Chapter One: A Trip in to Inuyasha's Forest











The human wolf, know as Raven Skies, ran silently with her brother Midnight. They, as usual, were up to no good. Their new game this week, was to chase off every potential mate for her brother, he did not want one as of yet and Raven Skies saw no reason he should be forced into it. So she agreed to help her brother wolf, and scare off every one. But that is not what they were doing right this moment, no, they had just gotten a kill each and are now exercising off that meal.

She ran with the wind rushing threw her hair and playing with it, like Yuka, her adoptive mother, would do. It made her feel calm, and somewhat sleepy. ~Are you tired sister?~ Midnight asked, in what to the human ears would sound like a series of growls. Raven Skies though, has lived with this pack her whole life and this was the only language she knew how to speak.

She nodded a little. ~Somewhat brother wolf, but I want to run a little while longer~ Raven Skies stopped a moment to itch where the rough bear skins touch her own delicate human skin. She remembered how she had come by this dress. She did not have fur like the other wolves and would died of cold during the winter, the wolf back did not want that to happen. They, as a whole pack, hunted down a bear and explained to her how to skin it like their old youkai-wolf leaders had done once. At first she refused to dress like them, saying she did not want to remind them of their enemies. They quickly explained that she would not, and if she did not wear the skin she would die, so she had agreed.

~If that is your wish sister~ Midnight replied, and then gave a wolfish grin. ~Try and catch me if you can wolf sister~ He taunted as he took off a near full speed. The wolf knew that his human sister wouldn't be able to catch up with him if he ran as fast as he could go, so he only ran fast enough to were she could not catch them.

Both wolf and human wolf stopped in mid stride as a howl broke through the silence of the forest. It was faint so she could not catch all of it, as if knowing this Midnight relayed the message to her. ~It is from Gray Wind, wolf sister.~ He told her. ~He says that humans walked the forest near here, mother and father wish us to return home~ Raven Skies nodded, and bounded after her brother wolf as he too made his way home.

Inuyasha walked at the head of the ground, sullenly. The hanyou could think about nothing except for the fact that he had been tricked into showing these weak human's around what was suppose to be his forest. Damn that monk and old hag! He is only here because of those two! He shook his head in annoyance. They didn't know about his past, but they knew what the life of a hanyou was like, so they knew they were his only friends, and they used it to their advantage! He still doesn't know why he just doesn't leave these weak fools to wander and then get eaten in his forest. It would serve them right for the ways they have treated him his whole life. Inuyasha shook his head, he could do that though now could he? Nope, and why not, because Miroku had insisted to go.

Miroku was his only friend, and even though he would never admit to it, he cared for lecherous monk. He was always good for a laugh, and he never once seemed disgusted by the mere presence of him. He sighed again out of annoyance.

"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Asked none other then the monk. Who else in this group would care to ask? "You've been sighing heavily and mumbling under your breath…" he trailed off under the glare he received.

"You have the nerve to ask me what wrong monk!" He growled. "If you and that old hag hadn't have conned me into showing these pathetic excuses for humans around my forest, then I could be sitting in my favorite tree!" He complained.

"Inuyasha, I think the real reason you wish to stay home is because of a certain old hags granddaughter." The monk teased.

Inuyasha paled, is he insane? He questioned, as he looked the monk over. "That girl gives me the creeps." He shivered visibly. "Whenever I am around she strokes her bow and sends me evil glares, and she never shows any emotion at all unless it is malice." He hated being around her, and the monk knew this. Her smell made him sick, always so full of hatred.

Miroku shared his friend's sentiments; even he refused to ask her to bare his children. "Can't you just at lest enjoy this walk, I mean all you ever do is laze about in that tree of yours." The monk inquired trying to steer the subject away from Kikyou. Keade always said she didn't use to be like that, but no one knows what happened to her to make her change.

"Easy for you to say, you want to be here, you weren't trick!" Inuyasha grumped as he picked up his pace a bit, ignoring the protests from the other humans in the party.

