Inuyasha was walking closer to the ship. He couldn't believe how great the ship looked. Sure, he had heard a bunch of things about the ship. But what he heard hadn't done it justice. It was a old model, made of wood instead of the usual steel. But it had some guns on the bow. Cannons on the sides like any other pirate ship. He didn't see any flags of any sort. Shrugging that off, he made his way to the ship. A small voice called to him. Looking up, he saw Rin saying "hey Inuyasha! Hurry up and get on! We're leaving!"

Nodding, Inuyasha started to head to the transport. But, he froze. Something was coming. Looking around, he saw something. Something coming from the ground. He may not be able to see it, but he could senseit. A demon was coming and fast. Just before he could get closer to the transport. He felt something grab him. Struggling, Inuyasha said "son of a!" He had to get away. He knew that this demon wanted something. It wanted food. And he was the main course.

Grabbing his sword, it transformed into it's true form. Slashing the clawed hand of the demon, Inuyasha landed on the sand. Staring at the black beady eyes of a grey demon. It was almost like a serpent. Small black eyes. Long sharp teeth. And long arms that looked like a tentacle. As it struck to get the young boy again, Inuyasha jumped in the air. Slashing it's arm in half. There was no way that he was going to be on the menu today. He has too much ahead for him.

"Run Inuyasha! We have to get outta here!" Screamed Rin in panic.

Nodding, Inuyasha placed his sword back in it's hilt. He knew that he had to get on the ship. Or he really was a dead man. Too bad for him, as he ran back toward the ship, the transport was moving toward the ship. He didn't have enough time to grip the metal bars to pull himself up. "Damn it!" Screamed Inuyasha as he tried to find another way to get on the ship. He knew there had to be one way. He had about the ship a few times. There were a few openings about the ship. But those were hidden by the sand at the moment.

So those were out.

Then, Inuyasha saw the anchor. That could work. Running towards it, he tried to grab it. Only, the ship was moving. And the anchor was being pulled up. Growling, he jumped to try to grab it. Too bad, his super human abilities weren't working right now. Growling out "damn it!" Running toward the ship, hoping that he could jump to get to the ship, he looked over his shoulder to see that he was being followed by an army of those demons. Looking ahead of him, he said "I'm not about to... check out... now!"

"Sorry Inuyasha! We'll make sure to put up a nice tomb stone for ya!" Rin cried out.

"Damn it!"

Seeing more of the demons, Inuyasha tried running faster. He could feel his blood boil. His strength increasing. Along with his speed. That was something new. It couldn't be from being chased by demons. Then again... Weirder stuff has been happening. A strange surge of pain shot through him. Letting out a loud scream for one of the demon's smaller claws had just ran through his shoulder. All feeling in his left shoulder had left him. Glaring at the claw that was trying to pull him to the demon, he didn't think on what he did next. He swiped his hand at the claw. And it slashed the claw off, and out of his shoulder. His eyes widened.

Shaking his head, he kept running. Gripping his shoulder with his right hand. Screaming out "someone help me!" (I know, outta character but he's freaking out wouldn't you freak out if all these changes were happening to you?)

Suddenly, his ears picked up on something. He heard the engine of a... a hover bike? Looking at the sky, he saw a small figure. It was coming closer. And fast. Finally, he saw someone riding the bike. From what he could tell, it was a girl, long black hair. It seemed like she was wearing a green and white shirt. Sleeves that were attached by a long, thing strap. A hair clip on both sides of her head. A short skirt that seemed like it was white. He couldn't tell. And a long piece of cloth that was tied at her waist and flowed in the wind. She zipped past him.

He felt like screaming for that. How the hell could she just zip past him, and toward the demons?!

But then, he heard the sound getting closer again. It was getting closer, and closer. Finally, he heard a voice. It was soft, sweet and caring. "Take my hand." Turning his head, he saw the girl, she was holding her hand out toward him. Not thinking twice on that, he grabbed her hand and they took blight. It was hard for him to get a proper grip on the back of the bike with only one hand. But, he was still able to hold on tight. He could faintly see the demons trying to grab him.

Why was it that demons always want him to eat? Sure, they loved human blood, but they seemed to like his more then others. Why that was, he wasn't sure. Staring at the girl, he asked "just who are you?" His answer was a loud happy giggle.

