Rei eyed the half demon and priestess in front of her. The bus became crowded with people coming home from work. Inuyasha, not wanting to stand up for Kagome to have his seat or have Kagome stand up, offered her to sit on his lap and Kagome happily accepted it. The worst part though, there was major traffic; probably an accident.

The Senshi of Mars suggested that they walked the rest of the way, but Kagome quickly neglected the idea. Rei's eyebrow twitched in annoyance as Inuyasha and Kagome laughed, giggled, cuddled, and all those mushy things. No way were they acting like a couple; knowing they were not. She didn't even feel like putting up with their emotionally challenge love dilemma.

Rei turned to talk to Souta, but the teen was fast asleep. She sighed heavily, not having anything else to do, but stare at the lovebirds and roll her eyes. She slid down in her seat and pouted; not liking the situation the heroes were in.

Then it hit her. A strong and unfamiliar evil aura was nearby. Rei quickly jumped up and just noticed an elderly woman board the bus. She fought her way backwards to find a seat. "Would you like my seat?"

"Why, thank you young lady. It is hard to find nice young people," the elderly woman said, shaking slightly; a smile appearing on her face as it lifted her wrinkles.

Rei nodded and turned to the two cuddling bears. "I don't like standing up...er...on a crowded bus so I am going to walk home."

"Are you sure Rei? You can sit on Souta's lap or vice versa," Kagome suggested and smiled. She made it appear to be the smartest idea in the world.

"I think I will pass," Rei mumbled and made her way off of the bus. Looking down the street, she knew that bus wasn't going to move for a while. Rei jogged to the corner and made her way through the honking, nonmoving cars; turning a corner and out of sight from the traffic in an alley. Pulling out her henshin pen, she swung it into the air and cried her infamous battle phase.

"Mars Crystal Power, Make up!"

"I hope Rei made it home safely," Kagome said as she snuggled against Inuyasha's chest. She knew this was wrong in a way, but she could not pass up this moment. Gripping his shirt, she sighed heavenly and closed her eyes.

"Me too," the hanyou mumbled and tangled his claws within the locks of Kagome's hair. He knew this was wrong in a way, but he could not pass up this moment. Eyeing the people that giggled and stared with a dreamily face bothered him, especially the younger females. Why were they looking at him like that anyway? His ears lowered under his hat, having a feeling something was not right. Suddenly, his ears perked up as he heard a someone scream, "Monster!"

Looking out the window, he spotted people running and screaming. At the intersection of the main street, someone flew through a windshield of a car and someone or something landed on top of another car. Inuyasha cracked his knuckles and smirk, someone to beat the mess out of. Picking up Kagome bridal style, he hurried out of the rampaging bus and toward the enemy.

"What about Souta?" Kagome asked worryingly.

"He is safer on the bus," Inuyasha responded and halted at the corner. The being on top of the car turned to the two with dull, golden eyes. Turning around completely, their figure was completely visible. The male, as it appeared, crossed his arms over his black, leather tank top and black leather pants with chains swirling around. His black, heavy boots jingled with chains as he hoped to a closer car to Inuyasha and Kagome. With a better view, he appeared to be in his early 20s. Three earrings pierced both his ears and a choker upon his neck. His hair was pitch black and stopped below his ear. He pulled his leather, black jacket closer together and possessed a overgrown sword upon his back.

"More useless beings," he grumbled and sighed heavily. "Why must I be bothered with useless nonsense."

"The only nonsense around here is you!" Inuyasha shouted and reached to his left to pull out his mighty sword. Not feeling the handle of his sword, he looked down to see it not there. "Where the hell?"

"At home Inuyasha, remember?" Kagome replied and knew the situation was bad without his sword. "You can't just walk around with a sword you know."

"Damn," Inuyasha muttered and turned back to the blackish male. One thing he disliked about the present.

"You're a demon, well, half demon," the male corrected and smirked, the golden hues of his eyes darkening.

"And you're a demon, who gives a damn! Demon or not, I'm still going to kick your ass!" the hanyou shouted and leaped towards the demon. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!"

Raising a hand, he created a force and sent the attack flying into the nearby cars and other objects.

"No way! He blocked it with no sweat!" Kagome shouted and stared at the demon awestruck.

"Kagome, what is going on?" Souta asked as he ran beside her. "I was the only one on the bus!" With that said, the bus was cut into half and blew up; sending Kagome and Souta flying a few feet. "And that's what happens when you leave someone helpless!"

'No matter how many times I use my attacks, he just neglect them!' Inuyasha thought as he jumped away from the demon.

"You should learn by now, Inuyasha, that you cannot harm me!" the demon male shouted and chuckled, baring his sharp fangs. Gripping the handle of his blade he responded, "But if you insist on being an idiot..."

"How do you know my name?"

"Every demon does, Inuyasha, every demon does..."

"Mars Burning Mandala!" a feminine voice cried, rings of fire shooting from behind the demon.

Smirking, he easily backfired the attack, causing a red blur to jump from the hood of a car. Super Sailor Mars staggered to her feet as she landed incorrectly; not wasting anytime with this beast.

"No way am I going to let you harm innocent people for your own pleasure! I'm Sailor Mars and in the name of Mars, I shall obliterate you!"

