DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Inuyasha! However, I DO own Koinuyasha and Sakura! Mwuahaha!

Shape-Shifting Demon: Sakura

"Sakura, I'll see you tomorrow" Mrs. Henbrix told a girl as she walked out the classroom. "Goodbye now, Sakura. Work on that math I showed you" The girl nodded and walked out the door into the pouring rain.

The girl, about twelve years old, was walking home after a hard day of school. She had long black hair, twinkling eyes, thick lips, and was thin. The girl walked down the street to her house which was about half of a mile away. She held a pink umbrella over her head, and stumbled through puddles. It was raining hard, and the girl didn't want to get wet.

"Hey, baby" a voice said behind her. She spun around quickly.

"Wanna make out?" A different voice said. Standing behind her were two boys, about fourteen years old.

"Dream on" the girl muttered and started walking faster. One of the boys grabbed her arm and pulled her back. He shoved her into an alley. Her pink umbrella flew out of her hands and into some mud.

"Leave me alo-" she started screaming, but the boy put his hand over her mouth to stop her. The other boy snickered behind him. He moved closer to her, so they were almost touching. Sakura bite the boy's hand off her mouth.

"Ow! That's it!" the boy said grabbing her by the throat so that she couldn't breathe. "You're dead" The girl girl held her arms out in front of her protectively, and a blue sphere emerged from her hands. The sphere flew and hit the boy holding her neck, he flew backwards immediately. The girl looked at her hands shocked.

Did I really do this? She thought.

The first thought on Inuyasha's mind when he woke up was catching Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru had just recently formed another alliance with Naraku, and well, that just made it harder for Inuyasha.

"Get up Inuyasha!" Koinuyasha shouted right in Inuyasha's ear. "I guesswe're going to have to find Sesshomaru without Kagome."

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked grumpily.

"She left to go back to her time earlier" Miroku replied. "You overslept"

"WHAT! But she's the only one who can sense the jewel shards! I have to go get her. What an IDIOT!"

"We'll I wanna come!" Shippou insisted.

"Why don't we help you, Inuyasha? We'll find her faster that way." Sango agreed.

"No, I want to get this done fast. I'm gonna get Kagome and come back." Inuyasha shouted and stomped over to the well. He found Kagome sitting on the edge of it.

"I knew you'd come." Kagome said. "Didn't you remember that I need a shard of the jewel to get through to my era? I didn't expect to find one, but there was one in those bushes over ther" Kagome pointed her finger over at some bushes. "That's when I decided to go back to my time, and I'm going"

"No you aren't! We have to find Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled.

"I'm going! I need a bath!" Kagome said, and jumped into the well. Inuyasha grabbed her arm, and fell in himself. They reappeared at the shrine. Kagome easily climbed the ladder up and Inuyasha hopped up after her.

"We're going back!" Inuyasha said.

"You can go back, I'm staying!" Kagome said and stormed out of the shrine.

"Kagome you-" Inuyasha started, and saw that Kagome had a blank expression on her face. "Kagome?"

"There's a shard of the jewel nearby" she said. "This way" she pointed to her right. She hopped on Inuyasha's back and they set off. They ended up in front of a two-story house.

"I can sense it, it's pure! It's right inside here." Kagome whispered. They climbed up the side of a house and found themselves peering through a window. Inside the pink room they were staring at sat a young girl perched on her bed reading a book. Inuyasha punched a hole through the window and climbed through, helping Kagome in as well. The girl looked terribly frightened, and immediately dropped her book.

"W-wh-who are y-y-you?" she stuttered.

"Hand over the jewel shards" Inuyasha said, picking the girl up by the hem of her shirt.

"Inuyasha! NO!" Kagome squealed.

"GIVE US THE SHARD" he screamed at the girl.

"Inuyasha, sit!" Kagome said loudly.

"Kagome, what'd you do that for!" He said, picking himself up. He beared his claws and faced the girl. The girl held out her hands in front of herself and a blue sphere emerged and knocked Inuyasha up against the wall.

"What is she?" Inuyasha asked.

"Some sort of demon I think.." Kagome said, startled.

"D-demon?" Sakura asked. Inuyasha turned around to face the girl again, but found that he was staring at himself. He backed away, startled.

"W-why are you scared?" the girl said. Kagome was startled too, before her eyes was a second Inuyasha. The girl turned toward a mirror to look at herself. What she saw was not herself, but Inuyasha. The girl let out a loud scream. Footsteps started thumping down the hallway.

"Oh no!" the girl gasped. "Mom and Dad will never believe it's me! I'm doomed!" she muttered to herself. Without thinking, Inuyasha picked up his double and Kagome and got out of the house quick. He brought both of the girls back to the feudal era.

"Now, hand over the jewel shard!" Inuyasha demamded.

"You mean my amythest?" the girl asked, and pulled a a shard of the Shikon Jewel out of her pocket.

"Amythest. Yeah, right." Inuyasha said, attempting to snatch it out of her hand. The girl pulled her hand back quickly.

"You can't have it unless you show me how to transform back" the girl said.

"Fine then, good lookin'. But none of us are shape-shifters… we don't know how… wait a minute" Inuyasha thought over it. "Shippou! You're a shape-shifter! Tell this girl how to transform" he commanded.

"Hi, what's your name?" Shippou asked.

"It's Sakura" Sakura replied.

"Hi there, Sakura" Sango said, smiling.

"Shape-Shifting is actually really easy! Just concentrate really hard on what you want to change into…"

Sakura concentrated really hard. She wanted to turn back to human really badly. She opened her eyes and saw herself staring at her own feet!

"I did it! Yes!" she screamed. Koinuyasha was in shock over Sakura's beauty. He hadn't ever seen anything more beautiful. Sakura tossed Inuyasha the shard.

"So, Sakura, how old are you and what grade are you going into?" Kagome asked. She thought it was nice to have someone from her era around.

"I'm twelve, and I'm going into 7th grade." Sakura said.

"That's cool" Kagome replied. Kagome explained everything about being a reincarnation of Kikyo, and hunting for the Shikon Jewel shards. She couldn't help spilling everything. Sakura and Kagome could talk about things from the future that no one else in this era understood.

"Tomorrow I need to explain everything to my parents. I want to so badly find the jewel shards with you guys. That would be great!" Sakura said, and drifted off to sleep.
