*500 Years into the past*

"It isn't just him. My Lady, you are having twins!" the midwife said.

"T-twins?" the lady said bewildered. "How wonderful"

The lady delivered the second child, a beautiful daughter, who looked identical to her first born son. "My children. My beautiful children."

"HE'S HERE!" the guards yelled from outside the birthing room.

"My darling? Oh let him in! Hurry!" the lady said.

The great Dog general walked into the room. "Izayoi. Are you well?" he said gruffly.

"My dearest yes. We have twins!"

Twins? How did I not sense the second child? The general thought to himself.

"Inuyasha."

"My Lord?" Izayoi asked confused.

"His name will be Inuyasha. Her name will be…Alivia." He said before rushing into the birthing tent. "Quickly, give me the girl. She is not safe here." He said in despair as he sensed his enemy arriving.

"Izayoi, I must take Alivia to a safer place, you and Inuyasha will live long and well. I have to ensure she will as well." He said somberly.

"But does this mean I will not have my daughter?" she said quietly.

"Do not fret you and Inuyasha will live, and I WILL make sure Alivia does too. Good bye Izayoi." The great dog demon Inu No Taisho said as he walked out of his son and lover's lives for good.

The demon flew fast and quickly towards the great falls. He knew that she would have to go through the falls to live. "My daughter Alivia. You will live a wonderful life and when the time is right, you will return to this world. Both of your brothers will be here and once they sense the truth behind you, everything will work out in time. My wonderful daughter, you will be the most like me of my three children it will be you that they see me in. My demonic priestess. I love you." The Great Dog Demon said to his daughter, who opened her eyes for the first time. The Dog Lord looked on in awe as the child's eyes swirled with a mix of purple and gold. Soothing the girl, he lured her back to sleep as he gently laid her in the waters basin, along with a small box. As her body was engulfed in a purple light The Great Inu No Taisho let his true self soar as he fought his last battle to protect his family for eternity.

Present day:

I sat up in my bed the next morning. Wow what a strange dream. I thought to myself as I sat up and looked at the clock 5:57am. It's my birthday! I am finally 19! I quickly jumped out of bed and ran silently to the bathroom to shower and dress for the day. I am normally an early riser as it is so this wasn't much earlier than usual. I could hear my parents chuckling tiredly about something from their room on the first floor as I showered. They can't hide anything from me, they learned that the hard way when I overheard them talking about my surprise birthday party when I turned 8 from my room when they were in the well house.

I walked back to my room after my shower, letting my wet hair drip across the floor. I went to my closet trying to decide what I wanted to wear for the day. I caught a glimpse of the pendant laying on my vanity and knew exactly what I was going to wear. I pulled out a new short-long flowing maroon skirt and a flowing long sleeved off the shoulders white shirt which was tight fitting around the waist and showed maybe a centimeter of my tanned toned stomach. I grabbed a pair of white gladiator sandals and put them by the door. I went over to my vanity and brushed my long silver hair drying it as I went. My hair is naturally straight and silky, my bangs sliced across my forehead were starting to get too long, so I decided to touch them up, making the area over my eyes a bit shorter, so my bangs framed my forehead and eyes. I applied some eyeliner and mascara, the only make up I wear on a daily basis, and went to grab Bunches. As I went to grab Bunches, something shocked me. "Ow. What was that for?" I said out loud rubbing my hand. Apparently I wasn't supposed to wear Bunches today. I picked up the new pendant and it pulsed warmly in my hand. I went to my mirror and slowly clasped the pendant around my neck.

As soon as it clasped and I let go, my entire body pulsed with the pendant. I could feel my spiritual powers intensify and my demonic energy began to flow more freely through my body. For a moment I was worried that I had unleashed my inner demon. I realized that even though I felt more demonic, I had total control. Maybe this is what a true half demon feels like with their true powers unsuppressed? A few seconds later, my power began to die down. I could feel it just under the surface, but I wasn't overwhelmed anymore. Opening my eyes, I noticed my reflection in the mirror had not changed. Wait, it DIDN'T change? I could still see my silver hair, violet eyes, the demon markings aligning my face and the rest of my body, and very demon dog ears on top of my head! Not a second after I freaked out, my appearance changed. It would seem that I could control my appearance without having to take the pendant off. Hmm…I wonder what else this new pendant can do. I thought to myself as I put my shoes on and grabbed my bag before skipping down the stairs.

