A/N Okay, I'm here, and ready to write the next chapter! Okay, can you belive this is Chapter 20? Wow, and I'm not even halfway done.

Disclaimer: You already know I own Rachel, the new villian is mine too.

To P.L.S.: So, you got the white butterfly clue, huh? That was a good guess, but I have yet to see a butterfly that high up.

To rsd: Aww, man. How'd you get it right? I thought I was being sneeky, but oh well. :P

Chapter 20: Mistaken Identity

Rachel looked around her new surroundings. She looked to be on a path about halfway up a mountain, a smoking mountain. "Um, maybe I should get out of here." As she began to walk downwards she noted the high level of vegetation. She brushed off her school uniform and pulled her hair back into a low ponytail, tied with a white ribbon. 'What's with all the trees? When I get to the nearest city, I will have to ask someone what happened.'

Suddenly, she sensed a negative aura approaching her, well, not so much 'negative' as not human. She turned around just in time to see a tornado come streaking to her. "What the?"

"KAGOME!!!" The tornado screamed.

Rachel looked very confused. 'Did that tornado just talk? Wait a minute, tornado plus coming at me equals...DANGER!!!' She began to run down the mountain.

This turned out to be in vain, of course. The tornado stopped in front of Rachel, blocking her escape. When the dust cleared, she saw a young man standing in front of her. 'Something's not right about him, what could it be? Wait a second, he's not human, but what is he?'

The guy looked at her. "Kagome, didn't you hear me calling you?"

Rachel looked blankly back at him. "Huh? Who are you?"

The guy's eyes widened. "Its me, your beloved Kouga! Oh, my God, being with that dog-turd has messed with your memory!" His eyes flashed anger. "I'm going to kill him!"

Rachel looked like she wanted to run again, "Um, Kouga is it? I assure you that I am not 'Kagome,' my name is, uh, what are you doing?"

She stopped talking as Kouga started to sniff her. "Hey, you're not Kagome, but you look so much like her, same style of clothing, long black hair, pulled back miko style...hey, she never pulled her hair back like that."

His eyes showed confustion, then fear. "You must be...KIKYO!!! AHHHH!!!!"

With that, he turned and hauled it down the mountain. Rachel looked at the spot where he just was. "Um, okay."

********************************************************************************

Kagura and Kanna sat in front of a very ticked Naraku.

"Unbelivable! A half-demon is all that stands between me and the shikon no tama, and you can't even defeat him!" Naraku yelled at the two. "I give you jewel shards, and you lose them, I give you power, and you become weak, I give you allies, and you let them die!"

At that moment, a figure stepped forward, "Perhaps, Naraku, you need stronger allies."

The three turned and looked at the stranger. "And just who are you?" Naraku asked him.

The stranger smiled. "Just a person with a simalar problem to your own. I too have an annoying pest that I am going to have a hard time defeating. So, I propose a union of forces, so to speak, I help you with your little half-demon, and you help me destroy the soldier of flame."

Naraku thought this over very throughly. 'Hm, this guy could be very useful, heck, if he could help me get the remaining shards away from Inuyasha, then he would solve two of my problems. And, once I've got what I want, I'll just kill him.' Naraku smiled and held out his hand to be shook by the figure. "You have a deal, my friend, I am Naraku, and these are my underlings, Kagura and Kanna."

The figure smiled. 'The fool, he'll soon meet his own death.'

"You can call me Arius."

Ends chapter 20

A/N Man, I wanted to get further, but its 12 o clock and I'm dead tired. I'll make it up to you guys by making the next couple of chapters really long, kay.

Also, to clarify, you got my butterfly clue, right? In epsode 1 of Inuyasha, when Kagome is climbing out of the well, a white butterfly flies past her face. I love to tie in events from the tv shows I like into my stories.

Remember, Review! Cause it gives me a purpose in life. :P
