Authors Note: I’ll warn you now... this chapter has some good fluff.
Also, a reader came to me with the idea for a new character. So there is a new character in this chapter... this character is mostly the creation of a reader by the name of
Darkmoonfang. She and I both thought that the character would bring some good qualities to the story, and some comedic relief... even more so than the fighting twins... so if you
enjoy the new character you should thank Darkmoonfang for it. A lot of concepts revolving around this character and her parts of this story were mostly ideas of Darkmoonfang as
well.

Recap of Last Chapter:
“So, Inuyasha, Tama, how about some fishing?” Miroku questioned heading over toward where he heard water running a little ways from the clearing. The night went on the boys
brought back fish and Amé, Sango and Oki cooked for the guys. As they were all going to bed, Amé from her tree branch, which was much closer to Inuyasha’s than last time,
couldn’t help but notice that the houshi and taijiya were much closer than normal.

Chapter Nine: Life with a Kleptomaniac
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
It had now been six days since the day Sesshoumaru removed Kagome from the company of Inuyasha. Let us take a moment to go over what had happened in the past couple of
days. Sesshoumaru and Kagome have continued on with their budding romance. Sesshou-kun requested her presence in his study, every night after Rin had been put to bed so that
he and she could chat. Kagome was still teaching Rin who had quickly became a master at reading. She was already over halfway through with her second chapter book.
Sango and Miroku had admitted their feelings to one another, both stating that they had liked one another in secret for a while. They are now a couple and have declared such to
all of their friends. They knew that it is going to be a shock for Kagome when she finds out. Kilala and Suki have also formed a friendship with one another, they spend most of
their day running around and playing with Shippou and Oki.
Speaking of Shippou and Oki, they had been getting along great despite their difference in age. He was only half of her age after all. Oki had ditched her slightly (heh) annoying
older brother to play with Shippou and the two neko youkai. And Tama, well, he was bored to tears. He felt left out due to the fact that there were nine people and most had
paired off so he had to suffice with walking around by himself in most cases. That and brooding about wanting to slaughter Inuyasha. He had seen the things that were going on
between his baby sister and the hanyou. He wasn’t dumb.
Inuyasha and Amarante had spent the past couple of days growing closer. Every night when they would set up camp, Inuyasha and Amé would go off on their own saying that they
would be back in a while. They had shared a few short kisses between themselves, but nothing like the one from the East wing. That certain passionate kiss was yet to be
recreated, though I’m sure both were waiting for it to come.

With Inuyasha gang
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
It was early in the morning on the day before the group would reach the Western lands. No one was yet awake. Inuyasha and Tama were staked out in the tree branches, one on
each side of the small clearing. Amé had taken to sleeping on the ground after having a nightmare the first night they were out and she had fallen out of the tree she was sleeping
in.
Inuyasha’s subconscious heard a noise and made him wake up. He began looking around realizing that it was so early that the sun had barely risen. He felt like something was
missing and he started looking around himself. His Tetsusaiga was missing. He began looking around to see if it might have perhaps fallen off in the middle of the night while he
was sleeping and that would mean that it would now be resting safely on the ground.
He looked down and saw someone trying to sneak off, his Tetsusaiga clutched in their hand. “What the hell do you think you’re doing thief!” Inuyasha yelled, his voice waking up
the others around him.
The thief froze while looking up to Inuyasha and rubbing the back of their neck. “Oh sorry, was this yours? Well, you won’t mind if I take it!” The person smirked as they then ran
off.
It took a moment for the still slightly groggy group to realize that the thief had the Tetsusaiga. They all got up and ran after the thief. After the first two hours of the chase, Inuyasha
had to admit that this person, I say person as no one had yet deemed whether it be female or male, though they had been leaning toward the latter, but that this person was
something special to be a human. Yes it was a human, he could smell that it was human but could not tell it’s sex. The person ahead of them was very quick, faster than even him,
Kilala, and Suki.
The person was also very sneaky. I say sneaky because thy had some how managed to mask their scent about halfway through the chase and they would hide in a tree or bushes
while the others were still going forward and then the person would jump out of hiding and run in the opposite direction.
It was nearly nightfall before Amé coaxed Inuyasha to rest for a moment. They had once again lost the person they had been chasing. No one could smell the person anymore, nor
did they know in which direction they had went in. As they stopped in a clearing, Tama looked around and cursed
“Shimatta, this is where we started!” Tama growled angrily. The others looked around and realized that he was right.
