Tinuviel: Nope. She doesn't remember anything.yet. As for the love thing,

mate but its not gonna happen. And as far as the symbols things, you are
right. But she's not supposed to know till later so don't tell!!! Thanks

Beautiful Stranger Chapter 2 The Meeting
She was falling, falling slowing into a darkness with no end. Her shocked gaze stared around her, looking at the strange bluish light.
'Whoa. I don't think this is how a dried up well is supposed to look like,' she thought doubtfully. Then as suddenly as it appeared, the light faded away and she came back to harsh reality as her bottom forcefully made contact with the hard ground.
"Damn gravity," she muttered, rubbing her sore bottom, throwing glares at the ground. Suddenly, she caught the scent of flowers and trees wafting in the air, tickling her nose.
'Wait.flowers and trees? Where the hell is all the car exhaust and damn pollution?!'. Not that she missed it. It just was strange to be able to breathe and not gag at the same time. Her ears swiveled around, listening expectantly for the sounds of cars but got instead the soft voice of the wind blowing through the trees. She turned and looked up, squinting slightly as sunlight danced across her face.
'Hold the phone.sunlight? But the well is inside!' she screamed inside her head.
"That's it, I'm going to investigate," she nodded to herself, closing that matter with that simple gesture.
"But how am I going go to get out?" she asked to nobody in particular. Her eyes fell upon some tangled vines creeping on the sides of the well.
"Bingo!" She pocketed the strange jewel then reached for the nearest vine. Slowly, she began scaling the side of the well. Beads of perspiration dotted her forehead as she reached the middle. Suddenly, her footing slipped as the vines beneath her collapsed. She hung helplessly onto a single vine, silently cursing her stupidity as the vine groaned under her weight.
"Don't break, dammit! Don't break!" she pleaded with the root. Unfortunately, luck didn't seem to be on her side today as the vine shuddered and finally broke.
She growled to herself as she plummeted towards the ground. With a simple flick of her wrist, her claws came out to their full potential. Twisting herself around in a feline-like manner, she slammed into the wall, her claws digging deep into its depths. She slid a few inches before coming to a sudden halt a few feet above the bottom. She breathed a sigh of relief as she relaxed slightly against the wall. She then banged her head against the wall as a sudden thought struck her.
'Gods, I'm an idiot!' After she banged her head against the well a few more times, she pushed herself of the side and began making her way up, bounding on each side of the well until she reached the top. With one final leap, she made it over the side. What she saw almost made her fall back in with shock. Thankfully she grabbed the side of the well before she did so. Instead of being in the well house, she was in the middle of a forest.
Her mouth stood agape as she took in her surroundings. The ground was blanketed in flowers and the clear blue sky was nearly hidden by the gigantic trees. Her sensitive hearing picked up the sounds of birds chirping and other beings moving around in the forest.
"I.I think I need to sit down," she whispered hoarsely as she lowered herself down upon the edge of the well. She stiffened suddenly as two voices broke the peaceful spell placed upon the scenery.
"For the last time, I tripped!! And then it fell in there!"
"Well then why didn't you go get it?!"
The first voice muttered something that sounded like ".its too dark". Laughter erupted the silence as two boys stepped into view. The one who was laughing looked to be about her age and was wearing what looked like black priest-looking robes. He had black hair that was tied into a ponytail at the base of his neck. What was most curious about him was on his right hand he had a strange black cast-looking thing.
'Priest robes.Those look familiar. Wait, those are the ones that priests were said to have worn in the Feudal Era!'
Her attention turned back towards the boy next to him and she did a double take. He was shorter and looked to be about ten years old. But the thing that caught her attention was that he didn't look all human. His ears were slightly pointed, and instead of regular feet, he had the back legs of a fox. When he turned to hit the other boy, she could see he had a tail. She just sat there in stunned silence, watching them as they approached her.
The black-haired boy finally spotted Sakura. His violet eyes lit up as her ran up to her, almost making her fall back into the well. He grasped her hands, pulling her up and looked into her shocked eyes with the most innocent expression.
"Fair maiden," he said in a smooth voice. 'Too smooth,' Sakura thought with a frown. She was snapped out of her thoughts at his next words.
"Will you bear my child?" Sakura's jaw dropped open at that statement. She struggled to find words to say to this psychotic pervert when she felt a hand caressing her butt. Her left eye twitched as a surge of anger took over her senses.
SMACK!
