Chapter One: The Unnerving Warning

Kaiaya walked down the street moodily. It was raining and the quarter demon girl was soaked. But she didn't mind. She splashed through puddles, not bothering it avoid them. The sky was dark and the street was lit by a dim streetlight and nothing else. It was a new moon. Kai realized this is was the day her father feared the most. A few weeks ago she had experienced the same thing. The joys of being less than full demon, she thought.

Kai's hoodie covered her school uniform, a white shirt and a purple short skirt. Her army boots were worn and soaked. Her violet black hair with silver highlights was a wet curtain that draped halfway down her back. Her bangs parted in the middle but still managed to hang in her dark honey eyes. She sported a small white bandage on her right cheek from a reccent accident in the Fedual era.

It felt strange and always meanless for Kai to be in the modern era. For the past few weeks her life was so absorbed in the Feudal era, finding Naraku. She had to abandon her life in the time she was born in, to finish what she had started. It gave her a sick feeling when she returned. She couldn't explain it, but being here no longer gave her ease. Kai constantly thought of what could happen in her friends in the past, making enjoying herself near impossible.

Today was her fifteenth birthday, but unlike her other birthdays, there will be no celebration. They needed to kill Naraku before they could party. Shippo had said that everyone was taking this too seriously. But Inuyasha had bonked him on the head. Kai didn't want to admit being upset about having no party. As much as she wanted to kill Naraku, she did want to take advantage of the time to invite some friends over and have some fun. But her modern friends distanced themselves from her for some unknown reason, making going back more pointless.

Kai had been walking back from one of her 'former' friend's houses. Mika had explained that her friends didn't want Kai to get in more trouble by being with them (remember the Ryo Tanaka incident?) Kai had shrugged it over and said that they were probably right and disappeared into the night. There was something they weren't mentioning to her. A little lie at showed in every word they said. Kai began to wonder what rumors were going around the school. She rarely went nowadays. All of her teachers had called the house asking for her excuses. Without being able to say that she was sick like her mother had used, Kai was 'visiting her father.' It wasn't entirely a lie, but it was nowhere near the full truth.

Kai was absorbed in her thoughts she didn't notice the shadow that wasn't her own following her. If she turned her head to the left she would have seen it but she continued unaware. It stalked closer and she saw the flicker of motion. By instinct her right hand snapped to her right hip to draw the sword that wasn't there. She felt a bit embrassed for forgetting and searched the dark for the shadow stalker.

"Who is there?" Kai demanded. She saw nothing but her nose told her something was there. A human.

"AHH!" a small voice screamed. Kai felt little a hundred needles were driven into her ears. She despised high-pitched voices. The person following her was a little girl, about six years old.

"Calm down, " Kai said gently. The girl stopped screaming abruptly. Her hazel eyes widened as her round face paled. "What?" Kai asked alarmed. She didn't want to scare the child. Absent-mindedly her left hand drifted to the purple bandana she hid her dog ears under. It was still there. So what was with the girl?

"You must return quickly," she said, in a trance. Her voice was no longer the high-pitched noise it was a minute ago; it was the voice of a wise woman. Kai knew that voice all too well. It was Midoriko speaking to her through a modern girl. "You must return quickly." She repeated.

"Why Midoriko?" Kai asked slightly irrate. The corner of the girl's mouth curled into a half-grin. She blinked and the trance was ended. The little girl shook her head and looked around apparently lost.

"Are you lost?" Kai asked sweetly, still a little unnerved about the great priestess's appearance. The girl was shivering in fear. Kai dropped to her knees ignoring the puddle that splashed her skirt. Looking the girl in the eye she repeated her question. She nodded.

"MIA!" a woman's voice called. A middle-aged woman appeared wearing a red cocktail dress that was runined in the rain. "Who are you?" She demanded of Kai. The young woman tried not to take offense to the mother's concern for her child.

"My name's Kaiaya," She said. "She," gesturing to the kid. "was lost when I found her."

The woman seemed to take it in and nodded. "Thank you Kaiaya." She said politely, but Kai could see it was a disguise. "C'mon Mia let's go home."

"No Mama!" Mia cried and grabbbed Kai's right leg with death grip. The mother sighed. Resettling the strap of her purse, she reached out a hand to her daughter.

