Getting food was an everyday life occurence for Miho, it didn't matter where she was because she always needed tons of food to fill that bottomless pit of hers. Honestly, she probably spent the majority of the day finding meat rather than actually exploring her surroundings or making more friends.

She grinned at the large capture of boars she had in her hands, two over her right shoulder and one over her left shoulder.

Alright, that makes four!

Deciding that capturing two more would be enough to fill all their stomachs, she jumped up into the trees and started making her way in the direction of Sesshomaru so she could dump her catch on him. She could hunt more with the boars over her shoulders, but honestly, she didn't want to have to go to so much trouble when she had someone else to carry the load for her.

Not that she would ever voice those opinions to him, no doubt he would have his head if she told him such things. He had so much pride, unlike her, who had little to no pride at all—she would run away from a weak demon if it meant she didn't have to fight! There were plenty of other things she would do that other demons wouldn't do too.

Haha, she wasn't going to tell him that though—who knows what he would say about her if he learned that she didn't have a pride of a demon; he's already cautious and annoyed with her already, she didn't need to make him any more irritated with her than he already was.

Maybe I should cut down the amount of food I eat…

She grinned, deciding that her stomach would have a fit if she ever did such a thing and would probably weaken her strength as a result. Now, that would certainly annoy Sesshomaru much more than telling him that she had no pride whatsoever.

Nah! Stupid idea!

"Hey Maru-Maru!"

She came to a stop in her tracks, frowning when she realised that she had lost her way—she was stuck in the middle of the forest with no idea where to go. It never did really occur to her to use her nose to find his location—another reason why Sesshomaru thought she was a silly demon.

"Huh, which way was it again?"

Miho turned her head left and right, snapping them side to side rapidly and pouting at the fact that she was lost. She loved the forest, sure, but she didn't like the fact that all the trees and plants looked all the same to her—which was probably why she hunted meat most of the time for safety reasons of not wanting to be poisoned.

This is so not fair!

"Maru-Maru! Kin-Kin! Rin-Rin! Where are you? A-Un?"

After much running around, she found herself at the river again but frowned at the fact that Sesshomaru was with Rin and Jaken. Did something happen to make him come? Normally he would just be doing his own thing in the forest, minding his own business and whatnot.

"Hey Maru-Maru! Did something happen while I was away?"

She landed beside him, dumping the boars next to the boar he had left on the ground and sniffing the air. She frowned at the scent of wolves, noticing that it was familiar but wondering why it would be here now. Last she checked, there weren't wolves around.

"It's nothing," he told her. "Are you done hunting?"

"Almost!" she grinned. "After catching two more boars I think we'll be set to eat!"

He glanced at the uneaten meat on the ground, before shifting his gaze back at her then turning his attention to Jaken and Rin.

He simply said, "Glutton."

"Wha… Hey! That's mean!"

"Ah, Lady Miho!" Rin called out. "You have returned!"

Jaken sweat-dropped at her catch, "It never ceases to amaze me how much food must fill up that stomach of yours."

"Do you guys want to eat some boar?" she asks.

Rin said, "If you don't mind. We haven't gotten to eat meat like this for a while."

She smiled brightly, "Then let's start roasting!"

"Ah! That was tasty!"

The redhead was walking beside the white-haired dog demon, her hands tucked behind her head and her stomach happily filled with delicious food. Jaken, Rin and A-Un followed, either standing beside them or in front of them—both of the demons didn't really care either way as long as they could see where they were.

Rin and Jaken were weak, as a result, they would need their protection at times. It was best to have them where they could see them—not that Sesshomaru would admit that he wanted to protect them.

Sesshomaru stayed silent, but Miho had a feeling that he wanted to say something that might hurt her pride—except, she had almost no pride whatsoever so it was highly doubtful she would feel hurt or threatened. Though, that didn't mean he was stupid enough to tell her—no telling what she would do the majority of the time.

All of them came to a stop when two wolf demons stood before them, blocking off their path with their arms spread out—like blockers.

"Them again," Jaken muttered.

"This road is closed! You cannot pass!"

"Turn around and take another route!"

Miho frowned, seemingly to be ignoring their words as she tried to recall something. She felt like she knew them from somewhere, but she couldn't quite place where—the problems of meeting far too many people in her lifetime, she has a problem of trying to recall every person she's ever met.

Too bad they couldn't see her, since she somehow ended up being behind Sesshomaru's large frame—he practically dominated over her form. She didn't notice either, too busy trying to remember something that could possibly be nonexistent.

"What do we do now if we can't take this route?" Jaken asks his lord.

Rin turned her head to the white-haired dog demon, "Lord Sesshomaru?"

"We are the personal assistance of Koga, the great young leader of the wolf demon tribe! I'm Ginta from the fires of hell!"

"And I'm slayer Hakkaku!"

Jaken took note, "That's not what they said earlier on."

Koga… Ginta… Hakkaku…

She definitely knew she had heard them from somewhere, but who were they again? She banged her head on the nearest tree trunk, trying to refresh her memory while her companions just ignored her idiocy.

The wolf demons said, "This road is closed! Turn around!"

Sweat trickled down their faces as they noticed the unchanging look on Sesshomaru's face, becoming nervous of what to do next to change the dog demon's choice of route. Feebly, they started doing some lame fighting moves.

"You got that?"

