Disclaimer: Hey peoples I do NOT own Inuyasha, but I own two plushies, about 7 books, and hopefully soon a shirt... but that's all!

A/N: Thank you Ash-san! You were the ONLY one to review, but yea. Thanks a lot! In answer:

Ash-san: Hai, I guess I DO need to stop using –sama... but it's so fun!! Teehee. But yea, I'm going to update soon. Hopefully a lot cause now school has started!! And yes, it was a fine review. Unless we're doing some thing where we review others reviews...? But I don't think so! Of course I'll do a 2nd chapter!

Okie... on with it!! Now, where did I leave off?

Chapter two: Stormy

"My name is Tsuberu. "The shadow demon glared at Inuyasha, Sango, and Kagome.

Inuyasha and Sango glared right back. Kagome just stood there, staring at Tsuberu.

"Tsuberu... you have two jewel shards, don't you?" Kagome asked cautiously.

Tsuberu snorted and said, "Yea right. Me?"

This turn, it was Kagome's turn to snort. "Yea, you. I see them right there where your arms are!!" She pointed.

"My... wench, how did you know?!" Tsuberu grimaced and shot towards her when a menacing voice stopped him and said:

"Stop, Tsuberu. On my commands."

Tsuberu stopped and turned. "Master... gomen nasai. I was playing with them."

"It's okay, Tsuberu. Do not go against my wishes again." He looked at the other three who were dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry. I must have forgotten you." He indicated that he was talking to the other three. "I, too, am a shadow demon. My name is Kurai. (A/N: His name means dark. Interesting... OO;;) I am Tsuberu's trainer. He... likes to play with people. As I do." His friendly grin changed—no, mutated—into a malicious one.

"You two," He pointed towards Sango and Kagome, who had just been staring at the demon. Their eyes became blank and cold as they went over to his side.

Inuyasha growled. "What did you do to them?!"

"Nothing at all that concerns you. They are under a trance that is all. Now, leave." His finger moved towards the mouth of the cave and Inuyasha felt a sensation of something pushing him out. He flew out of the cave and was hurled into a forest that was miles away.

Miroku saw all this and jumped out of the rock that he was hiding behind. Kagome and Sango turned their heads slightly and Sango's eyes cleared for a brief moment, but then they fogged up again.

"S-Sango? K-Kagome? What?" He knew that they were being hypnotized, but what was that flicker he saw? Did she ACTUALLY want to be controlled? Had darkness taken over? Or had she given up?

And Kagome! There had been NO flicker! None at all! What was with that?

"You! Shadow demon! I shall exorcize you! Ofuda! Shakujou!" He shouted as he threw the small slip of paper at the demon's head and threw his staff to where it would split his head open. (A/N: Sorry just read Volume 17 of the Manga...!)

Tsuberu just melted into shadow as did Kurai.

"You have met your match, monk!" Kurai stated as he and Tsuberu got in their fighting stances.

A/N: You like? I hope you did! I'll update soon—hopefully... it will just depend on how many reviews I get, ne?

Til next time, Ja!

!!Sango!!
