Chapter 1
Kagome sat by the warm, crackling fire in Kaede's hut. She was worn out from the battle she had just finished with Inuyasha to get another shard of the Shikon No Tama, the sacred jewel that enables demons to gain power. Kagome looked over at Inuyasha, who was sitting by himself in the corner of the hut, and then sighed heavily. She and Inuyasha had just had another stupid fight. Apparently her skills of archery weren't up to Inuyasha's standards, so the demon they had faced earlier almost got away.
*FLASHBACK*
Kagome drew back the string of her bow, aiming to hit the demon who had attacked them.
"Please hit this time!" she begged, and then released the arrow. The arrow was about 3 feet away from the spot Kagome aimed at. She groaned in disappointment and threw down the bow to the ground.
"You stupid girl!!" Inuyasha screamed. "You're letting it get away with one of the shards!"
Deciding to take matters into his own hands Inuyasha ran as fast as he could, catching up to the retreating demon. He sliced through the demon easily with the powerful Tetsusaiga and smirked as Kagome grabbed a Shikon jewel shard from the demon's corpse.
Inuyasha ran to Kagome's side and yelled, "What were you trying to hit with your arrow; a tree?! Why don't you just learn to use that thing?? You'll never be as good as Kikyo at archery."
Inuyasha had hit a nerve. Kagome could feel water building up in her eyes. She did the only thing she could to hide her tears from Inuyasha.
"OSUWARI!!(sit)" Kagome cried out.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
Kagome sighed again. The truth was that she really hated fighting with Inuyasha. 'But it's always his fault!' she argued with herself. 'That's not completely true. You start some fights also.'
"Oh shut up!" Kagome said out loud, not meaning to.
"Huh?" Inuyasha looked puzzled.
Kagome blushed slightly, "Oops, sorry! I didn't mean to say that out in the open."
Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly stopped and his dog ears perked up.
"Inuyasha? What are you doing?" Kagome asked.
"I hear something," he replied.
Inuyasha stood up from his corner and walked out of the hut. Kagome naturally followed him, grabbing her bow and arrows, and tried to hear whatever Inuyasha had heard. It sounded like someone screaming; a little girl screaming.
"Hurry up and get on my back," Inuyasha ordered. Kagome climbed on and held tight with her legs as Inuyasha jumped quickly to whoever was screaming. They got into the forest and saw a little girl with very long black hair hiding in a high tree while a small wolf demon tried to get to her.
"Ahh!" the little girl shrieked as the wolf came dangerously close to slashing her with its paw. Kagome immediately put an arrow ready on her bow and aimed. Releasing the draw string, the arrow sped through the air and hit the small wolf demon squarely in the head.
"Alright!" Kagome cheered as she got off Inuyasha's back once he had landed. Kagome didn't realize the stunned look on Inuyasha's face as she climbed up the tree to the little girl.
"Are you okay?" Kagome asked with concern. The girl simply nodded yes and then climbed down. Kagome followed her down and then brushed her skirt off.
The little girl spoke softly, "Thanks for saving me."
"It was no problem!" Kagome said happily with a big grin on her face. "What's your name?"
"I am Riana Natari," she said sweetly, holding her hands behind her back.
"Where are your parents kid?" Inuyasha asked roughly.
The little girl buried her head and her hands and cried, "I don't have any! They were killed by a demon!!"
"Aww! Don't cry Riana!" Kagome comforted. "Come back to Kaede's hut with us, okay? That way you are safe."
"What??" Inuyasha argued.
"She has no where else to go!" Kagome argued back. "Don't be so insensitive!"
"Keh," was all he said, following Kagome and the girl back to the hut.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome had set out a mat for the little girl, Riana, next to her own sleeping mat, while Inuyasha chose to lean against the wall for his own sleeping arrangement. Kagome fell asleep within minutes of lying down, but Inuyasha just sat watching her sleep. He sat there remembering that they had yet another fight earlier that day, and he couldn't remember what it was about. He leaned his head against the wall and closed his eyes, trying to remember what he got mad at her for this time.
'Oh yeah, it was because she missed the demon when she shot at him. That was a stupid reason for getting angry at her!' Inuyasha thought. 'But why did I compare her to Kikyo again?? I know how much she hates it when I do that!! I should stop.wait a minute! Why do I care if I hurt her feelings!! Maybe it's because I do care-'
Inuyasha stopped thinking when he smelled a scent getting closer to him. He cracked his eyelids open slightly and saw the little girl slowly crawling towards him, a demented looking smile on her face. She had what looked like Kaede's vegetable cutting knife clenched in her tiny fist.
She raised the knife in the air as she got closer to Inuyasha and whispered under her breath, "I-must-kill-him-for-"
Inuyasha didn't catch the last word she said because he had jumped to his feet and snatched the knife from Riana's hand.
"Just what the heck did you think you were doing!?!" Inuyasha hissed.
Riana screamed and ran behind Kagome, shaking her awake.
"Kagome!" she cried, "Inuyasha went after me with that knife!!"
Kagome sat up and glared at Inuyasha, who was still holding the knife. "What were you doing that for you baka!?"
"Hey! It wasn't me who-"
Inuyasha was cut off by Kagome screaming "osuwari!" ten times.
"Hmph!" Kagome said as she took Riana's hand and led her into another room. Riana turned her head and smirked as Inuyasha snarled at her.
'What is this stupid girl's problem???' Inuyasha raged in his mind. 'And why was she trying to kill me??'
