A/N: Ok, yes, I know, odd title. But it was the best thing I could come up with and I'm also reading a series of unfortunate events, so yeah…anyways, I hope everyone enjoys this story!


"Inuyasha! Move!" My voice rang clear and loud across the battle field as I notched an arrow, my purification powers already sparking about. He looked back with a scowl before reluctantly moving aside. I let the arrow fly, blue, pink, and purple sparks burst about the field as the purple arrow shot forward. The demon howled in pain as it was pierced in the heart. He was burned from the inside out and all that was left were two jewel shards and a pile of ashes. I sighed and walked over to the shards, putting my bow across my quiver. I bent over and grabbed the jewels, they immediately turned back to their original glowing pure pink color. I opened the jar and pulled out the half completed jewel and merging it with its other half. I put back in the jar and put a small barrier around it to keep demons from touching it and it made the chain and little jar unbreakable. I turned back to the group to assess the damage.

Sango had a broken arm and Miroku had a giant gash across his front. Shippo was thankfully undamaged, I would horrified if my little son was hurt. I walked over to Sango, who had walked over to Miroku's side, and healed her arm. I then moved to Miroku, glare firmly in place to make sure he wouldn't touch my ass, and healed his wound. It took a lot of energy and left me winded, but I didn't let that show. I was never going to be weak in front of these people again.

"Wench, heal me now." I stiffened at his voice and slowly turned around. I kept my head down and my bangs covered my face. It was too much, something snapped. I had followed him and been loyal for two years of my life. I had loved him and been hurt. I had watched him sneak out of camp and confess his love to a walking clay pot, Kikyo. She wasn't even real, she only had the looks of her and all of her hates, and he still loved her. My heart broke as I watched them mate, to terrified and heart broken to move. That was a year ago and my hate for him had grown each day.

"I'm not going to heal you. You are a bastard and I am leaving. I will still be allied with this pack, but not for you, for the sake of ridding this world of a half-breed worse than you." My voice was eerily calm and quite. I walked away, grabbing my bow and arrows, and lead the way down the road. Shippo sat in my arms, a happy grin on his face. I smiled and kissed his forehead. We walked for three days, I made sure to cover our tracks, scents, and auras so that they couldn't follow us. We walked fast and long, making sure to put as much distance as possible between us. We woke before the sun rose and well after it set. We were tired when we finally found our new home.

It was at the edge of the dense forest by a cliff. It was far from any village and I doubted any one would think to look for us out here. There were a couple of trees with space between them. They sat by a creek, it came in at an angle, a wider opening by us to finally run of the cliff around the trees, there was a little drop off before the water. The water flowed over smooth grey rocks with small bits of moss growing on them. The water slightly bubbled and made a peaceful sound. The area between the trees was big enough for a fire and us to sleep around it and still be safe. The place was perfectly covered and one of the trees was perfect for leaning against and I noticed there was enough room for more guests. It was perfect. I smiled and looked down to Shippo.

"Shippo, what do you think of this place?"

"I like it, it's peaceful and secluded, no one would ever come here." I smiled at him, I was glad he liked it. It made it so much easier.

"Good, because this will be our new home. I'm happy you like it. Now, would you mind finding some fire wood? I'm too tired to start building." he nodded and bounced off. He had grown. He now reached my shoulder, apparently demons grow quickly and then stop growing all together. His red hair reached half way down his back and he now wore black hakamas and a white kimono. He wore a black haori that was decorated with white swirls. He wore black dragon hide boots. His green eyes always seemed to dance about in joy. I smiled and turned to the little piece of happiness. I pulled my bag off my back and pulled out the sleeping bags. I put Shippo's closer to the forest, near the creek. I put mine near the cliff, but not to close. I left a pretty big area between the bags, but the bags made two side of a triangle as the heads were nearly touching, I put them the same direction as the cliff edge and creek. On the open area I began digging a hole. I dug it down three feet and each side was three feet wide. I coated the sides and bottom in my miko powers so that I could adjust the temperatures.

I pulled out all the food from my bag and organized it by how cold the things needed to be kept in. I put the things that needed freezer like temperatures farthest away from the fire area. I put the food that needed fridge like temperatures in the middle and then room temperature food was closest to the fire area. I adjusted the temperature accordingly. I looked back in my bag to see what I had left. Just some clothes for both me and Shippo and some bathing supplies. I looked down to my modern day clothing, it was time I made a change from my school uniform. I looked over my shoulder to a twig snapping. It was Shippo and his arms were overflowing with wood. I smiled and walked over to help him.

We stacked them up beside the tree that was perfect for leaning against, the one closest to my sleeping bag. I looked up to the sky, it was a little past noon, the perfect time to eat. I decided against using the fire, it was a little to warm to do that just yet. I walked over to the hole which now served as food storage and pulled out stuff to make sandwiches.

"What kind of sandwich would you like Shippo?" I looked to him as he sat in thought before smiling with his decision made. He turned to me, his eyes dancing.

"I would like a turkey sandwich with cheese okaa-san." I smiled and nodded. I put a little mayonnaise and mustard on the wheat bread and put a couple layers of turkey on it and a slice of cheese on top of it. I put the other slice of bread over it and handed it to him. I made myself a similar sandwich and we ate together in silence. It was when we were nearly done that I realized we hadn't even looked over the edge of the grass covered cliff. I decided to look.

I stood and walked over, the sight took my breath away. It was giant, the drop off had to be at least a few hundred feet. Its nooks and crannies were lit up by the sun that was slowly beginning to make its setting beyond the horizon. There was moss growing on the rocks, the cliff side was green. Below was a forest, I looked on as far as I could see and could make out the rise and fall through the different shades of green. I looked to my right to the waterfall that came from the little creek. It was narrow at the top and widened to become a spray in the lake feeding off a larger fall. The cliff curved inwards and, I'm assuming the main part the little creek by my side split off from, spilled over its edge. It was large and consumed a great part of the area. It pounded into the lake below, a small rainbow created from the spraying water. Small waterfalls like the one beside me decorated the area around the big one. The cliff edge curved outwards a little before abruptly ending. I looked down to the lake below and saw a river winding its way away from the lake. I followed its snaking path through the woods before the trees below covered its route. I smiled at the breathtakingly beautiful scene below me. I glanced to my left as Shippo settled down beside me.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Mm, it is." We continued sitting in silence, merely looking about. When the sun finally set and made it look as if the forest below us was on fire, we decided to crawl into bed. I stripped off my uniform and put on a large t-shirt that reached mid thigh. I looked behind me at the rising moon and set up a barrier around our camp. I closed my eyes and followed Shippo into sleep.
