Chapter 1: Kagome's secret revealed

Authors Notes for the story- This chapter takes place during the InuYasha episode called- The Terror of the Ancient Noh Mask and for SailorMoon after the Dead Moon Circus because I haven't seen after that episode so I'm just making it up as I go. Well enjoy! I hope!

Kagome was just shutting her locker after she had put all her books from school. She was glad that she was done with her test for a while so she could go back through the well and find some more shreds of the jewel. Kagome was on her way out the doors of the school when her friends come running up and started bothering her about Hojo and her going out. Just then she heard one of the boys out on the steps of the school saying about a really cute girl by the entrance of the school. Kagome knew only one person that all the boys in the school thought that was cute; her best friend Serena. Kagome ran out the school to see who she thought that it was and she was bring bother by a lot of boys wanting to go out with her but she keep saying no because she was older the them. "Serena," yelled Kagome as she ran towards Serena and away from her annoying friends.

Serena had been standing at the entrance of Kagome's school for about 10 minutes and she still hadn't showed up and she was slowing losing her temper with all these boys asking her out or other questions that she would rather not mention for she feared that she would lose control of what control she had. When she was about the use Mars firepower to get them to leave her alone she heard the one voice that stopped her from frying these perverted young boys. Kagome came running at her waving her arm in the air. Kagome pushed through the crowd of boys and grabbed my hand and made a mad dash run for it towards her shrine.

They quit running after they got away from the crowd of boys. They both stop to get some air in their lungs, well more like Kagome needed the air not Serena. She was use to running to and from school all the time like a bat out of hell and beside Serena ran every morning 5 miles to stay in shape.

"Thanks Kagome for the save, I though I was never going to get away from them," said Serena as she and Kagome started walking towards the shine that her mother owned.

"Don't mention it, you also saved my tail as well because the girls were bothering me about Hojo again. I think he's cute but, I don't know; it's just complicated," said Kagome as she ran her fingers through her thick, black hair.

"Its ok Kagome I know how you feel, but don't be pushed into going out with him if you don't want too. I'll just tell you now that I'm on your side and support whoever you chose to date or be with, but I do hope that he's cute. But, to ask a more interesting question, where have you been, your grandfather keeps telling me that you're too sick with all these disease. You look as healthy as a horse, so do you mind telling me who he is," asked Serena as she looked at Kagome with a mischievous glint in her eyes, and elbowed her in the ribs lightly.

Kagome stopped to look at her friend and couldn't help but laugh because she was right, she was missing school because of a guy, but she wouldn't say that. Kagome was about to tell Serena something when an ambulance when by them.

"I sure hope whoever was in the accident is alright!" Said Serena as she interrupted Kagome from telling her answer.

"Serena, I just have been helping a friend that has been needing my help lately. And please don't ask me any more on the subject because I don't want you involved in my mess that I have created for myself," said Kagome as she looked at Serena with tears in her eyes. "Because I don't want you to see what I see and go through what I have too everyday. But my most greatest fear is I don't want to lose my best friend and sister." Tears started to come down Kagome's eyes as she told Serena her feelings.

Serena couldn't believe Kagome her best friend/sister couldn't tell her this small secret, because she wants to protect me. But I guess that it's the same for me and my little secret. So I guess we're even. Serena raised her hand to Kagome's face to wipe the tears away on her face, "Kagome, my best friend, my sister you know that I will NEVER leave you ever no matter what. And for telling that you don't want me to see what you have seen goes the same for you. For I fear that I have seen far worst them you could ever see," said Serena as she pulled Kagome into a hug to comfort both of them.

When Kagome was about to say something to Serena they heard a couple of boys talking to each other about a fire at the Sunset Shrine. Both girls looked at each other and started running towards the shrine. Both girls where running into people, but that didn't stop them from their task at hand.

"Kagome I hope your families ok!" yelled Serena over her shoulder to Kagome who wasn't far behind her.

"So do I Serena! So do I!" yelled Kagome as they got to the steps of the shrine and pushed past the crowed of the people that had gathered there. Kagome and Serena rushes up the stairs.

When they get there they find Kagome's mother just finishing a conversation with a policeman. They both run up to her mother. "What happened mother?" asks Kagome with Serena by her side.

"The storage room caught on fire with your grandfather in it and he was taken to the hospital because he passed out from all the smoke they're telling me," said Kagome's mother as she hugged Kagome. "Serena it's so good to see you again after all this time. I'm really sorry that this visit was not what you planed on. I'm going to the hospital to look after father grandfather and I was wondering if you and Kagome can wait for Souta," said the mother as she pulled away from Kagome to look at both girls.

