Blood and Hanyou

By: Prophet WolfStar

A/N: This is a crossover of Inuyasha with the Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. I got bored at work while working cashier with my friend Sade and this popped into my mind while we were discussing the men of our harems. I knew immediately I could make it work, even if there weren't many people out there who had read BJT. If you guys need anything explained, which I know you will, just let me know! Who knows, maybe you'll even fall in love with the Black Jewels Trilogy as well?

Summary: A strange mishap with the Bone Eaters Well transports IY, Kagome, Rin, and Sesshy to the realm of Kaeleer. Now they're in a strange land with strange people, Naraku is on the loose, as well as a new, more threatening enemy.

Disclaimer; I don't own any of them(excluding Hakuuyo and Inuharu) and this is strictly for entertainment purposes!


Chapter 1

This isn't Japan...

"She's gotten a few bruises, but other than that she's uninjured."

"Just like the child," Tersa said with a smile. "See, boy? I told you they needed our help,"

"I know, mother," Daemon regarded the woman on his mother's bed carefully, wondering about her and her origins. She wasn't from Kaeleer, that was obvious.

"I think we'll know more about her and the others once she wakes up." Jaenelle rose from the bed, shrugging. "Now, where is this strange dog eared boy you wanted me to help?"

"I'm right here," The voice was raspy, weak, but definitely hostile.

Jaenelle's lips parted but no sound came out. Daemon had risen to the killing edge so quickly that she didn't have time to say anything. And she knew that if she didn't do something soon, there would be a crater where Tersa's cottage had once been.

"Get...away from...Kagome,"

"I told you!" Tersa glared at Daemon, walking towards him, snatching his wrist in her hands. "You didn't believe me, you silly boy!"

Inuyasha, his fire rat robes torn, tattered and burned, ignored the old woman's childish ramblings, pulling Tetsuseiga from its sheath with trembling hands. The transformation of the katana into the Fang Inuyasha had mastered startled Jaenelle.

"They are definitely not from around here," Jaenelle paused, perplexed. What could she do? She was fully healed, yes, but she didn't have the power that she used to, and that meant Daemon was twice as protective of his wife and queen as he had ever been before. Keeping him from killing the already injured hanyou wasn't going to be an easy feat.

"Kagome is none of your concern," Inuyasha growled weakly. "Get away from her,"

"Hm...Inuyasha?" Kagome's eyes opened and she sat up, realizing that she was in a strange place. When she looked towards the doorway, she suddenly remembered. The blinding flash of light as Sesshoumaru destroyed the well, the feeling of dread, of sorrow, of Inuyasha's weight on her as he shielded her. She remembered when she woke up in a forest unfamiliar to her, to a friendly face shrouded by tangled black hair. She remembered a name that had perplexed her but in her exhaustion she had not questioned.

"Tersa,"

She turned from her son and smiled sweetly at Kagome. "Yes, you remember!"

"What have you done to Kagome!" Inuyasha howled, his chest heaving in his effort to keep on his feet. Tetsuseiga transformed again and in a fit of anger, the hanyou threw it to the ground.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome leapt from the bed she occupied and threw her arms around him as he started to slip towards the ground. "Oh, Inuyasha, you're hurt..."

"He needs a healer," Jaenelle said softly, gently. "I can help him if he'll let me."

"They're friends, Inuyasha, I promise."

"You had better be right, Kagome," He growled, leaning heavily against her.

"Get him over to the bed," Jaenelle instructed, now set and focused on the healing. "Tersa," She looked up at the woman and smiled. "We need to be alone for a while. Can you aid Morghann while she does the healing for the other?"

Tersa nodded, leaving the room quickly to help another of her new friends. Daemon closed the door quietly, leaning against it to keep any unwelcomed persons from entering the room.

"If you relax and do not fight me on this I won't have to force you into a healing sleep," Jaenelle said as Kagome eased Inuyasha onto the bed.

"And if you don't give her any trouble I won't have to say 'it', Inuyasha,"

The weak little smile he gave her wrenched her heart into knots. Would he be ok?

Jaenelle glanced up at her, concerned about the undercurrents of emotion pouring from the girl. It could disturb the healing process if she didn't get them under control. "Kagome, I'm sorry, but I must ask you to step out of the room."

"No," Inuyasha grabbed her wrist as she turned to leave. "She stays,"

"You're stubborn," Jaenelle said flatly. "It's a good sign that you'll heal just fine, I suppose. She may stay, now, close your eyes." Inuyasha hesitated but did as he was told, suddenly too weak to fight this woman's prodding. He felt a soft tug at his mind, a trigger that made him very sleepy. Kagome's eyes narrowed when his breathing, though shallow and weak, evened out and his hand fell from her wrist.