"Yes, that may be so, but you may change your mind when you find out what they are searching for." Miroku studied his friend's features trying to see if he caught the attention of his ill-tempered hanyou friend.

Inuyasha just crossed his arm over his chest. "Feh, why should I care what weak humans do?" He questioned. All right, he was curious, but he wouldn't tell that to Miroku, he would think that he had won.

"Well Inuyasha, they happened to be looking for something called the Shikon Jewel, and all because Kikyou said she could sense it out here." Miroku informed his friend. He knew that Inuyasha wanted to know why he was out here showing the villagers around his forest.

"If she wants this stupid jewel then why doesn't she get it herself?" He grumbled, picking up his pace even more then before, but the stupid monk didn't get the hint. Either that, or he chose not to pay attention.

"Because, she is a priestess of the highest form, she doesn't have to do anything if she doesn't want to." Miroku explained, and then cast a glance to the group lagging behind him. As they noticed they, every one shot him pleading stairs. Miroku nodded, while he was use to Inuyasha none stop energy they were not. "Maybe we should stop for the night, I mean it is nearly midnight and aren't there more youkai out at night then in the day time?" He question.

Inuyasha knew what that lecherous monk was doing, but right know he didn't feel like arguing. "Feh, whatever." He shrugged and then turned and jumped into his choice tree. It allowed him to watch over the whole camp, as well as allowed him to hear all around him. Inuyasha stared up at the moon that hung low in the sky, and then sighed dejectedly. Of course he was conned when he would be turning all-human in a couple of days, that just goes to show you how rotten a hanyou's luck is.

Raven Skies slowed when the cave came into sight, as did Midnight. They were greeted with two worried wolves at the mouth of the cave; Raven Skies recognized them as her adoptive parents. The looks they gave her with their eyes, worried her, and deep inside a voice told her something has changed. Weather it was good or bad, she couldn't tell, she would just have to wait and see.

It wasn't long before Midnight and Raven Skies stood before the wolf pack leaders, they stood there in silence for a long while. The tension grew and grew until Yuka broke with. ~Raven Skies, you are human and not a wolf.~ Raven Skies looked at her adoptive mother sadly, does she wish her to leave now? She wondered sadly. ~You need to be with your own kind, and if after a while of living in the human world you decided to come back to us, we will welcome you with warm muzzles.~ The only mother she has ever known, said sadly.

~Why is it that you wish me to leave now?~ The human wolf asked curiously, watching her parents closely, she did not want to miss anything.

Night-Shadows shook his big wolf head from side to side. ~We do not want you to leave, not really, but it is not right keeping you here.~ He began. ~There are humans in the forest, if you approach them they will take you in, but you must decide now if you will go to them.~ He explained. ~As we can not take you into the village, where humans live, as they will kill us first and then ask questions latter. Do you understand?~ Night-Shadows asked with questioning eyes.

Raven Skies nodded sadly. ~I will do it~ She announced, Midnight whimpered next to her because she had made her decision so quickly, she shot her brother wolf and apologetic glance. ~But, first I want to observe these humans, and then if I deiced they are trust worthy I will go with them~ Her gaze then found Midnight. ~I want, you brother to come with me and help me make my decision~

~I would be honored sister~ The wolf replied excitedly.

~Raven Skies, I will also have Gray Wind and Tracker watching when you and Midnight decide to rest or hunt, I will not have you going with these humans should they appear at all hostile.~ Her adoptive father told her. Raven Skies smiled, she would miss her family. They were always so protective of her… She would miss this terribly.

Midnight and Raven Skies ran with all their might toward the smells if humans, though she could not smell it as well as her true blooded wolf brother, she could still catch the faint scent on the wind. It wasn't long before they reached the edges of the camp, they both his in the shadows behind some bushes. Both she and Midnight were masters at hiding.

Raven Skies let her eyes travel over the human camp, it was huge and there was so much stuff that she couldn't put names too. There were large wood looking things with large circles on either side, and it seemed some of the humans slept in it. Her eyes then traveled to a few humans sleeping in strange furs like what she wore, only wrapped around their whole bodies in the center around a fire. There were a myriad of other strange objects around the camp, but she couldn't even begin to identify them.

