AN: Hey, Jordyn (A.K.A. The 5th Alice) this was first on your list, and you gave me your list before Jackie (A.K.A. Canada-chan). So I decided to update this first, yay!

Disclaimer: I wish I owned InuYasha, but I don't.

Cinder immediately snapped out of her crazy, panicked mode. Maybe this was because she was staring at the scene that often haunted her dreams, or maybe it was because of the sickness she could feel spreading through her body. All of a sudden, none of it mattered, because she dropped to the ground unconscious.

"Cinder!" Jessabelle kneeled, lifting the body of her friend in her arms. "Jazline?"

But it was too late, Jazline had collapsed as well. Jessabelle was frantic. Well, until her eyes rolled up into her head and she lay on the ground next to Cinder.

InuYasha glanced at each of them individually. From Jessabelle with her short, light brown hair, to Cinder, the girl that had stared at him with wide, gray eyes. Then he glanced at the other girl. They were all pulsing strange auras at the moment, but hers was the strangest, unlike any creature he has ever felt before.

He felt a presence beside him, and knew his Kagome, always so sweet, was assessing how to help them even when she did not know them. She bent down to pick up the smallest girl, the girl with the bob. Though she seemed to be struggling, she did it without hesitation. InuYasha sighed and grabbed the girl with the gray eyes, picking her up without a problem. The only difficulty would be holding the other girl at the same time. It was then that Miroku stepped onto the scene, glancing at Jazline before smiling and gripping her tightly.

They carried the fainted girls back to the village, thinking they blacked out from shock. That was before Cinder began to scream bloody murder.

The pain she was experiencing was beyond anything she had ever felt before, worse than any fire she could imagine, and she was scared to death of fire. She suddenly knew how that Bella girl in Twilight felt when she was changed. But Cinder knew this was no story book, it was absolutely and positively happening to her. She tried to joke as she shrieked, for some odd reason thinking of roleplays and bananas.

But she couldn't keep straight forward at the goal she had made. She was searing. Her body wanted to kill her as her mind pleaded for this to be over, anything to stop it. Anything. But it was not so.

InuYasha set her on a mat that Kaede layed out, the other two reacting in different ways. Neither of them like Cinder however. Jessabelle was gasping, out of breath and seeming to be overwhelmed, almost as if something was entering her. Jazline seemed to just be embracing something. Her eyes squeezed shut and her fists clenched, her teeth grinding against each other. She was waiting for it to fully consume her, and who knew when that would be. Cinder, to say plainly, was just in pain.

Jessabelle opened her eyes first, gasping and gaping like a fish. She turned her head immediately at the screams. "Oh no..."

Cinder couldn't stop it...it...this ice, this fire that hated her so. It was worse than being killed over and over, it wasn't worth it. Her life wasn't worth it unless what waited for her in the future was perfect. She couldn't imagine that it would be. She was sure this searing pain would consume everything and her life would be a bleak one.

Jazline woke soon after her friend, her eyes widening at the screams. She turned to face her friends, asking, "What's wrong with her?"

Jessabelle looked back at her, shaking her head and the tears spraying around her. "I don't know."

And that was the worst part. They didn't know what was wrong with her, so they didn't know if they could help her, or what was even wrong with her.

But that didn't make Cinder stop screaming, screaming even though she was unconscious.

And then blackness fully took Cinder, swallowing her completely. Her screaming cut off abruptly, and this made friends worry more. InuYasha, Kagome, and Kaede left the hut, leaving the two girls to cry over their friend in private.

The didn't speak, but definitely gasped at what they now watched. They didn't believe it for one moment, but it was real. Cinder...wasn't really Cinder anymore. Demon Cinder was now staring up at them with green rimmed gray eyes, the normal dark, almost black ring around those colors.

Cinder stood in an instant, back against the wall as she hissed, baring fangs. InuYasha was in the hut almost immediately as the violent sound escaped her lips. Cinder didn't process what was going on really, the instincts so strong and animalistic that she let them control her. Her now much sharper eyes landed on InuYasha and she crouched lower, recognizing him as a threat. The hanyou seemed pleased that she did so and didn't even really seem to worry about her presence, and she knew if it came to a fight he would win. So she didn't lunge forward.

"Cinder?"

The girl who no longer knew herself heard her name and responded, her eyes snapping to the short girl. She seemed...familiar. And then memories raced through her and her once threatening eyes widened and she gasped, no longer focusing on them.

It was almost as if Jessabelle realized that the girl was no longer a threat and hugged her, but something painful was through the now demon Cinder and she shoved the girl to the side, glancing at her arm and the burn marks that now adjourned it. She didn't mind this pain compared to what she felt before, but it was certainly unexpected. She opened her mouth, but shut it immediately, having no idea what to say.

"Purifying powers."

All attention now focused on Kaede.

"What?"

"She purified you."

Jessabelle looked up with shock and worry at Cinder, but the girl smiled, showing she was alright.

"She's a miko..." Kagome whispered.

What none of them realized was that Jazline wasn't paying attention, her eyes foggy. Out of nowhere she pushed InuYasha down.

"Hey!" he screamed as he was knocked over...and just as a demon roared through the hut where he had been standing. Kagome quickly shot an arrow at it, the demon erupting with a shrill shriek and being absorbed by the deathly pink light.

"I saw that," Jazline informed the half-demon quietly.

InuYasha looked up at her, shocked.

Cinder giggled. "A girl from the future who can see the future."

Jessabelle smiled. "And a crazy, morbid girl who is now a crazy, morbid creature."

Jazline grinned wickedly. "And a girl who always tries to purify our worries can now purify her own."

And when they looked at each other, they knew that this was meant to happen and had been destined to be since they were born.

Then InuYasha ruined the moment with his loud mouth. "Great, what are we going to do with them now?"
