Hey reviewers! This is my first Inu-Yasha story. Some of you might know me
from the CardCaptor Sakura section, but that doesn't matter. I've been
trying to expand my writing.abilities with other manga and anime. If this
story isn't that good, I'm very sorry and I would like advice, not flames,
to help me improve this and future stories. Well, onto the first chapter!
Let me just say this. This story happens before they kill Naraku but after
they get the Tetsusaiga back. So yeah, just keeping you informed.
Thoughts are in ''.

'Finally. I get to go away from all this modern stuff of Kagome's world. She sure takes a long time to pack.' Inu-Yasha stood next to the well, waiting for Kagome to come.
"Here I am!" Kagome called, pulling along a very large backpack. Inu-Yasha lifted an eyebrow and remained silent. They jumped into the well, to Inu- Yasha's time, without speaking to each other.
"They're here Miroku!" Shippô called, peering down at the glaring half- demon and black-haired human.
"Lady Kagome! Inu-Yasha! Back already?" Miroku asked, helping Kagome out of the well.
"Wha.What are you doing here? I thought that you were searching for Naraku," Inu-Yasha said, staring at Miroku.
"I was, but Sango insisted that we come to Lady Kaede's village," he replied, shrugging.
"Huh?" Kagome looked up, startled.
"What is it Kagome?" Inu-Yasha asked, watching Kagome closely.
"I feel a.a Shikon Shard near by," she responded and Miroku and Inu-Yasha went on full alert, closely scanning the area around them.
"Over here you guys!" Sango shouted, waving to them from Kirara's back. "Follow me!"
Inu-Yasha and Miroku bounded in the direction that Sango was going while Kagome and Shippô followed as fast as they could. As they got closer, Inu- Yasha unsheathed the Tetsusaiga.
"Hurry up Lord Inu-Yasha! Before she's killed!" The familiar flea-demon jumped onto Inu-Yasha's shoulder.
"Myoga you old man! Why didn't you tell us earlier?!" Inu-Yasha shouted, slightly peeved.
"There!" Miroku shouted as they left the comfort of the woods. The sight before them was smoking. Well, the ground was smoking. A demon that looked like a gorilla (AN: No it's not Naraku. . But it does work for him) and it was attacking what looked like a very small.rock.
"What is it attacking?" Shippô asked, trying to see better.
"It looks like a rock. Wait! It just moved!" Miroku exclaimed, but Inu- Yasha was already rushing towards the demon, the Tetsusaiga raised and ready.
"Prepare to die!" Inu-Yasha shouted, swinging the blade. The demon turned and ducked as the Tetsusaiga skimmed its head. Inu-Yasha brought the Tetsusaiga back around, slicing a few hairs of the top of the demon's head as it ducked the blade once more. A brief pause and the demon was enveloped in poisonous vapors.
"No one can defeat Master Naraku!" The words of the demon rang in the still and smoky air as Miroku moved forward to investigate the "rock".
"Hey! Come look at THIS!" Miroku shouted, lifting the "rock" from the ground.
"What is it Miroku?" Shippô asked, dashing over with Kagome and everyone else.
"It's...It's...It's a human?!" Sango exclaimed, not believing what was before her eyes. Sure enough, it was a small human, but it wasn't an infant. It was a girl that looked about the same age as Kagome. The girl had brown hair and two earrings on one ear. She wore an outfit similar to Inu-Yasha's, only it was blue with green lacing and she didn't have any beads. A scabbard was tied to her, but it was empty. A sword, that looked well used, lay on the ground near by.
"She must have been larger before the demon attacked her. But the question is how did she get to be that small? She's just human," Inu-Yasha commented, taking the girl from Miroku's hand. "Her wounds are bad. We should take her to Lady Kaede."
"Be careful Lord Inu-Yasha. You don't want to hurt her anymore than she is," Myoga said as Inu-Yasha carefully closed his hand around the tiny form.
"I will, you old man, so quit telling me what to do," Inu-Yasha growled, flicking away the flea demon. Inu-Yasha bounded towards the village while everyone else followed on their own.
"Lady Kaede! Lady Kaede!" Kagome called, rushing into Lady Kaede's house.
"What is it Lady Kagome?" Lady Kaede asked, coming into the room.
"We found this girl being attacked by a demon, a minion of Naraku," Miroku responded as Inu-Yasha handed the girl to Lady Kaede.
"This is no normal human. She's a half-breed. A wolf-dog half-demon," Lady Kaede said, inspecting the girl closely. "This is just a defense, shrinking to a smaller size like this, though I haven't seen any of them get this small before."
"WHAT?!" Kagome, Inu-Yasha, Sango, Miroku, and Shippô exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at Lady Kaede.
"Pipe down or you'll scare the poor half-breed before I can fix her," Lady Kaede snapped, turning from them. "She will stay here for tonight. And so will you."
Later that night...
Inu-Yasha stared out the window into the night sky. His eyes wondered over Sango, who was resting next to Miroku, who was sleeping while leaning against the wall. As his gaze shifted, it settled on Kagome as she slept peacefully. There was a twinge of longing that Inu-Yasha found hard to ignore. Silently, he rose and made for the window.
"Inu-Yasha. Be careful out there. Naraku had spies surround us earlier this evening along with some powerful demons," Miroku said, not even opening his eyes.
"I will be right back," Inu-Yasha retorted, slipping out the window. Scanning the area around the house, Inu-Yasha picked out the forms of some demons, including the one that had attacked earlier that day.
"Give us the Masamune and we'll let you and the others live," a demonic voice called from the safety of the dark.
"I don't know what you're talking about so go away," Inu-Yasha said, flexing his claws. "Or I'll make you go away."
"You can't handle us all." "There are too many of us for a single demon, let alone a half-breed."
"Tetsusaiga! Give us the Tetsusaiga instead then!"
"Then come and try and take it if you want it!" Inu-Yasha challenged, pulling the Tetsusaiga from it scabbard.
Suddenly, the area around Inu-Yasha was filled with demons, cutting him off from Kagome and the others.
'What have I gotten myself into? Is Naraku really controlling all these demons? If I'm killed, who will protect Kagome and the others? What is going on?'

Okay then. First chapter is over! Interesting stopping point dontcha think? What did Inu-Yasha get himself into this time? Don't worry about a thing. It'll work out. Wondering about the girl? She's going to be quite the half- demon if I should say so myself. Don't worry, Inu-Yasha won't cheat on Kagome. That wouldn't be fair to the half-demon. ^_^ Just kidding! Anyway, I really hope to see your reviews soon. Talk later!
Sorry about this chapter being so short!