Midnight then chose that moment to nuzzle her arm, the coolness of his nose causing her to jump a little. ~Sorry sister, but there is a youkai traveling with them and if we linger this close for too long he will catch on to our scents.~ Her brother explained. Raven Skies nodded and left to a safer distance from the camp.

She watched from her perch all night long, refusing the sleep that wanted to claim her body. She couldn't see the camp clearly, but she could hear all the noises the humans made her their sleeps. ~Midnight am I that noisy when I sleep as well.~ She turned to her brother curiously.

Midnight gave off a wolf like chuckle. ~Sister, you are a quite sleeper unless you have gotten sick, but even then you are quieter then this.~ His eyes then settled on the camp, a hint of worry entering his voice. ~If they sleep this loud all of the time the youkai that live in this forest will surely kill them.~

Raven Skies placed her eyes back to the camp. ~Won't the youkai that is with them protect them?~ She asked.

Midnight shook his head. ~I am not one to judge, but they say hanyou's help none but themselves unless there is something in it for themselves. They must have offered this hanyou something so that he would take them through the forest, if something did attack I doubt he would save them.~ Her brother paused a moment. ~But then I can be wrong.~ It was said that humans are back stabbers and lie through their teeth, that they hold no honor… but his sister is human and she is nothing like that, so them maybe this hanyou is different two. His sister's voice brought him from his thoughts.

~Midnight, do you want to hunt a while I'm starving.~ She complained, he nodded and they ran off together to stalk there prey.







~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~







Inuyasha sat up suddenly as he smelt wolves close by, they were outside of the campsite. He waited a long while, not making his presence known. He did not care what happened to the stupid weak humans, but he also knew that he did not want their deaths on his conscience. So while they where in his forest he would protect them. He eased up a bit when he sensed the wolves back further away from the camp, maybe they were just curious and not hungry. Inuyasha sighed, he did want to take any chances so it looked like he wouldn't be get any sleep either. Just great, another reason why he should seek revenge on the hag and perverted monk; he was loosing sleep because of this! Not that he need much sleep anyway, but it was the principle of the matter. Inuyasha held his breath when he heard the wolf howls.

~Sister, we will take over for you get some rest.~

~Thank you.~ Was the reply. Just what were these wolves up two, he wondered curiously.

It wasn't long before the sun rose. Inuyasha wasn't a bit tired. He jumped from his tree when he noticed everyone was backed up and ready to move on. Miroku of course ran up to the head of the group to catch up with him. "Inuyasha did you hear the howls last night?" Miroku questioned, and Inuyasha nodded. "Some of the villagers think they're after our blood, but what do you think?"

Inuyasha paused in his step a moment before picking it back up. "They're just watching us, I think they're curious nothing more." He explained.

Miroku nodded. "I thought so too, maybe it had something to do with that beautiful girl I saw in the bushes… she was with a wolf." He explained his expression all dreamy like. "She wore nothing but a bear skin that only cover her front and back and left her sides exposed." He then got a far away look on his face as he thought about her more.

Inuyasha chuckled a bit. "Nice dream there, hentai." He shook his head slightly. "If there were another human around here I would have picked up their scent." He explained to his monk companion.

Miroku shook his head furiously. "I know what I saw Inuyasha, and I will prove it to you the next time we stop okay."

"Feh, whatever Miroku." He replied picking up his speed a little.

~Kikyou awaken~

Kikyou shot up from her futon, her eyes staring out the window unseeing. She just sat there like that, while she nodded to the voice in side her head. It wasn't long before a sadistic smile played across her features. Her voice spoke out to no one in the room with her, but more along the lines of someone miles and miles away.

"Your wish is my command master Naraku." The girl said, her voice bone-chilling cold. It wasn't always that way, no, it became like that after the man in baboon suit caught up with her. She had managed to block the memories of her sister's location from him, even under the type of control she was in, but that did not keep him from using her to help find the child.
