Hey Guys! Thanks for the review on this story and my one-shot 'Together Forever'. I highly appreciate them and now I really know that you guys like it.

"Who are you?"InuYasha asked.

"Get out of my way. I have no time for you demon." The boy said in a loud voice.

"Make me." InuYasha said.

Suddenly, a large pack of demons came out from behind the couple. They were immediately thrown over to a nearby tree and were knocked unconscious. The demons noticed the half-demon and diverted their attack to him. InuYasha sharpened his claws and started slashing all the demons down one by one. He didn't use the Tessaiga however, for he thought these demons were not worth Tessaiga's wrath and his claws were enough to finish them all. Seeing the power of the half-demon the pack decided to retreat. This half-demon was too powerful for them to handle.

"You shall not have the girl, half-demon." The pack leader said.

InuYasha was confused. They were after this girl? What was so special about this girl? Why was the boy in such a hurry? These questions constantly bugged InuYasha. He moved towards the unconscious couple. InuYasha decided to leave. But would he be able to?

These two were in serious danger. They were not even conscious. With those demons after the girl, who knew what they would do to her. If Kagome had been with him she wouldn't even have the thought of leaving these two alone in such a condition and she would have cared for them until they felt good. These two were completely helpless, so InuYasha decided to stay with the two unconscious bodies until they regained their consciousness. He picked up the two bodies and moved away from the open lane and moved through the trees and put them down in front of one. He then settled down in a nearby tree. Looking at them somehow again reminded him of the days he was living a few months back, the days when Kagome used to be by his side. How he used to carry her on his back through the lands. He also laughed at the fact how Kagome had managed to change him a lot. Back then he wouldn't have cared if anybody died or survived. But here he is looking after two people that were complete strangers to him. Back then to defeat just even a small number of demons he would have drawn out the Tessaiga and would have attacked them with the Wind Scar. But now he just felt drawing out the Tessaiga at situations like these was just not worth the effort.

He then went to sleep for if he was going to look after them, he would need some energy. He hadn't had any sleep ever since he began his journey because he thought he wasn't going to encounter a situation like this and being a half-demon he could go on for almost a month without a sleep.

That night InuYasha saw that dream again. But this time he was looking at the mountains from where he was sleeping and a faint black mist was surrounding the red eyes that lay amongst the fire.

InuYasha woke up again. This had been yet another time he saw that dream. It was eating him from inside. What did this dream mean? Would he be able to sleep again? He had to get to the bottom of this. He had to solve this as soon as possible.

However as much as InuYasha wanted to get over this, he didn't wanted to return anytime soon either. He looked at the horizon as the sun slowly crept out indicating the beginning of a new day. But to InuYasha, every day was the same day where he was all alone and running for his life.

Then a small grumbling sound came from the tree beside him. The boy was waking up from his deep slumber. He then opened his eyes to see a blurred figure in front of him.

"What? Where are we?" he asked.

Then his vision slowly began to clear as he began to see the half-demon in front of him.

"Huh! Who are you? What are you? Why are you here?" he asked in a panicked voice.

"Isn't it obvious? You were attacked by demons." InuYasha replied.

"Why did you save us?" he asked.

"You're alive. Isn't that enough?" InuYasha replied.

"Huh! So you're also after her." he yelled in a loud voice.

"What? Wa…." InuYasha tried to reason but got cut off.

"Get away from her you monster. I won't let you have her." He said shielding the girl in front her with his body.

The commotion caused by the two woke up the girl. She saw the boy standing like a wall in front of her.

"I got nothing against this girl. If I was after her, I would have long taken her while you were unconscious." InuYasha argued.

"I apologize for interfering but what is going on?" the girl asked.

"Don't talk to this vile abomination." The boy barked at her.

These words were enough to anger the half-demon in front of him. He was used to the word half-demon. He was used to the word half-breed. But nobody had the right to call anybody a vile abomination. He saved their sorry lives and this was how they repaid him, by calling him a vile abomination. The girl saw InuYasha's anger flaring and realized that if the boy didn't apologize soon then the scene in front of her would not be pretty.

"That's not the way to thank the one who saved your life. Please, let's apologize and leave." The girl said to the boy.

"Don't you see this creature here is after you, I am certain once we leave he will come after us to the destination and do his selfish job." The boy said in a loud voice.

"You know what? No human in years has ever called me a vile abomination. That word sickens me to hell. But since you had the guts to call me that, I have a special way to say welcome to respond to your thank you." InuYasha said with rage flaring in his eyes.

Within a split second InuYasha dashed forward in an inhuman speed and landed his punch on the face of the boy. The boy was knocked down to the ground. He was unconscious, but not dead. InuYasha never killed humans. It wasn't in his rulebook to ever kill humans for his mother was human. He didn't really want to be a monster to the eyes that called him a monster. In fact he wanted to prove that half-demons like him did have feelings like humans.

InuYasha came back to consciousness as the girl in front of him kept shaking the boy to wake him up. Without saying a word InuYasha quietly headed his way.

"YOU JERK!" the girl yelled.

InuYasha suddenly jerked his head up. She called him a jerk. That was a very Kagome thing to do. Only she stood up against him and called her that. InuYasha turned his head around and looked at the girl who had a frustrated look in her eyes.

"You called me a jerk? Why?" InuYasha asked.

