The lecher monk finally appears!
We also learn who Yuna's killer is!

Talia's POV

"Are you sure Inuyasha isn't looking Kagome?" I asked the black haired teen as I began to get out of my clothes. Kagome was back to normal thankfully and Inuyasha kept staring into space. Of course that was to be expected when your former lover gets resurrected by an evil witch demon and you thought your other half supposedly betrayed you.

"Nope he's not" Kagome reassured me as she got into the hot spring. I made a quick look behind me before I finally peeled off the rest of my clothing and covered my boobs as I entered the hot water. However I wasn't a wolf shape shifter I was in my demon form since tonight was the first night of the full moon. Kagome actually seemed to like my demon form better than my usual self. The water felt great and I sat myself in it leaning against a rock. Kagome had a necklace with all of a jewel shard on it.

"You resemble Inuyasha's brother a little bit when you're in your demon form" Kagome said getting my attention. I chuckled and replied.

"I don't have the crescent moon on my forehead or two stripes on my cheeks just one"

"Don't you even think about peeking at us Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled.

I heard Inuyasha grunt and I only chuckled. Since I saved his life by taking an arrow meant for him, Inu has become more protective of me which I found both annoying and sweet at the same time. I first washed my body before dealing with my silvery long hair. I used my claws to brush the tangles out. While I did this Kagome screamed.

"What's wrong?!" Inuyasha yelled. A second later my best friend was in the water and I yelped as I dove my naked form deeper into the water and Kagome grabbed a rock and hit Inuyasha on the head with it. The hanyou fell face first into the water while Kagome tried to shoo away at the monkeys that had made Kagome scream.

Next Day.

"Come on can you try to see the humor in it?" Kagome asked we walked along a cliff side. I walked next to Inuyasha while Ballerion and Shippo rode on Kagome's bike. "So I bonked you on the head and you saw us naked can't we saw we're even?"

"I saw nothing!" Inuyasha protested his face turning red.

"He saw enough" I chuckled.

"Talia!" Inuyasha snapped turning to me.

"Admit it Inuyasha you like being a peeping tom I wished I saw Kagome making you fall from the cliff when you spied on her bathing for the first time and that earned you a you-know-what"

"Woman you can be so infuriating" Inuyasha growled while I smirked. The sound of rock made all of us look up. My eyes went bug eyed as a tan colored boulder came hurling down towards Inuyashsa and I. I also remembered this was actually Hachiemon the badger demon that served Miroku, so this was the episode the perverted monk showed up in. I leapt out of the way just as Hachie collided with Inu and he fell down the cliff with Shippo. Inuyasha finally was able to stop falling and he held Hachi in his grasp. As I landed next to Inu to help him out I saw Kagome being carted off with Miroku.

"Who is that guy?" Inuyasha asked me as he continued to struggle with Hachi.

"Talk later pack mate!" I said as I quickly punched Hachi and Inu took out Tetsusaiga. At the sight of the huge fang Hachi reverted to his true form.

"Please don't kill me I'm just an innocent badger" Hachi begged. I noticed Miroku suddenly stopping the bike and he looked to us and began to undo the wrappings on his right hand.

"Oh snap!" I yelled as I ducked down to the ground knowing full well what was about to happen. I closed my eyes as the wind began to blow like mad. It ended as soon as it began. When it was safe enough I stood up and hurried over to where Inuyasha was stuck face first in the cliff. I easily pulled him out with my demon strength just as Kagome came over to us. A few minutes later we went to the took a bit of a break at the bottom of the cliffs.

"That creep who the heck was that guy anyway?"

"His name is Miroku" I answered getting everyone's attention. "He's nice but he's a perverted human male"

"He didn't seem like it" Kagome began. "Then again he seemed happy to be kidnapping me"

"It's because he's a womanizer" I told her. Suddenly Kagome gasped and she yelled.

"That monk took off with my bike you creep!"

"Like that matters you were being kidnapped don't you think that's more important I can't turn my back away from you people for a second"

"You were worried about me" Kagome said looking to Inu. "Sorry"

"Sorry for what? I wasn't worried about you, I was more worried about the jewel shard"

"Speaking of which he took more than the bike he took the jewel shard too" Kagome said.

"What?!" Inuyasha yelled looking mad and he had an anime vein on his head.

I sniffed the air and I turned in the direction ahead of us.

"I have his scent let's go find him" I suggested. I then took off running using my demon speed.

