This is my second chapter. Hope you like it.

Ayumi had woken up when she heard her door closed. She listened as her mom quietly made her way down the hall and into the master bedroom where she slept. Ayumi wanted to look around the well some more, but knew she couldn't in the day. She opened her window quietly and climbed out. Her room was on the second floor, but she had fallen out of her window once and found that she could handle the impact. She didn't know why at the time, but she smiled when she thought about the demon. "Thanks Dad," she whispered as she sprinted off to the well. She still wanted to make it to her tests this week, but finding out just what lies her mom has been feeding her, needed to be solved.

She made it to the well and started looking at it. There weren't any weird symbols or anything. She sat on the edge and yawned. There wasn't anything here. She turned and looked down into the well, her elbows resting on the rough, cold stone. "If there is a way to disappear without leaving this place, the only way would be to hide in the well," she whispered. She suddenly sneezed and her echo resounded down the well. "There's only one way to figure it out," she told herself as she swallowed her fear down and jumped into the hole.

She bit her fist to keep from screaming because she really didn't want to wake the neighborhood. She fell into the well even farther and soon, she blacked out. She woke up to the sound nature and took awhile to figure out just where she was. She was still in the well and she started to climb out. After quite some time, she made it out. She dusted the dirt off of her and looked around. This wasn't the shrine. This was… she thought back to the conversation her mom had had, Feudal Japan. She looked around nervously and started walking toward the edge of the well. It really wasn't that deep, and it still looked like an ordinary well.

Ayumi looked around again. She was determined to figure out just who she was. A demon, like her dad, or a human, like her mom, then she wondered, was her mom really a human? Ayumi thought about it, there really wasn't anything to prove that she was a demon. So Ayumi just shrugged and pushed that thought back, of course her mom was human, how else would she be?

She saw some smoke and figured that to be a fire. Maybe a village was over there. She walked quietly over to where the smoke had come from, but before she could see the village, a loud blast exploded from behind her. She looked back and saw a boomerang thrown by a woman wearing black, skin tight outfit with red armor. She was riding a giant monster. Ayumi watched in amazement as the woman threw her boomerang at a giant centipede.

The centipede dodged the boomerang and then a monk wearing a bluish-back robe quickly unstrung the beads from his hand and open up a black vortex. The centipede roared as Ayumi grabbed a branch to hang on to so she wouldn't get pulled inside. She screamed as the branch broke and she was flying through the air. The monk quickly closed his hand and caught Ayumi.

The centipede was furious and started to lunge its mouth towards the monk. Ayumi looked up and screamed again when she saw it coming. Suddenly, her father jumped from a tree and pulled out a huge sword. He jumped on top of the giant centipede and shoved his skull straight into its head. He jumped off the monster when it started to fall and landed near the monk. He put his sword away and the monk set Ayumi down. Ayumi couldn't look at her father. She looked towards the ground, ready for punishment.

"What were you thinking?" Inuyasha yelled at her. "You could've been killed!"

"I'm sorry, but the branch broke and…" Ayumi tried to swallow down the lump that had formed in her throat.

"Inuyasha, give the poor kid a break would you!" the woman said as she walked over.

"Next time you come here, you stay with me got it?" Inuyasha told Ayumi.

"I'll go-" Ayumi suddenly realized that her father said 'next time.' Did he know that she had run away?

"Inuyasha, do you know her?" the monk asked.

"This is her, Miroku. I told you about her." Inuyasha answered.

"You mean," Miroku hesitated, "You mean this is the girl you were talking about?"

"Wow, I can really see Kagome in her, but not you," Sango replied.

"You got a problem with that?" Inuyasha threatened.

Ayumi smiled at her father threatening the woman because she had made fun of him.

"Yeah, I think Sango is right. She really does look like Kagome, but not much of you." The monk, Miroku smiled.

Ayumi accidentally let a giggle slip and Inuyasha had heard. He turned to her smiling, but she immediately looked down, thinking she was still in trouble. Inuyasha went down on his knees to look at Ayumi in the face, she was a lot like Kagome, but she had his eyes. His brown eyes from when he was a human.

"What are you looking at?" Ayumi asked. She looked at his face as he studied hers. She noticed his eyes were golden (which was really weird to her).

"Just seeing if you really did look like your mother," Inuyasha said as he stood up. Inuyasha kept watching her as he stood, her eyes flashed golden in the sun.

