A/N: Disclaimer is same as always. Don't own either of them. Another month has gone by and I have finally written another chapter for this story, and for that I am sorry. I have had a major case of writers block with this story, but I really like this story so I want to finish it. If anyone has any ideas for this story please tell me, because it would be much help! Okay so on to chapter five!

Unlike most nights of the new moon nothing happened. The rather large group got a good nights sleep and were ready to finish the journey to the village they were headed. After a breakfast of pancakes that Kagome made, the group made their way out of the village and back on the road. The rest of the trip was uneventful besides the usual echoing smacks and craters made in the dirt. By midday they had made it to the village they were looking for. Without stopping they headed to the headman's house to get more info in the demon they were sent to exterminate.

"So you're the ones that I've heard so much about? You don't look like much at all."

"Sir you will have to not judge us by our appearances. We have slain many demons, and destroyed the half demon that destroyed so much."

"Well monk I will take you for your word. If you are lying you will face the concequences."

"Bastard, I'd like to see you try anything on us."

"SIT"

"Excuse him, he's just in a bad mood from the trip. If you could just tell us where the demon is we'll do the job then be out of your hair."

"Humph…the demon is in the forest behind the village. I has been there for two months now. It has been terrorizing this village and we need it gone now."

With that the headman stomped back into his house and left the others to figure out just where the demon was. After a short walk through the village slayers and shinigami made their way to the edge of the forest. As they came to a stop to look around Inuyasha tensed.

"I smell Naraku…"

"What that's not possible."

"That was the demon you slayed right?"

"Or so we thought…"

"Hold on a minute, from what you guys told us. Naraku was not the type to just terrorize small villages. Are you sure it is him?"

"Toshiros right. Naruku would never stoop to just terrorizing small villages."

"Your right Miroku. He always sent his incarnations to do that."

"Then perhaps this is one of his incarnations?"

"It's possible, his incarnations always had his same scent."

"If we keep standing here we'll never find out."

"Inuyasha your so impatient."

"I agree with him standing here is doing us no good."

"Taichou I think Inuyasha is rubbing off on you."

"Matsumoto don't push your luck today."

"You always tell her that."

"Ughh lets just get going already."

With that captain of squad ten stalked off into the woods, with the rest of the group carefully fallowing behind. The first to reach the clearing where the demon was, was Toshiro. Standing in the clearing was a woman with blood red eyes and a fan in her hand.

"Now this is a surprise. I was sure that Inuyasha and his group would be the ones to come, but no I get a little boy. Go home kid I don't concern you."

"We'll see what you say when I'm done with you. Sit upon the frozen heavans…..Hyorinmaru!

What happened next surprised the wind sorceress. A great ice dragon appeared connected to the kid by the sword. She could feel the power radiating off this kid. How was it possible someone so small could have so much power. Not only that but there was no way she was going to be able to beat him. While she was lost in her thoughts the rest of the group had arrived and were shocked to see that Naraku's first incarnation was in fact alive.

"Kagura!"

"Ahhh Inuyasha it is a pleasure to see you again. It would seem that you have yet again added more people to your group."

"Kagura how are you alive? The last we saw Naraku had killed you."

"And why have you been terrorizing that village? Without Naraku around you can be free, why ruin it?"

"I was saved by someone, and I haven't been terrorizing the village. I took care of the one that was because it thought it would be a good idea to take me on."

"Ohh"

"Are you going to just sit there and talk all day or are we going to settle this?"

"Impatient little one aren't we?"

"Who are you calling a super midget!?"

"Umm…taichou she didn't go that far."

"Taichou?"

"Oh we should probably introduce everyone!"

"Kagome have you forgotten that she is our enemy?"

"Well Naraku is gone so what point is there to fight?"

"She does have a point."

"Koga won't be happy if we all become friends."

"Inuyasha since when did you care about that 'wimpy wolf'?"

