To say that she was pissed, would be an understatement. Miroku was once again flirting with the young women. "Houshi! I think that it's time we leave!"

 

"But my dearest Sango, I think we should stay at least another night. We've no idea where the others are, and we have no idea how to find them."

 

"Well, I think we head toward Kaede's village. IIf nothing else, the others will more than likely be headed that way as well."

 

A sigh escaped him as he conceded to her. She did have a point. "Very well then. I suppose we should start off now then."

 

Sango looked at all the girls who were now frowning. She growled to herself as they all tried talking Miroku into staying. "It's time to leave!" She grabbed his arm and dragged him off. Not positive on exactly which way to head, but positive that she wanted to get away from the irritating girls.

 

**&**

 

Inuyasha woke up in the tree and decided he'd set out for the village. If nothing else, he was sure everyone would head there. If not, then he'd head out to look for them. He hoped that Kagome would be alright, but he seriously doubted she'd be able to manage on her own for too long.

 

She was just too weak. He also knew that she only had Shippo with her, and that kit was more of a hinderance than a help. Though Shippo would be good at sniffing out demons and possible sensing them faster than Kagome could.

 

He cursed Naraku as he continued to the village with Kirara in his haori. Inuyasha knew that he'd pull some stupid stunt, and now thanks to Kagome, the jewel was shattered once more. He was really going to chew her out for that when she got back. He had no idea why she even did it, but it had been a good way from keeping the jewel out of Naraku's hands.

 

A sigh escaped him as he hurried his pace. Hopefully Sango and Miroku would make it to the village around the time he did. Then they could go look for Kagome and the runt. He swore that the girl was just too much trouble. He couldn't wait to be able to be with Kikyo.

 

**&**

 

"Naraku! AH... Oh gods.... YES!" Kikyo screamed as the evil hanyou pleasured her body.

 

"You like that, don't you? You enjoy being alive again, don't you?"

 

"Yes, yes I do."

 

"I think that it's time we put the plan into action my sweet kuromiko."

 

"Hai, I'll go to Inu soon. For now though, I wish to play some more."

 

**&**

 

Kagome sighed as she rocked Shippo back and forth. Sitting here was absolutely boring. Though, the demon never said she couldn't explore. Laying Shippo down, she began wondering throughout the caves. She did find an underground river in one of the caves. Making a mental note of the location, she moved on.

 

The demon had left only a little while ago, and she hoped that it was to find food. She was kinda hungry. Coming across another cave, she squealed in delight. She had found a hot spring! Quickly returning to Shippo, she grabbed him and went back to the spring.

 

Quickly stripping, she folded up the kimono and then undressed Shippo. His wounds needed to be properly cleaned. Laying him down in the shallow part, she took off her makeshift bandages and submerged them. Washing them as best she could, then she grabbed his clothing and washed them.

 

Oh how she wished she had her backpack, but no. She just had to leave it behind. Maybe she'd be able to go back and get it, then she could even have her own clothes. She sighed and swam over to Shippo and gently scrubbed the blood off of him.

 

**&**

 

Hiei was out hunting. He knew that the onna would get hungry soon, so he figured that he might as well get food. Finding himself back at where he had found the onna, he looked around. There was a big yellow bag, a bow, and the scattered arrows. Sighing to himself, he picked up the arrows and grabbed the rest.

 

She needed to be able to protect herself if she left the cave. Which she'd probably do to let the kit play when he was healed. He just had to make her swear not to use the bow on him. Of course he could easily get it from her if she tried, he just didn't wanna worry.

 

He found a deer and killed it. Cleaning it up before he returned to the cave. The onna was no longer where he had left her, and the kit was also missing, though he could tell they hadn't left the caves. He dropped her stuff and hung the meat before following her scent.

 

Upon entering the hot springs, he found her. And what a sight she was. Water was glistening on her skin as she relaxed within the water. Apparently she liked to bathe. That was a plus in his opinion. The kit was also in the spring, though still unconscious. The girl sighed as she moved toward the kit. "I guess I need to get us out of here. I don't want the demon mad at me for disappearing and using the spring."

