Chapter 13:

Everyone was asleep in unfitful dreams of villagers pleading for their lives to a strange woman who's face was hidden by shadows. Inu Yasha and Linde were the only two up. Inu Yasha walked outside to the old Go-Shinboku- God-Tree. Linde sensing him walked outside.

"Inu Yasha what's wrong?" Linde asked walking up to him.

"Nothing." Inu Yasha lied.

"You're lieing, tell me." Linde insisted.

"How'd you know?" Inu Yasha asked.

"Secret," Linde replied with a smile. "Is it about the Shikon Jewel, and what you're going to do with it after it's complete and become full demon?"

"How'd you know?" Inu Yasha asked again.

"It's a secret," Linde replied (*cough* mind-reading *cough*). "Now tell me."

"Okay," Inu Yasha grunted relenting. "I don't know what to do. I love Kagome , but I don't want to be half-demon anymore. Have you ever wanted the Jewel, Linde?"

"No," Linde answered surprising him. "I've never wanted to be full demon."

"Why?" Inu Yasha asked.

"Interesting that you should ask," Linde replied. "I'm a certain type of half-demon. My people, were elves yes but we were different. We had demon blood. Most of my people had a quater of demon blood but once in awhile a half demon would be born in a family. We were never shunned or thought to be a disgrace. When I was born my people were declining rapidly due to hunting."

"Why?" Inu Yasha asked compelled by Linde's story.

"I never learned why," Linde answered sadly. "Like you, I lost my parents at a very young age. They were both killed by hunters."

"These hunters," Inu Yasha wondered outloud, "why were they hunting your people?"

Inu Yasha was completely compelled by Linde's story but something was triggering a memory.

"The hunters were assanating my people because they believed we were a danger," Linde lied (this sentence is just a lie to sway Inu Yasha from the horrible truth). "I didn't live on my own....I was sent to live with a high priestess. She too was half demon, half elf. She taught me very important things. Like my parents the priestess was eventually assinated. Later on in my life I learned of the Shikon Jewel. I never wanted it. But some part of me did. I believe I wanted to see my parents alive again. Then again I realized that nothing would come of using the jewel. So I never went after it. Even though I lost the ones I loved the most....I wanted them to be happy where they were. Inu Yasha, if you use the jewel you will lose Kagome. I guarantee it. She really loves you. Inu Yasha don't make the same mistake I did. Don't let her leave you, don't you let her die inside. Kagome will if you go full demon. I can feel it."

Linde walked back into Kagome's house and went to sleep. She had far different dreams than the others. Inu Yasha stayed outside a little longer thinking of what Linde had said. Then he remembered something. When he had used the Wind Scar against Sesshomaru (the Toto-sai episode if you know what I mean) there was a unfamiliar scent in the air that he hadn't noticed before. That scent was exactly like Linde's. Sweet, unfamiliar, dangerous, vengeful, and mysterious. Inu Yasha wandered back into the house mulling over this thought.