“We should probably stay here for the night and start searching for them again in the morning.” Miroku said looking around at his tired comrades.
“Are you crazy, someone has the freaking Tetsusaiga! We can’t just sit around and wait for them to come back!” Inuyasha growled at Miroku.
“Calm down Inuyasha, we’ll find them.” Amé smiled at the hanyou beside her as he made his usual ‘Feh’ sound then leapt off into the forest. “Okay, I’ll go take care of him, you
guys get some firewood and start a fire, it feels like it might be cold tonight.” Amé said then went after him.
“Yeah I bet she’ll take care of him.” Miroku smirked after she had left. Then he got a familiar smack to the back of the head, but this time it wasn’t Sango, it was Tama.
“That’s my sister you’re talking about you damn hentai.” Tama growled at Miroku.
“Heh, sorry?” Miroku said while looking around and trying to act innocent.
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
With Inuyasha and Amarante
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Amé had to walk for a while before she found the hanyou sitting next to a large tree trunk, leaning up against it. She could tell that he had been angry, she hadn’t needed to follow
his scent when she was looking for him. She merely had to follow the path of destruction. He had destroyed quite a few trees on his way to the spot that he now rested in. She
walked up to him and sat down beside him to the left, he had his eyes closed and she leaned back against the tree. She was sitting directly beside him, their shoulders touching.
She reached over to where his crossed arms rested against his chest and placed one of her own hands on top of his exposed one. “Are you going to be okay Inuyasha?” She
questioned looking toward the man who now held a large part of her heart.
“Feh.”
“Inuyasha.” She sighed and removed her hand and turned in the other direction getting ready to get up and leave him. As she moved to get up he grabbed her arm lightly.
“I’m sorry Amarante.” He said softly. “I don’t mean to take it out on you, I’m just angry.” Amé smiled and sat down next to him, she knew that he would react that way.
“It’s okay Inuyasha, oh and don’t worry about Tetsusaiga, we’ll get it back.” She said as he pulled her back toward himself, this time placing his left arm around her shoulders
and rubbing her shoulder with his thumb, after she had settled in beside him. The top of his shoulder was at her eye level. She looked up to his face to see that he was looking out
in front of them. He looked a little troubled, she could however understand.
“I hope you’re right Amé.” He said simply, showing no emotion. ‘He truly is more like Sesshoumaru than he realizes.’ She thought as he continued to stare ahead of them and
she moved her face upward.
“You know I always am.” She whispered softly, making him smile. Yet he still seemed much too angry. Fortunately she knew how to fix that. As she pulled her lips away from
the side of his face, she left a soft kiss on his jaw. The reaction to her affection was a light squeeze from his left hand which was still rubbing patterned circles on her shoulder.
She was not at all satisfied with this. She leaned back up and starting at his chin she started placing kisses from his chin back up his jaw line and to where she had placed the
first.
This time he had a different reaction. She laughed at the soft purr that emitted from his throat making it vibrate across her lips. He reached over with his right arm and lifted her
face up to his with his index finger placed gently under her chin. Her eyes darted up to meet with his for a moment before a soft kiss began between the two. After a mere second
Inuyasha used his left arm that was still around her to draw her in nearer. He placed more force into the kiss as she began to grow impatient with the gentleness of his lips. His
hand left her chin and traveled down her body to rest on her hip. She placed her arms around his neck and he pulled her toward him further, so far in fact that she was now in his
lap.
Inuyasha, in an attempt to deepen the kiss even further, ran his tongue across her lips, which she parted as to let him have access to her mouth. His tongue began to ravish her
mouth, his tongue meshing with hers making her moan slightly, which in turn made him smile. They stayed in each others arms, mouths clashing upon one another for an amount of
time that to them was incapable of being counted.
They pulled apart, both breathing heavily, gasping for breath. She rested her head on his chest, he still had his left arm around her, except now it encircled her waist. He rested
his chin on the top on her head as she snuggled in closer to the warmth of his body.
“We should probably go back before Miroku get’s any bright ideas.” Inuyasha smiled after he had caught his breath.
“No, we have to talk first.” Amarante replied.
“About what?”
“About your temper Mr. Inuyasha.” She smiled.
“Feh, who cares?” He asked rhetorically.
“I do. Now, if we find this person then you are going to have to behave yourself. Otherwise you are never going to get Tetsusaiga back.” She replied.
“Do I really have to?” Inuyasha questioned with a groan.
“That depends, how much did you like that kiss and do you ever want it to happen again?” Amé smirked and chanced looked up at him.
