Nothing new. So I'm skipping before author notes.

Sesshomaru walked through the forest with Rin riding Ah-Un. Jaken was leading the two headed dragon behind Sesshomaru and Rin was wearing the human girl's haori. She was looking around, as if the girl would suddenly jump out of the shadows to reclaim it. Sesshomaru was still puzzling over why she smelled of his wench of a brother, but also smelled slightly like him while having her own scent.

The sun was setting, but they hadn't found a decent place to rest. Sesshomaru stopped. A growl built itself up in his throat as Inuyasha's scent filled his nose. A faint wisp of his scent floated past his nose.

So, the girl is there also. Rin turned and looked at Sesshomaru with curiosity as the growl escaped him.

"Lord Sesshomaru, is something wrong milord?" Sesshomaru stopped growling and his muscles relax.

"The girl is nearby," he said as if that explained everything. Even without looking Sesshomaru knew her face lit up.

"Yay! Now I can say 'thank you' for saving me!" She said cheerfully. She jumped off of Ah Un and ran forward so she was next to Sesshomaru. "Where is she?"

Sesshomaru just glanced down at her, but he started walking to where the girl, and his half-breed brother, was. A few minutes they saw a light through the trees. Rin's eyes shone as she ran forward.

"Rin, wait!" Sesshomaru managed to get out, but Rin was already out of his vision. He cursed under his breath and swiftly walked after her.

"Lord Sesshomaru! Please wait milord! Miloooord!" Jaken's shrill cry came after him as he stepped out into the light.

Inuyasha looked up as Sesshomaru's little girl came out of the woods. Her brown eyes glistened in the fire light and Sarist's scent was mixed with Sesshomaru's. He noticed that she was wearing Sarist's haori and she looked to where Sarist was sleeping soundly as she leaned against Inuyasha's chest. Suddenly a shrill cry sounded in the woods and Sesshomaru stepped out of the woods next to the girl.

"Sesshomaru, what the hell are you doing here!" Inuyasha whispered angrily. Kagome rolled over in her sleeping bag, but stayed asleep. Sesshomaru looked at him with distaste.

"My ward happens to have something to return to the human girl." He said with no emotions. He scanned the clearing and his eyes came to a stop on Sarist who was still wearing Inuyasha's haori. Inuyasha saw Sesshomaru's nose wrinkle up in disgust.

"So, the girl is a filthy hanyou." Inuyasha felt a growl building up, but he forced it down so he wouldn't wake Sarist. He slipped away from Sarist and laid her on the ground and walked over to Sesshomaru. The little girl ran over to Sarist and sat down next to her.

"She's even prettier then she was before!" Inuyasha heard her whisper as she delicately touched a strand of Sarist's hair.

"Rin," Sesshomaru suddenly spoke out. The girl looked up in surprise. "Let the girl sleep." Sesshomaru turned back to Inuyasha.

"We need to talk." Inuyasha said bluntly. He turned and started walking into the forest. He heard Sesshomaru's light footfalls follow him into the woods. He was slightly surprised that for once Sesshomaru was actually following him instead of just drawing Toukijin and trying to kill him. Finally Inuyasha stopped and faced his brother.

"I see that you've met Sarist." Inuyasha said. Sesshomaru just stood there and didn't say anything. Inuyasha just ignored his silence for Sarist's sake.

"You do know who she is, right? Surely you noticed her scent by now." Sesshomaru still didn't answer. He just gave his little brother a cold, blank stare. Inuyasha's patience was wearing thin.

"You do know that you can talk!" Inuyasha's said irritably. Sesshomaru just looked down at him with a superior look.

"I have nothing to say to someone as lowly as you. The girl, maybe, but only because she saved the life of my ward." Inuyasha felt a wave of anger run through him. How dare Sesshomaru treat him like this? His love for Sarist could only go so far when it came to dealing with Sesshomaru.

"She's our God-damn sister!" Inuyasha yelled. Sesshomaru staggered a bit, either from the news of a sibling or from Inuyasha's sudden outburst. It was most likely from the news because the first thing out of his mouth was:

"That wench is our sister?" Inuyasha smirked and nodded.

"Surprised?" Inuyasha turned and started walking away, a smirk still on his face.

Sarist sat up suddenly. She didn't know why she had suddenly waked up. Maybe because of the absence of her brother, or perhaps it was because Rin was sitting beside her, her small hands tangled in Sarist's hair. Probably the second.

Wait a sec…

"Rin?" Rin looked up with frightened eyes, but then they were filled with joy.

"You're awake! I'm glad that you're alright!" Sarist couldn't help but smile at the little girl's cheerful mood.

