Hey everyone. This is my first fan fic, so please don't be harsh. I sadly do not own any Inuyasha characters except for Rai. well anyways, enjoy my story!

Rai stared at the setting sun. The wind played through her hair. After a few minutes, she finally stood up and brushed herself off. Maybe I'll have to sleep outside again, she sighed to herself. It wasn't that bad, except for her uncomfortable bedding of grass. And there were demons prowling about at night. She had a few unpleasant encounters with them before. Her pace soon broke into a run as she saw a village before her. Images of a soft bed and warm food raced through her head. Rai gasped as she realized her fatal mistake. It was her home village, the root of her nightmares. Before she could whirl around and run like hell, a voice pierced the silence, "Is that you Rai Teguri!" No it isn't, no it isn't she said fervently to herself. "Well, what do you know! Its our little heartbreaker!" the voice jeered from behind her. Temper got the better of her and she spun around, "And what do you know? Its Hiroshi, village idiot" "My, my. I see the wilderness hasn't beaten the feistiness out of you." Hiroshi said, giving a smug, all-knowing smile. "Daughter, the days have been bleak and dreary without you" another hateful voice of her past said. Father. As if she could call him that anymore. She didn't respond to him and continued walked. Hiroshi grabbed her roughly by the arm. Rai just as easily pulled her arm away. She said through gritted teeth, "I left this village for a good reason." "And you're coming back for a good reason," her father said in a tone in which trouble always followed. And her instincts were right. Hiroshi and another man grabbed her arms. Hiroshi whispered in her ear, "Calm down Rai, this is for your own good" Then, before she could snap his neck off, a sharp pain hit her on the head.

Her eyes slowly opened. Where was she? Rai squinted through the glaring light, trying to make out the figures visible to her. A demon?! Wait, two demons! One was a silver white haired demon with two doglike ears on his head and another was a small red haired kitsune. This did not help her much muddled head. Even stranger was a girl of 15 or 16 years in odd dressing casually eating next to another girl her age idly chatting, as if the two demons' presence didn't matter. And a boy the same age area either oblivious or comfortable around the demons. She got acquainted with her surroundings, she realized she was propped up against a wall in her much loathed home. Rai looked around to find that no one but these odd characters with her. "Oh, its nice to see you're awake" the oddly dressed girl piped up cheerily, "My name's Kagome" Rai scowled and snapped, "What are you doing in my home?" "Hello to you too" the silver haired dog demon sneered. "Now Inuyasha, we must be kind to her. She's quite confused. I am Miroku, Buddhist monk at your service," Miroku said with an air of grace. "It translates to stupid lecher," Inuyasha muttered and crossed his arms. "Hey do you have any more donuts?" The other smaller demon inquired. "Shippo, that is no way to behave," the girl next to Kagome scolded. She smoothly added, "I am Sango. Pleased to meet you." "So monk why are you here when no ominous forces hang over our mundane village?" Rai questioned with an edgy tone. He looked taken aback, "How could you possibly know anything about ominous forces?" "I had a bit of training as a priestess. It wasn't much, but it was enough to know about 'ominous forces' and if they were around or not," Rai smirked. "Ah, a priestess. It would be a great honor if you were to bear me a child," Miroku said humbly and took her hand. Rai had to use all of her strength to resist the urge to pummel him. Thankfully, Sango did that for her. "You know better than that!" Sango yelled as she slapped him continuously. "No he doesn't" Inuyasha said in his usual cold voice. "I guess we haven't made much of an impression on you" Kagome said nervously. "Oh you've made quite an impression on me," Rai chuckled. Suddenly, a humongous boom came from the village followed by shrieks. And to top it all off, the ground began to shake as if the earth was about to split in half. Out of nowhere, hands snatched her out of her home. The one who had snatched her was Hiroshi. She was just about to kick his ass when he threw her to her knees. "Please my Lord! Take this girl as your servant! But spare our village, I beg of you!" Hiroshi blubbered in complete cowardice. Rai found herself facing a very grim looking demon with ruthless gold eyes. He bore a hole through her with his piercing gaze. She glared back with all her defiance. "Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha practically spat as he spotted him. "Good to see you brother," Sesshomaru said icily, enough to chill anyone to the bones. Rai stood up, reaching for her sword, but then, Sesshomaru pushed her down. His eyes spilled complete hate and no emotion. She was good as gone.