Kagome's eyes grew large at the sound of the name. 'Sailor Mars? As in the Sailor Scouts? Here? But they are on the other side of Tokyo! Why is she here of all times?"

"I hate fighting beautiful women, but if they get in my way of interfering with my mission, they are just a pathetic being wanting, begging to be destroyed!"

Creating a black orb within the palm of his hand, he raised it high and launched it towards Sailor Mars, but the attack went a little of target due to Inuyasha ramming into the side of the demon. Sailor Mars quickly flipped to the side, dodging the attack, but landed with a snap onto her right leg. Biting onto her tongue to resist the urge to cry out loud, she hopped onto her good leg and leaned against a car; trying her hardest to ignore the throbbing and pain throughout her body.

"I can take care of you two easily, but I'm fighting an unfair match. I shall return with another partner to rid of you pathetic excuses for heroes." With that said, a black cloud surrounded him and then vanished along with the demon.

"Are you ok Inuyasha?" Kagome asked uneasy and worried as she and Souta jogged up to him. He nodded and wiped his forehead of sweat, quickly looking around. "Hey, where is that Mars girl?" Never in his life has he saw such a sight as that. A female wearing a small skirt in strange shoes, by the way, looking quite painful, fighting that demon. Who was that? Something Mars...

"Hey, you're right. She just vanished," Kagome noticed and placed a finger upon her chin. "But we better leave before someone catches us around a dangerous area."

"Damn!" Rei shouted as she tried to snap her leg back into place. It was no use, it was broken. She took care of the small injuries before hand. How in the world was she going to explain this to Inuyasha, Kagome, and Souta? Not to mention, they were at the battle scene. At least she was able to stay a good feet away from them so they couldn't see her up close.

Speaking of the battle, that demon was strong and she knew taking him on by herself was suicide. What was his mission? Praying, she hoped it wasn't because of the Shikon Jewel. She needed the scouts more then ever now. Hearing the door creak open, Rei quickly slid under the covers and positioned herself as comfort as possible. She closed her eyes and slowed her breathing. She knew exactly what to do since she used this method so many times on her grandfather before leaving for a Scout's Meeting.

"See, she made it back safely," Souta stated as he cracked the door open a bit, heading off to his own room. Kagome took a peek in and headed off to take care of her own business. But Inuyasha opened the door and closed it behind him, walking to the side of Rei's bed.

'Why is he in my room?' Rei thought confused as she tried to continue with her act. Inuyasha sat on the side of her bed and lifted the strands of hair from her face; causing Rei to hold back a small blush and a slap.

Inuyasha removed his hand and crossed his arms. As he suspected, she had bruises and smelt of blood. Having the urge to demand how she received the injuries, he took a look at her face. Apparently, she looked passive and peaceful and he didn't want to hear herbitching if he bothered her. Shrugging the idea off, the hanyou removed himself from her bed and exited the room; he just bothered her later.

When the priestess heard her door click shut, she quickly sat up in bed and reached for her communicator but stopped. With the sharp senses of Inuyasha, he probably here it, so she decided against it. Now, about this leg...

Rei shrugged, she been through life and death situations a hundred times, why let a broken leg keep her down? She smiled and stood up, only to find herself fall straight back down. 'That hurt a lot...but...something is urging me to go outside.' Standing up quickly, she limped out of the door and out of the house without anyone noticing, well, she thought no one noticed.

Inuyasha sat on the windowsill in Kagome's room as she left to rambled through Souta's closet for more clothes for Inuyasha. Apparently, they didn't buy to many outfits for the hanyou at the mall. He raised an eyebrow as he saw Rei limp to the Scared Tree. He thought she was asleep...Watching interestingly, he saw her sit upon her knees on the roots of the tree and touch the marking of his 50 year prison...

"This tree...gives off strange vibes," Rei whispered to herself as she slowly made her way to the Scared Tree. "This tree bothered me the moment I stepped foot onto the soil of this temple." Situating herself on the roots of the old tree, she stared at how large the tree was compared to the others. Spotting an old marking upon the tree, Rei reached up and traced her finger around it. In doing so, her eyes became blank and visions of a woman in priestess clothing releasing an arrow, Kagome removing an arrow for the tree, and other related events.

A bright red light begun to glow from within the tree's marking and begun to glow around Rei. Her ebony hair begun to flow slightly and her head tilted forward as the visions continued to fill her head.

Two claws gripped her shoulders and pulled from behind. Removing her from the tree, the glowing fade, but her blank expression remind the same.

"Rei!" Inuyasha yelled and sat her up, shaking her furiously. She wasn't responding. Inuyasha quickly picked her up and ran inside to inform the family, because he didn't have a clue as to what to do.

"Will she be ok Grandpa?" Kagome asked disturbingly and shaken. After receiving the story from Inuyasha, she didn't know if the tree took her soul or energy. She was on-edge, eager to know if her cousin was ok or not.

"I cannot say Kagome," her grandfather replied and placed down the wards on the desk.

Inuyasha balled his hand into a fist and growled within his throat. For some reason, it pained him to see Rei that way. Her eyes blank and emotionless...empty. To him, she looked dead...
