Hello everyone! How's it going? Alright, I know I should really stop posting new fanfics while I still have to finish some other ones, but don't worry because I don't really know where I'm going with this one yet. I only have a few scenes in my head, that's about it and I consider this just as a random fanfic right now. Well, even if that's just the case right now, I really hope that you'll all still enjoy this first chapter. :D

Not Likely

Ignorance Knows no Bounds

I ran through the forest on orders to attack Inuyasha. It was a thing that Naraku decided fit to attack him at least once or twice a month… maybe a few more. It was my job to see how much stronger Inuyasha had become over the time of him searching for Naraku's hiding place. That way Naraku had an idea on how many more demons he needed to absorb.

"I wonder why he just doesn't send a puppet in for this," I whispered to myself as I ran.

'Not that I'm complaining. Fighting Inuyasha is getting fun. He's so predictable sometimes that it's really funny.' I thought with a small laugh. The thing that was weird was that I wasn't an incarnation of Naraku. He had made me a promise that if I would be his servant then he would spare my family. I had agreed willingly and he didn't treat me like anything other than a servant. He treated me just as he treated Kagura and Kanna. 'I can smell him… Inuyasha and everyone are near here.' My black hoari was light as I ran and my pants gave me more room to move as a demon should. My long black hair was tied back into a ponytail and revealed my pointed ears.

"Why do you always have to show up for no reason?" Inuyasha's voice growled angrily, "What is it that you want this time?"

I froze, thinking that Inuyasha was talking to me, but he wasn't anywhere near me. 'What the hell is going on?'

"Why you insolent little whelp!" an annoying voice yelled with agitation, "You should show more respect to lord Sesshoumaru!"

'… Sesshoumaru? Who is that?' I wondered, silently coming closer to the little scene. The trees broke slightly and there was a small opening where Inuyasha stood with everyone behind him; all looking at someone in front of Inuyasha.

"Why should I respect him? After all the times he's tried to kill me and Kagome… Why should I give him respect when I'm the one who always sends him packing?!" Inuyasha growled hatefully towards this stranger.

I followed their gazes and saw a tall man - a demon - with long silver hair and markings on his face. His golden amber eyes were staring directly my way as I hid in the trees. 'Does he see me? Is that why he's staring like that?' I could feel a small chill creeping up my spine and it felt rather uncomfortable. His gaze was intense.

"You are blind Inuyasha," Sesshoumaru stated, not breaking his stare into the trees, "I have done more for you than that. But your ignorance knows no bounds, does it little brother?"

'Little brother? They're siblings? Then shouldn't they be working together instead of killing each other?'

"What… What did you just say?" Inuyasha growled hatefully, drawing his damned Tetsusaiga.

How he depended on that sword so much was beyond me. I'd have rather depended on my own strength than that of a sword.

Sesshoumaru looked away and his golden eyes nearly glared at Inuyasha.

"I've waited for the pleasure of killing you for too long Inuyasha," he growled, sending a green whip out of two fingers.

Inuyasha tried to dodge, but the whip grabbed Tetsusaiga and pulled it from his grip, sending it flying away from him. 'He's fast… not someone you'd want to mess with. I knew Inuyasha could be stupid, but not that stupid.' Shaking my head, I turned to leave.

"Who are you woman?" the annoying voice asked me from somewhere.

I looked around, seeing that I couldn't tell where he was until I looked down. 'That would have been the last place I expected to see someone…'

"Who are you stupid toad?"

"How dare you-"

"I'll take that," I stated, pulling the two headed staff out of his small hands before he could smack me over the head with it.

He was about to shout something, but I grabbed him by his head with a clawed hand and lifted him off the ground.

"Now, you'll shut up before I freeze that little brain that's inside your head," I threatened, tightening my grip on his skull.

"You can't use the power of ice," he said cockily, "It's a very rare trait to be found in the power of such a minor demon."

"Oh really," I mused, taking hold of a leaf that was attached to a twig.

Ice crystals started to form on it and his eyes widened slightly with fear. 'That's right, you better be afraid.' Before I could do anything, the woman on the staff started screaming.

"Damn it," I growled, chucking both it and the dumb toad back out onto the battle ground before running back towards Naraku's castle.

Sesshoumaru had Inuyasha pinned to a tree with a clawed hand with Kagome pointing an arrow at him.

"Shoot the arrow and you will die first woman," Sesshoumaru stated plainly before the sound of the woman on Jaken's staff screaming was heard.

