Disclaimer: I don't, unfortunately, own any of the Inuyasha char. So you'll have to put up with my OC Ami, Malon Karinkishin, Rain, and more to come.

WW:: Well now lets see... I got ... 1 new review... Leads me to wonder if it's really worth typing all these chapters up for no one to read them. An author's worst nightmare! That and plagiarism. Come on. LEAVE REVIEWS PEEPS!!!

*huff huff huff*

Sesshoumaru: *Pats head* Its okay, shhh. *winks at audience* (Mental note: WW is scary when she's mad, be careful )

Chapter 15 - Invisible Flame -

Inuyasha, Kagome and Miroku had finally crossed the mountains and now stood in almost the exact same spot Ami, Sesshoumaru, Malon, and Koga had stood some 7 days before.

"Wow. Look at all those hills!" Kagome exclaimed. "I don't think I've ever been this far into your brothers land before Inuyasha."

"Half brother." Inuyasha snorted disdainfully.

Miroku looked at the expanding scenery in awe. It really was amazing, what a wonderful landscape it was. He sighed quietly thinking of Sango.

"Lets get going." Inuyasha prompted.

And so the threesome continued westward tracking Sesshoumaru and Ami.

** With Ami and the gang **

She took the splint off her leg and stretched it out then did summersaults; tumbles, back flips and any other gymnastics move she could think of.

"Ah! Mush better!"

He wound wasn't the only one that had healed. Sesshoumarus' gashes had finally disappeared. Ami was happy. Se felt much better about things now that everything was back to normal, more or less.

(AN:/: Ami's leg healed quickly because she was in such close contact with a tone of demonic power. :/: )

Koga lifted Ami onto his shoulder and Malon hung on to Sesshoumaru. They once again raced off through the hills.

The wind rushed past them and Ami found a way to amuse herself while the demons ran.

She watched Sesshoumarus' silver hair whip around gracefully. She would try to make out shapes and images. It was kind of like cloud watching but in changed faster. She smiled childishly in his direction.

Koga suddenly tripped and Ami went tumbling. She sat up and shook her head clear.

"What the fuck!" Koga growled as he lay on the ground, his right foot was embedded in the ground up to his ankle.

"Koga, you okay?" Ami crawled back to him.

Sesshoumaru let Malon slide off his back and they went to join Ami as she kneeled and tried to help Koga pull his foot lose.

As he approached something in the back of his mind flashed. He stopped a little ways away from the others and looked around. Something wasn't right. He looked down at Ami and the others. He concentrated on finding jut what was making him feel uneasy.

Koga grabbed his ankle and pulled with all his strength but it still would come lose.

"Damn! What's with this!"

Malon came around and pulled as well.

"Man! It just won't come lose!"

"Here, let me try!" Ami stepped up to take a crack at this sword-in-the- stone type game.

She grabbed hold of his leg, just above the ankle and gave it a sharp tug.

Sesshoumaru was watching as she tugged the foot. And it seamed that her hands temperedly erupted in almost invisible flame. He blinked and his ears twitched as he thought her heard a shrill shriek and a sizzling sound.

Kogas' foot slid out of the ground.

"Whew!" Ami said, "I was starting to get worried."

Koga nodded and then looked down at his foot. There was, what seamed to be, a mark where a hand had griped the part of his foot that had been underground.

"Weird!" Malon commented as he looked at Kogas' foot.

Koga stood and jumped on his one foot then placed the other next to it.

"Yeah." Ami said.

They all sat there for a moment. Sesshoumaru still standing off to the side.

'Didn't they see it?' he thought 'hm..'

Ami looked at him.

"Something wrong Sesshy?"

He looked down at her. "No."

"Aright." She said as she turned and stood up.

"Come on guys, we got to keep going."

They paired up again. Malon, Koga and Sesshoumaru all seamed to be lost in thought. But Ami sat on Kogas shoulder and smiled as she went back to her picture game in Sesshoumarus hair.

** Off in that cave again ** The cat hanyou sat next to her crystals. her hands waving around franticly because they had been burned once more.

"How is the enemy able to repel my magic so?"

"Is ther a problem Rain." A deep voice commented form the entrance to the cave.

"My lord Karinkishin!" The cat hanyou stood quickly and smiled brightly as her master glided into the room.

"What's this about repelling magic?" karinkishin questioned.

The hanyou showed her master her hands. They were singed and red.

"Ah. I should have expected her to have power."

"But my lord, it is not the power of a miko or demon!"

"Hn?"

"Her power doesn't effect demonic power or she would not be traveling with two demons!" Rain explained top her lord.

"So what kind of poser dose she poses if it doesn't affect demons or have demonic power?"

"I am not of knowing lord. But I thinks it will surface if we push it!"

The hanyou grinned wildly at the prospect of getting to exert so much magic at once.

"Not now Rain." Karinkishin said.

Rain frowned a little.

"Let your hand heal. I will send Sessoru to stir up trouble. He hasn't been out since he destroyed those villagers east of the mountains.

"Yes my lord." Rain smiled again.
