"When is he coming back, Kaede?" asked Kae, the half dog demon. She had been waiting for a half an hour and was getting impatient. She tapped her clawed finger on the wooden floor of the hut. "I can't wait to see him again."

"He should be here any minute, Kae. Just be patient," said the old human priestess Kaede.

"C'mon, Kagome! Let me carry the shard," they heard someone in the distance say.

"He's here! He's here!" yelled Kae, as the white dog ears with black tips on the top of her head perked up. The bushy red fox tail she had wagged rapidly behind her. She sprang to feet and ran out of the hut towards the familiar voice. She ran to the top of a hill and looked towards the bottom. She smiled as her shoulder length silver hair with black ends swayed in the mild wind. She held up one of her clawed hands and waved to the boy coming up the hill. "Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" She started to run down the hill towards the boy and the girl who was walking with him.

"Inuyasha! Here comes a demon!" yelled Kagome, as she hid behind the boy that Kae had waved at. "She's attacking us!"

"She's not attacking us, you stupid human, but if you don't move, you may be crushed," said Inuyasha. Kagome ran from behind him just as Kae tackled him, knocking him to the ground. The two of them tumbled to the bottom of the hill. When they stopped, Kae was on top of Inuyasha, who had silver hair down to his waist. Inuyasha looked up at her. "It's been a while, Kae." He like Kae had ears on top of his head, but they were completely white.

"It sure has, Inuyasha," said Kae, as she stood up and held her hand out to Inuyasha. He grabbed her hand and she pulled him to his feet. They started walking back up the hill towards Kagome.

"Kagome, this is Kae. We were friends along time ago," explained Inuyasha before Kagome could even ask. The three of them headed back to the top of the hill and towards Kaede's hut.

"Hey, Inuyasha. Where have you been for the past fifty years?" asked Kae.

"I'll tell you later. For right now, I want to rest, and no, Kagome, you can't come. I want a chance to catch up on our friendship. We haven't seen each other for over fifty years. See you later. C'mon, Kae. Follow me." Inuyasha took off in the blink of an eye, faster than Kagome's eyes could follow. Kae followed him away, leaving Kagome standing in front of Kaede's hut, staring after them.

Inuyasha led Kae to a tree. He jumped to a high branch and Kae followed to the same branch. They sat down and started talking.

"So, when Kagome pulled the arrow out, she set me free," Inuyasha said as he finished his story.

"So you were pinned to a tree by Kikyo? What ever happened to her?" asked Kae.

Inuyasha looked away. He was silent.

"She's dead, isn't she?" asked Kae sadly.

"And good riddance to that wench. She died the very same day she pinned me to that tree and she had the Shikon jewel burned with her body, but it was brought back to this world through Kagome, and because of her, the jewel shattered into pieced and I have to help her find them. We only have one shard right now and she can't shoot a bow for shit. Kaede is convinced that Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo, because the jewel came back with her," complained Inuyasha, as he leaned against the trunk of the tree. "She's useless."

"But she looked just like Kikyo," stated Kae. Inuyasha didn't answer.

"Hey Inuyasha!" yelled Kagome from the ground, as she rode up on her bike. "I need to bandage your wounds."

"Bandage my wounds?" repeated Inuyasha.

"Yes, now come down here."

"No. Go away."

"C'mon. You know you got hurt in that fight with Yura, now come down here."

"Nothing doing!"

Kagome just rolled her eyes. "Sit boy!"

The rosary beaded around Inuyasha's neck glowed, as he was pulled from the tree. He landed on his head on the ground.

Kagome jumped on top of Inuyasha and tried to take off his shirt. She couldn't get it off. "Take your clothes off!"

"Beg me to!" argued Inuyasha, as he tried to get Kagome off of him.

"Well I see you two have settled your differences," said Kaede, as she walked up with a bunch of children behind her. She had the totally wrong idea. The boys behind her were snickering and the girls were giggling and covering their eyes.

"Would you two get a hut?" laughed Kae, as she jumped from the tree and landed next to the struggling pair.

"Get off!" said Inuyasha, as he pulled Kagome off himself. He stood up and opened his shirts to show his chest. There were no scars or marks. "My body is special. You forget that I'm half demon." He was about to close his under shirt and his haori when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He slapped his chest and brought his hand up to his face to see what had caused the pain. He sneered at his hand. "Well if it isn't Myouga the flea."

"Lord Inuyasha, I've been hopping all over for you," said the tiny flea in his hand. "We need to talk Lord Inuyasha."

Everyone headed into Kaede's hut and sat around the fire that was going in the middle of the floor.

"Lord Inuyasha, to cut right to the point, your Lord fathers grave is being looked for and is in grave danger," said Myouga, as he folded his four arms and stared into the fire.

"And what am I supposed to do about it. I barely even remember my father," said Inuyasha.

"But if you don't do something, your demon father's grave could be destroyed."

"Wait, if Inuyasha's father is a demon, and Inuyasha is a half demon, then what was his mother?" asked Kagome.

"Ah, M'lords mother was the most beautiful of all--," Myouga started to say, but Inuyasha squished him with his thumb before he had the chance to finish.

"She died along time ago," said Inuyasha, as he got up and stormed out of the hut.

"I don't see why he should be upset about his mother. He loved her more than anything," explained Kae, as she looked at the fire.

"His mother was a noble human," said Myouga.

"Mizu, come talk to him with me. You know him better than I do," said Kagome. Her and Kae walked out of the hut and up to a tree, which Inuyasha was in. "Inuyasha, why do you hide your human heritage? Let us help you…" Kagome started to say but Inuyasha jumped from the tree.

He landed on top of the two girls and pinned Kagome's face into the ground. "Quiet," he hissed. He let the girls get to their knees. "There's a carriage up there, and there's someone inside."

The girls looked up and saw the carriage and Kae gasped when she saw who was inside. Inuyasha saw the beautiful black haired woman as well.

"Mother!" yelled Inuyasha. The woman was in heavy chains and was surrounded by Hell Guard Trolls.

The woman looked Inuyasha's way. "Inuyasha!" she yelled down to him.

All of a sudden, the arm of an ogre descended from the clouds and grabbed the carriage. The carriage was crushed and the woman's body was the only thing left in the ogre's hand.
