'Why the hell is it that I am the one that gets stuck on boring lookout while she gets to run off and do whatever the hell she feels like doing?' Aaron grumbled into his mind since soon after arriving at his destination, his sister had run off leaving him there all alone.
"I have it in my mind to just drag her back here so that she could look as well, even if I have to force her. Then again mom might not be too happy if I was to hurt the little brat," he grumbled sitting cross-legged on the cold ground with his arms crossed across his chest.
"That's right," Yukina said popping up out of nowhere scaring her brother slightly with her sudden appearance. "I just went off to scout ahead and see if the two of them are on their way, which they are. They should be here in a few minutes," Yukina said with a bright smile.
"About damn time! I was beginning to wonder if our information was accurate," he grumbled standing up but keeping in the shadows of the shrine that they were waiting at. There was a view of the well house off to the side and that was where all of their attention was.
"Shut up and get down. He will end up smelling you if you don't be careful," Yukina said grabbing a hold of her brother arm before pulling him back onto the ground just as two figured came into view.
Kagome and Inuyasha came walking up the steps of the shrine. Neither of them seemed to want to say anything but they were just content with the silence that was between them.
All good things had to end though. "Sorry Inuyasha but I have to go grab something from my house first before we head back. I will be just a moment. So please just wait here," she said and he merely nodded at her before she ran off ahead into her house.
Inuyasha wasn't sure what it was but there was a familiar stench in the air that he couldn't quite place. It was something that he had recently come in contact with but he could not place where it was that it came from. He just shrugged it off before turning his attention back to the house waiting for Kagome to return.
Kagome meanwhile ran into the house merely intent on grabbing her backpack which she had loaded with supplies because she knew that Inuyasha would be in a hurry to return by the time that they got back from the dance.
"Oh, I see that you are home already Kagome," her mothers voice came from the kitchen. She appeared in the doorway to it a few seconds later with her motherly smile and warm heart open for Kagome.
"Hello mother. I am just grabbing some things from my room before I head back to the feudal era," Kagome explained running up to her room and then returning a few moments later with her heavy backpack hauled over her shoulders. "Bye mom, I am leaving now," Kagome announced.
"Ok Kagome, please be safe," she said returning from the kitchen once again with a small bag in hand. By the way, I made you some food incase you and your friends get hungry," she said with a smile while holding out the bag.
Kagome smiled in return and grabbed the bag. "Thanks mother. This will definitely come in handy. Good bye!" she yelled before she rushed out the door to where the awaiting Inuyasha was.
"It's about time, let's just get going. The more time we waste, the stronger Naraku is going to get," Inuyasha said grabbing the bag off of her shoulder and he ended up throwing it over his own shoulder instead.
Yukina and Aaron just sat there watching the two of them walking towards the well house. "Good, I guess it is about time we get going as well," Yukina said as the two of them stood up from their hiding place and were about to walk into the direction Kagome and Inuyasha went when a sound caught their eyes.
They both looked over towards the steps of the Higurashi shrine. A young male was coming up the stairs at that moment with a smile on his face and Aaron groaned. "This guy really doesn't know when to call it quits!" he growled out in frustration.
"You follow the two of them and I will take care of this moron," Yukina said with a smirk and Aaron knew that it didn't mean any good when she had that look on her face. She saw Aaron nod before he rushed off in the direction of the well house and ran inside before closing the door. No one seemed to have noticed what he had done. "Time to have a little fun," she said running to the other end of the house.
Hojo walked up the house with a present in hand and a smile on his face. He felt he mustered up enough Courage to walk up there, tell Kagome how he felt, and ask her to be his girlfriend.
"Excuse me," a sweet voice was heard of to the side. Hojo turned his head to see a small girl with raven colored hair in a low ponytail. She looked to be only about thirteen or fourteen but she seemed have a look on her that tells differently.
"Why hello there little girl, what are you doing out here at this time of night?" Hojo asked kneeling down to her eye level and giving her a small smile. She gave him a small smile but he somehow felt a little dread come over him for some reason.
Her sweet smile suddenly changed into a mischievous grin and Hojo backed away almost immediately. "I am just here to make sure that you don't get in the way," she said advancing towards him as he backed away with fear especially when he saw the evil glint in her eyes.
"Kagome!" Sango said happily when she saw her best friend come through the door of Kaede's hut. "It is good to see you back so soon. I thought that you would have been gone a lot longer than that. Did Inuyasha just decide to drag you back?" Sango asked looking at Inuyasha who was staring out of the door.
"No, actually I came back on my own because my dance was only going on for one night. I came back willingly after that so that Inuyasha wouldn't get too angry," Kagome said with a smile as she turned too look at Inuyasha only to see that he was staring intently out the door as well. "Is something the matter Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"We were being followed," he mumbled looking out the door as if expecting to see something at any moment. "They showed up out of nowhere just after we came out of the well. They thought they were following silently but I picked them up immediately," Inuyasha said with a grim expression on his face.
