Hello all you wandering people to randomly come to look at my stories. I know they are messed up and weird, but I am glad some people take the time to read what few things I have down. And to those I am glad! Now, onto the disclaimer!

DISCLAIMER: The people who own me say I own nothing...so let me just leave it at that.

"Talking"

'thoughts'

---------------------------------------------

I tilt my head in a confused fashion, staring at the sleeping figures that I happened to stumble upon. I had been walking down the forest path, my pet lesser dragon following in my footsteps. I had heard murmuring through the bushes on my left. I shouldn't have gone through, but curiousity had gotten the better of me. I carefully walked through the brush, making sure that my sometimes clumsy steps did not break any twigs laying helpless on the ground. I climbed through while my friend daintily glided over, gracefully landing, waiting for me to meet up with him. And now we are back to the same spot as before. I turned to look at my companion, only to see that he was as confused as I was at the site that was before us. To our right in a brightly color bag lay a girl with ebony hair, she was holding what looked like a fox demon. That puzzled me the most though. Mainly because she was a mortal. I knew that because I could sense demonic auras and she had none. I glanced to the left of their make-shift fire, there, in 2 dully colored bags, sleeping peacefully is what seemed like a monk and what was perhaps a demon slayer.

I looked more closely at the monk and realized that he had a large bruise on the side of his face. My dragon waddled closer to slayer, mostly because he wanted to sniff the furry ball within her grasp. In her other hand furthest from the monk, I saw that she was tightly holding a large wooden...triangle? I was amazed by what I thought was a weapon. I had never seen anything like it before. Besides the fox youkai in the young ningen's arms, I sensed no demons coming from anywhere. My winged partner came closer to me, whimpering lightly as he sent mental images of questioning into my mind. I laughed whole-heartedly at his efforts to soothe my wandering thoughts. I hardly called my dragon a pet. He acted much more as a friend to me than any person had. He could understand my feelings, just as I could him. He knew what I said to him, although I don't think I will ever be able to decode his language.

I stroked his head, more to relax him than myself. I tried to keep my gaze off the fire, to focus on anything around me that might be coming, but I couldn't resist its strong hold on my thoughts. Before I knew it, the large reptile at my side had fallen fast asleep. The thing that added more wondering to my already confused mind was that the young women that slept in the multi-colored bag was muttering incoherent words from where I stood. I moved closer to try and see if I could find out what she was saying. She kept repeating one name, often adding more words to it, but mainly it was that one name. For a quick moment I thought she was in a feverish dream, but I didn't dare wake her.

"InuYasha...help me...INUYASHA!" she somewhat screamed his name in a terrified tone that made me think of someone making love. I shook that idea from my head. Something like that would be more pleading, this poor soul was asking this guy to save her from something, but in her dream, I guess he wasn't going to.

I yawned as I grew bored with the girl's constant whispering of the mystery man's name. 'InuYasha.' Where have I heard that before. I thought back to my past, even though I didn't like to, I did. By this time my friend had picked up his head, looking at me with his normal reddish eyes. I looked back into the flame and ran into a faint memory that might have helped. I like the name from my mind, and tried it on my partly-dry lips.

"InuTaisho." I loved the ring of the name. Even though it sounded close to InuYasha, I still thought that the InuTaisho name had more grace to it. My dragon got up with a start, almost throwing me of his back where I had been accustomed to sitting. He started to sniff the air, emitting a low growl from the depths of his throat, his calm eyes turning into fiercer glowing ones. For a moment I thought 'it was only a small woodland creature', until my companion had turned his head, his eyes locked on to an unseen object or figure.

I sent him commanding telepathic images and he immediately settled down, lieing back down with only a small whimper. I sighed quite loudly, surprising myself for I didn't think I was that relieved or relaxed. I sensed further into the direction that the dragon was worried about. I felt nothing there, and even though I couldn't see or smell as good as he does, I knew that my sensing powers were just as, if not more, powerful. A grin graced the edge of my mouth as I had often called my dragon a lizard. Heck, I had even known people that called dragons worms. That would be a mystery that I would never figure out.