Sesshomaru remained unwavering, staring them down with this expressionless look on his face and causing the wolf demons to falter. They started fake fighting again, seemingly to be trying to prove their strength but failing miserably.

"How was that?" they asked.

The white-haired male glared at them, a frown on his face and clearly not pleased with what was going on. It certainly didn't help that the female behind him was going on about something that made no sense whatsoever—seriously, what went on with that she-demon's mind? She's just insane.

"Throwing Star's Attack!" Hakkaku yelled.

He threw Ginta into the air, who flipped and came crashing down to the ground with a kick attack.

"Lightning Bolt Attack!"

His feet collided with the ground, creating a small dent and quite proud of the damage they both made. They grinned at their work, turning their heads back to the odd group and hoping that would change their mind.

"Well?"

Sesshomaru's frown deepened, "Make way."

Both of the wolf demons started to panic, while Miho suddenly cheered from behind the dog demon as she finally remembered who they were. It momentarily captured the older demon's attention, but he didn't think too much about it since she was stupid.

"You go elsewhere! This path is closed!"

"Nothing to see here, move along!"

Jaken sweat-dropped, Are they trying to get themselves killed?

The oldest of the odd group started walking to the front, staring down at the wolf demons and coldly talking to them. He clearly was not amused, not that he was ever amused in the first place—he was already quite annoyed since Miho's ridiculous appetite had delayed their journey more than he liked.

Stupid volcano lion.

"I told you to make way."

"Hey, Maru-Maru! Don't scare away the wolves!"

Miho popped out from Sesshomaru's behind, grabbing a hold of his right arm and trying to pull him back in attempts to save the wolf demons' lives. She knew them, and to heck with letting them die! They were her friends!

Suddenly, another voice entered into the conversation and made both of the demons stop in their tracks to take a look. Miho blinking a few times, while Sesshomaru remained unfaltering the whole time—he was very annoyed with the female's actions though.

"Someone looking for me?"

They looked up to see a black-haired male with wolf fur covering his body, he was another wolf demon and if she was not mistaken, his name was Koga—since that's what the two wolf demons said anyway. Sesshomaru stared blankly, who unintentionally hid Miho behind his big frame and was left unseen by the wolf demon.

"Who are you?" Koga asks. "What do you want?"

The wolf demon leader jumped down from the rocks, standing in between his companions and staring down at the white-haired male.

"He reeks like that filthy mutt Inuyasha."

Whose Inuyasha? Miho wondered.

Rin gasped, "Lord Sesshomaru… Lady Miho…"

"Wait…" Koga sniffed the air. "That scent… Are you travelling with some volcano lion or something?"

"Hey, Ko-Ko!"

The redhead managed to get in front of Sesshomaru, grinning widely and making the wolf demon snort in response. He had a small smile, but didn't seemed to be that close to the female in anyway possible—the dog demon did believe that they knew each other in some way.

"So you are here," Koga stated. "I was wondering where you had gone. You're travelling with some mutt now?"

Ginta said, "How are you even still alive?"

"Well, it's not too surprising," Hakkaku murmured. "This is Miho we are talking about… Still though, I thought this guy would kill her…"

"Miho, move aside," Sesshomaru told her. "You're in the way."

"What?" she puffed up her cheeks. "No I'm not! And I'm not moving. You can't make me."

"Move aside."

"No. You're not fighting those wolves. They are my friends, Sesshomaru."

The male opened his mouth to retort her words, but came short when he sensed a demon nearby—Koga and Miho seemed to notice too. Koga glanced behind him to see a purple demon with a bauble like body jump out from the bushes, running towards the black-haired male for the jewel shards that were embedded into his legs.

"Hand over the sacred jewel shards!"

Koga dodged the attack from the demon, kicking him in the face with a retort of his own to the demon.

"No… Chance!"

Miho cheered, "Way to go, Ko-Ko!"

The purple thing started to wander over to Sesshomaru's and Miho's location, Jaken yelling out a warning to them but the both of them didn't seemed to care too much for such a weakling. Miho being Miho though, just stepped out of the way and let the white-haired demon do the work.

As expected, the male drew Tokijin out from his side and sliced the demon into two parts—ultimately killing it. Koga landed on the ground with ease.

"Thanks," he told the dog demon. "But I could've handled it myself."

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes, seemingly to want to say something or just want to kill the wolf but was cut off by a cry from behind.

"Help me, Master Jaken!"

A centipede demon suddenly popped up from the ground, the young girl screaming in fear while the ground shook at the demon's movements. Jaken tried to help, but he was ultimately swatted away—which caused Miho to laugh. Why? Who knows, but she could be quite the cruel person sometimes.

An attack came flying towards the young woman, making Miho stop laughing in her tracks and the two demons who cared for her turned on their heels to help her. However, the wolf demon was faster and killed the demon himself with a couple of kicks.

"No humans for you, worm!"

Koga landed next to A-Un, who had Rin sitting on them. Koga didn't say anything and started walking towards his pals again, fistbumping Miho on the way and giving the redhead a warning about her safety.

"Try not to get into too much trouble. I won't be here to help you know."

Miho said, "I'll try! Thanks though!"

Sesshomaru just said, "Unnecessary interference."

"Hey! At least try to sound grateful that he helped, Maru-Maru!"

The wolf demon simply said, "Feelings mutual."

They all blinked.

"OK?"
