Disclaimer: i don't own inuyasha

Chapter 3

Tifa stretched slowly between silk sheets. She replayed last nights events and stiffened. Reaching out with her sense she noted that the demon lord was sitting in a chair next to her. She groaned and opened one eye. "What do you want?"

He arched one eye brow. "Stop that. You'll get wrinkles."

That reminded him of one time Inuyasha's wench said the same thing. He had problems holding in his laughter there. He chuckled at this little demons descriptions. Sesshoumaru nodded to the inu tenshi.

"How did you sleep?"

"Fine. Did you learn what you went to the library for?"

Sesshoumaru nodded. Tifa smiled and rolled her eyes. She had to ask him if he knew where she could find her friends. "Can I know now?"

"Not yet."

Tifa frowned. "My I make a request of you?" Sesshoumaru said nothing. "Do you know where I could find Higurashi Kagome?"

"Inuyasha's wench? What do you need with her?"

"She is my friend. I wish to see her."

Sesshoumaru nodded. "I know. Dress quickly-"

Tifa yanked back the blankets. She had not changed out of the hakamashita and hakamas he gave her yesterday. Tifa stood before him. "Continue."

"Come."

Tifa followed the young lord to the entry hall. She was shocked to find the little ugly Yoda waiting by the front gate. "Jakken."

The deep voice next to her scared Tifa shitless. She looked at the stoic demon beside her. His face an emotionless mask of grace and poise. She knew one like that. Cold. Detached. Tifa had figured a way to fix that. She would fix this one too.

"I am leaving. Watch Rin. Play with her. If she isn't happy when I get back it'll be your head."

The toad bowed. Tifa had to pick her jaw up from the ground. He treated people like that. Man, no wonder he was alone. Tifa would fix him. It wouldn't take long. She was already having ideas. She'd start with being nice to him. She looked up into gold eyes.

They were like gold ice. His eye lids had a magenta color that matched the stripes on his cheeks. His purple crescent moon, magenta stripes, gold ice eyes, and silver-blue hued hair made for a striking combination. He was beautiful. Handsome couldn't describe this man. His face was feminine, it's saving grace from being completely feminine were his eyes.

He formed a cloud beneath their feet and smiled lightly when she grabbed his haori. He grasped her elbow, waiting for her to get balanced. She thanked him, then distanced herself. She stood behind him looking down at the scenery flashing by. "Where are we going?"

"There is a little village east of here where your miko friend stays for a while."

Tifa nodded. This guy was cold. Kagome may be human, but she was strong. Tifa didn't know that Sesshoumaru knew this. He inwardly smirked at Tifa. This girl had important things to learn.

Kairi looked around the camp. Kagome was making ramen. Inuyasha was sitting in a tree, muttering. Kairi smiled, music to her ears. Miroku was trying to grope Sango, again. Kairi shook her head. The monk was going to die in a coma if he didn't watch it. Kairi walked over to where Kagome was.

"Kags. I'm going for a quick walk. If you need me, just yell."

"Alright. Be careful."

"Yes mom," Kairi kidded. She waved over her shoulder. She came to the hot spring Inuyasha had searched out earlier and sat on a rock. She set up a miko youki barrier. Once in place, she closed her eyes. She expanded her senses. She reached out with her senses. She opened her eyes, glowing pink. If her miko was purple, then she was evil. But it wasn't. She could hear better now than with just her demon senses. Smell better, see better. She could do everything better.

She had a sudden feeling of weightlessness. The rock dropped out from under her. Kairi loved it when it did this. She could do so many things when her elevated senses elevated her. She skittered around in her meditation position. She floated just above the ground.

She suddenly sensed a demon. She dropped the barrier and floated higher in the air. She masked her scent and aura. She waited for the demon to break foliage. She didn't wait long. A demon dressed in brown, hanging onto a demon with gold hair and silver highlights. The tips of her hair was red.

Kairi floated down to see if it was her friend. The girl looked over to Kairi and came running. Kairi set herself on the ground and released concentration. Her eyes no longer pink. Yasha tackled her friend, hugging her fiercely. Kairi grinned.

She stood up, placing Yasha behind her. She growled at the demon. He just smiled at her. Yasha patted her shoulder. Kairi looked to her. "Kairi. You're overprotective. This is Kouga."

Kairi blushed and stuck out her hand. Kouga shook it and sat on the ground. "Do you know where the mutt is?"

Kairi nodded. Yasha jumped up and down. "Yeah. Yay. We found Kagome."

Kairi grinned at the girl's antics. Suddenly she stopped Yasha. "Where is Tifa?"

"I don't know. I hope she's okay."

"Me too."

Kouga just shrugged. Kairi grabbed his tail and tossed him over her shoulder. Yasha just shook her head and followed in tow. Once she reached the camp clearing, she flung the wolf at Inuyasha. He moved out of the way. "What was that for?"

"I assumed he was a friend of yours."

"Oi. Who's that?"

Kagome squealed. Kairi put hands over her ears. Yasha too. Kagome ran to hug the neko bunny. Yasha and Kagome squealed and basically played a quick game of ring-around-the-rosy. Inuyasha grinned. So did Miroku and Kouga. Kairi felt it first. A dark sinister presence.

She grabbed Kouga by his ear and hauled him over to a tree. "Something followed you."

"Ooh. You're perceptive."

"What is it?"

Kouga shrugged. Kairi smacked him upside the head. She ran over to Kagome and Yasha. "Kagome get on my back. Yasha, we have someone we need to visit."

Kagome climbed on. Kairi turned to Inuyasha. "Oi, mutt. Get your ass over here."

Inuyasha walked over grumbling something about damn bitches. When he stopped in front of her she spoke. "Dumb ass wolf-boy over there has been followed. I'm taking Kagome to Totosai's mountain. I'm going to make him make Yasha a weapon. Kick this things ass and join us."

Kairi took off into the air. She reached into her miko powers and brought up a barrier around them. It would knock off the girl's scent and aura so no one could track her. The scent of snow and spring blossoms hit her nose. The wind blew in such a direction that it brought Kagome's scent to her nose.

Yasha followed, them both running like the devil was on their heels. "Yasha."

"Yeah?"

"I think we should fly. You know. Less to track if it gets past the hanyou."

Yasha nodded. Kairi whistled, knowing the fire cat would come. Kirara agreed to come should Kairi and Kagome need her. Kairi slowed down and waited. The neko landed, fully transformed and waited. Kairi put Kagome on Kirara and waited for Yasha to board.

She got in touch with her miko and it engulfed her spirit. She floated there, waiting for them to get comfortable. When Kirara mewed, Kairi took off. She led the way to Totosai. He owed her any way.

Kagome watched as Kairi led the way, her eyes glowing pink. Kairi was a miko inu fox demon. Interesting combination. Kagome smiled. It was like Sesshoumaru got together with a fox. Kagome giggled. Sesshoumaru would only be with another inu youkai. Too bad though. Kagome thought he was hot.

Kairi watched Kagome out of the corner of her eye. The girl was in day dream land. Kairi smiled. Even with her knowledge of evil, the girl was still naïve. Not much one could do about that. Kagome was Kagome.

Kairi: How come i have to be her gaurdian?

Kagome: *sniff* You don't love me?

Kairi: Of course like family.

Kagome: *hugs Kairi* Yay!!!!
