I figured I'd better get started on another story so that when I do my Mummy sequel my juices will be flowing. I hope this is almost as big a success. :D But, uh...Anyway, okay let's just start a new story.

In a time where demons and humans lived with each other, there was a miko (priestess) named Kikyo who guarded the Shikon jewel, a jewel that could make a human or a demon more powerful. She was always being attacked by demons and humans alike. But, because she was always fighting life became lonely for her. She no longer wanted to guard the jewel. She wanted to die and rest peacefully. So, she made a new guardian for the jewel. A guardian that no one would suspect to hold such value. She made a hanyou(half demon) that she called: Inuyasha and she placed the jewel in his body. She also gave him the ability to sniff out the jewel so that if it ever got taken away from him he could find it again. No one knew of Inuyasha's special ability and purpose but, Kikyo's sister Kaede. No one wanted to approach him because he was half-human, half-demon. But...Years passed, Kaede and Kikyo died and Inuyasha was taken to a lab known as 'Goshinboku Studies' as a "significant specimen", to be studied and poked at because he was a hanyou.

Enter Kagome Higurashi, a scientist at Goshinboku who doesn't know how much her life was about to be changed.

Kagome was sitting at a table at the moment. She was having her breakfast of a peice of toast and coffee. When the intercom clicked and a particular message rang through the cafeteria.

"Ms. Higurashi, will you please report to Mr. Naraku's office he would like to have a word with you." The blonde secretary repeated the message and hung up the intercom.

Kagome got up,"Oh great, what could it be now. He always puts me with crazy cases. I just got finish with examining that little fox-boy for some..Shikon..Thing. But, whatever, it's the money I'm after." She made her way to Naraku's office. He was the head scientist at Goshinboku and he kept saying he was currently looking for some sort of Shikon thing, that threatened to "destroy the world as they knew it". He was constantly bringing in humans and demons that even blinked funny. But, no one questioned his command. He was one scary guy. He had thick long dark hair and his eyes had a weird purple around them that made it look like he hadn't slept in weeks (which he probably hadn't). He was pale and cold. Practically emotionless, save the dark sinister smirk that crossed his lips every once and a while.

Kagome found herself at Naraku's office very quickly and as she looked at the door she felt considerably smaller. But, she knocked nonetheless.

"Come in." Naraku's voice was icy. It sent chills down her spine. She grabbed the knob of the door and turned it slowly. Then, she pushed it open and walked in.

"Naraku, sir. I heard that you wanted to see me."

"You heard correct. I need you to help with a special specimen that we've just brought in. He's a little rowdy but, I'm sure he'll take a liking to you." Naraku gave Kagome a look that made her insides squirm. The guy was revolting.

"Uh..Am I going to have help with this one, sir?"

"Yes. Her name is Sango Tajiya. She's a professional demon slayer and a good scientist. I'm sure you two will get the job done." Naraku smirked.

"Wh-What job, sir?" Kagome squeaked.

"Oh Higurashi, I thought you would've known by now. You're to examine this specimen for the Shikon jewel. As you did before...And the time before that..and the time before.." Naraku caught himself,"Anyway, off you go. Get to work Higurashi." He handed her a file with the number of the room she was to go to and dismissed her.

As Kagome got out of the office she let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding.

"I thought I was going to die in there." she said to herself.

"Yeah, the smell is pretty horrible, huh?" a voice broke in to her private conversation with no one.

Kagome turned to her side to see another person. He was human or at least he looked it. He had long black hair that was pulled back in a small ponytail on the back of his head and violet eyes.

"Er..Who are you?" Kagome smiled slightly.

"Miroku, is the name. And you are?"

"I'm Kagome. Kagome Higurashi."

"Ah...You're the other lovely lady that I'm working with." Miroku mouth became twisted in a sick looking smirk.

"Huh..?" Kagome opened the manila folder that Naraku had given her and flipped through it. Miroku was right. He was right after Sango. Miroku Houshi..Scientific accident in 1998 caused strange hand deformation. 'Watch out for his hands ' was a little post-it that was on it. Kagome gave Miroku a look.

"Hey! I'm not that bad." He looked offended by the post-it note,"Note to self...Never grope file workers.."

"I'll have to keep a eye on your hands."

When Kagome and Miroku got to the room that had been assigned to them. Sango was already there. Kagome hadn't expected her to look the way she did. She was very feminine looking for being a demon-slaying scientist. Her long brown hair was up in a tight ponytail on the top of her head and she had a little demon cat on her shoulder that mewed at them as they approached. Kagome came up first.

"Hi, You must be Sango, right?" Kagome tried to sound as friendly as possible.

