"Talking"

"Thinking"

Just Another Day Part.2

Danny had to take a small sigh of relief after he had just taken out several ghost seeking missiles that had been fired at him courtesy of Skulker. The fight had only started two minutes ago and Skulker was already dishing out the heavy artillery, which had made Danny come to two conclusions. One Skulker was beginning to get really tired of not being able to still catch him or Skulker was neglecting to do drag on the fight because he was told not to. Since Danny knew Skulker was the kind that loved the thrill of the chase and liked to toy with his prey, this left the second reason to Skulker's change in tactics. The fact that Skulker was now sending another array of seeking missiles followed by ghost proof nets in order to get him, proved this further to Danny. There was no way Skulker would start of this strong so early in a fight instead of dragging it on like he usually does.

"So Skulker, why is Plasmius having you attack me this time?" Danny asked in a matter of fact way after having taken care of the second assault that was thrown at him.

A look of surprise briefly showed on Skulker's face before an amused one took its place.

"Very perceptive ghost child. However I'm afraid you'll get nothing from me," answered Skulker with a toothy grin.

"Feh, I figured as much," Danny muttered back with annoyance before what he just said registered to him.

"Did I just say feh? Man, he must be rubbing off on me more than I thought," Danny contemplated to himself, getting a small smile on his face.

"Danny, look out!" shouted a familiar voice, bringing Danny out of his thoughts in time to put up a strong shield against more ghost seeking missiles.

Several strong green ecto-blasts were then fired at the missiles that destroyed them. Once the missiles were destroyed, Danny dropped down his shield and looked gratefully at the one who had warned him in time.

"That was close. Thanks Dani," responded Danny giving her a warm smile.

"No problem, now what do you say we finish the bag of bolts off," she said with a smirk as she charged up two more ecto-blast in her hands.

"Yes, lets," agreed Danny, gaining a smirk on his own lips before his whole body was covered in a light blue glow.

Inuyasha had just tried using Red Testsaga to cut through the mage demon's barrier; unfortunately it didn't have any effect. Kagome seeing that the Red Testsaga didn't work, she quickly shot a sacred arrow at the demon. However to the group's surprise the arrow also didn't penetrate the demon's barrier.

"No, it didn't work!" Kagome thought worryingly not sure what else she could do now.

"Everyone, stand back!" warned Miroku as he was getting ready to unleash his wind tunnel.

Yet just as he began removing the beads, several red colored blades had cut through the demonic barrier. Once the barrier was down, Inuyasha hastily sent another Blades of Blood attack at the demon causing severe injury to it. He quickly followed up with the Wind Scar finally destroying the demon. The others were about to go over to Inuyasha when he immediately told them to stay where they were. They were confused by this, but still did as instructed when they saw the serious look still on his face.

"Where are you hiding?" Inuyasha thought as he searched around the area with his senses on high alert.

"There!" he mentally declared before he without warning sent an Adamant Barrage at one of the village homes that was several yards away.

The attack easily cut through the wooden hut making heavy smoke produce from the harsh impact. This action greatly surprised everyone, making them start to question Inuyasha's current state of mind.

"Inuyasha why did you do that?" shrieked Kagome, but he just ignored her and instead glared at the place he had fired his attack at.

"Come on out you coward! I know your there!" Inuyasha shouted.

It was then that a figure slowly started immerging from the cloud of smoke. When the figure had came out from the smoke, it was revealed to be a woman. The woman had a creamy complexion, midnight blue hair that went down to her waist, her eyes were a rich blue color, and she was wearing a black medieval style dress.

"Strange how you could sense me half demon and the monk and priestess could not," the mysterious woman said with a tone of interest in her voice.

"Shut up!" shouted Inuyasha angrily as he sent a Wind Scar in her direction.

The woman put her index and pointer figures together while her eyes turned completely black and created a black tinted barrier around herself, easily deflecting the attack. Soon the others joined him in launching their attacks at the woman, but just like the Wind Scar nothing could penetrate her barrier. However the woman's now coal black eyes kept their focus on Inuyasha the entire time.

"The aura is coming from him! Interesting…" thought the woman as she continued to stare at Inuyasha.

"I have to make sure though."

Before they could make a second attempt to attack the woman started chanting words under her breath causing a black stream of light to produce from her fingers. She quickly sent the stream of dark light toward the group before any of them could avoid it.

"Kagome! Sango! Miroku!" screamed Inuyasha as he saw his friends completely frozen in place with a black aura now surrounding them.

"So it really is him," she thought in a pleased way while watching Inuyasha trying in a feeble attempt to break his friends from their motionless state.

"What did you do to them?" he yelled back at the woman after realizing he couldn't break whatever she did to them.

"We need to talk," was all she said before another black stream produced from her fingers.

Only this time the stream encircled both Inuyasha and herself making them both vanish from the area.

