This story starts just after Sesshomaru gets his left arm and a new sword.

Inside the hut Inuyasha sits with Kagome who is caring for Rin and Kohaku who are both unconcus from the earlier battle. Outside, Sesshomaru stands over Totosai as his new sword, Bakusaiga is fixed. Miroku and Sango stand from a distance watching them careful not to get too close.

Sesshomaru's nose twitched. He smelled something. Something very familiar. Then a split second later someone with incredible speed jumped out of the nearby forest.

Sesshomaru cursed silently to himself for not noticing it earlier and drew tetsega just as the person striked. The person had long white hair that was tied neatly into a ponytail and ...was a girl! She launched herself again at sesshomaru just as fast as he himself could move. Each srike had incredible power yet was carefully controlled.

Sesshomaru smiled. She fought with a regular sword that should have broken by now with the power that was being delivered with each blow. Yeah he definitely knew her. She delivered another two strikes which sesshomaru easily blocked. then on the third blow, he striked back. Sesshomaru's sword hit her's with such force that it knocked the girl off her feet and sent her five feet into the air. But she quickly regained control and did a back hand spring then skitted a cupel more feet from the left over momentom, and jolted back into action.
