Hi, it's my first fic, so please go easy on me! And I own absolutely NOTHING from Inuyasha and Nurarihyon no Mago! If I did, I would have been queen of the world!

Chapter One: Familiar

She walked through the streets and tripped from a… banana peel?

The heck? She thought. She got up and walked more carefully, only to be tackled by someone.

"Watch where you're going baka!" A high-pitched voice shrieked. "Now you've gone and bumped into someone!"

The weight on her finally came off and when she rolled onto her back, two pairs of eyes were glaring at each other.

She made a quick scan and saw that they each belonged an amber-eyed male and a sapphire-eyed female. Both were crackling with SO much angry energy, so she took the liberty to intervene by saying, "Um, can somebody help me up?"

The female looked at her as if she was just noticing her, while the male just scowled and stood there.

She rushed over and helped the girl up while apologizing profusely. She looked at her closely and smiled in amusement.

She sure is funny, she thought, as she told her that she forgave them.

The said girl insisted to escort her to her destination as payment, but she refused, suddenly on guard as to where she was going.

The girl kept insisting though, and so she had to think of something. Fast.

Hiding the fact that she was a bit disturbed by the fact that someone was going to escort her to where she was going, she walked and stopped at a random house not too far from where they were and explained to them that is where she lived and so they had no need to see her to her home.

They reluctantly accepted and went back to wherever they were going, while the girl sighed with relief and went on to her true destination.

Kagome was pissed.

She hated having to keep Inuyasha in line and resisting the urge to say, "Osuwari!" to him. She sure was lucky that the little girl they bumped into was so forgiving.

"Keh, that onna was lying." Inuyasha scowled, glaring at the direction they last saw the girl at. She sighed, exasperation finally taking a toll on her.

"She did a good reason to." Kagome pointed out, turning her sapphire eyes onto him.

"Oh yeah? Like what?" Inuyasha taunted, adding more stress into the miko.

She closed her eyes and sucked a good amount of air in. She looked at him and murmured, "Well you did crash into her and didn't even bother apologizing."

She hummed in satisfaction when she noticed his ears flatten slightly upon hearing what she had said.

"Keh." Inuyasha muttered, turning away from her. He started back toward the shrine the miko lived and looked back to see Kagome staring back to where the girl had gone.

"There's something familiar about her though," She said softly, so softly that if he didn't have his heightened senses, he would not have heard anything at all.

"Oi, hurry up, wench! Those jewel shards don't gather themselves and I have no intention in letting 'em fall into Naraku's dirty hands either!" He yelled.

Kagome's eye twitched, her annoyance over-powering her restrain. She opened her mouth and screamed, "OSUWARI! OSUWARI! OSUWARIII!"

He fell to the ground with the powerful tug of the cursed necklace, and dug into there deeper, as more "sits" came.

As Kagome hurried home-wards, she thought of the familiar girl, and felt the familiar twinge in her heart. She became confused as she recognized that feeling of longing, she would know of the feeling of course, she felt it many times as she watched Inuyasha sneak off to see Kikyo.

A woman came into the household of Nura, and smiled as she saw the head hurry to welcome her. She tilted her head slightly and said, "Long time no see, Rikuo-chan."

"Aralia-kun," Rikuo mused, "How was your 'journey?'"

She laughed, amused with his attempt to lighten the awkward atmosphere, especially when he was used to seeing her in her childish form. She reflected back to that strange sapphire-eyed girl and hanyou companion and answered, "It was… interesting. But not as amusing as seeing an old friend of ours, along with a strange inu-hanyou. Though it does seem like her to stick herself to anything with potential, even if it's now subconscious, seeing that she has a hardcore amnesia about us."

Rikuo contemplated at her words, he had no idea of who she was talking about, though it did sound familiar. Aralia's eyes lightened with amusement, and her next words made his mind and heart pause, "You know Rikuo-chan, I expected you to remember your ojii-san's okaa-san."

So how was it?! Please review this fic, cause I have no idea whether it was good or bad, heck even tips or bashes are welcome!
