Legal Note: I don't own Inu-yasha. Why not? Because I lost it in a bid for copyright. The winner was Rumiko Takahashi. It helps that she made it and I just wanted to be able to say I owned it. Anyway lets move on.

I had fled from my friends three days ago. I had no idea where I was going, no where to stay, and I haven't eaten. That was until I found myself in a field eating carrots from the ground. That's when someone hit me over the head with a hoe.

"Ow! What you do that for?!" I turned to a girl about Kagome's age with long dark brown hair wearing some raggy clothing. "A woman?"

"Huh? You're not a demon." She brought the tool down as I heard my stomach grumble. "You must be hungry. Are you a wanderer?"

"Not really. I just don't have anywhere to be." I said sitting down avoiding eye contact.

"You should stay here then. We need a new farm hand." She took my hand bringing me to my feet.

"I'm grateful I guess." I finally turned to her to see her smile.

"My name's Kaomi by the way." She led me toward the town.

"Uh, I'm Inu-yasha."

"Dog demon?" She looked at me puzzled. "Why are you named that? You aren't a demon that looks human are you?"

"Of course not. To tell the truth I was once half demon, but now I'm all human."

"How does that happen?" We had stopped walking now.

"Well, I was cursed." She was looking me up and down stopping on the Heisotsu. To tell the truth I forgot I still had it. "This is all I have now."

"Well, I guess you may stay with me and my dad helping on the farm." She started leading me to town again. "We'll have to change your name though."

"What the hell for?"

"Some people may find Inu-yasha a questionable name."

"Fine. What will my new name be?" I looked away to a few kids who were playing with a ball.

"How about Daisuke? It's a very common name."

"Whatever. It's a name."

My new name is Daisuke. I'm a farmer.

I had worked on the farm four days. I even did some smith worth making knives. I was doing fine here, and Kaomi and her father were great people. Kaomi was the nicest, she made me meals and sewed up my clothes that ripped as well as washed them. I could bare living here. I'm guessing I'd have a human life span now. This afternoon I was harvesting crops with Kaomi.

"You've gotten use to this In-Daisuke." She kind of laughed.

"It's not a hard job." I wiped some sweat from my face looking to the sky. "Easier than what I used to do."

"What did you use to do? When you were a half demon." She stopped picking the vegetables.

"I fought demons for the Shikon no Tama. Some times I just fought demons."

"You don't sound like any demon I've heard of." She stood with a full basket. "You sound like you were a good demon and very useful to people. You've probably saved many." She smiled, but frowned when I looked away.

"I was useful back then. Now I ain't."

"I'm sorry Daisuke. I said something wrong."

"No it's fine." I looked back wearing a fake smile that made her smile too.

"We should bring in today's crops." She started walking away when a scream came from town followed by a building falling. "Oh no. It's a demon!" I dropped the crops running into town.

"Where's the jewel shard?! Master Naraku wants it!" A pig demon was tearing up the street. I had a feeling it was being controlled with a jewel shard.

"Stop this Bacon Butt." I took the Heisotsu as the pig turned to me. It was the ten times the size of a normal pig. To tell the truth it may have been a boar.
"I will hand Naraku nothing." So Naraku was up to his old tricks again.

"You're a demon? No I'm mistaken" The pig turned back to it's search as I got pissed. I slashed his back with the Heisotsu. "Argh! You'll pay for that human!"

"My name is Inu-yasha. I will not let you harm these people!" I hit him once more.

"Inu-yasha?! The brother to the lord of the western lands?" The boar turned to me with anger. "You have no demon blood."

"I did once. Now come." I stood five feet from him as he charged at me. I saw the same surge of wind that I did against Sessho-maru. I hit that spot splitting the beast in two. I saw the pink glow of a shard and took it as the beast became normal. "I am still."

"Inu-yasha!" Kaomi ran to me hugging tightly. "I was so scared. That's, a Shikon shard right?"

"Yeah. You have another in town? I'll take it then. My old job was to protect this." I broke our embrace. "I'm leaving Kaomi. I'm not useless."

That's right. I can still fight when it mattered most. That one loss to Koga meant nothing. I'm still strong enough to protect everyone.

That's chapter seven, but I don't think I want to write the next chapter as it is. I have some weird notion of teaching Inu the Hiryu Shoten Ha. That move from Ranma. I'm having mixed feelings about it though. If you disagree with what I'm thinking tell me and give me an idea to fill in that space okay. Until I have some idea what I'm doing I won't write another.

I've been awake two days straight so my stories are beginning to go sour. The plot I wrote down didn't go too in depth. I wonder if anyone is even reading this anymore.
