Disclaimer: "Guess who's back back again (Sara's) back tell a friend." No, really, tell a friend ^_^. Well, here I am with the sequel to 'The Demonic Side' for all you 'Siders' out there. That is what I am calling you all. Those of you who have read 'The Demonic Side,' and who are now reading 'The Dark Side' are known as 'Siders' to me. Well, I don't know how this will turn out, prolly a crappy sequel that no one will like reading. But, hey, if ya don't like it or how it is going, then just click on a button and stop reading. Just make sure you review, flame or otherwise, cuz I like reviews ^_^

I have returned from the middle of nowhere, seeing as to how I am writing this instead of working on my other idea... * sigh * at this rate, I don't think I will ever finish it... oh well. At least these stories are doing well, right?

~*~Chapter One: The Meeting~*~

She stood in the forest, glowing eerily. She saw him not a few hours before when he had returned to the village and she knew he would come searching for her. Her face sported a smile as her demons surrounded her. "He will always come to me," she whispered to no one.

"He is not coming this way for you," a cold voice said. Evil dripped from the syllables of each word. Enjoyment in what he did echoed in the sound. "He may always come for you, but the hanyou doesn't even know you are here."

She glared at the darkness between two large trees. "And, what, he's coming for you? He wouldn't. He has just come back from the dead. No, I take it back. Inu Yasha was beyond death," she looked at the ground thoughtfully, "Messengers from the underworld wouldn't even come to take him. Inu Yasha had gone there: all alone, with out help. That means that he couldn't be brought back."

"Then why is he? Why would you have come here? He was where you and I wanted him: dead."

"Naraku," she said, lifting her cold stare to the faint outline of fur, "his damn brother brought him back. You should know that. Kana does have that mirror. Did you not think to use it? * Laugh * you are ignorant, aren't you?"

In one quick movement, she was suspended in the air, a brown tentacle wrapped around her slim neck, her dark hair surrounding it. She struggled to breathe. Just as fast, she was on the ground, grasping her neck in pain.

Inu Yasha went deeper into the woods. The scent of Naraku was stronger as he headed north. The other smell was still not clicking in his head, but he knew he had smelled it before. 'What the hell is it?' he asked himself as he passed tree after tree. His bare feet beat down on branches and ground as he pushed off from different spots.

He was running his heart out. He would do anything to keep from Kagome dieing, and if Naraku was near, then he would have to be alert and strong. Inu Yasha was going to fight Naraku, if it meant his life.

'If you lost your life, then Kagome would end hers as well. She wont live without you.' Inu Yasha growled. He knew that, but how could he protect Kagome without risking and even loosing his life? 'Just try not and get yourself killed. Its that easy.' He sighed.

Inu Yasha picked up the pace. He needed to get to the bastard as soon as possible. He would kill him tonight.

~*~

The stars were twinkling over the two as Naraku laughed. "I would watch my tongue if I were you." He looked down at her. The trees rustled around him. "Hello, Inu Yasha."

The inu hanyou walked in to the scene. Naraku was standing there as the woman regained her balance. Inu Yasha gawked at them. One name escaped his lips.

~*~END CHAPTER~*~

Well, there it is. THE SEQUEL HAS BEGUN! Now, the title may not really go with the story, I don't know yet. I will try and make it so that it does. Well, until next time! Ja Ne!
