:In the Last Chapter:

He closed it and resealed it. Sugashi smiled evilly as he, himself, went to locate the inuyoukai in question.

Dragon Fang shot itself into Mitsuko's fighting hand. She looked at it, disgusted. How could her father do this to her? She looked over at Sugashi and saw the plain, downright fury in his black eyes. She gulped.

"MITSUKO! YOU GET OUT OF MY KINGDOM THIS INSTANT!" Sugashi roared. Everyone around him shrunk down. Mitsuko nodded in silence and left the castle grounds. Sugashi smirked and chuckled as she did and she heard it. 'He was planning this... that son of a bitch! And you... you stupid ass sword! You did this...' Mitsuko thought viciously. She jumped into the high tree tops and jumped up and away from the Lord of the Eastern Lands and his kingdom.

"OKAY! BOTH OF YOU! SHUT UP NOW!" Miroku shouted out. Both Kagome and Inuyasha stopped and looked at him.

"What is it Miroku?"

"Yeah! What do you want houshi?"

"I hear something..."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Is that the real, genuine Dragon Fang?"

"Yeah... why? Have you heard of it?"

"Yeah! It's legendary!"

"Really? I just thought it was a plain old katana. Um... can you help me learn to control it?"

"No... absolutely not!" Inuyasha growled out. Mitsuko looked down. Kagome glared at Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha. She would like our help. I think that we should lend it to her."

"No."

"Inuyasha... I said yes. Now, you can agree or disagree, but that will not change the fact that we are helping her."

"Wench, I swear..."

"INUYASHA... I SAID... Oh hell... SIT INUYASHA!" As the rosary around his neck pulsed, Inuyasha crashed to the ground. Kagome smirked.

"Okay, Mitsuko. We will help you."

This Time on: Dragon Fang: Destiny Rising:

Chapter Two: A New Life and a Newfound Friendship

"Shit! I'm sorry."

"God damn it! Mitsuko! I told you to watch where you were swinging that thing." Inuyasha growled out as he rubbed the bruise on his head. Mitsuko blushed. She had tried to get Inuyasha to like here, but she kept messing it up.

"Inuyasha, be nice. She's trying." Kagome muttered.

"I don't care. That the millionth time she's hit me! She needs to watch it." Inuyasha said. Mitsuko looked at his back as he turned to walk away. She looked a little upset and scared.

"It's all right. He'll warm up. It's only been two weeks. Just wait. It took me about three months."

"Uh..."

"Okay... bad example. But don't worry. Now, let's stop the sword practice for a while and practice your light magic and mind reading shall we?" Kagome asked reassuringly.

"All right Kagome," Mitsuko said as she smiled. She and Kagome walked away.

"Okay... now, I'm going to shoot an arrow at you. Deflect it with a jolt of light."

"Okay."

Kagome charged up her arrow until it flared pink with her miko's energy. She shot and it soared towards Mitsuko. Mitsuko concentrated as she held up her hand and formed a ball of pure energy. She aimed it at the arrow. It worked.

The arrow hit the ball of light and it veered off course. It hit a tree and became lodged. Kagome smiled at the improvement.

"Good job, Mitsuko! That's the best yet. You should definitely be ready for anything that any demon throws at you!" Kagome shouted.

"Thank you Kagome." Mitsuko replied, grinning. 'But is that really what she thinks?'

Mitsuko concentrated on her thoughts. She finally got through the barrier of Kagome's mind.

'Man, Mitsuko is getting so much better. I hope that Inuyasha starts to warm up. It won't be good if we fight Naraku without everyone being on the same level of loyalty. I'll talk to him I guess.'

That was good. Kagome really did think highly of her. She finally had a friend in this world. Even if it's one of the future.

Mitsuko smiled back at Kagome with glistening eyes. She walked back up to the campsite and sat down. Miroku and Sango were having another fight because Miroku tried to touch Sango's butt, yet again.

"HENTAI!" was all that Mitsuko could hear as she walked up. A second later, though, Miroku was lying on the ground with a red hand print on his face.

"Miroku? Are you all right? Is it really worth all of that?" Mitsuko asked patiently. She knew that Miroku liked Sango, she had read it in his mind, but he didn't explain it very well. He was just perverted. That didn't help his and Mitsuko's relationship either. Miroku had even tried to grope her.

Miroku smiled at Mitsuko as he got up. "If you're asking if it was worth the pain... then hell yes. It was." Mitsuko rolled her eyes at the houshi. It was then that Inuyasha walked out of the forest and sat down at the base of a nearby tree.

He constantly glared at Mitsuko. She was sick of it. She didn't want to read his mind, but this was getting ridiculous. Soon she would have no choice. The only two people whom she didn't read their minds were Sango, because she asked her not to, and Inuyasha, because he would probably kill her if she did. Miroku, Kagome, and Shippo all allowed her to.

Inuyasha kept glaring at her with annoyed eyes. Mitsuko glared right back in hopes of him actually saying something instead of staring, but nothing happened. She sighed and gave up. Kagome sighed as well. "Mitsuko... go talk to him. If that doesn't work then I'll s-i-t him until his head falls off. Because I'm getting sick of his childish behavior."

"Yeah? Well, me too. Thanks Kagome." Mitsuko muttered. She stood up and walked over to where Inuyasha was crouched.

"Inuyasha..."

"What?"