"I can handle that," said Serena as she hugged her adoptive mother. "Go and we'll wait for him."

"Thanks Serena. Kagome. I'll call as soon as I can to tell you how he is," said the mother as she run off into the crowd. Probably to find out what hospital the grandfather was taken too.

Kagome can't help but wonders how the storage caught on fire with nothing flammable inside it, but Kagome wasn't the only one wondering but for a different reason all together because Serena felt a very evil presence here. "Serena could you think of anything that could have caught fire in the storage room?" asked Kagome as she looked at her best friend who seemed to be lose in thought. "Serena. Hey Serena, earth to Serena. It's safe to land back on earth now," said Kagome as she waved a hand in front of Serena's face. Serena looked to be even more spaced out then before and now really tensed for some reason. "SERENA!" Yelled Kagome.

Serena was taken from her thoughts due to the loud voice that just yelled at her a moment ago. "Sorry Kagome, I was just really thinking what could have caused this fire," said Serena as she looked down at her fist that she had made due to the evil's presence that she could still feel, but couldn't find. She saw blood coming from her fist and relaxed so her fingernails wouldn't be digging into her palm anymore.

"Serena are you alright? You're bleeding," asked Kagome with worry in her voice as she took Serena's bloody hand into hers to examine it. Kagome pulled out a cloth from her bag to dab Serena's hand. After Kagome had got as much blood off Serena hand they decided to sit and wait at the bottom of the steps for Souta.

Unknown to the two girls were some firemen investigating the remains of the storage. One noticed that there were drops of water falling into a puddle of water from the fire hoses and suddenly the mask emerged from the water at attaches to the man's face!

Souta come running home to find his sister and Serena at the bottom of the steps. For some reason he felt what ever Kagome was going to say wasn't good. Not to mention Serena's hand didn't look good and was all bloody.

"Souta there was a fire in the storage room and grandfather was in it. He was taken to the hospital because he passed out and to see if anything else might be wrong with him. Mom's at the hospital and she'll let us know how he is when she finds out. So everything is going to be okay," said Kagome, but that fact is soon proven wrong when one of the fire trucks starts rampaging through one of the nearby streets. The truck drives off down one of the streets with police cars in hot pursuit. Kagome and Souta look on in shock, but Serena knew that had to be the evil because as soon as the truck left so did the evil presence. Serena also knew that this wouldn't be the last time she felt that presence because she had a hunch that is would return to the shrine later. So much for all evil being vanquished from this world and it had to attack her new family.

The news mentions that night that at the accident scene for some reason the bodies mysteriously disappears. At the wheel of the fire truck the mask's current body starts to rot and upon seeing this, the mask calls out for more shards! At the hospital, Kagome mother calls Kagome at the shrine to fill her and the other two about the grandfather's condition. The mother tells her that he'll be fine but he hasn't regained consciousness and Kagome's mother tells her that her grandfather had spell scrolls found on her grandpa's face and in his mouth. In the background at the hospital they hear the grandfather mumble "Nou-men".

Later that night, Kagome is sitting at her desk and prepares to study with Serena's help since Kagome's mother is spending the night at the hospital, so it's just her, Serena and Souta. Souta with his pillow and blanket that has Buyo attached to it came into the room looking lost and worried.

"Kagome can I sleep in your room tonight because I know something bad happened in the storage room because grandfather had scrolls and sakes on him," pleaded Souta. Serena looked at Souta and saw that be was really terrified and didn't want to sleep alone in a room by himself, and she really couldn't blame him because evil sometimes hide in the dark.

"Sorry Souta, but I have to study for my exams tomorrow and I need to really concentrate," said Kagome as she turned back around to look at her book she was currently studying from.

"Hey, Kagome why not let him stay for now. While you study I'll watch him so he won't disrupt you and when your done him and I can quiz you," said Serena as she saw Souta's face light up with a smile and hugged her telling her "Thank you." Serena felt better knowing that she could at least take care of them if they were together better then apart. She wasn't going to let anything happen to her adoptive family even if it meant revealing and using her scout powers to do so. She wasn't going to lose another family to evil again like she lost her first one on earth.

Kagome had been studying for only a couple of minutes when the window started to shake suddenly. Kagome then remember what she had heard her grandfather say at the hospital in the background. She heard him say "Nou-men," and realizes that something strange is definitely going on, but what, was all a mystery to her. Then the idea hit her that there had to be Shikon shards here in this time; for she suddenly felt them near and approaching at a fast pace.

