Disclaimer: In chapter 1.

Blah. I hate it when I have a writer's block. I also hate it when I can't get on the Internet due to stupid parental controls. (*shakes fist at parental controls*) Anyways, this chapter took a while to get out, so I hope you like it!

PS: I just finished watching episode 80, 81, and 82 of Inuyasha where Tsubaki puts a curse on Kagome. Man, is Tsubaki a b*tch! I wish I could have just jumped through the screen and killed her right then and there, but of course, then Kagome would have died. But still, it would have been SUPER FUN!!!

Note: The style of karate mentioned in here is only my imagination! There is no such type. that I know of. If there is, I'll have to write the chapter over and edit out the name Kei. Anyways. on to the story!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Laughing happily, Yasu clapped as her younger brother, Tetsuo, cracked the piƱata open. Even though it was her sixteenth birthday, it was also his. By some weird coincidence, he wound up being born on her birthday.

"Good job, Tetsuo!" Yasu winked, helping him gather all the little treats. She felt a light shudder run down her spine, and looked up briefly, staring a spot on the wall that seemed insubstantial for the moment. And then, a beautiful lady shimmered in the liquidness of the wall.

"Come. come to me. child of the Dragons!" The lady pointed, an arch of lightning coming from the tip of her finger and landing where Tetsuo was.

"No!" Yasu screamed, tackling her brother to the ground. She lay like that for a few seconds, catching her breath as the adrenaline rushing through her veins dissipated. For some strange reason, she had thought that that woman would have aimed at her. She was even jealous of her little brother!

"Yasu." her mother, Wazuka, called worriedly. "How. how did you know where that lightning bolt was going to strike?"

Yasu looked up at where her brother had been sitting before- except it was gone! The only thing left of the carpet and cement floor was charred ashes and bits. She glanced down at her brother who seemed to be shaken more then she was at the fact that she had saved his life before anyone had noticed the silent storm growing outside.

Getting up, Yasu helped Tetsuo up as well before looking around at everyone. They were all staring at her in some sort of awe- as if she had done something akin to a miracle.

~*~

Sitting outside on the fence in the fading sunlight, Yasu swung her legs back forth, back and forth, wondering again who that strange lady was. Only an hour before had her life been normal- happy and carefree, her only worries of getting good grades or getting her crush to finally notice her.

But now something more sinister and evil was at work, and it wanted her brother. the child of the Dragons.

"Sister?" A hesitant call appealed to her through the barrier of her thoughts.

Looking behind her, Yasu smiled at Tetsuo as he stood bashfully, holding his hands behind his back. "Hey, kid. You alright?"

Seeming surprised at her affectionate name for him, Tetsuo blushed slightly, looking down again. "Uhm. before you saved me from that lightning. I was going to give you your sixteenth birthday present." He handed her a crudely wrapped present, looking eagerly for her reaction.

Winking at him, Yasu opened the package, gasping at what she saw. "What a lovely charm bracelet!" She exclaimed, tears forming in her eyes. Never had she'd ever been given something so breath taking- and in the name of love and friendship. Jumping down from the fence, she swooped her little brother up into a tight bear hug, laughing affectionately. "Thank you, o' thank you!"

Setting her brother down, she slipped the bracelet on, admiring the exquisite charms.

"Sister!" Tetsuo gasped as she doubled over in pain, tears of blood starting to come out of her eyes. She moaned in pain and tried to wrench off the bracelet, but a strange red aura knocked her hand away, little cuts appearing on the palm. He didn't know what was happening to his sister, but all he knew was that she needed help right then.

"Mommy!" Tetsuo screamed, running towards the house. "Sister is in trouble! Hurry!"

Yasu straightened, but she wasn't okay. She screamed and screamed, blood coming faster and faster out of her wide-open eyes. Blood was spurting everywhere, but it all seemed to vanish once it touched the ground.

Hearing Tetsuo's call and Yasu's screaming, Wazuka rushed out, putting her fists to her mouth at seeing the state her daughter was in; tears streaming down her face, Wazuka grasped Tetsuo and buried his face in her apron, not wanting him to see any more of the gruesome sight.

Without warning, Yasu dropped through the ground into the burning pits of Hell that had opened up at her feet. Wazuka and Tetsuo had a feeling they wouldn't see Yasu alive and well ever again.

~!~

Opening her blurry eyes, Yasu tried to figure out where she was, but it all seemed impossible with the dried blood on her eyelids, sealing them shut. She sat up slowly and scrubbed her eyes, getting rid of some of the mess, but not all of it, only enough to let her be able to see correctly.