"I'm glad your ok, Rin!" Sarist sat up straighter and moved a strand of Rin's black hair out of her eyes. Rin smiled up at her again and Sarist wrapped her arm around the girl's shoulders.

"So, I see you have my haori. Have you been taking care of it?" Sarist asked in a playful stern tone. Rin smiled a big toothy smile and nodded eagerly.

"Yep! Sesshomaru-sama didn't seem to like me keeping it, but I took care of it for you!" She started taking it off, but Sarist shook her head.

"Keep it on. It's cool out, so you'll need it." Rin nodded and snuggled up with Sarist. Sarist heard a rustling in the trees and the imp demon stumbled out and fell on his face. The two headed dragon came out next and one head looked at the imp, and the other looked at Rin and Sarist.

"Hello, Lord Jaken!" Rin said cheerfully. Sarist looked around uneasily. She was surprised that everyone was sleeping through all this racket. Jaken jumped to his feet and starred at them with bulging eyes.

"You!" He yelled shrilly. "Get your hands off of little Rin or feel the wrath of the Two-headed Staff!" He charged towards them and Sarist grabbed her sheathed sword. She held it out in front of her and he ran straight into it. He fell backwards and lost the grip on his staff which continued forward without him. It was headed straight for Rin, but Sarist caught it in time with lightning speed before Rin or Jaken could blink.

"Hey, toad-boy, keep it quiet. There are people sleeping here." She tossed the staff back at him and watched it hit him in the face. "Oops, sorry 'bout that!"

Rin giggled. Sarist heard Shippo stir over where he was sleeping by Kiara in her larger form. He sat up and yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"Sarist?" He yawned.

"I'm here." Sarist said. He looked to where she was sitting and his eyes opened to twice their normal size. "Who are they!" He asked in fright.

"Its ok, Shippo. This is Rin and that's Jaken." Sarist said. Rin smiled and waved, but Jaken just snorted and leaned against the dragon's side. "Go back to sleep."

"I don't think I can." Shippo said. Sarist sighed.

"Come on over here and sit with us." Shippo ran over to the two girls and snuggled up with Sarist as well. "Do you guys want me to sing to you?" They both nodded, and Sarist tried to think of a song. Finally she remembered one that she had heard in Kagome's era that she had loved.

I know that you're hiding things

Using gentle words to shelter me

Your words were like a dream

But dreams could never fool me

Not that easily

I acted so distant then

Didn't say goodbye before you left

But I was listening

You'll fight your battles far from me

Far too easily

"Save your tears cause I'll come back"

I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door

But still I swore

To hide the pain when I turn back the pages

Shouting might have been the answer

What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart

But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart

Though a thousand words

Have never been spoken

They'll fly to you

Crossing over the time and distance holding you

Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words

One thousand confessions

Will cradle you

Making all of the pain you feel seem far away

They'll hold you forever

Shippo and Rin were fast asleep next to her, their little arms wrapped around her. She looked up and saw that Jaken had also fallen asleep. She couldn't help but smile as she watched him snore. She turned to the trees and saw two sets of golden eyes looking at her. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru stepped into the light of the fire and starred at her. She blushed when she realized they had heard her singing. A contented sigh sounded in the back of her mind and she realized that Yori had also heard her.

Sesshomaru's eyes had a contented glow in them and Inuyasha was smiling. She was glad that they hadn't killed each other yet. Then it hit her.

Wow, their standing right next to each other and their happy! As if they read her thoughts, they looked at each other and side stepped away from each other. She stifled a laugh and closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Inuyasha watched as Sarist fell asleep. He couldn't help but smile when he remembered Sesshomaru's shocked face when he saw Sarist singing to Shippo and the little human girl. They had stayed in the woods and listened to her. A smile had cracked Sesshomaru's face as he watched the trio sitting there. Maybe with Sarist the two brothers could end their bitter hate for each other.

Inuyasha jumped up into a tree and settled himself on one of the branches so he could see the entire camp. He saw Sesshomaru seat himself at the base of another tree so he could keep an eye on Rin. Inuyasha leaned against the tree and watched Kagome and Sarist. For the rest of the night nothing could be heard except for the steady breathing in the rather large group.

Sarist woke up the next morning and her arms felt like they were being pricked by needles. She looked down and saw that Shippo and Rin were leaning on her arms, no doubted slowing the blood circulation in her arms. The sun was starting to climb the sky and everyone was asleep. And by everyone, that meant everyone. The two Inu brothers were fast asleep also, surprisingly. It seemed like she was the only one alive in the woods. She was able to slip away from the two little kids and she crept to where her clothes sat in a pile.

