Chapter 1

Inu-Yasha and Kagome find trouble in the future

"I sense a Jewel Shard." Kagome said as she stopped packing things into her bag. Inu-Yasha, who'd been looking out Kagome's window, turned to look at her.

"Where, here?" The hanyou asked surprised.

"Yes here." Kagome said standing up and taking her bow and quiver of arrows from under her bed. "It's coming from the North." she said pointing.

"Good, let's go." Inu-Yasha took her hand and climbed out the window. Kagome climbed onto his back. Inu-Yasha jumped from roof to roof according to Kagome's directions.

"It's here." the girl said as Inu-Yasha jumped down from a roof on an open lot.

"Where?" the hanyou asked, looking around. Kagome climbed off his back.

"There!" she and Inu-Yasha said at the same time. A shadow moved across the back wall. A voice laughed.

"So this is the half breed the legend speaks about." The voice said. Inu-Yasha stepped in front of Kagome.

"And who the hell are you?" the hanyou asked. The voice didn't reply. "Kagome," he whispered, "Get out of here." and drew Tetsusaiga.

"No, I'm not leaving you." the girl answered. Inu-Yasha growled in the back of his throat.

"Why don't you listen?" he asked as a tall figure walked out of the shadows. "Damn it." Inu-Yasha mumbled, tightening his grip on Tetsusaiga.

"I hang around you too much." Kagome said as she took a step back, even with Inu-Yasha. "What is it?" she asked, looking over his shoulder.

"Inu-Youkai." Inu-Yasha mumbled, Kagome gasped. She had never thought about there being other dog demons. The youkai standing in front of Inu-Yasha and Kagome smiled, his ears on the top of his head twitching as they listened for danger.

"Very good, I didn't know half-breeds could tell if someone was a youkai, let alone what kind, by just looking at them."

"Shut-up." Inu-Yasha growled. The youkai smiled again and swished his tail.

"Oh, did I make the little puppy mad?" He taunted.

"Don't listen to him Inu-Yasha!" Kagome said shaking the hanyou lightly.

"Get out of the way Kagome." Inu-Yasha said pulling out of her hands. He walked forward. "Does he have a shard?" he asked.

"Yes," Kagome mumbled. "It's on his forehead." She added. Inu-Yasha grinned.

"You're mine—" the hanyou said, running at the Inu-Youkai. The youkai stepped sideways as Inu-Yasha ran past.

"The Demon Lord Tsukaiyata will not be killed so easily." The youkai said as he watched Inu-Yasha turn to him.

"Demon lord huh?" the hanyou asked lifting Tetsusaiga again. He ran at Tsukaiyata again. As Inu-Yasha ran past this time, the youkai crouched down and ran his claws deeply down his left leg. Inu-Yasha jumped sideways.

"Inu-Yasha!" Kagome yelled when she saw the blood and the hanyou's torn leg. Inu-Yasha fell to one knee.

"Damn it." He breathed again. Tsukaiyata stood calmly, Inu-Yasha's blood dripping off his claws, a lightness to his eyes.

"Are you ready to die half-breed?" The youkai asked flexing his claws, blood still dripping from them. Inu-Yasha growled lightly as he got to his feet.

"There's no way in hell I'm gonna die that easily." Inu-Yasha responded. He lifted Tetsusaiga and charged again. Tsukaiyata sighed and walked past him to the other side of the lot. Inu-Yasha stopped and turned to look at Tsukaiyata. "What are you doing over there?" the hanyou asked resting Tetsusaiga over his shoulder. He stepped toward Tsukaiyata.

"You are slow when you use that blade. You should be proud of your claws. What a waste that you have Youkai blood flowing in your veins." Tsukaiyata taunted. Inu-Yasha growled and ran at Tsukaiyata, but stopped short as a purple arrow flew past his head. The arrow flew just above Tsukaiyata's shoulder, making a slight red line appear on his neck.

"That was a warning shot." Kagome said, still poised in her ready stance. Tsukaiyata smiled and lifted a hand to his neck as he looked up at Kagome. A drop of blood ran down his neck onto his finger. Tsukaiyata continued to smile as he lifted his left hand to his face.

"This isn't." The youkai said flicking his wrist toward Kagome. A wave of fire shot from Tsukaiyata's fingertips, and blazed toward the girl.

"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha yelled.

"Inu-Yasha!" Kagome yelled turning around and trying not to scream.