"HENTAI!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Sango looked up from cleaning Hiraikotsu, a frown evident on her delicate features. Her brow furrowed as she looked around cautiously. Kirara looked up at her mistress, cocking her head as she watched her. Miroku, who was meditating nearby opened one eye as he sensed Sango's unease.
"Anything wrong my dear Sango?"
"I sense a demon nearby." She kept looking around, trying to pin point its location.
"It could be Inuyasha or Karoi. They did say they were going to fit in some more training. I do think Inuyasha is trying to kill the poor boy."
Sango shook her head, rays of sunlight catching a few silver strands of hair in the otherwise ebony locks.
"Its not them. I can sense them somewhere over there." She jerked her head towards the woods near the village. "This is coming from near the well."
Miroku shrugged nonchalantly. "Its probably just Shippo or one of his little friends running about." With that he nodded to himself, closing his eye and resuming his meditation. Sango however cast one last glance towards the direction of the well before going back to cleaning Hiraikotsu. They were silent, each absorbed in their thoughts until a scream broke through the silence.
"HENTAI!!!"
Sango shook her head at the all too familiar shout.
"Miroku, your son has been at it again." At this, Miroku gave one of his famous charming smirks.
"My fair lady, don't not forget that he is also your son."
"Yeah, but which side gave him the perverted traits?" Sango muttered irritably to herself.
Miroku, who had finally given up on trying to meditate just kept smiling and shook his head. His expression then turned thoughtful as he crossed his arms, leaning back against a tree.
"But I thought he had asked all the village women all ready."
Sango dropped the polishing rag in surprise, turning to her husband, a dangerous look on her face.
"You.kept.count?!" She instinctively reached for Hiraikotsu as Miroku flinched waiting for the blow. But fortunately for Miroku it never came. At that moment, their son, Soku, ran by them, screaming at the top of his lungs. The couple just stared after him, wondering if their son had finally gone off the deep end. Suddenly, a blur sped past them twirling what looked like two ninja knives (A/N: I have no clue what they are called so if anyone would want to enlighten me the please do! If not, then they shall be known as the ninja knives ^-^) in its slightly gloved hands. But the figure sped off before they could have a better look at it. They sat there; Miroku pressed against the tree and Sango with Hiraikotsu over her head in mid swing. Miroku broke the stunned silence.
"Well whatever that blur was it definitely was female." A sharp thud concluded that Hiraikotsu had completed its mission and had landed on Mirkou's head. Miroku sat up, shooting a puppy dog face at Sango who muttered incoherently. Finally, bringing up the bizarre parade was Shippo who staggered over to Miroku and Sango, laughing his head off. He collapsed on the ground, rolling around laughing while clutching his stomach. Every now and then he'd try to communicate but only managed to spit out a few words such as "Soku", "beat up" and "he's so dead". Miroku and Sango exchanged confused glances before looking back at Shippou who now looked like a furry tomato. His laughter abruptly stopped as a figure clad in red jumped into the clearing, landing right in front of Shippo.
"What the hell is going on?! We heard screaming from over here. Where's Soku?" The others, who were rendered speechless at the moment, simply pointed in the direction where Soku and the mysterious figure had run off. Inuyasha growled and was about to set off after them when a masculine voice came from the treetops.
"Don't worry Inuyasha. I'll handle this." Inuyasha frowned but nodded, looking up at a figure standing on one of the branches.
"Feh, go ahead. But don't come whining to me if you get beat up by an enraged female." And with that he stubbornly sat down cross-legged, putting his hands in his sleeves as he leaned against the tree, closing his eyes. The figure in the tree smirked before bounding off to find Soku.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soku was currently backed against a tree, trying in vain to calm Sakura down.
"F.Fair maiden, please understand. I was only.uh.swatting a fly off your backside." He glanced nervously around him, looking for any means of escape.
She snorted, walking slowly towards him, still twirling the knives in each hand with practiced precision.
"Right. Give me one good reason I shouldn't just kill you now." She looked at him dangerously, a thin eyebrow rose as she watched him try to get out of trouble.
He gulped at the look, trying to think of something to say that wouldn't dig him deeper into trouble.
"Um.I'm devilishly handsome and it would be a sin to kill me?"
She stopped twirling the knives, gripping the handles tightly. Soku gulped again, wincing as he waited for the sharp blades. Suddenly, a soft, low voice filled the clearing, making the two occupants jump.
"I wouldn't kill him if I were you. If you did, his blood would attract the demons of the forest and I don't think a pretty thing like yourself would be able to face all of them. Especially if she doesn't know what lurks in the shadows."
