I don't own Inu Yasha.

San

Omodasu looked around in awe. This place was beautiful and the air was so clean. Inu Yasha walked beside her and she couldn't imagine that demons were here. She looked up at the tall man beside her. Could he really be a demon?

"Is that Inu Yasha and Kagome?" Sango and Miroku waved to the two approaching figures. Inu Yasha noticed that Sango was getting even bigger since the last time he saw her. She was getting ready to go into labor, and Miroku stood proudly beside her.

Sango ran up to the woman and touched her soft cheek. Tears filled her eyes and she slightly trembled.

"Ka- Kagome?"

"No. This is her reincarnation, Omodasu. She came to see what it was like here."

Miroku stared at Inu Yasha with a worried look on his face. He knew that it had to be hard on him not having Kagome, and he worried that he would fall in love with this girl as well. Inu Yasha stared at the confused girl. She didn't know what to think of all these people. She didn't know them, so why were they treating her like she was their best friend?

"Uh... who are they?" She nudged Inu Yasha and he smiled to see her so comfortable around him.

"This is Sango, and this is Miroku. Kagome and we used to battle together. But since then, these two fell in love and the rest is history. Sango is a demon exterminator. She'll probably show you her weapon later. And Miroku is a monk. He has a void in his hand. He'll probably show you what it does, too."

"Well it's very nice to meet the both of you. Inu Yasha, can you show me around?"

He was surprised to see her so curious about everything. She began to walk towards the god tree and Inu Yasha walked after her quickly.

"How curious that she came back so fast. And she already feels comfortable with Inu Yasha."

"Kagome loved him so much. She probably just wants to make him happy and I know that she and Kikyo wanted to be with Inu Yasha forever. But they both failed. I worry about him."

Sango wrapped her arm around her husband's waist. As they walked inside they could hear the couple laughing at something. They smiled at each other and Miroku kissed Sango lightly on her forehead.

Omodasu looked up at the giant tree. Inu Yasha watched her. She was definitely older and he didn't care for her short hair. She didn't wear a skirt, and he could tell that she wasn't as innocent as Kagome. She was a little like Kikyo. But not the Kikyo that was alive, only the Kikyo that was dead.

"Wow! I had no idea that this tree was so old. Hey! What's wrong with you?" Inu Yasha was staring at her blankly and she blushed a deep red. Inu Yasha noticed her discomfort and he turned away self-consciously.

"I'm sorry. You just made me think of Kagome. You're a lot like her, but sometimes you aren't. I'm sorry."

"You and Kagome weren't just friends, were you?"

"Well I don't know. I never told her how I felt about her. And it was only once she... well never mind."

"How did she die? Everyone seems to be really upset over it, but I don't see the big deal."

Inu Yasha turned away from her. He got up and walked away silently. Why was he telling his feelings to this girl? She wasn't like Kagome. He couldn't trust her.

' She's so vain. Kagome, how could you return like this?'

Omodasu skipped behind him. She really liked Inu Yasha. He was quite handsome, and she knew that he was nice, even if he was a demon.

' What are you saying? You have a boyfriend! Don't lose it this easy, Omodasu.'

When they returned to the hut, they found Miroku and Sango in an argument. Omodasu was surprised to see a giant boomerang held ominously by the pregnant woman. Miroku was pleading with her to put the weapon down, but Sango didn't listen.

" Honey, you know me! My hand is possessed! Just don't hurt me. I love you."

"Miroku, I explained to you that you have to stop groping me when I'm pregnant. I'm so sick of you, you pervert. Just get out or I'll pretend you're a demon!!!"

Inu Yasha walked casually up to Sango. He lowered her weapon and she looked up at him in surprise.

"Oh, sorry about that. I didn't think you two would be back so fast."

Omodasu looked at the woman in awe. She wondered what she looked like without the extra baggage. She could tell that she was strong, despite her tiny frame, and she was proud of what she was. Then she looked at Miroku. His eyes were filled with love and he looked wise beyond his years.

"Do you want to see what we can do? And don't worry I can still fight." Sango led the girl outside and faced a small cluster of trees. The boomerang was thrown hard and all the trees crashed down. Omodasu clung to Inu Yasha in fear as the boomerang sped towards the group. But Sango reached up and caught it without even stressing her arm. She swung it onto her back and smiled at the newcomer warmly.

Inu Yasha looked down at the girl in surprise. She had her arms wrapped around her really tight. He grabbed her arm and she looked up in surprise.

' Look at his nails. They're so sharp. It's like they're claws.'

"Are you done showing off? You're gonna destroy the whole damn village!"

"What can you do, Inu Yasha? I want to see."

"Well maybe I'll show you if we run into a demon." He unsheathed the ancient sword, Tetsusaiga, and she looked at it in surprise.

"That's it? That's all you have?" As soon as she blurted out her rude comment the Tetsusaiga transformed into a giant blade. She looked at her reflection in it and her eyes widened.

' Is this for real? Am I dreaming? How do these people have all these powers?'

Omodasu looked into Inu Yasha's golden orbs. Her own eyes began to quiver and he looked at her with so much love. He spoke to her in such a gentle tone and she was surprised that it came from his usually harsh voice.

"You still have to meet Kaede. She's the main priestess. And she'll have some food for us. I'm sure that you're hungry."

The giant blade fell into his sheath easily and he began to walk towards the village. He looked back at her briefly. She stood the same way as Kagome did; with her knees together and her hand up to her open mouth. The look in her eyes was one of remembrance. He came back to her and asked her to hop on his back. She laughed when she felt the wind sweep through her black hair. Even the roller coasters that she had been on weren't this fun. She held on even tighter when he leapt into the air. He smiled when he heard her shrieks of joy.

' This is you, Kagome. I know now that it is.'
