Hitaru was unsure as to how long she let herself lie upon the ground. Her grief was so heavy that she had completely lost track of time. But that moment seemed to be the best to get up and try to find her way back home.

She wandered around the forest for hours and nothing smelled familiar. She noted that everything seemed newer and fresher, cleaner you could say. Everything was so different but when she felt swells of many youkai youkinos' she knew that she wasn't in her world anymore.

Her world consisted of very few youkai. The ones that were left were being killed off left and right by the ninjas of the hidden villages. The more powerful, the tailed demons such as her father, were being sealed inside of newborns to prevent destruction of their villages.

As far as she knew all of the tailed demons but herself had been captured and sealed. She was the last nine-tailed fox and now the last free tailed demon that existed.

The more she walked the more she realized that she may never find her home again, or ever be able to unseal her father. But she was never one to give up. She was going to find a way to get back to her home and save her father. All she had to do was first figure out where in the world she was and then find someone that was highly skilled in relocation spells.

She didn't know where to start so she headed to a village that she smelled nearby. She hoped that there weren't any ninjas or that they weren't willing to help her because she was a demon. She walked to the village and all the people seemed alright with her presence, so she approached whom seemed to be a village elder.

"Excuse me." she said.

"Yes young lady, how may I help you?" he asked.

"I seem to be lost sir. Could you tell me where I may find someone that could help with a relocation spell?" she asked.

The elderly mans' eyes grew wide and stayed quiet for several minutes before he answered her.

"Young lady, you will need to help of a sorceress or a powerful demon. You will not find anyone such as them here. We are a peaceful village and we plan to stay that way." he said.

"Ok. Do you know of any? It is very imperative that I return home immediately." Hitaru urged.

"I am not sure what that imperative words means but if you wander to the west you may find some demons that will be able to help you. The only question is if they will help you." he said.

"They will. I need their help and I will get it. One way or another." she said.

Hitaru bowed to the man and left, heading towards the west. It wasn't long until she felt several low level demons youkino, they couldn't help her so she didn't bother. When she was about to push forward without a second thought she smelled fear coming from the same direction and realized that the demons were attacking a human.

She shot off into the same direction and came upon the scene. The demons were some snakes and they were attacking a small toad demon who was protecting a human child. That didn't settle with her and she saw red. Hitaru loved children and hoped that one day she would have many.

Without thinking she intervened in the fight. She killed two of the snakes and grabbed the small girl to hide her. The girl was terrified and screamed.

"Master Jaken!"

"Master?" Hitaru thought.

She moved the girl onto some brush. The girl tried to move and go back to the fight but she stopped her.

"Stay here! You will be safe. I will not harm you." she said and returned to the battle.

Hitaru didn't waste any time in decimating the rest of the demons. They attacked a child so they suffered her wrath. she thought that she was through then the little toad opened his mouth. It wasn't to give her any thanks, either."

"Rin you brat come here." he said.

To Hitarus' surprise the child that she hid came.

"Master Jaken, your safe." Rin said.

"No thanks to you." he sneered.

"All the thanks goes to her." Rin said, pointing to Hitaru.

Master Jaken ignored her. Hitaru was becoming very annoyed with the little demon.

"Come along. We have to find..." he said.

"Not yet. We haven't thanked her properly." Rin said.

"Atleast she has manners." Hitaru thought.

Rin came up to her and bowed.

"Many thanks for saving Master Jaken and I, ma'm." she said.

"Your most welcome. Please do not call me ma'm. My name is Hitaru." Hitaru said.

"Who cares who you are." Jaken said, loudly.

Hitaru glared at Jaken. He was making her angry.

"Little demon, you need some manners. This child has more manners than you." she said.

"Matters not what she has. I am superior to some human child." he said.

Now she was angry again. She wasted no time in marching over to Jaken and kicked him, making him squeal as he flew across the forest. Demons like him made her disgusted, thinking they were better than someone because they were demons. To her no-one was better than someone else.

She then turned back to Rin. She was going to continue speaking to her but was cut off by an enraged flare of youkino coming closer to them. She immediately formed a fighting stance in front of Rin and waited for it to show itself. She didn't wait more than a second.

A ball of light came into the small clearing and landing in front of her was an angry, handsome, very powerful demon with a drawn sword.

"What do you want here?" she asked.

"Leave." he ordered.

"Excuse me. Who do think you are ordering me around?" she yelled.

Hitaru was getting very tired very fast of the people here and she was doing her best to keep from exploding and beating them all. The demon in front of her ignored her.

"The demons here so rude." she thought.

"Rin come here." he said.

"Yes my lord." she said, running around Hitaru.

"You know him?" Hitaru asked.

"Yes he is my Lord Sesshomaru. Lord Sesshomaru this is Hitaru. She saved master Jaken and I." she said.

Sesshomaru nodded at Rin.

"Where is Jaken, Rin?" he asked.

"Somewhere over there. He was mean and Hitaru kicked him." she said.

"Hmn." he said.

Then he turned and began to walk away. Rin ran to find Jaken. When she found him she shook him.

"Master Jaken, Lord Sesshomaru is leaving come on." she said.

Jaken stirred and freaked out.

"Rin you pesky child. You think I don't know this." he yelled.

Hitaru snapped and come over to him and kicked him again.

"Lord Sesshomaru." he squealed.

Sesshomaru watched him sail towards him and hit the ground, he was out cold.

"Come Rin, we're leaving." was all he said.

"Yes my lord. You can come to Hitaru. We can't leave you by yourself, you may get attacked by some bad demons." she said.

"Rin, sweetie. I don't need protection from some demons, I am one." she said.

"You are? Why don't you have any markings like Lord Sesshomaru?" she asked.

"Umm maybe it's because we aren't the same kind of demon." she said.

"What kind are you?" she asked.

"I am a nine-tailed fox." Hitaru said.

She snuck a look at Sesshomaru, he had stopped walking and surprise was clear in his eyes.

"Why is he looking at me like that?" she asked herself.