She picked them up so quietly that even she couldn't hear them separate from the dewy grass. She softly walked away and put on the jeans and her fur, but when she got to the shirt and stopped. It was completely torn apart. One of the tank top's straps was torn off and a bunch of holes was covering the other. And from the looks of it, the shirt would barely cover what it need to.

She sighed. She owes Kagome a new school uniform and another shirt. Why does she owe everyone everything? She put Inuyasha's haori back on and saw it go almost down to her knees. She grabbed all of the excess material and made it into a pony tail and tied it so it was right above her hips. Another searing pain shot through her head and Sarist fell to her knees, clutching her forehead.

Fire was everywhere. Smoke filled the room and stung her nose and made her want to close her eyes and run out, but she couldn't leave. She was still inside. She ran through the castle, desperately searching for her. Pain shot through her as she took each step. Arrows prodded themselves out of her shoulders and chest. There was only one problem.

'Oh my God! I'm a fucking GUY!' She felt her legs move by themselves. Words names ripped from her throat by themselves.

"Izayoi! Izayoi!" She screamed desperately as she ran through a burning wall. A large square of fire was in the center of the room and the cry's of a baby reached her sensitive ears. "Izayoi…" She whispered as she ran to the lump of fire. She grabbed the lump and flipped it over so fast that she didn't feel the heat of the fire on her hands. The sight before her ripped her heart out.

Izayoi lay on the floor, a spear sticking out of her chest and her head leaned to one side. She couldn't hear her delicate breathing like she could remember so well. Her pale face looked so wrong. She sheathed the sword that she had forgotten she was holding and drew another. She held it in front of her and felt it pulse beneath her hands.

'That's Sesshomaru's sword! It's the Tenseiga!' She realized in disbelief. Suddenly she swung the sword twice and the woman stirred. She sat up and looked around with a dazed look. Sarist knelt next to her and removed her haori and dropped it on the woman's head as she collected a white headed baby with little white ears. Before she could get a better look the door burst open and a single man came in.

"Run!" Sarist whispered, and then she stood and replaced the Tenseiga with yet another sword.

Sarist was on her knees; her face had a dazed expression as her amber eyes stared at air. Izayoi… That name sounded so familiar, but she had never heard of it. She stood up, deciding not to think of it because these visions were becoming more frequent, and started walking back to the clearing.

Everyone was still asleep even though the sun was going higher. She walked quietly to Kagome and shook her a little bit.

"Go away," she mumbled, her eyes still closed and she flipped over so her back was to Sarist. Sarist glanced up to see if Inuyasha or Sesshomaru was awake, but they were still sound asleep. She turned her attention back to Kagome and shook her a little more. Kagome's brow furrowed.

"Inuyasha, si--," Sarist clapped her hand over Kagome's mouth before she could finish what she was saying. Now Kagome was awake. Sarist carefully removed her hand from Kagome's mouth. She put a finger to her mouth, signaling that Kagome should be quiet. She pointed to the woods and stood up. Kagome stood up as quietly as she could and they walked into the woods. When they were far enough away for Sarist's tastes, she faced Kagome.

"Sorry, but no one would wake up. Not even Inuyasha or Sesshomaru." Sarist said. Kagome nodded.

"I saw that they were asleep. Have you noticed how cute those two are when they're asleep?" Kagome asked jokingly. They laughed together, but Sarist stopped.

"Yes, anyway, I was thinking we should go and get some breakfast for everyone." Kagome smiled.

"Good idea. Everyone would like something nice to eat. What do you have in mind?" Sarist thought for a moment, then looked around. "There should be a stream around here we could get some fish." Kagome nodded and they started off looking for a stream.

After awhile they found a stream and started to fish and soon had a large collection of fish. They got enough fish so that everyone could have 2 fish each and extra so if anyone (mainly and probably only Inuyasha) could have more if they wanted to.

They carried the fish back and looked around. Still no one was awake. The only one that stirred was the dragon that opened one eye on each head, but decided that they weren't interesting and closed them again. Sarist handed her fish to Kagome and was about to get some fire wood when Rin sat up. She yawned and stretched. Rin saw Sarist and was about to say her greetings when Sarist quickly ran over to her and covered her mouth.

"Shh!" She whispered. "Be quiet, otherwise you'll wake Sesshomaru and everyone else." Rin's eyes were wide open, but she nodded meekly. Sarist removed her hand from the girl's mouth as Rin slipped out of her haori and held it out to Sarist. Sarist smiled and took it, then pointed to Kagome.

