Summary: Inuyasha never had friends when he was younger till he met Serenity and everything changed. But once Serenity is taken away from him, he loses the ability to love, and begins to grow deep with hate in his heart, wishing to become a full fledge demon for revenge. Now more than 50 years later, he still wishes that. Kagome's new friend, that may in fact be from Inuyasha's past, joins the group and brings back Inuyasha's suppressed memories. Together they try to help each other piece back their lost pasts, and heal from them too. Along the way they reveal their past's secrets. Hers possibly being the most shocking, from her identity to what really happened in the present. Secrets that change everything from the brewing relationship between Inuyasha and Kagome, to what they once thought to be the truth...

This chapter's summary: The past begins to unfold rapidly, and Kayla…or should I say SERENITY takes on her true form. Now it's up to Inuyasha to figure out if she is the real Serenity, or her reincarnation…and we find out why exactly that Inuyasha is skeptical that she could be the real deal. And when someone that Inuyasha rather forget comes around, we find out that little insecure girl isn't at all that weak!

Attack from the past

Immediately Inuyasha rushed to Kayla, catching her before she hit the ground. The others though, stood staring in shock at Kayla's new appearance. The creature she had transformed into was anything but human. It had become clear why the crystal that had been placed with a spell was in her possession. Out from her head were two dog-like ears just like Inuyasha's and from her back, she has sprouted angel wings. Her hair had also grown to the point where it dragged on the ground and was now completely purple, with black tips.

"Serenity…" Inuyasha said without realizing who she was, pushing her bangs out of her face.

"It hurts Inuyasha." She said, grasping onto his red shirt as he cradled her in his arms.

"I know. Don't worry. The pain will stop."

"No…it never will. It never ends."

And then she blacked out.

Inuyasha waited outside the hut alone till Kaede and Kagome were finished bandaging Kayla's wounds. She must be so worn out, Inuyasha thought. Since her wounds aren't healing on their own, her body must have gone through a lot with the transformation. He was sure now though who Kayla must be.

Miroku came back from finding specials herbs to ease the pain. "Inuyasha…"

"She's a half demon. I know Miroku. I sensed it too." Inuyasha said coolly.

"You seem to recognize her. Is that what it is?"

"She just…looks like someone I once knew. But that person died too many years ago to count. It's impossible that she is…"

"Inuyasha, I would think that you by now would know that nothing in this world is impossible."

"Miroku! Do you have the herbs?" Kagome called from inside.

Miroku walked into the hut. Inuyasha leaned against the hut's wall. He looked up into the sky. Miroku is right. Kikyo's been brought back to life and Kagome is her reincarnation. This shouldn't surprise me I guess. But…I'm remembering Serenity, and what had happened that day. I saw her die…I saw her murdered. And all because I didn't stop it. If only I had been faster. If only…

Later that evening, Kagome, Kaede, Miroku and Shippo all gave up on staying awake till Kayla awoke. Inuyasha decided to stay outside under the stars and think things over. So many memories were brought back at the sight of Kayla. So many painful, wonderful childhood memories…yet, he wished they would go away. He knew the truth. Kayla couldn't possibly be Serenity, but like Miroku said, in this world anything is possible.

Inuyasha turned his head quickly as soon as he heard something behind him. Claws ready, he turned fast at the stranger.

"Well, hello to you too." Kayla said, looking at him with no fear in her eyes, just an empty tiredness.

"Oh, Ser…um…Kayla, how are you feeling?"

"Well, sore I guess…but more like confused. How did you know Inuyasha?" The two sat down next to each other, under a tree.

"Uh…what do you mean?"

"You saw right through me. You knew my real name. Do you know me?"

"What are you saying?"

Kayla looked thoughtfully to the stars and moon. "When I was eight, I woke up in my Grandmother's one room apartment. I had no idea who she was, who I was. She told me that my parents and I had been in a car crash and I had been the only one who survived. I apparently hit my head hard and lost all my memory. But when I looked at myself I had no cuts, scars or bruises. My Grandmother gave me this crystal necklace, saying that it belonged once to her, and my mother, and all the women in our line. She told me never ever take the necklace off and never lose it.

"This," Kayla held up her wrist, and showed Inuyasha the tattoo. "This is a protection spell. Only I can't read it. That day I woke up, I knew no one. And to this day the only thing I know is that my real name is Serenityand I have no past."

Inuyasha stared at her…This really may be her!