I skipped into the kitchen, seeing Liam sitting at the island drinking coffee and barely seemed awake. "Good morning brother dear!" I said cheerfully as I walked to the fruit basket and plucked myself out an apple.

"Someone is extremely cheerful this morning." He grumbled tiredly.

"Of course! Did you forget what today is?" I said giving him a shocked look. Liam is not the forgetful type, even if he isn't a morning person.

"Of course not Liv! How could I forget my only sister's birthday? It's not like I'm reminded every year!" he said laughing and pulling me into a giant "Liam hug."

"Good. Because I expect you to take me to the place tonight!" I said in a mock serious tone as I bit into my apple.

"Every year. I know I know! It's a tradition and I would never break tradition!" Liam said crossing his heart and pinky promising me.

I laughed as I clasped my pinky to his before hopping up and going out the door. "See you later Liam!" I yelled back before shutting the door.

I made my way to the road, passing the well house next to the spiritual waterfall. When I passed the waterfall, my pendant began to pulse. I could feel as if there was something there. I walked over to the basin and thought I saw a shadow. "Who's there?" I called out. With no response I thought that I had imagined it. I turned to leave and right as I walked away I felt something grab me and pull me back towards the waterfall. The last thing I saw was the waterfall turning purple, and everything went black.

For some reason I felt my inner beast stirring. 'What is the meaning of this?' I wondered. 'She is near' my beast responded. 'Who?' I said back but did not get a response. I rolled my eyes, my beast is such a stubborn fool. I continued back towards my pack, I had a woman to confront about getting rid of these birds of paradise, I don't care if she travels with a dirty mutt; I will have her assistance!

As I went back into the caves I sensed a new aura near the waterfall. It smelled of vanilla and berries. There was something oddly familiar about this aura but I was too distracted by the wonderful scent to figure out what it was. I silently made my way closer to the waterfall and what I saw made my blood run cold. Laying at the edge of the waterfall's basin, I saw a girl with long black hair who appeared to be unconscious. I walked up to the girl and nudged her with my foot, "Hey wake up!" with no response I decided to pull her out of the water. As I pulled her out I saw that she was wearing a weird version of what must be priestess garb. Only priestesses usually wear white and red. Although her red was a darker shade, it was still red. As I turned her over my heart skipped a beat and my beast stirred again. The girl was beautiful. Even more beautiful than that priestess I captured, Kagome. I carefully picked up the girl bridal style and made my way into the caves, carefully trying not to jostle her in case she had any internal injuries. As I walked into the cave, I could hear my pack whistling at me and making absurd comments. "Hey Kouga! What is it with you and bringing in human women lately?" One called out. Ginta came up to me and quietly asked "he is right, what is going on? You already have Kagome in the dungeons and will use her to get rid of the birds of paradise, what is this girl for?"

"Quiet! I don't have to explain anything to you now go back on watch with Hakkaku!" I barked at Ginta, who in turn bolted to the entrance to the caves.

I made my way through the intricate caves until I reached the dungeons where Kagome was kept prisoner. I would have to come back and retrieve her when it was time to fight those damn birds. As soon as I came into the light of the torch Kagome was instantly on her feet. "Who do you think you are!? Inuyasha will be here any second and you'll be sorry you kidnapped me in the first place!" she screeched at me.

"Ha! As if that mangy mutt could do anything to harm me. You going back on your word beautiful? I thought we had an agreement. You help me with the birds of paradise, and I'll make you my wife." I said to her as if it was the simplest agreement.

"What! Wait. Who is that?" Kagome asked me as I put the unconscious girl in the dungeon near her.

"Who knows? But I found her on my lands and I want to question how she found my caves and how she got past the guards." I answered shrugging before locking them both in the caves and walking back to the main cave despite Kagome calling after me.

I could feel myself coming out of the black unconsciousness. The last thing I remember was falling, no being pulled into the waterfall. I sat up and held my head brushing past where my ears should be. "What?" I said out loud to myself as I felt over my very human body. That's right. This new pendant lets me control my disguise easily. I then realized that I was not alone. I turned to look at the person who was in this place with me. It was a girl, she had to be a year or two younger than myself, but she was really pretty. With my demonic senses I could see perfectly in the dim light and saw that she had waist length black hair and warm chocolate brown eyes.

"Hello" the girl said to me warmly.

"Uhm Hi. I'm Alivia." I said awkwardly.

"Alivia? That sounds normal!" the girl blurted out.

"Uhhh yeah? It is kind of a common name." I said giving her a weird look.

"Oh sorry! My name is Kagome. This is going to sound weird, but do you know where you are?" she asked me.

