Freeow, look, I starting a chapter the day after the previous one was
uploaded! Not that it'll probably be up tonight, but oh well.
And I'm not going to bring Kagome and the others in, at least not at this point. I've read fanfics where Inu-Yasha's off on his own, and they always give in and bring in everyone else within 5 chapters, and it drives me nuts. I want something different from usual.
But just relax, okay? Kagome, at least, will make an appearance before it's all done, so no worries. It won't be for a while, though.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters from Buffy or Inu-Yasha.

Giles rubbed his temples, exhausted after several hours of trying to speak Japanese. Inu-Yasha was not helping, since all he did was stare and give the occasional laugh whenever Giles said something wrong. Which, as it happened, occurred twice a sentence.
Inu-Yasha tapped the bars of the book cage, which was still only semi-fixed after he'd broken it several days earlier. He stared blankly into space, very bored with all of it.
Buffy ran through the library door, looking scratched and bruised. Giles took one look at the expression on her face and stood up quickly. Inu- Yasha didn't really seem to take much notice, and continued tapping on the bars. Buffy explained to Giles what had happened, and he grew increasingly worried as she spoke.
Inu-Yasha sat up straight and looked with more interest as Giles hurried around the library, looking through the piles of books that were still off the shelves. When he finally found what he had been looking for, he sat down at the table, and stayed there, engrossed in whatever he was reading.

The fanged creature hurried across town, anxious to return to its master. Arriving at an old warehouse, it looked quickly around, and disappeared inside.

"I just can't seem to find anything like what you described, Buffy," said a frustrated Giles. He flipped through yet anther book, and tossed it aside. 'Are you sure.?"
"Yeah," said Buffy. "They were a bunch of vampires, but then they just turned into these weird.things. It was creepy."
Giles sighed. "Are you sure it wasn't a trick of the light?"
"Positive."

Raal stroked the bumpy, scaly brown skin on his chin as he listened to his surviving minion. The thing annoyed him greatly, but he knew better than to kill it. As it was, this pathetic vampire he had lent power to represented one of the few vampires he had not had to kill because of its refusal to serve him. It also still held some of his power, and killing it would be setting himself back.
So, even though his minion had failed miserably, he simply listened. His little attack on the Slayer had not worked, but he was not worried. He just needed more vampires to work with.

Spike shook his head at himself. Here he was, on a bus headed out of California, running like a scared rat. Of course, to stay would most likely have meant death, but still, he was the Big Bad.
He sighed. It was not dignified, but who cared? At least it would mean he would have a chance of seeing the age of 200.
########################################################
"*There's a huge nasty demon coming, you know that?*"? commented Inu-Yasha. He'd become aware of its scent over the past few hours of sitting in the cage, staring at Giles reading. He realized now why he had trouble picking out scents in this place. Anything at all supernatural or demonic just blended in with the overall hellish stench. He just noticed individual creatures when he had absolutely nothing to do other than sniff the air.
Giles looked over at him. Over the time he had tried to communicate with Inu-Yasha through the dictionary, he had learned a few important words, including the one for demon. So, of course, he understood Inu-Yasha had said something about a demon. It was just impossible for him to know what, so he just looked confused.
Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes. Stupid incompetent librarian.
Giles grabbed up the dictionary, and flipped through it, trying to recall what exactly Inu-Yasha had just said. Inu-Yasha gritted his teeth, and repeated himself slowly, making it plain to Giles that he thought he was an idiot.
Giles frowned at him, but managed to find a couple words. His eyes grew large as he read them.

Deep in his lair, surrounded by old cardboard boxes, Raal considered his options. He had only a few vampires loyal to him, and it would take many monsters to kill the Slayer. He knew he had to kill her, and all who could oppose him, if he wanted to achieve his goal and rule the land of the Hellmouth.
He finally decided, and called his few minions. They scampered up to him like rats. He would be glad once the Slayer was dead, and he could rid himself of these stupid creatures.
"You will go out tonight," his voice grated. The vampires caught themselves just in time to keep themselves from wincing at the sound. "You will make more vampires. You will make many more vampires. If you do this, we will win over the Hellmouth, and you will all rule by my side. Go!"
The vampires dashed for the door, eager to please him, at least to avoid his wrath. Raal shook his head at their stupidity. They seemed to honestly believe they would be rewarded! He snorted to himself, and rubbed the shard of the Shikon Jewel imbedded in his forehead.
########################################################
"What do you mean, 'big nasty demon'?" exclaimed Giles. Inu-Yasha shook his head for the umpteenth time, and poked pointedly at the bars of the book cage.
Giles sighed. He wasn't ever going to get any information out of him! He groaned, and gave in.
Inu-Yasha grinned as Giles unlocked the cage and let him out. This was more like it! He stretched, and looked at Giles.
"*Like I said, there's a demon coming. Big guy.*" Inu-Yasha gestured, indicating height. "*I can smell him.*"
#########################################################
Buffy's phone rang. She groaned and lifted her head off the pillow. For crying out loud, it was-she checked her clock-three AM! She dropped her head back down, but dragged herself out of bed, knowing she would never get back to sleep, especially with the damn phone ringing.
She shuffled over to her phone, and picked up the receiver.
"'Lo?" she yawned, blinking sleep from her eyes.
"Buffy, it's me, Giles," said Giles on the other end of the line. "I think I've found out what's happening, and I need you to come back to the library."
".'Kay," said Buffy, and hung up.
#############################################################
Buffy arrived at the school, still semi-asleep. She shouldered her way through the door, and stood, facing Giles.
"Whassa matter?" she asked.
"Well, Inu-Yasha said he smelled a demon," said Giles.
"So?" asked Buffy. "This whole place probably smells like demon."
"That's what I thought, at first, too," said Giles. "But then I found this."
He held out a picture of a demon, surrounded by mutating vampires.

Woot, I be done! I may or may not update before Monday, since I have absolutely nothing to do but homework and writing tomorrow (Saturday). Tonight I'm going to a play, so I'd better hurry and go get ready as soon as I've uploaded this!
And I'm not going to bring Kagome and the others in, at least not at this point. I've read fanfics where Inu-Yasha's off on his own, and they always give in and bring in everyone else within 5 chapters, and it drives me nuts. I want something different from usual.
