Chapter One

A silver hair half demon wearing a red fire-rat kimono and two soft and totally cute dog ears ontop of his head stood on a stout branch of a tree on the outskirts of Kaede's village. The sun was beginning to peek over the mountains in the distance and give the day it's blessing with it's glorious presence. Inuyasha inhaled deeply and slowly exhaled. He had always enjoyed watching the sunrise, but not as much as he admired and loved to watch the pale moon sail across the night sky. He listened to the morning birds as they sung their cheerful morning melody, but even as he listened to the cheerful morning song he felt uneasy. Inuyasha could feel something tugging at him, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He became frustrated that he couldn't figure it out, but he could definately feel that something bad was going to happen.

Sighing, he managed to brush it off. He leapt from his perch, scaling a few tree tops and landing on another tree branch. He continued this pattern until he came to Kaede's hut in the center of the village. He landed on the roof of the hut and listened intently, checking for signs or sounds of movement from below. From what he could hear, Kagome, Shippo, Sango, Miroku, and Kaede were still snoozing away. Inuyasha growled in frustration.

'How can they sleep for so long?' he asked himself.

On the verge of giving the gang a loud and rather rude awakening, he stopped. He heard Kagome mumble something incoherently in her sleep and move around a bit, then she was quiet again. Inuyasha smirked.

"This should be interesting..." Inuyasha said quietly to himself.

THUDD! BANG!

Inuyasha leapt from his crouched position, high into the air and came crashing down.

Inside, the gang awoke with a frightened start. Shippo cried out in terror that a demon was attacking them, Sango grabbed her giant boomerang bone and Miroku got up and grabbed something that wasn't exactly his. Leaving Kaede to look after the wounded Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippo ran outside to face the imaginary demon.

"Took you guys long enough to wake up" Inuyasha shouted from the roof.

"Inuyasha, what's going on" Sango yelled up to the roof. "Where's the demon"

Inuyasha 'feh'ed' and looked away and said"You're lookin' at him."

"You mean you're the one who was pounding on the roof and woke us up" Shippo cried wrathfully. Inuyasha growled and glared back at the tiny kitsune. The two began to bicker and Miroku and Kaede walked out from the hut.

"What's going on out here" Kaede demanded.

"Inuyasha was kind enough to decided to wake us up" Kagome replied cheerfully, but her expression quickly went from cheerful to sinister. "So I think I'll be kind enough to help him off the roof..."

Inuyasha twitched with a small tinge of fear and his eyes challenged her to say it. Kagome gladly accepted the challenge and slowly uttered the word Inuyasha dreaded most.

"Sit, boy"

Inuyasha let out a cry as his necklace glowed and quickly re-introduced his face to the ground. His body lay in a small crater as he slowly waited for the pain to go away.

"Serves you right" Shippo commented.

Inuyasha growled and jerked his head up from the crater.

"Hey, you guys weren't awake and we have to get an early start today if we want to catch Naraku! Or have you forgotten that we still have shards to collect" Inuyasha raged.

"Come on, Inuyasha. Can't we stay and rest here for just one more day" Kagome pleaded.

"No! We can't kill Naraku if we just sit around here all the time" Inuyasha shouted back.

"Well we can't very well get him if we're still tired and sore" Kagome shouted back.

"Don't yell at me" Inuyasha shouted.

"I'm not yelling" Kagome yelled.

"Wench!"

"Jerk!"

Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kaede sighed in unison. Inuyasha and Kagome certainly knew how to start a day off with lots of yelling and screaming and a lot of 'sitting'. After several minutes of this Inuyasha had hurt Kagome's feelings and she ran towards the well, as she usually did when Inuyasha made her cry. Inuyasha sighed and crawled out of the crater that Kagome had created with the past thirteen sits.

"I think Kagome's going for a new 'sit' record" Sango commented thoughtfully.

"Shut...up" Inuyasha replied weakly.

"Inuyasha, you're such an idiot! You have to go and stop Kagome and bring her back" Shippo cried and began to beat Inuyasha with his tiny little fists. "Why do you always have to make her cry and run away"

Inuyasha growled and bopped the kitsune on the head, creating a large bump. Then, just as he was about to chase after her trail, Inuyasha felt something. It was that same ominous feeling he had had earlier this morning.

"Do you guys feel that" Inuyasha said lowly.

Miroku and Sango concentrated and instantly felt the strange aura. Shippo sensed the powerful aura as well and hid behind Kaede.

"What do you think it is, Inuyasha" Miroku asked with concern.

"I don't know, but I can sure smell it. It kinda smells like a fox and it's heading towards the wel" Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock and fear. The demon was heading straight for Kagome! Inuyasha cursed under his breath and ran off towards the well, Kagome, and the demon as fast as his legs could carry him. He continuously cursed to himself and prayed that Kagome was alright and that he would get to Kagome before the demon did.