After Danny and Dani defeated Skulker the rest of the school day was uneventful. Unfortunately Mr. Lancer assigning a ten page essay on Macbeth that was due on the last day of school is what made the rest of the day unpleasant. So once school had ended, everyone agreed to have a study group at Danny's house to get an early start on the assignment. While Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Valarie were walking to the Fenton house, the topic of discussion was Skulker's earlier attack.

"So you think Vlad told him to attack you today?" Sam asked Danny.

"I know he did," stated Danny with a serious expression on his face.

"I just wished I was able to join the fight sooner. Then I could've been more help," Valerie muttered angrily to herself.

"Val you were very helpful, Dani and I couldn't have gotten Skulker if you hadn't of made that sneak attack on him," confirmed Danny, giving Valerie a supportive smile.

"Danny's right, besides it's a lot better than when you were trying to kill him…Ow!" exclaimed Tucker after Sam had just smacked him over the head for his comment.

"You really need to work on thinking before you speak," announced Sam.

Even though Valerie agreed with Sam on that, she knew Tucker was right to. She was glad that everything between her and Danny had finally been resolved and that now she was helping him instead of hurting him.

"Anyway back to Skulker, why do you think Vlad wanted him to attack you Danny?" questioned Sam.

A look of contemplation immediately crossed Danny's features. Yet it wasn't because he was trying to figure out the answer to the question like the others thought, he was trying to decided if he should tell them the answer or not. What the others didn't know was that while Skulker had made a close range attack on Danny, he had in fact answered the question.

Flashback

Skulker had just managed to trap Dani against the side of a building with a ghost proof net. Unfortunately before Danny could attempt to free her, Skulker cut off Danny's path using a glowing blade that Danny had to quickly block with a ghost shield.

"Do you honestly think none of us have noticed the change in you Ghost Child?" asked Skulker as he pressed his blade down more against the shield.

"What are you talking about Skulker?" Danny asked back with an annoyed expression on his face, trying to keep his shield up.

"You're more focused and observant. You're finally deciding to use more of that brain of yours. You're fighting skills have improved tremendously. But most of all you're actually happy for once," seriously stated Skulker.

Even though fear started settling into Danny, he made sure that it didn't show. Instead he vied for a roll of his eyes.

"It's called growing up," Danny retorted with a "duh" edge in his tone.

This however made a sadistic grin cross Skulker's face.

"Hmm, interesting how neither I nor Plasmius believes that," he amusingly said before a blast had hit him from behind.

End Flashback

Danny bit his lip as he thought about the conversation. He had been thinking about telling his friends the truth behind what's been going on with him lately. But with Vlad being eager for that same piece of information, he knew he couldn't risk telling them now.

"Danny!" shouted Sam, snapping Danny out of his thoughts.

"Huh?" was his intelligent answer to which Sam rolled her eyes at.

"I was asking you if you have come up with any ideas on the motive behind Skulker's attack," she restated.

Danny had decided what to say to his friends and had to take a short breath before opening his mouth to answer the question.

"I have no idea, but whatever it is it can't be good."

The other silently agreed on that before they headed onward to the Fenton home.

The Inu-group were continuing their journey back to Kaede's village and Inuyasha had made it clear earlier that there weren't going to be any more village stops until they got to Kaede's. With their counter with that demon and the mysterious woman on their minds, the others made no protests to that. However it didn't mean that they didn't want answers to what happened after they had been frozen. They had realized that they had missed something when one second the woman was there and then the next she was gone with the village looking as if it had never been attacked in the first place.

"I have no doubt something happed despite the villagers not remembering anything at all about the attack," commented Miroku.

"I agree. That woman, whoever she was must have erased their memories, but why," wondered Sango.

"My guess is that she had some kind of purpose in the village and when she was finished she simply left," Miroku deduced with a look of contemplation on his features.

"Then what is it she was after? Inuyasha, do you have any ideas?" Kagome asked him.

The rest of the group was also curious to hear what Inuyasha would say of the situation, especially since he had been surprisingly quiet since they had left the village. Inuyasha gave her a side glance before turning his eyes back to the road.

"Keh, you're asking that like it really matters. The next time we see her we'll just stop whatever she had planned up her sleeve," he causally stated while folding his arms under the sleeves of his haori.

"So in other words you don't know…big surprise," muttered Shippo, which Inuyasha easily caught and shot him a hard glare that made Shippo shut up instantly.

After that the conversation had been dropped since they couldn't do anything more about the woman now anyway. Nonetheless, Inuyasha's thoughts about what the woman told him would not leave him.

The Seekers are coming back.

They won't stop till all of our kind is dead.

They will go to any means to destroy you, including your friends.

When the time comes we will need your help to fight.

Or else we will become extinct and many will suffer because of it.

Inuyasha's face became pensive as he remembered telling her he had to think about it to which she gave him four days to do.

A/N: Hope that was good enough for you.
