The Other Half Demon

Kaede was surprised when Inuyasha walked into her hut holding a girl in his arms, and not just any girl, but a half demon.

"What is the meaning of this child?" she asked.

"Oh shut up old women. Why don't you use some of your herbs, and help this girl." Inuyasha said placing the sick girl on a soft mat in front of the fire

"Do ye know this girl Inuyasha?" she asked the Half demon.

"Feh, Ask Kagome." Inuyasha said leaving the hut. Seconds later Kagome entered.

"Kaede." the young priestess said. Moving towards the wiser priestess of the village. Kaede was in her late fifties with long gray hair pulled back. She was wearing the custom priestess outfit which was a long white kimono shirt with red pants. She had an eye patch on her left eye from an incident when she was a little girl. The old priestess smiled at Kagome.

"Kagome what is the meaning of this?" she asked. Kagome shrugged dropping her stuff on the ground as she took off her shoes showing her respect.

"I found her by the tree of ages." Kagome said sitting close to the girl, sitting her up close she really did notice the similarities between the girl and Inuyasha, but it seemed Inuyasha didn't see it all.

'Figures, he never notices the details in a person' she thought remembering when they first met he confused her for Kikyo, his first and according to Kikyo his only love. She shuddered at the thought remembering when she had met the dead priestess, seeing up close she didn't at all see the resemblance, but she could see it between Inuyasha and the strange girl.

"What would she being doing there?" Kaede said looking at the girl. Inuyasha had placed a blanket over her, and he watched as she shivered. He reached out and touched her forehead, she did have a fever a really high one.

'If she doesn't wake soon, she might die.' he thought worriedly.

"Kaede, do you have any herbs?" Inuyasha asked. Kaede looked at him surprised that he called her by her name.

"Nay, I don't." she said. Inuyasha growled in frustration, this girl couldn't die, he didn't know why, but he could sense that he knew, but didn't know from where.

"She has a fever, and if it doesn't go down she's going to die." Inuyasha said frustrated. Kagome couldn't help notice the worried look in Inuyasha's eyes. He was worried for her the girl, and not only that. She knew that he cared for her, a lot.

"I might have something." Kagome said reaching in her bag for some medicine she brought. 'good thing mom gave me the first aide kit.' she thought. She moved closer to the girl opening her mouth and slipping the medicine in her mouth. The girl began to cough, and Kaede quickly moved and got the water jug passing it to Kagome who pushed it into the girls lips. The girl drank the entire cup, and slowly went back to sleep.

"She'll wake up in the morning, we have to give her water every hour though." Kagome said checking her watch for the time.

"Why did you bring her Inuyasha?" Kaede asked, Kagome looked at Inuyasha also wondering why he brought the girl. Instead of answering Inuyasha stood up turning his back on them.

"Kagome make sure her fever goes down. I'm going to take a walk." he said, and left the hut. Both women looked at each other stunned, neither of them have ever seen Inuyasha this concern for a strange girl. Kaede looked at the girl sleeping in her hut, whoever she was, she had made an impression on Inuyasha

"Damnit! Why can't I get her out of my mind?" Inuyasha yelled out loud, he was sitting on top of a tree that over looked the village, but all he saw was the girls face in his mind. It was driving him nuts, why did he care so much for a girl he just knew? For a split moment he thought about caring Kagome the same way like the girl. Now he's really lost it, there was no way he liked Kagome, she was just a jewel detector, besides she was the reincarnation of Kikyo his first love. Even if he did grow feelings towards Kagome, she would think she reminded him of Kikyo even thought it wasn't true, and he knew it.

"Damnit!" he cried again pulling out his sword the Tetsusaiga, it's fang was long and could slain a hundred demons. Inuyasha knew this was an heirloom from his father, and he knew his brother Sesshomaru would do anything to get it.

'What a jerk, father gave him the Tenseiga and his selfish ass wants my sword, well he ain't going to get it. I'll even cut his right arm like I did the left if he tried to steal my sword again.' Inuyasha thought putting Tetsusaiga back into it's sheathe. He looked up at the sky, and wonder how the girl was feeling. He remembered holding her in his arms, she looked so fragile.

'When she let out the word brother, my heart jumped, why?' he thought. He couldn't help wonder how it would have been like to have another sibling besides Sesshomaru, but he knew that was impossible, for what he knew, Inuyasha was the last son his father had before he died, there was no way he had time to meet another women.

'It would have been nice, having another sibling, if I could I wish it was a girl.' he thought staring up at the light sky.

Back in the hut Kagome gave the girl another drink of water, it's been three hours and her fever had finally come down. She pushed the girls bangs away from her face, there where no markings on her what so ever. If she really was a half demon Kagome couldn't help wonder if she was a dog demon too? Maybe even a cat.

"I think I want to touch them." Kagome said out loud reaching out and touching the girls ears. Just like she did with Inuyasha when she first saw him, she touched her ears, and sure enough they felt just like Inuyasha's.

'This is so much like déjà vu.' Kagome thought covering the girl tightly.

"Kagome! You're back." Shippo said coming into the hut with Kaede carrying firework, the young fox demon jumped into Kagome's arms, she was like the mother he never had.

"Shh Shippo we have a guest. We don't want to wake her." Kagome whispered. Shippo looked at the girl with curious eyes.

"She looks like Inuyasha." the young kitsune said. Even though Shippo was young he was right about that.

"Don't say that in front of Inuyasha, he might get mad." Kagome told him. The young fox nodded his head, he knew that Inuyasha would let his anger out on him.

"Umm" the girl moaned out. It looked like she was ready to wake up, but the medicine Kagome gave her should have knocked her out until morning.

'It must be her demon blood.' Kagome thought. She watched as the girl began to move in her sleep, and then slowly her eyes opened. Kagome was completely shock to see that the girls eyes where golden amber, just like Inuyasha. Who was this girl?

"Where am I?" the girl said.

"You're in my village, who the hell are you?"