Inuyasha was now in the infirmary. His wound to his shoulder didn't heal as fast as it normally did. The girl that had saved his life was tending to the wound. He was shirtless, sitting on the bed. He couldn't help but notice how soft her hands are... Of course, he wasn't going to say anything. Sighing, he asked "you never did tell me your name?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Kagome. It's nice to meet you Night Fang."

"I'm Inuyasha Tashino."

"Oh, okay Inuyasha." Said Kagome with a smile. She was placing a bandage on his shoulder. And started to wrap around his shoulder a long wrap to help keep the small white bandage in place. Inuyasha let out a small wince. He was glad for one thing. At least the bleeding stopped.

"So, why are you on this ship Kagome? You don't look like a pirate kinda girl to me." Inuyasha asked.

Kagome giggled saying "oh, I am a pirate. I was the first to join. Souta needed someone to join him, so I offered too."

"How do you know Captain Souta?" Asked Inuyasha, now curious.

"He's my older brother."

"Say what?"

Smiling, Kagome said "he's my older brother. He's all I've got left so I became a pirate to stay with him."

Inuyasha couldn't believe it. This girl seemed so sweet and yet she was a pirate... And the younger sister to theePirate Captain Souta. That was just so confusing. Sighing, Inuyasha grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head. When he got it on, he saw Kagome staring at him. And that was kinda weirding him out. "Um, you alright?" He asked, backing away a bit.

"I'm fine but... Inuyasha how come your eyes are gold? I mean, they look like a light gold now..." Kagome said, tilting her head to the side.

He blinked at that. Light gold? But his eyes are violet. Looking at the mirror across from the bed, he couldn't believe it. His eyes were normally a dark violet. But... this time they were lighter. Almost a very light gold. Shaking his head, he got up and started to walk out of the infirmary. Not bothering to take a glance at Kagome. He had to figure this out. First claws. Fangs, and now this? Okay sure, the claws disappeared and the fangs stayed. But the claws came back while fighting those demons.

What was wrong with him?

Sighing, he looked out the huge windows. He couldn't help but smile as he gazed at space. It was beautiful. Better then he ever thought it would be. To him, it was breath taking. Smiling, he walked over to the glass and stared out. Looking. Trying to remember this moment for the rest of his life. To engrave it into his mind. Suddenly, a voice broke his trance.

"Well, look at this. A mutt. Who the hell are you?"

Turning around, Inuyasha stared at a tall man, long brown hair pulled into a high ponytail. Wearing nothing but black and brown clothing. A brown shirt with black pants and a long black jacket. Sky blue eyes that burned holes through his very skull. Inuyasha glared as he said "my names Inuyasha. Not mutt."

"Like I give a damn. You smell like a mutt to me. I don't know why, you look like a normal human." Said the man.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Asked Inuyasha.

Rin walked between the bickering men saying "now now guys. Calm down. Inuyasha, this is Kouga, a hunter like you. He's known as 'The Wolf Of Death'. Like you, he was hand picked by Captain Souta."

Inuyasha stared at Kouga. For some reason, this guy gave him a bad feeling. Something about him was off. But what that was, he wasn't sure. There was just this strange vibe coming from the man. Something... something just wasn't right. Shaking his head, he said "so Rin, where are we headed anyway?" He stared at the girl, wondering where they were headed. Hell, if they were lucky, they'd be heading to a planet that was filled with demons. Lots of 'em.

"That's easy, we're heading to Kushimetama. The most advanced planet in the galaxy." Rin said with what he could guess was a smile. Still hard to tell with that scarf covering her mouth.

Blinking, Inuyasha just shrugged. That was better than nothing he suppose. Suddenly, the ship ended up shaking. Kirara ran to the control room saying "everyone! We've lost control over the ship! Demons took control and managed to damage the thrusters! We're caught in Aramitama's gravitational field!"

Inuyasha grabbed onto the closest thing he could. Thinking along the lines of 'oh shit!'

"Ugh... Man, I've never felt this kind of pain in my life..." Inuyasha said as he got up. Rubbing his shoulder, making sure that the wound hadn't started to bleed again he started to look around the ship. Hell, he's never seen a ship that looks this shitty not. Kagome started to stand up, shaky but she was alright. Too bad so was the wolf. Inuyasha would have been glad if Kouga got hurt from the crash.