'What was bothering Ember though, he never acts like that.' I shrugged off the though that something could be following us, I mean what demon or human in their right mind would come into a camp with a dragon in it. The effects of fatigue were wearing on me since I hadn't gotten any sleep in 4 nights. My eye lids started to droop as my breathing slowed down to a steady rythm. I was almost completely asleep when I heard a noise behind me. My eyes snapped open, my attention was to its fullest as I tried to sense where the noise was coming from. I heard running from the back of me. I slowly started to turn to the source of the noise, trying to keep cool and collected. I had hoped that everything could remain nice and calm, and that the noise was only a small harmless animal. But not everything turned out how I wanted it to.

"IronReaper Soul Stealer!" a man's voice shouted. Thinking quickly I jumped upward, pushing back with my legs, doing a sort of half flip. If only my landing was that graceful. I had landed by skidding to a halt 10 feet away. I was crouched down low like a submissive dog, not really the position I was striving for either. One of my knees was bleeding steadily, I looked down and saw small, faint claw marks. The red sticky liquid mixed with the dirt, another thing I had not looked forward to. By this time, Ember had run to my side, and after helping me to my feet, he started to clean out my large cut with his tongue. Given this small amount of time to prepare, each person that was sleeping, was wide awake and armed.They were standing beside my attacker, that much I knew, but I didn't know what weapons they had, that is except the demon slayer who I knew had a large triangle. I looked down at my leg and winced slightly, it would always leave a scar, a small one, but a scar. With my mind, I thanked Ember, knowing that dragon saliva had strange healing powers.

After I had thanked my friend, we both moved into a fighting stance, my legs stood slightly apart, my arms raising. The dragon moved back and opened his wings, throwing up his head and letting out a shrill cry. I could tell that a few of my enemies flinched, and that I smirked at. After the lizard finished his perfermance, I looked up, my eyes were now piercing red, through my hair, which shined a deep violet as the morning sun rose. I finally got a good look at the weapon choice of my opponents as I brushed aside the loose strands of hair from my face.

I looked around at them, the demon slayer had her triangle in the air ready to throw it, and the dreaming girl had an arrow nocked in her bow, ready to let it fly straight to my heart. The monk was holding a staff tightly with one hand, his free hand quite close to the one with the prayer beads wrapped around it. The monk looked closely at me for a quick second and let down his guard. 'Wrong choice bub.' I whispered in my head also being foolish enough not to look at the last fighter's choice of weaponry. I charged, powering up my hand to slice the houshi's throat. Although I hated to kill, it was kill or be killed at this moment. Just as I was about to make the final blow, I felt a strong wind coming from my side.

Realizing that I had skipped over one of the fighter's, I pushed off the monk's side, not hurting him, but rather pushing him down so he wouldn't get hurt either. I landed lightly, looking around swiftly to see the same person that had attacked me earlier. I growled and looked over at Ember. He was surrouned by a large fire neko that I hadn't seen before, the demon slayer, and the human. I prayed silently that he could take care of himself and not get hurt. I looked back over to the demon hold what was now a huge sword.

He smirked at me and started to run in my direction. "You die now!" was the last thing I heard before I started to concentrate on dodging each swipe of this large fang-like sword. I focused on his sword's and his own demonic aura also. I had a gut feeling that somehow they were both growing in power, although I didn't have a clue how. I finally figured it out though, and I knew that if he released this attack, and I might not be able to dodge it.

Hurrying, I ran over to the human with the bow and arrow. Right before she shot her weapon, I stretched my arm out and grabbed her neck with a clawed hand. I shifted my eyes back to the demon. To say the least I was quite surprised. His face no longer was ignorant and it almost seemed as if he were changing. "Perfect" I whispered, making the raven-head look at me. I released her quickly and shot toward my rival.

"InuYasha, Watch Out!" my freed captive screamed desperately. It was too late though, by the time he registered what happened, I was close to tearing open his jugular vein. Right when I was about to bring death upon him...a brown object jumped onto my hand.

"Mistress Klarabell, stop this, this instant!" came a commmanding voice from the dot. I skidded to a stop and jumped backwards. The last thing I noticed the surprised look on my opponents' faces before I brought my hand up to look at this thing. It looked like a larger version of a bug, with a slightly human-like body. Again I searched my mind to figure out who this thing was, and how it knew my name. Then it hit me.

