Sesshamaru emerges from the old temple with the naked young woman. Jaken and the little girl are surprised but seem happy. "Now Sesshamaru Inuyasha your half brother is nearby..I need you to attack me." Sesshamaru is confused and gives a puzzled look at her "Attack you!? For what?" " Just do it. Enough to hurt me but not kill." Sesshamaru sighs and draws his sword. " This isn't going to be easy. But if it must be done...then so be it!!!" He attacks the woman.

Inuyasha starts running "Hey Wait! Why are you running Inuyasha!" Kagome yells at Inuyasha " I've picked up on Sesshamaru's scent! He's nearby .just beyond that hill" Inuyasha looks back at Sango and Kagome " Stay here it could be dangerous." Miroku follows Inuyasha. " I also smell blood.demon blood." He tells Miroku. Both men see a brown object in the distance on the ground. Inuyasha draws his sword and Miroku holds his right hand (wind tunnel anyone?). As they approach the fallen object they realize that it is a naked woman. " Be careful Miroku it could be a trap." " I don't think so Inuyasha it looks hurt to me." Miroku pokes the body with his staff and she stirs and falls on her back. Noticing that it is indeed a woman (Both of them blush) Inuyasha takes of his red jacket and covers her wounded naked body. Miroku carries her back to the forest where Sango and Kagome are waiting. ( that fox demon and Kilala are also with them). "What happened to her?" " I really don't know. Me and Inuyasha found her near that old temple just beyond that hill. Where Inuyasha picked up Sesshamaru's scent." Miroku tells Kagome. " So you didn't find Sesshamaru?" Sango inquires "No, but I bet he's the one behind this malicious attack. That Bastard!" The woman groans and grimaces " Sessha." her voice trails off. " I knew it!" Inuyasha storms off. And the gang takes her back to their wooden hut out of the forest.

" Lord Sesshamaru I don't mean to question you or anything.but umm.why were you harsh with that woman...you could've." " What Jaken killed her? I did what she asked me to do and that's that. Hopefully she'll come through on our arrangement."

* A few days have passed well more like a week and the demon-woman is still ill.or is she?? (lol I'm stupid). It's a warm spring morning. Sango, Inuyasha and Kagome are taking a walk near the hut looking for more medicine and anything to eat. Shippo is in the hut with the woman-demon annoying the hell out of her with his humming.*

The demon-woman has flashes of her past life and of Sesshamaru. She doesn't understand why she has been brought back. Finally it comes to her as she remembers the fight with Sesshamaru. She tosses over.

" Wow! You're awake.Maybe I should go tell Miroku. He's at the lake fishing for dinner." "No." her voice is weak " leave him be..". She thinks to herself ~ and me too~ " So how are you feeling?" " I'm okay I guess..I feel a lot better then I did a few days ago." " Well that's nice to hear. By the way what's your name?" the demon-woman looks at Shippo rather confused. ~ I can't tell you my real name then Inuyasha will know exactly who I am. I cant risk that.. C'mon think of a name anything!~ " My name is Megami." " You don't sound so sure." Shippo looks at Megami pretty hard. " Shippo leave Megami alone!" Miroku enters the hut with a bundle of blue fish. " Megami." He says her name as if he were reciting poetry. " That's such a lovely name for such a lovely girl." Shippo sighs and walks outside. " Lovely huh? Is that what you think of me?" Megami sits up. She still has Inuyasha jacket on but its open. You can't see anything cause of bandages but Miroku blushes and Megami laughs to herself. " I'm sorry Miroku is it?"

"Yeah." " Well.I haven't showered in a few days so sorry if I don't feel Lovely. I see that you know where I can get a bath judging by your huge catch. So can you take me to the lake?" " I don't know if I should youre still very weak from all your wounds. I think that you should at least wait one more day." "Please Miroku it'll only be a minute.no one will ever know we were gone. It'll be our little secret." She smiles at Miroku flirtatiously. " Okay c'mon."

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

" I don't think we can trust her." " Trust who Sango?" " That girl that Miroku and Inuyasha found. Don't you find it strange that after Inuyasha picked up on Sesshamaru scent he finds her with sacred jewel shards in her?" "She does look familiar." Inuyasha says out loud thinking to himself. "What was that Inuyasha?" Kagome asks him " All I said was that she looked familiar. Maybe not with looks but she sure does feel familiar." " So do we need to keep an eye on her then?" " We should." Sango tells them both " No we shouldn't." Inuyasha tells Sango. " All I know is that a woman is badly hurt. If this is a trap or something Sango, we would already know." " How can you be so sure! Im not going to let this happen again when we fail to see the signs leading to trouble. We know nothing about her not even a name and we are suppose to let that go?" Sango replies rather harshly. She heads back to the hut leaving Inuyasha and Kagome. "Sango wait-" " Let her go Kagome." " How can you be like that Inuyasha? Something is clearly wrong with Sango." " It's her brother she's really talking about."not going to let this happen again" Let her deal with it." Inuyasha continues walking. Kagome nods her head and follows but looks back at a disappearing Sango. ~ It must be hard for Sango. Not knowing whether or not your brother is dead or alive.~

Back at the lake...( Megami is swimming around the lake by herself. Miroku is on look-out incase Sesshamaru tries anything. (yeah okay wait for that to happen.). He has his back turned to her but is so tempted to turn around just for a quick second. Nevertheless Miroku doesn't do it he wants to make a good first impression and not come off like a creep. Megami stops swimming and takes of the semi-bloody bandages (She would have done that first but she was too excited once she saw the lake.) revealing her wounds. She bits her lower lip indicating that the wounds still hurt. She sits in the cold water for about ten seconds before noticing that Miroku has his back turned to her. She yells to Miroku " I need some help Miroku taking of these bandages." She holds her head down so her black hair will cover her naked body. Miroku turns to face Megami. He slowly takes of his cloak and walks to the bank of the lake. He walks into the water then swims to Megami. She throws her hair back and kisses Miroku before he has a chance to admire her. ~ This could complicate things. It would be real easy to tell Miroku my true meaning for being here but to that might mean death to both him and me. Not to mention the others. Why has Sesshamaru chosen me of all people to do this? He knows my history with Inuyasha. I could never kill him and that's exactly what he wants. I know Sesshamaru all to well. ~ " What's wrong?" Miroku inquires Megami while lifting her head up a little.

" Uhhh...it's nothing really. I had some sort of flashback." " You want to talk about it or go back to the hut?" " No but I'll tell you what I do want." " And what might that be?" " I want you out of those clothes." Miroku raises his eyebrows.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Sango comes back to the hut after leaving Inuyasha and Kagome behind. She looks into the hut and is puzzled. She sees the fish that Miroku has caught but there's no sign of him or that strange woman-demon. Sango looks around and find Shippo on the ground coloring and humming." Shippo where is Miroku and that Woman-Demon?" " Where's Inuyasha and Kagome? Did you bring me anything back?" " Shippo." "Oh you mean Megami.Ummm her and Miroku aren't back there?" " Shippo you have three seconds to tell me where they went. Miroku could be in danger." Shippo sighs. " I doubt that but if you must know they are down by the lake. They've been there for a while." " Miroku!" Sango runs to the lake.
