Chapter One: Back Again

Kagome Higurashi climbed out of the bone eaters well. She had been gone for about a week. The air was fresh, and the sun was shining brightly. No one seemed to be around waiting for her, so she decided to just walk over to the village to say "Hi" to Kaede.

As She walked along the narrow path leading to the village, Kagome heard a rustling in the trees. She stopped, and looked up at the tall, thick beautiful Ginko trees, which now looked darker, and more threatening than before. Kagome shivered. The sky was still blue as heck, and the sun was still shining brightly, but there was an eerie silence growing in the forest.

"Kagome?" The voice made her jump, and she dropped her overly large bag.

It was Inuyasha's voice. Kagome sighed in relief.

"You ok?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah, why?" Kagome tried to keep her voice at a mellow tone.

"You look spooked. Something out there?"

Kagome shook her head. She didn't feel like telling Inuyasha about the eerie silence. They walked back to the village, Kagome telling Inuyasha what she got him from the future. Chocolate, Ramon, candy, what else?

When they arrived at the village, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara were waiting. Shippo sprang up, and into Kagome's arms. They hugged for a moment, then Kagome put Shippo on the ground, and dug in her bag for a chocolate bar.

"It's nice to see you again, Kagome!" Sango said. The two friends embraced each other.

Miroku walked up and gave Kagome a hug too. Kagome was surprised that he had done that. Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest and said,

"Well, if you're all done having a softy moment, lets go."

Kagome rolled her eyes and smiled at Inuyasha. He always seemed to be touchy when it came to emotions. She walked over to Inuyasha, and hugged him. She could feel Inuyasha tensing up. She let go.

"There. Does that make you feel better?" Kagome said in a teasing way. Inuyasha snorted and crossed his arms over his chest again.

The group walked over to Kaede's hut. She was inside, tending to the fire that was in the dead-center of the hut.

"Ah, Kagome, I see you have returned." Kaede's features looked slightly older. This startled Kagome a little.

"Uhh yeah, I am glad to see-"Kagome's statement was cut off when one of the villagers ran into the hut. It looked like he was out of breath. Inuyasha could smell the fear in him, and he raised his hand and clasped it around Tetsusaia's handle.

"Yiko, what is it?" Kaede's voice was full of alarm.

"lady Kaede, there is a demon here who wants to see you," he looked up at Inuyasha, "And you."

Inuyasha stiffened.

"Did the demon say his name?"

Yiko shook his head.

"No, he only said he wanted to see the priestess known as kaede, and his little brother, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha stiffened even more. This could only be one demon.

Sesshomaru.
