Enter: Saya

Saya was walking through a clearing after leaving the group of strangers behind. She made a mental note on who they are. There was a half dog-demon with dog ears and long silver hair, a priestess in strange clothing, a monk, a demon slayer, a fox kit, and two-tailed fire cat demon. Saya knew she had to drink blood soon, so she went off to see if she can find any animals or demons she can kill nearby.

Saya spotted a brown wolf drinking some water out of the river. She checked to make sure none of its pack members were close by. When Saya knew that the wolf was alone she brought her sword out, and sliced the wolf up before it could even blink.

"Koga where are you going?" Ginta called out to him. There was a wolf prince named Koga. He had long black hair tied into a ponytail with his two side-kicks behind him. One had white hair and the other had a mohawk. There names were Ginta and Hakkaku. (A/N: I don't know which is which.)

"Don't you guys smell that?" Koga yelled back at them. "Naraku's filthy stench is nearby." Not wanting to lose precious time at finally being able to take revenge on the person that killed his comrades, Koga activate the jewel shards in his legs and formed a tornado and raced of to find where he thought the scent was coming from.

When can he to a clearing with a river flowing, what he saw made him gasp. There was the brown wolf he had sent earlier to get some food. Its legs were chopped clean off, and there was a girl with two pigtails and dark gray eyes drinking its blood. Koga tried to punch the girl when she didn't notice, but she quickly jumped out-of-the-way.

"What do you want?" Saya asked coldly. She was getting pretty tired of being attacked on the same day in less than an hour. It was quite irritating.

"YOU killed one of my wolves," Koga replied through clenched teeth. His hands were fisted up. "Plus you have the same stench as Naraku." Saya narrowed her eyes at this. This guy knows Naraku? "Tell me where he is, or prepare to DIE!"

Koga tried to kick her, but she quickly rolled out-of-the-way. Saya can sense two sacred jewel shards in the wolf demon's legs. (A/N: Yes Saya can sense jewel shards. I just thought since Saya can sense a demon's weak point, why not make her sense the jewel shard. There is also another why she can sense the jewel shards, but I'm not telling ya'll now. You'll just have to keep reading to find out. Alright! Even said, back to the story.) When Koga tried to roundhouse kick her, Saya took the chance to slash both his legs where the shards were.

"Oh, no!" Koga thought as his jewel shards were taken by the girl. He was lucky she didn't cut his legs off. Damn! This is what he gets for underestimating her. But what really surprised him the most was that out of all of Naraku's incarnations, she's the most human in someway. She wasn't done any tricks or shown any demonic power. "Why is that?" Koga wondered. "Even so if she has Naraku's scent on her then she must be in league with him in someway."


"Look at what you've done, Kagome," the half dog-demon growled irritably. "You let her get away."

"How was that my fault?" Kagome retorted. "If you would just ask her nicely in the first place, Inuyasha, then we could have gotten the shards from her." Inuyasha was about to say something back when Koga's blood reached his nose. Normally he wouldn't care, but he wanted to see who or what was kicking Koga's ass so he could save him then laugh at his face for getting his butt whooped.

"I smell that scrawny wolf's blood," Inuyasha said.

"You mean Koga's?" Shippo asked from Miroku's shoulder. Inuyasha nodded his head.

"Know that you mention it I can sense two sacred jewel shards," Kagome said. "Wait, I also sense another two jewel shards." Everyone gasped.

"Do you think it's that girl we saw earlier?" Sango asked.

"Yep! I'm positive it is!" Kagome said.

"Then what are we waiting," Inuyasha said. "Let's get going." They raced off to the where Koga and the shards were. Kagome and Shippo were on Inuyasha's back, and Sango and Miroku were riding on a transformed Kirara. No later that made to where Koga was. Indeed there was the girl saw earlier. But they couldn't believe what they saw. Koga had numerous gashes all over his body, and the girl had her sword out and what surprised them the most was that she didn't even have a scratch on her.

"How are you getting beat by this girl, Koga?" Inuyasha reprimanded him.

"I like to see you fight this girl, mutt!" Koga yelled. "She ain't human if you hadn't noticed. She's one of Naraku's henchmen, and she stole my jewel shards!" The Inuyasha gang gasped at this. Inuyasha started to sniff the air. His eyes widened, she does have Naraku's scent on her, but why couldn't he smell earlier. Saya noticed Inuyasha growling threatening at her.

"What's wrong, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked while approaching him.

"She smells just like Naraku," he growled out. Everyone was shocked by this and quickly got into a fighting stance. Inuyasha pulled out his Tessaiga. Saya watched it as it transformed into a huge fanged sword. "Tell us where Naraku is," Inuyasha growled.

Saya just stared at him. "Fine! If you won't talk then I'll just beat the answer out of you!" And with that Inuyasha charged at her. He swung his blade downwards, and Saya quickly brought hers up, countering his. They kept on clashing sword and sword. Inuyasha was pushing Saya back a little. She made downward swing for his legs, noticing this Inuyasha quickly jumped out-of-the-way.

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango yelled as she threw her bone boomerang at Saya. Seeing this, she quickly ducked down as the boomerang flew past her, missing her by mere inches. Saya got up, but she didn't notice the sacred arrow that went flying towards her arm.

"You did it, Kagome," Shippo cheered as Kagome's arrow hit Saya dead in the arm.

"How you like that," Inuyasha said smugly. Saya simply the arrow roughly out of her arm with no change in her expression. She started to rub the wound tenderly. Everyone gasped. Why isn't she dead?

