I'm sorry. I gave into a truly evil plot bunny here. Snippets of a fem! Fon as Kikyo's reincarnation rather than Kagome. The feudal era, and especially Inuyasha, are in for a small surprise. Hehe.

-BEGIN!-

"I smell it." A seemingly young boy with long, silver hair and a pair of fluffy dog ears stated as he flexed a pair of claws, "The blood of the woman who killed me. And it's coming closer." As he finished, he reached for the arrow that was embedded in his chest, only for his hand to flinch away when it glowed a soft pink color.

With a scowl, he decided to wait for her to come to him. It seemed like an eternity before he caught the retched stench. It was coming - she was coming! It seemed to take forever before a figure darted out of the thick brush, landing neatly a little ways from the tree.

Standing there, with a bit of a smile and familiar brown eyes, was a ... huh? Inuyasha didn't know it, but one could practically see loading dots over his head as he tried to take in what he saw. The baby - baby - continued to stare at him with the familiar aloof gaze, her smile hinting at some unknown secrets as she patiently waited for him to say something. The monkey on her head was mirroring her exact pose, arms crossed - her's in her sleeves - straight posture, and head held high.

"..." Inuyasha was at a blank. This baby smelled like her, yet it was clearly a baby! Was it her baby? Then where was she?

"Good evening." The baby girl stated pleasantly, snapping Inuyasha out of his trance.

"You're a baby." Okay, so maybe not completely, but hey, at least he said something. He was far to confused to care at the moment.

"So I see." The loading dots were back.

It was at that moment that Inuyasha caught another familiar scent. What was it again? He knew that he knew it from somewhere, but where? Oh yeah, Mistress Centipede.

"You should get out of here kid. There are some really nasty things lurking in this forest." Inuyasha stated with a small smirk, showing off one of his fangs in the hopes of frightening her away.

"Are there now?" If Inuyasha wasn't pinned to the tree, than he would have face faulted at that. What was with this kid?!

"All right then, just don't come crying to me when you die." He said as he stuck his nose in the air.

"I won't." Mistress Centipede chose to make her appearance at that moment as she dived after the girl, climbing over Inuyasha to do just that as two of her hands reached for the small child. Said child seemed unconcerned as she merely jumped out of the way.

"WHAT?!" Inuyasha called out as the girl jumped on the centipede's head and kicked her neck as she jumped off, sending the large demon crashing to the floor as the baby made another neat landing right in front of Inuyasha, or to be more precise, perched on the arrow in the dog demon's chest.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING CHILD?!" An old priestess, whom had arrived with a bunch of villagers, called out upon noticing the baby's position. Said infant turned to regard the priestess with the same aloof gaze and mysterious smile as she responded.

"You merely wanted to lure the demon to the well correct? I've done my part and am looking at something interesting." Her voice came out like a soft wind, but it easily carried over to the surprised priestess. Inuyasha was no better as he glanced between her and the old woman, slightly creeped out by the close scrutiny the baby was doing.

"All right men! Pull!" A villager's shout pulled them out of their respective trances as they began pulling the centipede towards the well with some harpoons. Unfortunately however, it was a futile endeavor as the demoness broke the harpoons with a slight twist of her body before lunging at the baby still perched on the arrow. What it got was a swift punch in the face as it fell down in a daze.

"I'd appreciate it if you didn't disturb me please." She sounded far too calm about the whole situation. Was Kikyo turned into a baby who later learned martial arts or something?

She turned her gaze back onto Inuyasha and the half demon suddenly wondered if he should be afraid. He then noticed that the red pacifier she wore was...glowing? The girl looked down at it as well with a small 'hm?', but she didn't seem all that concerned about it, only showing minor surprise when she looked at her side for some reason. She then turned her aloof gaze on the still downed centipede.

"Strange. She should be up by now." She commented as she regarded the twitching demon. Much to Inuyasha's surprise, she easily walked to the edge of the arrow to get a better look at the centipede. Just as it lunged up again.

"GIVE ME THE SACRED JEWEL!" It shouted as it clipped the baby's side. Said baby moved faster than Inuyasha thought a human could as one hand flew to the wound, catching something, and the other caught the demon's neck and threw her towards the well before the arms could grab her.

"Hmm, it would seem I need to adjust my speed." She commented idly. Inuyasha was hung up on the mention of the jewel, and sure enough there it was. When the baby opened her hand to see just what she had caught, she regarded it in full view for a second.

"How can this be?" Inuyasha's sensitive ears picked up the old priestess's question even as the villagers moved to try to push the demon in the well with projectiles. He had to agree with her - that was a speed he'd expect from Sesshomaru! The monkey on her head gave a smug look that practically screamed 'get used being surprised', much to Inuyasha's irritation.

He tried to grab the jewel while it was in reach. The baby half turned to give him a small smile, practically screaming that she saw right through his efforts before jumping off, landing on the demon's stomach and jabbing her lungs with a chubby hand before stomping on her throught to cut off her oxygen faster.

"Shall we go then?" She asked as she walked over to the village people. Inuyasha took a moment before it registered, but when it did he was feeling highly indignant.

"H-hey! Don't just leave me here!" He yelled, causing the baby to turn around, still with that cursed smile.

"I apologize, but this clearly needs to be protected. From all beings after it." Here, she gave a small bow, "Farewell."

"W-what do you think you're doing?! Get back here! Hey!" Inuyasha called out to the calmly retreating figures.