The lord had stopped at the sound and looked towards the tree he had been looking at before. He wasn't the only one watching. Everyone was as the staff and Jaken were chucked out through the leaves.

"Stupid woman!" the toad shouted as he got to his feet and grabbed his wooden staff.

Sesshoumaru's golden eyes narrowed before he released Inuyasha's throat and started to walk away.

"Don't let Naraku kill you, little brother."

With those words, Jaken ran after him and they left Inuyasha and his group to wonder what had just happened.

I opened the door to Naraku's chamber and saw him staring out his dark window as he usually did. Then he looked at me with a smirk on his face.

"That was unusually quick for you, Shaiyu," he mused rather darkly.

"I didn't fight him."

"What?" he asked, his mood changing almost instantly.

His smirk had turned into a slight scowl. 'Always in a dark mood if success isn't perfect.' I thought, inwardly rolling my eyes.

"Someone else was there already and they seemed to be going at each other's throats by the looks of it," I explained, remembering the new silver haired demon.

Again, Naraku's mood seemed to change. Now it was amused at the words he was hearing.

"Do you know who it was?"

"I'm not sure, but he called Inuyasha little brother," I stated, watching Naraku's expression intently.

He laughed, "You always seem to know what I want to hear. I was hoping that those two would have the desire to fight one another soon."

'So he knows who it is... This Sesshoumaru guy. Though it's no surprise since he seems to know everything about everyone… including me.'

"Why?" I wondered, narrowing my eyebrows.

"It makes them guarded for a time. Leaves them all on an edge," he stated with even more amusement, "You can leave Shaiyu. Do whatever you see fit."

"That's quite an honor," I thought, smirking as I bowed slightly before leaving.

'He never gives any of us time to do as we please. Our orders are usually to stay in the castle… Is he planning something else now?' As I walked down a hallway, I saw Kagura walking towards me.

"Don't get too comfortable with freedom," she said as she passed, "It doesn't last and never will."

"What's got her hair in a knot?" I grumbled with a shrug before continuing on my way.

There was only one restriction to my time away from the castle; I wasn't permitted to see my family. If I did, then they would be killed right in front of my eyes and I would be tortured to death.

As I made it outside into the miasma filled air, I left to get out of the barrier. The forest was nearly dead and the ponds that used to be present were no longer made of pure water. They were made of purple goo liquid that bubbled from the pressure on the bottom; only the liquid was as poisonous as could be. Every time I came out of the barrier I could have been no happier than to get out of that smelly, dead castle.

'Freedom! I love it! Anything that's not taking an order, to me, is considered freedom. Well, as free as it's going to get.' I smiled as I watched the sun starting to set along the horizon. It was a wondrous sight to have the chance to see. The colours were always bright as they merge together in the sky. I was brought out of my moment when a hand took a firm hold of my butt and stroked it gently.

"Well isn't this a nice evening," a familiar voice said pleasantly.

'Oh no… it's that monk that's always with Inuyasha… then that would mean that Inuyasha and all the others are near as well.' There was a thunk sound and the hand immediately jerked away.

"I think it would be better if you weren't stroking women's asses," the demon slayer nearly growled at the monk's perverted ways.

"I-I'm very sorry. Please, forgive me," the monk insisted.

"What the hell is she doing here?!" Inuyasha's voice growled hatefully.

'Oh, I've been found out.' I turned to look at them all with a cocked eyebrow.

"What? Am I not welcome with you anymore?" I asked mockingly, "Since the little puppy never seems to get a hold of him self while he's fighting."

"What did you just say?" Inuyasha asked, raising a fist towards me.

"Oh hey it's you!" Kagome said, pointing at me.

'Wow… that took her a little while.' I thought while inwardly rolling my eyes. I seemed to be doing that a lot lately.

"What do you mean 'oh hey it's you'?" Inuyasha growled.

"Well it's not my fault I didn't recognize her at first," Kagome retorted.

"Oh really? And how many times have I fought against her since we met her Kagome?"

"Don't get snippy with me Inuyasha!" Kagome threatened.

'I don't see what's so threatening about Kagome… She can barely shoot an arrow at someone, let alone harm a half demon like Inuyasha.'

"Or what?"

Sango and Miroku sighed as I went over to them. The little kitsune had joined them as well, sitting on the monk's shoulder.

"So, do they do this a lot?" I asked with a bored tone.

"Yeah," they all sighed, nodding, "Nearly every day."

'Well, since I won't get a fight out of Inuyasha – not like I usually get one anyway because he doesn't like to fight girls – I'm just going to keep on going like I didn't see anything. Naraku will never know I saw him again and Inuyasha won't notice I'm gone because he's really busy.'

