"Well, Lord Sesshomaru? What do you have to say about all of this?"

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, and he stood silently for a moment before answering. "I do not know what you're talking about, Naraku."

"Oh? I think you know exactly what I'm talking about." Naraku answered, smirking as he held Rin higher, a tentacle curled around her waist. "You came to save her after all, did you not?"

Sesshomaru would have answered, but Inuyasha beat him to it. "Let her go, you bastard!"

"Ah yes, Inuyasha. You had been quiet. Tell me though, why is it that the slayer and monk haven't arrived yet? Kohaku should have guided them here by now."

"Shut up!" Kagome this time, notching an arrow in her bow. "Let that girl down; I will shoot you!"

"Is that a promise to me, or a reassurance to yourself?" Naraku asked, his smirk growing wider.

Sesshomaru's eyes were narrowing to slits as they spoke, before raising Tokijin so it pointed at Naraku's face. "Put Rin down, and I will fight you."

"Is that so?" Naraku replied, loosening his tentacles slightly around Rin, causing her to slip a little. "But I'm not sure if I want to let her go. She would make a very good shield, after all."

"A…shield…?" Kagome murmured, before pulling the arrow all the way back, and aiming at Naraku's head. "Naraku! You would-?!"

"Be quiet, woman. This does not concern you." Sesshomaru spoke, cutting her off, but not taking his eyes off Naraku.

"L-Lord Sesshomaru…" Rin muttered, watching Sesshomaru with tearing eyes. But she did not speak louder, scared that she may distract the demon lord.

Inuyasha let out a growl, knowing there was little he could do. Naraku was holding the girl too close for him to try and slice the tentacle, and there was too much possibility Naraku would just move if he tried to slice the tentacle off. Damn it!

Suddenly, there was a ripping sound, and the facing off people turned, seeing what looked like a hole opening in front of them in the sky. It spat out four people, then closed, leaving them staring at the new arrivals.

"The hell did you do that for?! What did you just do, huh?!" A girl yelled, looking mad.

"Oh, nothing much. Just moved us a little."

"What?" She turned, looking at all of the others. "Just how far-"

Another of the people drew a sword, jumping towards her, causing her sentence to break off as she blocked.

Inuyasha, fed up with standing around and staring at the newly arrived people, jumped forward and slashed at the one that had attacked the girl, which made him jump back.

"Uncle Inuyasha!" The girl spoke, grinning when she saw him. "And Dad!" She looked at Sesshomaru.

'Uncle Inuyasha' almost fell over in surprise. Even Sesshomaru looked slightly taken aback as he sniffed at the air.

She does smell of family, but not of full demon heritage. It is more than half, however, so who…? And why is it that this Sesshomaru does not recall other family?

Naraku, taking advantage of the lack of attention on himself, sent a tentacle towards Kagome, aiming to get the jewel shards. But he had not thought that Kagome may still look over towards him, and she let out a surprised gasp, blasting the tentacle away from herself with her spiritual powers before he could obtain the shards.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha turned, remembering now that Naraku was there. "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine, Inuyasha." Kagome answered, placing a hand on the small jar the shards were kept in to reassure herself that they were still there. "But please, can we get this over with before you catch up?"

"Yeah, yeah." Inuyasha growled, casting a look over at the girl before jumping forward, in between Kagome and Naraku.

"Wench." Naraku spoke venomously, glaring down at Kagome and Inuyasha. He then turned to look towards the girl and the other three, who were standing at what looked like an impasse. "It seems, however, that there are allies for myself as well. I would not want to give up such an opportunity."

"Lord Naraku," This was the third man, who, before then, had not been addressed nor had he seemed to move. "Your enemies, are our enemies as well. I am Tentou, and these two are my brothers, Gouka and Daichi." He fell to one knee, as did the other two.

Naraku's eyes seemed to narrow in amusement. "You seem to come from far away. I had not known that Lord Sesshomaru had a daughter."

"We come from years in the future; far away as you can get, I suppose."

"The future, hmm? Interesting." The last word was drawled out, as Naraku's gaze fell to the girl, taking in her appearance. She looked much like her father, but her hair, for whatever reason, was black instead of white. He also noticed that she wore different clothing; for there was no armor and the outfit was more of a dark grey color. "Tell me girl, do you have a name?"

"Like I'd introduce myself to you!" She snarled, her own sword drawn and she looked ready to attack. Her eyes flicked from Naraku's face to Rin, and she sheathed her sword, straightening. "But I won't fight you, either."

