Hi! I'm back with Chapter 2! I'm enjoying writing this story. And so you know, I mix Japanese with English versions of Inuyasha. Email me if you have any comments. Anyway, on with the story!

Sarist was lying on the mat in Kaede's hut. Kagome was sleeping nearby and Kaede on the far wall. She quietly stood up and walked outside. The first signs of dawn were etching themselves on the edges of the sky, staining it pink and red. She breathed in the fresh morning air and remembered the happy night last night. She had walked back to the hut with Inuyasha after he told her about his life. From the looks of it, he wasn't very happy with his life but he seemed happy to tell someone about it.

Where was Inuyasha though? A little voice said. She looked around and tried to get a whiff of his scent, but she couldn't.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Sarist turned and looked towards the voice. Shippo was standing in the doorway, rubbing his eyes. She smiled at him.

"Just looking for Inuyasha. What are you doing up so early?"

"I heard you get up. I came to see if you needed help with anything." He yawned.

"Go back to bed. I'm going to go and look around a little bit." Shippo didn't protest. He pushed the bamboo away and went in. She heard the rustling of cloth and then his breathing became slow and even.

Sarist walked across the bridge and into the forest. She started walking aimlessly around until she finally found a patch of bright red berries. She remembered eating a patch of the same berries when she was traveling and they actually taste good. She knelt next to the patch and started picking the berries, placing them on a small black piece of cloth that she had brought along. Soon she had a rather large pile of berries and couldn't fit any more on the patch of cloth. She stood up and leaned back as far as she could, hearing pops and snaps as her stiff bones stretched themselves out. When she was done, she pick up the cloth by the corners and started walking back to the village. She carried it in front of her, trying not to lose any of her precious berries.

Something was stalking her from the shadows. He watched her as she walked, trying to keep an eye on the berries and watch the path so she didn't trip.

Master said to kill her… What a shame. She's such a beauty. He crept silently up behind her and was about to stab her in the back when she turned quickly and side kicked him in the stomach. He dropped his knife and was sent flying back. He hit a tree and had the breath knocked out of him, but he was on his feet in a second. A growl escaped him as he watched Sarist balanced the cloth in her hand. He jumped to where his knife was lying and grabbed it. He started back towards her, fire burning in his eyes. She looked up in time to see him plunge the knife in her side.

Her scream echoed through the forest. It got the attention of animals, youkai, and even woke everyone in Kaede's village. She dropped the berries and pushed the man away as hard as she could. He fell away from her and she fell on her back, clutching wound that was gushing blood. Her vision started to blur, so she closed her eyes and tried to get back up. When she was on her feet she took off running, still pressing her hands against his her side trying to stop the stinging pain shooting through her.

"Inuyasha, where are you?"

Inuyasha was lounging casually in a tree near Kaede's house. He had been keeping watch on the house, his thoughts keeping him company through out the night. He was trying to figure out how his father would have another child. She was much younger then him, and he was told his father died a few minutes after he was born. How could she be his sister? He shook his head. What did it matter? It just meant that he had another person to protect.

A scream that curdled even his demon blood sounded. A group of birds that had been on a branch above him started flying away in fright. Villagers were coming out of their huts, asking each other what it had been. Kagome had run out of Kaede's house with Shippo on her shoulder. Shippo's eyes were large with fright. Sango and Miroku ran to Kagome and asked what was wrong. Shippo was frantic.

"Sarist went to the woods! We have to find her!" Inuyasha jumped down from his tree and grabbed Shippo by his tail, scaring the already frantic Kitsune.

"What? Where is she? Damnit, tell me!" Inuyasha was yelling at Shippo. He shook the little Kitsune hard, causing Shippo to cry.

"I don't know!" He choked out. Inuyasha growled angrily and threw Shippo away. He turned and started sniffing around. Finally he got a whiff of blood, his own blood scent, and started running towards the source.

"Sarist! I'm coming!" He yelled.

"Inuyasha, wait!" Kagome was yelling, but he wasn't listening. He was concentrating on following the blood scent. Finally he reached a clearing. His sister was lying on the ground, arms pinned together above her head by a man twice her size. She was using her knee to hit him in the side as he raised a blood covered knife above his head, about to bring it down on her. Sarist stopped trying to hit the man and closed her eyes, trying not to picture the man plunging the knife through her heart.

Inuyasha ran to him and grabbed the man's wrist as he started bringing the knife down.

"Don't you dare hurt my sister!" Inuyasha said coldly. Sarist opened her eyes when she heard her brother voice. She felt over whelming joy and relief as he pushed the man away. He picked her up in his arms and started walking away, oblivious to the man coming behind him. Sarist saw him and tried to talk, but her voice wouldn't work.

Inuyasha! Please, look behind you! She silently pleaded, but he wouldn't turn. Inuyasha was walking by a tree when the man raised his knife again. Sarist wanted to cry, but she didn't. She did the only thing she could to save their lives. She gripped Inuyasha's haori tightly and pushed off a tree with her feet as hard has she could. Inuyasha was pushed to the side just as the knife hit the spot where they were a second earlier. He placed her on the ground and turned back to the man.