"Talia wait up!" Inuyasha shouted after me. Ballerion flew ahead while I ran in the direction of the village with Inu jumping behind me with Kagome on his back and Shippo hanging on to her. We all crossed the bridge into the heart of the village and Miroku's scent. Inu got Kagome off of him and he got to the ground sniffing for Miroku.

"Hurry up you two people are staring" Kagome said to us.

"Easier said than done Kagome there are a lot of human scents here" I told her.

"Yeah there are" Inuyasha agreed. Some of the villagers eyed me and they were actually interested but they frowned at my clothing. I had my usual outfit back on. I ignored the villagers talking as I walked ahead while Inuyasha continued to sniff the ground. Miroku's scent finally came back and I came to a stop outside of what looked like a brothel or whatever it was. I saw Kagome's bike and I walked over to it and rolled back towards Kagome.

"Thanks Talia if the bike's here I take it the monk is as well" I turned to the building.

"Inu he's inside with the women"

"Good I plan on teaching him a lesson!" Inuyasha snapped before he stormed into the building. I sweat dropped as all followed after him. Music was being played as were the laughter of many girls. Inuyasha opened the door.

"Gotcha!" Inuyasha said looking mad.

"Busted bicycle thief!" Kagome added. Miroku looked up at us.

"I'm so glad you're here" Miroku said standing to his feet. He then walked over to us and to my surprise he came over to me instead of Kagome. He took my hands into his.

"It's too good to be true you're a real sight for sore eyes even you though you are a demon"

"Half demon actually" I corrected Miroku.

"Heh I will give you sore eyes" Inuyasha growled before making a swipe at Miroku. The monk let go of my hands and quickly moved backwards. He came to a stop near the geisha's who had been entertaining him.

"You again? I figured as much"

"Yeah you should have funny that was just what I was thinking but I guess not all of us were blessed with good looks and brains, I don't suppose you'd be interested in handing over that jewel fragment you stole from us"

"A gem such as this does not belong in the hands of a demon" Miroku said as he pulled out the jewel shard on the chain necklace had worn.

"We'll see about that!" Inuyasha roared before storming forward ready to use his claws. Miroku simply jumped out of the way and leapt over the balcony and ran off. Inuyasha swore as he jumped over the balcony and ran off after Miroku.

"Inuyasha!" I yelled as I jumped over the railing and decided to help my buddy catch Miroku. Ballerion held on as I caught up with Inu and the two of us chased after Miroku through the village.

"Come back and fight like a man!"

"I will not fight a senseless battle!"

"All a matter of opinion!" Inuyasha shouted as he drew out Tetsusaiga and he leapt into the air. Miroku turned around and stopped he held his staff out and Inuyasha's sword met with the staff blocking Tetsusaiga's assault. Light sparked as both weapons met and a second later Inuyasha jumped back making the light stop.

"I don't know who are you but your no monk"

"I go by the name Miroku and yes I am a monk who works for the aid of common man" Miroku said.

Wind blew in the village making my clothes blow as did it make Inuyasha and Miroku's robes. Kagome managed to catch up with us as the villagers gathered.

"This ain't work to aid the common man your nothing but a sleazy robber, now give us back our shard of the Shikon Jewel, we went through a lot of trouble to get it and we're not going to lose it now" Inuyasha demanded. Miroku pulled the jewel shard out again on its chain.

"Touching speech I know you went through great lengths to collect this gem but trust me it's in better hands with me Inuyasha"

"Heh so you knew who I was all along" Inuyasha said.

"Not at all"

Inuyasha did a sort of anime fall.

"I believe it was either mentioned by the two lovely young women or the fox"

Inuyasha had enough and he leapt into the air and threw Tetsusaiga forward. Miroku like before blocked the blow and both men were moving Inuyasha running forward with Miroku backwards. Finally Inuyasha managed to get Miroku caught off guard and he used Tetsusaiga to send Miroku's staff to go flying. It landed in the ground behind Inuyasha and Inu held Tetsusaiga at Miroku taunthing. But Miroku simply did a back flip and took off running.

"Damn you!" Inuyasha roared before running after Miroku again.

"Uh oh, Ballerion!"

Ballerion leapt off from my shoulder and he was surrounded by flames before became his true form. Some of the villagers screamed while some looked at the dragon in awe. I jumped into the air and landed on the dragon's back.