Sakura looked up, spotting a figure in the trees. She could barely make him out for he stayed within the confines of the shadows. She frowned up at him before letting her two blades fly. There was a dull thud as the blades sunk into the wood. Soku hesitantly opened one eye. To his immense relief, he saw the two knives embedded on either side of him, missing his head by inches.
He then tensed up again as he saw Sakura walking slowly towards him in a seductive manner, stopping in front of him, tossing her hair over her shoulder. She leaned forward, her face inches from his. She started running her fingers up and down the handles of her knives, her emerald gaze never leaving his violet ones.
"You're lucky that I'm not in the mood to deal with these so called demons," she said softly. But her voice turned more menacing at her next words. "Because if I was, I'd be serving them you on a silver platter as their last meal."
And with that she yanked the knives out of the tree, causing him to jump in surprise. She turned swiftly on her heal, starting to walk off in the direction she came from. But she paused, turning to look up at the perverted boy's savior. She growled softly at him, her grip tightening on the handles of her weapons. She then turned and sped off towards the village she saw on her way here.
The figure in the tree chuckled and gracefully leapt out. He had long, wavy white hair that seemed to shine like silk when the sun hit it just right. His ears were slightly pointed and on his cheeks were two turquoise stripes He wore an outfit similar to Inuyasha's except it was a deep blue instead of red (A/N: I think its called a haori or something. Not sure, though). He had a long white fluffy tail that was flicking behind him in amusement. What was most peculiar about him were his eyes. They were a piercing blue that was tinted with silver but it was as though a white fog clouded over them. This indicated the sad truth that he was blind. But he didn't seem too phased about it. On the contrary, he had a smirk on his face and it looked like he was trying to contain laughter. He turned to where the boy stood, finding him with his keen senses.
"Well, wasn't she the sweetest girl ever?" He said, his voice dripping with sarcasm and humor. Soku gazed at Karoi for a moment before snapping out of his stupor and quickly regaining his composure.
"She wants me." He said, smirking. He then brushed off his robes and headed back toward the village. Karoi, who's hearing had picked up the tone in his voice, sighed, shaking his head. He then proceeded to follow Soku to make sure that hanyou girl didn't turn her threat into reality.
Sakura ran through the woods, not even noticing where her feet were taking her. She didn't care at the moment. She was currently thinking of the many ways to kill a certain boy. A smirk appeared on her face as she slipped the knives back in to their respectful pockets. A scream stopped her dead in her tracks as she looked around for the owner. She then noticed she was in a village. And she also noticed uneasily that the people were looking at her with fearful expressions on their faces.
"A demon! In our village!"
"Someone hide the children!"
"No wait, I." Sakura tried to explain but the frightened and angry villagers wouldn't let her.
"She is probably after the Shikon No Tama!"
"Someone call the demon exterminator and her friends!"
At that, a woman wearing an exterminator outfit carrying a large boomerang, and a priest carrying a staff came into view, riding on a huge fire cat. Sakura stood frozen to the spot, staring bewildered at the couple in front of her.
'What's going on? Who are these people? Why are they calling me a demon?'
'Who cares?' another voice at the back of her head sounded. It sounded like hers but it was much harsher than the first. 'Just kill them both! Just slash their weak necks and watch as their life flows out of their veins into your hands.' It laughed, high and cruel causing shivers to run up her spine. But at the same, she noticed her hands were twitching longingly towards her knives. It took all her mental and physical strength to stop them from reaching their destination.
'NO! I can't kill them! That's wrong! Shut up!' With that, her voice of reason drowned out the malicious laughter. She stood there, shaking a bit from the effort.
The woman leapt off the cat, throwing the giant boomerang as she did so.
"Hiraikostu!" She yelled as she threw it. Sakura watched in horror as it came closer. She tried in vain to dodge it and for a second she thought she succeeded. But she felt a heavy blow striking her in the right side. Pain filled every inch of her being, causing her to fall to her knees, clutching her side. A thick, warm liquid oozed down her side and in between her fingers. She looked down to see her hands covered in blood. She gazed back at the woman and the priest, her breathing becoming ragged. The priest was fumbling with what looked like rosary beads on his hand.
"Sakura?" She barely heard the soft, surprised voice, looking up to see a figure clad in red with doggie ears like hers.
