Chapter One
Under the Moon
The stars shine cold and bright over the forest. Songo sleeps with Kirara curled in her arms, Miroku as close as he'll probably ever get without being hit. Kagome and Shippo lay curled in a sleeping bag beneath the tree where Inuyasha stands guard. Everything has been quit for days, not quite as good as it sounds. This also means they haven't found anymore jewel shards.
Inuyasha's ears twitch as he catches an odd noise in the trees surrounding the clearing. He leaps lightly to the ground and wakes Miroku.
"Stay here and watch the girls," Inuyasha whispers, "I heard something creepin' 'round in the woods."
Miroku nods and Inuyhasha slips off into the trees, clawed hand resting on the hilt of Tetsusaiga. He sniffs the air as he weaves between the trees; demon. How could it get so close without him or Miroku sensing it?
++++++++++++
Suddenly he stops and looks into the branches above him. Crouched on a limb is the demon, wings folded tight against its back. Violet eyes glow softly, giving its pale face an eerie cast. It jumps from the the limb to stand in front of Inuyasha.
Do not draw the sword. He heard it plain as day; he had to obey the voice. His hand slipped from Tetsusaiga.
"Good," says the demon, "I mean you no harm for the moment."
"For the moment," Inuyasha asks, trying to draw Tetsusaiga, "What about later?"
"That may be another matter. For now, I have a problem that forces me to call upon another demon, but a Halfling like you will have to do."
Inuyasha growls at the insult, "Why the Hell should I help you?"
"Because you and your friends will benefit from this task. Where you must go, there are three shards of the Shikon Jewel."
Hey, how did you know we're looking for the Jewel?"
"I know much, Inuyasha. I know of your friends. Miroku, the cursed monk. Songo, the demon exterminator. Shippo, the orphaned kitsune. And Kagome, your love from the future."
"Love? Feh! She's human, I'm a demon: what use could I have for her?"
"She is Kikiyo reborn. You remember your love for her. You even planned to become human."
"Yeah, 'til she turned on me. Besides, that was a long time ago. Let's just get back to the fire so the others can here this thing you want us to do." Inuyasha says, deeply troubled by all this strange demon knows.
"Very well." The demon says, taking to the air. Hurriedly, Inuyasha follows, staying near the treetops.