I looked around and sniffed the air and realized that nothing was familiar here. "No…nothing is familiar to me." I answered her.

"Would you believe me if I told you I wasn't from here?" she suddenly asked me.

I got up and walked over to sit near her, "What do you mean? Obviously if you were from here you wouldn't be in this weird prison thing." I said.

"No I mean…im not from this time."

"What? Time? What are you going on about?" I said giving her a strange look. The more I talked to her, the weirder things got.

"This is feudal era Japan…500 years in the past from where I am from." She said. "I fell through the well in my shrine on my 15th birthday and well…long story short, I ended up here." She said.

"Wait, you fell through your well? You live on a shrine!?" I asked bewildered as to how similar it sounded to what just happened to me.

"Yes. I live in present day Tokyo, the year is 2014 where I am from." She said.

"2014…wait you mean to tell me this is not 2014 and I am not in some cave that is behind my waterfall on the shrine that I live in, in present day 2014 Okinawa?" I said bewildered.

"You're from Okinawa? That is not too far from my home!" she said out loud.

We continued to swap stories for a while until I was convinced that what she was saying was true, I wasn't in my home, I was in a place where demons exist and that somehow my waterfall was connected to this place. We had continued to talk when I suddenly sensed an aura coming quickly. I tensed as the aura got closer until I heard a childlike voice whisper, "Kagome? Kagome are you still there?"

"Shippo? Shippo I am in here!" Kagome said in an excited hushed voice. No sooner had she spoke a small demon came through the bars and launched at Kagome.

"Kagome? Who is the pretty lady over there? She smells good." He said in a hushed whisper not knowing that I could hear him.

"Shippo, this is Alivia and she is like me, not from this time. She is really nice." She said to Shippo who in turn jumped over to my shoulder.

"Hi. I'm the great fox demon Shippo!" he said puffing out his chest which made me giggle.

"The great fox demon huh? Well it is nice to meet you Shippo. How did you get past the wolf demons that I hear are guarding this place?" I asked him curiously.

"Oh that reminds me. Kagome! Inuyasha is on his way! So is Sango and Miroku! Ever since we got separated Inuyasha has been going crazy trying to find you." He said. I looked over at Kagome and gave her a confused look. She looked very happy and excited.

"Who is Inuyasha?" I asked. For some reason that name meant something to me, at least it meant something because my pendant pulsed lightly at the mention of him.

"Oh Inuyasha is a companion of ours! He's a half dog demon with cute little dog ears on top of his head! He's strong, hotheaded, has a very bad temper, stubborn as a mule…" I let Kagome continue to ramble on about this Inuyasha person before she waved her hand in front of my face, "Hello? Alivia?" I jumped before looking at her as she continued, "I know this is going to sound weird, but you kind of look like him. Well when he is human that is." She said.

"Huh?" I said finally grasping what she was saying.

"Kagome, I don't think Inuyasha would be too happy to hear that you are telling her about him." Shippo said. "Not that you would ever seem like the kind of person who would betray anyone!" he added quickly.

"It's okay Shippo, I know what you mean." I said smiling at him. I was very familiar with the nights that half demons lose their demonic powers. I lose my powers four times a year; when the seasons change. A few seconds later I felt my pendant pulsing again as I began to sense a strong aura coming towards us. The scent was very familiar, woodsy and musky, like my pendant! There has to be some kind of connection! Maybe he knows who my parents are!

No sooner had the scent appeared a man who looked to be around my age came crashing through the dungeon doors, "Kagome!" the man said. As he stood up I felt my blood run cold, unless my eyes were deceiving me, I was looking at the male version of myself, minus my demonic markings, in my true form.

The half demon, Inuyasha, didn't even spare me a glance as he ran to Kagome. "Kagome are you okay?" he said.

"I'm fine. But we have to do something before Kouga comes back!" she said.

"That damn wolf didn't do anything to you did he?" he asked gruffly before turning and realizing I was also in the dungeon. "Oi who is this? Another one of Kouga's kidnapped?" he said peering at me.

"Inuyasha this is Alivia, she is like me, from the future." Kagome said coming over to me and squeezing my hand warmly. I smiled at her before looking back to Inuyasha as he snorted and mumbled something about future women.

"Look here girl, stay outta the way got it? I protect Kagome and just because you two are buddy-buddy now doesn't mean I'll protect you either." He barked at me.

