intro: it's been 10 years after the Inuyasha group beaten Naraku, until now they had lived a fairly peaceful life. After their jobs Kagome and Inuyasha decided to take a walk in the forest that is named after Inuyasha himself, considering he was sealed there 64 years ago. Kagome was the one to lift the seal after 50 years, and a lot has happened then. But with the new encounters that cross their path, how will that peace last? read to find out more

Chapter one
Dawn of new demons

It was getting late, close to night time, the sky turned slightly red purple where the sun is going down. Kagome and Inuyasha headed out to the forest, it was close to fall so the leafs were pretty orange and red. The wind was chill but gentle as it blew through the trees, the ground was slightly covered with golden red leafs. As they paused near the tree that Inuyasha used to be sealed looking a little nostalgic, they hear a slight kitten mewing it was ever so soft and weak. Kagome went to look around as Inuyasha used his nose to sniff out where the sounds came from, as they found the direction where the kitten was calling from and stepped a few steps forward. There were two shadow like wolfs jumping past them, the eerie sound of whistling winds passing along with them.

As they get nearer to the group they are able to see the kitten wounded, Kagome being the miko she is started to slowly walk to the kitten out of concern when two wolfs jumped in front of her. The kitten started to grow bigger but lost her demonic form as she changed, there behind the wolfs laid a young woman with beautiful long hazel brown hair with silky red strands in between the brown. Her eyes black and gold with specks of silver that were supposed to be shining like marbles are now dimmed by sorrow and pain. Trying to get on her feet she slips down and tries to casually sit with her feet tucked under her, looking up and around her confused and scared reaching out for one of the wolfs as she realised she still had that sword in her hand.

She would stand up using the sword as a cane and came to realise it was not just her and the wolfs, moving her feet stumbling while trying to get away from the scene. While the young woman nearly fell to the ground Inuyasha jumped over with het of the wolfs backs (basically used them as door mats) and managed to catch her, the action was not taken into a matter of appreciation by the wolfs.

Kagome would talk to them in a sense with extreme caution in her voice '' please we only want to help her, she looks injured and could use the help'' The wolfs looked with caution themselves as they let Kagome pass through, but kept a stern eye on the Half demon that's holding their companion. Inuyasha who slowly set the girl down on the tree lump while Kagome started to get closer, she noticed the shadow wolfs were watching over them and Inuyasha turned his head to meet the fierce eyes of the two.

The bigger wolf looked at him with a low growl as he said in a human voice'' Hurt her more and your mine" his red eyes glowed as red as fresh dripping blood, the aura around him became darker than any shadow surrounding them. Baring little of his teeth almost as if he was ready to become vicious at any time, on his nose where wrinkles forming.

Inuyasha moved aside as Kagome started to wrap bandage around the wound of the woman as she started to introduce herself in a sweet voice " I'm Kagome, I'm the miko of a nearby village. If you don't know what a miko is then I'll explain it later if you want to hear about it, and this ... this person is Inuyasha. Inuyasha is a half demon, but ..."she started to whisper in the young woman's ear "he isn't as terrible as he makes himself look, he's rather nice and caring" The both of them started to giggle a little, while the boys looked rather puzzled.

The young woman looked at Kagome with her beautiful gold, silver specked eyes as she said "Thank you for tending to me, but unlike your companion I'm a real demon it will just take some time considering this was done by a other demon." With her eyes she followed the movements of her companion's and smiled as softly as she could.

After giggling almost quietly and looking at her companion's, she started to focus on Kagome and she said with a gentle smile " I am Angeline but Angie will do, as you seen I'm a tiger demon. but taking my adult form for too long kind of drains me a lot, so I rather stay in kitten form. As it also comes in handy with hiding" Angie giggles once more while pointing to the wolfs that arrived standing aside her and said in a happy voice as she pointed to the smaller shadow wolf "this is my brother Dom, he's the oldest of us. But don't let his size fool you, he is strong and this is just his normal form" she then pointed to her other side, where a bigger shadow wolf was standing "This is my brother Neo , he's older than me but younger than Dom. But unlike Dom and me he doesn't want to lower his size to much"

Kagome and Inuyasha looked puzzled at each other at what she had told them, as Inuyasha finally is about to speak a giant white dog came to the scene and landed on top of him thus forcing Inuyasha face down to the ground. The big white dog looked at the wolfs and the woman between them with his head tilted as he spoke with his usual cold voice "so this is where the smell of blood came from''. Once Sesshomaru sniffed out he was standing on his little brother, he moved out of the way after using him to wipe his paws and sniffed the air around them.

The two wolfs Neo and Dom jumped in front of the young woman in order to protect her from the unknown dog, Dom started to grow in size to which Sesshomaru couldn't compare. Sesshomaru took notice of the bigger wolf as he shrunk down to his humanoid form and stepped near the young girl. Secretly smirking as she reeked like the demon lord from the north, he spoke to her with his cold but yet a slight interest in his voice'' Woman... where did you pick up that foul stench?''

Angie moves silently creeping closer to the dog demon she replied "you like it? well you can have it if you wish'' her eyes became darker while she grinned, her voice became equally as cold as that of his own. Sesshomaru for once in his life was forced to step back while she continued to talk to him in her cold and distance voice "The demon lord had stolen this sword, the daikatsu, our family treasure.. Well my family treasure, considering it has been passed down the tiger demon generation after generation. My brothers helped me getting it back but I didn't wait, I became impatient and ran to the culprit. I got the sword back but at the costs of a lot of my pretty clean skin, so you see. That's why I got this foul stench on me" after she was finished Angie took a step back and started to giggle, while thinking to herself "nothing better than to tease a dog".

Sesshomaru was left standing there slightly shocked that someone had dared to talk to him the great demon lord of the west, feared by to many. A mere tiger demon woman had talked back to him in a matter of his speaking, with his demeanour. It was only but a split second as Sesshomaru regained his posture, he looked at the demon woman without a word to spare.

Angie went leaning on her brother Neo who still was in his wolf form while petting his head softly, as her other brother Dom went to stand beside her as well. Kagome who was still in a slight case of shock looked at Inuyasha who was rather smirking from ear to ear that someone gave his big brother a piece of his own cookie, as he said in a more curious voice "so basically you waged war against the demon lord of the north? how interesting." in a reply she would only nod and smile. Kagome suggested they come to the village where they live in and offered them a hut to stay in for the night or until Angie is more stable. The group slowly made their way into village, as Sesshomaru was greeted by the ever so happy Rin.