"What happened?" Miroku asked in shock to no one in particularly. "Kagome's arrow should have purified her." Miroku knew he couldn't sense she now had four jewel shards in her possession. Not wanting to waste time since she seems to be distracted by her wound, Koga tried to kick Saya yet again, but she noticed his approach and quickly sliced his legs. Koga winced and his the momentum to roundhouse kick her sword right out of her hands.

Saya watched as her sword flew a few feet away from her. These people were starting to get on her nerves. Why couldn't they just leave her alone? She felt her gray eyes threatening to turn demonic red. "Not so tough without your sword now, are you?" Inuyasha yelled out. They started to gather around her from all sides. "Now, tell us where Naraku is and hand over your jewel shards, and we might let you live." Before Saya could reply back, a huge cerberus dog-demon came out of nowhere and grabbed Kagome in one of its ears/hands.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome choked out as she was being crushed by the demon's hands. Saya's blood was really boiling now. This brought back painful memories. She watched as they all tried to attack the beast to save their friend. Wasting no more time, Saya quickly grabbed the sharpest thing she could find, which was a long sturdy, pointy stick. (A/N: What can you expect? The anime did say that Saya can use any weapon as long as it's sharp and draws blood.) Saya quickly charged at the demon on jumped on top of it. They all watched in awe as she quickly stabbed the stick right through the cerberus's hand and pinned it to its back. She grabbed his other hand, the one that had a screaming Kagome on it, and broke that one.

The beast cried out in pain as it released her. "Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he jumped and caught her before she could hit the ground. Inuyasha gang could do nothing, but stare in awe. Had she really just saved Kagome? But why? "Kagome, are you alright?" Inuyasha asked concerned.

Yeah, I'm fine," Kagome replied. "I'm just shaken up a little, but otherwise fine. Inuyasha, look out!" Inuyasha, noticing why Kagome cried out, quickly grabbed her and jumped out-of-the-way as Saya came down.

She quickly rolled out of the as the demon tried to stomp on her. Saya grabbed another stick and tried to struck the demon on its nose, but it didn't have any effect. She grabbed another stick and stabbed it in its nose, making it roar and blood coming out of it. Everyone watched in interest as she started battling this demon. They were debating on whether or not they should help her since she's Naraku's henchmen, but that quickly changed as the cerberus use its broken arm to push Kagome right into its mouth.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed out yet again. Saya wasted no time to climb into the monster's mouth and force her way in. Seeing that the girl was unconscious, Saya jabbed one of her sticks into the monster's mouth. The demon roared in pain as it tried to bite down, but couldn't. Inuyasha quickly grabbed Kagome out of there as Saya went straight down its throat.

"What is she doing?" Sango asked as they all watched in shock and disgust as she crawled down the demon's guts.

"Trying to get herself killed," Koga snidely remarked. Saya kept crawling down the demon's throat into she came to a certain spot. Her eyes turned red, and she quickly jabbed her other stick down the glowing spot until it reached the demon's heart. Everyone watched as the cerberus cried out in agony as blood spurted out of its mouth.

"Man, what is she doing in there?" a shaking Shippo asked. They all watched as the beast gave another cry and fell over. Saya placed her hand on top of the stick, and forcibly pushed it down, making go right through the cerberus's heart, and coming out of its front. Everyone saw blood rapidly gash out as they saw the stick come out of where its heart lays. The beast gave another cry and fell down dead.

Saya came out of its mouth. Inuyasha and Koga's nose wrinkled in disgust. Saya reached inside her kimono, and pulled out two jewel shards and threw them towards Koga. He caught them and put them in his legs.

"Why did you give Koga back his jewel shards?" Miroku asked her as Saya picked up her sword and sheath it.

"Because he seemed really weak and useless without," Saya simply replied. Koga growled out in anger and Inuyasha snickered a little. "I'll be on my way now. Goodbye." She turned and started walking away.

"Wait, we're not through, yet," Inuyasha called out to her, but it fell on deaf ears as she vanished into thin air.

"She's gone," Sango said. Koga looked down on his legs where his jewel shards were. Why did she give him back his shards?

"Hey, mutt!" Koga called out. Inuyasha growled at being called a mutt. "There something's fishy about her. If I were you I keep an eye out on her.

"Why is that, Koga?" Miroku asked.

"Because something about her seems slightly different from Naraku and his other incarnations." Koga towards the sky. It was starting to get dark. Is it that late already. Koga sighed. "Well, I love to stay and chat, but I got to go and heal my wounds." He turned towards Inuyasha. "You better take good care of my Kagome the next time I get back." After that Koga ran off with his minions following behind him.

"What did you say?!" Inuyasha yelled out after him. "Get back here, you coward!"

"Inuyasha, calm down," Sango said.

"Sango's right," Miroku said. "We need to find somewhere to sleep for the night, so we could discuss about this peculiar new enemy in the morning." Inuyasha knew that Miroku was right. They needed to get some rest. They looked down at Kagome's unconscious body and sighed. He was so close to losing her twice. Why was he so weak? Why didn't he try harder to save and protect her? And what was up with their new enemy? Why did she save Kagome? Come to think of it when they first arrived Koga was cover in wounds, but none of them looked fatal enough to kill him. Why is that? Why would one of Naraku's incarnation let Koga live, let alone give him back his shards, and save Kagome? It doesn't make sense. So many questions rang inside his head. He gave out a short yawn. They could always discuss this in the morning. Inuyasha fell asleep and everyone did so, too, wondering about their Naraku's new incarnation.
