Many meetings

"That's one human and one hanyou. Where are the others kid?" asked Inuyasha.

"Hey Sakura, Gaara! Come down already! These guys aren't as mean as you used to be Gaara!!" called Naruto.

Gaara looked as if he would have killed Naruto on the spot if he had the chance! He couldn't hold back the retort that came to his mind.


"Very funny, coming from the only ninja in Konoha to wear an outfit that screams KILL ME," Gaara growled.

Sakura couldn't help but agree with Gaara when it came to Naruto's fashion sense. What kind of shinobi wears ORANGE?! It was one of the tackiest colors ever. She and Gaara both came down out of the tree.

"What did I tell ya? Two humans and two demons!" said Inuyasha smugly.

"Um, technically four humans," said Naruto.

"Don't lie to me kid! You and the red-haired boy both carry the scent of demons!"


Naruto would have mentioned that they were the containers for demons, but he didn't want to let his friends know about the seal. Gaara on the other hand, answered Inuyasha in regards to the scent mix-up.

"We aren't demons! Both of us have demons inside our bodies. And you do not want to know how that happened," growled Gaara in annoyance. Inuyasha would have said something if the sand in Gaara's gourd hadn't shown up.

"WHAT THE…?!"

"Do you really want him to explain or would you rather keep your sanity?" commented Sasuke.

"I don't think Inuyasha ever was sane!" said a small fox-like child on the monk's shoulder.

A loud THUNK was heard and the fox-child yelled "OW! What did you do that for Inuyasha?!"

The girl in green and white said in a growl "Inuyasha…"

"Oh crap…"

"SIT BOY!!"


The rosary on his neck glowed and he promptly fell flat on his face. Naruto was stunned for a few moments before laughing at the sight! Even Sasuke smirked at the sight of the cat-eared Inuyasha falling flat on his face. Sakura looked at the girl and then said "Where can I get one of those? I could definitely use it to make Naruto behave for once…" Naruto abruptly stopped laughing. Sasuke chuckled evilly at Sakura's comment.

Inuyasha would have said a few choice comments if Gaara hadn't tensed suddenly and his sand showed up again.

"What is it now?" he griped.

"Someone or something is heading this way. Whatever it is, it ain't friendly," replied Gaara.

"What do you mean someone is coming? I don't sense anything at all."

"My sand is blocking your sense of smell. That and I can sense the killer intent in their aura from here. Whoever is coming, they don't play around."

"Is it pure evil or semi-evil?" asked Inuyasha.

"If by pure evil you mean no regard for anything other than itself, then no. This aura has a distinct pattern of killing, but not for unnecessary deaths. It appears that at least two or three others accompany him."


"Great just what we don't need…" muttered Inuyasha in annoyance.

"What is heading our way?" asked Naruto.

"My older brother. He always seems to want to kill me."

"You have a brother like that too?!" said Sasuke in surprise.

"What is yours like?" asked Inuyasha with interest.

"Mine killed everyone in my clan except me, and now I've sworn that I won't rest until he's dead."
