A/N: Sorry for not updating sooner! My computer decided it hated my files and deleted them. Oh, and sorry for the EXTREMELY short chapter. Writer's block sucks. Okay! Seth, do the honors!
Seth: Kira Clearwater does not own Inuyasha or me, Seth the Jolteon.
Me: Thanks buddy!
Kagome jumped down the well after a week of catching up in the present era. Inuyasha, as always, helped her out. She gave a sunny smile and thanked him. Sango, however, could feel the different vibes being let off by Kagome and Miroku noticed it, too.
"Miroku, have you noticed that Kagome seems… off, somehow?"
"Actually, dear Sango, I have. On the outside, Kagome appears to be her normal self, but in reality, there is turmoil in her spirit." Miroku nodded sagely. Shippo bounced onto Inuyasha's head, "Hi, Kagome!"
"Hello Shippo!" Kagome opened her arms and Shippo jumped into them. She gave him a squeeze. Kagome then turned to Miroku and Sango, "any luck with finding the shards yet?" They shook their heads, "sorry, Kagome. We haven't found any." Suddenly, they turned when an explosion sounded.
"Hey! Oi, Inuyasha, I finally found you!" Kagome readied her bow and quiver, and Sango reached for Harikotsu as the Band of Seven, or the Band of Three now, entered the clearing. Kagome felt her heart pick up a few beats as she saw Bankotsu. Inuyasha noticed this, too, but pushed it off as fear.
'Dang, he is actually quite hot,' Kagome thought, finally seeing the mercenary in a new, unbiased light.
"Koinu~!" a feminine voice called. Inuyasha twitched spasmodically as Jakotsu skipped into the battlefield.
"Shit…" Inuyasha swore, dodging the mercenary's hug.
"Aw… oh well! I call your cute ears my Koinu!"
"Oh HELL no!" Inuyasha yelled, while he pulled out his sword. Kagome readied her bow, and shot at Suikotsu, who dodged.
"Wench!" Jakotsu screeched as the dodged arrow almost cut through his face, and lodged into a tree.
"KAZE NO KIZU!" Inuyasha called and the attack was on a straight path for Jakotsu. Suddenly, Bankotsu jumped in front and shielded himself and Jakotsu from the Kaze no Kizu with his sword.
'Huh, just as I thought. He is quite loyal to his comrades. Unlike a certain someone…' Kagome glared at Inuyasha for a second, before returning her attention to the battle.
Well, shit. That failed. Reviews are my fuel!
