Author's Notes- Okay, okay. I've really been trying to come up with stuff that will out-do the first chapter. After thinking about it, that was really hard to do... But I've gotten my muse back and... yeah.

"You lecherous monk!" Sango shrieked in absolute horror as Miroku's hand made contact with her chest.

Apparently, after Sango's screaming assaulted his ears, Miroku realized what he had just done. His eyes widened beyond their limits and a look of straight fear struck his face. He visibly paled as Sango leaned forward with her hand reeled back.

"Please, Sango! Don't be rash!" He squeaked quickly, but she wasn't listening and threw her hand at his temple with demonic speed. The monk flew to the side and voiced a groan, being it was the second time he'd been slapped that day. The slayer towered over Miroku's collapsed form and glowered dangerously at him. He started shaking and curled tightly into the fetal position, murmuring something about "Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn".

Sango narrowed her eyes into small slits and rammed her foot into Miroku's side. Her hand immediately went to her weapon and she brought it down to severely bonk the monk on the head. She was so swept up in beating the living crap out of Miroku that she failed to notice anything else.

Kagome sat up and leaned on her elbows, then cringed every time the giant boomerang made contact. There was a strange contraption in her hand in basically clear view but no one paid attention to it. Inuyasha's jaw hung ajar as he watched Sango push Miroku into the Choir Invisible. Hell, a few more hits on the head like that and Inuyasha would swear that the monk would be pushing up the daisies by dawn.

Miroku, the poor, misunderstood pervert that he is, was knocked unconscious by the first blow to the head. Sango, her wrath not having been drained yet, was still pounding the monk's skull into the dirt. By now everyone was starting to get worried. Maybe she was planning to actually kill him...

Just when that thought crossed the bystanders' minds, Sango reeled back for one last strike, and it looked like a lethal one. Kagome shot up in her sleeping bag and Sango threw the weapon forward and rammed it into the ground beside Miroku's skull. Inuyasha loosened up his shoulder's from the tension but Kagome's spine was still ramrod straight.

Inuyasha looked down at how shocked Kagome looked and quirked an eyebrow at her. "Why are you so shocked? It's not like this doesn't happen all the time." The miko blinked a few times before resting her gaze on Inuyasha, and suddenly something hit her. She frantically pushed something into her pocket and he immediately became suspicious.

Inuyasha keeled down next to her sleeping bag and had to resist rolling his eyes when she tried to look innocently up at the trees. "What was that?"

Kagome's voice was light and high-pitched. "What was what?" she lied through her fake sugary-sweet voice.

Now he did roll his eyes. "Don't be dumb, you know what I'm talking about."

She started to squirm uneasily at his inquiries. "No... What are you talking about, Inuyasha?"

A light growl of frustration erupted from his throat, "Is your brain broken or something?" Kagome glared at him. "You know what I mean! I just saw you stuff something in your pocket!" He accused her and reached down to fish it out.

Thinking quickly, she screamed and bonked the hanyou on the head. Then she crossed her arms over herself tightly like he was trying to take advantage of her. "What are you doing!" she squealed.

Inuyasha rubbed his abused skull and glowered at her. "What am I doing? What's your problem! I wasn't trying anything!"

She huffed, "Yeah right! You figured since Miroku got out alive in the end then you would too, huh!"

A light pink colour dusted his cheeks and his voice sputtered, "What? Why would I touch you!"

Now it was Kagome's turn to glare, "So now I'm ugly!?! That's a lot coming from someone who just tried to feel me up!"

"I still don't get why I would touch you!" he yelled back.

"I don't need your insults!" She whined and made her voice crack so she would further divert Inuyasha's attention from her pocket. "Just go help Miroku or something! Kami knows you've spent enough time with him!"

Inuyasha's eye twitched in annoyance until he heard her voice crack. "What? Kagome, are you crying? Common what are you doing?"

She shook her head violently and sniffed. "Nothing. Don't worry about it."

"How am I supposed to now worry about it! You are crying!" He pointed an accusing finger in her direction.

"I am not crying! Shut up!" She "wailed" and put her back to him.

He leaned up to her and looked panicked. "Common, Kagome cut it out."

Kagome wiped the invisible tears with the back of her hand and turned to glare at him. "I told you I'm not crying! So leave it alone!"

"Shut up, you were to crying!" he retorted.

She took a deep breath and Inuyasha's figure went visibly straight and his eyes bugged out. "Sit you jerk!" The last part of the sentence was cut off by a loud 'Bam!' from when Inuyasha's face went crashing into the grass. There was a tiny valley imprinted in the ground roughly the size of his head afterwards. A muffled growl reached Kagome's ears and she looked down at a fuming hanyou.

"What'd ya do that for!?!" he yelled.

She crossed her arms and huffed. "You deserved it, jerk."

Inuyasha simply muttered, "Keh," and before you knew it, he swiftly leaped into the branches of the tree he was in at the beginning of this story.

Kagome smiled to herself in victory. He was so easy to distract. She looked over to the previous center of attention and found the two of them in the same positions they were in before she stopped noticing. Miroku was slumped over in the fetal position on the ground, a few scars on the ground and many more adorning his face. Sango was so out of if from beating Miroku that when she rested on her weapon she just fell asleep. She was leaning onto it while kneeling and resting her chin on her hand.

An extremely loud snore followed by a hiccup snapped Kagome's attention away from the monk and slayer. She looked down to see Shippou just as asleep as he was in the beginning, not disturbed in the slightest.