"I put him in the healing sleep," Jaenelle murmured, smiling encouragingly. "I promise that he'll wake up,"

Kagome nodded, backing away a few feet to sit on the floor against the wall so that Jaenelle could do what she had to do. Jaenelle's hand found Inuyasha's chest and her eyes became sharp, focused.

"Daemon," She whispered, worried. "I need a bowl,"

Kagome watched the man move with a grace that reminded her too much of a cat as he collected a bowl from his mother's bathroom and handed it to his queen. With her permission, he, too, placed his hand on Inuyasha's chest and knew immediately what was wrong.

"Poison, very potent poison," He looked to Kagome who was staring into space now.

"They hate each other," She whispered. "I don't even remember how Sesshoumaru had gotten his poison claws into Inuyasha anymore. When he didn't stop fighting I thought Sesshoumaru had missed." She looked up to Jaenelle, tears spilling down her cheeks. "Can you help him?"

Jaenelle, confident, nodded. "The poison is slow in spreading. It's meant to torture rather than kill right away." Is this Sesshoumaru the other injured man that Tersa found? The one with the little girl? "I can draw the poison out, but it may take some time, and it won't be very pleasant."

Daemon tensed, looking at Inuyasha rather than Jaenelle. Would it be like the healing that had to be performed for Karla? The woman had lost the use of her legs for quite sometime before her stubbornness had kicked in and she'd been able to heal the ruined muscle. She still needed the help of a cane but she was steadily growing stronger in the aspect of her legs again. Would Inuyasha have to suffer the same fate? The reassuring smile from Jaenelle gave him that answer. No, Inuyasha wouldn't lose the use of anything at all, save for maybe his ability to do much for a few days.

Daemon placed the bowl beneath the hand that had been holding Kagome's so firmly a few moments before and stepped away to allow Jaenelle the space and seclusion she needed to complete the healing. He sat next to Kagome, studying the woman intensely. She was strong, determined, and he sensed a power that he couldn't even begin to understand. He was alert and aware, ready to jump to his wife's aid should she need it.

Kagome glanced towards Inuyasha and sucked in a sharp breath. "She told you it wasn't going to be pleasant,"

"I'm starting to think it was a good thing she put him to sleep," Kagome murmured, watching as Jaenelle drew the thick venom out from Inuyasha's body through his fingertips. "I can only imagine the pain he would have been in..."

"At least he will survive."

Kagome nodded, watching as the venom drained into the bowl. "Where am I, anyway?"

"Kaeleer. My mother's cottage if you need me to be more specific." Daemon glanced up at Jaenelle briefly.

"I thought so,"

"You know of Kaeleer?"

"No, not at all. I just meant that I figured we weren't in Japan anymore. Modern day or Feudal Era." Kagome's shoulders sagged and she sighed heavily. "No, I'm a very long way from home."

He found himself studying her outfit and nodded in agreement. "His sword..." Daemon ventured, motioning to the ragged looking katana on the floor by the door.

"His Tetsuseiga. It belonged to his father. It was forged from his own fang, actually."

"Fang?"

"It's a long story, really. Maybe we should save it until after Inuyasha is well again? There are some things he can explain better than I can. Besides, the only thing I really know about is the jewel and--" She went rigid then, reaching into her shirt in a frenzy in search of something obviously. Daemon just stared at her as she drew the necklace from her shirt, sighing in relief at the sight of the Shikon Jewel.

"Looks like you broke it,"

"Yeah...but we're getting close to finding all of the pieces again," Kagome murmured, feeling herself starting to relax. "I didn't mean to shatter it, but I guess it was for the best, even if we've had nothing but trouble since it happened,"

"Another long story?"

"Five years long actually," Jaenelle rose from the bed then, vanishing the bowl into thin air. She patted her hands clean on her trousers and smiled.

"It's done, the venom is gone. He's a bit feverish, but with a little rest he'll be fine."

Kagome nodded, pulling herself to her feet again. "Thank you so much. You don't know how much it means to me,"

"I think I have a clue," Jaenelle smiled, touching Kagome's shoulder. "He'll be sleeping for a good while."

"I'll stay with him,"

Jaenelle nodded, smiling. "I'll have some food sent up for you,"

"Thank you again..." Kagome sat down on the edge of the bed, stroking the sweat soaked hair from Inuyasha's face. He was pale and had a fever, but he was going to be ok. She ran her fingers down his arm and her eyes narrowed in confusion. Where were his claws? "Oh no, what's today? Moon wise?"

