A/N: Sorry ahead of time if you guys don't like this. But I had to come up with some way for LeiLei to join them. I may have Kags and her be enemies, friends, or maybe even frienemies. Unsure at the moment, though the one who requested this should PM me and tell me what they'd like to happen. Anywho, hope you guys enjoy the chapter. I'll update when I can.

-Inuyasha-

"Come on! You guys are so slow!"

I yelled as Kagome and the others took forever, as usual, to wake up and get going.

"What's the rush Inuyasha?"

Miroku asked and I sighed.

"Do you want Naraku to get all the pieces of the jewel shard?"

I asked and they all shook their heads.

"I didn't think so, so get a move on!"

I snapped and they all groaned, but started moving a little bit faster. We finally got to the edge of the village but I stopped at the feel of a familiar jaki.

"Why'd you stop Inuyasha? Weren't you the one who was just harping on us to get going?"

Kagome asked and I scoffed at her before sniffing at the air. My eyes widened in shock as I recognized the scent coming our way.

"What is it Inuyasha?"

Sango asked seriously.

"Someone's coming this way."

I said and everyone got ready to fight.

"Is it someone we know or an enemy?"

Miroku asked and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Relax, it's a friend."

I said and they all straightened back up.

"Who is it?"

Kagome asked as she came up to me. I was about to answer when she suddenly shot out of the forest and tackled me to the ground.

"Inuyasha!"

The others yelled in shock but I ignored them as I grabbed hold of the girl ontop of me and rolled us over trying to pin her down. It was how we always greeted each other. She grabbed hold of my wrists and flipped me over her head and moved to pin me down, but I grabbed hold of her waist and rolled us over and pinned her down.

"I win."

I said and she glared up at me before a smile broke out across her face.

"It's good to see you Yasha."

She said and I smiled down at her.

"You too Lei."

I said as I let her up.

"Inuyasha, who is this?"

Kagome asked and I frowned as I looked back at her.

"This is Leiko. You weren't here the last time she came by."

I said and Kagome frowned as she looked Leiko up and down.

"Oh, I remember her!"

Shippo cried out and I smiled to myself when he jumped from Kagome's arms into Leiko's.

"Hey there little man."

She said with a smile as she hugged him close. I don't know why, but seeing her act so motherly with Shippo had a different effect on me than when Kagome did it. When Kagome did it it annoyed the hell out of me, but when Leiko did it it made me want to smile. I nearly laughed when I saw the look Kagome was giving Leiko. She was clearly jealous.

"How are you Leiko?"

Sango asked as she and Miroku came over. Leiko had stopped by last time while Kagome was back in her time for some test. She'd traveled with us until a messenger from the East had come and taken her back to the palace.

"I'm good, what about you guys?"

Leiko asked with a smile as she looked up at Sango, Miroku, and I. She was completely ignoring the fact Kagome was all but glaring at her.

"We're good, though Inuyasha was trying to get us to hurry out of the village. I guess it's a good thing we took so long after all."

Sango said and Leiko smiled at her.

"I would have found you guys anyway."

She said and I smiled at her. She turned to Kagome who narrowed her eyes at her.

"Here."

She said as she handed Kagome Shippo. I smiled at the fact the little runt seemed reluctant to go, but did it anyway.

"Hey Yasha, can I talk to you a moment?"

Leiko asked suddenly serious and I nodded before leading the way a little ways away from the group. I stopped when I was sure we were out of hearing distance.

"What's up?"

I asked and she sighed.

"I ran away from home."

She said suddenly and I froze.

"You what!"

I asked in shock.

"I can't stand it there Inuyasha. They act as if I don't even exist. Would it be alright if I joined your group and helped you find the jewel shards? Please, I promise I won't slow you down or anything. And you know I'm a good fighter. Please?"

She begged and I rubbed the back of my head awkwardly.

"I don't know….Kagome doesn't seem to like you all that much and the last thing we need is for you two to get into a cat fight."

I said.

"Please! I promise I won't fight with her unless she absolutely deserves it, and you know I can help when it comes to battles. Please Inuyasha!"

She begged and I sighed.

"Fine."

I said and she squealed in happiness before jumping and wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

She cried and I just awkwardly held her around the waist.

"S-Sure, no problem."

I said as she slowly let me go and stepped back.

"W-We should head back."

I said before walking past her and heading back towards the others. I could feel her happiness through her jaki and couldn't help but feel happy myself knowing I made her feel that way.

-Kagome-

"What do you mean she's joining the group!"
I asked in complete shock. One moment everything was fine and going the way it was supposed to, then suddenly this demoness shows up and Inuyasha randomly says she's joining our group.

"Just what I said. Leiko is coming with us and is going to help us hunt down the jewel shards."

Inuyasha said and I glared at the woman infront of me. She was pretty, I'd give her that, but that didn't mean I was going to let her be so close to Inuyasha. He was mine, I loved him. I mean, sure he didn't love me back, but I was working on changing that and if she was here then that wasn't going to happen.

"Well I don't like it."

I said crossing my arms.

"Well, then it's a good thing I don't care what you think."

Inuyasha said and I stared at him in shock as he and the others walked down the road heading towards the North. I growled in anger before stomping after them. Why was Inuyasha being so mean towards me? Didn't he like me anymore?