“That’s torture. I’ll have to keep in mind that you don’t play fair.” Inuyasha stated with a huff.
“I play fair, just that it’s fair to me and not necessarily to everyone else.” Amarante giggled.
“It’s still not nice to kiss me like that and then blackmail me with it.” He said while shaking his head.
“You know you liked it.” Amé smirked as she leaned up and left a quick peck on his lips.
“Sure, and now, I’m going to play fair.” Inuyasha said with a look of amusement on his face. Amé looked at him quizzically while trying to figure out just what he had meant.
After a few seconds she knew exactly what it was that he had been talking about. Inuyasha had flipped her out of his lap and positioned his body overtop of hers on the ground,
while he began tickling her. She tried to push him away but he was too powerful.
“In...Inuyasha, quit!” She yelled from below him, while struggling against his weight.
“I think not .” He smiled as he continued to tickle her. He did not however realize that this was one thing that Amarante had never been quite fond of so when the familiar green
glow surrounded his body and he was tossed away from her body he became more than just a little shocked at her actions. He landed up against the tree that they had previously
been resting on with a thud.
“Oh, Inuyasha!” She yelled as she got up from the ground and moved toward his body as he tried to remove the grimace from his face. “Are you okay? I’m so sorry I didn’t mean
to, sometimes it just does that.”
“No, I’m fine Amé.” He smiled as he stood up from the ground.
“Are you sure?” She questioned him as she tried helping him up.
“Yes.” He replied. She lunged at him and threw her arms around his neck in a hug. His arms instinctively made their way around her waist, under the large cloak as usual.
“I really am sorry Inuyasha.” She stated into his ear.
“It’s okay Amé.” He smiled into her hair. He placed a soft kiss on her cheek as they pulled apart.
“Should we go back now?” Amarante questioned him as she looked up into his bright amber orbs.
“Iie. Let’s stay here a bit longer.” He smiled as he moved to sit back down by the tree, pulling Amé into his lap during the process. The moment she resided back into his lap, he
wrapped his arms around her and she leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder.
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
With The Others
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Tama and Miroku had left shortly after Amé to go firewood hunting and to fish for their dinner. They finally had found their way to the river when they noticed a very large
waterfall. The waterfall was nearly seven stories high and fell off of a large cliff that had small patches of vegetation growing from sporadic places. It was the beauty of the
waterfall that entranced Tama; it was the beauty of the creature bathing in the waterfall that entranced Miroku.
The creature in the waterfall was clearly a human woman. She was bathing completely in the nude, as if she did not care who or what seen her in her Kami given form. She was
very well endowed and had an amazing curvy figure. The only thing that would define her in the least bit as non-womanly, was her hair. Her hair, unlike most women of the day
who had long black hair, was a deep red in color, and was cut short and spiky.
It was this moment that Tama smacked Miroku in the back of the head. “Stop starring hentai, look at where her clothes lay.” Tama said in a hushed voice to the perverted houshi
beside him.
“Yes, they are manly looking are they not?” The houshi replied.
“That, and the Tetsusaiga rests beside them.” Tama smirked.
“You would be correct dear friend.” Miroku stated.
“Go back to camp quickly and retrieve Oki. She can recapture the Tetsusaiga and confront the young maiden.” The youkai said even softer than before.
“I could confront her.” Miroku smirked.
“You could, but you will not.” Tama replied while pushing the hentai back toward camp. Miroku ran as swiftly as his legs would carry him and then as he was told brought Oki
back within a matter of minutes. The woman had not yet moved, nor had Tamasine. Oki looked to her brother.
“What do you want me to do?” Oki questioned her onii.
“Retrieve the Tetsusaiga from there.” He said while pointing to where the Tetsusaiga rested a few feet from him, along with the maiden’s clothes and a small dagger. “I can not
touch it.” Oki complied and took the few steps toward where the Tetsusaiga rested near some very manly looking clothes. She picked up the Tetsusaiga and returned to where her
brother was standing. “Now, give the Tetsusaiga to Miroku. Miroku, you will return to camp. Oki and I will take care of the maiden.”
“Do I have to?” The houshi whined but upon finding a hand raised from the youkai he quickly moved to do as told.
“Oki, please, go take the maiden her clothing and ask her to dress. Make sure to tell her that no harm will come to her.” Tama said as he turned to go further down the river.
“Bring her back to camp with you. I am going to catch our dinner.”
Oki grabbed the young girls clothing and walked over to the waterfall to where she was bathing. She looked toward the girl before she spoke. “Excuse me miss.”
