"Yummo," The cat demon said enthusiastically before slurping the ramen noodles. He finished chewing and swallowed. "Thanks, I haven't eaten in days." He turned to Kikyo and grabbed her hand. "But I would really like to some of your cooking, my goddess."

"Get your hands off her!!!" Inuyasha karate chopped his arms away from Kikyo's. Ryuu moved his arm away. "Quit interrupting our nice conversation, mutt."

"Shut up, you pussy cat," Inuyashed punched his head.

Light pink tinted her cheeks, somehow, Kikyo felt welcome. If the cat half demon would have never came, she would have been alone with Inuyasha and his friends. She didn't mind Inuyasha, but the awkward glares she received from his friends made her feel uneasy. Miroku wasn't much of a problem, he was the only one out of the group of friends that was actually nice to her.

There was a huge blast that came from the village market place.

The gang ran outside to check what it was.

"My fruits! My fruits! You shall pay, you filthy demon!!!" The angry store owner jumped up and down with anger of the sight of his fruit on the floor.

Kikyo took out her bow and arrows and prepared to shoot.

A mole demon spout out from the ground another small store was destroyed. It rawrred and headed for Kikyo. Kikyo was about to shoot it, but Ryuu and Inuyasha killed it before she could do it herself. Suddenly more moles came out of the ground.

"Ahh! Inuyasha!!!!" Kagome screamed.

"Kagome!!!" Inuyasha ran towards her.

Kagome closed her eyes and put the bow in front of her to protect herself.

Sango and Miroku quickly got in front of her. "Are you alright, lady Kagome?" Miroku asked.

Kagome simply nodded.

Inuyasha stopped running towards her and looked back for anything that needed to be killed.

Kikyo felt a pat on the shoulder, causing her to quickly turn around. Kagura. Kikyo grabbed her arm and kicked her stomach. Kagura put on a surprised face and was thrown back by the kick. She's not as easy to capture like her reincarnation. Kagura stood up and took out her fan.

The others were to busy fighting the demons to notice their goddess was in danger. It was an easy kill, but what made it take long was the amount of them.

Kikyo aimed her arrow at Kagura and gave her a dead serious look. "What're you doing here?"

Kagura had a cautious look on her face. "Looks like your little boyfriend found a new girl. You know that very well don't you? But I advise you to watch her back too." Kagura smirked, hoping to have pushed a nerve.

But nevertheless, Kikyo remained with the same focused face. "I would have done that even if you didn't tell me so. Leave."

"Hmph," Kagura looked at her as if trying to figure her out. "You're no fun to play with. I really don't understand Naraku's obsession for you." She took the feather off her head and flew away.

"My Goddess, are you ok?!" Ryuu ran to her. "Did she do anything to you?"

Kikyo looked over at him and smiled, "Nothing's wrong at all." She put her arrow in her quiver.

"Kikyo, that's the first time I see you smile. It makes you look even prettier." Ryuu hugged her. "You'll never get hurt if I'm always by your side. You can count on me for that."

Inuyasha pulled him off of Kikyo, "Don't you touch her!!!"

"You can't tell me that, you ain't my daddy," Ryuu stuck out his tongue.

"I never said I was," Inuyasha punched him on the top of his head.

Ryuu rubbed his head and hugged Kikyo, "Don't worry Goddess, he's just jealous of our love for each other."

"I said, get off her!!!!" Inuyasha chased him away. "Dumb cat!"

"Stupid mutt!!!" Ryuu fought back.

"Stop, you two," Kikyo said.

"As you wish, my lovely goddess," Ryuu gave her a loving smile and bowed.

Inuyasha quit chasing him.

"Impressive, Lady Kikyo." Miroku headed towards them. "You could stop them fairly easily. But you know, you are my lady to protect too." Miroku groped her bottom.

Inuyasha and Ryuu jumped up to defend her. But Sango got to him first, "You idiot!!!!" She hit him on the head with her boomerang.

"Sa-Sango, forgive me." A bump grew on Miroku's head.

Kikyo stared at him innocently, not know exactly what to say. It surprised her that a monk would have such intentions.

"I'll kill you, Miroku . . ." Inuyasha growled.

"Not before I will," Sango glared at the lech.