Elsewhere in the city, the police have a blockade set-up for the renegade truck. Upon arriving at the scene, the mask shots from the truck and goes through police cars and buses. The mass behind the mask absorbs many policemen that was within its slimy reach, and then the mass starts taking an unknown shape. At the hospital, the grandfather wakes up and yells, "Watch out." The next thing the three people know is that a fire truck crashes into the Sunset Shrine.

"What was that?" Yelled Souta who grabbed onto Serena for dear life; Souta also failed to notice that the cat was stuck to his back.

"I don't know what it was Souta, but we had better get out of here," said Serena as she picked up Souta into her arms to carry him. The next thing the three knew was that the glass in Kagome's window shattered making pieces of glass fly everywhere. Serena with Souta in her arms ran to where Kagome was and used her body to shield Kagome and Souta from the glass. Some glass shreds were now embedded into Serena's back but that didn't bother her because she had protected her family from harm for now anyway. Serena and Kagome looked at what had shattered the window to see a blob in the window. Serena now knew where that evil presence was coming from finally and to her it looked something like a nega-monster that had come from a garbage disposal, but yet smelled like rotten meat that had been in the sun to long. "Yuck!" yelled Serena in her mind. "What is that ugly thing," yelled Serena, even though she had a feeling she didn't really want to know.

In front to them the blob was reaching for the Shikon shards on Kagome's desk that were in a small jar. "I don't think so," yelled Kagome lunged forward and grabbed the jar with the shards from the desk and ran to the door with Serena who had Souta and Buyo in her arms was right behind her.

Kagome and Serena were running through the ground of the shrine to get away from the blob. Kagome realized that the demon had a shard in it and it was going to take InuYasha help to bring it down, but the problem was that he was still back in the past. They were in trouble, and Kagome knew it.

"Kagome, your hand. It's bleeding," yelled Souta from Serena's arms. Serena look down at Kagome's hand to see it bleeding, but not too bad, but bad enough to stay open for a while. She tells him not to worry because it's just a glass cut, which she had got from grabbing the jar.

The ladder on the truck moves from the window to above Kagome and Serena. The blob falls from the trucks ladder and lands in front of Kagome and Serena startling them. Kagome finally notices where the shards are which is on the head of the monster. Kagome doesn't know what to do now that a demon had appeared, when she was just telling Serena that she didn't want to get Serena involved in this mess of hers, but she had no chose if they were going to live through this.

"Souta, go back to the well and get Inuyasha because we're going to need his help, and take Serena with you," yelled Kagome to Serena and Souta. She had to protect her best friend/sister from this demon even if it meant putting her life on the line to do so.

"WHAT! I will not leave you Kagome to this beast," said Serena as she pointed to the demon. She set Souta down on the ground. "Listen to me Souta, go find this Inu person that your sister wants you to get ok and stay out of trouble ok. I'm going to stay and help our sister okay kido," said Serena as she placed her hand on Souta's face to wipe away some tears. "Go and be brave, like my little warrior. Run to the well and don't look back okay," With that said Souta ran towards to well and didn't look back like his "older" sister had told him.

The demon saw Souta running and was going to attack him, even though Kagome had the shards it wanted a body as well. It jumped over the two girls and was about to reach Souta when a bright light filled the air and hit the demon in the back. The demon turned to look at the two girls to see the blond hair girl holding out her hand towards it with a determined but most of all a pissed off look on her face.

Before the bright light

Serena and Kagome watched as the demon ignored then and went to following Souta. "No Souta," yelled Kagome as she saw the demon almost reaching her brother. "Over here you demon, I have what you want not him." That still didn't work.

Serena saw only one option and she was going to have to use her power to save Souta even it that meant Kagome knowing her powers, but not all of it. "Hey, you demon. I've got a gift for you and it's going to hurt like hell," yelled Serena who now held out her hand, palm facing the demon with power gathering causing it to glow while putting off a silvery-pink glow. "Moon Scepter Elimination," yelled Serena. The power left her palm putting off a blinding light that filled the air and hitting it's target; the demon suffered quite a bit of damage from her hit.

Kagome couldn't believe her eyes. Serena had just attacked the demon and wounded it severely using magic or something. Kagome looked at the demon again to see it coming towards them and leaving Souta alone. So she wasn't going to ask question now but maybe later if they made it.

