense anything really powerful except for that Kagome girl that Yukina is friends withshe's a very powerful miko." The fire apparition replied to the kitsune's question. Then their conversation was interrupted when a young man introduced himself as Seki. He seemed very suspicious to the two. Maybe it was his sunglassesit looked kinda like he never took them off. Then again, his laid back personality could be considered weird too. Or maybe it was what he said next.

"I couldn't help but wonderwould you marry me and bear my children?" Seki asked. In a fraction of a second he was punched from four different directions. Hiei, Yukina, Alicia, and Kagome stood around the twitching body of Seki. Mihiro and Kurama stood to the side and watched. Alicia picked Seki up by the collar of his shirt and showed him to Mihiro.

"See. Seki-bozu is still here doing what he always does." Alicia stated, then let go of Seki's collar, allowing him to fall face first back on the ground. Mihiro stood staring for a few moments, when he realized that he recognized the person Alicia had shown to him.

"Seki! It's been so long, I thought you had died in a robbery of yours! Or at least that's what I can remember." Mihiro said as he closed his eyes and grinned. Seki, having recovered quite quickly from his injuries stood and walked over to Mihiro.

"Manatchi-chan took some of your memories with her when she disappeared." Seki stated instead of asking as he studied Mihiro for the first time in a long while. He had cut his hair.

"So it seems she has." Mihiro said, opening his eyes as he smiled sadly. Seki frowned and gave Mihiro a fierce hug. Even though he was a horrible womanizer, he still cared deeply for his friends.

"Thanks Seki." Mihiro said as he smiled up at the older man. Kagome walked over and looked at Seki.

"Don't tell me you go after pretty guys too?" Kagome asked worriedly. Seki smiled.

"I only have eyes and hands for you, koi." Seki replied cheekily as he fondled Kagome's behind. Kagome turned bright red when a whip struck out at Seki, causing him to fly back a few feet. Kagome turned to Kurama, who turned the whip back into a rose and handed it to her.

"Thank you very much." Kagome said as she looked up at the red head. A slight pink tinged the sides of her face. Mihiro looked down at Seki, who was twitching in a crater.

"Ah... poor Seki! I know how hard you try to get a girlfriend, but maybe you should try being a little more considerate of other people's feelings." suggested Mihiro as he helped Seki up. Seki looked at Mihiro.

"Feelings? People have feelings? Does this include women?" Seki asked. Mihiro raised an eyebrow while Hiei slowly raised his katana. Alicia watched the scene with an emotionless gaze.

"Yes, yes, and yes. Seki, did you never talk to Manatchi-tono about this? I thought you spoke to her...wait... I can't remember; did you ask Manatchi-tono about this?" Mihiro asked with confusion eminent on his face. Seki sighed and patted Mihiro on the head. Hiei stopped his katana, listening to the conversation. Everyone else was too.

"Ma ma, I was only joking Mihiro-kun. I did talk to Manatchi, but not about this. You poor thing, she must have taken a lot of your memories if you can't remember all those imperial conversations. You were usually quite sharp when it came to recalling these kinds of things." Seki said with sorrow in his tone. Mihiro only smiled.

"I must be a pitiful sight to behold after so long Seki." Mihiro replied still unaware of the others listening to the conversation between the two of them. Kurama glanced towards Alicia, who caught the look and nodded. Kagome, catching the gist of the situation, interrupted before Seki could continue the conversation.

"Why don't we all go in for some tea to talk and get to know each other better?" Kagome asked with a cheery smile. Mihiro turned to her and nodded, while Seki glared at Kagome so hard that she could have burst into flames.

"Why yes, I'm sure that everyone would enjoy that much better than standing out here in the sun. Thank you very much Kagome-san." Mihiro said as a few others nodded in agreement.

"Just call me Kagome, alright?" Kagome said as she led the others into the house.