And then she was gone from sight, causing Naraku to look around, hoping to spot her. But, suddenly, she was standing next to him, and with on slash of her claws, Rin fell into her arms. The girl grinned slightly, and waved. "Bye." And then she jumped away.

Naraku seethed with anger now, knowing he had nothing to hold over Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's heads. Inuyasha could break whatever barrier he put up now, and not worry about hitting the child. He supposed it was time to leave.

"Tentou, I believe it is time for me to go. Seek me again, and we shall continue our conversation." Naraku said, smirking lightly as he floated up. "Inuyasha…Sesshomaru, I'll see you very soon, I'm sure."

Tentou nodded, and soon enough those three had also disappeared.

Sesshomaru looked over at the girl, who stood close to him as she set Rin down. "Girl, what is your name?"

"Hmm? Oh, I'm Sora." She spoke, a light smile on her face. "Pleased to meet you."

He gave a slight nod. "I suppose so." He spoke, and, although he was meeting his daughter for the first time, there was nothing to say to her.

"Hey, Inuyasha!"

The father and daughter turned to see that Sango and Miroku had arrived, and were now standing next to Inuyasha and Kagome, looking over at them. Sora watched as Inuyasha now approached, the other three standing back, and she could see Kirara and Shippo next to them, watching as well.

"So yer from the future, huh?" He asked, watching her and thinking to himself that she really looked a lot like Sesshomaru. "An' I'm your uncle?"

Sora nodded. "Why not bring everyone over here, and I can explain what I know."

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow, but turned anyways. "Kagome! Get everyone over here!"

Kagome and the rest blinked, but they walked over anyways, Miroku arriving next to Inuyasha.

"Why hello, and who is this beautiful-"

WHAM.

"I don't care if I haven't met her before; you ain't askin' my niece any of that crap!" Inuyasha growled, hand curled into a fist as he watched Miroku cradle his aching head. "So don't even think about it!"

"Niece?" Sango asked, looking over at Sora. "Sesshomaru had a daughter?"

"Not in this time, specifically." Sora replied, stepping forward. "But in the future, yes."

"In the…future?" Kagome asked. "Like in my time?"

"No, not that far, Aunt Kagome." Sora chuckled lightly. "Oh, and my name's Sora, by the way."

"So what brings you into this time, if you're from the future?" Miroku spoke from his place on the ground, looking up.

"Tentou and his goons are enemies of ours; well, vassals of an enemy, anyways. I guess that Daichi has the ability to move through time and space, because we were fighting in a field in my time last I checked."

"Who is this other enemy that you spoke of?" Sesshomaru asked, watching his daughter closely.

"A woman named Motoko, who wants our lands. She's always hiding behind those three, and she never stays long enough for any of us to get a killing blow in, which is probably why I'm here now." Sora put a thumb to her mouth in thought. "But what could they want here, I wonder…"

"If they're the ones who brought you here, how do you plan on getting back, Sora?" Kagome asked. "After all, they disappeared…"

Sora nodded. "Yeah, I guess that I need to hunt them down again, huh?"

"You should travel with us, then!" Shippo piped up, grinning. "After all, they went with Naraku, right?"

"…Right." Her eyes then shot up from Shippo to Kagome. "Naraku?"

"Yeah, you've heard of him in your time?"

"Man, I hadn't thought I'd gone back this far!" She said with a growl.

"Why? How far did you go back, Sora?" This was Sango.

"Maybe twenty years or more." Sora bit her lip. "Damn. This is way worse than I thought."

"That's bad? How?"

"Well, not only do I have to deal with Tentou, Daichi, and Gouka, and find a way home, but there's also Naraku!" She growled, clenching her hand into a fist.

"Then you should travel with us, Sora." Kagome spoke. "After all, we are hunting Naraku down as well."

"Yeah, we ain't gonna let you just wander around alone." Inuyasha added gruffly. "Safer in groups…y'know."

At this point, Sesshomaru spoke up. "If she is to travel with the lot of you, I shall come as well." He glanced at Miroku. "I would not want anything disagreeable to take place."

Miroku coughed into his hand, looking away.

"It probably would be a good idea." Sora spoke thoughtfully. "I'm not worried about anyone in particular, but it would make fighting easier if we were to present a united front."

Sango nodded in agreement. "So, Inuyasha, will you try and get along with Sesshomaru?"

"Hey, why're you only asking me?! Ask him that, he's the one who-"

"Uncle Inuyasha."

"What?!"

"They left."

"Damn it."

If it's all right with you people, can I have at least one review per chapter, so you can tell me if you like it so far? Please?
