Oh dear... Not many reviews hmm? That makes me sad. Anyways, I guess I'll go ahead and update.

Chapter 2

Three months later...

"You know, I'm getting sick of this..."
Inuyasha said, irritated. The rest of the group agreed. They hadn't seen even a trace of Naraku or a shikon shard. The demon count seemed to have gone up, however.
"Deja-vu..."
Kagome replied. Indeed, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.
"I guess Naraku went into hiding. Again."
Sango stated, sighing.
"How about we just spend the night here?"
She added.

"Fine..."
Inuyasha replied,
"Doesn't look like anythings going to happen tonight."

The group set their things down, going to carry out their usual tasks to set up camp.

"Man, there are more monsters than ever!"
Lloyd said, slightly annoyed, hacking one down with relative ease.

"You know, we've only found and destroyed a few hundred expheres these past months. Don't you find that weird? When we were chasing Mithos, there were expheres on almost everyone! We've been to every town and city in Symphonia, and made sure we destroyed all of their exspheres. That was really too easy..."
Sheena said.

"Yeah, I've figured that too."
Lloyd replied.

"Ahh, don't worry about it. You know what we should really worry about though?"
Zelos asked with a smile. It was a sarcastic smile that quickly disappeared and was replaced by a look of discontent.
"My poor feet!"
He said,
"They're aching! Why can't we use the Rheiards again?"
He asked, pointing at the small box that contained a shrunken version of the aircraft they had used during their journey.

"Oh suck it up Zelos!"
Sheena replied, irritated.
"We can't use the rheiards because the summon spirits aren't with us anymore! Because of the mana shortage, they're too busy just keeping the land from dying."

"Oh..."
Zelos replied.
"Well... We really need a better way of getting around."

"I could always carry you!"
Collette offered with a giggle. After the cruxis crystal turned her into an angel, she could hear and see much better than most people and had strength that amazed many.

"Aha..."
Zelos chuckled, slightly embarrassed.
"It's alright my cute little Collette; very temping though. Perhaps you could make the same offer later when we go to bed; I'll let you be domina-"

"Zelos!"
Sheena screamed, landing a hard blow on the back of Zelos' head.

"Ow! Hey! Don't be jealous Sheena! You'll get your turn I promi- Ow! Hey, come on, stop!"

Lloyd and Collette could only laugh at Zelos. Sheena's strength and temper wasn't something one should play around with either. After a few more beats, Zelos chose to remain quiet as they moved on.

"Anyways, I was thinking,"
Lloyd said,
"I think we need to move on to another continent. Honestly, I don't think there's anything left here."

"Another continent? We'll need a ship, right?"
Sheena asked, apparently having calmed down.

"Yeah,"
Lloyd replied.

"Hey, let's go to Meltokio and ask the king then. He should be more than happy to give us one."

Zelos said, recovering quickly.

"Meltokio? You sure?"
Lloyd asked.
"Of course! You know, I still have the rights as a chosen. They'll help us."

He said confidently.
"We'll spend the night in my mansion instead of on these uncomfortable rocks! Meltokio's only a few miles from here, let's go!"
He added, already walking.

Inuyasha looked sadly out at the water, the sun setting in the horizon. They had found a beach preferred to stay there than in the woods. Inuyasha sat at the water's edge, his friends preparing dinner quite a far distance away, skipping rocks idly, deep in thought.

"I'll bet he's thinking of Kikyo right now."
Miroku said, keeping an eye on his hanyou friend.

"I'm surprised he hasn't broken down or anything."
Sango said,
"He seems pretty normal aside from the fact that he looks fairly sad once in a while. I don't know, I feel bad for him..."
She added.

Kikyo's second body made of clay and bones had been broken. The last time they saw Naraku, he had said something about not needing her any longer now that he had other help.

Inuyasha sighed, smelling the cooked food. He stood up, brushing himself off, walking back to his friends. He had decided that it was best to move on. Kikyo was dead and there was absolutely nothing that he could do about it. She wanted him to go to hell along with her and at one time, Inuyasha would have done so. Now however, he didn't have the smallest desire to. He sat down to eat his dinner.

"Great, so I'll look for it in the water north of Meltokio tomorrow morning."
Zelos said to the king of Tethe'alla, retreating to his mansion. He was very wealthy as the chosen, and had many shallow women following him around town because of that.

"Good news, we're setting out tomorrow!"
Zelos announced to his friends.
"Wow, this is so exciting!"
Collette exclaimed.

"I actually doubt we'll find any expheres elsewhere, these are where the main cities and towns are. The place we're going to has only minor villages and such. It's covered in forests and jungles."
Sheena said.
"How do you know all this?"
Lloyd asked, slightly amazed.

"Well, I've been sent on missions there. I have a friend there, Sango I think her name was. She's a demon slayer. The demon slayers were originally part of this continent. They were actually part of Mizuho, but when demons got unruly on that continent, people were sent there to make sure the demons didn't make it here. Over three-quarters of Mizuho were sent there. Only the strongest. Sango is the daughter of the leader of the demon slayers. We were only thirteen when we met, I'll bet she's grown a lot too."
She explained.

"Ooh, a female friend of Sheena! I'll bet she's grown to be quite a beauty!"
Zelos replied, getting excited as well.

"Doubt it,"
Sheena said with a laugh,
"She wasn't the prettiest sight the last time I remember her. She didn't look like a girl at all! Pretty short hair for a girl and she was such a tomboy."

"No!"
Zelos said.
"I must see for myself first. The great Zelos' instincts never lie! Not about women anyways!"

"Right... Anyways, let's get some rest! We've got an entire day of sailing to do tomorrow."
Lloyd said, dragging Zelos into one of the rooms for two before he could... It was too late.

"Aw, come on! Can't I just spend one night in your room?"
Zelos begged Sheena and Collette.

"I'm sorry Zelos, there's no room... There's only two beds..."
Collette said. It sounded strangely honest.
"Oh! That's easy to fix! I can just sleep in your bed..."
"Zelos..."
Sheena said menacingly.

"Oh, you don't mind sharing? Then of course! This sounds so fun! It'll be like a slumber party!"

The naïve Collette shouted,

"Sounds like great fun my sweet hunny."
Zelos said.

"And Lloyd can share a bed with Sheena and..."

"Absolutely not!"

Sheena exclaimed, blushing slightly.
"Come on Collette, let's just go to sleep."

Sheena pulled Collette into the room to explain what Zelos meant by sharing a bed. They were all roughly the same age, but Collette was the most 'innocent' and 'unknowing' one out of all of them.

"Oh man! I was so close!"
Zelos whined.

"Zelos, you're so hopeless!"

Lloyd said. He was known to be a very dense guy, but even he understood Zelos' metaphors and jokes. He walked ahead in, laying comfortably on the soft bed. Zelos reluctantly followed moments later.

Yes, not much happened that chapter. So far, I've only gotten one review! Here's how it's going to work. Every pairing suggestion I get, I'll make more interactions between them. I will not listen to Yaoi and Yuri, and one other pairing. Please review! Or I'll have to stop this fic! I know it's not much a threat though...