Back to after the blast

The demon was mad now and it didn't like this girl that had attacked it and weakened it so easily. She was strong like a demon, but it felt no demons in this time. It headed towards the two girls again that were running from it and headed away from the shrine. The demon was just drooling for more shards to make it more powerful and maybe it would gain a new and powerful body.

Back with Souta

Souta jumps in the well and lands at the bottom of it. Souta starts crying because Kagome's is going to die because he can't get the well to work, but he stops crying because he remembers Serena is with Kagome and also remembers what she told him before he ran off. He starts digging in the well's soil and when he thought it wouldn't work suddenly the well started to glow and Inuyasha appears! Souta fills Inuyasha in on the situation. Inuyasha with Souta on his back starts jumping from rooftop to rooftop in search of Kagome, Serena and the blob. Souta tells Inuyasha that he couldn't go through the well but never gave up hope that he would get to Inuyasha, but Inuyasha tells him that it's a good thing because the past is full of monsters worst then this one. Inuyasha tells Souta that he can tell where Kagome and her friend are by the smell of Kagome's blood. Souta then has a flashback to when Kagome tells him that Inuyasha is violent, selfish and unkind but Souta thinks to himself that Kagome may be wrong about him.

Back with the two girls running from the demon

Kagome and Serena are still running from the blob on the steel beams of a new building that they just happen to have gone too. "Serena, my friend should be here soon to help us out of this mess. It's his specialty," said Kagome as she looked at Serena who was in front of her protecting her from the blob demon that was approaching them for they had hit a dead end of an area with no where else to go except in the blob/demons directions or down which didn't look good either.

"Well, until your friend gets here, I'll protect you the best I can. And I know that your wondering what that was I did before. It was my attack I use as a scout. That was my secret I didn't want you to know because of the danger you could be in knowing who I am," said Serena. She never took her eyes off the demon but she did hear Kagome gasp. "I'm a sailor scout, Kagome; well Sailor Moon to be exact, but you can't tell anyone you understand not even Souta!"

Kagome was amazed that her "sister" was the legendary fighter she looked up to as a when she was younger. But Serena always reminded her of Sailormoon because of how protective of people and her friends she was in battle. "I promise Serena and" . . . " this is the secret I didn't want you to know that I help my friend fight demons and find these shard," holds up the small jar with small jewel shards in it. "It makes demons stronger the more shards they get. And I better tell you this now that my friend Inuyasha, who Souta when to get is a half demon and half human, but he's good. So please don't attack him, okay because he's a friend even if he doesn't act like it. He sometimes can be as gentle as a puppy."

"Okay I promise, but . . .Moon Shield," The blobs shoots a dark substance at them and Serena blocked it by putting her hand out in front of her to create the shield. "I sure hope that your friend hurries it up because I can't keep this shield up for much longer," said Serena. She knew she could but didn't want Kagome to know that secret yet. Serena was about to drop the shield and push Kagome out of the way so she wouldn't get hurt, besides if this demon was smart he might decide to eat her instead of the jewel shards; which he was demanding that Kagome give to him. If that happened the whole universe past, present and future would be in trouble if he got a hold of her and the powers she possessed.

"Kagome . . . I'm really sorry," said Serena, as she was about to drop the shield, when Kaogme yelled causing her to lose her concentration.

"Serena look!" yelled Kagome as she pointed to the sky where a person with white hair was flying through the air with Souta on his back.

Serena didn't even look where Kagome was pointing. Serena using the speed she had gained from running from many monsters in battle pushed Kagome out of the way of the dark substance that was headed towards them. Serena was about to get most of her body out of the way except one of her ankles. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yelled Serena as she fell on her good leg. Serena knew that the crystal could heal the wound it just would take a few days of hell. She fought to stay awake but the pain in her ankle was just too much for now, especially with her only being in civilian form. This Inu-person had to better protect her family until she came around in a few moments or he would suffer her wrath.

"Serena, O' my god. Your ankle!" Said Kagome as she looked at her "sisters" leg and to her pants in the ankle part melted to her skin, which also had been burnt to the muscle and bone; hardly could see the bone but mainly muscle. Kagome was sick seeing this but she had seen worst in the past, it might have been because it was her "sister" must have been way she feel so sick. She bends down to look at her sister face so she rolled Serena over to find her just passed out.

"Kagome, what happened to Serena?" asked Souta as he ran towards his two sisters. Souta had heard his sister scream and he wanted to know what happened to her. When he got close enough Kagome stood in front of him blocking his view.

