Yo ppls! Not much new things to report besides that school starts in a week
for me. . . ::growls:: so I won't be able to update as fast.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Don't bothering trying to sue me because I only have ::checks pocket:: thirty-seven cents.
And yes, I'm going to be one of those annoying authoresses who thank all the reviewers. If u don't wanna read, skip down.
Review Thanks:
Three-Letter-Word: I guess it is odd Sango would tell Jenny their problem, but anyone who helps the gay toad without killing him has to be good, right?
Katsumi5: You have nothing to worry about. I am a devoted Inu/Kag fan I and refuse to read Sess/Kag. No offense to ppl who like that couple though. As for pairing Jenny with Sess, I will not do so under the wishes of the person that Jenny is based on. I also believe in Sess/Rin (when she gets older) coupling.
Kai19: Thanks for the tip. I don't know very much Japanese. . .
Sesshomaruwuzhere: Hey, you're welcome. I glad I was able to make your character as close to your personality as possible. I like reviews and making the reviewers happy! After all, what's an authoress with her reviewers?
Victoria: Thanks!
Icecream0626: Thanks! Currently, Jenny is a traveling companion to the rest of the Inu-tachi, but as to her part later, that's a mystery. . .
Dark Mirror: Hmmm, your suggested 'sad ending' is similar to what I have in mind, but it's somewhat different. Darn, ppl are cracking my devious plot! ::snaps fingers::
Leon D.S Geeste: thanks!^_^
LeeS DeMoN: Thanks! I estimate this story to last maybe to . . . lets say. . . 10-12 chapters, depends on the length, how much work I have, my mood, and if my mom is gonna be bitching at me about how much time I spend on the computer. . . which is almost all day. . .
SailorKagome: Kewl thanks!
Krynns-kender: U got that right. Wait till u see the story close to the end. ::evil grin::
Red-Tears: Thanks!
Yuxi: hey Yuxi! Thanks sooo much for reviewing! Update soon k? I love your story!
Kanna: Technically, yes Kaede's village would be Inuyasha's territory, but currently since he is berserk mode Kaede is taking over the responsibility of village protectress (again.).

Demon Within
Chp. 7 Future * Look Into My Eyes
*~*~*~*~*
"Sango-chan, Jenny-chan, do you want to go to the hot springs?" Kagome called out to her friends.
"Okay Kagome! Just a minute!" Sango called. She put down her boomerang and the rag she was using to polish it, still glaring at him, something + the fact she was fingering her boomerang that made him very scared. "Come on Jenny-chan," Sango called out. "Let's go!"
Jenny got to her feet and joined the girls on their way to the hot spring, all of them undressing quickly and slipping into the hot water, but not before Sango found a few stones with good throwing heft and put them in a small pile next to springs.
"What's the rocks for?" Jenny asked quizzically.
Sango smirked. "Monk," she replied simply.
Jenny's eyes narrowed. "He wouldn't dare!"
"Relax, we've got a few minutes before he starts peeping on us," Sango smiled and settled happily in the hot water, grabbing the shampoo Kagome offered her.
Jenny made no reply, but she still glanced suspiciously around the area before accepting a bar of soap from Kagome.
All three girls heard a rustling in the bushes and Sango rolled her eyes. She grabbed on of the stones and threw hard at the bushes. They heard a soft, "ow!" before another rustling, signifying the monk's hasty retreat. Kagome giggled, Sango smirked and Jenny rolled her eyes.
After the Girls got out of their bath, laughed at Miroku (who wisely decided to shut up) who had a rather large bump on his head, and rejoined with Kouga and they started off. Kagome rode on her bike with Shippo in the basket and the huge yellow pack sitting on the back. Sango and Miroku rode on Kirara (with Sango carefully making sure he was sitting in front), Jenny and Kouga ran, and Rin rode on Ah-Un. What became of Jaken? Rin grabbed a piece of rope, tied it around Jaken's wrist and tied it to Ah and Un's tail. Now the toad was flailing in the in the air due to the extreme velocity of the wind. (Insert authoress's evil laugh and grin here).
They followed the closet scent Jenny could pick up. After three hours, the group took a break for lunch, eating Instant Ramen. And then they started again, only differently this time.
