Ray: Here's chapter 3 of 'Unknown'!

Chapter 3

Two pairs of curious eyes blinked as the unconscious girl mumbled something like, "Inuyasha...sit, you stupid idiot..."

"Well Kyo, look what you've done. But I'm surprised you didn't transform..." Yuki wondered while looking at the orange-haired boy. Kyo shoved Kagome off of him and got up, ready to yell at Yuki when Kagome woke up.

She jumped up and pointed a finger in Kyo's face. "You jerk! You didn't have to shove me off! What is it with you men and your superiority complex? You know what? I don't want to know. And another thing..." She stepped closer to him but slipped on a board, sending her flying backwards. She turned as Yuki flew forwards to catch her. He landed with a thud, Kagome laying on his chest.

"Yuki! Are you alright?" she asked, worry coating her voice. "I'm fine, just a little bruised," he said to ease her worry.

Shigure stuck his head through the door and asked, "Yuki, what's all that noise? Kyo isn't here, is he?" His eyes landed on Yuki and Kagome's position and he got a perverted grin. "You two sure are hitting it off well," he teased, turning both teens red. Kagome quickly got up and ran out the house. Yuki glared hard at Shigure.

"Don't you think she's freaked out enough without you saying something like that?"he said, getting up and brushing himself off. "And you, you don't need to barging in here like the idiot you truly are." He turned and walked out, leaving behind two very confused people.

"What the heck's his problem?" Kyo mumbled as he made his way downstairs. Shigure shrugged and followed him.

Kagome ran through the forest, seeking something to vent her frustration and embaressment out on. She continued to run blindly, not noticing the person in front of her. She bowled over the person and got up. She helped the other person up while saying sorry a thousand times. The person chuckled and said, "You haven't changed much since I last saw you, Kagome." Kagome's eyes lit up and she squealed.

"AI-CHAN!!! It's been so long since we've seen each other. How are you? What've you been doing? What are you doing here? Wh..." A hand was slapped over her mouth to prevent further questioning. The hand led up to an arm clothed in a dark blue jacket. The girl that wore the jacket had midnight-blue hair with eyes that resembled amethysts. She wore black pants with a purple tank-top.

"I'm fine, traveling, and looking for new opponents. What are you doing here in the forest, alone?" she said while taking her hand from Kagome's mouth. Kagome gave a nervous laugh and told her the story. Ai listened and then thought, 'She's been through a lot since I've been gone.'

"Hey, Ai?"

"Hmm?"

"What are you doing here? I mean, I know you're looking for new opponents but why here of all places?"

"Heard you were living here with new family. Wanted to check to see if they're alright to leave you alone with."

Kagome looked over at her and smiled. "They've been good to me so far. Except that boy..." she stopped, remembering his attitude. "Ai, can you spar with me? I need some way to vent my frustration."

Ai nodded and said, "I've been itching for a fight. Even though we're friends, I'm not holding back."

"Ditto. Now prepare yourself!" Both girls jumped up and flew into battle.

Yuki continued to walk, searching for Kagome. He came upon her fighting. He gasped and was about to jump in when he figured she could handle herself by the way she fought. He watched the battle unfold while thinking, 'Where did she learn to fight like this?'