"My...Myouga?" I questioned, the name bringing back so many memories I was starting to get a major migrane. I felt light-headed almost as if I had stood up too fast. I had no idea was that was caused by, until I looked down at the flee-demon. There, as clear as daylight, he was sucking my blood, now over twice his size and still growing. I rolled my eyes, growling as I plucked Myouga from my hand, putting him on my shoulder. I looked up again to see the raven-head and the hanyou standing speechless, while the houshi and taijiya whispered among themselves.

"Myouga, what the heck are you doing?" the white-haired demon exclaimed angrily. He stormed back and forth, trying to decide whether to attack me or not. "She is the enemy...stupid flea...can't do anything right...always getting in the way" he continued to mumble under his breath.

"Yes Myouga, what are you doing here, you usually flee when a battle begins" the monk asked. The girl with the archery put her weapons away and tried to calm the mumbling one. I looked and watched as the large cat turned into a smaller kitten-like form and hopped into the slayer's arms. 'So that's where the fire beast came from.'

Myouga cleared his throat loudly, awaiting everyone to be quiet and listen. Exasperated, the archer dragged the demon over to the slayer and they all sat down. The monk was already sitting on the last available rock. I sighed and looked at Ember. He shrugged, as much as a dragon could. He kneeled down and I gently suited myself onto his back. The flea jumped to my knee and sat down.

"Now everyone, please just remain calm. I know how hard that is for you Master InuYasha, but bear with me. I would like to introduce you to Mistress Klarabell of the Western Lands and her dragon companion Ember. I want no more fighting between any of you either" Myouga stated strictly. What he said puzzled me though. I had never been addressed by Mistress Klarabell of the Western Lands, heck, I hadn't even been addressed as Mistress before. I looked over at the hanyou and tilted my head. 'He is kinda cute though,' I giggled inwardly, 'especially with those kawaii ears of his!'

"You mean to tell me she is Sesshoumaru's mate!" InuYasha screamed out.

I blinked then snorted, standing up. "Excuse me...but I happened to be claimed by no one." I said angrily. The taijiya looked me over, trying to decide if I was human or demon. I scoffed at her, "I'm a demon of couse, I can't believe a slayer couldn't already see that."

"Well not a pure demon" the brown dot calmy stated, examining the cut that InuYasha gave me. Unfortunately, it was bleeding again from running on it. But that didn't stop my little outburst...

"WHAT!" I screamed horrified. Birds in the nearby trees took off in full flight as I continued my screaming. "What do you mean I am not a full demon, there is no way that I am a hanyou, I may not remember my past too well, but I can NOT be a half-breed!"

Myouga sighed heavily. He knew that he shouldn't have said anything, but he just had to go and open his big mouth and tell me. "You are not exactly a hanyou sort to say." He paused trying to figure out what to say, but he fumbled over his words in his mind, "Let me just tell you how it happened."

"When you were quite young, Master InuTaisho found you walkind along this same exact forest path. By this time you had just barely found Ember, he was more of a protector to you then. I was with the Master, more or less on his shoulder talking about the new birth of young Master Sesshoumaru. InuTaisho picked up Mistress Klarabell by the collar of her shirt. It was quite a humorous to see a small girl being held up by a tall dog demon. Klarabell was struggling her hardest as Ember kept growling, his puny voice was also quite amusing. The Master put the Mistress down and kneeled lower on one knee so that he was eye level. He asked some questions, which after much pursuasion were answered. We found out, that day your parents had died in a burning building and that you ran away from your foster family. The Dog Lord thought about adopting the child, but he did consider her spark and fighting attitude."

"He thought her scent was wierd, so he asked the girl if he could give her a small cut to get at her blood. After much waiting, the Mistress shrugged and let him take a blood sample. This was the surprising part though. She was not only part dog demon, but also ocelot-puma youkai. Her blood was also hotter than most demons. This also puzzled the Master. But beside that, he knew that the little girl would fight the younger Sesshoumaru for power over the western lands. Instead of adopting her, he told her that she was to either become a mate or fighting companion to the Dog Lord or the Dog Lord's son. After a couple of months the Mistress grew rapidly for some reason and she also grew greatly attached to the Master. In 3 years she had grown to a little below 15. We were horrified, but it seemed that she also had the mind of a 15-year old too. While she was staying with the Master and I, she learned the fighting style of the Master, and she perfected each one. Then you, Master InuYasha were born."