"I never told anyone this." She drew her knees up to her chest, and hugged them tightly. "When my Grandmother died, I was sent to foster homes. There was when I started noticing that I was different from everyone else. I could move things, small, but never the less, move things with my mind. I would find myself levitating when I woke up in the morning. Minor cuts and scraps would disappear a second later after I had received them. I could read peoples minds, and receive premonitions. It freaked the good foster parents out. Then, I began being sent to the bad ones. First the couple set of parents ignored me, or just treated me like I didn't exists. Then there were the abusive parents who would hit me for things I did wrong. Then the ones that hit me for no reason.

"And then came…" Serenity began to choke up as the painful memories came back to her. "…then came those parents where the guy would rap me and his wife took her anger out on me since he favored me more than her. It became too much for me. I finally decided to get out. So I packed up and ran off. I would go to different towns and enroll myself into school under a false name. At some point someone would find out the truth, but by then I was right back to running away from my problems to the next town.

"It wasn't till I came to Kagome's school did I really finally find her, a real friend. But then, by powers began to intensify and these flashbacks became too frequent…I'm just so tired now. And to now know this…" Serenity held out her hand, where crystal shards laid. "My Grandmother cursed it so no one would know what I really am. Am I a demonic angel? I'm so confused Inuyasha. All I know is, when I saw you I knew that I'd seen you from somewhere before. I know you, maybe from the past? I don't know.

"Look, Inuyasha. All my life I've been running, searching. And finally now I have found some clue that may lead me to the truth. So tell me…" She shifted around to look directly at Inuyasha, so as her wings wouldn't hit him. "Who am I?

Flashback

"Inuyasha!" Serenity ran up to him

"Serenity!" Inuyasha turned to see her., and grasped a hold of her shoulders. "What's wrong?"

Through her tears, Serenity managed to talk. "My grandmother. She is so against us being friends Inuyasha. So against it that she is…is…"

"What?"

"She's moving the Danka tribe out of the village! I told her I rather die than leave you, but she insisted. My mother is trying to change her mind, but she is the tribe's pack mother. Inuyasha…" Serenity dug her face into her now 12 year old best friend, and wept. "Inuyasha…I don't want to go! I DON'T WANT US TORN APART!"

"No one can do that stupid." Serenity looked up. "No one can tear our friendship apart. You and me till the end. I promised we would always be together right? I promised I would keep you safe and protect you. And that's what I am going to do. I won't let anyone take you away from me Serenity." Inuyasha hugged her close. "No one."

End Flashback

"Hum…"

"What is it my lord?"

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru, what is the matter?"

"It seems this, "He dangled the gem in the air. "…is calling out to someone."

"But Lord Sesshomaru! That crystal has never shown any life or power to you before. You were never able to possess it's real power."

"Yes Jaken." Sesshomaru fingered the crystal in his hands. "That witch never told me how to use it properly."

"So what are you going to do with it my lord?" Rin asked innocently.

Sesshomaru got up and began walking.

"MY LORD! WAIT FOR ME!"

This crystal. It's power was believed to be even more powerful and greater than that of the Shikon Jewel. But the reason for why it was never coveted and searched for by other demons was because only one person could use it and release it's full power. And it seems that person has arrived.

So Lord Sesshomaru let the power of the awakened gem guide him to its rightful owner, so as he could now possess it's great power.

Inuyasha stared that Serenity, almost as though looking at her finally for the first time. "You can't actually expect me to answer that question do you? I mean, you look like someone I once knew. You have the same name, the same eyes, the same everything. But how can I be completely sure that you are her?"

Inuyasha, I need ans…" Serenity stopped mid sentence, her eyes glazing over.

Inuyasha stood up as she too stood. "Serenity?"

She began walking toward the forest in a almost ghostly like manner. The wind began picking up and whipping around her until she was lifted up in the air her wings flapping. She began flying fast for the forest, keeping about 6 feet distance from the ground.

Inuyasha ran after her, screaming her name.

"Inuyasha, what on earth is going on? " Kagome sleepily peeled away the bamboo door flap, and watched as Serenity flew by the door, and Inuyasha rushed after her. "Hey! Wait!"

Miroku heard Kagome screaming and rushed out of the hut after her.

Shippo came out after Miroku. "Hey! WAIT FOR ME!!!!"

Serenity in a trans-like state flew as fast as she could to whatever seemed to be drawing her. Her body didn't even seem conscious to the blood that trickled down her back from her wings moving to fast after their opening wounds not fully healing. She knew Inuyasha was following her, but she couldn't seem to stop. Though her mind tried it's hardest, she lost against her body.

Inuyasha was trying hard to keep up with Serenity. Man she's fast. He wasn't even aware that the others were too following them. He kept running till they all came up to a clearing about half a mile away from Kaede's hut.