"Well, I'm out of here," I told them, walking behind them towards the green forest.

"Where are you going?" Miroku wondered.

"Wherever the hell I please," I said with a smile before disappearing from their sight.

Sango nearly glared at Miroku.

"I told you to stop groping other women's asses you lecherous monk!" she growled.

"I told you, my dearest Sango, I didn't mean to. It's all the wretched curse of this hand," he stated, holding up his right hand.

"Like hell it is!"

The kitsune jumped to the ground beside Kilala and sat down.

"Kilala, I never want to grow up like them."

As I walked through the forest, everything started to get darker around me. The stars started to reveal themselves overhead and the beauty shown through them. 'There is definitely nothing prettier than the night sky filled with stars and the full moon.' I stopped in my tracks when I heard two threatening growls; one on each side of me. They were from different kinds of demons. My eyes glanced to the left and saw an oversized, one eyed, dark brown, savage fox demon whose eye was now looking at me pleasantly. To my right was a giant, white, growling dog with red eyes and a crescent moon shape on its forehead.

"I believe that this little morsel will make a splendid snack," the fox demon growled deeply, obviously a male.

The giant dog just growled while drooling its acid like slobber onto the ground. Suddenly, the dog lunged at the fox and had his neck within its razor sharp fangs. 'Well isn't this just something nice to come across… I wonder which one got pissed off first.' The fox's tail came at me and I jumped over it simply before another one knocked me back to the ground. Once my head collided with the solid dirt everything started to spin and there was a loud ringing in my ears. The only thing I was really aware of was the shaking of the ground from the large demons' footsteps.

One large shake of the ground made me aware that the battle was over and then I sat up unsteadily only to be faced with the deep growling of the giant dog demon. I backed away until my back was against a tree as I stared into the red eyes. 'Well now we know who was superior… but what does that make me? A prize of some sort? Or supper?' The growl was deep as the blood on his fangs made the dog seem angrier than he already seemed.

"Nice doggy," I said as his nose seemed to sniff me slightly, as if to see if I was someone familiar.

That was something I was sure I wasn't. I had never seen this giant dog before in my life.

"Careful with that nose canine. I just might have to freeze it off," I threaten, even though I was in no position to make threats since I seemed to be the prey at the moment.

He growled warningly at me and I narrowed my eyebrows. 'What is he searching for? I'm tired of being sniffed as if I was a tree to pee on.'

"You asked for it," I whispered as I made a small ice spear in my right palm.

Throwing it at him, I got up and quickly ran towards any direction. I didn't care where I was going to end up, but I wanted to get away from that dog. I wasn't really in the mood today to fight against something that could eat me in a second. 'Wait… there's a pond up ahead. I can make that can't I?' As the pond came closer, the giant dog seemed to catch up to me. Even with the small chunk of ice dug into his front paw.

When I came out of the trees, the first thing I did was start to freeze the top of the water so I could stand on it. I was in the middle of the large pond when the dog pounced and broke the ice beneath my feet, throwing me up into the air. Water sprayed around both of us with the moonlight shining down upon the world. Even in my situation, I enjoyed the light shining through the small beads of water as they went around us. That was until something warm and moist surrounded me, and fangs blocked the sight of the world from me. Leaving only darkness. The smell of the dog's poison breath alone was enough to knock me out and send me into unconsciousness.

The dog didn't swallow the prey that he had caught in his mouth. To him this wasn't prey at all. It was just a teenaged demon female who had crossed his path in battle. There was the fact that Naraku's insects had been watching the whole scene play out. When his prey had fallen into his mouth, they seemed to have faltered for a few moments before taking off to report back to their master. The dog made sure that there was none following him before he took off into the forest.

He ran through the darkness of the trees, being guided by the moonlight towards his place of staying. It was away from the human girl and little toad imp; deeper in the forest where he could have some time in silence… his silence. When the giant dog arrived at the opening selected, he lowered his head and released the prey he had caught at the pond.

I could smell the fresh air and was wondering if I have been eaten and then shat out, still alive. 'Damn, that would be so wrong if that really happened.' I coughed slightly before opening my eyes to see the dark sky and to feel extremely soaked.

"Ew," I whispered, sitting up slowly.

As my orange eyes looked around the area to see where I was, I saw the giant dog staring at me intently. 'He's gunna torture me, isn't he?'

"If you were going to eat me then why didn't you just do it before while I was still in your mouth?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows.