I looked at InuYasha wide-eyed. He stared back at me along with his other 4 companions. Myouga smiled inwardly, glad he could reintroduce the Master and the Mistress. The flea sighed, ready to start talking again.

"Master InuTaisho loved InuYasha's mother and InuYasha very much. And he was sorry he couldn't be there with his son more often. When he told Master Sesshoumaru about it, the first born grew angry with his father, saying it was a foolish mistake to fall in love with a human woman. InuTaisho paid him no mind though. He sent Mistress Klarabell to watch over his mate and second son though. He wasn't worried, but just in case he wanted her to protect them. She told me about all the horrible things the villagers said and did to the younger master, but she was on strict orders not to associate with them. The Mistress had grown into a lovely young woman around the age of 17, but time stopped for her. Master Sesshoumaru grew colder and more farther apart from anyone. This not only hurt the Master InuTaisho, but also Mistress Klarabell."

"One day a reported dragon had been seen in the northern part of the lands. As always the Master ordered Klarabell to guard InuYasha and his mother, while I went with the Master to go observe the disturbance. Ember had been sent into hiding ever since we first met him, so we knew it couldn't have been him. I am sure almost everyone knows what happened next." Myouga closed his eyes and looked down, his head hanging as he struggled to continue on. "The battle went on for days and the closet person was the Mistress. I went as fast as I could to get her. I took half a day to reach the village where she took watch over. She came immediately after I told her what was wrong. After she gathered up what she needed with Ember, we took off again. It was nightfall when we reached the battle scene. It was awful. I took for cover while I watched the larger dragon walk towards Mistress Klarabell. Surprisingly though, it started to sniff her, then growl hungrily. After that seen, I realized that the Mistress was also part Higher Dragon. Master InuTaisho took this as an advantage and lunged forward toward the enemy. The filthy scum got its claws deep into the Master's back almost killing him instantly, but not before the Master pinned him to the cliff with a claw. He then dropped helplessly and the Mistress Klarabell and I ran to help him. That was when he told me to make the 2 swords and who to take them to. Right after sadly, he died..."

"The Mistress was heartbroken, and in her distress she climbed on Ember's back and urged him to fly to the sun. In a flash of light, a portal appeared. The Mistress nor I knew where it went, and foolishly the Mistress went in, and never returned. From there you know the rest." Myouga coughed and sat down, exhausted.

I blinked a couple of times, having brief flashbacks of everything that happened in my past. I looked at Myouga and smiled inwardly. "I went to eternity Myouga, to eternity." I stated gently.

The monk stared at me for a few moments. All of them were trying to figure out what I had said. I chuckled lightly, knowing that they could never guess, not in a million years. The first one to speak was the InuYasha guy though.

"What the hell is eternity?" He said harshly. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I fell back against Ember, laughing happily as the half-demon grew angrier each second I stalled in telling him.

After I had gained control of my giggles, I clearly stated "Eternity is a place where your body stays the same...it is almost as if your physical being never changes, but your mental age never stops growing. There is also a special lake where you can tell what is going on, but I never went to it though."

Myouga looked at me sincerely, coughing once more before asking another question. "Just how did you manage to get out?"

My eyes cast downward, I didn't really want to explain anything, but Ember stuck his face infront of mine and exhaled slowly, sending calming images to me. I relaxed and I began to pour out my long kept secret. "To get out of eternity, someone dear to your heart must die...in my case it was Sesshoumaru's mother. He didn't know her that well, but I had known her for a very long time, she was like my mother, and my heart still mourns from her death."

InuYasha looked at me, his eyes softening for a moment before asking his question, "how did you know she died?"

I shrugged and put on a fake smile, "it was the first time I every went to that dreaded lake, and when I did, I came back to Earth...," I paused and blinked, almost knowing what they thought I sighed quietly, "50 years later that is."

Myouga and the young fox demon swarmed around me asking how long ago I came back and why hadn't they noticed me sooner. I calmly explained that I had returned 3 weeks ago, and that they probably hadn't seen me as I had been moving non-stop, still trying to get my bearings straight. They both accepted my explanation and wandered back to where the other group sat.

