Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-yasha.


Inu-yasha,Kagome,and Shippo were walking in the woods so they could get to another village.

Kagome: Inu-yasha, Shippo and I are tired.Can we rest?

Inu-yasha rolled his eyes.They were almost there,he thought,and they wanted to stop.Still, they weren't as strong as he was, so they probally needed to rest

Inu-yasha: Yeah, yeah,I guess. Ya'know Kagome...

He stopped.He sniffed the air.Something smelled familar.

Inu-yasha: Kauome! Shippo!GET DOWN!

Kagome: Inu-yasha,what...

Shippo: Kagome,come on.Get down. You know as well as I do Inu-yasha smelles something!

Kagome: Yeah,you're right.

Inu-yasha: Come out! I know you're there,whatever you are!

Suddenly,There was a growl.

Female voice: Another dog demon! Hah! Get away from my village or I'll tear you to peices!

Kegome:(to Shippo) Oh no. a dog demon! I hope It isn't as strong as Inu-yasha!

Female voice: So dog demon,you have a human with you.

Inu-yasha: Yeah,so what?Come out and show yourself,you coward!

Female voice: As you wish.

There wasa noise coming from a bush nearby.Then,a girl with purple hair came out af the bushes.

Inu-yasha: Woah.

The girl looked at Inu-yasha,sniffed the air, pricked up her purple fured dog ears,then gasped.

Girl dog demon: Oh no. It's Inu-yasha!

Dropping to her knees she lowered her head.

Girl dog demon: Please forgive me,mighty Inu-yasha.I did not know it was you.

Kegome,Shippo, and Inu-yasha exchanged suprised glances.

Inu-yasha: Who are you and how do you know my name?

The girl bowed

Girl dog demon: You are a legend in my village,Oh mighty one.As for my name, I am Mirtra, princess of my village,Arotut.Please,mighty Inu-yasha, come to my village. I bet you, your human,and the kitsune are tired.

She turned.Then, she howled.Quickly, two girls broke through the bushes.

Girl one: You called,Princess?

Girl two:Have you found Prince Mortro?

Mirtra:No,I have not found him, but I did find Lord Inu-yasha.

Both Girls: Lord Inu-yasha?Where?

Inu-yasha: A-hem! Right here, I guess.

Both girls bowed.

Mirtra:Please Lord Inu-yasha, Bring yourhuman princess and kitsune prince, and follow us.

Shippo: but we're not...

Kagome: shh, Shippo.

The trio followed the girls to a very large village.

Mirtra:Welcome to Arotut Village,Lord Inu-yasha.