'That voice.' she thought blurrily. 'I know that voice.' All of the sudden she gasped as memories came flooding back. Memories of going through a well, playing with two boys, giggling as a woman pummeled a man, and a figure with doggie ears holding her.
Before she could say anything, she felt a strong wind pull her forcefully towards the priest. She sat there helpless as she was being pulled toward certain doom.
"NOOOO!" The winds stopped abruptly. Sakura looked up and saw the figure in red had tackled the priest and was yelling at him. But she couldn't hear him. She struggled to stay conscious, watching as the figure walked up to her. She looked up into a pair of amber orbs, her eyes widening in recognition.
"Daddy?" Finally the darkness was too much, consuming her as she fell into Inuyasha's arms.
Mwhahaha! Another cliffie! Don't worry, I'll try to get this next chapter out ASAP. But the earliest I can get it out will have to be next week 'cause I'm going to my dad's house and he doesn't have a computer. Unless I haul butt and start typing like mad within the next three days.

Also, I need help on endings like -chan and -sama cause I have no idea what means what.

"Well whatever that blur was it definitely was female." A sharp thud concluded that Hiraikotsu had completed its mission and had landed on Mirkou's head. Miroku sat up, shooting a puppy dog face at Sango who muttered incoherently. Finally, bringing up the bizarre parade was Shippo who staggered over to Miroku and Sango, laughing his head off. He collapsed on the ground, rolling around laughing while clutching his stomach. Every now and then he'd try to communicate but only managed to spit out a few words such as "Soku", "beat up" and "he's so dead". Miroku and Sango exchanged confused glances before looking back at Shippou who now looked like a furry tomato. His laughter abruptly stopped as a figure clad in red jumped into the clearing, landing right in front of Shippo.
"What the hell is going on?! We heard screaming from over here. Where's Soku?" The others, who were rendered speechless at the moment, simply pointed in the direction where Soku and the mysterious figure had run off. Inuyasha growled and was about to set off after them when a masculine voice came from the treetops.
"Don't worry Inuyasha. I'll handle this." Inuyasha frowned but nodded, looking up at a figure standing on one of the branches.
"Feh, go ahead. But don't come whining to me if you get beat up by an enraged female." And with that he stubbornly sat down cross-legged, putting his hands in his sleeves as he leaned against the tree, closing his eyes. The figure in the tree smirked before bounding off to find Soku.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soku was currently backed against a tree, trying in vain to calm Sakura down.
"F.Fair maiden, please understand. I was only.uh.swatting a fly off your backside." He glanced nervously around him, looking for any means of escape.
She snorted, walking slowly towards him, still twirling the knives in each hand with practiced precision.
"Right. Give me one good reason I shouldn't just kill you now." She looked at him dangerously, a thin eyebrow rose as she watched him try to get out of trouble.
He gulped at the look, trying to think of something to say that wouldn't dig him deeper into trouble.
"Um.I'm devilishly handsome and it would be a sin to kill me?"
She stopped twirling the knives, gripping the handles tightly. Soku gulped again, wincing as he waited for the sharp blades. Suddenly, a soft, low voice filled the clearing, making the two occupants jump.
"I wouldn't kill him if I were you. If you did, his blood would attract the demons of the forest and I don't think a pretty thing like yourself would be able to face all of them. Especially if she doesn't know what lurks in the shadows."
Sakura looked up, spotting a figure in the trees. She could barely make him out for he stayed within the confines of the shadows. She frowned up at him before letting her two blades fly. There was a dull thud as the blades sunk into the wood. Soku hesitantly opened one eye. To his immense relief, he saw the two knives embedded on either side of him, missing his head by inches.
He then tensed up again as he saw Sakura walking slowly towards him in a seductive manner, stopping in front of him, tossing her hair over her shoulder. She leaned forward, her face inches from his. She started running her fingers up and down the handles of her knives, her emerald gaze never leaving his violet ones.
"You're lucky that I'm not in the mood to deal with these so called demons," she said softly. But her voice turned more menacing at her next words. "Because if I was, I'd be serving them you on a silver platter as their last meal."
And with that she yanked the knives out of the tree, causing him to jump in surprise. She turned swiftly on her heal, starting to walk off in the direction she came from. But she paused, turning to look up at the perverted boy's savior. She growled softly at him, her grip tightening on the handles of her weapons. She then turned and sped off towards the village she saw on her way here.