It was yet another bright and annoying sunny afternoon on the practically abandoned path that the group followed. Kagome still found herself laughing hysterically at last night's events, and today she had a few more tricks up her sleeve. It would turn to twilight soon, and she could only make the dot appear at night, making it a bit inconvenient, but she had used the daylight to come up with more schemes.

The miko was sporting a toothy grin as Shippou pointed out a village in the distance up ahead. Since the village was a ways down the path, it would still take a while to reach, and there was a twinge of a demonic aura around the area.

As soon as it was late enough for the sky to burn orange, a petty looking spider demon crawled out from the depths of the cave-infested woods. It was about as tall as transformed-Kirara and looked like just a giant spider. It voiced a strange sort of an attack noise and threw a web of sleek silk at Inuyasha.

With cat... uh... dog-like reflexes Inuyasha whipped is claws at the web that was flying towards him, shredding it into several pieces. The spider's eyes widened in fear and tried to run away, but Inuyasha pretty much just waved at him and the signature yellow slashes flew at the demon. It wailed in despair but was only chopped into a few hundred chunks.

No one in the group said anything. It was too easy of a victory for any of them to utter a "Good job". A light applause rang through the air to the Inu-Tachi's hearing range, and all five (or six if you count Kirara) heads spun around to see practically the entire village sauntering up the dirt path to meet them. The head of the group clapped his hands wildly.

"Thank you so very much for vanquishing that horrible demon for us! It's been harassing our village for quite some time now!"

Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, and Shippou all sweat-dropped at once, thinking the same thing: 'That puny demon's been harassing you?'

Kagome was the one to speak up, "Oh, it's nothing, really."

The head of the village shook his head and placed his hands in front of him with the palms outward. "No, no! You all shall stay the night at our finest inn for a reward! No charge and a meal shall be provided for you just to show our gratitude!"

The group looked at one another and shrugged. Although it was no problem whatsoever, they might as well take the village up on their offer.

Well, no problem save Inuyasha being just one step closer to developing carpal tunnel that is.

"Wow, Kagome! You can really make a shiny red dot with this contraption?" Shippou whispered.

Kagome nodded and giggled, "Yes, but shh! I don't want anyone else to find out about it."

Shippou hummed in understanding but still looked at the device in his hands confusedly. Kagome noticed this and took it from his hands, a mischievous grin playing across her face.

"Watch this." She whispered from behind another giggle and pointed out the large door of their room. There was a small pond directly athwart from their inn rooms and Inuyasha just so happened to be walking around on the other side of it. The moon and stars reflected off the surface vividly and Kagome gained a genius idea.

Shippou watched in absolute amusement as the tiny red dot appeared on the surface of the water and Inuyasha noticed it immediately. There it was, that... thing! His newest enemy was back again! And Frosty's chance in hell he was going to let it get away again.

Without a second thought- actually, without a first thought- he leaped after it, trying to catch it in his grasp. It was only when he felt the shock of cold water hit him that he realized... he could not walk on water. There was a large splash and both Kagome and Shippou doubled over in hysterical laughter. Tears were beading at the corners of their eyes and their abdomens started to sting.

Not even Kagome could have seen that coming. She didn't think he'd be that desperate to destroy the dot... she was wrong.

The sound of pissed-off footsteps and beads of water splashing on the floor caught the two's attention but they were soon laughing their arses off again. In the doorway stood a very wet and- yes- a very pissed-off Inuyasha, soaked to his bone marrow in smelly pond water.

He growled at their laughter before rattling his spine and shaking off most of the water in a very canine-like fashion. Kagome only laughed harder upon seeing this.

He huffed and stuffed his hands in his sleeves. "So you think that's funny?"

Kagome wiped her eyes and nodded. "Yes... Yes I do."

Inuyasha glared at her with a smirk pulling on the corners of his mouth. "Well, let's just see how much you like it."

The miko's face went blank and Inuyasha quickly moved towards her. She tried to crawl away but she was still laughing too hard and he scooped her up. Her arms and legs were flailing as she squirmed to get away but he held a determined grip on her.

"Inuyasha! Don't do it! Lemme go!" She cried, and started beating her fists on his shoulder.

Inuyasha simply smirked evily and chucked her into the air over the water. A shrill scream assaulted his ears but was soon muffled by a splash and the cold water engulfing the source. Before he could even try to resist the urge, he fell onto his side, holding his abdomen, laughing his head off.

Kagome sprang up out of the water, drenched to her core. Her hair was stuck to her face like glue and she shivered thoroughly.

"Inuyasha!" She screamed.

He just kept laughing, and a now very-pissed Kagome stormed out of the water and glowered dangerously at him. Inuyasha gazed up at her innocently but his face quickly fell.

It wasn't from the look on her face, but from her shirt. Kagome followed his gaze and realized that her shirt was white...

She frantically tried to cover herself but his gaze wasn't wavered. He just kept starring with his jaw slightly ajar.

"Would you stop gawking already!" She muttered, a light pink falling on her cheeks.

Inuyasha only shook his head and stood up, still looking at her. He couldn't believe it. The dot. The dot! Was on Kagome now...

...and he'd be damned if he let it get away with whatever it was trying to do. (That and the things feeling her up at the moment. And we all know that no one gets away with that!)

Author's Notes- Alrighty... That was fun. Haha, not as good as the first, from my perspective but maybe that's just me. My favourite part's the carpal tunnel. I've got other fics to update on and many more ideas to come up with...

Until then,
