Hi guys! I've been thinking about doing this for a while before I joined the site, and I must admit I didn't want to do it because I thought it would be silly, but now I have finally come to the conclusion that I don't care what others think, so long as I enjoy writing it.

Rain Muse: Now that's the spirit!

Me: Aww, thanks! You're a lot nicer than the muses from my other fanfic!

Raineyes & Icekit Muses: HEY!

Me: YOU! GET BACK TO YOUR OWN STORY BEFORE I DELETE IT!

Kagome Muse: Don't you think deleting the story you put so much effort into is overdoing it a little?

Me: True that, true that.

Inuyasha Muse: Ahem! *cough* disclaimer *cough*

Me: Alright, alright, no need to be rude! Then again, look who I'm asking…

Inuyasha Muse: What's that supposed to mean?!

Unfortunately I do not own Inuyasha or Warriors. All rights go to their proper owners.

…

In a dark forest, a lonely figure was hunched over, bleeding from a cut on her arm. She clutched at the teardrop shaped pendant around her neck as it slowly turned from blue to red. The scent of blood was drawing HER out.

"No!" The girl croaked. "I won't let you control my heart any longer!" And with that, the girl began chanting an ancient spell to draw darkness from one's body. A scream pierced the still forest air as another figure formed out of the girl's blood. A girl like the one from which she came in every way, other than her black hair and red eyes. The second figure grinned, and her hand immediately went around the first girl's throat.

Inuyasha perked his ears at what sounded like a scream, coming from the direction of the forest. He could smell blood. The others were awake and quickly rising up and grabbing their weapons. Kagome seemed to be uncomfortable for whatever reason.

"Kagome," Inuyasha spoke up. "Can you sense any jewel shards?" Kagome shook her head, looking puzzled.

"No," She replied. "But I can sense a strong demonic aura, which is weird. I didn't sense it earlier." She quickly grabbed her bow and arrows. Miroku looked just as puzzled as Kagome must have felt.

"I agree that this aura wasn't here earlier." He mused. "It's almost as if it appeared out of nowhere. Inuyasha," The monk turned to his half-demon friend. "Can you scent anything that might tell us what direction this demonic aura is coming from?" Inuyasha sniffed the air.

"The scent of human blood." He murmured darkly. "It's coming from the forest, near the Bone-Eater's Well." Sango nodded, picking up her Hiraikotsu.

"Let's get going." She spoke through her poison mask. Everyone nodded, then sped off to find the source of the scream.

Inuyasha and Kagome burst through the trees with the others hard on their heels to a surprising scene. A black haired girl was lifting up another girl- unconscious with various cuts and bruises all over her –by the neck. The girl with the black hair turned to face them, and bared her teeth. Kagome gasped and tightened her grip on her bow.

The girl's eyes were blood red, and her teeth were pointy and gleamed in the light of the moon. She stared straight at Kagome, and Inuyasha felt her flinch against him. "You…" The girl hissed staring into Kagome's eyes. She dropped the girl she had been choking and attempted to snatch the pendant around her neck. Kagome drew an arrow across the string, and she swiftly fired and arrow, intercepting the demon's hand. She shrieked in fury and glared at Kagome, then taking two steps back and turning back to run into the trees. Sango and Miroku chased after her, while Kagome crouched over the unconscious girl. Shippo leaped up onto her shoulder.

"Do you think she's gonna be alright, Kagome?" The little fox-demon asked. Kagome shook her head.

"I don't know, Shippo. She's beaten up pretty badly, and that cut on her arm is really deep." She sighed. She then turned to look at Inuyasha.

"Come on, we should bring her to Kaede's Village." Kagome murmured. Inuyasha nodded, but his thoughts were really elsewhere. That demon's scent, it had been the same as the scent of the girl now lying unconscious. Also, save for the demon's black hair and blood red eyes, the two looked exactly the same. Apart from that, why had the demon even gone after the girl's pendant anyway? Sango and Miroku soon returned through the trees.

"No sign." Sango sighed shaking her head. "The demon's aura is gone too. It's as if it simply vanished." She finished in bewilderment. Miroku stepped up.

"We should most likely get this girl to the village. And maybe…" Miroku's words were cut off as Sango hit his head with her Hiraikotsu.

"Don't even think about it, monk." She threatened, and Miroku laughed nervously as Kirarra, Sango's two-tailed demon-cat companion, hauled the unconscious girl onto her back, and the group headed back to Kaede's village.

Rain woke up to light shining in her eyes, and felt a soft weight on her chest. "Daaad," She mumbled groggily. "Turn off the lights, it's too early." She expected her father to say something about her having a track meet or, too bad, but she heard nothing. She opened her eyes and rubbed them to find a cream cat with red eyes and a four-pointed black star on her forehead.

"Hey there, kitty." She mumbled scratching the cat behind the ears and smiling when it purred. "How's my little Bluestar?" The cat mewed, and walked off the cot that Rain was sleeping on. Looking again, Rain saw that the cat had different markings then her sweet little tom cat. In fact, the cat had two tails! "Wh-what the…?!" Rain leaped back, and winced as she felt her arm trickle a little blood. She looked at it, and noticed that there were bandages wrapped around it. Instinctively she grabbed her pendant, and sighed with relief when she found that it was still around her neck.

"Refreshing Rain." She whispered noticing a jug of water nearby. The water swirled out of the jug, and gathered above her head, then bursting and letting tiny sparkles of water fall on her, healing her wounds. As she was unwrapping her bandages, a black haired girl wearing a high-school uniform walked into her room, carrying a first-aid kit. Wait, black hair?! Rain screamed and flung herself back, grabbing her pendant and preparing to cast a spell, before realizing that the girl wasn't her counterpart.

"Kagome!" A male voice shouted, and a half-dog-demon ran into the room, about to draw out his blade, before realizing that nothing was wrong. He looked at Rain, and she flinched. Why was this half-demon staring at her like that? "I see you're awake." He sniffed curtly. Rain looked down at her bandages and continued to unwrap them.

"Uh, yeah. Sorry for screaming, I thought you were… s-someone else." Rain muttered. After unwrapping the bandage around her arm, she realized her mistake and quickly tried to rewrap it, but it was too late. The damage had been done.

"Your wound!" The girl, Kagome, gasped. "But how, it was so deep I figured it would take at least a week to heal!" As Kagome stared at Rain's wound in fascination, the half-demon glared at her suspiciously. Rain felt her cheeks growing hot with embarrassment. Then again, I don't blame him. My cut seems to have healed overnight which, I guess it did considering I used a healing spell on it.

"Well, yeah, um, I-I heal pretty quickly. My parents never knew how or why I did that, but I did." Rain blushed standing up. "My name's Rain, by the way. Who are you?" The black-haired girl smiled.

"Well, my name is Kagome Higurashi. And that's Inuyasha." She smiled, and Inuyasha just sniffed. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Rain." Rain smiled back.

"You too." She murmured. "You too." Rain suddenly felt a yearning to go back home. Her Clanmates needed her, as did Ebonykit! And yet, they did save my life… I suppose I owe them something for that. Rain finally came to the conclusion that she would stay with them for a while, and let the story play out. Besides, they just might be able to help her with the situation in the world of the Clans…
