Well, here's Chapter 2. I decided to put this on at the same time as Chapter 1 so I can get a couple chapters done with seeing as I've got 18 done…

Chapter 2: Powerless Hanyou

Kagome awoke and found herself in a small shack. It was small, about twenty-five feet long and fifteen feet wide, and had one small window that let in a surprising amount of light. When you walked in there was a kitchen to your left with all the proper utensils for cooking and a few foods to cook with. To your right there was an area for sleeping, where Kagome currently was. There were a few things here and there, and in the corner a place with one or two extra kimonos in case something happened to one of them, but near the kitchen area was a black sword that was so sharp it could easily cut your skin, just by touching it, and it was probably used for protection. On the top of the black sword was a red symbol that looked like fire, but it was in the shape of a dragon. Kagome had a light blanket over her, and her bow and arrows were at her right side.

A girl of about sixteen with a very long braid and a green kimono in the style that a miko would wear walked into the shack and started to cook. Her hair was pitch black, and she had dark brown eyes. Her hair was kept together by a light green piece of fabric that matched her kimono. She was fairly tall, almost six feet, and had large feet. She hummed while she did this and then turned around, seeing Kagome awake. "You're up! Good. That means you can eat some food," said the girl.

The girl finished making the food and gave a nice portion to Kagome, and gave herself a smaller portion. The girl sat next to Kagome and she started eating.

Not touching her food, Kagome let out a small gasp. There's a jewel shard in her neck! she thought, slightly alarmed.

The girl looked up and saw the look on Kagome's face and asked, "What's the matter?"

Kagome looked at her food and bit her lip. "I-I just don't know where my friends are," she said. It wasn't a complete lie, but she wasn't exactly telling the truth either.

The girl looked off into space and said, "I don't know. You were alone when I found you. You had an arrow in your hand and looked worn-out."

"What is your name?" asked Kagome.

"I'm Kyoumi. You're lucky I found you. If you had been left out there any longer you may have been eaten by youkais," said the girl. "By the way, what is your name?"

"My name is Kagome," she said, trying to remember how she got separated from her friends. The youkai! thought Kagome. He kidnapped me! But how did this girl find me? I was out in the middle of the forest.

The two talked to each other for a while, and the morning soon turned into dusk. They talked about Kagome's friends and what they were like, and Kagome asked Kyoumi about her past. Kyoumi kept changing the subject whenever her past was brought up.

"I wonder if InuYasha will ever get here..." Kagome said to herself soon after she had some dinner.

"I'm sure he will. He sounds like a nice enough guy. It might take him a while to find you, though," Kyoumi answered.

"But he's a hanyou! He has a very good sense of smell. I am just wondering if anything is holding him back."

"Probably just can't pick up your scent," Kyoumi said, trying to sound reassuring.

"Maybe..."

Kyoumi finished putting her dishes away and froze. She heard something outside. It's probably just a kid, but I better be safe, just in case... Kyoumi thought as she reached for her black sword.

Just when she grabbed it, her door was busted down and a giant sword came down to hit Kyoumi.

She pulled her own sword up and blocked the giant one just in time. It took a lot of strength, but she kept it up.

"She blocked the Tetsusaiga!" said a small child's voice.

A white-haired hanyou was in her home and attacking her!

"Let Kagome go, youkai!" yelled InuYasha.

Fear could be seen in Kyoumi's eyes, but they were soon replaced with anger. "I'm not a youkai! And Kagome is free to go any time!"

Kagome stood up quickly and yelled at the top of her lungs, "SIT!"

InuYasha fell to the floor automatically and groaned. He then got up and yelled at Kagome. "Why the hell did you do that?"

"Kyoumi never hurt me! And she isn't a youkai!" Kagome yelled back, just as loud as InuYasha.

"Yes she is! I can smell it in her blood!" InuYasha yelled back.

Everyone turned to look at Kyoumi who was looking very scared and worried. She looked at everyone carefully, Kagome's soft gaze,

InuYasha's hard glare, Sango's angered look, Miroku's questioning eyes and Shippo's odd glances at everyone.

"Well?" InuYasha said sharply.

Kyoumi sighed and looked at the ground. "I-I am a youkai."

Kagome gasped and InuYasha let out a triumphant "HA!"

"BUT-- I am not full youkai. I am a hanyou. And, I have no powers," Kyoumi said, looking at everyone like she was ashamed of herself.

"But you smell of so little human," InuYasha said, more calmly now.

"My mother was a hanyou and my father was a regular youkai. I have more demon blood than most hanyous."

"See, InuYasha? She's harmless! Be nice to her!" Kagome said to InuYasha with a sort of angered look. Kyoumi felt relived.

She doesn't hate me because I'm a half-demon Kyoumi thought. She smiled weakly. Just then Miroku walked up to Kyoumi and lightly grabbed her hands.

"Miss, would you be so kind as to bear my children?" he asked. Kyoumi's face went from relief to confusion in a matter of seconds.

And just a few moments after Miroku asked her that, Sango hit him on the top of his head with her hiriakotsu. "You'll have to excuse, Miroku. He asks every pretty lady that, even if they are hanyou... Or maybe he wasn't listening... Anyway, I'm Sango. Nice to meet you," said the youkai-slayer while looking at the monk the whole time. Miroku now had a large lump on his head where Sango hit him with her weapon, and he let go of Kyoumi's hands to hold his head.

InuYasha turned towards the door and said, "We better get going. We have to find a safe place to sleep."

"You could stay here," Kyoumi suggested.

Kagome looked at InuYasha hopefully. "No, we're not staying here," InuYasha said forcefully.

"Come on! What is the matter? It's not like she's going to kill us!" Kagome yelled.

InuYasha let out a low growl, obviously tired of this and said, "There won't be a moon out tonight."

"All the more reason to stay here!" Kagome yelled. She pulled on his arm and said, "We're staying, and that's final." Her tone of voice and look on her face seemed to scare InuYasha, so he finally agreed.

"But you have to help put the door back up if you want to stay here," Kyoumi said to InuYasha.

"I'm not putting that door back up!" he yelled back at her.

The next moment he found himself stuck outside.

"You know, he should have just put the door up, instead of fighting about it," Shippo said as InuYasha walked in and put the door up with unneeded force.
