ch. 8! this one is dedicated to all the people who have left a comment, cause they're the only reason I kept on writing this, so if you want to be a part of this just leave a comment!

also, to make up for such a short ch. 7, I made this a lot longer than I'm used to making. Hope u enjoy!

note: I'm not going through the whole "get the tetsusugai! Kill brother" thing, I want to move on with the story and I'm afraid I'm a bit too lazy to waste chapters on that, besides, I can't think of a way to change it and I'm sure it would bore you to read it when you already know what happens from the episode. So guess what? Inuyasha has the tetsusaiga now! Also, this means that some time has passed and that the relationship with the two is just a little bit better than before, though not by much. In other words, Inuyasha values Kameko's life just a bit more at this point. I'm really sorry for those who are disappointed, but I just couldn't bring myself to write that part, I had no inspiration whatsoever. Also, I am just plain impatient to get all the characters in because all my ideas for this fanfic have them in it. Again, Sorry! Just go watch the episodes and pretend that happened here.

ch. 8

The next morning, while Kameko was practicing with her sword and Inuyasha sat bored nearby, the sky suddenly turned dark. The area filled with dark ominous clouds and a loud booming voice came from overhead.

"I see you possess shards of the sacred jewel," it bellowed, "Surrender them to me or else!"

Inuyasha jumped up and surveyed the area. His hand inched towards the tetsusaiga(sp?). He heard a loud popping noise and a giant pink bubble appeared. It floated over to Inuyasha's head, as if attempting to eat it. A look of utter annoyance passed over Inuyasha's face.

"Hey! I didn't know you had gum in this era," Kameko speculated sarcastically.

"We don't!" Inuyasha growled as he punched off the floating dodgeball. Another popping sound was heard and the pink balloon tranformed into a little kid. Inuyasha picked it up by the tail, wondering what the heck was going on.

"Cool! It's a rabbit!" Kameko said as she fawned over it.

"I'm a fox darnit! And unlike this hanyou here I'm a full fledged demon! Now hand over the jewel before I have to hurt you," threatened the miniature demon.

Kameko and Inuyasha just laughed. The little demon continued to rant on as a small speck jumped onto Inuyasha's nose.

"Ah, master Inuyasha! Always a pleasure!" said the speck as it made a sucking sound and grew.

"Myoga, what are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked as he smacked the speck. It flattened and slowly fluttered to the ground.

"Nobody appreciates the life of a flea."

"Well, spill, why are you here Myoga?" Inuyasha asked. Myoga went on about saying how he didn't need a reason, while Inuyasha retorted by asking who he was running from this time.

"They've forgotten all about me haven't they?" the little fox demon asked, still being held upside down by the tail. Inuyasha and Myoga were chattering, oblivious to his presence.

"Yeah, pretty much," Kameko said as she gently picked him out of Inuyasha's grasp, "So what's your name anyway little rabbit boy?"

"My name's Shippo and I'm not a rabbit! For the last time I'm a fox demon !"

"But your tail looks so much like that of a rabbit. It's soft too!" Kameko pointed out as she randomly poked the little fox tail.

"Stop it! Just hand over the jewel shards and I'll be on my way if you please."

"Fat chance pipsqueak!" Inuyasha shouted as he finished his conversation with Myoga.

"SIT BOY!"

"Aaagh!"

Kameko reached into her bag and pulled something out. She then bent down to Shippo's level and handed the object to him, it was a colorful little ball on a stick. Shippo took it cautiously from her, wondering what it was.

"You eat it," she said. Shippo put the stick into his mouth. "No! You eat the little ball! It's a lollipop."

Shippo slowly stuck out his tongue, poking the candy with it. A smile instantly spread over his face and as he popped it into his mouth, sucking joyously. Kameko gave a wide grin.

"So, what would a little kid like you want to do with the jewel?" she asked curiously. Shippo glanced up from his treat.

"To get revenge. My father was a great fox demon who was killed by the northern wolf clan. Their leader has jewel shards. If I wish to exact my revenge I need jewel shards as well," he explained as he stared down intently at his lollipop.

