I Own: Any character that I make up and the plot

Intro: Everyone this is an Alternate Universe fic. Basically Naraku went back in time and saved Kikyo's life after she pinned Inuyasha to the tree with her arrow. He tricked her into believing that he truly loved her and he came back from the future to save her from Inuyasha. Deceived she falls for Onigumo (after this Naraku went back to his time) and fourteen years before Inuyasha is released by Kagome, has a child with him after being married to him for five years. But Naraku's evil natured finally came to light in Onigumo (four years later) and Kikyo was able to banish him to another world, but not before he injured her almost to the point of death and he also dragged their daughter along with him. Distraught and nearing death, Kikyo requested of course to be burnt along with the shikon jewel upon her death.

Please note that's Kagome entry into the series and her meeting of Inuyasha doesn't change. He finds out about Naraku's two year long escape from the world that Kikyo sent him to and that Kikyo and Naraku had a female child. After the whole gang's formed, they soon after meet the daughter who at first attacked them with wanton vengeance. But after finding out the truth about her mother and father decides to help them defeat her father and now travels with them. But this girl seems to have caught not only Inuyasha's heart and interest, but also a certain wolf demon's as well.

Chapter 1

[Kagome's POV]

Inuyasha was so in love with Kikyo.

I hated him for it but I'm so in love with him.

Sometimes I dreamed about him.

Why can't he like me?

When I am away from him I just can't stop thinking about him.

Just when I thought he was over Kikyo (he was rather solemn for a while after finding out about her death and marriage to Naraku), another thing happens.

She had a daughter and now she is traveling with us after we befriended her.

I knew Inuyasha liked her a little after he started to get to know her.

Worse yet, when Kouga was here and she was telling him about the jewel shards and also about her abilities, he grabbed her and suddenly ran off with her. Inuyasha was the first person to start running after him but Kouga was too fast for him and got away.

Shippo who had snuck unto her shoulder as Kouga took her away later told us that Kouga threatened to kill any member of his clan who touched her. But when he found Shippo, Shippo had to run because Kouga set his wolves on him (Shippo). Sakura couldn't help Shippo because she was injured from a recent fight with a crazed demon that had a jewel shard in its possession. We all assumed that Kouga wanted her for a mate, finding her ability to see jewel shards as well as being half demon as a plus compared to my human self.

We all agreed to go after her in the morning, despite Inuyasha's anxiety to go after them now. We were all tired and besides, the rest of the gang and I knew that Kouga wouldn't harm her. Also we were DOG tired!

[Normal POV]

The next day they went to Kouga's territory and saw him carrying Kikyo's daughter on his back. When he saw Inuyasha and the others he started to run.

Inuyasha shouted melodramatically, "Sakura, I'll save you from that worthless wolf demon!"

But Inuyasha caught up to Kouga and they were going to fight then suddenly Sakura jumped down from Kouga's back and stood shakily between them.

Sakura shouted firmly, "Stop fighting!"

Inuyasha knew he had to stop because of his feelings for her and Kouga didn't make any move to disobey Sakura's order even though he still snarled at Inuyasha threateningly.

Inuyasha shouted, "You can't be standing!" "What about your leg!"

She suddenly started to fall but Inuyasha caught her in his arms before she hit the floor.

Sakura had flowing ebony hair that she kept in long plaits that reached just above her ankles and were tied back by a dark blue ribbon, white and blue kimono (looks just like Kikyo's except the blue pants part has designs of black interloping vines on it), oval face, blue eyes and red shoes on her small delicate feet.

Sakura looked up at Inuyasha in surprise, then she suddenly smiled and chuckled.

Sakura asked between chuckles that now became loud laughs, "You didn't think that Kouga wanted me for a mate did you?"

Inuyasha's face went red and he cried incredulously, "What was I supposed to think!"

Kouga started to laugh and gave Inuyasha a 'you must be nuts' look as he said, "Sorry, but my one and only mate is still Kagome."