“Who? What?” The woman turned toward Oki who now handled her clothing. “You’re one of those who were chasing me today for that sword, are you not?”
“Hai, I am. The sword is being returned to it’s owner, and my brother, the prince of the Northern lands, requests that you dress and join us at camp, and he says that no harm will
come to you.” Oki smiled in most diplomatic voice possible, something that was always taught to the heirs of the lands. With of course the exception of Inuyasha.
“Okay.” The girl said simply moving to take her clothes out of Oki’s grasp and dressed, placing her dagger into the top of her very manly boots. Oki adverted her eyes from the
naked woman before her, she did not feel the need to know that much about the maiden so quickly. After the maiden had dressed she walked toward Oki. It was at this time that
Oki realized how they could have mistaken her for a man. The clothes that she wore were most definitely created for a man. And a large one at that. They were so large on the
maiden that they covered all of her womanly attributes.
“By the way, my name is Oki.” Oki smiled at the girl who had to be at least the age of her twin siblings.
“I am Inari.” The maiden replied. “I must apologize for taking that sword, it appears that I have a knack for stealing, I’m not sure why. I actually planned on trading it for some
food and new clothes. Men’s clothes are not comfortable at all.” She laughed, as did Oki.
“Well, the Tetsusaiga’s owner will not be happy with you coming back with me but my sister pretty much controls him so you have no worries there.” The hanyou smiled. “And
as for food and clothes, I’m sure that my brother expected you to need something to eat so you can have food. Also it just so happens that back at camp I have a bag with some
extra kimono’s. They might be a bit short, and a little tight, but they should fit you, none the less.
“That is very kind of you after the way I have treated you and your friends.” Inari smiled brightly.
“It’s not a problem.” Oki smiled back to the older woman. The two continued on in silence until they reached the campsite.
“Oh, so Miroku wasn’t lying then.” Sango smiled as Oki and Inari entered the camp site.
“No, he wasn’t. Guys, this is Inari. Inari this is Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kilala, and Suki.” Oki said while pointing out each person and youkai. “There are three more of us but
they are off playing in the woods so... for now it is just us.” The group sat around the fire that Miroku had managed to start and they talked about Inari’s little thieving problem.
She again stated that she can’t help it, it’s just something that tends to happen often.
After too long Tama returned with fish and Sango and Oki cooked the fish for everyone. It was not long after this that Amarante and Inuyasha returned. They walked back to the
campsite hand in hand and sat down next to one another, Inari sat opposite them. Amarante was too caught up in the glares from her onii to notice the girl across form her. After
they had sat down however, Inuyasha quickly found her.
“What in the hell is he doing here?” Inuyasha questioned and low growl emitting from his voice as he pointed at Inari and began to rise.
“What did we talk about Inuyasha?” Amarante questioned the hanyou as he swiftly moved to sit back down but his growl continued.
“Who are you calling a he?” Inari questioned before Oki snicked. “What?”
“Those clothes do make you look a lot like a man. Let’s get you changed.” Oki laughed at Inari as the two girls got up and made a move toward where Oki’s bag resided.
“That fine specimen of a woman...OWW!” Miroku started before being slapped by Sango. “Sorry my dear Sango, I apologize greatly.” Miroku smiled at the woman beside him
who only crossed her arms and stared at the houshi. “Right um, that maiden is a human by the name of Inari. She has a little problem with thievery but we did get the Tetsusaiga
back and she promises to try and control her stealing urges from now on.” Miroku then handed the Tetsusaiga to Inuyasha who looked as though he could have jumped for joy. But
too many people were simply watching. He was, however, happy enough to put his arm around Amé so that his left arm rested against her back and his left hand rested on her left
hip. She leaned into his warmth as Oki and Inari returned to the circle, this time with Inari in a proper Kimono.
As Oki stated, it had been a little too tight and was nearly three inches too short, but it was much better than the manly clothes she had been wearing previously. “So, Inari,” Oki
started. “where are you from?”
“Well, my parents died when I was a child at the hands of a youkai named Naraku and I was adopted by a family of neko youkai. I am told that this is where I get my speed and
agility. And in some cases I’m told that this is where I gained my thieving problem.” She then turned to Inuyasha. “I must apologize for that by the way.”
“Feh.” Inuyasha replied, that is until he received a warning glare from Amé “uhm, right, no problem.”
“Gee Inuyasha, don’t worry about scaring the girl off.” Amé joked while pushing him slightly with her shoulder.
