Chapter 2

"I know them because I have ancestors in this era." I answered. He looked at me with wide gold eyes.

"Can you come take a walk with me and explain some more?" he asked, his cheeks blushing. I blushed a little bit too as he asked me.

"Sure." I answered. The demon was obviously a half demon because he had smaller claws then a full demon, he had two dog-ears perched on his head, and he smelled like one. Unlike other demons even ones in my era who didn't like half demons I didn't mind, and it seemed like he was a very kind demon, so I had no problem walking with him.

"What is your name?" he asked after walking for maybe a minute.

"My name is Shasta, I am daughter of the American demons Dustin and Sierra, I became an orphan when I was five so I'm not sure of my last name. I got the jewel shard because Kagome and Inu-yasha never found one, the one my ancestors the dog demon Hirai had." I answered.

"You are a demon? And what is America?" he asked.

"Yes I'm a demon you can't really tell because over the years we have been able to disguise ourselves. In the blink of an eye I could change to either one of my demon forms. America is another continent west of here. Nobody here really knows about it at the moment but those north of here will in some amount of time. After mortals "founded" it demons went over there too and that's how demons got there. What's your name?" I answered his question.

"My name is Guddorakku." He answered. He looked up at the sky as if he was thinking of something very important. I turned to demon form so that my claws were about an inch long, my ears were very pointed, my fangs a demon's size, my hair a bright silver that ran to my thighs, two silver stripes ran from my ears to ¾ of the way to my nose, for some reason I also had natural makeup on, some blue and silver eye shadow, and some black eyeliner. He looked at me then almost fell over.

"You didn't believe me, did you?" I asked.

"Uhh. . . uhh. . . ," I took him a few seconds to answer "No you just uhh look. ... different. Yeah!" He answered. I rolled my eyes guys were so weird.

"Guddorakku, Akisame, dinner." Yelled a woman's voice.

"I got to go. It was nice meeting you." Guddorakku said to me and started to walk away.

"Hey wait," I yelled after him and he turned around and looked at me. "Meet me here tomorrow at noon." He simply nodded and walked away. When he had vanished from my sight I turned and looked for somewhere to sleep. I decided that I would sleep on a branch that looked out over the clearing. Just as I was about to jump up I noticed a smell, the smell of wolves, and of wolf demons. My claws started to glow bluish silver, the same color as my eyes, that meant they were becoming poisonous.

A cyclone burst into the clearing. After the cyclone stopped spinning a wolf demon with long brown hair stood in its place. He stared at me with a funny look on his face for a few moments until I spoke.

"You've never seen a dog demon like me have you?" I asked him sighing because I was beginning to realize that I was going to get some funny looks in this era.

"True I haven't but you have a jewel shard all the same so I'll be killing you. Yes, before I kill you do you mind answering a few questions about yourself?" He answered. I simply rolled my eyes and explained my story to him. After I was done he nodded his head a few times then out of the blue swung his fist in an attempt to punch me. I dodged and had his throat in my fist, my poisonous claws burning his flesh. I may be faster than him he was stronger, so in a minute he had punched me in the stomach. I collided with a tree and the part of my sweater below my rib cage ripped. This made me very mad, and before I knew what I was doing I had created the whip that many dog demons had, wrapped it around him, pulled him down to the ground. I was halfway to shoving my claws through his gut; my eyes were glowing red like they do when a demon transformed into its animal form. Suddenly I realized what I was doing so I stopped myself and jumped into a tree.

"I can't believe I actually almost killed someone, father, mother, help me." I whispered but the demon heard me.

"Yes you are capable of killing you might want to watch out," he started to walk away. "I'll be seeing you again I will get that shard." He disappeared. Looking down at myself and noticed that my jeans were ripped almost all the way around halfway down my thighs, I ripped the legs of the jeans, past the rip off and threw the fabric on the ground. I did the same with the rip under my rib cage on my sweater. I still had the top half of my sweater to protect my arms and a T-shirt underneath. With that done I fashioned myself a pillow out of the fabric and slept until dawn
