::::::::::::::Chaos In the Feudal Era::::::::ch3:::::::::::::::

Sesshoumaru kissed Rin softly on the head and walked out of the borders of the Great Western Lands. By carrying only a small pouch of food with him, he could move quickly if he needed to. His light footsteps pressed the newly moistened blades of grass into the soft earth. A determined look was in his eyes; one that would frighten the faint of heart away from him with only a glance. His thin lips pressed tightly together to complete the face of the High Demon Lord. 'I will find whoever is responsible. And when I do; I will kill him."

::::::::::By the Well::::::::

Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama stood by the well and stared in awe at the untouched beauty of the land. Song birds flew swiftly in the blue sky above, while the green foliage rustled in the brisk zephyrs.

Suddenly Hiei stiffened, and with one swift movement had unsheathed his sword. Yusuke looked at him and prepared himself for whatever was drawing near. Kurama pulled a red rose from his hair, while Kuwabara readied his spirit energy.

A red and white blur tore across the green hill towards them. The Urameshi team stood in defense. The charging figure raised a humongous sword and picked up speed once more.

"Damn. What is that?" Yusuke blurted out quickly.

"Hn. It moves fast, but not fast enough. MOVE!" Hiei commanded and the group separated swiftly. The blur of red and white realized it had missed, rapidly turned on heel and prepared for the next attack. Kuwabara looked up and saw spectators on the nearby hill. 'Wonder why they're here...... probably waiting for us to kill this thing.'

Yusuke charged his spirit gun up and waited patiently for the next assault from the beast. He had not long to wait before the creature attacked again. This time, it abandoned the sword and used its claws.

"Iron Weaver Soul Stealer!!!"

The creature now aimed for Yusuke. His claws outstretched as he came in range for the attack.

A slim figure dressed in green and white ran across the field. "Inuyasha!?"

The 'Inuyasha' figure ignored and was about to swipe his claws at Yusuke's face when an all too familiar set of words pierced the air like an arrow.

"SIT BOY!!!"

*THUD* Inuyasha did a face plant into the earth, stopping inches from Yusuke's feet. The Urameshi team stared in wonder. The figure was that of a young girl, Yusuke's age, and rather pretty. She sported a short green school skirt and matching top. Her black mid length hair bounced with every step.

"What the hell did you do that for wench?!" The muffled voice of the white haired Inuyasha asked.

"You deserved it. Besides...... it's not like they were doing anything wrong," the girl replied in a bubbly fashion. She stifled a laugh at seeing Inuyasha with grass and dirt plastered on his face. Her attention now turned to the speechless figures that stood before her. "I'm really sorry about that, he doesn't really take to new comers."

Yusuke snapped first. "Yeah, I can tell. Oh um...... I'm Yusuke. And these guys are Kurama and Hiei. Oh, the red head back there is......"

"Pleased to make the acquaintance of such a beautiful woman. My name is Kuwabara."

"Pleased to meet you too. My name is Kagome," she motioned behind her, "And he's Inuyasha....... Don't mind him, he'll get over it soon." She thought for a while then added in a whisper, "It's a pride thing."

"Feh," Inuyasha stated quickly as he dusted himself off. He noticed the rest of the group walking down the hill and sighed.

A little blur of red ran between Inuyasha's legs, causing him to totter sideways, and leapt onto Kagome's shoulder. Kurama stared in wonder.

"Kagome! Who are they? And what are they doing here?" Shippo innocently pondered out loud; his bottom lip sticking out quite cutely as he thought.

"Oh, Shippo. This is Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei. And......." Kagome stopped, not knowing how to finish.

Kurama stepped forward. "We are here on a mission little one."

Hiei looked up briefly at his companion and rapidly turned away.

Shippo nodded in understanding, but looked again at the red headed stranger. He leapt off of Kagome's shoulder and walked around Kurama's legs.

"You're a fox youkai!"