Jaenelle gave her a funny look and shook herself. "The new moon, I believe, why?"

"Great, he's going to be that much more unpleasant if he wakes up tonight," Kagome sighed heavily at the confused looks she was getting. "Another long story,"

"We'll discuss it over breakfast," Jaenelle said simply. "I need to go check in on Morghann. If you want, I can send someone to sit with you,"

"No, I'm all right," Kagome murmured. "If you don't mind my asking, who is the other injured person?"

Jaenelle shrugged. "I don't know, Tersa didn't find out his name, but he's got a little girl clinging to his robes,"

Kagome flinched, sighing, "Sesshoumaru...They're brothers, well...half brothers,"

Jaenelle's eyes flickered on Daemon for a brief moment. "I understand,"

Kagome sighed heavily yet again as the couple left the room, leaving her alone with the feverish Inuyasha. Knowing he would be asleep for quite some time, Kagome settled into the overstuffed chair next to the bed and got comfortable.


Rin shuddered as the breeze from outside swept over her. She was scared for her Lord Sesshoumaru because of how badly he was hurt, but being coerced from the room while that strange woman 'healed' him hadn't helped her any. Instead she stood in the garden with her eyes downcast while Tersa talked about the flowers and how she had managed to get them to grow so quickly. Rin wasn't listening to her at all, she just wanted to be with Sesshoumaru. Of course, the wolf that was staring her down from the porch only made her more distressed. The man named Khary had strictly instructed the wolf to stay on the porch after Rin had made it perfectly clear that she wanted nothing to do with him, but still, it was a wolf.

The door opened and she looked passed the wolf to the person standing in the doorway.

"I thank you for taking care of her,"

"Lord Sesshoumaru!" Rin found herself running, attaching herself firmly to his leg. He smiled gently, his hand coming to rest at the top of her head. "You are well, Rin?"

"I was so scared!" She cried, nearly tackling him.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, sweetheart," Daemon said as he and Jaenelle joined them on the porch. Of course, the way Sesshoumaru was now looking at the wolf not ten feet from them told him other wise. "Problems with wolves?"

"Yes,"

"Ah," Daemon looked to the wolf and motioned towards the woods with his head. The wolf's ears flattened against his head, a sure sign that he was disappointed, and then he whined slightly.

"Go on, Ladvarian," Jaenelle said gently. "You can sniff our new friends in the morning,"

"Thank you for your hospitality, but I will go now." Sesshoumaru took Rin's hand, bidding her to follow him from the porch.

"Where will you go?" Jaenelle asked flatly. "You're a long way from home from my understanding. Kagome said you were from some place called Japan. I know the land here well, Lord Sesshoumaru. Japan is not a place that exists in this realm."

Sesshoumaru paused, regarding Jaenelle with interest. "Then we are far from the Western Lands,"

"You need to eat," Tersa said suddenly as she brushed passed him, scowling. "You're just like the boy," She looked at Daemon briefly. "So stubborn. Come, girl, you need food, a bath and rest,"

"Lord Sesshoumaru?"

"Go with her, Rin," Sesshoumaru commanded. Rin hesitated and then sighed, bowing to him.

"Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru." She took the hand extended to her by Tersa and followed the older woman inside.

"If you spoke to Kagome then that must also mean that my brother is here,"

"Yes, and I must admit that you did quite a number on him. I almost had a difficult time drawing out the poison."

"Hm," Sesshoumaru found himself smiling. "You are very powerful indeed if you could subdue the poison from my claws,"

"Jaenelle," Daemon murmured. She glared at him but sighed, giving in.

"Excuse me, my husband believes that I, too, should join the others for dinner." Jaenelle gave Daemon the smallest of smiles and slipped inside, closing the door behind her. The two men then studied each other intensely.

"I will not hesitate to kill my half brother, but for Rin's sake and the sake of the innocent people here, I will back down. Once I return home, though, I will not stomach being around him."

Daemon nodded, watching the sun set behind the horizon. "You must understand, Lord Sesshoumaru, the ways of our people are very different,"

"I sensed that," Sesshoumaru said passively. "I will not infringe upon you. I will do my best to stay in line with your ways."

"Then we should have no problem. Come, we'll discuss everything else over dinner."

"I wish to remain outside a little longer. I am full demon and do not require food and sleep as often. I will join you shortly."

Daemon nodded, "As you wish, Lord," and stepped inside. Sesshoumaru looked up at the moonless night sky and then turned towards the woods. "Your scent is weak, but I know you are here, Naraku." His eyes narrowed, his expression angered. "Stay away."
