Chapter 2:

The Girl in the River

Miroku and Inuyasha, with Kagome clinging to his back, were running into the forest with Shippo and Sango on their trail, riding Kilala. Kagome concentrated on trying to find the shard.

She pointed over Inuyasha's shoulder, "Somewhere over there, in that direction!"

"I'm on it!" He simply replied.

They flew past a river when Kagome yelled, "STOP!"

The boys and Kilala came to a screeching halt, and Inuyasha set Kagome down.

She looked around, "It's somewhere nearby!" She reported.

Sango knelt by the river and gasped, "Oh, the poor thing!"

Kagome looked over and saw a terrible sight. A teenage girl, around her age, floating down the river, eyes closed.

"Oh no!" Kagome cried.

The girl's eyes suddenly burst open and stared at the girls. Sango flinched, but Kagome screamed. The strange girl was startled and flailed in the water until she snapped up, coughing and wiping water off her face.

"Why are you screaming?!" She screamed.

"You're in the river!" Kagome yelped.

The girl stared at Kagome, slowly looked down at the river, and back up, "So it would seem." She said simply.

"Uh, WHY?!" Kagome questioned.

She shrugged, "Dunno, felt like it."

She jumped out of the river, brushing water off her shiny, light blue kimono.

"Well, goodbye!" She grinned and turned.

"Wait!" Kagome shouted.

The girl sighed and turned back, "Yes?" she asked impatiently, flipping her short black hair over her shoulders.

Kagome glared, "You have a fragment of the Shikon Jewel around your neck."

The humor disappeared from the girl's face, and her hand flew to a small locket attached to her necklace, "How..?"

Inuyasha stepped forward, "Hand it over, or else."
She stared at Inuyasha's demon doggie ears, the sides of her mouth twitching.

She looked back at his unamused face and replied, "Alright."

Inuyasha and Kagome glanced at each other in confusion, both sharing a thought; Well, that was easy. She touched the locket and watched their faces grow more and more baffled. She suddenly threw back her head and laughed, "Baaaaaaaaaaka! (AN: Baka=Idiot) Do you really believe I'd give it up that easily?!" She giggled, "Not a chance! I have a feeling your collecting shards as well?"

"That's none of your business!" Inuyasha growled.

She rolled on the balls of her feet, "Tell ya what, if you beat me in a duel, I'll give you the shard, but if I win I get ALL of yours!" She smiled; this was all so simple to her, as if she was playing marbles instead of fighting to the death for an incredible power fragment.

"Inuyasha!" Miroku warned, "Don't do it, she's only human!"

The girl childishly stuck her tongue out at him.

"So you are called Inuyasha?" She collected.

He shrugged, "Yeah, and you are…?"

She took off a big, black bracelet from around her wrist, with a large blue jewel on it in the shape of a water droplet.

She held it above her head and cried, "Water wand!"

Before their eyes, the bracelet's black band stretched out and transformed into a staff, and the jewel flew to the top, stuck, and turned into a big, sharp, icy blade. She twirled the wand and slammed the end on the ground. She grinned at their awe-struck faces.

"I'm Kasumi, a water sorceress!" She winked.

Miroku saw a window of opportunity and ran to her. He knelt in front of her and clasped his hands around hers.

He smiled, "What a lovely name for a lovely maiden, I believe it means, 'victorious beauty'?"

She rolled her eyes, "'Katsumi' means 'victorious beauty'. 'Kasumi means 'mist'. Now if you don't mind." She pulled away her hands.

Inuyasha yanked Miroku by his collar, "Look Miroku, she's picking a fight, so what other choice do I have?"
"That's the spirit!" Kasumi cheered.

Inuyasha shot a look at her and threw Miroku to the others.

"It's your death bed." He reminded, and unsheathed the Tetsaiga.

She snickered at its thin blade, "Your kidding, right?"

He smirked, "Actually, yes." And the Tetsaiga transformed.

For a second, she could only stare, but she quickly collected herself, "Much better." She said sarcastically. She bounced side to side on her feet, swinging her wand.

"Let's fight!" She grinned.

Mysti-Reious: AND scene!

Kasumi: What?! But we didn't even start the battle!

Mysti: It's called SUSPENCE for the next chapter!
Kasumi: You know, your stealing this "interview" idea from Darkness Revolution.

Mysti: Shaddup! We're buds in real life and she said she didn't mind!
Kasumi: We don't need to know about your personal life, Mysti.

Mysti: -pulls out script and changes- Here.

Kasumi: -reads script aloud- As Kasumi tries to kill Kagome, Inuyasha raises the Tetsaiga and slices Kasumi right down…the…middle. -gulp- I-I'll be good Mysti! Please change it!

Mysti: -erases page-

Inuyasha: Wait, why am I protecting Kagome?!

Mysti: 'Cuz you always do! Plus, you guys eventually end up together.

Inuyasha: -blush- W-whaat?! I mean, ah! Gross!

Kagome: Why you…SIT!

Inuyasha: -crash- OW! That's why!

Kagome: Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit sit sit sit sit boy!

Mysti: Ahhhhh! Thank God I don't own Inuyasha! Save yourself! And R&R!

KAGOME: SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