“I just realized something.” Inuyasha said quietly, the void expression returned to his face.
“What is that Inuyasha?” Sango asked.
“We are now going to be late for picking up Kagome.” Inuyasha stated, the emotion returning to his voice.
“She will be fine Inuyasha, I have faith in Sesshoumaru.” Amarante replied.
“Feh, you would.” Inuyasha almost snorted. Amarante removed herself from Inuyasha’s grasp and moved to sit across from him on the other side of the small circle they all
created. “I didn’t mean it like that wench!” Inuyasha yelled but quickly found himself being throw by Amé’s green light. He landed nearly twenty feet away from where he had
been sitting.
“He’s worse than Miroku when it comes to learning the consequences of their same actions time and time again.” Sango smirked. Amarante would have laughed as well if
Inuyasha had not just previously hurt her feelings.
“Inuyasha’s a baka, don’t pay mind to him.” Miroku smirked from beside Inari who was now seated to the right of Amé.
“I wish I could houshi-chan.” Amarante whispered as Inuyasha appeared behind her. He rested his hand softly on her shoulder. She turned around and saw the sad look in his
eyes, she knew that he was silently apologizing to her, and he would make it up to her when the others were not around. She nodded softly allowing him to sit down to her left.
After a small amount of time, Inari turned to Amarante. “Is he retarded, he keeps staring at me.” Inari questioned while motioning to Tamasine, making Amé laugh.
“Yeah, kind of.” Amé said through giggles making Tama create a low growl at his sister.
“I suggest that we go to bed so that we can get up in the morning and finish gathering Kagome.” Sango smiled as she moved to go to bed. The others slowly following suit. This
night instead of Tama and Inuyasha being those who resided above ground, Tama took to the trees as normal, but his lookout counterpart was Inari who jumped up to the tree she
had seen Inuyasha in that morning.
This was mainly due to the fact that she had seen where Inuyasha was headed. Inuyasha moved swiftly next to Amarante who moved back to where she had been the night before.
She removed her cloak as she always did before going to bed, so as to use it for a blanket. Before she got a chance to sit down Inuyasha took the cloak from her grasp and set it
out on the ground and motioned for her to sit down.
He had removed his own haori and sat down next to her. He pulled her into his lap and draped his haori over her. She rested against him, and with his arms placed firmly around
her, the two of them drifted swiftly off into sleep, as did the rest of the group.

“Calm down Inuyasha, we’ll find them.” Amé smiled at the hanyou beside her as he made his usual ‘Feh’ sound then leapt off into the forest. “Okay, I’ll go take care of him, you
guys get some firewood and start a fire, it feels like it might be cold tonight.” Amé said then went after him.
“Yeah I bet she’ll take care of him.” Miroku smirked after she had left. Then he got a familiar smack to the back of the head, but this time it wasn’t Sango, it was Tama.
“That’s my sister you’re talking about you damn hentai.” Tama growled at Miroku.
“Heh, sorry?” Miroku said while looking around and trying to act innocent.

With Inuyasha and Amarante
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Amé had to walk for a while before she found the hanyou sitting next to a large tree trunk, leaning up against it. She could tell that he had been angry, she hadn’t needed to follow
his scent when she was looking for him. She merely had to follow the path of destruction. He had destroyed quite a few trees on his way to the spot that he now rested in. She
walked up to him and sat down beside him to the left, he had his eyes closed and she leaned back against the tree. She was sitting directly beside him, their shoulders touching.
She reached over to where his crossed arms rested against his chest and placed one of her own hands on top of his exposed one. “Are you going to be okay Inuyasha?” She
questioned looking toward the man who now held a large part of her heart.
“Feh.”
“Inuyasha.” She sighed and removed her hand and turned in the other direction getting ready to get up and leave him. As she moved to get up he grabbed her arm lightly.
“I’m sorry Amarante.” He said softly. “I don’t mean to take it out on you, I’m just angry.” Amé smiled and sat down next to him, she knew that he would react that way.
“It’s okay Inuyasha, oh and don’t worry about Tetsusaiga, we’ll get it back.” She said as he pulled her back toward himself, this time placing his left arm around her shoulders
and rubbing her shoulder with his thumb, after she had settled in beside him. The top of his shoulder was at her eye level. She looked up to his face to see that he was looking out
in front of them. He looked a little troubled, she could however understand.
“I hope you’re right Amé.” He said simply, showing no emotion. ‘He truly is more like Sesshoumaru than he realizes.’ She thought as he continued to stare ahead of them and
she moved her face upward.
