Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. However, I do own Kaia, the character I made up.

I want you people to know that this is not a romance between Inuyasha and the character that I made up, he is Kagome's man. Keep in mind this is not a predictable fic, at least I hope not! Also I am deeply sorry if this is in any way similar to anyone else's fanfic. This has derived from my own twisted mind. Don't pay any attention to my chapters, they hold no significance. I wrote this as one piece. With that said enjoy! I accept all questions and reviews, good or bad. It just tells me I need to improve on something.

Chapter 1

A young woman sat on the edge of a cliff, enjoying the forest view, while eating her mid-day meal of bread and assorted fruits. Kaia had demonic, white, long hair, (usually pulled into a bun and held by silver chopsticks) a slim face with a stubborn chin and intense purple eyes. Her skin was a ghostly pale cream. She wore a white outfit (like Inuyasha's) and a purple shirt (like a tank top) underneath that accented her eyes, and went barefoot. Around her neck was a silver chain with a little silver star on it. Kaia's symbol. While she ate lunch, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippo carried a wounded Kagome to the clearing a few feet away from the cliff where Kaia sat. During their recent battle with a demon (for jewel shards of course!) Kagome got stabbed through the stomach and was bleeding heavily. The boys set her down and Miroku and Shippo looked through Kagome's bag for bandages while Inuyasha paced in a panic. Kaia, noticing the disturbance, looked up. She drew in a quick gasp, grabbed her knapsack, and gently glided down to the clearing to heal the girl who was drawing close to death. "Ahh! Another demon," Shippo exclaimed. "I'm not a demon," Kaia tried to explain. Inuyasha extended his claws, "Like hell you aren't!" Remaining calm Kaia said,"Inuyasha, I'm here to heal the girl." "And I'm supposed to believe a demon," he scoffed, moving more violently towards Kaia. "I'm not a demon!" she screamed. Suddenly an unseen force shoved Inuyasha back, right as he was about to attack. It pushed him into a tree and he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. "What is it with trees?" Inuyasha thought out loud. 'There' Kaia thought as she turned to Kagome, Shippo, and Miroku. She took several bottles out of her knapsack and then tossed it to the demon and monk. "There is food in there, you can have some." They just stared.