The figure in the tree chuckled and gracefully leapt out. He had long, wavy white hair that seemed to shine like silk when the sun hit it just right. His ears were slightly pointed and on his cheeks were two turquoise stripes He wore an outfit similar to Inuyasha's except it was a deep blue instead of red (A/N: I think its called a haori or something. Not sure, though). He had a long white fluffy tail that was flicking behind him in amusement. What was most peculiar about him were his eyes. They were a piercing blue that was tinted with silver but it was as though a white fog clouded over them. This indicated the sad truth that he was blind. But he didn't seem too phased about it. On the contrary, he had a smirk on his face and it looked like he was trying to contain laughter. He turned to where the boy stood, finding him with his keen senses.
"Well, wasn't she the sweetest girl ever?" He said, his voice dripping with sarcasm and humor. Soku gazed at Karoi for a moment before snapping out of his stupor and quickly regaining his composure.
"She wants me." He said, smirking. He then brushed off his robes and headed back toward the village. Karoi, who's hearing had picked up the tone in his voice, sighed, shaking his head. He then proceeded to follow Soku to make sure that hanyou girl didn't turn her threat into reality.
Sakura ran through the woods, not even noticing where her feet were taking her. She didn't care at the moment. She was currently thinking of the many ways to kill a certain boy. A smirk appeared on her face as she slipped the knives back in to their respectful pockets. A scream stopped her dead in her tracks as she looked around for the owner. She then noticed she was in a village. And she also noticed uneasily that the people were looking at her with fearful expressions on their faces.
"A demon! In our village!"
"Someone hide the children!"
"No wait, I." Sakura tried to explain but the frightened and angry villagers wouldn't let her.
"She is probably after the Shikon No Tama!"
"Someone call the demon exterminator and her friends!"
At that, a woman wearing an exterminator outfit carrying a large boomerang, and a priest carrying a staff came into view, riding on a huge fire cat. Sakura stood frozen to the spot, staring bewildered at the couple in front of her.
'What's going on? Who are these people? Why are they calling me a demon?'
'Who cares?' another voice at the back of her head sounded. It sounded like hers but it was much harsher than the first. 'Just kill them both! Just slash their weak necks and watch as their life flows out of their veins into your hands.' It laughed, high and cruel causing shivers to run up her spine. But at the same, she noticed her hands were twitching longingly towards her knives. It took all her mental and physical strength to stop them from reaching their destination.
'NO! I can't kill them! That's wrong! Shut up!' With that, her voice of reason drowned out the malicious laughter. She stood there, shaking a bit from the effort.
The woman leapt off the cat, throwing the giant boomerang as she did so.
"Hiraikostu!" She yelled as she threw it. Sakura watched in horror as it came closer. She tried in vain to dodge it and for a second she thought she succeeded. But she felt a heavy blow striking her in the right side. Pain filled every inch of her being, causing her to fall to her knees, clutching her side. A thick, warm liquid oozed down her side and in between her fingers. She looked down to see her hands covered in blood. She gazed back at the woman and the priest, her breathing becoming ragged. The priest was fumbling with what looked like rosary beads on his hand.
"Sakura?" She barely heard the soft, surprised voice, looking up to see a figure clad in red with doggie ears like hers.
'That voice.' she thought blurrily. 'I know that voice.' All of the sudden she gasped as memories came flooding back. Memories of going through a well, playing with two boys, giggling as a woman pummeled a man, and a figure with doggie ears holding her.
Before she could say anything, she felt a strong wind pull her forcefully towards the priest. She sat there helpless as she was being pulled toward certain doom.
"NOOOO!" The winds stopped abruptly. Sakura looked up and saw the figure in red had tackled the priest and was yelling at him. But she couldn't hear him. She struggled to stay conscious, watching as the figure walked up to her. She looked up into a pair of amber orbs, her eyes widening in recognition.
"Daddy?" Finally the darkness was too much, consuming her as she fell into Inuyasha's arms.
Mwhahaha! Another cliffie! Don't worry, I'll try to get this next chapter out ASAP. But the earliest I can get it out will have to be next week 'cause I'm going to my dad's house and he doesn't have a computer. Unless I haul butt and start typing like mad within the next three days. I might 'cause I'm starting to have all these ideas. So much fun ^-^!!! Anyways, please review! I like constructive criticism as much as compliments. Also, I need help on endings like -chan and -sama cause I have no idea what means what. I'm just a dumb American who doesn't know an ounce of Japanese to save her life. ^-^; And I gotta take two years of a different language. X.x Who can say "F"? Just kidding! Bye!!!