"Kagome get behind somewhere with a strong structure!" I shouted to my friend. Kagome nodded and she hurried over to a stone house and prepared herself. Ballerion flew upwards and was high enough to avoid being sucked into Miroku's wind tunnel. I watched as Inuyasha and the monk were out of the village. Inuyasha held Tetsusaiga up ready to use it while Miroku began to undo the wrapping around his hand. Then finally the wind tunnel was revealed. Ballerion roared and he flew higher to avoid the wind.

"That hand of his powerful" Ballerion said as we watched from below. Inuyasha actually used Tetusaiga's blade and it pushed in into the ground as many things were sucked into Miroku's vortex. Inu held on and my eyes widened when I saw the blade actually moving forward.

"Ballerion dive down I have an idea!" I shouted. Ballerion gave me a questioning look and I nodded at him in reassurance before turned his body downwards. I held onto Ballerion's neck spikes and when I was close enough to the ground I jumped off of Ballerion's back and was falling towards Miroku. Inuyasha screamed my name and Miroku's eyes widened. He quickly closed off the wind tunnel just as I fell onto his body and the two of us went flying backwards. We landed on the ground with Miroku on his back and myself on top of him. I grunted before I sat myself up.

"Damn my head hurts" I said as Inu and Kagome rushed over to us.

"Talia are you crazy you could have gotten yourself killed!" Inuyasha snapped.

"It was the only way to make the wind fiasco stop Inu besides he's a good guy and would have killed us a long time ago, let's give him a chance at least"

I suddenly felt my eyes go wide when I felt something touched my butt.

"Son of a!" I yelled as I scooted myself off of Miroku and into Inuyasha's grasp. Miroku sat up. "I was wrong kill him!"

"You just blew your last chance" Inuyasha said. I turned to see Miroku held his hand up in surrender.

"Please settle down and let me explain things"

Later Sunset

"You I'm too am seeking the shards of the shikon jewel my purpose is to find and eliminate a demon, a terrible demon who goes by the name Naraku"

At Naraku's name I actually snarled.

"Whoa what's with you Talia?" Inuyasha asked.

I didn't answer because I was mad. I had never liked Naraku and I had various reasons why.

"I see you have heard of him" Miroku said looking to me.

"I've heard of him alright" I said. "He's the one responsible for the wind tunnel in your right hand right?"

"Indeed" Miroku answered and he went on to talk about Naraku taking the forms of others. As well saying that when the evil demon encountered Miroku's grandfather he became a beautiful woman and I simply sweat dropped. However my attention was back when Miroku mentioned that Naraku slew the priestess protecting the shikon jewel.

"Naraku also slaughtered the dog demon Yuna"

Immediately this got my attention.

"Did you just say Yuna?" I demanded at Miroku as Inuyasha stood up.

"Did you know her?" Miroku asked.

"She was my mother and she died to protect me"

So now I finally knew who killed my mother in fact I got so angry I actually slammed my fist into the grass in front of me.

"Talia don't do that!" Kagome said while Inuyasha demanded what Naraku looked like here and now. Of course Miroku didn't have this information and Inuyasha was just as mad as I was. In fact the two of us were shaking with anger.

"If I cross paths with that demon I won't hesitate to kill him with my bare fangs" I growled. Inuyasha suddenly noticed I was still shaking with anger and he came over to me. To my surprise he grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hug. I felt my face turn red as Inu wrapped his arms around me.

"Talia I will do everything in my power to help you avenge your mother's death you have my word" Inuyasha promised.

"Thank you pack mate" I said to the hanyou as we broke apart from our hug.

"You two seem to make a cute couple" Miroku said to us. Both Inu and I blushed.

"Uh we're just good friends nothing more" Inuyasha said.

"What he said" I added.

"Let's look for the jewel shards together then" Kagome suggested. This got all of us to look to her. Ballerion was hanging out with Shippo in the tree nearby.

"I like the idea of that actually" I said turning to the boys. "Unless you want to thrown in the towel Inu"

"I'll never give up!" Inuyashs said in confidence.

"I'd prefer to travel alone than the company of others" Miroku added.

"Yeah but if something isn't done soon you will die" I told Miroku.

"She's right"

Miroku looked to Kagome and I.

"Dear Kagome and Talia are you two troubled by this wretched fate of mine?"

Miroku then came over to both of us since I was close to Kagome. Suddenly he clasped my hand in one hand and Kagome's in the other with his.