Taking another look around, Inuyasha also saw that Kirara, and Rin were also alright. Along with the rest of the crew. Strange though, there wasn't a complain from the captain. Inuyasha had to wonder where the captain was. That was the only thing that made him wonder. Shrugging, with a small hiss of pain. Inuyasha asked "so, how is everyone?"

"I'm alright, are you though? Your still hurt." Kagome said, her voice filled with concern and worry.

Kouga grunted, that was the only responds Inuyasha was going to get. He stared at Kagome saying "I'm fine. A little sore still, but not from the crash." Staring at Kirara, and Rin, he asked "how about you two? You alright?"

"Yeah." Came the girl's replay.

Nodding, Inuyasha sat down. He wasn't sure why, but he felt tired. These things have been happening ever since he got that damn sword. He felt his blood boil more. Feel the desire to kill more as well. And, he was changing into... something. Not sure what, but it was something. Trying to help calm down his nerves, he was listening to what Kirara and Rin were saying to the others.

"It appears like we can fix the engines. But there's a problem. We don't have any booster oil... And there aren't any on this planet. Great, we had to land on 'The Demon Slayer's' Planet."

"Demon Slayers?" Inuyasha asked with confusion.

"Demon Slayers are people that are trained to hunt and kill demons. But they do everything the old fashioned way so they aren't advanced as the other planets. So, there aren't any shops here of any kind..." Kagome explained with a sigh.

"What are you? Idiots? Come on, there are some fruits here that are used for oil remember? The Fire Fruit, it's used to make the booster oil remember? Jeez, you are morons." Kouga said with a grunt. Oh how Inuyasha wanted to kick his ass.

Kagome smiled, telling everyone that her, Inuyasha and Kouga could all go and get the Fire Fruit and bring it back for the booster oil. That was the plan. A plan that Inuyasha could live without. But sadly, while Souta was out, Kagome was in charge. Which, meant that Inuyasha was screwed. Walking off of the ship with the transport, Inuyasha, Kouga, and Kagome all started to walk through the forest. It was deep, and dense. Kouga looked around. Inuyasha kept alert. And Kagome took the lead.

Inuyasha couldn't get his blood to stop burning. It felt hot under his skin. Magama burning in his veins. It was unbearable. Suddenly, Inuyasha heard movement, quickly grabbing his gun from it's holder on his leg, he shot to his left. Just hitting a small snake demon. Kouga and Kagome both stared at Inuyasha. Inuyasha stared at them, and shrugged and started walking again. Placing his gun back in it's holder.

Looking around, Inuyasha couldn't help but feel like there was something wrong with the place. Like... the scent of death. 'Wait... How can I smell something like that and know what it even smells like?'Shaking his head, he looked at the sky. The walk itself seemed like it was lasting forever. He had heard about other planets from Sesshoumaru... But not much else since he himself, hadn't left to see them for himself. Stayed home to look after Inuyasha.

Kagome saw the strange look on his face, asking "you okay Inuyasha? You seem kinda outta it."

"I'm fine. Just thinking of home... And my brother."

"You have a brother?"

"Kinda, we're not related by blood or anything... He found me when I was very young." Inuyasha explained it like it was an every day thing.

Then, he saw Kagome staring at him again. Something was up. What was with the staring anyway? Was there some kind of scar or something on his face? As far as he knew, the only thing on his face was his birthmark. Grabbing his gun, he stared at his reflection and saw that his eyes were dark violet again. What the hell? Something was up with him... Maybe he was coming down with some kind of disease that he might need looked at. This was just getting weird.

Placing his gun back, he said "Kagome, stop looking at me like that okay? I don't know what's going on." With that, he started to walk away again. So much was flowing through his mind. But he knew that he had a mission to do. And couldn't let those thoughts run him ragged. Kouga's voice brought him out of his thoughts.

"Strange. This part of the forest should be filled with Fire Fruit... Wonder where they all went..."

"Maybe a bunch of monkeys took them?" Kagome said with a head tilt.

"Nah, if what Kouga said was true about being filled with fruit, there's no group of monkeys big enough to take all of it. It's just common logic." Inuyasha said with his arms crossed over his chest.

Kouga smirked saying "the mutt finally gets it."

"Shut up you mangy wolf."

"Shut you mutt face."

"Shut up both of you."

