8
Ashlyn looked over at Rin who looked perfectly content sleeping on the hard, cold ground. Sesshomaru and Jaken were also sleeping soundly. Ashlyn though, couldn't sleep. She wanted her bed, not a cold forest filled with demons.

'Speaking of demons,' Ashlyn thought, 'why am I not scared of those two. They are demons like all the others. They are even stronger than other demons, yet I'm not scared. Why? Sesshomaru could kill me on one swipe of his claws if he wanted to. But he doesn't want to, does he?'

Ashlyn was beginning to wonder if maybe she should have gone home, but before she could give it anymore thought, she had drifted off to sleep.

Back at Kaede's hut, no one dared fall asleep. Miroku and Kilala guarded the outside. Kilala and Shippo occasionally sniffed the air for the scent of Naraku. Their noses weren't as good as Inuyasha's would've been though.

Kagome mentioned several times that maybe Inuyasha should come back to her time till sunrise. He insisted on staying.

"No sign of any of them," Miroku said as he came inside for a quick break.

"Maybe she's not just like Inuyasha," Sango said.

"Maybe she is. Maybe she isn't," Miroku said. "We still have to be careful. Naraku might be trying to lure us into a false sense of security."

The girls nodded in agreement. Shippo's nose twitched. Kilala's did the same. Everyone looked at them.

"Is it Naraku?" Inuyasha asked. Shippo and Kilala nodded.

"It's still a couple more hours till the sun rises," Kagome said. "I really think you should come back to my time. Naraku can't go through the well."

"Alright!" Inuyasha almost shouted. "Just stop bugging me!"

Kagome and Inuyasha jumped on Kilala's back. She quickly ran them over to the well, then turned to go back to Kaede's hut.

Kagura and Suya watched quietly from the nearby forest. Naraku walked up behind them.

"Follow them," he said to Suya, "and kill Inuyasha."

"Yes, Master Naraku," she said. She ran and jumped into the well as easily as Inuyasha, and was taken into the blue abyss. (A/N: I had originally planned to end the chapter here, but that would be way too short so on with the story.)

The blue abyss disappeared and Suya landed gently on the bottom of the well. She looked up. There were no stars or trees, but a roof. She quickly climbed out of the well and looked around the small building curiously. Suddenly, she remembered what she was here for and ran out into the yard.

She looked around as her mind wandered away from the task at hand. She forgot about Naraku's orders and started exploring. She wished she hadn't transformed like she did. She couldn't explore up high now.

She saw a light come on in a window. She hadn't really noticed the house until now. She tiptoed up to the window and peeked inside. She saw Inuyasha, the girl she had seen with him earlier (she didn't know her name yet), an old man, and a women sitting around a table talking. She couldn't hear them well with her human ears.

She looked at Inuyasha. He had black hair too. His claws and fangs were gone like hers too. He also had human ears instead of dog ears. He looked worried about something.

No one noticed the little girl at the window. They had more important things to worry about.

"What do you mean Ashlyn never came back?" Kagome asked.

"You said you sent her back, but I haven't seen her, and she never made it home," Mrs. Higurashi said. "Her parents are very worried about her."

"Where do you think she went?" Inuyasha asked.

"What if she's still in the Feudal Era?" Kagome asked. No one answered.

Suddenly, they heard hissing outside. They ran outside. A little, black-haired girl was trying to hold off Buyo before he could claw her eyes out. At first, they didn't recognize her.

"Suya," Inuyasha said as Mrs. Higurashi was dragging the cat away.

"What?" Kagome asked looking at the terrified little girl. "Are you sure?"

"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked Suya, ignoring Kagome's question.

"N-Naraku told me to follow you," Suya said shivering slightly from fear. Inuyasha put his hand on his sword ready to strike Suya if needed.

"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered. "She's just a little girl. Don't hurt her."

"She's still one of Naraku's incarnations."

"Yeah, but..."

"But what? Kanna's young too but you never had any problem with hurting her."

"But Kanna is a demon."

"So is Suya."

"Not right now."

"She will be when the sun rises. We have to kill her now. Who knows what she'll do later."

He turned to Suya. She had not moved a muscle. She didn't even look scared.

"If your going to kill me, hurry up and do it," Suya said.

"Huh?" Inuyasha asked in surprise.

"I would rather die than continue working for Naraku. Kagura and Kanna I'm okay with, but I do not want to be under Naraku's control."

"Do you think she's telling the truth?" Kagome whispered to Inuyasha.

"Not sure," Inuyasha said but still lowered his sword.

The sun was beginning to rise. The light of the morning sun shone brighter and brighter over the tips of the trees. Inuyasha and Suya's hair turned from black to silver. The ears disappeared from the sides of their heads and reappeared as dog ears on top of their heads. Their fangs and claws came back and their eyes changed color.

'I can't go back to Naraku now,' Suya thought. 'I've disobeyed him. Maybe I could stay here. No, I have to follow Naraku's orders. Even if I don't want to. I will not die at the hand of Naraku. (A/N: Talks pretty well for a 5-year-old, don't you think?) First, I will kill Inuyasha. Then, I will find a way to kill Naraku.'

Suya unsheathed the sword Kagura had had forged for her as Kagome and Inuyasha turned to walk away. She threw all her strength into one swift swing and slashed right into the middle of his back. He never even knew what happened.