 

When she stepped out of the water, Hiei's breath caught. She truly looked amazing with the water traveling and glistening down her skin. The only flaw that he could see was the scar on her side. It looked like a bite mark to him. She pulled on the kimono and then dressed Shippo. Picking up the bandages, she started to leave when she noticed the demon was there.

 

She turned bright red upon noticing. "Umm.... How long have you been there?"

 

"Long enough. I brought back venison."

 

Mmmm... deer meat. At least it's not the usual ramen. "Ok, would you like me to cook some then?"

 

"Hn." He turned and walked away.

 

Kagome almost growled at him. She left with Shippo and returned to the entrance of the cave. There she found her bag, bow, and arrows. "Wow, never thought he'd get these for me." She mumbled to herself as she dug through her bag. "Aha!" Pulling out her first aid kit, she stripped Shippo. Then she began treating his wounds.

 

She sighed as she finished wrapping them. Digging around her her bag, she pulled out a pair of pajamas that she brought for him. At least he doesn't have to sleep in his torn clothes. Pulling out some utensils, she set them aside and went outside. Gathering sticks, she returned and started a small fire before going over and cutting off some of the meat.

 

Gathering the few herbs she had left, she seasoned it and placed it on the fire. Tomorrow she'd go see if she could find more herbs. She'll be needing some for Shippo as well, and she'd also try to meditate and bring out her healing powers.

 

She looked at Shippo as he lay there healing. He was a cute little boy with reddish orange hair, green eyes, pointed ears, and his tail. His tail was absolutely beautiful, and she loved to stroke it. She sighed as she thought about how she could've lost him. Deciding that she'd ask him if he wanted to be her son when he woke, she turned her attention back to the food.

 

Hiei watched her and read her thoughts. When the meat was done, she offered him some. He took it and left. The first bite had him amazed, the human knew how to cook to please a demon. He decided to ask her about it, so he returned to figure it out. She smiled and laughed.

 

"I have to cook for an inu, and he's testy if it's not prepared just right. Shippo can eat almost anything, but Inuyasha is picky. I also normally have to cook for Sango, Miroku, and Kirara."

 

"Who are they?"

 

"Miroku is a monk and a total lecher, Sango is my demon exterminator friend, and Kirara is a fire neko. I should also mention that Inuyasha is a half dog demon."

 

"That is an odd group. Where are they?"

 

"I'm not sure. We were battling Naraku and trying to retrieve the Shikon. When I realized we couldn't, I re-shattered it and purified most of his body. He's more than likely regenerated by now and after me. I believe that Kikyo has lost her ability to see the shards, which leaves only me."

 

This woman continued to intrigue him. She was a miko who wished to adopt a kitsune pup, and she traveled with a full demon neko and a half dog demon. Not to mention a slayer and a monk. She could also see shards of the Shikon No Tama and she shattered it, again. "You can see the shards?"

 

She smiled sadly. "Yes, and it's my duty to collect the shards and put it back together. I bet that Inuyasha's mad that I shattered it a second time, but it was the only way to keep it from Naraku."

 

"How long have you been fighting against this Naraku?"

 

"About a year. Inuyasha and his love were tricked into killing each other fifty years ago, and he found out when we met Miroku. Almost everyone in the group has been affected by the evil hanyou."

 

"How so?"

 

"Well, Inuyasha and Kikyo were tricked. Kikyo sealed Inuyasha to the Goshinboku, then died from an injury inflicted by Naraku. He can shape-shift, and he took the form of Inuyasha to kill her. You see, if the guardian of the jewel has hatred and bitterness in their heart, the jewel becomes even more tainted. The jewel was burned with her body at her request.

 

Miroku's grandfather was cursed with an air void on his right hand. It passes from generation to generation. The void grows wider and the air stronger until it consumes the holder, and Miroku currently has it and no heir to go after Naraku should he die. Sango's entire village of exterminators were killed because of him. He also holds her younger brother prisoner.

 

Kohaku killed his father and a few other fellow villagers when he was possessed the first time. Then he slaughtered an entire village. There was a shard in his back that controlled him, but since Naraku had the entire jewel, he must be dead. Shippo is with us because his father was killed by the thunder brothers for a shard."

