Naraku laughed evily as he stared into Kanna's mirror. His plan was working better than he expected it too. He waved Kanna off so he could get back to his bidding, when Kagura slammed the door open. "Ah, Kagura, thank you for joining me.

"What is it that you want, Naraku?" she spat out as he looked her up and down. She never once failed to amuse him.

"I just thought you would like to know that my plan of capturing that wench is a go." She smiled wickedly, but it faltered at her confused expression.

"Can you explain your plan to me again, Naraku? I am not quite sure I understand it." Of course she understood it. She just didn't see how it would work. But what Naraku didn't know was that the one he thought would bring Lyssa to him, was totally against him. Of course she wasn't going to tell him that, for she wanted to be free.

"Ah, Kagura. You never understand do you?" she frowned at him. "Well, my daughter, you remember her? Rae? Well she was born full demon. No one knows how that was possible when i am... of course you know, and her mother was human. No one understands how it could have hapened. But never mind that. I took her from her mother, I made a tattoo of a royal bloodline on her forehead. And it was convienent that she already had the mark of the great hunter. That means she has trained well, and will do her job proficiently. (Sorry of stuff is spelled wrong my Microsoft don't work, so i have to use Notepad.)

Kagura nodded her head. She was so glad Rae was on her side to defeat Naraku, or she would have been a great threat. Naraku waited for her to speak, but soon fell impatient. "Kagura, do you understand, or do i have to make you understand." he sneered. Kagura was unfazed by his actions.

"Yes, Naraku, I understand. I will be on my way." She left the room shutting the door on he rway out. She had to devise a plan to get to Rae and help her with her goal. She needed to tell the group she was now with their plan to defeat Naraku. WIth him thinking Rae was an ally, they might actually have the power to defeat him.

Lyssa watched Rae most of the morning. Something about her seemed off. She noticed that everyone tried not to talk to her, or have any contact with her. Even Sesshomaru stayed away.

"Look guys, I know this is weird to have her" Inuyasha pointed at Rae "here, but we need to keep moving. We have to keep moving no matter what. If we don't it will be eaier for Naraku to find us."

"What do you expect us to do about her?" Sango asked. Rae looked up and listened silently to their convorsations. She didn't appreciate being talked about when she was sitting right there.

Inuyasha pondered for a moment. "She will have to travel with us. She hurt, so we can't just leave her. Woman, where is your village?"

"I do not have one. I travel alone."

"Very well then. You sha'll travel with us then."

Lyssa's POV

Okay so I didn't like the idea of Rae (if that was her real name) traveling with us. I still didn't have good feelings about her. And when Bankotsu looked at her, I couldn't help but feel a twang of jealousy. I didn't know where it was coming from, but she was beautiful, and I was jealous. I mean she was way prettier than me, Kagome, and Sango put together. But I guess that's what happens when your a demon. That is something i will never understand. She had bright blue eyes, and long black hair. Her skin was clear, and not at all dirty. I guess that was also something I was jealous of. I mean my face got oily from the dirt, when I was fighting. I mean this girl she was just in a fight last night, but there was no hint of it on her face. Oh course Bankotsu would perfer her over myself.

Wow i must be really insecure to think those thoughts. I guess I didn't feel threatened with Kagome and Sango because well, he never looked at them. But he was looking at her. And probably right now he was.

My head fell into my hands, and i felt a single tear slide down my cheek.

Normal POV

Everyone walked in complete silence. They were going at a considerably good pace, but Kagome was growing tired. "I say we stop at the next village and take a break." She panted and Inuyasha started to speed the group up.

"Inuyasha, calm down. If you keep going at a speed like this we will be very tired when it comes time to face Naraku." Miroku said as Kagome gave him a greatful look.

"Feh, whatever. Get on my back, Kagome. There is a village not to far away." Kagome nodded and jumped onto Inuyasha's back. He sped off leaving the others in his wake.

Sango, Miroku, and Shippo climbed onto Kirara, taking off into the skies. "Girl." Lyssa almost jumped out of her socks at Sesshomaru's cold tone.

"What?" she bit out. She never liked the guy.

"Get on my back. I want to get to the village already, and it will be faster for you, also." Lyssa hesitated, but seeing no harm coming to it she hopped on. She almost fell off from being light-headed when she saw Bankotsu get on Rae's back..

~*~

"We are having quite the demon problem lately." an elder villager told Inuyasha. "We would be so, so greatful if you were to dispose of a certain one. He is a serpant Demon. He has been causing Havoc on our village and we just can't take it anymore. Though, none of us are strong enough to fight it off, maybe you can.?"

He gave them a hopeful smile, and before Inuyasha could say no Kagome replied, "Of course we can sir. If you wouldn't mind giving us a place to stay for the night we would be honored to rid this beast from your village."

"Oh, yes! We will get right on that! Thank you so much!" he bowed and ran off to tell the people of the village their good fortune.

"Where's this stupid serpant? I wanna chop its head off so I can get some sleep." Inuyasha yawned.