"Don't look Souta! It's something you don't want to see," said Kagome as she got up to keep him from seeing his older sister in this condition. Souta was pushing to see Serena but Kagome kept him away, who was crying and begging that his sister be okay.

Kagome look up to see Inuyasha using his Iron Reaper Soul Stealer attack on the blob cutting it in to process, which didn't seem to be doing any good. Inuyasha looks in Kagome's direction to inform her that he won't kill the demon until she apologizes to him. "What do you mean?" Shouts Kagome at Inuyasha who had a look of surprise on his face. Then it hit her that he was mad at her still for the whole sit while holding a BIG rock over his head thing. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha about earlier, but my sister needs to get help fast before she dies of blood lose!" yelled Kagome as she pointed to Serena to get her point across.

Inuyasha looks towards to figure that Kagome was pointing at. When he was about to land he saw that same girl using a shield of magic or something to protect herself and Kagome. But she must have not been able to keep it up because he saw he push Kagome out of the way of the blast. In return, getting hit a little by the substance; he would have saved them if he were faster and not so mad at Kagome for what she did earlier to him. Inuyasha decided he would get it over with so they could take care of the sister, or he had a feeling he might be sat if he didn't.

"Alright, but only for your weak sister," said Inuyasha as he got the Tetsusaiga ready to fight.

"He has a shard in his head on the forehead, and Serena is not weak!" yelled Kagome at Inuyasha who wanted to cover his ears due to the volume of her yelling.

The blob tells Inuyasha that he'll pay for cutting his body and also informs the three that it was made from a tree that had a Shikon shard imbedded in it centuries ago. And it's been killing many people just to get a body that wouldn't rot away.

Inuyasha exclaims that he doesn't care how many people its killed because he's gotten a little fat! He charges and punches the center of the mask, which opens up and reveals a mouth. The mouth swallows Inuyasha and traps him within the blob. The mask detaches from the blob that holds Inuyasha in it and flies at the Shikon shards.

See the mask heading towards them Kagome told Souta to run, which he did. Kagome looked behind her at Serena who was still out of it, and when she turned around, she held up her hand to hold off the mask. Kagome throws the shards at Souta and tells him to run away and not to lose them; he does and the mask follows him.

Souta trips and quickly recovers the jar; he remembers that Kagome had told him once that all demons were after the shards. Just like the mask it was after the shards that he is held so he can't throw it away. He gets up and keeps running until he reaches the end of platform. He turns around to see the mask closing in on him. But as the blob was about the eat him he was surrounded in a silver light and disappeared just as, Inuyasha slashed the mask with Tetsusaiga, shattering it making the Shikon shard fall to the floor.

Inuyasha looks around for the Kagome's younger brother to find him by the girl that was unconscious. Kagome was helping her stand by supporting her bad side. The kid looked to be ok but how did he get from being in front to the demon to behind him. Inuyasha just decided to let it pass since it about morning meaning he wouldn't get anything from Kagome because she had sckool or something like that. He walked over to the group.

"You saved us Inuyasha," yelled Souta as he ran towards Inuyasha who in turned picked him up and placed him on his shoulders.

"Feh, who else was going to save you and those two from that demon," said Inuyasha as he puffed up he chest like he was a superhero, but it was enough to make Souta laugh. Inuyasha finally got to look at Kagome's sister, but what shocked him was they didn't every look alike even smell alike. Kagome's scent was of Jasmine and Spices, while the girl scent was of Roses, Vanilla, and Lavender. The girl had a strange hairstyle that he thought he had seen before with silver and gold in her hair and had with blue eyes, with just a hint of silver in them. She wore a tank top and sweat pants which he had found out from Kagome earlier in the week when he had to drag her back to the past after she had gone clothing shopping. He had asked question on the clothes, just he knew not to ask what was in a package that read "Underwear and Bra." When that question left his mouth he regretted because she sat him about 3 times. She looked to be in bad shape. What amazed him was that she seemed to be slowly healing for he could see the wound not as bad as before. He only knew of demons that possess the ability to heal themselves, but she didn't smell like a demon or in her case a female demon at all.

When Serena had finally came awake and saw Kagome throw the jar of jewel shards to someone. And telling them to run for it, well Serena only knew of one other person that she would throw it to since she was here and that demon was inside that dark substance. Souta! O god not him, Serena looked up to see Souta fall with nowhere else to run and stand up. Serena saw that she had to act fast, using her powers again she concentrated on Souta's energy and used hers to surround him making him teleport in front of her just as the Inu-demon killed the blob demon. Kagome turned around to find Serena conscious and helped her stand using her as a crutch.