 

"How is it this Inuyasha travels with you if he was sealed, and how is the jewel back?" Hiei was curious now.

 

"Tell me your name and promise not to tell anyone my secret, then I'll tell you my whole story."

 

While he could simply pry into her mind and get it, he figured he'd humor her. "Fine, I won't tell anyone anything."

 

"And what about a name?" She asked happily.

 

Hiei smirked as a thought came to mind. "I suppose you will need to know what name to scream when I take you." His smirk widened as a dark blush stained her cheeks. "Hiei."

 

She smiled at finally having the handsome demon's name. "Well Hiei, it all started when I turned fifteen. I went into the well house in my time to look for my cat, and was dragged into the well and into this time. I ended up running from Mistress Centipede and into Inuyasha's Forest,

 

Inuyasha had somehow awoken and asked me if I wanted to live. Mistress Centipede had already bit the jewel from my body and swallowed it, then pinned me against Inu. I pulled out the arrow and he started laughing. Mistress Centipede's coils tightened around us, but he cut them to shreds. He then sliced the demon to shreds.

 

I pointed out the jewel and Kaede handed it to me. Inuyasha then tried to kill me.... And the evil witch kidnapped me and attempted to steal my soul. Inuyasha showed up and spoke Kikyo's name and my soul left me. She tried to kill him, but my body reacted to his screams and called back my soul. Kikyo still has some of it though.... Miroku tried to kidnap me.

 

He only managed to steal the jewel though, and we took off after him. He unleashed his wind tunnel and I put myself in the way to stop him. We tried talking to him after I stole the jewel back." She smiled at that. "He asked me to bear his child and Inu flipped. I think Shippo fell over laughing.... That's when I learned about my powers.

 

I used them against Sesshomaru... Sango attacked us thinking we were to blame for her village's destruction. We got Naraku to admit to it though, and Sango joined us.... And I got mad and blew up the castle with my arrow. I also managed to destroy the bastard's body... Koga kidnapped me and declared me his woman, which I repeatedly tell him I'm not.

 

He never listens though. I saved him from Inu after we defeated the birds of paradise.... And Kikyo just stole the shards and handed them over to Naraku. Next thing we know, we're dealing with incarnations. Kana attempted to steal my soul, but it just kept spilling from the mirror. I shot an arrow at her after she turned the wind scar back at Inu.

 

I managed to release the souls within it.... Tsubaki took control of my body, and I managed to send her curse back at her in the end. She fled though, and then became stronger. We ended up killing her though... And just recently we got into a large fight and I had to re-shatter the Shikon."

 

Hiei was almost in awe. This mere human had lived through all of that? Maybe he'd keep her around, she did seem pretty powerful. Though she wasn't trained. She also seemed to have no problems with demons, unless they attacked. "I have heard of this Naraku, but I didn't know he was a hanyou."

 

"Well, he used to be human. A bandit by the name of Onigumo."

 

Hiei was filled with rage and interrupted at that point. "Onigumo? I thought that bastard was dead."

 

Kagome gulped at the venom in his voice. "Well, he was severely injured from what I know. Kikyo kept him in a cave and took care of him. Though he never would've been able to move again. His body was badly burnt, and several limbs were broken. He came to desire Kikyo, and so he called forth demons.

 

They devoured his soul and merged with his body, thus creating Naraku. He wanted the jewel, and he wanted it tainted, so he set up a trap for Inuyasha and Kikyo to betray each other. He failed in what he wanted. He wanted Kikyo to wish on it to live, that would've tainted it further.

 

He's cast onigumo out before, and we've faced him. Never been able to kill him though. Naraku reabsorbed him before we could. That's the only thing that makes him half-demon, his human heart that still yearns for Kikyo. He's cast it out once more though. A baby incarnation that can control through your soul, he is the heart."

 

The temperature was starting to rise, and Kagome freaked. Ok, he's a fire demon I bet. She did the only thing she could think of, she wrapped her arms around him. "What's wrong?"

 

To say he was shocked, would be an understatement. The girl was hugging him. "I knew the bandit, I thought I as good as killed him."
