Hey! Kaida here, writing my very own Inu Yasha fanfic! Jumps up and down with joy Well, admittedly, Ka'asan helps some too, with ideas/dialogue and such... Anyways, I got this idea from a dream, and I hope ya like it! (Yes, it WAS a WICKED SWEET dream!)

It was a normal day; Inu Yasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and of course Kilala were traveling the countryside in search of jewel shards and Naraku. So far Kagome had sensed a shard somewhere over to the west, but they had no luck in finding it. Oh, they had found plenty of demons in that direction, but none of them possessed a shard. Unfortunately, Inu Yasha was already fighting the demons before Kagome could tell him that the shard wasn't there. Obviously, Inu Yasha wasn't in a particularly good mood.

"I thought you said you sensed a jewel shard!" Inu Yasha growled accusingly at Kagome.

"I did- I mean I do! It's not my fault that there are a bunch of demons between us and the jewel shard!" Kagome defended herself.

"Well you could have told me that the demons didn't have a jewel shard!!" Inu Yasha remained steadfast that it was Kagome's fault. To this Kagome yelled back,

"I DID TRY TO TELL YOU, YOU WERE TOO BUSY RUSHING OF TO FIGHT ALL THE DEMONS!!" Sango sighed and looked at Miroku as Kagome and Inu Yasha continued to fight. She rolled her eyes as she said,

"There at it again." Miroku shook his head and replied,

"When will Inu Yasha learn?" But before they could talk anymore, Kagome broke off her argument with Inu Yasha, and turned sharply to her right.

"A jewel shard, I'm sure of it. Its really close."

"C'mon!" Inu Yasha grabbed Kagome and threw her on his back as he raced off in the direction Kagome had pointed out. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo quickly followed after on Kilala.

Soon a huge ugly demon appeared before there eyes. It surely was a scorpion demon, for all its body was shaped that way, except for it's head. It had a long snaked neck, with a blunt flat head attached. It's eyes gleamed, ready for a kill, and it licked its lips in anticipation as its tail curled over its head, ready to sting. None of the 'gang' could see this though, as the demon was faced in the opposite direction, looking behind a rock.

Inu Yasha was about to run off, but actually remembering what Kagome said before, he stopped and faced her. "Is THIS the demon with a jewel shard?!?!"

"I think so," she stared hard at the scaled demon before her. "Yes! I can see it, over by its head!" Without any more conversation Inu Yasha ran over to the demon and yelled at it.

"HEY! Stop bothering with rocks, you should be worrying about ME!" Quick as a whip the demons head shot over, and it hissed at Inu Yasha while turning the rest of its body. With speed the demon drove Inu Yasha back, trying to take a bite out of him all the while. Mostly Inu Yasha dodged, but when he got the chance he charged in and swung the tetusaiga at the demon. Little damage was done to them both; each had only received a few scrapes.

Wind began to swirl around the tetusaiga as Inu Yasha powered up the Wind Scar, ready to end the fight. Yes, the fight was about to end, but not in the way Inu Yasha was expecting. Unbeknownst to him, the demon had curled its tail behind Inu Yasha, poising to strike...

"Hidaiko!" Sango screamed as she threw her boomerang straight for the demon's tail. With a sickening crunch the tail broke in two, and the demon roared in pain, staring at its tail with wide disbelieving eyes. This gave Inu Yasha enough time to attack. "WIND SCAR," he cried as the demon. In a blinding flash of light the demon split into millions of pieces, each chunk hitting the ground and then dissipating with a wisp of smoke.

"Heh, idiot demons, when will they learn?" Everyone else gets a sweat drop when Inu Yasha states this. He glares at them and yells, "What?!"

"If it hadn't been for Sango, you'd be dead right now!" Kagome said.

"I could have taken it myself! I knew it was about to sting me... I was gonna do something!"

"You liar! You can at least say 'thank you'!"

"Ah, Kagome, no really its ok..." Sango reassured Kagome, waving her hands in front of her.

"No its not-"Kagome started, but Miroku cut her off.

"Isn't the important thing the jewel shard, we still haven't gotten it yet..." He pointed out. The rest of them blinked as they remembered that is what they were after in the first place.

"The jewel shard," Inu Yasha exclaimed as he jumped around searching where the demon had been. "I don't see it! I thought you said this was the right demon Kagome!"

"I thought it was...but the jewel shard, I still sense it over by that ro-"She was cut off as a purple blur jumped out from behind the rock, tackling Inu Yasha, throwing him to the ground.

"What the?" Inu Yasha yelped as the rest of the group yelled out his name. They ran over to him, expecting another demon. They thought he was being attacked again. Well... they got one thing right, or half of one thing...
