Been on my mind for a while now actually. Teehee.

Neko: It has people.

Inuyasha: Feh. You're only doing this is because you're starting to like Sesshomaru.

NANI! KAGOME! INUYASHA IS BEING MEAN TO ME!

Kagome: What?

Inuyasha: S-She's lying!

Kagome: SIT BOY!

Inuyasha: GAH! *faceplants*

Neko: *sweatdrops* I question this a lot. Please review.

Chapter 1 - The Cat and the Meeting

I watched my prey swim around. My long black tail swished behind me, my medium sized cat ears laying back. My little pink tongue poked out from my lips, to the side. I was about to launched myself when I heard a child's voice.

"This way Master Jaken."

"I know where we're going Rin!" an annoying voice snapped.

I peeked over the ledge to see a small child with brown hair and brown eyes and behind her was an imp. Ugly little creature. I sat up, my ears twitching curiously as I tilted my head. What a strange thing to see. I myself is a half-demon, the most shunned and hated kind of all. My nose caught the scent of something. I looked over my shoulder to see a...GIANT SPIDER! I paled and screamed, falling off of the cliff and straight into the water. HOLY CRAP! IT'S FREEZING! I popped up for air, just in time to see a silver hair male slash the demon into nothingness. He landed near the edge, looking down at me. I tilted my head, "Nyah?"

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?" the little girl asked.

"Hai hai. I am. Thank you for asking." I said, smiling at her.

"Are you a demon?" she asked.

I stood up and got out of the water, shaking myself to get off the water. Once I was done, I combed my fingers through my hair.

"Hai. I am of some shorts. I'm a half-demon."

Her eyes grew large and said, "You're very pretty for a half-demon."

I felt my cheeks burn slightly, but I smiled, "Thank you young one."

"Why are you so small?" the imp asked rudely.

I glared at him then stepped on his head, angry aura around me, my eye twitching.

"What did you say?" I asked low.

"Half-breed."

I paused, looking up at the silver haired male. I removed my foot and moved close to him. I closed my eyes and sniffed him, then leaned away, looking at him.

"You're a full demon. And powerful."

"You can tell that all from smelling him?"

I looked at the young child, "Hai. That I can."

She gasped excitedly, then turned to the male, "Can she stay Lord Sesshomaru?"

"Do what you want." he said, turning and started walking away.

Lord...Sesshomaru...Where have I heard it before? I was taken out of my thoughts by a small tug on my black kimono with crimson dragons. It's like the young child's kimono except it stopped at my mid-thigh. I looked down at her.

"I'm Rin. What's your name?"

"Nice to meet you Rin. I'm Ai."

"You're name is really pretty."

"Thank you Rin."

We quickly went after the Lord Sesshomaru, leaving behind the fallen imp.

=O=O=

Sesshomaru decided to camp, but he left, leaving me, Rin, Jaken, and A-Un. I ran my hand through Rin's hair, combing out the knots while I laid against A-Un. I was careful with my sharp claws. I heard her breathing deeper and gentler. I peeked over her head to see that she was asleep. I smiled softly and moved, placing her gently against the two headed dragon. I covered her up with my pelt that I wore around my waist. It was made out of rabbits, boar, and any other animal I could find. I petted the dragon, silently telling it to stay here and protect Rin. I raced to the woods. My nose caught the scent of a demon not to far away from here. I had grown fawned and attached to the little girl quickly and I wasn't going to let a demon hurt her. Over my dead body. I saw the demon and pulled out my small sword. The blade is made out of dragon bones while the handle was made out of the skin. My father, a powerful demon of the North, was given the sword to him as a gift and it was passed to me.

"I smell you half-breed. Come out come out."

I stepped out, my crimson eyes glaring at the demon. It was scaly and ugly. It had a very fat belly and three horns sticking out of his head. I wanted to throw up right now.

"Well aren't you a pretty thing. You look delicious enough...to eat!" it roared, lunging at me.

I side-stepped it and brought my sword down quickly, slashing it into two halves. I spat it and snarled, "Disgusting creature."

I wiped the blood off and tucked my sword away. I turned and walked the way I came. I came back over to Rin and patted A-Un's nose before curling up next to Rin, hugging her close and she curled into me. I shut my eyes and fell asleep.
