Chapter 7: ha-ha...

Last time: "I HATE you!" Inuyasha seethed raising a fist and looking up at him from where he was.

'Ehhhh?' was everyone's thought as they looked at him like was crazy. Kinda mentally disturbed wasn't he?

Lady Nefertiti: I apologize for the long and delayed updates but currently I'm in the 'middle of some things' but don't worry...I haven't forgotten about my fics!

enjoy reading everyone!

-A couple of days later-

It was nearing nightfall and the group were going to stop at the nearest clearing they found (with a hot spring of course) and to top it all off, on Sesshomaru's orders no less...Where was Inuyasha with his say to things? Wasn't HE supposed to be the leader of the group?

-Inuyasha-

Kagome's ankle was healing nicely as the group went along on thier path to search for shards. Okay well that was fine and dandy but...he heard Kagome's laugh from behind him and his eyebrow twitched with irritation. That damn brother of his was still here in their group and he was saying something that was making Kagome laugh. GRRRR...He was supposed to be GONE! bloody G-O-N-E when Kagome got better! He turned around and saw the pair of them and frowned. They were all mushy mushy Grrr...and he gritted his teeth. Why was Sesshomaru hanging out with them anyway? he loathed both, humans and half-breeds...maybe he turned over a new leaf, so to speak? he didn't want him to! He wanted the murderous and killer 'ha-ha you die now' Sesshomaru back! Not that he wanted Sesshomaru to go off and try to kill Kagome again but...he scratched his head. Major Headache!!

-Sango-

She giggled inwardly as she studied Inuyasha's disturbed look. He wasn't being his usual loud-mouthed/profanity speaking self. She didn't know how to call this. This 'rag-tag' group was getting weirder by the second, having odd...very unique people join. And come to think of it...who invited Sesshomaru along anyway? Not that she wasn't happy about it though. Kagome seemed happy and that was good enough for her (Sango). Forget Sesshomaru, why was Kikyo still with them? didn't she need to go and find those soul 'glow-thingy's' she needed to survive by now? HA! if she forgot about them she'd die! and then there'd be no Kikyo. No wait...that wouldn't be a good thing...then there'd just be Kikyo and then both Taisho brothers would fight over aher and one would die and she knew which one. HA! then the odds would be in Kagome's favor...oh but wait Kagome would then mourn Inuyasha because he was like a brother to her and she would blame Sesshomaru for killing her best friend...things never were easy for Kagome were they?

Where were they going anyway?

-Miroku-

He could feel the tenseness in the group. Sheesh and here he'd thought things would get easier for the group hmm...yes! it was time for...

Grope...Grope

(BONK!)

and there was a swirly-eyed monk on the ground.

"Miroku!" Sango yelled and blushing. It was so humiliating and in front of Sesshomaru this time no less! Whose ideas were that women should be treated with honor and respect. Kagome giggled and then Sango heard her whisper to Sesshomaru that he couldn't kill Miroku.

"It was worth it..." Miroku said rubbing his head.

-Inuyasha-

He was in his own little world and wasn't paying attention to the others. Gah! he knew it! He was going to bloody kill Sesshomaru to a pulp right now!

"Inuyasha watch out!" Kagome yelled from back.

'huh?' Inuyasha thought looking back at Kagome.

(BOOM!)

and poor Inuyasha walked right into a tree...

Miroku shook his head. Inuyasha was thinking too much. Odd...but yes. Inuyasha was thinking of some strategy to have Sesshomaru 'get gone' from their group.

Lady Nefertiti: Please read and review!

Inuyasha: (shakes head) "You just don't know when to quit do you?"