"If you come I will give you some ice cream," she said cheerfully. Mia heistanted and jumped off Kai's thigh. Mia followed her mother away.

"Buh-bye, Kai!" Mia called over her shoulder. Kai froze. She had never said her name was Kai. She had given the woman and the girl her full birth name. She stood away her alarm and continued to walk home at a quicker pace. If Midoriko had to warn her, something terrible must have happened.

Kai broke into a run, desparate to get home.

Mia turned her head in time to see the teenager run away. Midoriko sighed and left the girl's body. With her soul in the Shikon Jewel she couldn't inhabit a human body for long. But as a spirit she knows no boundary of time or space. When the Jewel was sealed the battle inside had ceased, but since Kai used it slowly the demons began to awaken. Soon the Jewel could be used again. And it was in Naraku's hands...

"You must return quickly."

Pacing back and forth, a young man with a sinister mind plotted. He had a slight swagger and his posture screamed of aggroance. His black cloak over his dark red kimono was whipping around dramatically when he turned sharply on his heel. His pale face creased with a constant expression of hate and general negative thoughts. His almost slit-like red eyes darted back and forth. Crushed in his right hand was a small pink stone. The Shikon Jewel.

He hated how it mocked him. How it would simply stare back at him indifferently when he attempted to use it. He was postive the souls trapped inside had been laughing at his expense. The more he thought about it he grew impatient. Although he refused to believe it, he needed the power of the jewel. After all almost fifteen years ago he was slain by Inuyasha and his crew, near nonexistance a piece of him lived on, but never strong enough to be his own. One day he plagued a mortal man who had a deep desire for reveange and power. Katsuo wasn't an evil man but his thoughts were drifting toward it. Taking advantage of this Naraku had made a deal with him. In exchange for demonic power, Katsuo would in turn aid Naraku in his own reveange. But it didn't turn out as planned.

Naraku growled as he thought of the face of the almost mortal girl that caused Katsuo to stray from his orginal intentions. Ironically, she was the daughter of his greatest enemy Inuyasha and his priestess Kagome. Both werethe main reason he relied on the damned Katsuo for strength. But now his wrath was directed to the quarter-demon named Kai.

Weeks ago they had a confrontation and Kai had stolen the Jewel and was able to use it despite the seal her mother wished upon it. The young woman not only used it to protect her but somehow it imbued her the powers of a priestess, unless she was born with them? Naraku was confused how the girl managed to summon enough power to kill his tentacles and serevely wound him. But he escaped and selfishly claimed victory.

Since the Jewel was worthless to him, Naraku had been relying on absorbing other demons to form his body. Unfornately, no matter how much he absorbed human blood still dominated. He was a quarter-demon, because of being tied to Katsuo, and only the Jewel could change that...

Despite Naraku's strong will, Katsuo couldn't be completely erased for his conscience like Onigumo was. So he shared his memories and some of his emotions. In their last battle Katsuo even gained control long enough to spare Kai's life. Naraku had never be able to forgive Katsuo for it, given that Hell would freeze over before he would be able to forgive anyone. It was still saying something.

Kai. Naraku hated thinking about the half-demon Inuyasha's daughter. In the back of his mind he heard Katsuo constantly remark on her beauty. He thought about her slim figure, her enticing curves, her enchanting dark golden eyes, and her air of grace. Naraku wanted to kill her, but Katsuo had other ideas. The poor man was conflicted. Both had desires that could not be easily broken.

Naraku touched a hand to his scarred cheek. He had three lines equally apart that were crossed with another set of three. They were clawmarks from where Kai had hit him. Surprisely that was the only injury that hadn't healed. He became to feel that he will bear the scar forever. The notion sickened him. Kai could not get away with marking his face. Katsuo silently laughed at Naraku, he was getting puffed up at the stupidest things.

Naraku had hope for the Shikon Jewel. Seeing Kai capable of wielding the jewel not only fueled his hatred but his desire to use it. If that damned girl could use it why couldn't he. He knew the answer wasn't something he wanted to hear, so he became to scheme. His plan would have Inuyasha begging on his knees and Kai...buried six feet under the cold earth.

His plan would catch them off guard...

Ok. First chapter done. Yay for me! Thanks Shanon for the cookies by the way. The transition between the stories wasn't as smooth as I envisioned it but it works.
