I do not own Inuyasha.

Sorry for the loooong wait, but I have been very busy lately. School has me on my toes and exams!! The exams are horrid. I am very sorry I haven't updated but I will try my hardest to do so. Thank-you for the reminder LittleHobbit13 and everyone else who has been waiting patiently.

Chapter Eight: Have We Met?

Inuyasha glared at Duo from across the room. He didn't like Duo at all. The boy was suspicious and he reminded him of someone. He studied Duo the same way he studied his enemies. Sizing them up and seeing how much stronger they were.



Duo appeared to be care-free and stupid but Inuyasha wasn't fooled. He could see some other emotion behind the façade. It was calculating and very smart.



Inuyasha thought the boy looked odd as well. He had lighter hair than most humans and blue eyes. They only other human with blue eyes he'd ever seen was Kagome. Inuyasha growled. He knew he had seen this boy somewhere before. The name just danced barely out of reach.

Duo watched Inuyasha out the corner of his eyes. Inuyasha was a weird one, in his opinion. Of course he had gotten used to the idea of demons but he was still very wary. He had seen Inuyasha somewhere. In fact, Shippou and Kagome seemed familiar too. He could see some recognition from Inuyasha but what bothered Duo was how? So Duo did the only thing he could under Inuyasha's scrutiny.

"Have we met?" Duo said amiably.

"That's what I would like to know." Inuyasha glowered.

"What did I do?" Duo bellowed. Inuyasha's glowering was beginning to unnerve him.

"I don't like you." Inuyasha said.

"Well how about I introduce myself properly. My name is Duo." he said. Inuyasha glared. He couldn't think of a name that would suit Duo.

"Baka!"

Duo's hand went limp and his eyes, dull.

"And they say I'm immature…" he said and sighed. He stood up and walked outside. Inuyasha watched Duo's long, dark braid trail him. Inuyasha growled. Something wasn't right. He knew this boy from somewhere. He just couldn't think of it.

Yes, Yes. I know. It was short but bare with me!!
