I don't own Inuyasha!

Chapter 1- A Rude Awakening

The first thing Akira Amaterasu remembered was hands wrapping around her slender throat and squeezing hard. Her eyes flipped open and what she saw was a man. His long curly hair was the color of a raven's wing and his eyes red as blood. Blue eyeliner graced his eyes as he stared at her with hatred. What had she done to cause such anger? She couldn't remember. All she knew was that her name was Akira Amaterasu, but who was he?

"You are a threat to my existence," said the man. "But without you I'll be weaker. So what do I do with you?"

"W-who are you?" Akira asked as she tried to breath.

"Well, sweet sister, I am your brother Naraku." He said not loosing his grip. Matter of fact he tightened it.

"Let me go," she replied as she straggled in his grasp.

"I think not," Naraku said looking irritated. "You threaten my existence, but you must live for my strength is a part of you. However you're strength is not apart of me. So what to do with you?" he looked away deep in thought before he turned back to her with the most vile grin crossing his face. "I will allow you to live, but you will never see the sun. You will witness my crimes against man, but be unable to intervene. A most fitting existence for one that should of never been born."

Akira was dragged deep into a cave. She was sure that Naraku had pulled her for miles underground as she fought him the whole way, but then she saw a cage. It was made of demon bone and chains made of the same material awaited her arrive. The only light came from a touch on the other side of her soon-to-be home. "No!" Akira screamed fighting his hold on her.

Naraku just laughed at her vain attempts to escape him as he threw her roughly into the cage. Then tentacles burst from his chest holding her to the ground. Naraku wasn't taking any chances on her escape as he placed the chains tightly on her wrist and ankles. Akira looked into his cruel eyes and witness him enjoying her in distress like she was. Akira was scared to say the least and she knew there was no way for her to escape unless someone saved her, but who? Who would rescue her from this hell?

"Now sister, what is your name?" asked the horrid Naraku.

"Akira Amaterasu," she answered.

He chuckled at hearing her name, "Bright shining heaven? Amusing since mine means hell."

"Why do this to me?" she asked not allowing herself to cry.

"You are my sister and are part of me. A large amount of my power lingers in you. If you die I will loose that power. So it is necessary to lock you away, silly girl. If I would not loose this power by your death I would kill you without hesitation." He explained as her white long fingers graced her cheek down to her chin lifting it for her to met his sinister gaze.

"You are a monster," she commented as she glared at him. I will escape and I'll destroy you, she thought determined to stop this foul creature before her.

He smirked as he saw the hatred in her eye before he left her alone in the darkness taking the only light in the cave with him.

Three days passed before someone come to see her. It was a stranger. He was handsome with high cheekbones and a chiseled chin, also he wore a black kimono with a red obi. His hair was chopped short in a messy do and purple eyes glanced at her with pity. He brought with him clothing and large bowl filled with a silvery liquid.

"Who are you?" she asked as he opened the cage as set the clothes next to her naked body. Then set the bowl next to it.

"My name is Ichiro." he said, "I was instructed by Naraku to take care of you."

"In what way?" she asked sadly. So this man is to be my jailor? Great... what next, brother?

"As in serving your every need. I'm to bring you clothes, food, and what ever else you need." He said.

"And making sure I never leave this cage, right?" Akira questioned, "No matter what my brother does I will find a way out of here."

"And do what?" Ichiro asked interested in what she had to say.

"I will kill him for imprisoning me. His own flesh and blood in a cage. If had been kind and loyal to me I would of showed him the same. He is a fool to betray family." she said determined.

"If you two a siblings why are you full demon?" He asked curious.

"I know not why." she said before she sighed. Now how do I escape from here? I could win Ichiro over or seduce him, but I don't even know what I look like or even how to seduce a man for that matter. Her eyes gazed at the bowl full of silvery liquid. "What is that?"

"It's a mirror to see what Naraku is up to. He said he wanted you to witness his crimes and be unable to do anything about it. Cruel creature your brother is." He commented as he looked at her like she was just like him.

"Don't look at me like I'm some sort of monster! I'm not my brother and could never be! I wouldn't of done this," she lifted her arms she shook them making the chains chime against themselves, "to my family! That heartless bastard is nothing like me!"