"So?" Miroku asked.

"So what?" Inuyasha growled as his temper returned.

"So we need to get moving if we are to find Naraku." Miroku responded.

"Right, then let's get going." Inuyasha turned towards Ayumi and she bit her lower lip looking around. She would have to ride the monster thing, or walk.

Inuyasha suddenly picked her up and put her onto his back. "Just hang on tight and you'll be fine." He whispered as the monster thing took off and Inuyasha jumped into the air.

Ayumi held on to him tighter after she looked down from the dizzying heights of where she was at. Inuyasha must have noticed and he reached behind him and held her in place. Ayumi soon got used to his movements and was able to find her voice.

"Who is Naraku?" she asked.

"It's a long story, but we've got a long way to go. It all started when I was with another woman named Kikyo. Naraku had taken the form of me when he stole something very precious to her away. Then, she had shot an arrow at me and sealed me to a tree for fifty years. I started searching for Naraku once I had found out it was him, and with the help of you mother, we found him. We had fought him, but it didn't work. He escaped. We found him some more times and every time we fought, he grew stronger. One time he was able to shed his human heart and change into a form of a baby. We had taken out Naraku, but somehow that baby was able to remake Naraku's body. He found a way to revive Naraku after we had killed him. Now he's stronger than ever and he has half of the Shikon Jewel shards and he's using them to regain all of his power. We have most of the other half, but there is still some missing. He wants to use the full Shikon Jewel to make him into a full demon, so he can kill everything. It's been five years since we last saw Naraku, but we know he is out here somewhere."

When Inuyasha looked back, she saw that Ayumi was asleep on his back. Miroku saw Inuyasha smiling at Ayumi and looked at Sango who saw it too. They looked at each other for a while before they started laughing.

"Sango, I didn't ever picture that would happen." Miroku laughed.

"Neither did I!" Sango laughed harder.

"What are you to laughing at?" Inuyasha growled as he came up to them.

"Nothing!" Sango laughed. Inuyasha's eyes narrowed.

"You, a father, nice!" Miroku confessed through laughing harder.

"What's wrong with that?" Inuyasha asked reaching for his blade.

Before either of them could respond a scream was heard and Inuyasha picked up the scent of a demon. This one smelled of Naraku. They rushed over there and landed near a forest where the scream had come from. Inuyasha looked at Miroku then told Sango to watch out for Ayumi. He set her down on Kirara's back and ran into the forest. Miroku followed him and Sango jumped onto Kirara. She wasn't going to miss this fight, Kohaku might be there. He was still under Naraku's spell and Sango was determined to get her brother back. Ayumi shifted in her sleep and felt wind flying about her. She suddenly sat up and grabbed the nearest thing to her, Sango. Sango jumped at the surprise, but looked back to see Ayumi holding onto her tightly.

"Where are we?" Ayumi asked.

"Inuyasha smelled one of Naraku's demons. We're here to check it out." Sango answered. She looked down at the battle field, watching as Inuyasha and Miroku take on a ferocious, giant bird.

"I've got to go help them, you'll be safe on Kirara." Sango jumped off Kirara and land smoothly on the ground. She threw her boomerang at the bird and hit its wing, but the wing somehow reattached itself back on to the body.

"Okay," Ayumi said in a quivering voice as Kirara took off and she didn't have anything to hold on to. She fell forward and wrapped her arms around Kirara's neck. She watched as the bird breathed fire down on the spot her dad was. He jumped out of the way in time. The bird breathed fire again, but this time the bird missed Inuyasha completely.

Except it wasn't shooting at Inuyasha, it was shooting at her. Ayumi screamed and put up her arms in front of her face on instinct. She heard Inuyasha yell to her, but the flames engulfed her and Kirara. Ayumi closed her eyes from the pain.

Inuyasha jumped to go get her, but got pulled down by Miroku. Before he could tear Miroku to pieces he saw what Miroku was seeing. The flames had completely surrounded Ayumi for only a few seconds before it gathered into a ball in front of her and shot straight at the bird. The fire had nearly tripled in power as the flaming ball shot through the bird. The bird fell to the side with a hole going straight through its neck.

