Disclaimers—nope still don't own anything but Aura, and Hoshi.

Chapter 1....... Reuniting

"Finally" Aura said as the large demon fell to the ground. "That bastard got a hit on me!" Her face was red. It was an easy battle but it had taken longer than usual. Maybe she was getting slower? No she had so much speed it was even hard for her to see herself. Then she thought, "No he didn't hit me I hit him." Yes that was it she had hit him with so much force that her stomach graded his armor. "It was my own fault..." she realized.
She put her swards away and begun to walk towards a slow moving river. 'If he had left me alone and went on his way he would still be alive now.' She thought as she walked to her river. 'One good thing did come out of it. I did get another shard, that makes 5 now,' and she continued to walk to the river. She was all dirty and bloody. She hated being dirty just as much as she hated being who she was.

Off in the distance not too far from the river that Aura was heading for Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo where heading towards where Kagome sensed some Jewel shards.
"Inuyasha the shards are moving" Kagome called to him as he jumped into a tree trying to get a better look of where she was leading them.
"Which was Kagome?"
"There by the river!" Everyone came to the slow moving river. Inuyasha flexed his claws as he came to the edge. "Well it looks like they are going to make it easy for me." He said peering into the river.

Aura's paste had stayed the same. She would reach the river in a matter of minutes. Her stomach was in pain and by the time she reached the river side it killed. She was unlike any other henyou she had ever met. Unlike them she didn't want the shards to become more powerful. No, to her they where just pretty shards to use as a neckless. The second she saw the water she took off her kimono reviling a top that showed her stomach and a short skirt. She dived into the water as someone yelled something.

"There! The shards are here under the water in front of us!" Kagome yelled as she saw someone dive into the water. They all watched the water to see if anyone would come up.
When Aura did resurface her back was to the gang. "Oh how cold." She said out loud. She now began to sing "Cold water err. Chill right to the bone err, makes me number than I was." Inuyasha heard the song and like a river rushing over him, bunch of memories came back to him and he couldn't stop from yelling out "Aura?"
Everyone looked at him, and Aura stopped singing and got out of the water. She walked over to Inuyasha soaking wet and sort of confused then in a simple voice said. "Yes, What is it lord Inuyasha?"
By now everyone was in shock at they starred at this demon, but where even more shocked about how she addressed Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha you know this woman?" Sango asked with a confused tone in her voice.
He didn't answer her... He just kept starring at Aura like he was dazed. Aura began to shiver and shook the extra water off her. Slowly she asked him "Well what to you want Lord Inuyasha? I'm all dirty and want to go back into the water."
Inuyasha blinked twice then took a deep breath and said "What the hell are you doing alive?" He paused and looked around at everyone's faces, and then back at Aura's and continued to say. "I thought you died in a battle with a bunch of demons when my father was killed?"
Aura looked at him weirdly then said. "Dead, Died? What the hell are you talking about you stupid dog boy?" then she stopped herself before adding "I've never been attacked and failed to defeat an enemy Lord Inuyasha. That was a lie that someone must have told you when I never came back."
Shippo couldn't hold his tong for much longer and yelled out. "Hello? Will someone please tell me what is going on?!"
Aura looked at Shippo then said "Oh what a cute little fox." She smiled, "What are you doing with a rude puppy little one?"
"Well he needs me too watch after him." He replied cheerfully.
"WHAT!!!" Inuyasha yelled hitting Shippo on the head.
"Oswri!" Kagome yelled and Inuyasha hit the ground with a large thump.
Aura looked at Inuyasha who was on the ground. Then said "Naughty, naughty puppy, you really never change." As fast as she had come form the water she was back in it.
As she swam the gang ate a small picnic.
"Inuyasha" Kagome began
"What?" he snapped Kagome ignored him and said "You know she has 5 shards right?" "WHAT? That is just great how the hell am I going to get them from her?" He barked.
"Inuyasha" Aura was now behind him, "Stop barking. But you are right I won't just give them to you, but I have no intension of using them any ways..." Then she started to walk into the woods.
Miroku had been watching Aura very carefully. Inuyasha had told them nothing about her and it seemed as though he would never tell them.
Later when almost everyone was asleep, Aura got up and went for another walk, but unlike last time Miroku followed. She led him to a cliff where a branch stuck out. Aura jumped up onto the branch and Miroku hit behind a tree watching her.
Then Aura began to sing. As the sung, Miroku heard creatures gathering. As her voice filled his ears someone jumped in front of him. This girl was singing along with Aura though she didn't notice.
Take my hand
Let me lead you from your fears.
Take a look into my eyes,
Know that I will protect you form all your fears.
Remember that I will always be there for you.
Remember that I will always love you. There voices filled the forest, then silence and Aura began to hum the tune.
Miroku couldn't speak; he was helpless as the strange girl approached Aura from behind.

(Well that is it for now. I hope you liked the little song I wrote it myself for this little story. Well I am out for tonight Ja Ne!)