Serena looked at the demon for the first time. He was a strange one in deed, and this was the one causing Kagome to be gone all the time and failing school. He may have been cute but he just seemed to her like a self centered person to only looked out for himself, well I guess she had to say most of the time. She would have talked to him but she slipped out of consciousness again to welcome the darkness to get away from the pain.

"Serena, Serena, SERENA!" yelled Kagome as she shook trying to get a response out of, but nothing came. Kagome looked at Inuyasha for help, which he did.

Inuyasha walked over to where Kagome and her sister was and picked the older girl into his arms, and who is also almost dropped because of her being heavy. "Feh, what does your sister eat, a whole field of food," protected Inuyasha as he walked down from the building structure towards to temple. The two where behind him and he could feel Kagome giving him a death glare and probably wanted to sit him, but not with her sister in is arms. For once Inuyasha was glad that he was carrying someone Kagome didn't want to hurt, but he would probably get it later.

The three made it back to the temple in time to see the sun starting to rise over the buildings of Tokyo. Kagome screamed saying that she hadn't had time to study for the tests today, but that was ok since she was going to stay home and take care of her sister anyway. The group walked into the house and into Kagome's spare bedroom, Serena's room, when she stayed over. Inuyasha set Serena down on the bed to look around. The room had a peaceful and warming feeling that he hardly felt in his life, and for once he felt safe from harm. When Kagome looked to the wound again it was healing more and didn't look as bad. Kagome was about to say something to Inuyasha when she noticed him looking at a picture across from the bed in a daze, and Serena touched her hand startling her.

"Kagome, thanks you for bring me here and you need to get to school, and NO BUTS I'll be fine until you get home," said Serena as she pushed herself up to look at everyone. Souta was gone and she assumed he when to bed or to get ready for school, which she hoped. Kagome was next to her and wasn't moving from her chair. "Kagome go, I'll be fine. Your friend will take care of me until you get home," said Serena as she touched Kagome's hand and gave it a squeeze to maybe make her point.

"But, Serena what about your leg and . . .," she was cut off by Serena placing her hand on her mouth to silence her.

"Kagome, I have been in far worst shape then you see me now. I'll be fine and we can talk when you get home from acing your test," said Serena as she removed her hand from Kagome's mouth.

"But. . . I. . . didn't . .," was all Kagome got out until she was silenced again.

"I have faith that you will ace all the test today now get moving before I tell your mother to ground you from helping your friend over there," points to Inuyasha who is still looking at the picture. "Which I know you don't want," said Serena, who had a look of mischievousness in her eyes.

Kagome decided to go, but only if Inuyasha stayed to look after her until her mother got home from the hospital. "Inuyasha, you stay here until my mother returns and if I find out that you don't them I'll say S-word until I feel better, got it!" Kagome got not response in words but a growl was good enough for her and she left to get ready for school and fail the test, which she wouldn't thanks to a little help.

The two where finally in the room alone together and he still had his back towards her. "So you like that picture do you?" asked Serena.

"Where did you get it wench?" asked Inuyasha who turned around to look at the occupant in the bed.

"It has been passed down in the family. My great-grandmother bought it because she liked and now I have it. When I was little I would always tell my friends that was my father to scare them. Why do you ask?" asked Serena who had a questionable look on her face.

"Because I've seen it before, in the past when I was little, that's all, and leave me alone I don't want to talk to someone I don't know," said Inuyasha who turned around and sat on the floor because it was going to be a long wait for until someone came to relieve him.

Serena just smiled and looked at the picture she loved. Her grandmother hadn't bought it, she did. When she found it on the web she bought it immediately, for it was painting of her real father in his true form with his best friend, a demon lord. Serena felt a pain in her heart thinking of her father she never got to see again all because of Beryl. She knew her father had killed himself when he found out about his families death because she had felt it in her heart. But something told her that her father was alive somewhere, and she prayed to god that she would find him again because she missed him so much. But right now I just need to get better. And with that Serena feel asleep to awaken to a much better and brighter day, with no monsters or demons to ruin it. She did wonder though about the human shaped crater outside, when she walked Kagome to the well. All she got was a smile and said she had given Inuyasha his reward for a comment he had made earlier that day. What Serena didn't know was she would be seeing the well again sooner then she thought.