Hmm, it seems I sort of knocked Kagome out of the limelight. Poor girl. Kagome stood in the background with a sad expression on her face with only a fox demon to be the limelight of. Kikyo forced a small smile to her, but failed miserably.

"Wh-what did Kagura say to you? Did she threaten you?" Kagome asked, trying to spark a conversation.

"No, she did not make a threat. Though she didn't say what she came for." Then her eyes widened. "Kagome, your shards, do you have them?"

Kagome dug into her uniform, "They're gone!"

"What do you mean they're gone!?" Inuyasha asked.

"They're just gone!" Kagome looked at him worriedly. "Wait never mind, here they are," Kagome smiled as she took them out.

"Jewel shards?" Ryuu asked.

"Yes, it's shards from the shikon no tama. Once you have them all together you can make a wish."

"That's sounds great, but how did it become shards?" Ryuu asked.

"Well-" Kagome was cut off.

"It was your fault that it broke. What kind of person would shoot at a jewel?" Inuyasha scoffed.

"SIT!" Kagome shouted.

Inuyasha fell to the ground. He spit out dirt, "What was that for?!"

"Sit!" Kagome shouted again.

"Kagome, I really don't think there's any need for the curse word here." Kikyo told her.

Kagome faced her. "He's being a complete jerk."

"Woah, how awesome. How the hell are you doing that?!" Ryuu asked.

"I do it by saying sit." Kagome turned around and walked away toward the direction of path that lead to the well. "I'm going home."

"You evil-" Inuyasha was cut off by another 'sit'.

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha." Kikyo apologized.

"Is that girl your owner?" Ryuu asked.

"No."

"She sure acts like it. You can be her's and I can be Kikyo's sounds fair?"

Kikyo sweat dropped.

"Hells no," Inuyasha bonked him on the head.

"Don't start again," Kikyo warned them.


Kagome walked through the woods, feeling rather annoyed.

"Kagome! Kagome!" Shippo ran to her. "Don't leave!"

"Don't worry Shippo, it won't be for long." She smiled. "At least I can count on you to cheer me up. Your a really good friend."

Shippo smiled proudly. "Really?" He shook his head, "Please don't leave so soon. Just cause Kikyo came doesn't mean you should leave. Inuyasha will find out soon that he's incredibly in love with you."

Kagome blushed, "Don't be silly! Why would I be in love with that stupid guy anyways? He's such a jerk too." Kagome tripped over a tree root. "Ouch . . . what was that?"

"Kagome, are you okay?" Shippo asked.

A girl with light blue hair appeared. She had it in a pony tail. Her Kimono was a green with hints of blue. She laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Shippo asked, getting in front of his friend.

"At her stupidity," She laughed some more, but then came to an abrupt stop. "You, are you the goddess?" She took a closer look at her face.

"Huh?" Kagome tried to pick herself up.

She pressed her nose against Kagome's. "Wait a sec, you're not her!"

"Wha?"

"You're a little uglier compared to her gorgeous appearance!! And that hair! Oh boy, do you got a hair problem or what?! " The girl spat.

Kagome fired up, "What did you say?!"

"Yeah, yup, you got a major hair problem, no one can compare to her beautiful long, flowing, dark hair." She squealed. "She's so cool!!!"

Kagome frowned. She must be talking about Kikyo.

"You must be one of her wanna be's. Very poor imitation, I must say." She stuck out her tongue. "You should be ashamed. Shame, shame on you!"

"Listen! I'm not her wanna be! I'm KA-GO-ME!!!"

"Look kid, I don't wanna play any games. I'm not a kid anymore now go play Kagome with some of your kid friends like this little fox right here!" She turned around.

"I'm not a kid!" Kagome yelled.

"Don't raise your voice at me!" The girl turned back around. "I don't like kids very much. So run along before I go completely berserk on you."

Kagome notched an arrow into her bow. "Don't come near. I'm not in a good mood."

A ball of fire gathered up in her hand, "I warned you."

Kagome let the arrow fly. It made a small cut in her cheek.

"Why you little-" the seventeen year old girl touched her cheek. "You'll pay for that!" She threw a fire ball at Kagome and missed.

It burned a part of Kagome's uniform, she screamed,

"Kagome!" Shippo threw a blue fireball at the other girl.

She ignored the weak attack.


"Was that Kagome?" Sango looked back at the forest.

"She's not alone," Inuyasha dashed into the forest along with the others.