"You poor thing. We could help you exact your revenge," Kameko suggested.

"What?! Why the heck would we help that shrimp?" Inuyasha shouted in bewilderment. Kameko stood up to face him.

"Because! He's all alone! We could at least help him!" Kameko replied, "Besides, did you even stop to consider that in helping him we would also get the jewel shard from the people he needs to avenge?!"

Inuyasha stopped short. He hadn't thought of that.

"Hmph. Fine, we'll help the little fuzzball, but he better be telling the truth," Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest as he reluctantly gave in.

"When are we actually gonna find something! I losing my mind here!" Inuyasha shouted over the cliffs, listening as it echoed over and over.

They were walking up the cliffs on a small path. Not too far below the edge a river flowed not so gently down.

"Oh can it! We'll find it when we find it! Now, are you sure this was the way Shippo?" Kameko confirmed with the fox demon. Shippo nodded confidently.

Inuyasha continued ranting on about how pointless this was. Kameko gave a loud sigh and pulled out her jewel shards. There were quite a few in there, but it still wasn't the whole thing. She wondered if they would ever get them all.

"Hand over the jewel shards and no one gets hurt!" bellowed a voice from above. The gang glanced up to see a pack of young men adorned in armor and fur. Wolves accompanied them, their eyes pining for blood.

"Ha! Not in your lifetime!" Inuyasha countered as he unsheathed his Tetsusaiga.

"Attack!" shouted their leader, who was a bit taller and more muscular than the rest. His long black hair was fastened into a high ponytail.

The pack didn't hesitate to follow his orders as they pounced an the small group, easily outnumbering them.

"Inuyasha, the leader, he's got two shards in his legs and one in his right arm," Kameko whispered to him in a low voice.

"Got it."

With this Kameko unsheathed her sword, unaware of the leader's sharp ears, and what they had just picked up. Hmm, he thought, so she can see the shards. That ability might come in handy for me.

Kameko's hands twisted gracefully as her sword cut through her opponents. When her sword cut, it didn't really cut like a normal sword. It cut with a white light that cut into the opponents' soul, purifying and ridding of her opponent. Or at least lying them unconscious and unable to fight. Inuyasha was swinging his Tetsusaiga at the leader, his head boiling from the multiple "mutt" jokes he was endlessly receiving from him. He and Kameko were giving it their best, but they were too easily outnumbered. They could only hold them off for so long.

"Kameko! Help!"

"Shippo?" Kameko spun around as she saw a wolf demon throw him off the cliff and into the river. He turned around and faced Kameko, begging her to just ty and take him on.

"Outta my way!" she shouted as she kicked him in the stomach and jumped over the cliff.

"Kameko!" Inuyasha shouted as he turned to jump after her. Something bonked him on the head and everything quickly turned black. Inuyasha fell to the ground unconscious. The leader smirked, holding his fist high. He turned to his clan.

"Ok everybody, we're done here! Head back to the cave!" he ordered.

"But what about the jewel shards Kouga?" one of them asked curiously.

"Heh. I'll take care of those. I'll just follow the river. Now head back!"

The clan and Kouga headed their separate ways, both feeling a victory.

Kameko swam with precision through the water towards Shippo's cries.

"Hang on Shippo! I'm coming!" she shouted as the she fought the river's strong current.

Once she was a few feet away she reached out and grabbed him. Unfortunately this caused her to lose focus and the strong current quickly rendered them helpless. Kameko struggled to swim against it once again, but it was useless, the current had gotten too strong. What were they going to do?

"Kameko, I'm scared," Shippo squeaked.

"It's ok, I'll get us out of this, you'll see," Kameko assured him, hoping she sounded more convincing than she felt.

There was a rumble from above. Kameko looked up just in time to see the rocks falling from the cliff above.

One fair-sized rock bonked her on the forehead. She lost her concentration as a small trickle of blood ran down her face. Everything started to go blurry, the world was turning black.

"Gotcha."