I couldn't help it any longer, I turned to Myouga and picked him up again. "How is Sesshoumaru doing?" I asked sincerely. Before I left he cared for no one, although I knew that he never used to be like that.

InuYasha's dog ears twitched in annoyance, "why do you want to know about that bastard?"

I growled at him, "I didn't ask you! And he is not a bastard half-breed! You don't know him...like I do." my voice faded out on the last part. Inuyasha glared at me and crossed his arms, but I ignored him.

"He still cares for no one, and he is constantly trying to kill his younger brother" Myouge said, referring to the hanyou as the younger brother. I nodded, some names were clear from this group, but I was still a little confused on who each person was.

"This would be a good time to do introductions," I mentioned in the silence. "As you already know, I'm Klarabell, call me Kara though, and my greatest friend here is Ember."

The black-haired girl noded, and I could tell she would be introducing her group. "Hi, I'm Kagome! I am a human miko. The monk is Miroku, the demon slayer is Sango, this fox demon kit is Shippou, and Sango's demon cat is Kilala (Kirara . Whatever). Then of course there is InuYasha and Myouga."

I nodded again, recording all that information quickly. 'Miko huh? Interesting enough.' Stretching out, I yawned and stood. "Well Myouga, it has been nice to see all of you, but I am going to take my leave now."

InuYasha looked at me in shock and I could almost tell what he was thinking, so I hurriedly made an excuse, "it is just I really don't seem to be needed here, nor fit in, so I am just goint to continue my wandering."

"Nonsense, we would be honored to have such a great fighter such as yourself on our side." Miroku said with an innocent smile as he stood next to me. I was right about to retort back at him, but I noticed a slight pressure on my backside. At this I crossed my arms, glaring at him while I snorted.

"I would love to stay and join you, but..." my voice filled with anger rapidly, " I refuse if you continue to invade my privacy. And for this act, you must be punished." I smirked at him as his eyes widened. Using my elbow, I hit him in the chest, then turned swiftly and kicked him hard in a man's sensitive region. "Oops...I didn't mean to hit you that hard, but I think you may be able to walk painlessly again in a day or two." I was sure I was wearing a huge grin on my face, but, I forced myself to give the houshi the same innocent smile that he gave me earlier. He just rolled on the ground and whined, which was pretty much the reaction I was hoping to get.

Sango giggled with delight at the monk's pain, while Kagome shook her head sadly. The wind picked up, carrying the strong scent of demon. Glancing to the side, I saw that InuYasha had noticed the stentch too.

"What's wrong InuYasha?" Shippou asked. Kagome looked in a confused fashion to the dog hanyou.

"Naraku!" InuYasha spat out, venom coating his voice. I tilted my head to the side, wondering who Naraku was. The wind picked up again, and I started to hear a small buzzing noise. Just as I looked up, I felt something slam me into a nearby tree. My breath was forced out of my lungs and the pressure on my chest increased. I could hear Ember growling loudly, InuYasha's companions getting ready to fight, and the slight creek of wood as the tree behind me started to break.

"So we finally meet..." a dark voice stated. The gloomy figure loomed in front of mine. The tree beneath me finally snapped, giving up its fight to live. Shouting...I think it was for me...a low growl...my vision blurring...my body was being lifted up, then blackness englufed me.
--------------------------------

. yeah, I know it sucked. But whatever . I tried. It is a really crappy introducting chapter, but I swear it will get better later on ; hopefully. Please review, flames are welcomed, and I know about the mistakes about stuffers, so please don't review with something like 'You made many grammatical mistakes!' I get enough of that from my English teacher. But whatever, I am not saying that you can't, do what you please, it is not my problem at this point.

Hanyou- half-demon

Houshi- Monk

Taijiya- Demon slayer

Youkai- Demon

Ningen- Human

Neko- Cat

Kawaii- Cute

Just in case you didn't know those, that is why I put them up...sorry if they annoyed you. And remember...REVIEW because I am a poor pathetic writer with nothing else to look forward to in life! Plus...this is a 9 page chapter that was hard to write, so yeah!
