Parings: Kagome/Inuyasha, Kagome/Sesshomaru

Disclaimer: I do not own the Inuyasha characters for every chapter. But I do own this twisted plot!! YAY!!

"Stay away!" Kagome screamed as she climbed a rough hill with dirt trailing behind her heels as she stumbles to run faster. Pursuing her was no other than a demon caterpillar and its hungry rage for a certain Sacred Jewel that happened to sleep within Kagome.

"No! I must have the Jewel!" The demon fumed. It then dived straight at Kagome but missed and sent her flying and right under the Sacred Tree where a demon watched in amusement. He glowered down at the pitiful sight in front of him and spoke, "Hello Kikyo. Playing with demons I see. Why don't you kill it like you did me?" Kagome heard a deep and slightly raspy voice directed in her direction and looked up to see the boy from before. He was awake and staring right at her with a fierce look. He also wore an impatient glow to her slow response. "Who's Kikyo?" Kagome thought but only replied to the demon, she now realized his demonic nature, with, "So you're awake, huh? I see…" Her mind now drifted away from the other demon as she stood and brushed off the minor bruises and dirt from her skirt.

"Hm? Why are you taking your time Kikyo?" The demon grunted. Kagome was annoyed and she had enough.

"Ugh! Kikyo! Kikyo! Whoever you're talking about isn't me because I'm-"

"She's here." The demon interrupted. "Huh?!" Kagome was almost dazed but realized a moment later who he was talking about. Kagome swiftly turned around to see the demon caterpillar rushing up to her side to attack when a dozen arrows came and pined half the demon to the ground. Kagome was already in a defensive stance to try channeling her energy again. "Oh…so I was saved after all." Kagome sighed

"What's the matter with you Kikyo?" the demon implied.

"Okay! That's it! Kikyo, whoever she is, is most certainly not me alright?!" Kagome yelled as she marched face to face with the demon with a displeasing glance.

"And I say you have to be her, because there is no way you can smell so much like----!" Kagome was so close the demon got a chance to smell more closely of Kagome and flushed in embarrassment when he realized he was wrong. The normal sweet scent of Kikyo was overpowered by warm sweeter scent of something familiar he couldn't quite put his finger on. He almost purred a strange sound between a growl and droning sound but stopped and composed his composure.

"Your not her." He announced in a shocking and almost slurring voice.

"Yeah! I know! My name is Kagome! KA-GO-ME!"

"Yeah your right. Kikyo was cuter. Much cuter." The demon mocked which Kagome didn't notice.

"Why you?!" Kagome fumed in her thoughts.

"Enough of this." The caterpillar demon shouted and grabbed Kagome by the waist with her free arm and tried forcefully removing the Jewel and Kagome reached out and grabbed the boy's hair in front of her.

"Let go!" Kagome yelled.

"Ow-ow-ow!! Why don't you let go?!" The boy screamed.

"I must have the Sacred Jewel!" said the caterpillar demon.

"The Sacred Jewel?" Thought the boy.

"Enough of this! There is no way You-Will-Get-This-Jewel!!" Kagome then freed one of her hands from the boy's hair and channeled her spiritual energy straight at the caterpillar demon's arm, burning it off.

"I must protect this Jewel no matter what! Huh? What is-? No!" Kagome looked down and saw the jewel was glowing fiercely and confirming its location at her lower waist. The demon smirked and stretched out two of its other free hands and threw Kagome in the air before she could react and torn threw her flesh where the jewel was located.

"Uh...No! The jewel!" Kagome cried in her head.

Kagome then heavily landed on the ground with the jewel mere inches from her right hand. The demon looked up satisfied and hungrily at the jewel and tore from the ground and headed toward the jewel.

"Uh! No way demon! Just because this jewel is released from my body doesn't mean I'll let you take it so easily!" Kagome then reacted and grabbed the Jewel in her right hand and produced a barrier around her body a moment before the demon came close enough to hit the surface and bounce back as it slowly tore away the flesh of the demon. Kagome forgot about her own injury and blood was seeping away through her clothes and across the lush grass.

"The jewel! I must obtain you obnoxious little wench! You should not interfere or your life will be prolonged!" The demon exclaimed as she repeatedly hits the barrier and her flesh discards more and more. In the background, one new demon and a half-demon were intriguingly watching the battle for the jewel.

"She's as strong and skilled, if not better, as Kikyo yet she's not Kikyo. This girl, Kagome, is protecting the jewel with her life when she could just throw it at the demon and possibly live. Feh, not as if the demon would come and slaughter her later anyway." Thought the half-demon. The other demon, however, didn't think more or less of the fight as he observed this new mysterious girl who came out of no where, but through a well.