Kagome's face became beet red with embarrassment. She had really thought that Kouga was interested in Sakura. In fact, she had hoped that he would have fallen for her and she'd finally have Inuyasha to herself. She didn't want Sakura to be held against her will, but she truly wished for the half- demon teenager to go away and that Inuyasha would just forget about her.

Sakura looked at Kagome suspiciously and asked slyly, "You're not disappointed, are you Kagome?"

Sango saw the look of panic on Kagome's face and angrily interjected, "Leave Kagome alone you filthy conniving half demon!"

Sakura's jaw became stiff and she looked at Sango icily, then asked in mock curiousity, "Do you think that all half-demons are filthy?"

Inuyasha's eyes suddenly flared with indignation and Shippo hid behind Kagome's leg while Miroku held Sango against him as if he needed to protect her.

Inuyasha glared at Sango for a moment. Then he closed his eyes and shook his head as he said softly and almost emotionlessly, "Feh." "Let's go Sakura."

Inuyasha proceeded to go downhill without the others after he positioned Sakura comfortably in his arms.

Everyone who was left behind turned to stare at Sango, even Kouga. Sango's eyes were on the rocky ground as tears started to slowly flow from them.

Kagome walked slowly towards her and said comfortingly, "Don't cry Sango." "I'm sure that Inuyasha knows that you didn't mean to degrade all half demons."

Sango sniffled but she was obviously unconvinced when she said, "He'll still be mad at me anyway." "That girl's totally got him in her clutches."

Kouga snarled softly and everyone turned to him as he said icily, "That girl's got her own little conniving ways, I can tell you that much." "No one has been able to divide my pack into quarrelsome idiots like she has." "It will be days before I can convince them what she said either was a misconception or totally untrue."

Miroku asked unsurprisingly, "So she has your pack divided against each other." "Very likely she found out what some of your members said about others and slightly changed the facts for her own trickery."

Kouga looked at him suspiciously and asked, "How did you know?"

Shippo responds quickly, "She said one of her best and favourite abilities is verbal manipulation and trickery." "No magic or demons that can be detected and it's not necessarily based on something murderous and horrible or a total lie."

Kagome said firmly, "A lie's a lie Shippo." "Sugar coating or darkening the truth doesn't make it any more or less of a lie; I can honestly tell you that."

Kouga said softly and thoughtfully, "Isn't that the truth." "Anyway, I wish you a safe journey back." "I'd come but I have to go back to try and reorganize my crazed divided pack."

The rest nodded in agreement and Kouga left as he waves his hand once for a signal of goodbye and the others said bye softly.

As they make the journey downwards Sango asked honestly, "What are we going to do about her?" "She practically has Inuyasha under her full control." "Worse yet she's half demon giving them a bond that none of us have with Inuyasha."

Miroku responds in agreement, "Yes she and Inuyasha both being half demons puts us at a disadvantage." "Also we don't know about most of her abilities and she did say that she didn't use her most powerful ability when she fought us, nor when she fought any time we were around." "We still don't know how she defeated all those demons on the full moon after everyone else but her was knocked unconscious."

Shippo looked down and squeaked fearfully, "I do."

Everyone stopped and looked down at Shippo who had been unusually quiet as they headed back to where they had been camping for the past two nights.

Sango suddenly grabbed by the collar and snapped at him, "What is it?"

Shippo's eyes bulged and in absolute fear and terror blurted out everything, "She has the ability like Naraku to create other demons!" "But she can do it a whole lot faster and they can appear in dozens with different looks, abilities and everything!" "It's like seeing someone suddenly split into two person's but they are not identical!" "She swore me to secrecy!" "Please don't tell!" "She even told me privately that she had the limited ability to read minds."

Everyone stared at Shippo horrified. Ability to create more demons in seconds without much thought or preparation? Telepathy? How were they supposed to deal with someone with such abilities? Worse yet, what if these abilities like the others she had shown them were just the tip of the iceberg. She was also part miko after all.