"Inuyasha... what is your problem? I've been nothing but nice to you. And all you have to show for it is acting like a son of a bitch hanyou? I try and try to treat you like an equal. All I ask is to be treated the same way." Mitsuko replied impatiently. Inuyasha scowled and looked up at her with disgust in his eyes.

"A son of a bitch hanyou huh? Treat me like an equal huh? Well, I don't need to be treated like an equal by someone inferior to me. Me, treat you like an equal? Maybe. But until you show some backbone and sword skills, I refuse to. So, back off youkai, unless you want to be ripped out of that pathetic excuse for armor." Inuyasha growled out, standing and leaping into the tree. Mitsuko was furious.

"INUYASHA! GET YOUR HALF-BREED ASS BACK HERE NOW!" she screamed out. Her anger, however, fueled both her light powers and the Dragon Fang. Her golden red eyes lit up and turned into a bright white. The Dragon Fang's black and red aura surrounded both itself and Mitsuko. Everyone turned to see the sword and a bolt of light shoot through the trees and a small cry as Inuyasha tripped and fell to the ground.

Inuyasha stood up. He was furious and the cut on his cheek did nothing to help. He stormed back to the meadow where Mitsuko stood waiting, as furious as he was. Dragon Fang shot itself back into her hand and she stood in a battle stance, her eyes still glowing.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A HALF-BREED! I WILL KILL YOU AND EVERY OTHER YOUKAI WHO DARES CALL ME THAT!" Inuyasha cried out angrily. Kagome gasped as he ripped out the Tetsusaiga, which automatically transformed. Sango and Miroku stood there speechless as Shippo stared wide-eyed.

Kagome was about to sit Inuyasha when Mitsuko automatically yelled out.

"Do it and I swear that things will not go so well for you afterwards! Let me handle this!"

Inuyasha smirked evilly. He got into his fighting position and shot towards Mitsuko at blinding speed. Mitsuko was instantly punched in the face and flew about six feet back. She stood back up and guarded as another punch was aimed for her chest. She slid back a little, but held up her stance.

"Fight back youkai."

"Inuyasha, fine... I WILL!"

Mitsuko shot a bolt of light out and it temporarily blinded him. But, that was all that Mitsuko really needed. She brought Dragon Fang up and willed it to slice down on Inuyasha's arm. It worked. A large wound was now sliced down the side of Inuyasha's arm.

Inuyasha gripped his arm and grimaced. "DAMN IT!" He glared up at Mitsuko's angry face. This was a flesh wound, it wouldn't stop him from getting a point across. No, he wasn't going to kill her, but he was going to prove something.

Inuyasha stood up, clasping his arm. He held the Tetsusaiga at the ready as Mitsuko held Dragon Fang. He looked for a tear in the wind. He found it.

"KAZE NO KIZU!" he yelled. A rushed of air, a blinding light, and Mitsuko was down on the ground, barely conscious. She blinked up at Inuyasha.

Before she went blank, Mitsuko muttered out a final light attack.

"Seiitsu no Hinote." With that a blinding flash of light lit up the scene and Inuyasha fell as tiny invisible blades of pure white fire cut into his skin. Inuyasha and Mitsuko both blanked out from that point.

The Next Day

"Ah... my head. What happened. Where's Inuyasha? Is he all right?" Mitsuko asked groggily. Sango and Miroku looked at each other. Mitsuko got nervous. Did she kill him?

"Well, you were both hurt fairly badly. But, you should be all right soon."

"What about Inuyasha? How is Inuyasha?"

"He's knocked out. But, he's all right." Miroku replied reassuringly. Mitsuko let out a painful sigh of relief. She had a sharp pain in her head, neck, and chest. She also had a broken arm, but that was healing already.

She made to stand up and no one stopped her.

"Where is he?"

"In Kagome's tent."

"Thank you so much Sango, Miroku." Mitsuko replied happily, but painfully.

She limped out to the next tent where Kagome, Shippo, and Inuyasha were.

"Kagome?" Mitsuko muttered quietly.

"Oh. Mitsuko. How are you feeling?" Kagome asked. Shippo nodded. Mitsuko sighed a little and sat down.

"Oh, I'm a little sore. How's Inuyasha?"

"I'm good... I guess." came a muffled voice on the bed. Inuyasha had awoken. Mitsuko looked over at him with bright eyes.

"Look, Inuyasha, I'm really sorry about yesterday."

"Whatever. It's done. So... Mitsuko... What was... that move... you used on me?" Inuyasha coughed out. He was bandaged up a lot, more so than Mitsuko.

"Oh, the Purity Fire? It's just a move that I've been practicing for a while. But enough of that... you should get some rest."

"Have you read my mind Mitsuko?"

"No... I have not Inuyasha, why?"

"How did you know that I hated the half-breed remark?"

"Every hanyou does. Right?" Mitsuko said, blushing.

"No not every hanyou. I do because I've grown up getting called that. I'm sick of it. So I snap." Inuyasha replied, sitting up slightly. Kagome rushed to his side and helped his head up. Mitsuko looked sheepish.

"Well, I'm sorry. It's just that you were being a jackass and it pissed me off."

"Feh. Whatever. You proved yourself to me and that's that. You are my equal." Inuyasha muttered, lying back down again because he got dizzy. Mitsuko smiled and laughed inwardly at the change of attitude in Inuyasha.

In truth, Mitsuko had just tried to get Inuyasha to attack her, so her plan worked. She finally had a true equal in this life, in the world.