----------

Sesshomaru was walking through the Forest of Inuyasha in mid-day sulking about his current sword. Of course no one could really tell of his anger or depression because of his usual emotionless mask. Sesshomaru always wore his mask for it was the perfect defense against enemies in battle and it kept well, favorable, distance toward anyone who wanted to stay too close to him. Sesshomaru despised humans and weak demons. He aims to become the most a powerful demon, as his deceased father use to be, but he couldn't do that with his previous sword that just happened to be past down to him from his father. This sword hung loosely at his waist and almost begged to be used but all it was useful for was bringing one hundred souls back to life in one sweep. There were also two other swords his father possessed and were more powerful. One of them was the sword of hell that could summon hundreds of dead souls and the other was the sword of men. That sword could kill a hundred souls in one mighty sweep. Sesshomaru sword could never trigger such destruction and it questioned Sesshomaru to, why did his father give him such a useless sword? This made him fume towards his father and now here he was. Walking through a forest to find a swordsman to create him a new, powerful, and worthy sword. This fact also puzzled Sesshomaru.

Why was he in this forest? He hadn't been here in years and knew he could find nothing of importance or information here. Sesshomaru was now at the edge of the forest near a clear field, a strange and powerful aura was felt within the field. Strange how he didn't sense it before but it just came from no where. He looked up with his emotionless mask in place and faced towards a well. 'A strange place' he thought. But after a few seconds of waiting and staring at the side of the well a young woman poked out of the well with a perplexed look of shock and ahh. She seemed human, no doubt and a possible outsider. What could she have been doing in the well? And what was with the peculiar clothing? For a moment when he wasn't looking he thought he felt her look in his direction but her face turned to complete relief as she ran a few feet ahead of him in the center of the forest.

Curiosity hit Sesshomaru as he followed her into the forest and watched as she suddenly stopped and stared up towards a tree and studied it thoroughly as a boy was perched in the center, pierced by an arrow. "Inuyasha…hmph." Sesshomaru said to the air. His foolish younger half brother that was betrayed by a young human priestess and led to his demise. When Sesshomaru looked up again he saw the girl as if she were debating with herself and had a weird sheepish look on her face. She then reached her hands forward and touched his half brother's, Inuyasha, ears. Very surprising to Sesshomaru he felt a tinge of jealousy. Not knowing why he just ignored the feeling and resumed his curiosity and watched as the girl composed her self and spoke. Her voice sounded gentle and innocent but also stern and could be quite authoritative when she was angry. After this thought a quiver of arrows came right at her and Sesshomaru flinched forward to protect her but it seems she was capable of that herself. Sesshomaru himself didn't know what was wrong with him to have these sudden urges and emotions when the girl took a simple motion. Once again he just ignored them and watched as the girl left and took no notion to follow for he knew where she was going by the look of the men.

---------------

Sesshomaru still doesn't understand his strange reactions from before and pushed it behind him.

Kagome was struggling with the barrier and knew she couldn't hold it for too long and thought of a way to finish this demon and for good. Simply channeling her energy through her arm wasn't enough. It only tore away at the demon it didn't severely harm it enough. If only she had her bow and arrows. She then had a thought and looked towards Inuyasha at the tree and waited till the caterpillar demon attacked once more and released her barrier and sent it at the demon to distract it from her sudden disappearance from the battle. Kagome jumped towards Kaede and bowed then swiftly took the bow and ran away. Kaede was shocked and slightly puzzled at her strange actions but Kagome ignored that and ran towards the tree and grabbed the arrow piercing the Inuyasha.

"Sorry, gotta borrow this." Kagome spoke hastily. The arrow then slid out but disappeared. Oh, great…Kagome thought. Wait! I can…yes! Kagome looked up sternly at the caterpillar demon that just so happened was still looking for her. She breathed in a deep breathe and wavered a little from her energy being drained but composed herself to focus in the demon. I can faint later. Kagome raised the bow and strung it back and as she pulled back more and more a pink arrow appeared and sparked wildly. With extreme focus Kagome aimed and shouted towards the demon.

"Hey! Miss Caterpillar! Let's end this quarrel!" Kagome then released and a rancid scream was heard from the caterpillar demon as it fell and melted till' there was only bones and the smell of rotten flesh left. Kagome took on a weak smile and whispered so tiny only her and another demon really heard her. She fainted right there and embraced the quiet darkness into deep sleep. She didn't even feel or hear the soft landing of her body in strong arms or the cackling of a free half demon.
