The Other Hanyou

Chapter 1: Sensing Something Strange

a/n: I WILL own Inu Yasha (once I achieve world domination), but for now, I don't, so please don't sue my pants off... I need them...

Warning: I am not a native Japenese speaker, so if I mess up, don't blame me, blame my dictionary.

Please review, this is my first Inu Yasha fanfic. Actually, this is my first fanfic period. Praise and flames welcomed in e-mail of reviews (e-mail at lore1221@aol.com).

a/n: This fic takes place after the Inu Yasha group complete the Shikon no Tama and defeat Naraku. For this fic, neither Inu Yasha or Kagome have admitted their feelings for each other, although it is painfully obvious to the rest of the group.

Inu Yasha crashed through the forest, nimbly jumping from tree to tree. He was hot on the trail of a demon Kagome said had a Shikon no Tama shard. The scent was familiar almost, a bit like jasmine, a bit like... No, he wasn't going to think about Kikyou, he had Kagome now, even if it was an unrequitted love [a/n: shows how much he knows, ne?]. Plus, Kikyou wasn't a demon, even though this demon smelled vaugely of her, and she certainly didn't have any of the shards. Shaking the thoughts from his head, Inu Yasha purposefully sped up, increasing his pace. He didn't want the others, who were riding on Kirara's back, to catch up just yet; not until he figured out why this demon seemed so familiar. There was another reason Inu Yasha didn't want his friends close behind. The demon was actually a demoness, an Inu-demoness, a hanyou Inu-demoness, and he wanted to investigate this strange creature without the distraction of Kagome or anyone else. 'How can this be?' Inu Yasha thought, 'I was sure I was the only one!' Luckily, the wind was in his favor, so the demoness couldn't sense him yet. Still he got the feeling that the other hanyou was expecting him...

Ooo, cliff hanger! Who is the demoness? How does she change Inu Yasha's life forever? Will there be a hard decision in his future? Will I ever stop asking questions? Who knows? Me! Review and I'll tell you!