Sighing, Inuyasha kept walking. Maybe if they were lucky, they could find some deeper in the jungle. That could be it right? They might be in the wrong part of the forest. There just had to be something... Something they could use for oil. Sure, this planet didn't have stores or anything cool. But this place had to have had something. But what? What could there be? Suddenly, something in Inuyasha's mind went off. A danger. "GET DOWN!" With that, he tackled Kagome, and Kouga went down. Just as metal stars hit the tree that they were standing in front of.

Inuyasha was glaring at the stars that were in bended in the tree. Faintly, he could hear Kagome's rapidly beating heart. He knew that she was scared for if he didn't act when he did... she would have been killed then and there. He could faintly smell something on those stars. Maybe poision? Standing up, along with helping Kagome to her feet, he asked "you alright?"

"Yeah, thanks Inuyasha." Kagome said with a slight smile. Trying to calm down. All Inuyasha could do was nod. Staring at Kouga, the man took one of the stars sniffing it. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes. Why would Kouga be sniffing it? Does he have the same idea on what he could smell too?

Kouga growled low in his throat saying "this stuff would kill a demon in ten seconds flat. A human, it would kill right then and there. Fast, and painless."

Inuyasha growled. Trying to think on who would try to attack them. He had to think. Something that Sesshoumaru had told him. But he couldn't remember. Suddenly, Kouga calmly explained "The Demon Slayers. They don't like outsiders. Why they would attack us, I'm unsure of. For, they don't attack humans. Unless they think the humans would be a threat." Inuyasha stared at Kouga. Thinking that the man was hiding something. But what ever that could be, he couldn't tell at the very moment. But his scent, it was different from his and Kagome's. Hell, he didn't even smell anything close to Kagome's scent now that he thinks about it-

'What the hell, how am I able to smell stuff like this?! What the hell am I a dog or something?'

"So Night Fang, what do you think. Should we go to the people that tried to kill us or go back?"

"That's a stupid question. If there's a village, then they might know about where we can get Fire Fruit. So, lets go to their village. I'm sure they're not that bad." Inuyasha calmly replied.

"Looks like we got us a dare devil." Said Kouga with a smirk.

Kagome nodded, and they all started to walk deeper in the forest.

"So, how do you think we'll get past this?" Kouga said, staring at a huge stone statue that blocked their path. They couldn't do around it. And couldn't go over it. It looked like a huge stone face. The teeth, being a button to open it. Inuyasha and Kagome just stared at it as they sat down for a rest. They've been walking through this forest for what seemed like hours. Maybe it has been. The sun was high in the sky, it must have been noon at least.

"Maybe someone with super human strength could move it?" Kagome suggested.

"Nah, there isn't anyone like that. And I'm stronger then anyone where I'm from. Even I can't move it." Kouga said, sitting down.

"Hmm..." Inuyasha muttered. He was thinking. Something inside him was telling him that he could do it. But, how? How the hell could he move something that big? That just didn't seem possible. Getting up, Inuyasha said "I'll move it." Kouga and Kagome both stared at him like he was crazy. He ignored them. Walking toward the gate, not sure what was pushing him forward. Some unknown force was at work with his body at the moment. His mind was in a strange, foggy haze.

Kagome ran up to him saying "Inuyasha are you nuts! You can't move that thing, not when your shoulder is still hurt. It hasn't had much time to heal remember." But then, he heard her gasp when he stared at her. Seeing his reflection in her eyes. He almost gasped himself. His eyes were glowing a bright gold. That was something new. Looking away, he looked at the statue. This was something that he had to do himself.

Placing his palms on the stone, he pressed the balls of his feet into the ground. Giving him some kind of leverage. Kouga's voice calmly said "give it up mutt. Like you could move that stone. No human ever could do that. Not alone anyway. It might take twenty humans to move that. Not one small human teen."

Suddenly, both Kagome and Kouga heard movement. The stone was moving!? Inuyasha had managed to push the stone all by himself?! But how!?

Inuyasha grinned saying "ha! I was able to move it. Take that Kouga." Kouga growled in the back ground. Inuyasha couldn't help but feel like a show off. But, then his grin faded. How was he able to move it anyway? It just didn't make any kind of sense at all. Shrugging, he calmly said "let's go. Maybe we can get to the village okay now?" As soon as he said that, he started to walk past the gate once it was fully opened.