"Yep. My name is Sango Tajiya. You're Kagome, aren't you?"

"Yes. This is Miroku Houshi." Kagome pointed over her shoulder to the approaching man,"Watch out for his hands."

"I intend to. I had a post-it note too." Sango and Kagome laughed. Miroku pouted. Two beautiful women and he couldn't even grope them easily. Darn that file worker!

"So, what are we dealing with here?" Miroku changed the subject as he stepped up to the door of the room where whatever they were working with was.

"It's something that I've only seen a few times in all my demon slaying years. It's a hanyou. They're very rare." Sang said matter-of-factly.

"What's a hanyou?"

"Hanyou's are half-demons. They had one parent that was a human and one parent that was a demon. Most of them get killed off by people who find them but, for some reason Naraku thinks this one is special." Sango looked a little disgusted,"I personally think it should die also but, Naraku insist on examining it first. He captured it a few weeks ago he said."

"Oh..does it have a name?" Kagome tried looking through the window and into the room but, she couldn't see anything. It was foggy inside.

"It calls itself 'Inuyasha' so, yeah..I guess that's it's name." Sango shrugged.

"Well, are we just going to sit here and talk about it or are we going to go in and see it?" Miroku moved pass them and grabbed the door knob.

"I don't know if I want to see it. From the way Sango described hanyou it seems like it would look really ugly." Kagome stared at the door.

"Well, I wanna see so, I'm going in. I bet you it depends on the parents anyway." Miroku stooped," It can talk right?"

"Yeah but, they sedated it a few minutes ago, it probably won't be very talkative." Sango looked indecisive for a moment,"Alright let's just go see if we're going to have to examine this thing we might as well take a look at it."

The three of them went inside of the room. It was pretty cold and moist. The walls had paintings of trees on them and on the ceiling there was a smily face. Sango looked confused, Miroku looked intrigued, Kagome was scared. It wasn't dark inside the room but, it wasn't lit very good. There was a very dark corner in the far part of the room where they all suspected that Inuyasha was. Sango felt along the wall and found a switch she hit it and the room was filled with light. There was a growl in the back of the room that made Kagome jump.

"Er...Hello?" She squeaked for the second time that day.

They came to a bed in the back of the room. A really big bed. It was full of blankets and huge comforters. But, there didn't seem to be anything there. The blankets started to move and writhe until two triangular ears poked out. They swivelled in the direction of Kagome's voice. Then, there was a yawn.

"I guess you guys are the new people who are going to poke at me." Inuyasha's voice was just like anyone else to Kagome she turned to Sango.

"He sounds just like anyone else Sango."

"Oh, you haven't seen the rest of me." Inuyasha broke in before Sango could reply,"But, I do look better then most."

"May I see the rest of you?" Kagome stepped toward the talking blankets.

"You don't want to."

"Yes, I do. Please..?"

The blankets moved again and this time all of Inuyasha came out. He looked very groggy and he was still lying down but, other then that he was probably the best looking non-human boy Kagome had ever seen. He had two triangular furry dog ears on his head and long white hair. He had amber eyes that weren't focused on anything. He was dressed in lots of red clothes that were very old day but, comfortable looking. He mumbled something incomprehensible and looked at her. His eyelids were half-way closed but, his eyes focused on Kagome.

"Hey! You're pretty handsome!" Kagome grinned. Inuyasha smiled weakly.

"So, Inuyasha, What's your story?" Sango stepped up next to Kagome.

"Wha...?" Inuyasha eyes were getting heavier.

"Why does Naraku want you here to get poked at as you call it..?"

"He hasn't told you yet?" Inuyasha smirked,"He really is a greedy as I thought he was."

"Just tell me."

"I'd rather not. He should tell you himself. If I ever get outta here I'm going to kill him anyway so, get all the information you can." Inuyasha's eyes began to close,"Stupid...drugs.." He was asleep. They wouldn't be talking to him for hours now.

"Great! This whole little thing was pointless! He's just some sort of...er...I don't what he is but, I'm ticked off and I'm hungry!" Sango stormed out of the room leaving Miroku and Kagome staring at a snoring Inuyasha.

"He seems to be lonely, wouldn't you say?" Kagome looked at Miroku. He'd been silent through the whole encounter with the hanyou.

"He's hiding something. He speaks way too vague. He shouldn't be able to speak at all. They sedated him. He should be like a zombie. He must be very powerful to fight the effects of a sedative."

"Yeah. Either that or Naraku is up to something." Kagome knew from that point on that her life would never be the same.

I hope this 1st chapter was satisfying to you all. It's still in the first stages. But, I hope you like it. R&R see ya'.