“You know I always am.” She whispered softly, making him smile. Yet he still seemed much too angry. Fortunately she knew how to fix that. As she pulled her lips away from
the side of his face, she left a soft kiss on his jaw. The reaction to her affection was a light squeeze from his left hand which was still rubbing patterned circles on her shoulder.
She was not at all satisfied with this. She leaned back up and starting at his chin she started placing kisses from his chin back up his jaw line and to where she had placed the
first.
This time he had a different reaction. She laughed at the soft purr that emitted from his throat making it vibrate across her lips. He reached over with his right arm and lifted her
face up to his with his index finger placed gently under her chin. Her eyes darted up to meet with his for a moment before a soft kiss began between the two. After a mere second
Inuyasha used his left arm that was still around her to draw her in nearer. He placed more force into the kiss as she began to grow impatient with the gentleness of his lips. His
hand left her chin and traveled down her body to rest on her hip. She placed her arms around his neck and he pulled her toward him further, so far in fact that she was now in his
lap.
Inuyasha, in an attempt to deepen the kiss even further, ran his tongue across her lips, which she parted as to let him have access to her mouth. His tongue began to ravish her
mouth, his tongue meshing with hers making her moan slightly, which in turn made him smile. They stayed in each others arms, mouths clashing upon one another for an amount of
time that to them was incapable of being counted.
They pulled apart, both breathing heavily, gasping for breath. She rested her head on his chest, he still had his left arm around her, except now it encircled her waist. He rested
his chin on the top on her head as she snuggled in closer to the warmth of his body.
“We should probably go back before Miroku get’s any bright ideas.” Inuyasha smiled after he had caught his breath.
“No, we have to talk first.” Amarante replied.
“About what?”
“About your temper Mr. Inuyasha.” She smiled.
“Feh, who cares?” He asked rhetorically.
“I do. Now, if we find this person then you are going to have to behave yourself. Otherwise you are never going to get Tetsusaiga back.” She replied.
“Do I really have to?” Inuyasha questioned with a groan.
“That depends, how much did you like that kiss and do you ever want it to happen again?” Amé smirked and chanced looked up at him.
“That’s torture. I’ll have to keep in mind that you don’t play fair.” Inuyasha stated with a huff.
“I play fair, just that it’s fair to me and not necessarily to everyone else.” Amarante giggled.
“It’s still not nice to kiss me like that and then blackmail me with it.” He said while shaking his head.
“You know you liked it.” Amé smirked as she leaned up and left a quick peck on his lips.
“Sure, and now, I’m going to play fair.” Inuyasha said with a look of amusement on his face. Amé looked at him quizzically while trying to figure out just what he had meant.
After a few seconds she knew exactly what it was that he had been talking about. Inuyasha had flipped her out of his lap and positioned his body overtop of hers on the ground,
while he began tickling her. She tried to push him away but he was too powerful.
“In...Inuyasha, quit!” She yelled from below him, while struggling against his weight.
“I think not .” He smiled as he continued to tickle her. He did not however realize that this was one thing that Amarante had never been quite fond of so when the familiar green
glow surrounded his body and he was tossed away from her body he became more than just a little shocked at her actions. He landed up against the tree that they had previously
been resting on with a thud.
“Oh, Inuyasha!” She yelled as she got up from the ground and moved toward his body as he tried to remove the grimace from his face. “Are you okay? I’m so sorry I didn’t mean
to, sometimes it just does that.”
“No, I’m fine Amé.” He smiled as he stood up from the ground.
“Are you sure?” She questioned him as she tried helping him up.
“Yes.” He replied. She lunged at him and threw her arms around his neck in a hug. His arms instinctively made their way around her waist, under the large cloak as usual.
“I really am sorry Inuyasha.” She stated into his ear.
“It’s okay Amé.” He smiled into her hair. He placed a soft kiss on her cheek as they pulled apart.
“Should we go back now?” Amarante questioned him as she looked up into his bright amber orbs.
“Iie. Let’s stay here a bit longer.” He smiled as he moved to sit back down by the tree, pulling Amé into his lap during the process. The moment she resided back into his lap, he
wrapped his arms around her and she leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder.

With The Others
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Tama and Miroku had left shortly after Amé to go firewood hunting and to fish for their dinner. They finally had found their way to the river when they noticed a very large
waterfall. The waterfall was nearly seven stories high and fell off of a large cliff that had small patches of vegetation growing from sporadic places. It was the beauty of the
waterfall that entranced Tama; it was the beauty of the creature bathing in the waterfall that entranced Miroku.