"Inuyasha! SIT BOY!" Kagome said angrily and Inuyasha fell to the ground. I looked at his crushed body with wide eyes as Kagome apologized for his behavior. "He really is a big softie underneath his hard demeanor. I swear!" she said.

I was about to respond when I sensed a different aura coming back, it smelled like pine, fresh and clean. My pendant pulsed and my inner beast stirred. My eyes widened as I felt her stir, it has been a very long time since she has stirred and she only ever responded when something was super important.

"Hey what the hell is going on here?" I heard Inuyasha say quietly. I whipped my head around and noticed my long hair was silver as it whipped behind me. I looked down at my hands and saw my nails had grown, my fangs had grown and my ears were obviously on top of my head. Everything became 1000 times clearer than it had been seconds earlier. It would appear that my hiding as a human was over.

Inuyasha marched right up to me and said, "Oi just who the hell are you? It's obvious you aren't human, so you must be half demon. So how is it you looked human when it wasn't even the new moon?" he barked at me.

At that moment in time, the other aura I felt had finally made its way to the dungeon. What I saw made my beast stir again. Standing in the doorway to what used to be the dungeon, was a tall wolf demon, he had long black hair held in a high pony tail on top of his head. He was tan skinned, strong hard muscles lined his body, what was exposed anyways. He had piercing blue eyes, which were currently looking in her direction in awe and interest.

"Hey! Mutt Face what are you doing in here!?" the demon said after looking away and at Inuyasha. His features had hardened and turned guarded.

"Wolf I'm here for Kagome kay? So we'll just be on our way now." Inuyasha growled.

"Hey wait! I promised Kouga that I would help him defeat the birds of paradise since I can see the jewel shards!" Kagome protested.

"Jewel shards?" I questioned not realizing I had said this out loud.

"It's a long story Alivia, I'll fill you in later." Kagome said to me before turning back to Inuyasha and Kouga who were growling at each other.

"Would you two knock it off!? Just standing here growling at each other isn't going to help either of us okay? Now let's go!" Kagome said and marched off towards what I assumed was the front of the cave.
-

Inuyasha peered at me for a moment before whispering quiet enough for Kagome not to hear, "I don't know who you are or why you just changed from human to demon but I am going to hear it later got it? I also wanna know why you look and smell like me so don't think you're off the hook just yet." And with that, Inuyasha turned and went after Kagome. I made a move to follow when the wolf demon, Kouga, stepped right in front of me.

"Who are you? And why do you look different than when I found you huh? You are demon now and you definitely were human when I found you. Speaking of that, what were you doing in my lands and how did you manage to sneak by without being seen?" he asked question after question, not even giving me the chance to respond. Since I was not hidden behind human guards, his questions easily irritated me and made me start growling.

"Would you just stop already!? Damn! Look here wolf boy I don't have to tell you anything that I don't want to! You can't just go bombarding me with all of these questions and not even give me a second to answer without asking another one! Would you just back off and let me breathe!?" I snapped at him angrily, which made him physically take a step back.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap like that. It's just, a lot has happened to me in such a short time and I don't even know what to think!" I said quietly, my voice wavering as I held in pent up tears.

"Hey now, you don't need to go crying! I didn't mean anything of it I just had to make sure you weren't a threat or a spy!" he said blushing awkwardly.

"Really? You aren't going to do anything to me?" I sniffled.

"No look here, you are obviously some kind of demon, and you obviously are confused so why don't we get out of these dank dungeons and head back to the main caves? I'll even give ya a ride if you'd like. You look exhausted." He said before gently pulling me off of the ground and onto his back as if I weighed nothing.

"Whoa!" I gasped clutching at him as he took off. I could see the smirk on his face from startling me. As soon as I felt like I was safe, I relaxed my grip and laid my head on his shoulder. I took a deep breath to relax and my senses were filled with his scent again. It was pine, fresh and clean. In a way it was similar to Inuyasha's, but there was a distinct difference. For whatever reason though, it made my beast stir again.

"Hold on tight sweet cheeks, I'm fast." He said cheekily before taking off in a whirl. I clutched at him and buried my face deeper in his neck, I know I can see everything perfectly even when going this fast, but it still is a new experience for me.

Once we finally stopped, Kouga sat me down gently. Once I was sure I was on the ground I exploded. "Who do you think you are huh!? Swooping down and grabbing me and then taking off like that! I may only be half demon but I KNOW demons shouldn't be able to go that fast!"

Instead of backing off, Kouga smirked at me, "I told you I was fast didn't I?"