"You look alike, though the emotion and innocence in your eyes say otherwise." He informed her.

"I look like him?" she asked surprised.

"You don't know," he asked eyes wide.

"I don't know what I look like," she said softly.

He pulled a small object from his kimono and handed it to her. The object was a hand mirror laced in silver and gems. It was beautiful, but Akira didn't care she had to know what she looked like. So she gazed into the mirror her eyes were red with blue eyeliner and her hair long, black, and curly, but that was where the similarities ended. Her skin was a pale pink and her eyes were large with long, full, and dark eye lashes. Her hair was to her knees and her lips were the color of blood. "I'm beautiful," she whispered shocked at the very sight.

"I agree. You are much better looking that your brother or should I say half brother? After all your not even a spider demon like him. If I had to guess I'd say you were a inuyoukai. That is very interesting." he said before he began to ponder.

"What sort of demon are you?" she asked.

"I'm a neko," he replied.

"And you serve him why?" she questioned.

"Because like you I have no choice." he said.

"There is always a choice," she corrected. "It just hard to follow the right one."

He looked at her his eyes warm as he spoke, "He has my sister, Akira. If I don't do what he says she is dead."

"He lies... he will kill her even if you do what he says. I know him, unlike you. Trust me. He will kill her."

"Don't try to trick me!" Ichiro yelled.

"I am not my brother! I do not trick and I do not lie! My own brother said if he could kill me without him loosing his power he would slaughter me without hesitation! You are not here to just keep me imprisoned you are to protect me! Have you not figured this all out by now?!" She demanded. "The only way your sister even has a chance to live is to kill me!"

"Kill you?" he said dumbfounded.

"Yes kill me and save your sister!" She ordered him. "I rather die than be that mans pawn in this stupid cage!" she said then added softly, "If I can't get justice I'd gladly give my life to save an innocent."

He blinked at her words, She'd give her life to save an innocent and someone she doesn't even know? She isn't Naraku at all, but I know I couldn't bring myself to kill her. She is an innocent as well like my sister.

"Ichiro," she said pleadingly. "I don't want your sister to die. So for her end my life. Do what I can not."

"No," he said firmly, "I may be a demon, but I'm not just going to end your life."

"Then you leave me little choice," she said as she neared the bowl still naked.

He eyed her curiously, "We need to get some clothes on you."

"Like I care you and my brother are the only ones who see me." She said as she shot him a glare.

Ichiro moved so fast all she saw as a blur as she stood before her and roughly grabbed her face, "I am a man, Akira and my willpower can only go so far."

She looked into his eyes as she finally noticed the lust filled gaze of his eyes. He wanted her, but she had no desire stir in her. She wonder why that was, but she didn't care to know. Akira had a girl to save... somehow. She quickly pulled her face away from his grasp. "Don't touch me," she whispered as she put distance between them.

Ichiro smirked at her before he handed her the clothes. They where white with black inuyoukai dancing around it with a red obi. She had to say she loved the feel of the rich silks on her skin. So my brother has a taste for fashion. Perhaps he has his perks but he will always be my enemy. What he has done is unforgivable.

"How am I to put these on? I'm chain to a wall." she said annoyed by the fact.

He sighed frustrated, "Hold still I'll unshackle you." Ichiro came forward with a key in his hand and grabbed her wrists and took away the chain. "There put on the top part and then I'll unlock your ankles."

"After you chain my wrist back up," she stated. "You're not taking any chances are you."

"No, I will not risk my sister's life," he told her.

"I just offered my life for you're sister and you don't trust me? What is her name any way?"

"Her name is Yuki and I don't know who to trust." he said as she wrapped the Kimono around herself and tied her obi.

"Wise on your part." she informed him, "Some can't even trust there own kin like myself."

"How did you end up in here?" he asked as he cuffed her wrist then unshackled her ankles.

"All I remember is that I woke up with Naraku's hands around my throat and then being dragged here," she said as put on her pants. "and that was three days ago."

"You remember nothing else?" he asked.

"Only that name is Akira Amaterasu. Other than that no, nothing." she said sadly.

"I'm sorry, Akira."

