Chapter 3

In his castle, a man had been sitting in his chair. All of a sudden, that man got up.

"So...it finally appears again.." he said happily. "Kanna, come in here."

A young girl walked into the room. "You called?"

The man beckoned her over. "Show me where the Shikon o Tama is. I've felt its power once again after all of these years."

Kanna held up her mirror to show him. The mirror held the image of a little girl with the jewel around her neck.

"Ah, a young girl has it..it shouldn't be too hard to get it from her." A young boy then came into view. The man reconized the face. "Inutaisho..you actually had children." he smirked with pleasure. He had enjoyed killing the traitor Inutaisho and leaving his wife fatally wounded...and now he'd be able to kill off the rest of the family.

'Catch!' Inuyasha threw the ball and Kagome caught it. She threw it back.

Inuyasha was about to throw it again, when something caught his eye. He turned and looked at one of the houses, one that had been empty for awhile now. Only, it wasn't empty now.

'Hey look! New neighbors!' Inuyasha thought happily. He and Kagome called everyone in the village neighbors. 'Let's go meet them!'

Kagome nodded. It wasn't often new people came to live in the village.

They walked over to the house. Kaede and Kikyou were already there.

Kikyou smiled when she saw them. "Come to meet the new villagers?" she asked.

Inuyasha and Kagome nodded. Just then, a young man and woman walked out of the house.

"Is that them?" Inuyasha asked Kikyou curiously.

"Yes, that's them."

The man and woman walked over. The man looked at them. "Who are you?" he asked pleasantly.

"I'm Inuyasha, and this is Kagome." Inuyasha said.

"What nice names." the woman said, just as pleasantly as the man. "I'm Sango, and this is my hentai husband, Miroku."

"Sango! Don't tell them things like that!" Miroku whined.

"I'm only warning them." she retorted. Then, seeing the look of confusion on the kid's faces, she laughed. "We argue like this a lot."

"Yeah..and Sango usually wins.." Miroku said, almost pouting.

"That's cause she's a girl, and girls usually win." Inuyasha said.

"I suppose you're right, but I still love her." he said quickly, seeing that Sango seemed to be getting a little angry. That immediatly calmed her down.

"You'd better." she said playfully. "Now go, you need to finish unpacking."

"Yes ma'am. It was nice meeting you, kids." Miroku said, walking inside.

"Good boy!" Sango called after him.

While they had been talking, Kikyou had left and then come back with two bowls. "Here you guys go." she said, handing them each one.

"Thank you Kikyou-sama." Inuyasha said. "And it was nice meeting you." he told Sango.

"Likewise."

Inuyasha and Kagome turned and walked off towards the woods.

"Where are they going?" Sango asked Kikyou.

"They live over there." she replied.

"They live on the other side of the woods?"

"No, they live in the woods."

"Don't they have a home here?"

"Sadly, no. They've been orphans since they were little. But they do help out in the village."

"Oh.." Sango watched the two disappear into the woods.

~~~~~~~~~

After Inuyasha and Kagome had eaten, the curled up next to each other and fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~

Naraku watched this all. "Kukuku..so unsuspecting...very good." He signaled to someone, who nodded and walked out of his room.

"Excellent...they'll all be dead soon. Kukukuku..."