Before I could reply, a big ugly wolf demon came over to us, "What is this? A half demon in the tribe? A half DOG demon nonetheless?" he sneered at me. "You sure are a pretty little thing though I'll give you that. What a tiny little thing! I wouldn't mind having some fun with you, despite your heritage." He said lustily and went to grab me.

"What the heck!? Who do you think you are!?" I said, smacking his hand away from me. Unbeknownst to myself, my pendant not only released my demon senses, it opened my spiritual blocks as well, causing me to act in defense and lightly burn the demon.

"Ouch! Wench! What the hell are you!" he said, rubbing his hand.

Kouga chuckled before replying, "Oh Hotori, did she scratch you with her claws? Serves you right for not being on the defense."

"No! The damn wench burned me!" he said, which caused all of the wolves in the area to become tense.

Kouga narrowed his eyes at Hotori and then turned to look at me. "Is that true? Did you burn him?"

"I-I suppose I did." I stuttered and then stood up straight and proud, "That's right. I did. He deserves it for intruding on my space, you are all wolves aren't you?" I felt as if my inner beast had taken control of me as I addressed the entire group. "You all should know better than any other demon how territorial you are. And Dogs are not that different no matter how much you protest. I am not a threat to you but if you threaten me I will be on the defense and now that you know I am also a priestess you all should think twice about attacking me." I finished.

The wolves all looked at me before exploding in outrage. "Quiet! That's enough! SHUT YOUR TRAPS!" Kouga boomed and everyone was silent once more. "As your leader I will say this once and only once. NONE of you are to approach or even think about threatening Alivia here got it? Disobey my orders and I won't protect you from her wrath, or mine." He growled out. The other wolves automatically submitted to him before dispersing. Kouga took my arm not too gently and took me off to the corner of the cave. "Why didn't you say you were a priestess?" he growled.

"It never came up. None of you were even supposed to know I am a half demon in the first place." I said.

"Why and how are you able to change your appearance? Is it a power that only powerful priestesses can do?" he questioned.

"No…You see this?" I paused, lifting my pendant up to him, "This was given to me for my 19th birthday." When Kouga gave me a confused look I sighed and said, "My 190th year in demon years, it is 19 in human years. Anyways, this pendant was left to me by my parents and it contains my true power, it is a part of me and before, I had a concealment charm that enabled me to alter my appearance whenever I would wear it. This pendant allows me to control which appearance I want to use without having to take off the pendant." I explained.

Kouga was quiet for a few minutes before snorting. "So it's kinda like a seal? I know that Half demons have trouble controlling their demonic blood which is why most of them have something to control it, I imagine that your pendant not only does that, but it might have released your true form if you say you have to conceal your true self." He said.

"Well maybe, I never thought of it that-" I was interrupted as a loud ruckus was being made by the cave entrance. I could smell that musky woodsy smell that only belonged to one person; Inuyasha. Kouga narrowed his eyes before grabbing my wrist and pulling me along behind him towards the cave front. My eyes widened as I looked at his hand around my wrist. What is he doing? Does he not realize I am capable of walking myself? I rolled my eyes and just followed behind instead of making a scene, besides, Inuyasha was already doing a pretty good job of it.

We got to the cave entrance to see Inuyasha and Kagome, as well as two other humans, a huge fire cat, and Shippo, surrounded by wolves. "Hey Dog boy what are you still doing here? And why do you have my woman with you!?" he growled to Inuyasha.

"Feh as if I would come back willingly to this place. It reeks of wolves and I'm not too particularly fond of the smell. I came back because Kagome insisted." Inuyasha said.

"We came back for Alivia! And to keep my promise of helping you get rid of the Birds of Paradise." Kagome said giving me a smile.

I was shocked to say the least. They actually came back for me? I didn't think anyone would ever do that! I just met Kagome today and she's already treating me like I'm a pack member! Kouga must have felt me stiffen and he of course, interpreted it wrong. "Ha as if. Does it look like she wants to go with you? I don't blame her, she could go with you and your mangy mutt, or she could stay here with a real man." He said, puffing out his chest and putting an arm around me.

Normally, if a guy hits on me, I laugh and brush it off, but for some reason, his insult to Inuyasha affected me and I reacted by lightly burning Kouga enough to make him take his arm off of me. "Ow! What the-? Alivia what was that for?" he growled at me, anger apparent in his eyes.

"I don't appreciate your implications. You don't speak for me!" I said, "Now what exactly needs to be done about these Birds?" I said which caused the conversation to change to planning and preparing for battle.