Inuyasha though, he just couldn't get his mind off of how he was able to open the gate while no one else could. Sure, it was heavy to Kouga, and Kagome even though she didn't try. But why him? Why wasn't it heavy to him? He wasn't as tall as Kouga. And Kouga was a well trained hunter. Not that he wasn't skilled or anything, no way. Inuyasha knew that he had tough training with Sesshoumaru since Sesshoumaru was also a hunter for a while. But only on their planet.

Giving a mental shrug, Inuyasha kept on walking. He could hear water flowing down to the left path. And people chatting to the right. But, he could faintly hear voices coming from the left path. What was going on? Hm... Something was telling him to go down the left path... But he knew that he should go down the right path... Kouga calmly said "let's take the right path. It'll take us to the village."

"No, something's telling me to go down the left."

"Why?" asked Kagome.

"I'm not sure. Some thing's telling me that there's danger over there... And the people down there are in danger." Inuyasha replied.

Kouga growled. Trying to tell them to go down the path he wanted. But Kagome glared at him. And Inuyasha had to admit, Kagome was scary while she was pissed. She told him something that sounded like 'I'm the leader of this mission, if you don't listen to me, then I'll tell Souta and you'll regret messing with me'. Inuyasha had to admit, it was awesome to see Kouga cower in fear like that.

Kouga let out a sigh, and followed Kagome and Inuyasha down the other path. They could hear the water fall. It had a nice, clean air. And a soothing feeling around the place. Inuyasha had a feeling that the others were thinking that he was worrying over nothing. But he couldn't help it. This feeling wouldn't stop nagging at him. Telling him that he had to go there. To protect who ever was there.

Kagome walked up to him, giving him a worried look. He guessed she was still concerned about his shoulder. But he had to admit, it didn't hurt him anymore. And all feeling had returned a long while ago. Most likely when he was pushing that stone and his eyes glowed that bright gold color. The path was getting shorter and shorter. Inuyasha's mind was slowly starting to drift off. Drift away to some strange darkness. Looking around himself, he thought 'what happened? Where am I?'

"We're in a place that you've created young one."

Turning around, Inuyasha saw a strange man. Short black hair. The same violet eyes are him. And, the birthmark on his cheek. Inuyasha just stared. Wondering who this man was. He could sense a great power emitting from this man. Who ever he is.

"You have a great journey ahead of you young one."

"Who are you?" Asked Inuyasha.

"Who I am, you are not ready to know the truth of yet. The truth of your transformations that you've begun to experience."

"Transformations?" Inuyasha was confused now. The man was speaking in what he guessed could be riddles. But what's going on? Shaking his head, he said "what are you talking about? What transformations?"

"You haven't noticed? Why, your claws. The fangs. The golden eyes that you've seen. Those, are things that you'll need on your quest young one. Things that you've had since you've been born, but locked away. Things, you do not know the truth of. The truth, that lies within your blood. The reasons, for your blood lust. Killing intent. Things you do not understand, shall be understood within time. Do you understand me?" Asked the strange man.

Inuyasha shook his head. What the hell was going on? None of this stuff was making sense to him. Until, the man chuckled saying "In due time young one. In due time. You've yet to see your true self. The you, that your now, isn't your true self."

"True self?" Inuyasha said confused.

Before he could ask more, Inuyasha was out of the darkness, and back to the real world. Kagome was shaking his shoulder. Asking with great concern if he was okay. For, he just stopped walking. And had this strange blank, and yet far away look in his eyes. He nodded, trying to tell her that he was okay. But, it didn't seem like she was buying it. And for that, he couldn't really blame her. Hell, if that were to just happen to Sesshoumaru, or anyone from his town then he'd be worried too. Only this was on his mind 'What the hell is wrong with me?'

alright, hope this chapter was alright, it took me two days to type this, and it was all random stuff that came to mind that I was still able to work into the story, and yes, some of the stuff like with the engine made me feel like a weird nerd... blame my brothers for that, they liked Sci-fi and cause of that, I kinda like it, like "Star Wars" or, the very funny movie "Space Balls" and to answer this, Inuyasha is transforming into a half demon, slowly, his full transformation won't be complete for a long while, man... I feel like this fanfic sucks cause I didn't get any reviews or anything on this... sigh... stay tuned for the next chapter ~FIP~
