Hi everyone, I apologize for the slow update for this chapter. But something went terribly wrong on my original chapter two document so I had to re-do it. I've decided to change it a bit, but I hope it's just as good as the original one. R&R and I hope you like the FF!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha, I however DO own Aki and Ami and any other OC characters.

A young girl raced through the forest floor, a hungry demon was not far behind. The girl spotted a small opening in a tree, "I think I might be able to squeeze through that gap." She increased her speed as she closed in on the tree then she jumped in and edged closer to the interior of the tree. The wild vicious demon clawed and scraped at the tree, but it did not budge. A short while later, the demon finally gave up and strode away. The frightened girl finally squeezed out of the space in the tree. "Wow that was close!" She breathed. Then a familiar voice came, "Aki, is that you? What're you doing here in the forest alone? It's almost dark." Aki looked up to see a young woman dressed in a pink kimono. "Lady Sorahana! You're back from the trip!" the neko youkai ran to Sorahana. The young woman winced. "No need to call me Lady Sorahana just Sora will do." Aki nodded, "Yes lady…" she paused, "Sora" Sora laughed as she walked off towards the village, "Come along now, Aki" Aki nodded and followed her.

After they arrived back at the village, Sora was greeted with cheers. Sora stood wide-eyed at everyone, "Geez, you don't have to make such a big deal out of me coming back. All I did was slay a demon for some villages, is all. It's my job as a demon exterminator." Aki giggled, "I think that's the reason they're cheering." Sora smiled weakly at the villagers and hurried to her village house. "Man, I cannot stand that much attention!" she said exasperated as she leaned on the door. Aki smiled nicely and went out the house, "I'm going to get some water from the well okay?"

Inuyasha dropped to the ground and started sniffing it thoroughly, "I can't catch Naraku's scent anywhere around this area." Kagome put her index finger to her mouth and thought hard, "hmmm… How could that be? I thought I caught the drift of the jewel shards directly this direction and Naraku as well." Miroku replied, "Maybe Naraku is disguising his scent somehow." Kagome stared at him, "But….But I could still have sensed the jewel shards anyways….right?" Miroku turned to Sango, "Does Kirara sense anything?" Sango bent down to Kirara and shook her head, "No, she seems to be as baffled as we are." Inuyasha got up from the ground, "Maybe Naraku just gone a different direction and thrown us off track by putting his scent on another path." They all nodded in agreement. Suddenly Kagome tensed up, "THE JEWEL SHARDS!" Sango and Inuyasha turned to Kagome, "Where?" Kagome pointed upwards, "THERE! NARAKU IS UP ON THE GRAY CLOUD! AND HE IS HEADING TOAWRDS A VILLAGE!" Inuyasha carried Kagome on his back and leapt off in the direction of the cloud, "Sango, Miroku, get Shippou and search for the village and warn everyone! Kagome and I will track Naraku!" And with that Inuyasha hurtled towards the dark cloud.

Naraku turned back, "ah, Inuyasha. Kagura, I'll leave them for you to handle. Can I trust you to do so?" Kagura nodded bitterly, "Sure" and she flew off towards Inuyasha. Stupid Naraku, I'll kill you someday, somehow. She thought.
Naraku turned away from her as the dark cloud closed in on the village, "There are three shikon shards in that very village and I'm going to get them!"