The creature in the waterfall was clearly a human woman. She was bathing completely in the nude, as if she did not care who or what seen her in her Kami given form. She was
very well endowed and had an amazing curvy figure. The only thing that would define her in the least bit as non-womanly, was her hair. Her hair, unlike most women of the day
who had long black hair, was a deep red in color, and was cut short and spiky.
It was this moment that Tama smacked Miroku in the back of the head. “Stop starring hentai, look at where her clothes lay.” Tama said in a hushed voice to the perverted houshi
beside him.
“Yes, they are manly looking are they not?” The houshi replied.
“That, and the Tetsusaiga rests beside them.” Tama smirked.
“You would be correct dear friend.” Miroku stated.
“Go back to camp quickly and retrieve Oki. She can recapture the Tetsusaiga and confront the young maiden.” The youkai said even softer than before.
“I could confront her.” Miroku smirked.
“You could, but you will not.” Tama replied while pushing the hentai back toward camp. Miroku ran as swiftly as his legs would carry him and then as he was told brought Oki
back within a matter of minutes. The woman had not yet moved, nor had Tamasine. Oki looked to her brother.
“What do you want me to do?” Oki questioned her onii.
“Retrieve the Tetsusaiga from there.” He said while pointing to where the Tetsusaiga rested a few feet from him, along with the maiden’s clothes and a small dagger. “I can not
touch it.” Oki complied and took the few steps toward where the Tetsusaiga rested near some very manly looking clothes. She picked up the Tetsusaiga and returned to where her
brother was standing. “Now, give the Tetsusaiga to Miroku. Miroku, you will return to camp. Oki and I will take care of the maiden.”
“Do I have to?” The houshi whined but upon finding a hand raised from the youkai he quickly moved to do as told.
“Oki, please, go take the maiden her clothing and ask her to dress. Make sure to tell her that no harm will come to her.” Tama said as he turned to go further down the river.
“Bring her back to camp with you. I am going to catch our dinner.”
Oki grabbed the young girls clothing and walked over to the waterfall to where she was bathing. She looked toward the girl before she spoke. “Excuse me miss.”
“Who? What?” The woman turned toward Oki who now handled her clothing. “You’re one of those who were chasing me today for that sword, are you not?”
“Hai, I am. The sword is being returned to it’s owner, and my brother, the prince of the Northern lands, requests that you dress and join us at camp, and he says that no harm will
come to you.” Oki smiled in most diplomatic voice possible, something that was always taught to the heirs of the lands. With of course the exception of Inuyasha.
“Okay.” The girl said simply moving to take her clothes out of Oki’s grasp and dressed, placing her dagger into the top of her very manly boots. Oki adverted her eyes from the
naked woman before her, she did not feel the need to know that much about the maiden so quickly. After the maiden had dressed she walked toward Oki. It was at this time that
Oki realized how they could have mistaken her for a man. The clothes that she wore were most definitely created for a man. And a large one at that. They were so large on the
maiden that they covered all of her womanly attributes.
“By the way, my name is Oki.” Oki smiled at the girl who had to be at least the age of her twin siblings.
“I am Inari.” The maiden replied. “I must apologize for taking that sword, it appears that I have a knack for stealing, I’m not sure why. I actually planned on trading it for some
food and new clothes. Men’s clothes are not comfortable at all.” She laughed, as did Oki.
“Well, the Tetsusaiga’s owner will not be happy with you coming back with me but my sister pretty much controls him so you have no worries there.” The hanyou smiled. “And
as for food and clothes, I’m sure that my brother expected you to need something to eat so you can have food. Also it just so happens that back at camp I have a bag with some
extra kimono’s. They might be a bit short, and a little tight, but they should fit you, none the less.
“That is very kind of you after the way I have treated you and your friends.” Inari smiled brightly.
“It’s not a problem.” Oki smiled back to the older woman. The two continued on in silence until they reached the campsite.
“Oh, so Miroku wasn’t lying then.” Sango smiled as Oki and Inari entered the camp site.
“No, he wasn’t. Guys, this is Inari. Inari this is Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kilala, and Suki.” Oki said while pointing out each person and youkai. “There are three more of us but
they are off playing in the woods so... for now it is just us.” The group sat around the fire that Miroku had managed to start and they talked about Inari’s little thieving problem.
She again stated that she can’t help it, it’s just something that tends to happen often.