"Kind of sort of" I answered.

"What she said" Kagome added.

"Then do me this good deed will you? I wish for either one of you to bear me a son"

Both Kagome and I had WTF looks on our faces. Kagome made that silly sound while I only felt my face turn red. Inuyasha turned around looking alarmed and jealous.

"And why would we want to do that?" Kagome asked.

"If I should fail to destroy Naraku I would like my son to carry on the family mission"

Inuyasha stormed over and shoved Miroku off of us.

"Hands off priest the only family mission is lechery"

"I'm a monk not a priest" Miroku corrected.

"Don't even consider laying a hand on Kagome or Talia again" Inuyasha stated.

"Inuyasha" Kagome said.

"Oh I beg your pardon I thought you were no more a companion but apparently you are in love with Kagome"
Inuyasha suddenly looked nervous and I chuckled.

"You also seem to care for Talia more than you say my this is awkward"

Inuyasha turned red.

"You got one part wrong Kagome is just a jewel detector and Talia told you we're just friends"

"Huh is that all I am to you?!" Kagome yelled before elbowing Inu away from her. "Oh how could I forget you got a thing for dead girls!"
Both Inuyasha and Miroku this time had WTF looks on their faces.

"Who should I help out Miroku is a lot nicer than Inuyasha" Kagome added.

"You wouldn't dare betray me!" Inuyasha snapped. I simply chuckled while the three of them began to argue. Miroku suggested about Inuyasha being gentle with Kagome when it came to his attitude.

"Perhaps you should take his advice Inu" I suggested to Inuyasha.

"Like this" Miroku said as he snaked his hand on my butt again. I screamed when he did this.

"Get your hands of me!"

"I told you not to touch her!" Inuyasha snapped.

Later.

I flew on Ballerion's back as we headed towards the gravesite of my mother. Now that I knew who had killed her I needed to visit the site.

"Are you alright you have been quiet" Ballerion asked as we flew under the full moon.

"Just of how Mom was killed that's all" I answered.

Ballerion didn't say anything as he flapped his wings. My mother's gravesite appeared below us and Ballerion made his descent. He landed a second later and I got off of his back. I went over to the water and bent down.

"How did Naraku kill you Mom?" I asked to myself. I touched the water with my claws and I was suddenly pulled in what had to be a vision because the next thing I knew was I was hovering over my home, my real home in Seattle. The pack grounds were in flames and there were screams from other pack members fleeing. A second later my father when he was younger came out of the house which was on fire with my grandmother.

"Yuna we must hurry!" my father shouted as he called to the flame filled house. A second later my mother appeared. My eyes widened because she was beautiful. Her hair was just as long as Inutaisho's had been, and it was pulled back in a braid. She had two magenta stripes on each cheek and her eyes were the same gold. She wore feudal era armor and I saw Valerian was in its sheath on her hip. She carried a crying bundle and I knew it was me she held. She also had a boa that was longer than Sesshomaru's on her shoulders.

"Take her and flee before he finds us, I will not let anyone harm my mate or my child" my mother spoke. Suddenly a thorn like vine came surging towards them and this made my father and grandmother separate themselves from Mom. Mom swore as she fell to the ground still clutching me in her claws.

"So you this is where you have been Yuna" Naraku's voice said. The evil son of a bitch appeared in his baboon pelt. "Where is the Shikon Jewel last I heard you had it"

"I never had it to begin with you monster" Mom snarled. She stood up and her eyes turned red. "And if I knew where it was I would never tell you"

"Then perhaps I can persuade you" Naraku suggested just as a thorn like vine shot out of his pelt and it was coming towards me. Mom hurriedly turned her back and wrapped her claw like hands around me and clutched me to her chest as the thorn pierced her heart. I actually screamed as I witnessed this. Blood sprayed onto my fifth month old self as my father called out my mother's name.

"A mother's desire to protect her offspring is powerful even if the child is a half breed" Naraku sneered as he removed the thorn thing or whatever the hell it was out of my mother's body. Blood began to stain her armor and kimono.

"Don't you dare refer to my daughter with such a term" Mom growled. She then collapsed to her knees and Naraku simply laughed before he vanished.

"Yuna!" Dad yelled as he rushed over to his mate.

"Take Talia" was the first thing Mom said as she spoke. Dad immediately took me into his arms before Mom removed Valerian.