Kirara lowered herself to the ground and let the shaking Ayumi be picked up by her dad. She was crying and shaking while Inuyasha held her close. Soon, Ayumi fell asleep in his arms. He looked at Sango. It wasn't really her fault though, they really did need her help in the battle (although he won't admit it), but he had no one else to blame. He shifted Ayumi to his back and Sango and Miroku got onto Kirara. The sent that came off the bird before it was smoldered came from mountain flowers. He told Sango and Miroku, they both agreed they would search the mountains with him later. They were tired too and they needed their rest. Sango suggested a village nearby and they followed her directions.

The town was quiet, almost peaceful. Inuyasha didn't like it, but he didn't tell anyone else. They went into the inn and slept. Ayumi was the first to wake up. She opened her eyes and very quietly looked around. They were all sleeping in the same room on bed rolls. Except for Inuyasha who slept sitting. She quietly walked over to Inuyasha and leaned against him.

Inuyasha woke, but he didn't move seeing Ayumi falling back sleep while leaning on him. He smiled and closed his eyes. As he closed his eyes a sudden scream came from outside. Inuyasha was awake and alert. Ayumi was too. She grabbed Inuyasha's arm and Inuyasha looked at her, "You stay here. I don't want you getting hurt."

Ayumi nodded and moved away from her dad as he ran outside. She looked out the window and saw a guy hiding under what looked like a polar bear skin, but the face was different. Inuyasha called out his name, "Naraku," and ran to fight him. Naraku dodged his attacks easily and Inuyasha kept swinging. Ayumi watched as the blade missed every time by only an inch. Inuyasha swung his blade then moved with a surprise attack. It still missed.

Naraku talked calmly through all of this, "Inuyasha, why do you waste your energy so soon. And here I was hoping for a good challenge. Sango and Miroku were just watching like Ayumi, not sure what to do.

"How the hell are you still alive?" Inuyasha gasped between every swing.

Ayumi noticed how much her dad was tiring. She wanted to go help him, wanted him to win. She watched the blade miss and how her dad was tiring. When Inuyasha finally strike a blow, cutting off half of Naraku's arm, the arm started moving and Naraku grew a new one. The arm was moving to where Inuyasha couldn't see it. Ayumi started running out to the fight and grabbed at the arm. It turned its long, sharp nails at her, but she wouldn't let it hurt her dad.

It went to strike her, but she dropped it. She stomped on it, hard. She remembered the feeling of a brake when she accidentally broke a classmates arm when she was younger. She finally felt it crack. The arm became dead, but Naraku wasn't. He saw how she, a mere girl, had run out and saved Inuyasha. A mere girl destroyed his power, by just breaking the bone. Inuyasha was already no match for him, but Naraku could see the power in the girl. It was more than Inuyasha's already and it was still just awakening.

Inuyasha struck Naraku when he had just decided what he will do with the girl. Inuyasha was breathing heavily, but wasn't going to show it. He placed his sword back into its sheath and walked over to Ayumi. She was tired too, but the arm had dissolved into the ground and she didn't have to worry about it.

"I thought I told you to stay inside," Inuyasha remarked as he hid his heavy breathing.

"The arm you cut off, it came back to life. It was about to strike so I changed its target," Ayumi said through heavy breathing.

"It's true. I wouldn't have noticed the arm until Ayumi had run after it." Miroku ran over.

"Yeah, it truly was remarkable, such a little child taking on the arm. How did you destroy it?" Sango asked.

"Umm… well… I just broke the bone."

Ayumi smiled and let the adults talk as she pretended to understand. She heard something about the smell of mountain flowers. She seemed to be having a hard time standing up and blacked out while they were talking.

"Who is she? Where did she come from? I want to know about that power I saw in her. Well?" asked Naraku.

"She is Inuyasha's daughter. Her name is Ayumi. She stayed with Kagome while she grew," said a little girl.

"How was she able to destroy my arm? She should only be one-fourth demon." Naraku demanded.

"I do not know sir."

"Ayumi? Ayumi! Are you okay?" Inuyasha hung on to her so she wouldn't fall again.

Ayumi was still groggy from her – was it just a dream? She finally realized all the people around her. Some of the villagers had even come to see what had happened. Inuyasha was holding her tightly and Sango and Miroku were looking on in concern.

"Ayumi? Are you hurt?" Inuyasha's voiced seemed deeply concerned. Somehow, she had heard that same voice from somewhere.

"No, I'm fine. Really." Ayumi stood up, but then suddenly sat back down because of all the blood rushing to her head.