He was too late though. Inuyasha heard Kagome scream just as he rushed into the area.

"Kagome" he shouted.

Kagome whipped her head to Inuyasha's direction and cried out to him. Inuyasha leapt in front of her protectively and pulled out his Tetsusaiga. He glared menacingly at the demon before him. When he finally got a good look at her, he was astonished. It was a vixen with long raven hair and black fox ears on top of her head. She looked slightly similar to Inuyasha, with the ears and all, except she had a long, bushy tail and the tips of her ears and tail were a dull silver color. She was indeed a stunningly beautiful woman. Her dark green eyes on her elegant face flicked over to Inuyasha and a smirk formed on her thin, pale lips.

"So...you are the half demon they call Inuyasha" she inquired. Her voice matched her features perfectly. She had a sweet and beautiful voice and every word she spoke sounded like a verse from a song.

"Who wants to know" Inuyasha barked nastily. The vixen smiled.

"Be careful, Inuyasha. She has a shard of the shikon jewel" Kagome warned.

The vixen smiled again and pulled out a small shard from the folds of her dark purple sash. She held up the jewel fragment for them to see.

"You mean this silly old thing" she asked.

"Who are you and ow did you get that" Inuyasha demanded. The vixen smiled and examined the shard as she spoke.

"My name is Uraiz. That dreaded half demon Naraku gave it to me" she said plainly. Inuyasha and Kagome gasped.

"So he hired you to come and kill us" Inuyasha growled. "I'll have no problem cutting you down."

"No need to get fussy, Inuyasha" Uraiz replied. "In fact, I really don't see why he gave it too me. Actually, I don't even know why I'm here. Naraku just asked for me to come and steal your shards or something. I guess because I'm a fox he assumed that I could just steal if from you."

"There's no way that's gonna happen" Inuyasha roared as he attacked Uraiz. Uraiz leapt out of the way and dodged another attack from Inuyasha.

"Really Inuyasha, stop swinging that thing at me" she said playfully and threw some sort of powder at him. Inuyasha went into a coughing spasm and his Tetsusaiga transformed back into a rusty old blade. Inuyasha was shocked and Kagome gasped.

"What do you want with us" Kagome calmly said as she drew her bow.

"Look" Uraiz held up a hand in defense. "I really don't want to be here, nor do I wish to bloody my hands. But my only daughter's life is in Naraku's hands and told me that if I wanted to see her alive again that I'd have to come and"

"Kill us and take our shards, right" Inuyasha interrupted. "Well let me tell you something, Naraku's tried that before and it ain't gonna happen. And like we'd believe that sappy little story. You're a fox and foxes are liars, theives, and tricksters"

Uraiz's eyes filled with saddness and regret. Kagome noticed this and felt that she wasn't lying about her daughter. She suddenly felt the urge to reach out to her and help her.

"Can't we help you" Kagome asked. "Get your daughter back, I mean."

Uraiz closed her eyes sorrowfully and sighed"There's nothing you can do about it..."

Kagome approached her slowly and wanted so badly to comfort her. Suddenly Miroku and Sango burst through the bushes. Uraiz quickly glanced at them and suddenly her keen ears picked up a faint buzzing sound.

'Damn,' she thought to herself. 'Naraku's bugs are heading this way to make sure that I've completed this mission. I have to act swiftly!'

Without warning the vixen grabbed Kagome's hand and placed something small in her hands and whispered in her ear"Here, take this. I don't need it, but I think you and your friends want it."

Kagome looked down at her hands and gasped when she saw the shikon jewel shard in her hands. She looked up and gaped at Uraiz when suddenly Naraku's poisonous insects emerged from the sky and hovered over them. Miroku and Sango began to fend off the deadly insects and Uraiz acted quickly and leapt away from the gang and concentrated on Inuyasha.

Naraku's words echoed through her mind, "I don't care what you do with them, vixen. Just attack Inuyasha and his shard detector. Take this sacred shikon jewel shard to aid you in this mission. Just remember, if you fail me, your daughter's life belongs to me..."

'Well, Naraku said that he didn't care what I did with them,' Uraiz thought to herself. 'I guess I'll go easy on them and just put a short curse on them.'

It all happened so quickly. Uraiz leapt towards Inuyasha and Kagome, Inuyasha tried to shield Kagome, Uraiz muttered a chant and threw some sort of dark powder on them and everything went dark. Kagome and Inuyasha's head began to spin and the last thing they could remember was Uraiz disappearing from their vision, the buzzing of the poisonous wasps slowly fading, and Miroku and Sango's worried cries. Then everything became dark and misty.
