Aphtin: I really wish I could draw a good picture of her for you...Anyway, she has long black hair that falls to about her mid back, black cat ears, yellow eyes, baggy black pants, black shirt, and a black hilted sword in a black seathe. Now for the numbers. 17171717 is the divider between the story and the other stuff I write. 111111 is the divider to show a scene change. I hope that answers all your questions!

cherryblosomz: No, this isn't Inu/OC pairing. And yes, the others will be in it, just not for maybe another chapter or so.

Kagura walked into the room where Naraku was a little later. "She says that Inuyasha'll be dead before morning," she said in an annoyed tone. She was annoyed that she had to go and carry Naraku's messages all the time.

"Good," Naraku said. "You'd like to know how I'm so sure that my latest scheme will work, right?"

"Not really," Kagura replied.

"Since you want to know so bad, I'll tell you," Naraku said, either not hearing her remark or ignoring it. "You see, even though Inuyasha and Naomi were once friends, Naomi doesn't remember him. Her mind was erased by her mother, the demon parent."

"Uh-huh," Kagura said, bored.

"You'd like to know why her own mother erased her memory, wouldn't you?" Naraku asked.

"I don't really care," Kagura replied.

"Her mother thought it would be easier on her if she didn't remember Inuyasha," Naraku said, once again either not hearing Kagura or ignoring her. "She didn't think that they'd ever meet again. Now I'll bet you're wondering how I know all this, right? I mean, not even Onigumo was born when this happened."(I heard somewhere that Inuyasha was a couple hundred years old, and Naomi left when he was only fifteen)

Kagura was examining her nails. "You're gonna tell me anyway," Kagura replied, clearly very bored. "So just go ahead and get it over with."

"A demon told me in hopes that I wouldn't kill him," Naraku replied grinning evilly. "And-"

"And you killed him anyway, even after you promised you wouldn't," Kagura guessed. "Anyway, see ya." She turned and walked out of the room.

"Anyway, see ya," Naraku mimicked in a high pitch voice.

Naomi shortly came to the tree where Inuyasha was asleep. She grinned. 'This'll be easy,' she thought. She leapt onto the branch gracefully and silently. She drew her sword, positioning it by Inuyasha's neck. 'One clean sweep...' She looked at him for a few seconds, and suddenly her muscles wouldn't work. 'He's...so familiar...It's like I know him...'

Inuyasha's eyes fluttered open. "Huh?" he said groggily. Then he looked at Naomi, and his eyes went wide with shock. "Naomi!"

Naomi was taken aback. "How the hell do you know my name!" she shouted, pressing her sword tip against his neck, just enough to make a little blood trickle down.

"What are you doing!"

"Answer me!" she said fiercely. Her eyes held the same fierceness as her voice.

Inuyasha knocked aside the sword, sending it flying out of Naomi's grasp. "It's me! Inuyasha!" he shouted.

"I know who you are!" Naomi shouted back. "But I don't know how you know me!"

"Wha-" Inuyasha was shocked. "You...don't remember?"

"Remember what!"

"The promise!"

The words hit her hard. Her breath caught in her throat and her head started pounding. The words echoed in her mind.

The promise...The promise...

Naomi leapt out of the tree and landed on her feet right next to her sword. She dropped to her knees, clutching her head in pain. There was something she needed to remember...

Inuyasha leapt down too and squatted beside her, placing his hand on her shoulder. "Naomi?" he said. "You okay?"

Naomi swatted his hand away and jumped to her feet, grabbing her sword. "Don't touch me!" she shouted shrilly. Then she turned and ran into the woods, calling over her shoulder. "Don't follow me! If you do, you'll be sorry!"

Neither Inuyasha nor Naomi noticed the single saimyoushi(Naraku's poisonous insect) flying overhead.

-

Naomi ran through the trees, head in her hand. The pain was incredibly severe, and she wondered what was causing it. She finally stopped when she got to a river. She sat down on the bank. Her head stopped hurting so much, and she let go. Then she hugged her knees and layed her chin on them, closing her eyes.

"You failed," said a voice behind her. Naomi jumped up and turned to see Kagura standing there.

"That Inuyasha," Naomi muttered. "He has some kind of spell or something over me! But don't you worry, I'll kill him next time."

"You better," Kagura said. "Naraku doesn't tolerate failure." She left on her feather, leaving Naomi watching her go for the second time that night.

When Kagura was out of site, Naomi clenched her fist. 'Inuyasha...I'll prove to myself that you are nothing to me by killing you tomorrow night. Nothing will stop me this time.'

Review please!
