Hey all! I'm back! And with some new reviewers! *Dances around happily* YAY! I still got grounded, so I'm sorry for not updating, anywho, for the reviewers;

scrmngfairy0; Two reviews?! Dude! no they're not going to the circus.......I not quite sure where tho, the story writes itsself, I just hold the pencil. Was your vacation fun? It's okay, I don't like signing in either. Yeah, I love my astrological sign, high green's cool. We test quickly at our Do Jang. I like sketching, yes, and now I have charcoal pencils! ^.^ It's alright! It makes me feel loved ^.^ *hugs you* just keep reviewing okay?

*Umi*
I can't believe he agreed! YAY! It's great to be traveling with someone, even if you don't know them that well. Or, come to think of it, where you are going. The area they were in was mostly forest, and there wasn't anyone in sight. Somehow, that doesn't really bother me.

"Who are you!?" a voice boomed through the trees.

Startled I tripped over my feet. GEEZ! How clutzy! I yelped in surprise, and failed in trying to regain my footing. Closing my eyes, I waited for collision. I waited a few minutes, but it never came.

Opening my eyes I realized that Inuyasha had caught me before my face had made impact withe the dirt. Grr! I'm such an idiot!

"Th..thank you." I stammered. I felt my face grow hot. What's wrong with you?

"Answer me, Trespassers!" the voice commanded,irritated.

A look of annoyance passed Inuyashas face." Why is it any of YOUR business?"

Not wanting a fight, I answered,"I'm Umi, and this is Inuyasha. Now, who, the hell, ARE YOU?!"

*Inuyasha*
I stared at Umi. That was unexpected. She noticed my goggling and grinned sheepishly.

"So, you have come." it was more of a statement than a question. It came into the clearing.

It was like a lion that lacked a mane....kind of. It was the kind of black that you could get lost in. The kind that haunts little childrens dreams. Its wings, yes wings, were slightly lighter. It had ice blue eyes, cold and distant.

A/N; there! Done! How was it, good? Bad? Indifferent? Review, please!
