[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Miroku and InuYasha all gasped collectively. The young girl who had now declared herself as 'Lysi' smirked.

"What?" She asked softly. "Not what you expected?"

"T-to say the least..." Miroku stuttered.
and his two companions studied the girl, disbelief apparent in their eyes.

"I've never seen one before..." Sango breathed, stepping from behind Miroku's arm.

"Well, I knew they had to of existed... but we never came across one in all our travels, so I assumed they were scarce..."
scowled, not too fond of being discussed like she were some rare specimen.

"We are not scarce, we just choose to not show ourselves to mortals... we dog demons like to keep to ourselves."
who had been studying the soft, pitch black ears atop her head that were so much like his, looked down to her eyes. They were so green they looked like emeralds. He rose an eyebrow at her statement.

"Then why did you choose to reveal yourself now?" He asked, crossing his arms once again.
smiled slyly.

"I have a few... things... to attend to..." She replied.
wondered what she meant by that, and why she was looking at him the way she was, but only briefly. For Sango quickly piped up.

"Well, if you would like some company for the duration of your trip, we'd be happy to have you." Sango hoped she's accept the offer. She didn't too much like being alone with the guys when Kagome left for home, and this girl would make it much easier.
smiled at the offer that the lone girl made. 'This may be even easier than I thought...'

"Sure, I'd love to travel with you guys." She answered with a bright smile.
immediately brightened, then stepped to the young demon's side.

"Great. Come on, I'll show you where we're staying for the next few days."
nodded and followed Sango, leaving the boys behind.
watched them leave, still wondering about their new companion.

"Man, what a beauty!" Miroku piped up.
scowled at the monk, but couldn't help but agree.

"Yeah, but something about her doesn't seem right..."

led Lysi to Kaede's village, chattering all the way. Lysi simply smiled a pleasant smile and listened to the happy girl. 'She must not get much time with girls, besides the one from the future...' She thought, vaguely listening to what Sango was saying.
finally smiled politely, then interrupted Sango's constant talking.

"Um, not to be rude, but why are we staying at a village for so long? Why aren't we leaving in the morning?" She feigned the innocent act, acting as if she knew nothing of Kagome's existence.
furrowed her brow, not too able to understand how this pertained to demon slaying, but shrugged it off.

"Well, you see, um- we have another traveling partner, that- um, well, she returns home every once in a while, and we wait for her in this village." Sango had never thought about how to explain Kagome's time travel, but she thought she did quite well on the spot.
nodded, secretly relishing in the girl's confusion.

"Oh, alright. I just thought I'd check."
nodded, and returned Lysi's smile, then started up her discussion of demon slaying tactic where she had left off.
rolled her eyes, but continued to listen as they made their way to the village.
stretched out in her bathtub, groaning happily as the hot water lapped at her body.
this feels soo good...' She sighed and submerged her head under the water, relishing in the sweet warmth of it.


"So, you were looking out for me back then, huh?" InuYasha said thoughtfully.

"That I did." Lysi said with a smile.
two were perched high up in the branches of a tree just outside the village. Soon after his three companions had laid down to sleep, InuYasha had been summoned outside by Lysi. The night was silent, and the only noises around them was the soft wind.
broke the brief silence.

"So, that's how I knew your scent." He said with a smile. He then frowned slightly. "Wait, if you were watching me at the well, why didn't you just show yourself then?"
smirked, quickly recovering from the shock that a half demon as himself could have sensed her, even though she had masked her scent.

"Well, the truth be told, you looked like you were going through an emotional time at the moment. And, the whole 'wolf rescue' thing? I did that cause I thought it may make you feel better if you were able to help a lovely maiden in distress..."
smiled at the light blush that graced InuYasha's cheeks at that comment.
then nodded. "Yeah, I guess I was..." His voice was soft, and his eyes had a far-off look to them.
sighed softly, knowing that he was now thinking of that girl... Well, she'd fix that little problem with time.