"What on earth? SERENITY WHAT THE HECK ARE WE DOING HERE?" Inuyasha yelled up to her, but she didn't seem to hear him. "Hello? Serenity…?"

"Inuyasha, something is wrong."

Inuyasha spun around to see Miroku, Kagome and Shippo panting. "What are you all doing here? Did you follow us!?"

"Inuyasha…" Serenity said in a very dead-like voice, as she descended from the sky to the ground.

Serenity pointed to the edge of the opened field where the trees lined it for miles. Inuyasha say the bushes rustle, and suddenly he felt a demonic aura. He sniffed the air and his ears tweaked as he heard the voice of a little girl.

"My lord, where are we going?"

Inuyasha stared cold and hard as the figures emerged from the forest were none other than his older brother and his company.

"What the…? Why did you bring me to Sesshomaru Serenity!?!!"

Serenity didn't hear him. She began walking toward Sesshomaru, almost as though she was being pulls toward him. Inuyasha stood for a moment, trying hard to suppress the memory that came flood fast forward to his brain.

Flashback

"NO! GET AWAY! LEAVE HER ALONE!" Little 12 year old Inuyasha stood in front of his best friend in the world, Serenity.

"Get out of the way!"

"NO! I WON'T LET YOU HURT HER!"

"Then you shall die with her Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru drew his sword.

"STOP! LEAVE THOSE CHILDREN BE!" Serenity's mother appeared from no where.

She chanted a spell that threw his sword away out of his hand.

"Stupid witch!" And with that he sent his claws ripping through her skin.

"MOMMY! NO MOMMY!" Serenity left from behind Inuyasha and rushed to her mother's fallen body. "Mommy!" She cried, hugging her mother's corpse. "Mommy! Please, don't leave me!"

Inuyasha grew with anger. He clenched his claws in his hands. He didn't care that it drew blood, it only helped.

"CLAWS OF BLOOD!" His power flew at Sesshomaru so fast that he had no time to get out of the way. He was hit full on.

Inuyasha watched his older brother be pushe d back by his own new power. He rushed to Serenity's side. She was holding her mother's hand, cooing at her, and wishing for her to open her eyes.

"I'm sorry Serenity." He said, holding her and rocking her in his arms, while his tears fell upon her hair.

"I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU YET YOU HALF BREEDS!" Sesshomaru rushed at Inuyasha, his sword drawn and ready.

Serenity stepped in front of her best friend. Before Inuyasha could push her away, he was thrown back by a pure white, intense light that blinded him. Then everything went black.

End Flashback

That was more than 50 years ago. I never found Serenity's body, or her mother's. From then on I vowed to revenge her death by killing Sesshomaru. There was when my hate for him began. I was to become a full demon since I knew that was the only way I'd be able to beat him. But now there is a big possibility that she isn't in fact dead!

Inuyasha rushed after Serenity, vowing silently that nothing would happen to her. Not this time.

Sesshomaru stepped up closer, but stopped as he saw his brother and a girl approaching. Who is she?

Serenity got closer to Sesshomaru. She stopped in the middle of the open field. The moon shined down on Serenity, almost illuminating her wings making them look as though they were silver. It was then that Sesshomaru got a good look at the girl and realized who she must be. He smiled. So, it is her.

"CRYSTAL…" Serenity reached out her hand.

And the crystal that Sesshomaru possessed flew out of his hand and into Serenity's. It was then that Inuyasha saw for the first time on his brother's face, something of emotion. Sesshomaru was surprised.

Serenity began to lift up into the air again. This time, the crystal released its power, and wrapped around her half demonic aura. Sesshomaru took this chance to charge and strike at her with his sword. Inuyasha drew his sword and went to charge at Sesshomaru before he could do anything, but he stopped dead in his tracks. Serenity's crystal had created a barrier around her. As soon as Sesshomaru struck the barrier, his sword ricasayed and threw him backwards.

Serenity, her eyes blazing with energy, descended once again to the ground. "Sesshomaru! You shall pay a heavy price for the treason you caused in the past upon my people!"

But Sesshomaru was gone, leaving only Serenity's voice to echo.

A/N: I know, I have been taking WAY too long to update…but to my joy I have FINALLY gotten thru my little mental block on how exactly to go by getting Serenity's complete past out. So now, believe me the story will much faster now…and hint hint, you might get upset with me later on in like the 9th or 10th chapter with the character I place in a scenario with Serenity…don't hate me!

Oh, and once I have some more spare time…aka, after finals during spring break, I will start working on my Fullmetal Alchemist fan fiction. I just have to get it down in my computer and out of my head. Alrighty people, look forward to the next chapter… A Travel to a Village: First meeting!