'I'm covered in dog drool… smelly dog drool.' The wind picked up slightly and I watched as the dog's form became smaller and started to change shape to a 'human' body. 'Wait… I think I know who that is…'

"I had no intention of eating you," he stated emotionlessly before turning to sit against a nearby tree trunk.

"Sure as hell didn't seem like it," I grumbled, looking away from the silver haired figure.

He didn't say anything, as if he was expecting my attitude even though we had never met face to face. I got up and stretched, feeling my spine crack slightly.

"Well thanks for not eating me," I said turning to walk into the forest, "I'll be going now."

I didn't think that someone could have possibly been pinned that fast. Almost as soon as I said I would be leaving, his claw was on my throat and I was pinned to a tree. 'Well that worked out well, genius.' I rolled my eyes inwardly again, only at myself this time. 'I guess ignorance really doesn't know any bounds.' The thought made me smirk slightly for reasons I didn't know. It just seemed like an ironic statement to me.

"What do you find amusing, wench?" he asked, almost growling at me.

"The statement you said to Inuyasha earlier," I mused, trying to laugh… only it was a little difficult considering I could barely breathe, "That ignorance knows no bounds."

He was silent for a moment and his grip on my throat loosened slightly.

"You were the one who had thrown Jaken through the trees," he stated, realizing he had found the one he had been looking for.

He released my throat, allowing me to slump to the ground and laugh a little. 'Here I am, covered in dog slobber, talking to someone who had just tried to kill me and I'm laughing. I'm starting to think I'm a little insane.'

"Do you know why that staff started screaming?" I wondered, looking up at Sesshoumaru with a cocked eyebrow.

There was one thing Sesshoumaru was sure about in that moment. The female that he had just taken as a prisoner was a light person, even in dark circumstances.

Naraku sat in his chamber as his insects had come to the window. They had reported that they had been witnesses to the death of his little scout for Inuyasha. She had been eaten by a great beast as she had tried to run from it on a large pond by freezing the water. She didn't make it.

"That's such a shame," Naraku mused with a smirk, "her family will be glad to see her then."

"What happened?" Kagura asked while standing with her fan folded in her hand.

"Shaiyu has been eaten by a demon. Why she never chose to fight, I won't understand, but it's too late now," Naraku stated, his smirk still on his face, "Besides, don't you think that her family will be glad to see her when she reaches hell and joins them?"

Kagura smirked slightly as well. Shortly after Naraku had the girl's promise to be his servant, he left and ordered her to kill the girl's family when they were gone.

"Won't she be surprised," she whispered at the thought.

It would have been quite the burden to carry if Naraku was someone else, but of course he had no emotions but selfish devotion to himself.

"Kagura, I wish for you to find a parcel for me at the sea coast. There is a demon there that has been gracious enough to wait there for me in waiting," Naraku said emotionlessly, going back to his thinking.

"As you wish, Naraku," she said with a slight bow before leaving Naraku's chambers.

Sesshoumaru was silent until the sun rose in the morning. He didn't answer my question on if he knew about why the staff started screaming, but I deemed it as unimportant. 'Okay so maybe I'm a prisoner and aren't entitled to getting answers to my questions.'

"Come, we're moving," Sesshoumaru said as he rose to his feet, seeing the sun starting to rise.

"Whatever," I said as I got to my feet.

I knew that I didn't have a chance in hell of being able to run away from him. That had been proven when he was a giant dog. Now that he was in this form, he seemed to be a lot quicker.

"Where are we going?" I asked with a small yawn.

I hadn't slept, being afraid that he might try to kill me in my sleep. Not that I really needed sleep to keep going.

"The west," he stated, walking on ahead of me.

"Why?" I wondered.

Being around Sesshoumaru was different from being around Naraku. When with Sesshoumaru, I felt free to act childish and not care about anything. I felt kind of free. When I was around Naraku, I felt dark and empty. I wanted nothing to do with anything and found amusement in fighting Inuyasha. That was it.

"Must you act so childish?" Sesshoumaru asked me with what sounded like annoyance.

"Yes," I stated with a grin.

There were a few moments of silence before he turned his head towards me.

"Why?" he wondered with a slightly raised brow.

"… Because I feel like it," I stated with a small shrug, "I don't get much of a chance around Naraku."

Before I could realize anything, I had his claw on my throat and my back was once again pinned to a tree.

End of Chapter 1

Yeah, that's right, there are other ones too. Lol! Anyway, please R&R and I'll update when I get the chance to. :D
