�No! You can�t have one!�
�I only need one!�
�No!�
<Oh, you are so hard headed!>
�It doesn�t matter what you said. I�m not letting you take a shard!�
�I will bring it back!� she sighed and spoke calmly. �Kagome told me how it is the shards that allow her to go back and forth, so I need it to come back.�
�Why don�t you just stay gone!�
She sighed again.�Because, Sparky, I feel things happen for a reason and that I
should come back in case there is some even insignificant role that I should be here for.�
�We did just fine before you came and we�ll be fine with you gone. We haven�t done anything since you�ve been here.�
Kagome is beginning to get upset. This isn�t the way one likes to wake up at six o�clock in
the morning.
�Inuyasha....�
�No, Kagome. Thank you, but please let me handle this.� Cassandra responded.
�Let�s cut a deal, Lassie....�
�My name is Inuyasha.�
�First of all, it is not really your choice anyway. They are Kagome�s shards. I do understand your reluctance, but let us try to work out something. Assuming that Kagome agrees, you will be better off agreeing because she could always sit you until I�m gone. In exchange for you not giving me any problems, I�ll do something for you. I will give you something.�
�Like what? There is nothing you have that I want. Nothing!�
�Come on, is there anything you want? Anything from our time that you can�t get here?
...Food? Anything? Think about it....Hopefully, something cheap as ramen.� she mumbled.
Inuyasha�s ears perked up.
�Ramen?� he asked.
Cassandra looked at him. �Yes, you like ramen? I can get that easily.�
�How easily? How much?...Not that I care�
�I have a special connection called Walmart. I can get lots and lots of ramen. Is it a deal?�
Inuyasha looked at her suspiciously. Then, he looked at the shards.
�How do I even know if you�ll really bring some back?�
After a bit of negotiating, Inuyasha let Cassandra go without a fight and with a shard. She
left a promise of ramen, lots and lots of ramen.