After too long Tama returned with fish and Sango and Oki cooked the fish for everyone. It was not long after this that Amarante and Inuyasha returned. They walked back to the
campsite hand in hand and sat down next to one another, Inari sat opposite them. Amarante was too caught up in the glares from her onii to notice the girl across form her. After
they had sat down however, Inuyasha quickly found her.
“What in the hell is he doing here?” Inuyasha questioned and low growl emitting from his voice as he pointed at Inari and began to rise.
“What did we talk about Inuyasha?” Amarante questioned the hanyou as he swiftly moved to sit back down but his growl continued.
“Who are you calling a he?” Inari questioned before Oki snicked. “What?”
“Those clothes do make you look a lot like a man. Let’s get you changed.” Oki laughed at Inari as the two girls got up and made a move toward where Oki’s bag resided.
“That fine specimen of a woman...OWW!” Miroku started before being slapped by Sango. “Sorry my dear Sango, I apologize greatly.” Miroku smiled at the woman beside him
who only crossed her arms and stared at the houshi. “Right um, that maiden is a human by the name of Inari. She has a little problem with thievery but we did get the Tetsusaiga
back and she promises to try and control her stealing urges from now on.” Miroku then handed the Tetsusaiga to Inuyasha who looked as though he could have jumped for joy. But
too many people were simply watching. He was, however, happy enough to put his arm around Amé so that his left arm rested against her back and his left hand rested on her left
hip. She leaned into his warmth as Oki and Inari returned to the circle, this time with Inari in a proper Kimono.
As Oki stated, it had been a little too tight and was nearly three inches too short, but it was much better than the manly clothes she had been wearing previously. “So, Inari,” Oki
started. “where are you from?”
“Well, my parents died when I was a child at the hands of a youkai named Naraku and I was adopted by a family of neko youkai. I am told that this is where I get my speed and
agility. And in some cases I’m told that this is where I gained my thieving problem.” She then turned to Inuyasha. “I must apologize for that by the way.”
“Feh.” Inuyasha replied, that is until he received a warning glare from Amé “uhm, right, no problem.”
“Gee Inuyasha, don’t worry about scaring the girl off.” Amé joked while pushing him slightly with her shoulder.
“I just realized something.” Inuyasha said quietly, the void expression returned to his face.
“What is that Inuyasha?” Sango asked.
“We are now going to be late for picking up Kagome.” Inuyasha stated, the emotion returning to his voice.
“She will be fine Inuyasha, I have faith in Sesshoumaru.” Amarante replied.
“Feh, you would.” Inuyasha almost snorted. Amarante removed herself from Inuyasha’s grasp and moved to sit across from him on the other side of the small circle they all
created. “I didn’t mean it like that wench!” Inuyasha yelled but quickly found himself being throw by Amé’s green light. He landed nearly twenty feet away from where he had
been sitting.
“He’s worse than Miroku when it comes to learning the consequences of their same actions time and time again.” Sango smirked. Amarante would have laughed as well if
Inuyasha had not just previously hurt her feelings.
“Inuyasha’s a baka, don’t pay mind to him.” Miroku smirked from beside Inari who was now seated to the right of Amé.
“I wish I could houshi-chan.” Amarante whispered as Inuyasha appeared behind her. He rested his hand softly on her shoulder. She turned around and saw the sad look in his
eyes, she knew that he was silently apologizing to her, and he would make it up to her when the others were not around. She nodded softly allowing him to sit down to her left.
After a small amount of time, Inari turned to Amarante. “Is he retarded, he keeps staring at me.” Inari questioned while motioning to Tamasine, making Amé laugh.
“Yeah, kind of.” Amé said through giggles making Tama create a low growl at his sister.
“I suggest that we go to bed so that we can get up in the morning and finish gathering Kagome.” Sango smiled as she moved to go to bed. The others slowly following suit. This
night instead of Tama and Inuyasha being those who resided above ground, Tama took to the trees as normal, but his lookout counterpart was Inari who jumped up to the tree she
had seen Inuyasha in that morning.
This was mainly due to the fact that she had seen where Inuyasha was headed. Inuyasha moved swiftly next to Amarante who moved back to where she had been the night before.
She removed her cloak as she always did before going to bed, so as to use it for a blanket. Before she got a chance to sit down Inuyasha took the cloak from her grasp and set it
out on the ground and motioned for her to sit down.
He had removed his own haori and sat down next to her. He pulled her into his lap and draped his haori over her. She rested against him, and with his arms placed firmly around
her, the two of them drifted swiftly off into sleep, as did the rest of the group.
