Disclaimer: Well, I still don't own him, *Looks at Inu Yasha puppy doll
sitting in bed with bandages all over him * See what owning you is doing to
me? If I just had the rights to you, then I wouldn't have to put you
through this. You and I would live happily together and I would be able to
do what I have always wanted. . .* sighs dreamily *
Makinglifeabetterplace: Ah, yes, hello again 'Update-ing One.' You think that hokie-pokie is a funny word too? I thought I was the only one! ^_^ Well, the time changes were only cause I don't think you readers wanted to have three little chapters about her life growing up. I decided to just throw it all into one giant mess and * looks around room * it looks like I succeeded in the mess. That's one big mess. . . Oh, and before I forget, I am going to begin reading your fanfic, 'The Inu Yasha Cast's One Week In Hell' (a free story plug for you!) but, alas, I haven't yet. . . I will though! I promise. Well, then * sits you down in chair and ties you to it * your honor has been fulfilled. * bow *
HieiKitty: Thank you, friend! I am glad you reviewed after so long without doing so. . . * taps foot on ground * Well, thanks anyway, and I would be more then happy to help you with your story. You just need to tell me where you want to go with it.

"We are the knights who say 'ni!'" -Monty Python and the Holy Grail
~*~ Chapter Eight: Attacked ~*~
Sara walked alone through the strange forest. To most, the night was perfect. A warm, gentile breeze; the moon, full and shining beautifully; and the stars that shone brightly on this cloudless night blanketing the sky. To Sara, however, this night was hell. Alas, this was her one night without her youkai powers. She was full human and to top it all off, her mother had also passed down from the human life something that horrified her: a week of being in heat every month.
"Damn it! Why did my one night without being able to have powers have to fall on a night I was in heat?" she asked aloud, frustrated with the whole ordeal. On nights of a full moon, her skeleton changes to become that of a mere human, so her well fitting armor dint fit. She was instead in a comfortable kimono the people of Haniko had made her. 'I hate being full human! It makes me feel even more useless.'
She walked to the edge of the forest and into a clearing. The moon beamed down on her and showed her new features clearly. Her dark brown hair was replaced by long, flowing blond strands. The once silver eyes were replaced be hazel ones. Instead if her wolf-like ears on her head, he was forced to have less sensitive human ones on the sides of her skull. Her fangs were gone, and her vision was nothing like it was earlier in the day.
'If there are any youkai around,' she thought as her clawless hands grasped both her katanas, 'I'm screwed. Being in heat will draw them to me,' Sara sighed, walking toward the new village that was just beyond the clearing. 'It always does.'
Most everyone and everything were asleep at this time of night, so she decided to wander around until morning. The moon seemed to give and eerie glow of life to the peaceful village, and the feeling didn't cease when she felt she was being watched.
"Damn!" Sara cursed aloud. Even though her hearing wasn't as sharp as it would've been, she could still hear the rustling. She knew she would meet up with one, there was no escaping that. Sara pulled out her katanas and stood, ready for anything.
A large snake youkai approached her, all too quickly for her to react. Fangs ripped through the flesh of her right leg, tearing the muscles that had protected the bone. Sara collapsed, from pain and dizziness, while a small gasp broke through her lips. While the youkai still had its fangs dug deep into her leg, she lifted her arm, stretching and ripping the kimono because of the weight of the snake. With one swift movement, her katana had penetrated its skull. Killed instantly, the youkai's movements stopped.
With all the strength she could gather, Sara lifted the head from her leg, hissing at the pain when the fang left her skin. She fell back, trying to suck up the pain. Her leg, however much she tried, would stop hurting. The burning sensation left little doubt in her mind that she was injected with poison. Unable to hold it in any longer, She screamed, not caring if she woke any of the villagers up.
Her scream pierced the silent air around the village. Her hazel eyes were loosing their ability to see, so everything was a blur to her. Voices surrounded her, and from all the hustle and bustle of the villagers came a breeze. She shivered, realizing only now that her kimono was ruined and she was basically exposed to all those around her. In front of her face was a black and white blur, with silver behind it. Pain streamed through her, and her body was begging for a way to relieve itself from the agony. Sara felt her body being lifted, but after a brief moment, she was laid back down.
The emotions were too much for her to deal with. With one last breath, she gave into the darkness.
~*~ End Chapter~*~
Inu Face: Can anyone guess where she is? Oh, and does and one know the name of the village where Kikyo and Keade live? OH NO!! I just gave away the answer! * cries in corner *
