Inuyasha: Your joking...right?

Me: yeah.

By the way "speaking", 'thinking', and *at the beginning and ending of dream sequences*

~*Chapter 1: Introductions*~

* Kagome was sitting in a fetal position in the middle of the forest. 'It's so cold' was all she could think about. It was the middle of winter in feudal Japan. Then she remembered that Inuyasha would be able to hear her, even if she was pretty far from where she thought camp was.

"Inuyasha, come help me please. I'm so cold" She yelled over and over again.

Then it started to snow. 'How could this possibly get any worse,' she thought to herself. Just when she thought no one was coming for her, Inuyasha glided down from the sky.

He looked like an angel. Just before she ran into his waiting arms, a youkai jumped out in front of her and she took a small step back.

She watched in horror as the youkai slashed Inuyasha across the chest. The cut was deep and he went unconscious from it.

Kagome was sure this was the end for her and she tried to prepare herself from death. The large youkai stood in front of her and readied his razor sharp claws. She then recognized the youkai as Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's elder half-brother.

She curled into a little ball and awaited her doom. "Well, well, well. Look at the little human quiver with fear now that she no longer has a protector," Sesshomaru snarled and grinned evilly.

Just then something that resembled a person was standing in front of her, facing Sesshomaru. Kagome's vision was blurred because of the snow. 'Is that a human or a youkai? Wait she has dog ears like Inuyasha's! Could she be an Inu youkai like Inuyasha!?'

"What are you doing you wench? How dare you stop my attack! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to kill you along with her!" Sesshomaru's expression was utterly emotionless.

He raised his hand to kill the hanyou but stopped himself in mid-slash. There was something intriguing about this hanyou. He saw that it was a female and non-the-less, she wasn't afraid of him at all.

"Why do you not quiver with fear as the one behind you? Do you really think you are of some competition to me?" Sesshomaru's voice was cold and heartless and yet, filled with anger.

The hanyou looked at him with the same emotionless face he usually wore. "You will not harm her youkai. I will not allow it." The hanyou kept her stance as it was. She did not waver.

Sesshomaru raised his arm once again, his face showing anger and shock. This time he would follow through on his attack. Kagome was riddled with fear as his arm swiftly attacked the hanyou in front of her. *

Kagome screamed and then sat up, covered in a cold sweat. She was panting for air. "Kagome what's wrong? Kagome say something, please." Inuyasha was beside her trying to figure out what happened.

"Lady Kagome are you all right? Was there a youkai around here?" Miroku's face was also concerned and fearful.

"I had a horrible nightmare. Who was the hanyou though?" Sango walked over to her and put a blanket around her shoulders. "What was it about? You said there was a hanyou?" Sango tried to calm her nerves and was helping a little.

"You woke me up in the middle of the night because you had a night mare?! I can't believe you. Next time don't scream so loud, and wake someone else up will ya." Inuyasha huffed and leapt back up in his tree. "Oh and by the way the hanyou that you saw was probably me." He closed his eyes but kept his ears open.

"No Inuyasha, You had gotten slashed by Sesshomaru and were unconscious. There was another one, a girl by the looks of it." Sango and Miroku looked at one another. Miroku then looked toward Kagome. "Did the hanyou try to attack you? Is that why you woke up?" Miroku had concern in his lavender eyes.

"No she tried to defend me. I woke up when Sesshomaru attacked her. I knew I was next." Sango looked back at Miroku. "I suggest that we all get some sleep and talk more about it in the morning." With that Miroku got up and walked over to his spot against the trunk of Inuyasha's tree. Sango retired to her pile of blankets, and Kagome went to sleep again.

______________________________________________________________________

The next morning, Inuyasha went out hunting and the others built a fire. The autumn air was cool and growing colder every day. It would be winter soon. Kagome had just sat down near the fire when Miroku turned his head quickly. He gazed fiercely into the forest.

"Stand behind me, both of you," Miroku calmly instructed. Sango grabbed her boomerang bone. Kagome got her Bow and Arrows.

Into the camp limped an injured being. Kagome and Sango both dropped their weapons and ran over to it. They each grabbed an arm and helped it to the fire. Kagome's Eyes opened wide as she recognized the hanyou. She now saw her clearly.

The mysterious hanyou had silver-white hair exactly like Inuyasha's, and green eyes. She had sliver dog ears like Inuyasha's too. Her claws were sharp and her fangs were pearly white. Her kimono was short and had no sleeves. It also had a very low-cut neck. Miroku's eyes were having a great time looking her up and down over, and over again.

Her kimono was a blood red color with the design of a silver dragon wrapped around it. The details and background design was black. The tail of the dragon started over her right leg and wrapped around her middle until ending with its head over her heart.

"Thank you so much for your kindness. I was attacked by a youkai. They usually don't bother me. They're too busy staring at me, like your friend." She pointed at Miroku who was wide-eyed and slightly drooling.

"I'm sorry, let me introduce myself. My name is Kakane. As you might have guessed I'm an Inu hanyou."

Inuyasha came bounding into the camp and snarled at the intruder. He leapt in front of the gang. "Who are you! What are you doing here?"

"I'm Kakane the Inu hanyou. Ah, and you are Inuyasha, are you not?"

Inuyasha snarled, "How do you know me? Explain your self!"

Kagome stepped in front of Inuyasha and yelled 'sit'. Inuyasha's face came crashing down to the ground.

"You could be a little nicer you know. She was hurt be a youkai in the forest."

Kakane stood up and bowed slightly toward Kagome. Then she did the same to Sango, Miroku, And Shippo. "Thank you for your generosity but I should get going. My wounds are slightly healed and I'll not bother you any more. Again thank you."

As she turned around to leave a youkai jumped down in front of the gang. Kagome stood and said very boldly, "Sesshomaru, leave now and I won't kill you."

"S...S...Sesshomaru?" Kakane's quivering voice was nothing compared to the shock on her face. "You...You are the one I seek. I will not let you harm anyone of them." She back-flipped to where he was and then tried to strike him across the chest. He was too fast and dodged the attack. He went to strike her and hit her across the chest. Blood fell to the dirt ground as she fell forward onto him.

"Accursed wench, you will pay." He looked down into her eyes and stopped. Inuyasha was holding Kagome close and Miroku was holding Sango close. Shippo was between the two pairs.

Sesshomaru looked into her deep green eyes and lifted her up in his arms. Inuyasha had gotten up to go and get Kakane back from him. He did not want to see a new friend killed. Miroku let go of Sango and stepped in front of the two ladies and the kitsune youkai. Before Inuyasha could get to her, Sesshomaru gracefully jumped off the ground into the air. He leapt from branch to branch. Carrying the unconscious hanyou to his castle in the Western Lands.
