a/n: I have way to many ideas in my head. They're eating my insides! I've
been writing three other stories other then stronger but the problem is
their on paper. -_-" I also have two Ranma ½ ideas, one's a one shot and
the second one will be long. And then last week I thought up an idea for a
sesshy/Kag fic! ARGGGGHH!! the ideas are just eating me!!! : Looks like a
lunatic: But I hope you enjoy this chapter and I'm not bribing you to
review I'm just giving you stuff you'd like to have to persuade you to
review. Yeah that's it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha, none us do. I just enjoy making his life
a living hell! MWAHAHAHA

He sat in his tree alone. It was late at night and everyone was
asleep, especially Kagome, but no matter how tired he was, he just couldn't
bring himself to sleep.
'You're worried'. That female voice in his head said again. Where did she
come from and why couldn't he have a guy driving him insane?!
'No I'm not…I'm just not tired.' Inu-Yasha countered.
'You're thinking 'She'll get hurt because of Me right?'
'No I'm not!'
'Inu-Yasha you don't have to lie to me. It's not like I can tell anyone.'
Inu-Yasha sighed, she was right. All he knew was that he was having an
argument with his inner voice. 'Okay I'm worried about Kagome getting hurt
by this Mora bitch.'
'You should run.'
'No she'll need me.' Inu-Yasha's voice was full of emotion.
'She won't be able to concentrate with you around yelling at her.' The
woman's voice was flat and emotionless. 'If you leave now, and give
yourself to Mora Kagome won't be in danger.'
'Who are you to talk bitch!' He yelled 'If I leave then that would do me
no good! I've been waiting to long to see her again and what would it all
be worth to run away! All I know that Mora bitch would take me and kill
Kagome and the same time.'
'Now that you got that out.' The woman said happily 'I can keep talking to
you.'
'What do you mean 'now that you got that out?'
'You finally admitted you care about Kagome.'
'I might care about her but it's not like she cares about me.'
The voice growled 'WILL YOU OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES AND GET A CLUE! She cares
about you enough to risk her life for you!'
Inu-Yasha was quiet as he thought it over. So many times when he had almost
died, she had refused to let down and she even threw herself in front of
him that time Sesshoumaru was going to kill him. 'She does care about me.'
'I'm glad that you've got that much cleared up. Now I can try to fix you!'
'What!'
'First let me introduce myself. The name is Ichigaki.'
'Ichigaki as in that bitch that tried to kill me?'
'Yes and no…'
'Which one!'
'I am Ichigaki Tsukani fire spirit of the south.'
'You are the bitch that tried to kill us!' Inu-Yasha growled.
'That's not me. Let me tell you a story.'
'Keh! I can't sleep and I can't shut my brain off so what's stopping you?'

Ichigaki waves good-bye to Gombei at the mountain and disappears. When she
reappears the sight in front of her is horrific.
She is standing at the gates to a city. But the gates have been blown
away. All over the city it is destroyed and bodies lie mangled and dead as
she walks her eyes wide and her hand over her mouth.
'My god who did all this…' She thinks as she glances up at a building
that is still in tact. "M-mother Ryo" running through the maze of dead
women and children she makes her way to the building.
Shadows loom in the dark house as Ichigaki raises her hand and a
glowing orb of fire appears in her palm. "M-Mother… R-Ryo!" she calls out
in to the darkness as she continues to walk.
"So you've finally made it Ichigaki." A cold voice says in a corner.
"Who are you?" Ichigaki shouts standing still. Unknown lights soon
appear and she sees a woman with blonde hair in the corner to her left.
"That's not a way to greet some one who has been looking for you."
The lady says looking at Ichigaki with cold red eyes. "Your brother and I
have been waiting such a long time for you to arrive, isn't that right
Ryo?"
Ichigaki looks at her as she waves her hand and a small boy appears in
front of her his hands tied together as he kneels in front of Ichigaki. "R-
Ryo." She whispers in disbelief looking at all the wounds on his body. Her
eyes look quickly at the woman. "What do you want?"
"I want you to give me your soul, I want to have control of the
greatest power of all…love." The lady says coldly.
"R-run away nee-san." Ryo struggles to say tears in his eyes as the
lady runs her finger across his arm.
"Tsk tsk did I say you could talk?" She says as a deep cut appears
where she touched him.
"If I agree to you you'll let him go."
"Why yes, what is a little beat up boy worth to me." The lady says.
"You will also leave my family alone." Ichigaki yells looking down as
the lady touches Ryo again.
"Of course, I don't need them."
Ichigaki dunks her head as she softly whispers, "I-I'll go." The lady
smiles ruefully as she stands and kicks the boy into the wall.
"Good, The name's Mora." She takes out a dagger and plunges it into
Ichigaki's back. Ryo looks at this and starts to cry as Ichigaki screams in
pain. "Welcome to my world."
Ichigaki's body slumps and she falls to the floor. Mora takes the
dagger out and licks the blood. A flick of her fingers and Ichigaki's limp
body is suspended in the air. Ryo bolts to his feet and kicks Mora.
"Leave Ichi alone!" the small five year old says as Mora turns to him
and grabs him by the neck. "L-leave nee-san a-alone." he gasps out as Mora
snaps his neck killing him. She drops his body to the floor and turns back
to Ichigaki.
Her hand hovers over Ichigaki's mouth her soul drains out of her.
Plucking the soul from the air she holds it. Slicing her hand she lets
black drops of blood drip onto the white soul turning it pure black. She
then releases the soul and it floats back into Ichigaki's mouth.
Mora drops Ichigaki and she lands with a loud thump. Looking down at
the girl with ruby hair Mora licks the rest of the blood off her hand,
"Stand." Ichigaki stands looking at Mora. "Good my servant."

'That's how it all happened.' Ichigaki said to Inu-Yasha. 'After that
she took control of me and used me to kill lots of people just to get her
blood and pure souls to eat.'
'You gave your self up to save your brother even though her ended up
dying in the end. What happen to your mother?'
'Mora killed her when she first went to my village. My mother tried
to protect Ryo. She killed every person in that village just to get me.'
Ichigaki sounded on the edge of tears.
'So Mora wants me.'
'Yes and now she wants Kagome.'
Inu-Yasha put his face in his hands. 'I have a plan.'
'What is it?'
'All I'm telling you is that Mora won't be able to get Kagome.'
'It won't work.'
'I just can't let Kagome get hurt, if she loses and Mora kills
her…I'll kill myself then!'
'You really love Kagome.'
Inu-Yasha blushed. 'Leave me alone wench!' Ichigaki began to laugh
and left the han-you sitting in the tree thinking his plan over.
"No matter what Kagome, I won't let you get hurt." Inu-Yasha said as
he closed his eyes and finally went to sleep.
'Inu-Yasha…I'm sorry again.' A pair of blue eyes thought as a young
Japanese girl with medium black hair said as she changed into a small
silver fox and jumped up the tree.
Placing a note by Inu-Yasha she crawled on the sleeping han-you and
kissed him on the forehead. As the small fox disappeared the Han-you sighed
in his sleep as he dreamed about the girl he loved from the future.

A/n I know it sucks and is short I'm sorry I just wanted to make a chapter
about Ichigaki's past and now Kagome's left again… I wonder why! And what
will be Inu-Yasha's great plan!! You just have to wait and REVIEW!!!!!
