This was supposed to be the fifth chapter but I decided to add Kagome in one of the chapters. I don't want it to be all about Inuyasha that just wouldn't be as fun!

Since I already hade this written it didn't take me long to type up. After this the writing is going to be slow so get used to it!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Come back here monster!" yelled on of the villagers. The monster that was terrorizing their village was back again, this time stealing some of their food.

They stopped when they came up to the forest that the monster lived in. There was no way they could catch it now. Each of them cursed and kicked the ground. That bread took them ages to make.

The demon chuckled as he watched the villagers walk back to their village, heads hanging low. He bit into the bread he had stolen, hungrily. It had been a long time before he had anything decent. He wiped his lips with the sleeve of his haroi and headed toward the stream. Stealing was thirsty work.

When he got there he cupped a clawed hand into the water and drank the cool water the stream had given him. After he was done drinking he jumped on to the nearest tree branch and took the butterfly clip form his haroi. Was it just him or was the clip getting smaller? He shrugged it off.

His mother had died five years ago because of a sickness that could not be cured. Even though the medicine had helped her it didn't completely heal her. His heart became cold and he hardly let anyone get close to him. He was alone in the world but then he remembered Kagome and the promise he made to her and he was not one to break a promise. He missed her and would have gone looking for her sooner if his mother didn't get sick.

The thing was though that he didn't know where to look. His mother had mentioned a demon slayers village and it was his best bet to go there.

He sniffed the clip. It barley had her scent but it was enough to keep his hopes up for finding her.

The only reason he had set foot in this village was because he thought Kagome would be here. To his disappointment she wasn't so he decided to rest here until the thought it was okay to leave again.

One of his dog-ears moved backward when he heard footsteps coming from behind him. He sniffed the air in case it was nothing to worry about. He snorted when he smelt humans. He was curious as to why anyone would come into this forest with him in it. He jumped from tree to tree in search of the brave human.

When he found the human he was surprised to see two humans instead of one. Strength in numbers, he guessed. He watched them closely, hidden beneath the shadows. He recognized one of the humans. He was one of the villagers that chased him a few minutes ago. The other one though was unfamiliar.

He had black hair that was tied into a rattail behind his head. He wore a black robe with a purple sash starting form his shoulders and stopping at his waist. He had a staff with him and he was sure he was a monk. He looked strange and he didn't like him one bit.

The small villager was shaking like crazy while the monk stayed calm, observing his surroundings. "Thank you monk, for doing this" said the villager.

"Its no trouble. I do this all the time" he replied cheerfully, "But you must leave. I'm not sure what this demon can do and I might not be able to protect you" The villager nodded and quickly ran back to the village, happy to be leaving the forest. When the monk was sure that the villager had gone he looked the demon in the eye. It startled him but he did not run away.

The monk smiled, "Come out demon. I know you're there"

The demon emerged from the bushed not caring that the monk had found him. The monk observed his features, from his white dog-ears to his clawed toes. The demon never took his golden glare off the strange monk and didn't move when he walked toward him.

"You're not like any other demon I've ever seen," stated the monk. The demon snorted, "That's cause I'm not a demon" This shocked the monk, "But you're ears…"

"I know!" he yelled. He crossed his arms and finally took his glare off the monk, "I'm a half demon" The monk smiled, "Well that changes everything" he stuck out his hand, "I'm Miroku"

The half-demon snorted telling Miroku that he wasn't going to shake his hand. "Right," he said as he put his hand back to his side, "Well do you have a name?" The half demon opened one eye, took a quick look at Miroku before closing it again. "Inuyasha"

Miroku smiled a satisfied smile, happy that he was getting somewhere with the half demon. He sat on a nearby stump, clasped his hands together and sighed heavily ready to get this over with. "Inuyasha I want to get out of this village as much as you do."

"What? What makes you think this is not my home?"

"Well for one thing if this was your home you would have terrorized the village much more then you do now. Also when I came in the forest with the villager you would have attacked us for stepping into your territory instead of hiding in some bushes."

The monk was smart he gave him that. Since this was going to take long Inuyasha sat on the ground in front of Miroku. "What makes you want to get out of this village?" he asked. "I just don't like this village," said Miroku resting his hands on his knees, "Not enough women" Inuyasha blinked. Did he say what he thought he just said?

"And besides," Miroku continued, "I cant leave until I defeat you" This made Inuyasha confused. "Then why are you being so nice to me?"

Miroku chuckled. He grabbed the prayer beads that were around his right hand. "Sorry Inuyasha but I must do this." Inuyasha's eyebrow rose. What was he going to do with his hand? Punch him? Ha like he could! Inuyasha waited for the punch but it never came. Instead the monk shouted 'Wind Tunnel' and a huge whirlwind started to suck him in.

Inuyasha grabbed on to a nearby tree and dug his claws into its trunk, knowing that if he let go he would be sucked into the monk's hand. Many other things like rocks, plants and rodents were being sucked in. A cracking sound came from the tree that Inuyasha was holding on to. Inuyasha knew it would only be a matter of time before the tree would snap in two and go into the whirlwind taking him with it.

Miroku was getting tired and his hand started to tingle with pain. He was taking in too much. He had to stop. With his left hand he wrapped the prayer beads back around his hand and the vortex stopped making Inuyasha fall to the ground. He dusted himself off and cracked his knuckles. That monk was going to get it for what he did.

A spiting crack made Inuyasha's ears move back. The tree was falling forward and would squish him and Miroku if they didn't move. He easily jumped out of the way from the falling tree and noticed Miroku having trouble. He rolled his eyes, grabbed the monk and jumped out of the way just as the tree fell on the ground with a loud 'thump'.

"Y-you saved me!" Miroku said shocked. He bowed to Inuyasha only getting a snort in return. "As a token of my gratitude I will follow you where ever you go until I have repaid my debt"

Inuyasha thought about this. He would have a servant who would do obey his every command? He like this. Miroku did not like the look on the half demon's face. It made him regret about saying anything. "Fine monk. You can come along with me, but" he looked at Miroku. "Do you know where the demon slayers village is?"

Miroku placed a finger on his chin. His face lit up, "Yes I do. But its quite a far distance away from here"

"I don't care, lets go!" Inuyasha pulled Miroku as he started to walk in the direction he thought the village was. "Um Inuyasha"

"What?"

"The village is that way," he pointed in the opposite direction that they were going. Inuyasha let out a frustrated growl before stomping off in the direction Miroku pointed to.