A rough yank on the collar of her shirt brought Kameko out of her daze. She was wide awake as she felt herself being pulled out of the river and into the air, hugging Shippo so that he wouldn't fall. The hand that grabbed her wrapped around her waist and pulled her close. At first Kameko though it was Inuyasha, but after glancing up she saw it was far from it.

"Put me down you creep!" she shouted as she struggled out of his grasp.

"Fat chance, you can see the jewel jards, so your my secret weapon against the Birds of Paradise," he explained coolly, his grip ceasing to loosen.

"The what-now? I don't care what you want, I'm not helping you. Now put me down!" she rose her fist to punch. Kouga noticed this and snickered.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, if I let go, it's a pretty long fall to the bottom."

Kameko looked down and swallowed a scream. He was right, she had no choice but to stay still.

"You better hope never to put me down, cause when you do I'm punching your lights out," Kameko warned angrily. She did not like being thought of as some damsel in distress or something.

"Ha, don't make me laugh," he sneered as he continued to jump high through the air towards his cave.

"You think it's alive?"

"I don't know, but I wouldn't get too close to it if I were you."

"Oh come on, what could happen?"

Inuyasha heard these voices swimming around him, and when he felt a finger poke his cheek his hand rose up and grabbed it.

"Ah! It's alive!"

"Of course I'm alive!" Inuyasha shouted angrily as he stood up groggily.

He let the finger go and looked at the two people in front of him. There was a man and a woman. The man looked like a monk, for he was dressed in dark purple and black robes and was holding a staff. The girl had on a normal kimono, the only thing that set her apart from a normal woma was the giant boomerang slung on her back. The monk brought his staff up under Inuyasha's neck. It made a small jingling sound.

"What is your business here?" he demanded. Inuyasha scoffed and pushed down the staff.

"Cool your jets, I'm just here with-" Inuyasha suddenly froze midsentence and started looking around frantically.

"Have you lost something?" asked the woman with the boomerang on her back.

"Where is she? Her and that little shrimp, where'd they go? I remember now, the wolf tribe attacked. And she jumped into the river-" Inuyasha turned to the river, but all he saw was the raging water. He growled, "That stupid wolf! When I get my hands on him I swear I'll-"

"Calm down!" the monk said as he grabbed Inuyasha by the collar, "What business do you have with the demon wolf tribe?"

"Revenge for a pipsqueak and jewel shards, now let me go, I need to go find Kameko and the shrimp!" Inuyasha shouted as tried to make the monk let go of him.

"So I see, I guess we have a common goal then," the young woma speculated.

Inuyasha stopped struggling and slowly turned around, "Huh?"

"We are also hunting for the jewel shards, for our own reasons of course. Also, if it helps you any, I think we saw a member of the wolf tribe carrying a girl towards their lair, it might have been your lover perhaps," said the young women. Inuyasha's face turned beet red.

"She's not my lover! She's just with me because she can see the jewel shards is all!" Inuyasha protested somewhat too loudly.

"Calm down, calm down. We're just saying we've seen her is all. Since we have a common goal we should probably go there together," suggested the monk. Inuyasha turned his head away.

"Hmph, I don't need any help from couple of mortals," Inuyasha said defiantly. He found the lady's boomerang at his neck.

"We may be mortals, but we're stronger than we look, trust me," warned the young woma.

"You're a demon slayer aren't you? I've heard of your people, you go around slaying demons for people," Inuyasha realized.

"That's right. I am Sango of the demon slayers, the last of my kind. And the lecherous monk here is Miroku."

"Did you say it was a young women who has been kidnapped? My my, we should make haste immediately!" Miroku said as he started off in the direction of the lair. This was followed by a bonk on the head from the demonslayer.

"I know what you're thinking you pervert, and if you even think about it I'll slay you along with the demons," she warned.

Inuyasha just stood there, how had this happened? First the crazy girl from the future, then the fox shrimp, and now a lone demonslayer and perverted monk. Why him? Why?

Ok, well, I hope that was ok. I promise the next chapter will be more interesting. There'll be some fighting, some tears, and even a little falling in love(you know who I mean of course, it so funny in the manga and tv show that I couldn't bare to leave it out).