"Really? Strange, I don't remembering sensing anyone," Kagome said as she pondered over what it could mean. "It is probably just some human. I would have known if a demon was following us," she said with a smile but a second later, Inuyasha burst out of the doorway heading in the direction of the forest. Everyone got up and followed after him. If they didn't know better, most of them would have thought that he was spooked by something.
Inuyasha ran as fast as he could in the direction in which he sensed their stalker a moment before he ran out of the hut. "What the hell is this that I am sensing!" Inuyasha growled in aggravation.
He came to a stop when he came to a small clearing and sniffed the air trying to decipher what it was that he was smelling. He heard the others come running up and held out a hand indicating that he wanted them to stop, which they did immediately.
"Inuyasha, what is going on? Why are you acting like this?" Kagome asked trying to catch her breath because they had to run really fast in order to keep within a certain distance of the hanyou.
"Stay back Kagome, something is wrong here. Come out here whoever you are!" he demanded keeping all of his senses on alert. He suddenly jumped out of the way as something came down hitting the ground with a fierce power. He barely escaped but he did manage it without any injuries. "About time that you showed your face," Inuyasha said standing up straight while looking at the man who was kneeling on the ground.
"You are a lot faster than I originally thought. I guess that could be expected from all that I heard about you," a male voice said as he stood up and turned around to face the group.
Kagome gasped when she saw who it was. "Aren't you that new kid that goes to my school?" she asked as the name Aaron came into her mind. "How is it that you got through the well? Only Inuyasha and I are supposed to be able to get through it," Kagome said as she pondered over it.
"You are close on that assumption but not entirely true. There are a few others that are capable of it. Speaking of them," he said and paused as another figured jumped out of the tree and landed right next to him. "Took you that long to take care of the idiot?" Aaron asked with a smirk.
"No, I was just having way too much fun," she said as she straightened out her shirt. "Getting a little rusty I see. They don't usually catch you this quickly," she said staring at the group in front of her. Her gaze seemed to settle on Kagome the longest.
"Who the hell are you two?" Inuyasha growled flexing his claws because he didn't like how that guy attack him out of nowhere. "Hey Kagome, do either of them have a jewel shard?" Inuyasha had to ask because these two humans seemed a lot stronger than humans were supposed to be. He looked and only saw her shake her head. "I guess the real question I should be asking is what are you? It is obvious that you are not normal humans," he said flexing his claws.
"You're right. We aren't normal humans as you pointed out. You may not know who we are but we know everything about the all of you. The monk Miroku with a wind tunnel imbedded in his hand by the demon Naraku. Sango, the demon exterminator who is after revenge for the destruction of her village. The kitsune cub Shippo, whose parents were killed by the thunder demon brother Hiten and Manten. Kagome, modern day girl who broke the shikon jewel. Finally, Inuyasha the hanyou who was betrayed by the priestess Kikyo fifty years ago who wants to use the jewel to become a full blooded demon. Like I said, we know all about you," Aaron said with a smirk as he noticed all of their shocked faces.
"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha growled out gripping the hilt of the tetsusaiga. "How the hell do you know all of that about us? Are you a demon, or a human?" he continued to growl out.
A smirk crossed both of the siblings' faces. "Both," Aaron replied. "Like you, we too are part demon yet not a full demon. You may wonder how we don't smell of demons but that is simple enough to understand," he said pulling back the collar of his shirt to reveal a pendant that he wore around his neck. "Magic flows through this necklace, hiding away all of our secrets from those who might find out," he said before pulling it over his head while his sister did the same thing.
A light glow encased both of their bodies as their old features disappeared and were replaced with demon like feature. It was very similar to what Inuyasha went through each time he turned back into a hanyou when the night of the new moon ended.
When the glow disappeared, the two were shown in their true forms. Their features were almost exactly the same. They had silverish hair with black streaks going through them. There were sharp claws on their hands and fangs in their mouths. They looked a lot like Inuyasha especially Aaron with his amber eyes. His sister had brown eyes though.
"What the hell is this?" Inuyasha yelled drawing his sword out and pointing it at the two of them. "You are dog demons aren't you?" he asked and they nodded their heads. "Why the hell do you look like you are of my family?" Inuyasha growled out tightening his grip on his sword.
"Merely a coincidence. I am not of your family. In fact, I am really here to kill you," he said bringing up his claws and flexing them towards the group. He suddenly lunged at Inuyasha with a speed very similar to that of Sesshomaru's.
"Damn he's fast!" Inuyasha said swinging his sword only to have it hit air. He heard Kagome yell at him to look out but it was already too late because he suddenly felt himself get hit hard in his back sending him flying into several trees and creating a small hole where he landed.
