Feleena: Thank you for reading to the opening to Darkeness be my friend. I hope that you enjoy reading the story and you'll be wanting to read more.

Tears came down her face,

She ran into the darkness of the forest looking for comfort from an old friend

Tree branches were scraping her skin and voices in the background were becoming less

Knowing not to stop or to look back for he might be there,

Knowing that he would come after her,

How could he betray her like that,

Why?

4 years later

Light blue eyes snapped open from her sleep; she slowly sat up in her sleeping bag making sure not to wake shippou who sleep beside her. She remembers the dream, but once this happened to her many years ago. She promised to herself that it she would never let anyone hurt her again.

She sat up as her eyes became acquaint with the dim fire and the darkness that surround her. Starring at her friends as they all slept. They were a second family and yet they had all sheared there pain in voices and some in silence.

She stared at her friend Sango who sleep quietly. They were both like sister, but she had her visibly and invisible wounds. She did not know how Sango could go on, losing her family and having her brother that she loved very much on the enemy side; you could say it was hope, love, and us.

A small whimper came from Shippou. She turned her attention to Shippou, tucked a strand of hair behind his ear, and placed a kiss on his cheek. The nightmares were so often now. A couple years back they were so horrible that Shippou couldn't tell the different from his dreams or reality.

Shippou once told her that he could see his parents dying before him repeatedly and sometimes he could see the shadows of the killers faces.She looked at him with sadness in her eyes no child should go throw that ever. She whispered to him

"I promise I will always be here to protect you from these nightmares and the monsters... I promise."

"Oh Sango well you bear my children... you will... oh I love you!"

seeing Mirkou was having good dream tonight, she smiled to herself. He was like this way with any pretty women that walked by him.

Who could blame him, his family was stuck with a cursed that would kill him one day until Naraku is dead. Sighing to herself as she bends her knees up to her chest and resting her head on her knees. Thinking to her that time does fly buy and she remember when she was pull into the well and meet Inuyasha and then everyone else.



The half inu demon sat on a tree branch as he slept. She watched his ears twitched back and forth hearing the deep sound in the forest. She thought about all the up and down they been together how she loved him at one point, but now it was like a brotherly love knowing that she could never replace his first love ...kikyou.

Those were hard times, back then when Inuyasha would go off into the night and think that no one ever sees him, but they all did and yet one said anything or did anything from stopping him all those nights.

Everyone one though that Inuyasha was her first love and that it's going to hurt the worst, but he was never was never her first love, knowing that nothing could hurt like what he did to me taking another life that I would love, She would be Inuyasha friend and always trusting him... well maybe not all the time.

She took a deep breath, inhaling the summer air into her lungs. Starring up into the night sky to see all the stars twinkle in the sky. Missing the home where she grew up. When she first arrived on earth, it was so different from everything from her home. Imperial kingdom was where she was from. She was one of the seven protectors, but when her kingdom betrayed her, she had to leave and never come back.

When she was at home, she was respected for being noble blood and for being the only one the seven knights. When she walked the streets she could feel the lustful eyes of every man looking at her and she could hear the woman talking about her saying they wished they could be her.

If she really wanted to, she could have any man at her beck call. However, her heart only desired one man. She did have him once, but when he betrayed her, she could not take the pain. Therefore, she left one night, hoping that no one would find her.

She wished that she could tell all of them the truth about her. Nevertheless, she was to frighten to say anything.

A little light rose from behind the western hill. Inuyasha he rose up from the tree when he felt the sun warmth, looking down he saw Kagome stirring something in the kettle, he slowly stretched and jumped from the tree as he walked over toward her.

"Hey there, what are you cooking?''

''What... oh... Hi Inuyasha... umm... well oatmeal all we have left."

She turned attention back to the oatmeal that she was cooking. Rising to the smell of oatmeal Sango she stretched every muscle in her body, feeling a monk hand moving down and up her back

"Pervert"

Sango slapped Mirkou up beside his head.

"I'm sorry darling Sango, it is my cruised hand it does what it wants"

He pleaded with Sango as he stood on both of his knees gentle rubbing both of her hands, trying to make the most of his charming smile. He felt the sting of his lover hand across his face.

"Will maybe I should cut your hand so you won't be cruised anymore."

She walked away from the frighten monk, later when everyone eat there breakfast and they pack up to leave the southern lands to western lands as they walked Inuyasha would tease Shippou and Mirkou would always ask Sango stupid question. Final Kagome and Sango snapped.

"Inuyash sit"

After saying sit more than two hundred times and after Sango rearrange Mirkou jaw they both wouldn't be eating anything the girls make. They all continue their journey, as the girls were in the front as for the guys they were far as possible. Five day have passed since the last demon, there was no lead on the jewel shard or Naraku.

"Oh my gosh, my feet never hurt this bad."

"Oh, I know." Sango said as she agreed with kagome. Coming upon a riverbed both of them ran toward it throwing off their shoes dipping their feet into the cool water.

"We should start searching again." The two of them turned their heads towards Inuyasha.

"What! Why, we just got here."

"But we just got here and are feet really hurt!"Sango yelling at him

"Inuyasha it make no since why we should leave since were near a river and this is a great camping spot."

"Fine, we'll camp here tonight."

Signing heavily as he walked away from the rest of the group. The next morning was like every normal morning. Later that evening they all walked toward the village that they past by yesterday, on the way kagome pulled out her I pod ask she felt something coming from ahead of them.

"Hey guys... do you feel that?"

Everyone stop and felt it Shippou look up to the sky and it change from blue to fire engine red. Inuyasha moved in front of Kagome telling her to get ready as the red wind came from the ground moving like a tornado.

It stop in front of them as a figure came out of the tornado and everything stopped. There before them stood a demon that was handsome both Sango and Kagome gasped,

"Where is Sango?" the demon asked,

"What do you want to do with Sango?"

Mirkou asked taking a fighting stance before her.

"This is my business monk, not yours."

his voice made shivers goes down Mirkou back.

"Hello Ransho"

Sango as she toke a step behind from Mirkou.

Feleena: well that the end of that first chapie. smiling proudly

Mirkou: who is Ransho? And what does he have to do with my darling woman?? WHAT
