The Dawn of Sayuri- A Fan-Fic by Kohaku262

With the final blow inuyasha's opponent fell to the ground and the hanyou began to crack his knuckles and cackle.

"He he he. Damn demon. I told you not to get in my way...now look what you made me do to you! HAAA HAAAA HAAA"

"Inuyasha, snap out of it! Are you listening to me?" Kagome screamed.

"Oh no," she thought, "he's transformed again and now he can't hear me. He's killing for fun. What are we going to do?"

The shock of his brother defeating one of his minions had finally set in. Sesshomaru charged forward swinging the blade of his sword at inuyasha's head.

"Little brother you disgust me. You don't know who you are, you don't even know who the enemy is yet you still have the power to bring one of my minions to his knees. However, the thing that sickens me most is that you are a worthless half-breed and still managed to salughter him. Hmph. I must bring this to an end."

While the battle raged on a dark shadow rustled in the forest. For the second time Sesshomaru freed his brother from his demon state instead of killing him. As Inuyasha lay there unconscious and his friends ran to his side the shadow moved closer.

"There is no point in my staying. I will kill you Inuyasha, in goodtime, when you are a worthy opponent." Sesshomaru walked calmly away from the site and with a flash the shadow ran past the group lunging, claws extended toward him. Kagome, Sango and Miroku watched in horror at what they were seeing. This shadow had attacked Sesshomaru and seemed to be wining. A feat that Inuyasha had difficulty in doing. The shadow stopped as Sesshomaru sped off through the woods. Kagome could clearly make out what appeared to be a young woman who clearly had 3 shards in her possession.

" You bastard!!!!!!!! Come and fight me!!!!!!! Coward!!!!!!"

The young woman screamed and with a gust of wind was gone as fast as she appeared, chasing after the youki.

"Are you okay Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah," Inuyasha grunted, "I'm fine"

"Are you sure?"

"I said I'm fine"

"Sit!!!!!!!!"

"What was that for?"

"You didn't have to yell at me. I was only trying to -"

"Inuyasha, Sango and I were wondering if you knew anything about the woman back there?" Miroku interrupted to prevent Kagome from wanting to go home.

"What woman?"

"You don't know? Did you not smell her scent or something like that," Sango questioned

" I didn't think to sniff for anything….. geeze. All I could smell was blood," in the background of the conversation you could here Shippo humming and Inuyasha begin to mutter something about being a dog under his breath.

"Would it help if we described her Inuyasha?" Kagome inquired

" I dunno maybe but I'm not promising anything. I mean just cause I got demon in me doesn't mean I know everyone that passes by."

"Well," Miroku started, "she had long black hair, pointy ears that were similar to Sesshomaru's, extremely long nails for a human and she had a great-"

"Never mind Miroku . I still don't know who it is and your description is definitely not gonna help," Inuyasha said bringing the monks thought to a crashing halt.

"Humph" Miroku silently walked away with a deep scarlet hand print on his left cheek and Sango looked the other direction with a throbbing hand.

"She was a half demon not a human." Shippo said, "and it seemed that she had something against Sesshomaru."

"That helps a lot Shippo," Inuyasha taunted in a sarcastic tone, "there are a lot of people who have grudges against him…probably killed her village or something. Although…"

"Although what?" Kagome asked

"Never mind….it's nothing honest. I mean it couldn't be who I thought it was cause that person died along time ago…"

"Well…that's not completely true.. You kinda died and you r alive and kickin now…" Kagome teased.

"Yeah…" Inuyasha gazed at the setting sun and pondered in silence while Kagome sat next to him wishing that he would tell her what he was thinking. Inuyasha's eyes told her that something was wrong . It was almost that look like when he thought of Kikyo but not quite. Somehow it was different but she couldn't place it just yet.