"Are you sure?" Inuyasha asked.

"I'm sure, I just stood up too fast." Ayumi answered as she grabbed her swimming head.

Inuyasha looked deep into her eyes and saw them flash gold again. He made up his mind and thought Kagome was right, Ayumi isn't old enough to be in this era yet. He was going to take her home. He lifted her to his back and told the others he was taking her home. She fell asleep almost right away and didn't notice where she was being taken. She woke a few hours later on a bed roll in some sort of house. A really old lady walked up to her and was holding a towel.

Ayumi screamed at the scary, wrinkled, old face of a woman coming closer and closer. Inuyasha burst into the room and Ayumi ran to him.

"What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yes dear, what's wrong? I was just going to put this towel on your head. You seemed to have a mild fever when you first arrived." The old lady asked.

"You –" Ayumi took a breath, "You scared me."

"Is that all? I wouldn't trust that old bat if I were you either." Inuyasha smiled.

"I heard that!" the old lady started coming closer. "Come here girl, before any of your father rubs off on you."

Ayumi giggled until she heard a voice that she feared the most.

"Inuyasha! If I don't see my daughter right this minute I swear I'm going to – " Kagome screamed as she tore through the building. " Ayumi you are in so much trouble when I get to you!"

Ayumi wanted to run, but knew she couldn't she could only wait and take the punishment from a fuming mother. She looked down at her shoes and just stood there. Kagome burst into the room, "Ayumi! Come here right now!" Ayumi listened and followed her mother's orders. Kagome grabbed her and looked at Inuyasha furiously. "How dare you bring her here! She could've been killed! She will not come here again and that is final!"

Kagome dragged Ayumi out of the building and to the well. Ayumi saw the well and realized just how much she liked it better here. She felt Kagome's hand on her back, but she didn't want to go home. Ayumi suddenly tore away from Kagome and ignored her orders to come back. She ran into the woods and didn't stop. She was crying, hating herself for disobeying, but she didn't want to leave just yet. She stopped running to catch her breath on a fallen tree and cried.

"Why a pretty lady like you shouldn't be crying," a man said.

Ayumi screamed looked around, a man wearing a lot of brown furs and some chest armor was standing right next her on the fallen tree. She saw he wasn't out to get her so she calmed down. "I just ran away so don't bug me!"

"Ran is a for sure thing! Do you know where you are?"

Ayumi shook her head.

"Well, from what I saw, you ran about forty miles in eight minutes."

Ayumi looked at the man to see that he was kidding, but he wasn't. His eyes were firm as if he had never seen anyone run that fast. She suddenly felt her face pale. "Forty miles!" Ayumi whispered.

"Around there, maybe a little more."

"A little more! How am I going to get home now?"

"Well, if you like, I could give you one. Of course, you'll have to tell me your name and where you're headed," the man told her.

"Why my name?" Ayumi asked.

"So I know who to flirt with."

Ayumi giggled and blushed, "My name is Ayumi, what's yours?"

"I'm Koga, the wolf-demon."

Suddenly another girl walks up and grabs Koga on the arm, "Don't you ever desert me like that! And who is she?"

"I'm Ayumi."

"Well Ayumi, I'm sorry to inform you that he is taken." The girl grabbed him by the arm and was about to walk away before Ayumi called her to wait.

"I don't know where I am, can you tell me? Koga says I ran forty miles, but I don't remember which way I came from."

"Forty miles? Do you have jewel shards in your legs?"

"No, but I would like to get back to my dad."

"Well who's your father then?"

"Inuyasha."

"That mutt is your father!" Koga cried. "I can't believe he has a daughter! Who's your mom?" Koga laughed.

"Kagome."

"That mutt and Kagome! I'm going to tear that mutt to pieces!"

"Shut up, Koga!" the woman yelled. "Inuyasha, he could be half way across the country by now. I'm sorry, but if you would like, you could stay at the den until Inuyasha comes."

"Thanks, I would like that," Ayumi smiled.

"Here grab my hand and I'll take you there."

Ayumi grabbed the woman's hand and suddenly they were racing through forests and over plains, Ayumi could barely tell how far they had traveled when she started to grow tired. The woman stopped for a brief moment, looking at the child that had fallen asleep. "Koga, I think you need to carry her." The woman looked at Koga who already had Ayumi in his arms. They started running again, only stopping once they got at the den.