"I sense a jewel shard." Kagome gasped. A huge serpant came slithering towards them. His tongue sticked out and he hissed loudly. Everyone flinched back, well except Sesshomaru and Rae.

Lyssa's POV

When that stupid demon came slithering down I almost peed my pants. I mean it came out of no where. I was terrified. When I saw Rae look so fucking calm I calmed myself and looked like I wasn't scared, which was of course, a huge fat lie!

Inuyasha charged at the demon, but missed horribly. I couldn't help but laugh, I mean come on, it was funny! Soon he was back on his feet ready to attack again.

I hurridly searched my backpack for my sword and Shuriken. They seemed to be my weapon of the week. I also placed my numchucks around my neck. I mean you never know when they will come in handy, right?

I saw Rae attack the disgusting snake thing with a sword I never knew she had. It was long and pointy. Well I guess all swords are. She got a huge chunck out of its skin, but otherwise didn't do much harm. I grasped my Shuriken ready to aim, but Sesshomaru beat me and used his poison whip, killing the Serpant instantly. I pouted a bit, and shoved my weapons back in my bag.

"Well done Sesshomaru!" Rae praised and flashed him a huge smile. I rolled my eyes involuntarily. Rae shot me a look. I mean if looks could kill, I', guessing I'd be dead right now. I mean what did I ever do to this chick? All I know is it looks like she is pursuing the guy i am pursuing. Isn't that like against some girl code or something?

I was snapped out of my thoughts when the elder dude came back to thank us. "Thank you so much for defeating that nasty demon! The best we could do is two rooms at the village Inn. Is that okay?"

"It is more than okay, thank you so much, sir!" Kagome squealed and starting rushing in the direction the elder went.

"Are you serious two rooms! It's like a dream come true!" Miroku cried.

"Shut it you pervert! Girls in one room, boys in the other. Got that?" Miroku chuckled and Sango glared him down.

"Not that this isn't fun, which it's not." Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. "Let's get going to the Inn they have."

"Agreed." I smiled and rushed down to where Kagome disappeared. The girls were sharing a room. Hopeful Rae broke the rules and stayed in the guy's room, because I really needed to talk to Kagome and Sango. Hopefully we'll get some time alone.

~*~

Unfortunatley for me, Rae did no such thing. Actually she stuck to us girls like glue.

I was really starting to get pissed off when everytime I tried to talk, I'd get cut off by her. I let it slide the first few times, but now I was really getting pissed off.

Finally I just got up and left. I mean i wasn't going to take that shit, expecially from that slut. So, I did what any normal teenage girl would do. I went into the guys' room.

There room was actually way nicer than ours was. The walls were oak wood and nice carvings were put into the walls. "Hey, guys." I said, hoping they wouldn't kick me out.

They didn't. Sesshomaru gave me a weird look, but that's about the only bad thing that happened. "Yo, Lyssa. Whatcha even doin' in here?" Inuyasha asked between bited of food. I could tell he wasn't angry, just midly curious.

I did something very unlady like. I snorted. "Well i just couldn't hang around the 'all perfect' Rae any longer." I made air quotes around all perfect, becuase well no one is perfect.

"I know exactly what you mean. She thinks she's so great because she is royal and a demon. She actually reminds me alot of you, Sesshomaru." Miroku said. Sesshomaru growled fiercly, and Miroku rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah S. why'd you have to bring her to us?" I hope he doesn't get mad I called him S. I am just too lazy to say Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru studied her a moment. "Well, It was the only thing I could think of."

"Can I call you S." i blurted out.

"Hn."

"I take that as a yes."

"Take it as a I really don't give a shit. Just do not call me Sesshy."

"Yes Sir!"

Bankotsu walked into the room while I had my hand up soluting S. when I said Yes Sir. (A/NLike they do in the army if you didn't know.) I quickly put my hand down feeling embarressed.

"Hey, Lyss! What are ya doing in here?" Bankotsu asked happily as he took a seat beside her.

"Oh, wow you're actually glad it's me? I thought you would be hoping it was Rae." I meant it to be sarcastic, which I tend to do when I'm hiding emotions, but i muttered it so seriously the whole room got quiet.

Bankotsu looked confused. "Why would you ever think that, Lyssa? I barely know the girl."

"The way you talk to her makes it look like you've known her for years." I know i was sounding like a child, but I just couldn't help myself. The jealousy was overwhelming.

Bankotsu stared at me in shock and utter disbelief. I looked away from him, but he lifted my chin, so our eyes locked. "Lyssa don't ever think I would like her. There is only one girl for me, and it is not her."

I did not speak, for i thought my voice would crack. Who was this girl? Did i know her? Was it me?

He took me into a hug, and I couldn't help but hold onto him for dear life. I never wanted to let go. And I didn't. I fell asleep like that in his arms, and dreamed a nightmare free dream, of just him and me watching the sunset..

A/N: AWWWW. lol. sorry it took me so long to update. My microsoft stopped working so I have to use word pad. Then my internet went out and my dad finally fixed it lol. sorry for the really short chapter before this!