Shippo leaped off Kagome's bike and onto Kouga's head. "Hi Kouga!" he said, an evil smirk lighting up young face.
(A/N: Shippo smirking? Now that's new.)
"I have a few questions!" He continued cheerfully. Kouga groaned and nearly tripped on a rock.
Kouga swore he saw Sango grin.
Fifteen minutes later, Kouga growled angrily at Shippo. "Stop asking questions!!"
"Why?" Shippo asked innocently. "You're the older youkai. You're supposed to educate my young, raw mind."
"Now I just know someone told you do this." Kouga tried to snatch Shippo off his head but Shippo just laughed and danced on his head. "Why is the sky blue? Who knows? How do fish breathe in water? Do we care? Why is Miroku a pervert? The world may never know!" He chanted.
Kouga finally grabbed him and threw him at Jenny. "You take him!"
Jenny, who was respectively thinking of ways to kill Jaken and where to find Sesshomaru so she didn't have to drag him along, was surprised when Shippo came speeding at her. She caught him, but Shippo, who was now in a general annoying mood, started asking questions. So she tossed him over back to Kouga so she could continue plotting against Jaken.
Kouga didn't want him either, so he tossed Shippo back. And the game of Shippo-Hot-Potato commenced.
"Why is - toss - Inuyasha always - toss - so grumpy? Why - toss - does Jaken have to be so ugly? -toss- ?"
Kouga stopped for a second. "You know, that's a good question," he said. "Hey Jenny!" he called.
"What?" she snapped.
"Why is Jaken ugly?"
"Because he's a gay retard!"
"Ugh! He's gay?"
"No duh! Now please leave me alone!"
Shippo hopped onto Kouga's head, off onto Jenny, who made an annoyed sound, and back into Kagome's bike's basket.
~With the Great Fluffy-Sama!~
When Sesshomaru woke up, the first thought that entered his mind was, ~Where the hell am I?~
He sat up, rubbed his forehead due to having a huge migraine, and glanced at his surroundings. He was apparently in some sort of thick, dark forest, where little light penetrated the leafy tops of the trees and few plants grew on the forest floor. He got and leaned against a tree.
Now, before you go off telling me that he's a great taiyoukai and therefore does should not be feeling pain now, imagine this: You are fighting your weak little half-brother, who's insane, can't feel fear, or even pain. He's suddenly been powered up by god-knows-who, and then he blasted the shit out of you and sent you flying god-knows-where. So now you wake up, in the middle of nowhere, feeling like living shit.
He checked his body for wounds; it seemed any heavy damage had healed while he was unconscious, and he mostly only had little scratches and bruises, though his right arm was broken.
~Great,~ he thought, ~just great. My right arm's broken and I don't have a left arm.~ He sighed in annoyance, knowing that it would heal in a day or two.
The second thought that entered his mind was, ~Where's Rin?~
He sniffed the air gingerly to get some feel of where he was. He caught Rin's scent about a dozen miles away with a large group of others. Apparently it was Inuyasha's human wench and his weak pals. And Jaken. He shuddered in distaste at the gay toad before reverting back to the problem at hand.
Sesshomaru jumped up to the top of the nearest tree and looked around. Apparently the forest he landed in merged with the evergreen forest in the more artic regions about a couple dozen miles from where he was standing. He leaped through the air over to the edge of the forest, landing softly on the ground. He started walking in the direction of the group's approaching scent.
~*~* With the Inu-tachi *~*~
At the same time Jenny and Kouga head's shot up in the air.
"What is it guys?" Kagome asked.
"It's Sesshomaru," Jenny said.
"He's coming this way," Kouga added.
"Is Sesshomaru-sama really coming for Rin?" Rin asked hopefully.
Kagome smiled. "Yes, Rin." She watched the child grin happily and gave a small smile herself. Her eyes turned back to the road in front of her. Maybe luck was finally on their side. Maybe they'd find Sesshomaru, manage to bring Inuyasha to his senses, and this whole nightmare would be over. Her hopes were lifting.
The group took a break for dinner an hour later. Jenny said they were extremely close to Sesshomaru's scent so they could afford to stop for a meal. Kagome was making instant Ramen. Sango finished beating Miroku up and sat down next to Kagome and Shippo. Jenny sat and leaned against a tree and Kouga was somewhere nearby.