Trees surrounded her to all sides and no one was in sight, save a strange animal that looked like a giant deer with seven horns, a couple of spikes along its back, and a long, scaly, barbed tail.

"Oh no." Yasu said slowly, realizing that the thing had caught her scent and was moving over to her slowly, somehow grinning with devilish intent. Her hand went to her throat and gripped the present that Hideo had given her for her birthday. For once in her life, she wished that she had paid more attention in the kendo lessons her father had suggested instead of kei karate from her grandfather, who believed that the family's type of karate was special. Well, it was because it wasn't widely practiced and hard to master.

Not that the kendo lessons would have worked, as she didn't have a sword, wooden or steal, near her.

"Looks like its up to the Kei karate style of fighting," Yasu laughed nervously, getting up on wobbly legs. She tried to steady herself, but her legs gave way just when the creature rushed forward.

As she fell, the thing sailed over her head and landed a dozen feet away, skidding to a halt before snorting, lowering its myriad-horned head, aiming for her as she stumbled up. Yasu gulped as the thing charged, but at the last possible second, she ducked and rolled to the side, sending the thing flying again.

Just then, a flash of red streamed out in front of her and a boy wearing a red kimono wielding a large steal sword with fur on the handle appeared and slashed the demon thing with one slice of his sword.

The thing sizzled and disappeared, and two purple objects popped out where its neck used to be. Then, a girl wearing a green school uniform rushed in and picked up the objects, a bright glow emanating from her hands as the objects were being purified.

Standing up, Yasu stared at them as they began arguing. "Uhm. Excuse me," she said, barely audible over the bickering. "Pardon me. EXCUSE ME!!!" She yelled, fed up with politely waiting for them to stop.

And they did stop, but they stared at her as if she was something akin to something impossible.

"Uhm." Yasu laughed nervously. "Where am I?"

~!~

"So, your little brother caused this?" Kagome asked as she finished clearing away the dried blood around Yasu's eyes.

"Ouch," Yasu winced as the medicine ate through the dried blood. "No. A charm on the bracelet had a weird red glow about it." She held up her left hand where a line of a bright red circled her wrist. "This is the hand I put it on. but it seems to have disappeared."

Nodding, Kagome went to treating Yasu's other hand, the one that had gotten hurt trying to pull the bracelet off.

"Your story sounds strange, but what do I know? Kagome-chan here goes to and from our time to hers through a well." The demon slayer, Sango she was called, stated, looking up from cleaning her giant boomerang.

"In this era, who knows what strange thing may happen?" Miroku the monk looked down thoughtfully, a purple bruise on his cheek where Yasu had punched him by asking her to 'bear his child'.

"Uh heh, heh, heh, heh, heh." Yasu laughed nervously, rotating her bandaged hand painfully. Smiling at Kagome, she silently thanked her. "I don't even know how I got here besides the feeling that I was dragged here by some terrible and great power."

The group sighed thoughtfully, but Shippou, the fox demon lay curled next to Kagome, snored away peacefully.

"Feh. It sounds like you're a wimp to me," Inuyasha, the boy that had defeated the 'demon', grunted, sitting high up in the tree.

Before Kagome could say 'sit', Yasu shot up and glared at him. "I don't appreciate it when people call me a wimp! I know various styles of karate, not to mention my own family style, and I know how to wield a sword with a reverse blade!"

Inuyasha refused to be impressed by her accomplishments, but secretly he was amazed that anyone could fight with a reverse sided blade. ((a/n: I got the idea for the reverse blade off of Ruroni Kenshin. I thought it was cool, so I'm making most of my character wield blades like that. ^-^)) "So? That does not account to the true power of the demons around here. I wouldn't be surprised if you were eaten by a demon if you used your family's style of 'karate'."

Fisting her hands, Yasu glared ahead of her, her vision red with anger. "Take it BACK!!!" She screamed, punching a hole through the tree, causing it to fall down with Inuyasha still in it.

They all looked at the hanyou (even Yasu, as her anger had been cooled down with the energy exerted by the punch), to find him knocked unconscious. ((a/n: the swirly eyes and everything! Hee hee! Mesa very evil to poor Inuyasha! : D ))

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So tell me what you think of it so far! I hope I've done good, as I've worked my butt off trying to get this all down. I like the part where Inuyasha gets knocked unconscious, though. Someone has to besides Kagome and her 'sits'. Heh, heh. Well, please R&R and I might post your review on a special page I plan to put!