"I cannot live without you Yuna" Dad said to my mother as tears went down his face.

"You must my mate, Talia will need her father tell her the truth when she is old enough to understand what she is, but for the time being I will seal off her demon half"

Despite being injured as hell she placed a single claw against my forehead. The claw glowed blue before it faded.

"It is done if she should ever come to my time will her demon half awaken on the full moon, promise me you will raise her well"

"I swear it and she will know that you loved her" Dad said before Mom grasped his face with one clawed hand and their shared their last kiss. Dad had tears go down his eyes as did Mom's. The kiss was sad and once they broke apart Mom kissed my forehead.

"I'm sorry you will have to grow up without me my little one never forget I love you" Mom then weakly stood up ignoring the blood pouring down her arms and she then ran off in the direction to where that cave was. The vision faded and I was now back in reality.

"You saw her death didn't you?" Ballerion asked as he walked over to me. He nudged my arm with his snout.

"Yes" I said. I couldn't cry because I was so sick of crying all the time. Or I guess it was sadness mixed with anger and hate. Ballerion snorted just as Sesshomaru's scent filled my nose. I turned to see my mate walking towards me.

"I shall leave you two alone I must hunt anyway" Ballerion said as he took flight.

"I came as soon as I could what troubles you Luna?" Sess asked as he caressed my face with his hand.

"I really don't want to talk about it now Sess maybe later?"

"If that is what you wish" Sess said before he kissed my forehead. He then sniffed the air and frowned.

"Don't you dare give me that possessive bullshit Sesshomaru you know I don't like that, Inuyasha is already protective enough as it is" I warned my mate with a growl.

Sesshomaru only had a teasing smirk on his face before the two of us began to head in the direction where he was making camp for the night. It wasn't in the meadow but an area next to a small pond. Jaken and A-Un were fast asleep. I wasn't hungry since I ate earlier with the others. Sesshomaru sat down and made a gesture for me to sit next to him. I felt my face turn red as I headed over to where he sat next to the fire. Even though we were mated on the demon side, I still acted shy around him. I sat myself down next to him and lay my head in his lap. Sess didn't say anything but simply stroked my hair. A thought came to my head. I sat up and asked.

"Did mother have any other relationships with anyone else?" I asked.

"If you mean she had another partner no she didn't, she was loyal to your father" Sesshomaru answered.

"So I don't have any siblings I take it"

"No you were Yuna's only child" Sesshomaru confirmed. "Why ask?"

"Because I would sometimes get jealous of my friend's relationships with their siblings"

"Hmmm" was Sess could say.

"Does your mother know you uh have a mate?" I asked.

"That I do not know, I haven't seen my mother in a long while" Sesshomaru confessed. "She is more than welcome to come and see me whenever she wishes but she chooses not to"

"No doubt you get the crescent moon mark from her"

"That is true" Sess agreed. "And my mark never ceases to please me that your mine"

He suddenly pulled me into his lap. My heart began to pound like mad. Sess pressed his nose into my skin where his mark was on my flesh. He then licked my mark and I felt my eyes turn red with lust.

"Mine" I growled.

"That you are Luna" Sesshomaru said before he pressed his lips against mine. My claws clutched onto his Kimono tightly as my demon half grew lustful. However I was not ready to well have sex just yet. The mere thought actually made both my wolf half and demon halves howl in pleasure whenever I thought about it. Now my demon half wanted Sesshomaru, wanting to claim what was ours. Whenever Sess kissed me it was mind blowing and it always left me speechless.

"I see your demon half is being lustful towards me" Sesshomaru teased.

"Don't make it harder Sess I'm trying to hold back so I won't lose control" I warned.

"You have nothing to fear Luna" Sess said before he pressed a kiss against my forehead. Immediately my demon half calmed down and I felt my eyes return to their normal demon color. "You may have me whenever you want to and only then"

"Easier said than done Sesshomaru it doesn't help when you're hot"

Sess shot me a questioning look.

"That means your attractive"

"Only in your eyes Luna, in fact I dream about you"

"Oi! Don't make the conversation rated R Sesshomaru!" I scolded my face was blood red.

Sesshomaru only chuckled before he kissed my forehead again.

"When you do wish to mate with me Luna, I plan on making you scream with pleasure"

"Geez you really are perverted mate"

"Only when it comes to satisfying you Luna"

XD
Miroku you perv!
Now Talia has a reason to hang around to kick Naraku's ass!
