The Leader sighed. He didn't want to tell his clan what was happening, but he had to. It was part of being Leader. He readied himself, and spoke. "As much as I regret saying this, we're being moved again. I don't know why, but Naraku wants us to be in a smaller forest east of here."
The rest of the clan started talking amongst one another. The relocation would mean that some of the clan would have to be killed off. "How long do we have to move?" one of the tigers asked.
"Two years." the Leader replied solemnly.
Sakura was furious! She had lived in Tora Forest her entire life, and wasn't about to leave. She got up and ran over to where her dad was. "Naraku can't do this to us! Why are we letting him do this?"
"Because we have no choice, Sakura."
"Yeah we do! We're an entire race against one demon. We can take him out easily!" Sakura said desperately.
"Don't you think we've already tried that? He's unstoppable."
Sakura looked away from her father. She thought desperately of something she could do to help. She was the princess, so she had to protect them. Then it hit her. She could travel with InuYasha. He had already offered her the chance to go with him, and she was sure he would protect her. And if InuYasha really hated Naraku, then he shouldn't mind having someone help him take Naraku down. Sakura walked over to Kirara, and they talked in cat language for a few seconds. Then Sakura smiled. "Hey, InuYasha, I think I'm gonna take you up on that offer." InuYasha and her father were both confused. Sakura strode back over to her father. "I have a way to stop Naraku." Sakura said proudly.
"How could you possibly stop him? You can't even leave the forest!" her father replied. He was looking at her like she was insane.
"I'm not going alone, Dad. I'm going to go with InuYasha. He has a group that travels with him, and almost everyone in his group has sworn that they will kill Naraku, all for their own reasons." she replied happily. She turned to InuYasha. "That is, if it's still okay with you."
InuYasha thought it over for a second. She would be a valuable addition to the group, and she could help hunt. "Of course it is." he said with a smile.
"Is it okay with you, Dad?"
"I don't know..." he said quietly. He didn't want to lose his only daughter. Especially to Naraku. But he knew that this meant the world to her. It was her chance to prove to the clan that she wasn't just the Leader's daughter, but more. He sighed, then smiled at his daughter. He transformed into his man form, and Sakura followed his example. He set his hands on her shoulders. "If you really want to do this, then go ahead." he said to her.
She smiled excitedly, and hugged him tight. "Thank you so much." she whispered in his ear. She let go of him, and turned to the rest of the clan. "Well, I guess this means goodbye for a while, and since we're all in here already, I guess this would be the best time to say it. So goodbye everyone! See you all when I return!" Sakura said happily and waved. She turned to InuYasha and Kirara, and motioned for them to come to her. Kirara jumped up into her arms. "Oh and say goodbye to Kirara too." she said. Everyone transformed into their humanlike forms and started waving back to her. Sakura then left the room with Kirara in her arms and InuYasha following.

I'm making a fanfiction with Wolf-Girl05, so I won't be writing much of this story for a while, even on my site. But it'll be worth it, I assure you! Please review! Sakura
