Dislclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the rest of the gang sobs :(

Kagome lay on the bedding Kasumi laid out for her on Akane's floor beside her bed. Tossing and turning she continued to consider her so called engagement and the repercussions there of. Sighing heavily, she settled into a comfortable spot on her pillow and fell to sleep.

The house was still, darkness filled the hallway as Ranma reached the top of the stairs after grabbing a late night snack and a brief visit to the bathroom. Slowly, he walked to his bedroom moving without making any sound, when something stopped him dead in his tracks. His battle sense telling him that someone with an incredible battle aura was very close by. He quickly followed his senses down the hall to Akane's room, bursting through the door fearing the worst. The sight before him left him stunned, there perched in the open window a darkened figure crouched his yellow eyes glowing in the moonlight the rest of his features barely a silhouette. The figure's long sliver white hair billowy out to it's side in the cold wind. The hairs on the back on Ranma's neck stood on end, he would have mistaken the creature for a feline with the strange glow to it's eyes if not for the low growling emanating from it's chest.

The creature's attention was suddenly drawn to the girl on the floor below as she stirred. Suddenly she awoke with a grasp staring up at the form above her. It looked down at the girl and appeared to get angrier the growling getting increasingly louder.

Sensing danger Ranma lunged at the creature, knocking them both out the window. Kagome was out from under her blankets and at the window in a flash.

"Oh god!"

"What, what is it!" Akane startled from her sleep, rushed to her side staring down as the two boys landed. "Ranma?"

Landing on top of the creature Ranma held him down beneath him the light from the moon finally revealing the features of a boy his own age with pointed dog ears and long fanged teeth that shined before him as he growled.

"Who are you and what do you want!" Ranma demanded. Instead of answering the boy displayed his superior strength and launched Ranma off of him with his legs sending him flying through the back door.

"Somebody's going to get hurt. I got to get down there and stop him." Kagome ran from the room leaving Akane to stare after her.

"Stop who? What's going on? Kagome!" Soon she was following the younger girl's flight down the stairs.
