Inuyasha and the Time Keeper

YamiYugiMot0: Well! Another chappie! I really REALLY like this story… It's one of my favorite ones that I have written, and I don't know why! I usually don't think of my stories this way, but this one is going far! HECK! I might even make a sequel! Well, I'm sure you all want to get on with the story, so…

DISCLAIMER: We do not own Inuyasha, only Kay and Brook.

Chapter Two: The Demon Encounter

The next day, Inuyasha and the gang packed up and started to where they thought Naraku would be. They had weakened him a lot, and know the final blow would do the trick! They trudged on for about an hour when Kay got tiered of walking.

"Inuyasha? Would you carry me?" Kay asked in her cutest voice. Inuyasha smiled.

"Sure." He said, and picked up Kay and set her on his shoulders. Shippo smirked, but didn't say a word. They walked on for another few hours, when Inuyasha suddenly stopped.

"Is something wrong?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha set Kay on the ground, and started sniffing furiously. Suddenly, a huge Lizard Demon popped out of the ground, almost causing them all to fall over. Sango took Kay and Brook behind a shrub, as Kagome and Miroku hung back. The lizard demon had giant arms, and a deadly poison dripping from it's tongue. Inuyasha pulled out his sword.

"Give me the jewel shard or you all die!" it said.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome called. "DON'T ITS NOT WORTH IT!" Inuyasha laughed.

"Jewel shards ARE worth it though!" he said, and they began to battle. Inuyasha leaped into the air, and brought his blade down. "WIND SCAR!" he yelled. The wind scar hit the lizard demon directly on the back, but it barely fazed him. "What in the hell?" Inuyasha growled, landing behind the demon. Kagome looked closer.

"This isn't a normal demon!" she called. "Be careful!" Inuyasha growled and rolled his eyes.

"They never can be… can they?" he said, and tried to find a weak point in the creature. Things turned from better to worse. The lizard demon slammed into Inuyasha with his tail, and Inuyasha went flying. He tried to get up… but the lizard demon had used some sort of spray, and he was stuck to the ground.

"INUYASHA!" Kay cried as the lizard demon approached. She had tears in her eyes. Brook was holding her firmly. "NO!" Kay struggled, and got out of her grasp. She ran in frount of Inuyasha, and held up her medallion. "BEAM PROTECTOR!" she cried. She didn't know were that had come from, but it worked! Inuyasha and herself was surrounded in a yellow shield of light. From the shield came a beam of the light, and it shot into the lizard demon's neck, killing it. Inuyasha was stunned.

"How?" was all he could manage to say. The others rushed over, but found they could not get past the barrier of light. Kay let the medallion drop to her chest, and turned to Inuyasha, who was laying there helpless. She scratched at the solidified spray, as the last of the shield wore down. The bonds were cut, and Inuyasha jumped up. "How did you do that?" he asked Kay. She looked shyly at him. Everyone was staring at Kay.

"I… I don't know. I just said the first thing that came to my head and…" Kay left off. Inuyasha sighed.

"Don't ever do that again Kay. You could have gotten killed if that didn't work!" Inuyasha said. Kay pouted.

"But if someone didn't do something, then YOU would die!" she said. Kagome blinked.

"You know, she has a point Inuyasha. But until she has her powers mastered, she shouldn't be fighting." Kagome said.

"I could help her with that." Miroku said, volunteering.

"I can do it!" Inuyasha said. He glanced at Brook, who hadn't said a word. She seemed to be thinking deeply. "What does Brook think about all of this?" Inuyasha asked. Brook sighed.

"I don't like the idea of my little sister fighting, but it would be handy if worse comes to worse. I'd like to know a little something myself if you don't mind." Brook said. "Miroku can teach me, and Inuyasha can teach Kay. I don't care."

"Ok it's settled then." Shippo said. "Miroku teaches Brook, and Inuyasha teaches Kay." Kay blinked. She went over to were the demon had disappeared after it had died. In it's place were two jewel shards. She picked them up.

"Who gets these?" she asked. Inuyasha looked at them hopefully, then sighed.

"You should keep them. You were the one who destroyed it after all." He said. Kay looked at the two in her hands.

"What do I do with it?" she asked.

"They make you stronger." Kagome replied. "Just hold it up to your medallion and it will become stronger." Kay glanced at Brook.

"Do you want one?" she asked. "I don't need both… I don't think." Brook shook her head no.

"I have no use for them, and if I did I wouldn't want one because I wouldn't be using it." Brook answered. Kay held one up to Inuyasha.

"What about you?" she asked. Inuyasha hesitated.

"No… their yours." He said. Kay raised an eyebrow.

"But you helped defeat the thing… you deserve one!" she said, and slipped one of the shards into Inuyasha's pocket. (A/N: does he even HAVE pockets?)

"Thanks Kay." Inuyasha said. At the same time, Inuyasha held the shard to his Tetsiga and Kay held her's to her medallion. The melded into one, sparked a bit, then went back to normal. They then continued on their journey.