She took his hand in hers, "Don't be, Ichiro. This is my fate, but I will do what I can for those around me. I will find your sister and help you get her back anyway I can." Akira let go of his hand and turn to the silver pool. "This allows me to see Naraku so I will use it against him to find your sister."

She gazed deep into the deeps of the silvery pool and what she saw broke her heart...

50 yeas later

Kagome threw her legs over the well feeling rather odd. If she didn't know better she'd say that someone was watching her. She sighed. Kagome hated being spied on but who was spying on her?

Then there was a crash through the forest as she saw a giant cyclops demon burst out of the forest toward her, "Give me you're jewel shard, pathetic human!" it yelled.

Crap! Kagome thought, Where the hell are you Inuyasha?! I wish I had my bow right now!

It was inched from her before someone knocked it off it's feet, "You don't attack innocent on my watch!" hissed a woman in a white kimono that was stained in fresh blood that wasn't the cyclops.

Is she injured? Kagome asked in her mind then she noticed, Oh my god! She looks like Naraku! Could she be on of his incarnations? If so why is she helping me?!

The woman was panting hard as she glare at the creature. She was injured and knew she didn't know long before she passed out she had to do this quickly. Long black claw extended from her fingers as she charge forward and jumped forward clawing at his eye. Good he is blind it should be easy to take him out.

The creature was scream as she plunged her hand into his chest and ripped out his heart and dropped it heart the next second. Then she turned to the girl who clung to the well that smelled of death. She quickly strolled toward her before she asked, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, thanks for that." Kagome replied.

"I'm glad you're alright. My name is Akira Amaterasu." she said as she kneeled down on one knee in obvious pain before she passed out.

"Akira! Hey, are you alright?!" Kagome yelled as she hopped off the well. When she neared that when she saw all the cuts in her kimono and under those cuts were large wounds. Kagome gasped, "Akira,"

"Kagome!" Inuyasha called as she burst into the clearing. "Where Naraku?! I can smell him!"

"How am I suppose to know?! And hey where the hell were you when I was attacked by the cyclops?! It it wasn't for this girl I'd be dead!"

"I-"

"You were with Kikyo weren't you?! I knew it! Sit boy!"

"Keh!" he yelped as his face planted into the ground. "You bitch!"

She ignored him as she placed her pack on the ground and dogged out her first aid kit. The she kneeled down next to her and opened the kit. She had to stop the bleeding and fast.

"Kagome," Sango and Miroku called as the reached the clearing as the rode Kirara with Shippo.

"Inuyasha said he could smell Naraku and bolted this way." Shippo said.

"Where is he?" Miroku asked as he turned to Inuyasha said who still had his face planted firmly in the ground. Miroku couldn't suppress his laugher as Inuyasha finally lifted his head from the dirt. The look on Inuyasha's face was priceless.

"He's close, but I can't tell where it's from." Inuyasha said as he stood and dusted himself off. "Question is who is SHE?"

"Her name is Akira Amaterasu," Kagome said, "She was injured before she killed the cyclops. If Naraku is near maybe he is the one who injured her."

"She smells... pure." Inuyasha commented.

"What do you mean?" Miroku asked eyeing his friend curiously.

"I've never smelled purity on a demon before. I mean she more innocent smelling than a newborn. It's strange." Inuyasha said confused by her scent.

"Does that mean she's good?" Kagome asked. She had yet to let them see what she looked like as she was readying her supplies to tend to Akira's wounds.

"Yeah," Inuyasha said the questioned, "why do you ask?"

Kagome flipped over Akira and the whole gang gasped at what they saw, "She looks just like Naraku!" Miroku then corrected himself, "A hot female Naraku!" His words of course earn his a pissed off glare from Sango.

"Is she one of his incarnations?" Shippo asked.

"Don't compare me to his vile incarnations or Naraku in general," Akira said as she suddenly sitting up. "Naraku nears. I suggest you get out of here. I don't wait you hurt because of me" She looked up and her eyes when wide when she spotted, "I-Inuyasha?"

"You know me? Just who the fuck are you?"

"I know you, but you don't know me. I'm sorry I was too late to save you and Kikyo. I tried." she said as her head dropped with her shame. "My only crime is being born. I am Akira Amaterasu. My brother is Naraku."

"His sister?" Inuyasha said as he unsheathed his sword. "He's here!"
