Ok. For those who've seen my other fics, this one will be odd. Cause I was thinking of reversing roles. =P I was wondering what would happen if KAGOME was the one that was a half-demon and then INUYASHA was the reincarnation of OKITOKI? XD Silly… But, it was bugging meee~ =(

Reversed Tale:

Chapter One: A Bond and Attacks

A love is something to cherish. Some loves can withstand time. Most cannot even survive a month.

"Where did you go? Where are you, half-demon?"

"Right here!" She said, coming from above and slicing the demon in half with her claws. "There. One less to call me a half-demon and live to tell the tale... Oh, well." Her name was Kagome and she wore a red and green kimono with the hakama more tight than most around. Her green kisode barely visible due to the red kimono, her white hair had black streaks through it while her golden eyes scanned the area, soon being attacked by two other demons, who managed to nick her arm, but she made quick work of them. 'I need to get stronger, dammit...'

She resumed running, knowing that tonight was a bad night. 'Gotta hurry. Tonight's the night...' She paused when she felt and smelt blood. "What happened?" She lept silently and landed to be hidden from a single man who had been apparently hurt. 'A human? Is that really a man?' She froze and slinked closer to the bark just as she pulsed a little.

The man looked in the tree, right at her. By the looks of it, he had a hard fight. He spoke. "How long do you intend to stay up there and hide from me?" Rain began to fall and the man refused to look away. "Are you after the Sacred Jewel as well?"

"Sacred Jewel? Never heard of it." Their eyes connected before the man replied.

"If you are not after it, then never mind. If you value your life at all, I warn you to stay away from me." He turned and walked away, not going far before he collapsed, making Kagome leap down and rush over to see what happened.

She stared as the rain washed away the dirt from the man's face, blinking and muttering. "He's some priest..."

"Lord Okitoki!" A child called, making Kagome dash off.

A few miles away, Kagome managed to get into another tree and rest before she heard a centipede or something fly overhead. "I must find it to increase my demonic powers before my body fails me."

She grinned slightly. "I get it now... So that's what it's about... The Sacred Jewel, huh?" Her eyes opened to show not only her eyes, but the determination to take the jewel. "It's worth looking into." Her mind flashed to the man as she turned thoughtful. "That man's name was Okitoki..." The next day, she had tracked down his scent and chuckled a tiny bit. "Hey, Okitoki. I heard this Sacred Jewel was a powerful crystal that increases the power of demons."

"I remember you. You were hiding in the shadows the other night."

Kagome tensed and glared. "Shut up! Just hand over that Sacred Jewel!" Before she even got close, a few throwing knives pinned her to a tree, making her struggle.

"I thought so. I thought I sensed a different aura from you. So you are a mere half-demon." He got her to snarl at that. "With the Sacred Jewel, you could become a full-blooded demon. Would you go that far to find your place in the world, half-demon? Do you believe that is true power?"

"I told you to shut up! I'll become the strongest demoness around. I've already made up my mind, bastard!" She glared. "And when I do, I'll put you out of your misery!"

He seemed to sigh in a laugh. "Take my word for it. That won't happen. As long as I purify and guard the jewel."

"Don't make me laugh... You reek of demon blood!" That got Okitoki to pause his walk. "What's the matter, bastard? Did I strike a nerve? Huh, Okitoki?"

"You better stay away from me if you don't want to be killed. There'll be no third chance."

"Heh! I'm not giving up that easily! Go ahead and run, you won't get away from me with that bloody demon scent on ya, you'll be easy enough to find!"

One day, she had caught him with a little boy. "Okitoki, hand over that damned jewel already! We'll end this today... Get that brat away, though..."

"Souta, go hide in the trees."

"Right, Brother Okitoki."

"Half-demon, what name are you called? Surely you have a name since you are a half-demon." Okitoki asked, having a hand ready with throwing knives. "If you tell me your name, I will stop calling you half-demon."

"Stop fucking calling me a 'half-demon', would ya?" Kagome snarled before glaring. "It's Kagome."

"Kagome, you say? I will remember that."

And yet again, Kagome soon found herself pinned and gulped, prepared to die when he walked away again. "WILL YOU STOP IT?! Why do you never fucking finish me off?!"

For the next few months, Kagome watched over the Okitoki man, helping whenever he got into too much trouble, even seeing when he bathed [[A/N: Curious and not in that way!]]. She blinked when she heard that kid-Souta?-scream, knowing Okitoki wouldn't be able to get to him in time. "Get down, kid! Crush Wrecker Soul Sniper!" She cut the centipede into pieces. "Heh. No way in hell I'd let a weak demon like you steal the jewel from under my nose!"

"Umm... Thank you for saving me..." Souta said.

"You got it all wrong, kid. I don't want anyone else taking the jewel, that's all." Kagome huffed and looked away.

One day, Okitoki called her to sit by him. "Kagome, you are there, are you not? Why don't you come down?" Kagome glared the entire time when he spoke again. "This is the first time we've spoken up close."

"So? Your point is...?" She sneered.

"I understand you saved my brother Souta."

Kagome mentally cursed the kid and scoffed again. "Oh, that..."

"I want to thank you, too."

"Trust me. The gratitude thing doesn't look good on ya."

Okitoki smiled and looked at her. "How do I look to you? Do I seem human?"

Kagome stared. "Now what the hell are ya goin on about?"

"I show my weakness to no one. I must never have doubts or demons will overcome me. I am human, yet I cannot be human." He said. "You and I are alike; You, a half-demon, and that is why I could not kill you."

"That sounds like an excuse." Kagome snorted and stood up. "Doesn't seem like you." As she walked, she turned to see pure... something in his violet eyes.

"You're right. It's not like me..." He smiled and stood up. "Kagome...?"

"Huh? What is it?"

"Nevermind."

Kagome was surprised before she stared as he began to walk away. 'Okitoki...' "Okitoki! Come back here tomorrow!" When he turned around, she flushed a tiny bit. "I mean, I wanna give you something."

"That's good. I was thinking of giving you something."

"Is it the Sacred Jewel!?" She asked before he shook his head. "Shoulda known..."

Here's an updated chapter, taking a little bit from the fourth Inuyasha movie for when they headed to Horai Island the first time. I'll be trying to edit the other chapters to keep showing until they meet up again... Fun! \-o-/
