Chapter 1

A gentle breeze swept through a clearing in the forest caressing the branches of the pines and the blades of grass. Every leaf danced to the small melody of the silent wind. Birds chirped as the sun lowered in the sky towards the horizon. Everything seemed to go silent as the sky glowed with brilliant colors that no human could possibly capture in their lifetime. The silence was blissful. That is… until it was broken.

"Damn it Kagome! Is the food ready yet?" Asked an impatient hanyou.

"What did I say a few seconds ago?" Inquired an irritated teenage girl.

The half-demon rolled his golden eyes as he imitated the girl's voice, "In a few minutes."

"Well it hasn't been a few minutes, now has it? And don't mock me Inuyasha!" The girl yelled, pointing a wooden spoon at him threateningly.

"Yeah! Don't mock Kagome!" Interjected a small fox demon that sprang as if out of no where.

The silver-haired half-demon turned to the red-headed kitsune and brought his face to the young boy's level as he glared. "Shut up pipsqueak or I'll eat you as an appetizer for dinner!"

"Kagome! Inuyasha is threatening to cook me and eat me!" The little fox cried as he jumped up and ran behind Kagome.

"Inuyasha don't threaten to do that to Shippo!"

"I didn't, he's a lair! I'd eat you raw," Inuyasha lowered his voice ominously as he showed off his claws to the young demon.

"INUYASHA, SIT!"

Crash. "Oof!"

"… Thank you Kagome!" Shippo smiled as he looked from the large crater to the pretty young miko.

"No problem Shippo. Here, have a lollipop."

"Yay!"

On the other side of the fire, the beautiful demon slayer was enjoying the setting sun, until she felt a hand lightly fondle her backside. "MIROKU!" Slap.

"Ouch, Lady Sango, why must you hurt me so? I was merely showing my appreciation for your beautiful-"

Sango lifted up her finger and pointed firmly at the monk's face. "You'd better stop right there monk or I'll make you eat Hiraikotsu for dinner."

Inuyasha, who was climbing out of the crater, heard her warning and replied, "Pfft. I'm so hungry I'll eat that for dinner."

"Good, Inuyasha, more for others to eat since I just finished," Kagome answered him with a humph and a flick of her hair.

"Aw, Kagome, I was just kidding ya! You know I love your cooking," Inuyasha scrambled to her and the food.

"No you just love the ramen," Kagome glared.

"Well… yeah."

She turned red and glared harder at him. "Fine! You don't get any!" She then used her body to block his view of the food.

Inuyasha cried at her back, "No wait Kagome! Come on, I want some!"

Shippo popped up from behind Kagome and jumped in front of the hanyou. "Get away from her Inuyasha, she said none for you!"

"Shut up you little brat!" Inuyasha growled as he swatted at the young demon.

"Kagome!" Shippo cried as he tugged lightly on her skirt.

"Inuyasha! Stop calling Shippo mean names!" The miko commanded as she was pouring the food into some bowls.

The silver haired hanyou was about to yell at Kagome when the little fox demon sprang up and secured his tiny teeth into Inuyahsa's arm. "Gah! He bit me! GET HIM OFF! GET OFF YOU LITTLE PEST!" Inuyasha shook his arm around wildly trying to get Shippo to unclamp his teeth.

"AH!" cried the little fox.

"INUYASHA STOP THRASHING SHIPPO AROUND! I'm warning you I've got a pan and I know how to use it! Don't make me use it!" Kagome shrieked as she wielded the iron pan.

Sango was watching the action as she innocently blew on her soup when she felt an annoying hand rub her butt. "MIROKU! THAT'S IT!" Sango slammed her bowl down, got up, and stomped over to her large bone boomerang.

Miroku quickly put up his hands for defense and waved them around as if trying to clear the air of her anger. "But, Lady Sango, dear, you know I'm just showing my affections! Now kindly put the weapon down," he coaxed.

The demon slayer lifted up the large weapon as if it were nothing and turned to the monk swiftly, not even hearing him. "You'd better start to run monk."

Bonk. "OW!" cried Shippo as he slobbered on the Inuyasha's arm.

Kagome gasped as she saw Inuyasha punch Shippo none too lightly on the head. "INUYASHA! DON'T HIT SHIPPO!" Bang, Bang.

"OUCH! What the hell?" The hanyou looked to find Kagome was hitting him the iron pan. "KAGOME STOP HITTING ME WITH THAT!" Without warning she jumped on his back to get a better shot at his head. "GAH! GET OFF ME KAGOME!"

And all chaos broke out. Sango was chasing the fleeing Miroku around in circles, who was just barely dodging the haphazard throws of the taijiya. In the middle near the fire was the bumbling mass that was Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo. Kagome was strangling the hanyou from behind and bashing a clean pot into his head. The little fox demon was clamping on to the half-demon's arm for dear life by his teeth as he was being thrashed around. Inuyasha was clumsily trying to throw off the kistune as well as balance the weight of Kagome. This scene though very chaotic, was also very comical.

It was this comical scene that a demon happened upon. He could not only smell the half-demon but he could smell the familiar odor of a burning meal that the hanyou always had about him. He was ready to finally fulfill one of his goals he'd had for a while. The blood and death of Inuyasha would be on his hands. The demon brushed away some of the long hair that floated towards his face just before he quickly and silently shot off into the dusk.
