Chapter One
He's The One

Disclaimer: Obviously I can make no claim on Inuyasha, but I own this story and all the side characters. :D
Author's Note: In case you are wondering, the two characters that I used here, Juromaru and Kagenoraru are actual characters in Inuyasha. It was around the time when Inuyasha couldn't lift his sword because it was so heavy. Juromaru was chained and Kagenoraru was inside Juromaru's mouth. (Kouga helped Inuyasha beat them)

The small figure in the shadows crouched even lower even though there really was no need since she seemed to blend in with the night. She scanned the area quickly and memorized every detail. Apparently her target's attacks were always during the full moon. She glanced at her watch. 11:53 p.m. She still had seven minutes till he came.
"Kagome."
The girl twitched in the shadows and adjusted her headset. She had it on for so long that she had forgotten that she was wearing it.
"Sango?"
"Kagome do you have everything?"
"Yes. I have the equipment right here. Microphone, mini camera, all your happy little gadgets. Ugh. Good thing you don't have any gadgets that can smell things. I've been in this alley for three hours. Next time you be the one to stand in week old garbage."
"I'll pass. Just remember, your job this time is to only gather information. Next time you can kick this guy's ass okay?"
Kagome smiled and opened her mouth to reply when she heard a soft crackle twenty feet from her. She spoke softly to microphone. "'Target' has finally decided to show up."
"Good luck."
Suddenly a person emerged from where the sound had been. Kagome held back an involuntary gasp. He had long silver hair and he looked around dully with his purple eyes. A silver mask covered over his mouth. His chains at his ankles and wrist clinked together as he looked around quickly.
"Juromaru…" the voice seemed to come from inside the man's stomach. "Juromaru remove the mask and let me out. He's coming…"
When the man heard this he removed the silver cover on his mouth. Immediately a small spider-like creature crawled out of his mouth. Only it had a human head and purple lips. Both creatures had dark violet eyes and their skins were pallor. Demons. Kagome sincerely hoped that she wouldn't have to fight them. Just the way they looked made her skin crawl.
"So… you finally decided to show up…"
Kagome looked up at the new speaker. He was crouching on top of a building viewing the scene below him. He too had long silver hair and Kagome could see the tip of his fangs as he grinned at the two demons standing below. His triangular ears twitched at the sight of them. He quickly jumped down and gracefully landed on his feet. Kagome went unnoticed by all three demons.
"I'll still give you a chance to leave here alive." The night breeze picked up suddenly and Kagome say a brief flash of amber eyes.
The small spider like demon laughed and ran his dark tongue over his lips. "Leave? Inuyasha, your head is worth more than all the bounty on any other demon put together. Besides I want to have a taste of your innards. And I hope they will taste better than the last slayers that I have eaten."
The man grunted in disgust. "You don't want to get killed by me tonight."
The small demon merely grinned and he suddenly disappeared. The larger demon, Juromaru began running towards the man. The man's fist shot out and smashed Juromaru in the face. Juromaru merely got up and once again began to attack the man. He jumped down and aimed a kick towards the man's ribs. Kagome saw a fissure cracking into the ground towards the man.
The man's head whipped towards the ground and at the same time the small demon hurled itself out the ground and into the man's side. It sank it's sharp teeth into him and drank deeply. The man grunted in pain and grabbed the demon and flung it toward where Kagome was hidden.
"Oh shit!" Kagome ducked out of the way as the small demon was flung into the equipment that she had set up. It made a squealing sound as it smashed all the equipment. For a moment its long spindly legs thrashed in the air and then it was back on its feet.
"You are going to wish that you hadn't done that." The man's voice became snarling and he crouched down. Turquoise stripes appeared on his face and his eyes and they became blood shot red. His claws became longer as it slashed at Juromaru. He seemed to move differently from before. Before, Kagome could read his attacks and predict some of his moves.. Now his attacks had become irregular and almost feral-like.
"Well well, what have we here?" Kagome turned and saw huge purple eyes staring at her. The demon was so close that she saw that it had a spider-like burn on its back. She ducked as it slashed out its claws at her and rolled out of the way. She quickly pulled out her derringer and shot at it.
"Too slow." He hissed. "The young half demon's innards were tasty but I bet yours will be even more appetizing."
His teeth sank into Kagome's arm and she cried out in pain. She felt heat building inside her and suddenly the demon let go. It hissed in pain as Kagome ran back several paces and aimed at his head. She shot, hitting the demon. It shrieked as it burst into ash and disappeared.
Kagome turned towards Juromaru and the man. She saw Juromaru's blank face several feet from her. Her eyes quickly followed the trail of blood and the man coated in it.
He stared at the blood and suddenly seemed to notice Kagome for the first time. The turquoise stripes had disappeared from his face and his eyes were slowly turning back gold. He stared at the corpse on the ground and then back at Kagome.
"Not again." He whispered and quickly sped off.
Kagome sighed. It had been a rough night. She had to get out of her or her blood would be mingled in. She looked at her watch. 12:15 a.m. All that had happened in less than half an hour?
"Kagome… Kagome!" The sound was coming from the headset that she had been wearing earlier. Apparently it was the only object that was intact from the demon's destruction. Kagome picked it and readjusted it to her head.
"Yes Sango?"
"Damn! Are you okay? What happened?"
"I'll tell you when I get back. Oh God Sango, I hope you have a nice hot bath for me when I get back."
"Sure thing. Is he the right guy we're looking for? The Inuyasha? "
"Kagome stared at the full moon and for the first time that night smiled. "He's the one."
