Well if you've come this far, you should just skip it and read after the chapter marker. Still reading? Ok. I don't own inuyasha, or any other animes I add.

Past longing

"Now first things first. I'll be taking those." Yura grabbed the jar around Kagomes neck and took the shards. "Ogre let her go." The ogre slayer said as he tried to move. Yura then came over to him and put her hand to his face. He tried to bite her fingers. "My, my, I heard about you. So tell me why do you wish to be human?" He spat in her face. "It's better than eating them." She rubbed the spit from her face and smacked him. "Oh, on second thought you're first. I be back once I figure out what to do to you. And I promise, it will be long and painful." She then left them hanging. Ogre slayer turned to look at Kagome. "You said you killed her, what was her true form?" Kagome spoke then as she looked at the teenager dressed in a school uniform. "His brother and I fought her in the futile times." She the pointed with her finger to Sesshomaru. Afterward she related the story on what happened. "And I broke her comb in two with the arrow." Sesshomaru spoke then. "You didn't just leave it alone did you?" Kagome shook her head. "We thought she was dead. "You foolish human, you should have thrown one of the pieces into a lake and taken the other with you to this time." Kagome didn't understand, so ogre slayer explained. "From the way you killed her, she can regenerate over time. Haven't you ever heard of the stories that involve demon items. They were always carried to the four corners of the earth. That's why." "Oh." Kagome said as Gato spoke. "So all this time my neighbors been an ogre?"

Ogre slayer shook his head. "No, she is possessing that woman's body, and from the way her soul looks, she has been so for a long time." Rin then spoke. "Where'd she get all the bodies though?" Gato spoke then. "From their cloths I'd say around the 1940's. A lot of people went missing then when the Americans came here, in fact I noticed some of their kind here too." Sakai mar spoke then. "So any idea on how you guys and gals are going to get out of this one?" Everyone shifted their heads in Sesshomarus direction, they had never even noticed the small demon "and who the hell are you." Rin asked. "Oh just a watcher." Gato spoke quickly. "So can you help us get out of this mess?" Sakai shook his head. "Sorry but I can't leave my grounds, so you're on your own." He then faded away. "Great we're all gonna die, she's probably gonna eat me and Rin." Ogre slayer shook his head. "No, your just humans. She'll most likely eat us and you two after you die will become part of her army." Rin heard this and started to thrash around. "I'm not goanna be eaten by my next door neighbor."

Ogre slayer closed his eyes. "You won't be if you stay quiet so I can concentrate." His aura started to build as the hair holding him started to burn. He fell to the ground and grabbed Onikirimaru from where it had fallen from his grasp. He then began to cut the others free. Sesshomaru was the first. He dropped down and grabbed his sword. He freed Rin as ogre slayer freed Gato. He then turned toward Kagome. "Now for you." "Not quite." Yura spoke as a large tentacle of hair wrapped around Rins neck. "Drop your weapons and surrender or she dies." Ogre slayer looked at the oni. "She means nothing to me. "He then started for Yura. More hair tentacles caught both him and Gato as the moved to attack. Sesshomaru rolled out of the way, barely avoiding the one coming for him. He felt a change in him then. He could feel his demonic powers coming back. Sakai mars original words rang in his mind then. "The spell will break when you protect some one." He looked at Rin and the others. "I will save you all." His aura then let out a loud roar as he lost his left arm and the claws and markings appeared on him. "Behold my true power witch."

Now it's on.