"Yes, I called you a jerk because you are one. How do you think I am supposed to carry him alone? He just woke up and now he is unconscious again. Do you think I am as strong as you that I carry this heavy boy by myself? I can't even pick up a rock….." and she went on and on. First, yelled a boy who called him a vile abomination and now, a girl who was calling him a jerk. InuYasha felt as if she was dropping the hell on his head. Even Kagome knew when to stop. But this woman was just making him defeat by simple use of carefully chosen word. This certainly wasn't pretty.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry and I've heard enough." InuYasha said in a frustrated voice.

"Sorry won't do." The girl said crossing her hands and turning around.

InuYasha gave a long sigh and said. "Fine, what do I need to do?"

"Take us to our destination." The girl said pointing to the east.

'Well, at least it's on my way.' InuYasha thought as he gave the girl a nod.

"Thank You" The girl said turning to him and giving a wide smile.

What was up with this girl? Just moments ago she was asking for apology, then she bursts out in anger and now within moments she is giving him a smile. InuYasha gave a long sigh thinking that it was going to be a hard time being with these two.

"Uhh! Where the hell am I?" The boy said slowly regaining his consciousness. "Huh! What the…"

He was being carried by InuYasha. The boy had been a really great deal of trouble for the half-demon.

"Put me down." The boy yelled.

"Shut up, you have given me enough trouble already." InuYasha shouted back.

"Hey I am not a kid." The boy said. "I don't need to be carried around like this."

"Well stop acting like one." InuYasha yelled.

The boy kept quiet. This wasn't happening to InuYasha. The boy was around Kagome's age and he still didn't mature. Well, once upon a time InuYasha hadn't too. But Kagome changed most of that.

"Hey Suzume" InuYasha called.

The girl turned towards InuYasha.

"You said his name is Nobuhiro, right?" InuYasha asked. The girl gave him a nod.

"Well, Nobuhiro I don't know what you've got with this girl and I don't know why the demons were attacking you. But if you give me more trouble than I can handle then it's goodbye for you from me." InuYasha said.

"Go ahead then kill me. You will be shocked." The boy said.

'Gosh! This boy is so narrow minded.' InuYasha thought.

"I didn't mean to kill you, you idiot. Your friend needs you here and you think of dying." InuYasha yelled.

The boy named Nobuhiro then remained quiet. How on earth did Kagome stood up with him? Was he this hard to handle back then? These thought plagued InuYasha's mind.

"Uhm! Is this necessary?" Nobuhiro asked. InuYasha looked back and the boy showed his hands pointing out to the ropes that tied them. InuYasha smiled and looked down at the subjugation beads he was wearing. Even if he was that hard to handle, then it was made sure she had enough tools to keep him in line.

"No, I don't think I would get them off anytime soon. You would only give me more trouble if I did, so behave yourself and I might get them off pretty sooner than you know." InuYasha said.

"I said I am not a KID." Nobuhiro yelled.

"Well, stop acting like one." InuYasha replied back.

The girl named Suzume, giggled at the sight in front of her.

"Don't worry Nobu he's not going to eat you." Suzume said.

For some reason Nobuhiro gave a light blush and he hid his face. InuYasha noticed this and grinned at the memory of him blushing when he would be around Kagome. He knew what was between these two for it was the same story between him and Kagome. Then everyone stayed quiet and they went on with their journey.

On the other side of the forest, Miroku, Kohaku and Kirara were continuing their journey through the forest.

"Now what do we do?" Kohaku asked.

"I don't know. It's way late to do this. I don't think even Kirara is ready to do this now." Miroku said.

Kirara gave a mew which indicated her agreement to the monk's words.

"My dear InuYasha, why did you have to be such a heavy bale of rice on our backs?" Miroku said as he looked down at the path which forked into five different paths. They were lost, really lost. Then something caught Kohaku's attention.

A monkey was sitting on a stump in front of them looking at the trio as it scratched its head in confusion.

"What are you looking at?" Kohaku asked the monkey.

The monkey gave a loud scream and then jumped away.

"Well, that isn't a good sign." Kohaku said.

"At least these monkeys won't shower you with acorns." Miroku said. "Let's get some sleep before we begin for tomorrow."

Kohaku nodded and they both settled down and rested for the night. Little did they know the monkey that they had just chased away was about to give them a whole lot of trouble.

So that's it for this chapter guys. I will try to post chapter 5 next week. Please do leave reviews because I do need to improve my stories and writing. Also I would like to know if this chapter was as good as previous ones or not because when I was writing this Funimation announced the English dub for Attack on Titan. So I was in Titan mode and not Demon mode when I was writing this chapter. Also this is the first chapter of my first of three planned arcs and first chapter I introduce my original characters. Anyways, thank you for reading and I hope you like it.

Inspiration for this story:

I got this idea for quite some time now. Before I started watching Final Act (English Dubs weren't available at the time) I always wondered what InuYasha did when Kagome wasn't there (back then I wasn't even remotely interested in anime until I watched it and the whole series grabbed my attention). After I watched the whole series, for almost past six months I got constant ideas bombarding in my head. I used to listen to songs and then I used to imagine scenes with the song as the background music (Trust me one of them was 90's Metallica and neither of them either from Modern Music a.k.a Justin Cough Cough Beiber). It was only a few weeks ago that I got enough motivation to do my own fanfiction. That reason alone I don't want to ruin this story.

Until next time guys.