"Ramen's done!" Kagome called out cheerfully. She handed a bowl to everyone and started eating hers, though her thoughts were anywhere except her chopsticks and bowl. Kouga sped in and took his share.
Suddenly Jenny set down her ramen. "There's someone coming!" she said.
"Is it Sesshomaru?" Miroku asked.
"No," she said. "It's a different scent. . ."
~*~* A village far, far away *~*~
"It's a demon! Fetch the lord monk!"
We come upon the scene of another village being destroyed by the currently- insane-demon known as Inuyasha. So far, all the women and children evacuated safely and most of the men were fighting him.
Another man threw his spear at Inuyasha and turned to run and find the monk. Inuyasha caught the spear and stabbed another man on his right with, dodged a arrow and ducked under a swinging blade, tripping another man at the same time. He grabbed another spear before it touched him, used it to knock out three men around him and then drive it through the chest of another, before finishing off most of them with his claws.
The now headless or impaled bodies fell to the ground spurting blood.
"Halt demon!"
Inuyasha turned and growled at the monk who spoke. He was wearing robes similar to Miroku's and carried a staff in one hand and another object in the other.
"Had you not killed those other men, I would have forgiven thee with a merciful heart, but I cannot let this pass, demon!" the monk shouted. He held out the other object in his hand, which looked like a purple crystal ball with a red and gold dragon entwined around it. He tapped the end of his staff against it, and the red and gold dragon suddenly leaped to life and wrapped its body around Inuyasha's restraining him and pining his arms to his sides.
The dragon seemed to slowly drag him to the purple crystal ball, trying to trap him inside it. . .
And he smiled.
An act by itself that would have scared the living shit out of any innocent bystanders.
He ripped free of the dragons grasp and drove his claws into the monk's chest. "Demon. . . he moaned before coughing up blood and dieing. Inuyasha smirked and picked up the crystal ball, crushing it in his grasp. Among the shattered pieces of fine glass lay a shikon shards. Smirking, he added those to the ones he already had before dropping the crystal shards on the monks body. Surveying the area, he sniffed the air and started moving.
~*~* The others *~*~
Jenny stood up, pulling out her sword and walking forward. "I know you're there, so don't try hiding! Come out or I'll have to kill you!"
A rustle was heard from the bushes Jenny was staring at and a girl stepped out. "Dang. I guess it's no good hiding from you." She had long brown hair and ice blue eyes. She smiled knowingly and dusted her lavender kimono off.
"What do you want?" Kagome asked.
"I am here to warn you. . ." she replied warmly, trailing off and staring into Kagome's eyes like she could see into her soul.
"Who are you?" Kagome asked.
"My name is Sarah. Relax, I'm not working for Naraku."
"How do'ya know about him?" Shippo asked, bouncing up on Kagome's shoulder.
Sarah smiled and strode forward, gently touching his forehead. "I can read your, young kitsune," she smiled. "I can forsee that you need not grieve over your lost parents, because you will be adopted by new ones. . ."
"What are you warning us about?" Kagome asked.
"I'm here because. . ." Suddenly she cut herself off and whipped around. "They're here!"
A huge mass of demons suddenly came up in the clearing and started attacking them.
"I was trying to warn you about this," she finished. "Naraku thought that it would be best to attack you when your strongest fighter is away."
Jenny, Sango and Miroku leapt into battle right away, hacking through the ranks of demons. Sango climbed on Kirara and starts destroying the flying creatures while Jenny sliced them up underneath her.
"Jenny, Sango, stand back!" Miroku yelled. He was about to uncover the wind tunnel when the hell wasps showed up. "Curse it," he mumbles, covering it up again. So he threw ofudas instead, vaporizing demons when it hit them.
"There isn't any end to them!" Sango yelled as she knocked a bird demon away and Kirara bit down on a flying head.
"C'mon!" Sarah tossed Kagome her bows and arrows and armed herself as well. She drew back the arrow and shot it at the demons, purifying a good mass of them into nonexistence.
Kagome notched an arrow to her bowstring and shot as well. With the two girls helping the other three fighters they won the battle fairly quickly.
Sango dropped down in exhaustion as the wasps flew away and all the demon parts vaporized. "I'm so tired. . ."