"You have a lot of nerve attacking me with my back turned. You're going to pay for ever letting the thought of killing my little sister cross your mind." He drew his sword from his sheath, it transformed as it left the sheath.

Good, it transformed. He had been worried that it wouldn't transform because Sarist was half youkai as well as human, but apparently the sword knew there was human blood. He raised his sword and brought it down yelling "Wind Scar!" Yellow stripes of power ran across the ground. The man's eyes grew in shock as he watched the Wind Scar come towards him. He closed his eyes just as it hit him.

I've failed…

Inuyasha grinned as his attack hit the would-be assassin dead on. The man's shirt was blown off and the man's chest in half. Blood stained the trees and the ground, making a gory picture. He walked over to the corpse and started examining it. Sarist had stood up and walked over to him and knelt beside him. Her hand was still on the stab wound. Her hand was bloody but she didn't mind. A lot worst could've happened to her if Inuyasha hadn't shown up. The image of her being stabbed in the heart ran through her mind, making her shudder.

"What are you looking for?" Sarist asked, trying not to think about what may have happened.

"I'm making sure there's no way he can come back to life. He's a demon in human form." Inuyasha explained. He turned the upper half of the corpse over and examined it. A large spider mark was shaped was taking up most of his back. Inuyasha clenched his teeth in anger.

"Naraku." He said angrily. Naraku had sent a detachment of himself to kill his sister? Sarist looked at him with interest.

"Who's Naraku?"

"He's a demon who's after the Shikon no Tama, a jewel Kagome is trying to purify. He has many detachments off his body which he sends off to do various things. One thing they all have in common is these spider shaped scars on their backs."

"Inuyasha!" They turned around and saw Kiara coming towards them with Sango, Kagome, and Shippo on her back and Miroku was running into the clearing on foot. Kiara landed a few feet away and as soon as they hit the ground Kagome was off of her back and was running towards them. Shippo wasn't far behind.

"Sarist! You're alright!" he said happily. He ran to her and threw his small arms on her side, right next to her stab wound. Sango came and knelt beside Sarist.

"What happened?" Sango asked. Sarist used the back of her hand to rub Shippo's head comfortingly.

"I was attacked. I'm alright though, thanks to Inuyasha."

"But you're bleeding." Sango pointed out. Shippo looked at the bloody patch on her haori that she was covering with her hand and started bawling. He buried his face in her pants and started making a wet patch.

"It's my fault! If I had come with you…You…" He broke off and let lose a fresh set of tears. Sarist smiled weakly.

"Shippo, I'm ok. By tomorrow it'll be as good as new. You'll see. Stop crying." His crying slowed down to hiccups, but tears were still coming down. Sango helped her get to her feet and lead her to Kiara.

"I'm fine. I can walk back." Sarist protested. She tried to pull away, but Inuyasha walked up behind her. He grabbed her and lifted her up onto Kiara's back.

"Thank you." Sango said. She climbed up in front of Sarist and Kagome in the back.

"Take care of her." Inuyasha said to Kagome. She nodded and wrapped her arms around Sarist just as she was about to slide off.

"I told you I'm fine! Now let me go!" She tried to break away, but Kagome tightened her grip. Sango glanced behind her. Sarist was struggling to get loose and Inuyasha had to hold her down so she would stay on Kiara. Sango sighed. She is definitely related to Inuyasha.

"Let's go Kiara."

That night, Sarist was sitting on the roof of Kaede's house watching the stars starting to show in the dark sky. Her side was patched with some bandages Kagome had had in her bag. Inuyasha had been in a bad mood since the event this morning. It was like he had changed from the gentle boy she had known for the past 2 days to a bad tempered guy. She looked at where the moon should've been.

That's right; it's a new moon tonight. She laid down on the roof and looked at the stars. She let her mind wander as she stayed up for the long night.

Naraku looked at the mirror that Kanna was holding in front of him. It showed the scene that had occurred earlier that morning.

So… Arihiro failed. She has friends in high places. He thought as he watched Inuyasha blast his detachment with the Wind Scar. One thing the boy Hanyou said echoed in his head though.

"You'll pay for ever letting the thought of killing my little sister cross your mind."

A little sister. This is growing interesting.

Kagura watched from a corner of the room with a scowl on her face. In her opinion, Naraku was taking to much interest in the girl. She may be Inuyasha's little sister, but that still didn't change the fact that he was starting to obsess.

"Naraku, what is with the girl? Why are you taking such a special interest in her besides the fact that she's the little sister of Inuyasha?" Naraku continued to look into the mirror. An image of the girl in a hut surrounded by the demon slayer and the young priestess. They were bandaging a bloody wound in her side while the little fox demon was sitting next to her. She was talking casually as if she was just sharing a meal with them.

"We spared her life once." He said calmly. He stood up and started walking towards the door. He stopped in front of the door and faced Kagura.

"I'm going out on the walk. I'll leave the remembering the girl to you." With that her left the room, leaving Kagura with a deeper scowl then before.

Inuyasha walked into Kaede's hut and saw Kagome packing her bag. Sarist was playing with Shippo in one of the corners and Kaede was no where in sight. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and smiled.

