Hello, did you miss me? I'm sorry for not updating, but I couldn't find my note book. And I'm slightly ticked off at a certain reviewer with a closed mind, oh well.

Tenshi18; Chili cheese fries? Lol, were they good? I love hyper...........! Cupcake?!?! You're making me hungry, man.

SMARTcookie1; I don't think they will either, they'll probably help the people attacking me (-.-).

scrmngfairy; I stopped there 'cause I'm evil, but you love me anyway, right? ----wishful thinking ^.~ I have rubber kneaded erasers, they're fun because they mold to the shape of you hand. Hee hee.

Mangolious Kiwi; I was always the slightly odd one ^.^ .

Momentum; Yup!! ^.~ I'm smiley!

Isilelen; YAY!!! I'm not the only person that people run away from! Stupid minions lied to me...........

mkrayearth; forcing me? (-.-) Okay, I will do your bidding (not really, but, hey, just run with it. Not literally). You like the quotes? I only have a few omg quotes, I'll try and get more, though. Umi rocks! ^.^

Wolborg90; Hello, my friend! ^.^ I'm the strange one, bow down to me! JK, anywho, write your fanfic or I'll have to sic my dust bunnies on you.

Hikaru no Cephiro; If you don't like the pairs why did you bother reviewing? That's just a waste of time. I used those two because I could, that's why it's called a fanFIC as in fictional. It never really happened. Anyway if you are going to criticize the fanfic it might as well be constructive, 'cause other people do like this fic.

Well! that's that, and on with the fic.

*Inuyasha*

Those very eyes were locked on Umi. He stalked forward slowly, heading straight for her. Instictively I moved so I was inbetween the two.

"Don't interfere, half-breed." It growled it's voice was low and deadly, daring me to argue.

*Umi*

"Don't call him that!" I shouted, unexpectedly angry. What's up with you? You hardly know the guy, why would you care if someone called him a half-breed? The fact I couldn't answer myself irritated me.

"Is he not a half-breed?" The creature sounded slightly confused.

"Yeah, but there's more to him then that! And he does have a name, you know." I snapped. What am I saying?!?! Oh! Don't blush, don't blush!

*Inuyasha*

Is she blushing? Why is she standing up for me? For a moment there was nothing but silence. Even the trees seemed to be holding their breath.

"Then I am sorry. My name is Skurai." (Moonstorm; I'm obsessed with the cursed prosecutor ^.^, gomen.) he said, slightly bowing.

What's going on? "Is there something you need to tell me?" I asked Umi, watching her closely.

"Uh.........hehe......" she looked up in thought.

*Umi*

Could I tell him about Cephiro? And what's with Skurai? She stood there thinking for awhile before Skurai felt the need to intervene.

"I think the more important question is; do you realize your destiny?"

A/N; hehe, thought I'd stop there. Okay, I was wondering what song you'd think would be best for a lullaby. The choices are; Fairest Lady (my favorite), or that song from The Rescuers (I forgot the title). Pleae tell me which one so I can get the next chapter out. Thank you!