Jenny sheathed her sword. "You guys go through this every day? How annoying." She sat down too, leaning against a tree trunk.
"Sarah," Miroku called out, "Would you b~"
"No Miroku, I will not bare your child." Sarah answered calmly. She sat down next to Kagome and set her bow and arrows down.
"Will you help us find Inuyasha?" Kagome pleaded.
Sarah sat up. "Oh yeah. About your dilemma. I cannot help you in your travel. . . but let me see into your mind. . ." She sat opposite of Kagome, taking her hands and concentrating hard. In a minute her eyes glazed over and she started talking in a cooler and calmer voice then before.
"You will see Inuyasha many times before you can stop him. . ." she said. "But he can only be stopped when he decides who is most precious to him. . ."
"That means he'll never decide," Shippo said quietly, rolling is eyes. "Kikyo or Kagome. . ."
"And whatever you do," Sarah's voice echoed, "Always remember your dreams. . ."
Her body suddenly went slack and she fell to the ground.
"Sarah? Sarah?" Kagome shook her shoulders to wake her up. She instantly shot up.
"Did you hear what I said?" Sarah asked worriedly.
Kagome gave her an odd look. "Of course I did, why?"
"Sometimes. . ." Sarah said, "When a person's heart and soul are too indecisive, it can be heard to hear what they cry out for. . ." She got up and brushed herself off. "I have to go now."
"Really?" Shippo asked. She smiled at him and patted his head.
"Sorry Shippo, but I must go." She walked away in the direction she had first appeared, smiling and waving one more time.
Kagome felt her heart beat like crazy. ~ When a person's heart and soul are too indecisive, it can be heard to hear what they cry out for. . .~ Did that mean she wanted Inuyasha to pick between her and Kikyo?
She stared at the bushes and nearly jumped out of her skin when Miroku, yet again, ruined the moment with a loud "PERVEEEEEEEEEEEERT!!!!"

"Sango-chan, Jenny-chan, do you want to go to the hot springs?" Kagome called out to her friends.
"Okay Kagome! Just a minute!" Sango called. She put down her boomerang and the rag she was using to polish it, still glaring at him, something + the fact she was fingering her boomerang that made him very scared. "Come on Jenny-chan," Sango called out. "Let's go!"
Jenny got to her feet and joined the girls on their way to the hot spring, all of them undressing quickly and slipping into the hot water, but not before Sango found a few stones with good throwing heft and put them in a small pile next to springs.
"What's the rocks for?" Jenny asked quizzically.
Sango smirked. "Monk," she replied simply.

"Relax, we've got a few minutes before he starts peeping on us," Sango smiled and settled happily in the hot water, grabbing the shampoo Kagome offered her.

Sarah sat up. "Oh yeah. About your dilemma. I cannot help you in your travel. . . but let me see into your mind. . ." She sat opposite of Kagome, taking her hands and concentrating hard. In a minute her eyes glazed over and she started talking in a cooler and calmer voice then before.
"You will see Inuyasha many times before you can stop him. . ." she said. "But he can only be stopped when he decides who is most precious to him. . ."
"That means he'll never decide," Shippo said quietly, rolling is eyes. "Kikyo or Kagome. . ."
"And whatever you do," Sarah's voice echoed, "Always remember your dreams. . ."
Her body suddenly went slack and she fell to the ground.
"Sarah? Sarah?" Kagome shook her shoulders to wake her up. She instantly shot up.
"Did you hear what I said?" Sarah asked worriedly.
Kagome gave her an odd look. "Of course I did, why?"
"Sometimes. . ." Sarah said, "When a person's heart and soul are too indecisive, it can be heard to hear what they cry out for. . ." She got up and brushed herself off. "I have to go now."
"Really?" Shippo asked. She smiled at him and patted his head.
"Sorry Shippo, but I must go." She walked away in the direction she had first appeared, smiling and waving one more time.
Kagome felt her heart beat like crazy. ~ When a person's heart and soul are too indecisive, it can be heard to hear what they cry out for. . .~ Did that mean she wanted Inuyasha to pick between her and Kikyo?
She stared at the bushes and nearly jumped out of her skin when Miroku, yet again, ruined the moment with a loud "PERVEEEEEEEEEEEERT!!!!"