"I'm going home for a little bit. I need to get some more supplies and I have some tests that I need to take." Kagome explained. Inuyasha scowled. He didn't see the point in taking these tests. He didn't even see the point in going to her 'school.'

"Alright, but you have to promise to be back soon." Kagome nodded and picked up her bag.

"Mind if I come along?" They turned to the corner where Sarist was on her feet and looking at them.

"I don't think so. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo can't get through, so I doubt you can." Kagome said.

"You never know until you try." Sarist said, fingering the jade green gem around her neck. Kagome looked at Inuyasha, trying to read his expression, but she couldn't find anything to help. She looked at Sarist and sighed.

"Ok, let's go." Sarist smiled and knelt down in front of Shippo.

"I'll be back soon, I promise." She stood back up and followed Kagome out the door. Inuyasha scowled at the doorway.

She's my little sister alright. Shippo was also looking at the door with curiosity.

"Do you think she'll be able to go through?" Shippo asked. Inuyasha didn't answer. He just went to one of the corners and started lounging around.

"Who cares? Either way, she's coming back eventually." Shippo looked at him reproachfully.

"You're not a very supportive brother, are you?" Inuyasha gritted his teeth together and started chasing Shippo around the house.

"Get back here and say that to my face!" Shippo ran out of the house and Inuyasha wasn't far behind.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!"

Kagome stopped walking in front of an old well. She turned and faced Sarist and let her bag hit the ground.

"This is how I get home." Kagome explained. Sarist looked at the well with curiosity. Back in her village, parents had used stories of the Bone Eaters Well to lull children to sleep and would threaten to throw them in it if they disobeyed. She had never really believed that an adult would throw their children down a well, but she always wanted to see the legendary well.

"Let's go." Sarist said. Kagome picked up her bag and jumped in the well with Sarist right behind her. A blue light engulfed them and Sarist felt like she was growing older but not changing. When the light subsided they were standing on a sandy pit on the bottom of the well. No light shown down on them from the hole above, only darkness.

"You did go through!" Kagome said with amazement.

"I told you I you never know till you try." Sarist said. She rubbed her gem and an eerie green light started glowing from her gem. Kagome decided not to ask how she did it. Some magic tricks are better left unknown.

"We need to get up there." Kagome said pointing up to the top of the well.

"No kidding." Sarist said. Kagome was starting to climb a ladder up the wall. She was climbing up fairly quickly and was soon up at the top. Sarist jumped up to the top, her gem still glowing. Sarist followed Kagome out of the little building and into sunlit area. Another house was to their left, much larger then the little house that they had just left. A gate like the one near Kaede's hut was to their right and a small shrine was in front of them. Kagome was walking towards the large house and Sarist followed close behind her. Kagome slid a door aside and stepped into the house. Kagome slipped off her shoes and walked into a long hall. Voices were talking not to far away and clanging metal was sounding off in Sarist's ears.

"Is someone fighting in here?" Sarist asked, her ears twitching wildly. Kagome looked at her and smiled.

"It's my mom cooking." She said. She started walking down the hall.

"I'm home!" She said loudly. A young boy's voice echoed "Kagome's home!"

"We're in the kitchen!" A woman's voice said. Kagome walked up to another door and slid it aside.

"Welcome home Kagome." An old man's voice croaked. Kagome entered the room and Sarist heard "Hi Grandpa!" Sarist stood uncomfortably in the hall, not sure of what to do. Kagome's voice was happily talking with her family and an aura of happy people was emitting from the room.

Maybe I shouldn't have come… Sarist thought sadly. She turned and started walking back out the door when Kagome came up to her.

"Come on, come meet my family." Kagome said. She grabbed Sarist's arms and started dragging her towards the kitchen before she could protest.

"Everyone, this is Sarist." Kagome announced. An old man was sitting on the ground with a cup of brown liquid halfway to his mouth. There was a little boy that resembled Kagome was sitting across from the old man with a cream white cat with brown spots on his lap and a woman with short black hair and light brown eyes holding a large bowl of rice in her hands. They all starred at her, examining her with surprised eyes.

"Uh… Kagome; isn't that just Inuyasha?" the little boy asked. Kagome shook her head.

"She happens to be his little sister, Souta. She was able to get through the well." Kagome explained. Kagome's brother, Souta, looked her in the eye.

"Well, she does still have the same golden eyes and silver hair. Plus the ears. They could be twins. You can't blame me for thinking she's Inuyasha. The only difference is their height." Souta pointed. Sarist couldn't help but blush. She knew she and Inuyasha looked alike, but she never knew how much.

"Well, since you're here, you can have lunch with us. Come and get some!" Kagome's mom said cheerfully. Sarist looked at Kagome and she nodded. Kagome sat down and Sarist sat beside her. She bowed her head and started thinking.

I wonder why we looked so much alike. Most siblings don't look alike at all except for remote physical similarities. Are we really twins?

I take my leave there. I really hope you like my first two chapters. Remember, EMAILS ARE GOOD! I NEED THEM! Heh heh. Anyway, see ya next chapter!
