I do not own Inuyasha.

Inari's POV

I stared at the wolf demon. I then turned to Cassiel to signal I was ready to fight.

"Inari, take Kagome out of here. If by some miracle he gets past me, you need to protect her."

I wanted to snap back and say I don't run from fights, but Cassiel was right. If she went down, I would need to protect Kagome. I turned around and grabbed Kagome's arm. I heard her give an eep then follow me. We went to a waterfall where I hoped the water would erase any traces of our sent. I pushed Kagome behind the waterfall and told her to stay there. I needed to go and lead my sent farther away so as to trick the wolf. I didn't get far before I heard a voice behind me.

"What are you doing here?" a menacing voice asked. I turned around to find a pair of familiar auburn eyes staring at me with distrust. "You smell like Hiten. Wait there's another smell. IT'S CASSIEL! YOU SMELL LIKE CASSIEL. Where is she. She has something that belongs to me." He didn't even let me answer before he pulled out Tetsusaiga and started swinging. At that moment the one person, or should I say wolf, that I was trying to avoid showed up. Hiten decided to make it his duty to save all his brothers. Little did he know I'm not one of them. I watched Inuyasha swing at Hiten, as Hiten shot a fireball at him. It ended with Inuyasha getting knocked out by Kouga. Wait Kouga's here? What happened to Cassiel? I was getting worried. Cassiel should have been able to defeat Kouga yet there wasn't a scratch on him. Oh no.

Cassiel be alright.

Cassiel's POV

I watched Inari grab Kagome and run. I turned to face my opponent. I wasn't about to loose to him. He turned my way and got into an offensive stance forcing me to go to the defensive.

"No one gets between me and protecting my woman." Kouga said. He gave me no time to respond as he used his speed to come at me. I dodged and was about give a counter attack when I saw his foot headed strait for my head. I dodged again. This went on for about an hour. If only I hadn't of used so much energy to bring Inari here. That's when I felt the blow. When I opened my eyes I no longer saw Kouga but another fox.

"Inari?"

"No my daughter." said a male voice.

"Who are you?"

"I am your demon father. I have come to see weather the demon blood in you has survived. Apparently not. There for I will kill you as I did your mother. My name is Dagon. Though it will be of little use since you will not survive."

"You killed mother?"

"Yes. It was very easy to do. I thought she was a demon so I mated with her. When I found out she was a warrior I decided I had no use for her. You will be no exception. You are too soft. Your demon blood has very little chance of coming to life, so you are not needed. Your sister however may be my key to victory."

"Wait where is Kouga?"

"That mutt. I have no fight with him so I let him go." with that he turned and came at me before I was even standing. I felt my head slam into the tree behind me and I screamed in pain.

Normal POV

Inari heard the scream, as did everyone near her. She turned toward the sound. She knew who it was from. She dashed from where she was sitting and ran toward the scream. Everyone followed. Everyone except Inuyasha. He was still unconscious. When she got to the clearing she saw Cassiel laying in the middle of the field in a pool of blood. Her blood. She watched a male fox walk over to Cassiel. He was laughing. Inari transformed right then and there. She was pissed. She ran at him with speed demons only dream of. They fought for awhile before Inari collapsed to the ground. To wounded to fight. Her father was in no better shape. Before he disappeared he whispered something that made Inari's blood run cold.

"You will be my victor. You are already being consumed by rage. When I return you will join me." with that said he vanished, and Inari blacked out.