"Wench I don't give a damn about that wolf."

"Sure…"

"Would you people make up your mind. Do I kill the witch or not?"

"Taichou I really do think that Inuyasha and Kurosaki are rubbing off on you."

"Matsumoto!!"

"While all this is nice and all, I must be going."

"Kagura wait. I meant it when I said we should all be friends. Naraku is gone so there is no reason to keep trying to kill each other."

"Miko do you mean to tell me you would beable to look past all that I have done to you and become friends?"

"Sure why not. I mean you only did those things because Naraku threatened your life, and besides you were quite helpful at times."

"I don't know what to say…"

"Don't say anything. Just say yes and we can get on with our lives."

"Fine…my answer is yes."

"Great. Now you know all of us. The two new people are Hitsuguaya and Matsumoto. They are shinigami that are hiding out for a while, and we thought here would be the safest place for them. Hitsuguaya is a captain and Matsumoto is his vice captain."

"Interesting. This has been fun, but I must get back to my mate."

"Your mated?!"

Inuyasha tensed and went for his sword. Upon seeing this the others tensed as well and were ready to grab their weapons if need be. The bushes at the edge of the clearing started moving, and out popped an imp with his lord not far behind.

"Kagura it is time to leave."

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"It is of no concern to you half breed."

"Like hell it is, you can't have the Tetsuaiga."

"I'm not here for the sword. I am here to collect my mate."

"Huh?"

"You mean when you said your mate you meant Sesshomaru?"

"Yeah what of it."

"Nothing just a little unexpected is all."

Sesshomaru was already leaving the clearing by the time most of the group had gotten over the fact that he had mated Kagura. With a wave the wind sorceress followed after the iceberg. The rest just looked at eachother and decided to make their way back to the village.

"So who was that?"

"Inuyasha's brother."

"I take it they don't get along?"

"Nope. This meeting was actually the less violent of all of them. Usually Inuyasha end's up getting his butt kicked."

"I heard that Shippou."

"Idiot you were supposed to."

"Shippou watch your mouth, and Inuyasha don't even think about hurting Shippou."

"Keh"

The rest of the group just shook their heads at the usual antics. Both shinigami had become used to the constant bickering from the members of the group. The two of them did it enough so they fit in quite well. The group backtracked through the forest and to the headman's house. There they collected their pay and hit the road for home.

"Well that was easy money."

"Probably the easiest yet."

"If you guys don't speed it up we'll never make it home."

Everyone stopped to look at the small shinigami, had he just said home?

"Taichou did you just say home. Meaning the village and not Soul Society?"

"Yeah what of it. At least for now it is our home, so let's stop procrastinating and get there."

Matsumoto went and gave her captain a bear hug saying how happy she was to see him happy. The rest of the group looked on with amusement as the small shinigami started turning funny colors. Perhaps they should step in before he suffocates.

"Umm…Matsumoto your killing him."

"What? Oh…sorry taichou."

The embarrassed captain muttered something about stupid vice captains and started making his way down the road with the rest of the group following.

"Whether taichou says it aloud or not. I know that he is enjoying his time here. I really believe this may have been the best thing that could have happened to us. I haven't seen his happy since Aizen betrayed us all. We can't really thank you enough for all that you have done for us."

"Really it is nothing, we are glad to have you!"

"I heard you!"

"Feh…who cares. You like it here and we like having you get over it."

"What Inuyasha is trying to say is that it is great having you here and were happy that you are enjoying your stay!"

"Wench there was no need for that."

"You still need to work on your people skills."

The ever bickering couple were at it an would be at it for a while. Both shinigami stared and smirked. They really did like these people. They were always entertaining, but they had also been through as much as they had. The two unlikely groups could relate and that just made it all the better. It would seem that the monk had made another move on the demon slayer, only to receive another hand print on his face. It was a surprise that he didn't have a permanent one on his face. The now rather large group continued down the road that would bring them home!
