NEW INUYASHA STORY! WHOO! Uh, still no ideas about it, really. I'ma just gonna go on. I usually don't do stuff that has to do with death and sadness and deception, cause my life has enough of it, but this is a first kick at it.

Inuyasha: She comes to torture us again.

Me: * singing some Country, so Inuyasha will go away*

Inuyasha: MY EARS! * runs away*

Kagome: Is that all you have to do? Sing country? Wow.I've been doing it wrong..all these years.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, and never will I own Inuyasha.

*^~^*^~^*^~^*^~^*

Sumiko lay in the middle of the path, half dead. She wished she were fully dead, but knew that to be too easy for her. She seemed only a child of maybe twelve, not much of a child, going into her older years. She had the darkest of hair, that shimmered in the sunlight, and deep purple eyes. She screamed out in pain as her final attacker kicked her in the ribs, and ran off.

*^~^*

Inuyasha looked around, hearing a scream. " What is it, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, staring at him.

" I heard someone scream, she's close by," Inuyasha replied, and sniffed the air. " Blood." He could tell that someone around there had shed a lot of blood.

" Well come on then!" Sango yelled. Miroku and Inuyasha ran towards where the scream had started, and Sango, Shippo, and Kagome were on the transformed Kilala. Though Kilala started after the two men, she arrived at the same time. Sango stared from where she was, this girl.

Kagome looked at Sango, " What is it?" She asked, and stepped forward.

" Sumiko?" Sango whispered, looking at this girl, but how could it be Sumiko? Sumiko would have been her age by now.

Sumiko started to open her eyes, hearing her name. She was quarter demon, of the youkai kind, which made her hearing better then usual.

Sango ran to Sumiko's side, shoving Miroku out of the way. She knew it was Sumiko, only she had those sad eyes. " Sumiko, we need to get back to Kaede's village." Sango hit Inuyasha, meaning he had to pick her up.

Inuyasha muttered something, and picked Sumiko up. He started running towards Kaede's Village, the rest of them following behind. Sango seemed to be on Kilala, keeping up with Inuyasha and Miroku and Kagome seemed to be walking.

As they came upon the village, Sumiko was taken to Kaede to have her wounds bandaged and cleaned. She seemed to be having a bad dream, laying there.

*^~^* Dream *^~^*

Sumiko stared into the eyes of a stranger, the sadness in them becoming unbearable. She knew the eyes of this stranger, it was the one person who had ever understood her. It was Naraku, the one who had betrayed her, and put this curse upon her.

Naraku held Sumiko's hand, and then kissed her passionately. Except for in this dream, she was older, she was much older, her true age, not this body, but her real body. She didn't pull away, but didn't want it, she knew it was out of pity. And finally she did pull away, she was better than to take pity kisses.

And in an instant, the second Naraku shoved her down, she woke..

*^~^* End Dream *^~^*

She sat up quickly, but found it hurt her side. She knew she must have broken most of her ribs, but where was she? She remembered hearing Sango.

Sango stared at Sumiko, and smiled happily, " You're okay." She went to hug her, but stopped. " You should rest, you really need it. Let's talk later." Sango smiled, and bowed to Sumiko, before leaving.

Sumiko watched Sango, ' Sango, my one friend, the one friend who always cared about me.my only friend.' She thought, before passing out again.

Sango sighed, looking at Miroku and Kagome. " Sumiko was a friend of mine, when we were younger. My father didn't like her, and when he found out she was quarter demon, he was happy. I don't know what happened after that. I heard one thing, Naraku betrayed her. Naraku and Sumiko were in love, when Sumiko said she did not want to marry yet, he betrayed her, and put a curse on her. Which I guess.is why she looks so young. I thought it was only rumors." Sango sighed, and looked at Kagome.

" Naraku loved someone, besides himself?" Inuyasha laughed, staring at them. He did somewhat feel sorry for Sumiko though, being put through Naraku, and everything.
