Well, guys I'm uploading another chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own the idea of Inu-Yasha but I do of this story. I think. All rights reservered is not my idea either.

A New Friend, old foe
*****************************************************
The old woman brought her daughter into a hut and warmed her by a fire. The blood of the woman melted and it healed her injuries. They was still blood coated on her clothes, but that was okay. At least she was alive.

"Mother, bring in the strangers, please,"Ikimono weakly called.

"Are you sure you are strong enough to talk to them? They look like a surly bunch."

"Yes. I'm positive."

"Alright then. In they come."

Kagome tenderly opened the door and walked in first. She didn't bother to hold it open for Inu-Yasha and it slammed into his face.

"Hey! You wench, what the hell do you think you're doing?!" He yelled.

"Sshh! Inu-Yasha, I'm sorry but be quiet, okay?"

"Feh!" Came his common reply.

Sango and Miroku entered the warm room and at by Kagome. Kagome saw Miroku's hand moving in the general direction of Sango's rear. She got up and stomped her foot hard against his hand.

"Ow!"

Sango ignored this and said to Ikimono,"It's amazing you survived those injuries. You're blood heals things. I'm beginning to think that you're not even human."

Ikimono looked down and smiled. Small, glistening tears formed at the corners of her eyes. "I'm not. I was born human, but it was too soon for me to be born, and I was too weak to survive. A stranger came and gave me his blood. It turned me into a demon, but I'm not bad. I keep the village safe. They don't know about the existance of Demons."

"Well, that explains your blood. But why were you hurt so badly? Who were the dead boys ?" Miroku inquired.

"I don't know their names. They were traveling down to a mountain, adn I helped them. Then as they were leaving, a demon came and killed them. 30 years ago he told he would fight me. He came and,and,and I tried to save the boys. But I couldn't. Then he nearly killed me. I want revenge. Like never before, I want revenge."

"Ikimono. What was this demon's name?"Inu-Yasha asked with sudden intrest and intensity.

"His name was Naraku. Do you know him?"

"Only a lot. We all want revenge, too. Want to join together and defeat him?"Kagome offered.

"Yes. I can tell you're strong enough to defeat him."

With that, Ikimono sat up straight and all the bones in her back popped with a horrible cracking noise. She stretched and ran to a box in the corner none had noticed before. She pulled out lots of clothes and threw them into a cow skin bag.

"Let's go!" She chirped with sudden energy.
**************************************************************
The end R+R please.
A/N: This story mostly revolves around Ikimono right now. She kind of is the main character, but don't worry. It won't be her to destroy Naraku. I kind of need her as an important character for this story because this is a prequel to a story I haven't typed yet. K by
