It was a calm cool evening in the forest clearing as the gang sat around a fire, Sango, shippo and kilala where chilling around the fire while miroku and kagome talked, Inuyasha sat on top of a tree branch on a tree that was a distance from the group, with his eyes closed as he thought about things, more specifically his last encounter with his older brother.

Flashback

Inuyasha was walking alone, enjoying the late evening when a familiar scent came to his attention, not wanting any confrontation with him, he turned around and tried to leave only to see the person that he was trying to avoid right behind him.

"I knew i smelt something rotten, but that is even too good a smell for the likes of you, half-breed" the cool yet sinister voice of his older sibling said to him.

"Well forgive me if my scent offends you but i think you face has caused me enough trauma to last the longest lifetime" Inuyasha said with a smirk.

"It would do you well to leave my presence, you pathetic being" his elder brother said as he looked at him with a gaze that would make the strongest being tremble in fear "you're an insult to my sight" he said to him, causing Inuyasha to snarl at the remark.

"Last time i checked we are nearer to the eastern lands that we are to yours, so you have no right to tell me what to do" he said but then he could have sworn that his sinister sibling eyes widened at that statement.

Sesshomaru turned around to leave but not before he said to him "you will be wise not to tread on those lands half breed" he said as he as he flew away leaving Inuyasha to his thoughts.

"Why does he care about whether I go to the eastern lands or not" he said to himself, but then a call brought him out of his thoughts.

"What is it" he said looking down from his branch.

"Dinners ready, everyone's waiting for y..." kagome started

"I'm not hungry" he said causing her to stop mid sentence.

"What did you say?"

"I said I'm not hungry so leave me alone"

"inuyasha, if you don't eat now, you'll be hungry later"

"and who are you to tell me that, my mother?"

"im sure no one would want a son that doesn't listen like you"

she said as he turned away from her causing her to huff at him, god why did he had to be soo rude sometimes, she was giving up a lot to be there but he didn't seem to under stand that but before he could say anything back, a loud cry for help rang from within the forest, which caused him to run towards it.

the poor woman could only run from the huge ogre that was hot on her tail, trust her to fall for it sinister trick which had brought her out into the open forest.

"someone pleases help" she thought as she continued to run from the beast but as fate would have it, she tripped over a tree's root and before she could get up, the beast had grabbed her.

"no!" she cried as she tried to escaped but to no avail "let me go" she cried as it brought her nearer to its mouth causing her scream, she couldn't die, she was still young and had her whole life ahead of her.

"hands off" was all she heard before, the hand that held her was severed from its body, causing the ogre to cry out in pain as it ran back into the deep forest.

inuyasha turned towards her as he cut the large hand off of her and helped her to her feet.

"are you alright" he asked her.

"yes I'm alright, thanks to you" she said causing him to slightly blush, the woman was nothing less than beautiful; she had long curly reddish-brown hair that was pinned back on the right side as it ran down the left and her back, her face was nothing short of beautiful, perfect brows lead to big brown eyes with thick long eyelashes, a cute nose and lovely cheeks, which lead to a pair of two-tone plumb lips, the top dark with the lower one pink, both were drawn into a beautiful and grateful smile. Her skin was a lovely shade of brown as shown by the moonlight, not to mention her curvy and voluptuous body was not hidden by the simple black dress she wore.

"well I better get back home, thank you once again" she said to him with a smile as she began to walk away, unaware that he was following her, he didn't know why but he felt the need to.

upon arrival to the village, she was greeted by a group of men.

"oh good evening gentlemen, is everything alright" she asked them.

"no everything is not alright, ever since you arrived here, demons have attacked our village and it is all your fault.

"what?" she said, taken back by their hostile behavior towards her.

" so as from now on, you are no longer welcome here, you witch" the leaders said as they turned and went back to the village.

the poor woman fell to her knees as tears rolled down her face as she bowed her head, till she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"geez, inuyasha has been gone for a while" kagome said as she sat by the fire, kilala and shippo where already asleep, but kagome, sango and miroku where waiting for inuyasha.

"don't worry kagome, im sure he is alright" sango said to her friend, trying to reassure her.

but before anyone could say, inuyasha appeared out of the trees, carrying a bag on his back and a beautiful woman in his arms.

"hey guys" he said as he placed her on the ground "guys this is asana" he said as he introduce her "asana, these are sango, miroku and kagome" he said to her.

"it is a pleasure to meet you all" she said with a smile.

"the pleasure is all ours my lady, but I do have a question for you"miroku said taking her hand "will you bear my children" he asked but his reply was sango knocking him out cold.

"sorry about him" inuyasha said to her causing her to giggle as she said it was no worry, unaware that she was being watched by an eagle that flew away, to report its findings to its master.

after flying for a while, the bird flew into an beautiful palace that was nothing less fitting for a fine ruler, landing by a window, it flew onto the arm of a throne.

"ah my pet, you have returned early" a deep calm voice said as the eagle perched itself near his ear,as the eagle whispered into his ear, the cool calm aura of the king, soon changed into one that could rival the flames of hell themselves as he shoot up from his throne.

"how dare they take my kindness for granted" he roared, causing the walls to shake from the the sheer power of his voice "they will pay for this" he growled as his golden eyes looked in the direction of the village.

morning came quickly for the small group that had camped out in the wood, kagome woke up first, rubbing her eyes she noticed that inuyasha was gone from his spot and so was asana, so she got and went to look for them, taking her bow and arrow for protection.

after walking for a few minutes, she heard voices and the sound of rushing water, so hiding herself in the bushes she walked towards it, only to see inuyasha and asana sitting by the river, talking as asana did her hair. she didn't know whither she should be happy that inuyasha found it easier to talk to other people, or she should be mad that he was out there with another girl.

"he never smiles at me like that" she huffed as she continued to watch them talk, she could only wonder what they were talking about that would spark his interest like that or get his eyes to shine brightly as she talked to him.

"well if he wants to play that game, I can play as well" she said as she turned and began to walk back to the camp.
