A/N: Screw this author's note. I'd much rather leave it empty…
Late Lunch
Inuyasha was on the ground sniffing the place where Min last was. It was no use. It was like she had erased all evidence of her visit, except for the necklace that Kagome still had.
"Hey Kagome! Can't you sense her jewel shard if she really has one?" Inuyasha yelled.
Kagome and her mother were busy in the kitchen, making the lunch Kagome promised to bring the gang. Kagome stood over the stove with her apron on and hair tied up while she added a little broth to flavor her rice and moved the string-beans so they wouldn't burn, "No… I don't think so. She said she had it sealed up so no one could sense it," she flipped a omelet over.
"Damn it!" Inuyasha cursed again.
Sesshomaru leaned against the kitchen wall, drunken by the wonderful scent of the Higurashi women's cooking, "What is it that your cooking miko?"
Kagome smiled at him as she sliced her forth omelet and put the rice in the lunch boxes, "Just some lunches for the gang. Won't take long… MOM! You can wash this pan and can you get me the leftover chicken? I want to reheat it."
"Sure dear. Please move?" Kagome backed away as her mother placed some egg rolls in the oven with the already half cooked fish, "This will be delicious."
Kagome started to form rice balls as her mother took over the stove for a bit, "Wow were almost done! Everything will be done in like twenty-five minutes! So it'll be… a hour and fifteen minutes…Wow Mom! A new record," Kagome said as she let he Mom take the rice balls.
Kagome now stood with more then ten good lunch boxes. The fumes intoxicated the demons as they walked to the well. Kagome and Shippo jumped n first and scrambled when they got to the other side. Inuyasha, who held Kagome and Shippo's newly packed bags. Last, Sesshomaru who jumped with much grace into the well.
"Kagome, I'm going to start searching for Kikyou again," Inuyasha said sadly.
Kagome only smiled, "Well, at least help me deliver and eat all these lunches."
Inuyasha nodded as Sesshomaru jumped out of the well.
"Oh, Sesshomaru. Why don't you get Rin and Jaken so we can all eat together," Kagome suggested kindly.
"No way Kagome! Him eat with us? He's the enemy!!! Remember?" Inuyasha hated the thought of actually having to eat with his brother.
"Inuyasha! S…" Kagome began to say our favorite three letter word.
"I'll be good!" Inuyasha ducked down and shielded himself with his arms.
Kagome smiled, "Good! Did you remember the apply that ointment?" Inuyasha shook his head, "Great! Now like I said before could-"
"No need to repeat yourself miko," interjected the demon lord, "I'll get Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un so they can consume the meal with you."
"That's fantastic!" Kagome said, "Now… Inuyasha?"
"Hmm?!"
"Go get Sango and Miroku while I set up at the last place we ate," Kagome held out of the lunch boxes to him, "Give this to Keade while you're there."
Inuyasha nodded as he box then ran for the village. Kagome kneeled down and placed her bag over her shoulder before picking up the stacks of boxes, "Shippo… grab your bag, and can you carry those ones?"
"Sure!" Shippo carried out her orders.
Kagome turned to Sesshomaru, "What are you waiting for? Go get-," He disappeared before she could finish. Kagome stared only for a moment, "Okay Shippo! Let's go!"
Kagome and Shippo came into a Large beautiful meadow full of many different flowers and Kagome laid out the blanket her mom gave her. She then laid her lunch boxed on it and laid her bag in the grass. Shippo followed suit and soon they were ready for everyone to come.
First the Sango and the Monk came riding in on Kilala with Inuyasha close behind. Then Sesshomaru who was fallowed by Ah-Un with Rin on his back and Jaken running after them.
"Ah!" Jaken screamed as realization dawned on him, "My lord! You can't be serious!" Rin jumped off Ah-Un onto Jaken's head then to the ground. Jaken fell backwards as everyone but Sesshomaru sat on the blanket. As everyone began to eat Kagome walked over to Sesshomaru with a box and chopsticks.
"Here!" Kagome held them out, "I figured you wouldn't want to eat with everyone else."
"No thank you miko," Sesshomaru said.
"Oh…You didn't even try it! My cooking isn't that bad," Kagome wined, "Just try it!"
Sesshomaru took the box to hear the miko shut up. She smiled and sat with her friend again while Sesshomaru was deciding weather or not to eat the food that was given him. Kagome joined the conversation while Sesshomaru pulled the chop sticks apart.
"So guys, I met up with this girl named Min that went to my school before Summer and-"
"You wouldn't believe what happened!" Shippo yelled. He may not of been there to hear the girl tell her story but he sure saw what happened.
"So what did happen? Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked, "Who is this Min?"
"Some weird human bitch!" Inuyasha yelled, "She knew all this stuff about us and Naraku! I bet she even knew where we go to kill him! But the damn bitch got away!!!"
Miroku and Sango looked at one another. Sango looked back to Kagome, "Who is this Min?" she repeated Miroku's question.
"She said she was a reincarnated demon with a human body," Kagome said.
"A demon reincarnated as a human? I never heard of someone who was actually like that," Miroku said.
"And… Oh yeah!" Kagome pulled the necklace from her pant's pocket, "She gave me this. It has a weird aura around it. Do you know what it is Miroku?"
Miroku took the necklace in his left hand and examined it, "It looks like a enchantment used to make barriers against demons… but different."
"It already hurt Inuyasha, but Min healed that," Kagome said.
"Hmm…," Miroku thought a bit before asking, "Do you know where to find Min?"
Kagome shook her head, "I didn't get to ask. Sorry."
The rest of the meal went quietly, except for a comment every now and then.
