Author's note/disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or it's characters, they
belong to Rumiko Takahashi, an absolutely brilliant woman. However I do
own my version of death (Nightwalker) and any original characters. Okay
here goes. Second chapter, hope I can pull a J.K. Rowling and make the
second better than the first. And I hate spell check.

Chapter 2
Inuyasha woke quickly from his nightmare. As soon as he sat up in bed his head stung with pain, and it quickly traveled to his whole body. His vision was gone and he could feel dried blood all over his body and in his hair. He was only in undergarments. The room was very cold. And he couldn't see anything at all.
"Inuyasha? Are you okay? It's me Miroku!!! If you can hear me, give me a sign!" a familiar voice shouted.
"Miroku."
"Yes, Inuyasha?"
"Go to Hell."
And with that Inuyasha felt a quick blow of pain over his head from a staff and heard a fuzzy announcement there was no further damage to his brain. He stiffly smiled and went back to sleep.
Inuyasha woke once again, clothed and cleaned up. His sores were more of a dull pain than before. He could also feel bandages. He still couldn't see due to bandages. And tried to find the not. Then a calm and serene voice cut through his ears.
"I suggest you do not do that. You sustained cuts in your eyes due to nearly being devoured by a monster. Until he sensed the demon in you. Mortal." a strange yet familiar voice said.
:: That voice, I've never heard it spoken, but I heard it in my head. She is::
"Death, half breed." She viciously snarled. "I told you I'd find you. However, you have to do me a favor, well him a favor. And I can't tell you who he is. This demon must be destroyed by all costs." She ended coldly.
"What demon?" Inuyasha inquired.
"You mean you didn't see it?" she said incredulously.
"Well when you appeared from no where everything seem to go blank, it was all fuzzy and stuff, the people where gone."
"They were gone. the demon killed them, he snapped the executioner right up in front of your eyes. You were covered in his blood."
"How are we to fight them?"
"We?"
"Well obviously you're the only one who knows we're up against. Kagome and Sango weren't anywhere to be found. Miroku was here and the little girl was probably in the same state of shock. Unless."
"She is the reason he came. I don't know their connection, but he killed the feudal lord and his wife, and many children all presumed dead with the servants and everyone else also, it may have to do with her."
Inuyasha's eyes leapt over to the far wall to see the little girl. She now wore a red kimono with gold embroidered foxes, and the cuffs were kingfisher blue and so was the ribbon tying her hair in a low ponytail. She had makeup on her eyes and lips, red as blood, and some rouge on her cheeks. Her dark eyes were like pools of emptiness, there was no emotion in her, and Inuyasha, for once, felt intimidated. He would not work with her; he could tell she was evil. And in her forehead there was a jewel fragment, ones in each of her wrists and her ankles, which were uncovered. :: And I wonder why he is following her.::
"Inuyasha, don't attack me. You will make him upset and you will end up the same way as my family and those villagers." She said, her voice soft, and sent a chill up Inuyasha's spine as he felt his hair stand on end. She smirked, and revealed fangs.
"Y-y-y-you're a. a"
"Half demon."
"What?"
"Why do you think my stepmother hated me? I wasn't hers; my father had an affair with a beautiful female half kitsune and half siren. What half was he attracted to? The kitsune, he truly loved her, and disliked the woman he had been arranged to marry and forced to have children with."
"But.."
"Of course once the demon was killed 'accidentally', she was able to gain control once more. And make my father believe whatever she wanted. Anyway, my name is Haruna, and I will give you these jewel shard fragments and the rest of the jewel if you agree to do something in return."
"And that would be?"
"KILL THE DEMON FOOL! Ahem, anyway he has the rest of my jewel shards given to me by my mother before she died. That's what is great about being half kitsune; you can be anyone you want to be. Especially when it is so easy to slaughter your gullible teenage half sister, and trick the foolish woman into telling you her plan on how to kill you, which involves your father and for her to give me what was rightfully mine, not my sisters."
"The jewel shards."
"Yes. Good doggy." she smirked. "Now let's go." With that she got up and left. Inuyasha got up out of bed to follow until he realized he was only in shorts and a short kimono top in the middle of winter.
"Yo death. I need my kimono."
"I prefer Nightwalker, but I thought you could use something different." With that Inuyasha felt warmer, he had a new kimono on. It was very comfortable, it was kingfisher blue, and the cuffs were white. His however had little embroidered dogs on them in silver. And his long white hair pulled back in a green ribbon, which matched his armor.
"This is."
"Dragon hide." she said with a comforting smile. "And that's not all."she said as she looked in another direction. There on another bed laid the Tetseiga polished and sharpened.
"And this is well the ocarina of Rosemary." She said giving him a beautiful silver ocarina with a silver fairy atop it. However this fairy looked disgruntled and unhappy.
"Ummm I think I should tell you. I was never quite the musician."
"Probably weren't, all you have to say is emera musicai and the fairy shall play it for you. And with that I will come to aid you."
"Why don't you just come with us?"
"I can't, that ocarina, I stole from Rosemary herself while she slept. She need not use it for me anymore. I can sniff out death, so now she can leave her crystal ball and become frivolous and social once more. While her husband, Lucifer sits on his thrown and is bombarded with many things to do. Only I can hear it. Anyway I still have a job to do. I can only help you once. This is all up to you, but even for a mortal, you can do it."
"Well thank you! But as you must know.. I have a job to do!" Inuyasha said looking at the prospect of a challenge.
" Be warned Naraku and Sesshomaru will pursue you and the shards. Stay alert, because they happen to be the least of your worries." she said quietly as she looked out the window and towards the little girl. "Death has tainted her soul and she is not to be trusted, however she remains and asset to you."
"Okay I will keep that in mind. Goodbye and thanks."
"Don't forget, I intend to keep my promise. Good luck and use the ocarina to let me know when you have the jewel also. Farewell halfbreed."
And with that Inuyasha walked out the door to join the gang. And to discover Shippou had come to join them. Then he glanced at the girl and she smirked.
"Let's go kill this bastard. He keeps ruining my life, how will I ever be married if he kills everyone who crosses my path. I know where he lives. Mind you it can be dangerous. And many of you could be killed, I could careless, but being human.. You selfishly do care and we may need you during the battle." Haruna spoke her soft and monotone voice floating over the icy cold fingers of winter. And with that they started.