"Go help Kagome with the fish." Rin smiled and nodded. She ran over to Kagome and Sarist slipped into the woods. She replaced Inuyasha's haori for her own and started her search for wood. She folded Inuyasha's haori and tucked it under her arm as she walked. Suddenly the wind picked up and Sarist's muscles turned to stone. A scent that she hadn't smelled in a long time rode upon the wave. That scent had given her nightmares for two years, forcing her to shed tears of pain and sadness. She looked around quickly, trying to find the source, but she was in a whirl wind of wind that carried the scent around her. Sarist reached to draw her sword, but quickly realized that she had left it back at the camp. She flexed her claws nervously, still trying to find the source.

"Show yourself!" She called out into the air. The wind seemed to carry her voice around her, mimicking and taunting her. She looked around anxiously. Why hadn't the woman shown herself yet?

"So! You're the one Naraku is so interested in," a loud woman's voice. Sarist looked up and saw the woman from two years ago hovering on her feather above the vortex of wind where Sarist was trapped in the center of. The woman's red eyes seemed to burn into her soul.

"You!" Was all Sarist managed to get out to the woman who killed the only family she ever knew. The woman let out a long, cold laugh.

"Yes, it's me. Naraku wishes me to bring to back to the castle, so either you'll come quietly or I'll take you by force." She said cruelly. A growl escaped Sarist as she crouched down, ready for an attack.

"Take your best shot." Sarist jumped out of column of wind and raised her claws as she got closer to the woman.

"You'll pay for what you did to my family!" Sarist said harshly as she brought her hand down. The wind blew harder and blew the feather out of Sarist reach.

Damnit! How do I hit her if she keeps moving! Sarist continued to jump up and attack the woman, but every time she moved away so Sarist couldn't reach her.

"This is getting tiring," The woman stated. She raised her fan and brought it down in a sweeping motion. "Dance of Blades!"

White blades much like Blades of blood shot out of the fan and descended towards her with amazing speed. She barely was able to raise her arms to protect her face in time before a cutting pain hit her arms and chest. The attack pushed her back and she felt blood flow from the cuts in her arms. Suddenly something was clapped around her neck and sent such shocks of evil energy coursing through her veins.

Her head pounded wildly and her heart beat faster as she tried to pry the thing off of her neck, but it just made it cause more pain then before. Sarist's mouth went dry as Sarist fell to her knees and hunched over in pain as tears made their path down her cheeks.

"Someone… Help me…" she whispered through her tears. She clawed at her neck and felt Inuyasha's haori slip out from under her arm. She felt something slip from her neck, but she barely noticed through the mind numbing pain. She lifted her face to the heavens as a fresh wave of pain wash over her. "Somebody help meeee!"

Inuyasha's eyes flew open as the cry for help reached his ears a split second before it woke everyone else. His first instinct was to look to where Sarist had been sleeping and he instantly saw that she wasn't there. Only a frightened little Kitsune was where she had been. Kagome and Sesshomaru's little girl were holding a bunch of fish in their hands; surprised expressions were clearly etched on their faces as they looked toward a clump of trees.

Miroku, Sango, and Kiara were on their feet in a second while Sesshomaru's little toad just jumped up and fell on his face. Sesshomaru was on his feet and had Toukijin in hand as he sniffed the air around him. Inuyasha stood on his branch and looked around at the woods that surrounded them. A small figure in the distance descended into the trees and a very faint scent of blood came from the distance.

"I think I know where she is!" Inuyasha called down to the group below. He took off and started jumping from tree to tree to the spot where he had seen the figure. Just before he reached the spot a large feather floated up out of a hole in the canvas of leaves and climbed the wind into the sky. Kagura glared down at Inuyasha as she flew away. Sarist's scent came from her, but…

A small clawed hand fell limply from the feather as it flew away. Some silver hair fell over with the hand also, and made a veil of silver that fluttered in the wind.

"Sarist!" Inuyasha jumped up and tried to grab Sarist's hand, but Kagura's feather moved out of range quickly and disappeared into the skies.

"Damn you, Naraku! DAMN YOU!" Inuyasha screamed after Kagura. He fell to his knees, pounding his palm down on the branch he was on, causing it to crack and splinter.

"Inuyasha, come here!" Kagome's voice sounded out below him. Inuyasha looked jumped down and saw Kagome kneeling next to a red lump on the ground. Sesshomaru stood nearby and the others stood off at a distance. Sesshomaru's human stood by the dragon and their reigns, her eyes filled with fright. The others stood off at a distance; Sango wrapped in Miroku's arms and Kiara in her larger form with Shippo her back.

Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and knelt next to her, and nearly choked. The red lump was his half-folded, half- sprawled haori. Sarist's scent dominated it and pieces of torn blue cloth laid and small collections of blood were on the ground on the scraps of cloth, his haori, and a bit of ground.

"Sarist…" Inuyasha whispered as he picked up his haori reverently. Something slipped out of the folds of his haori and little black balls rolled out on the ground.

"Oh, no…" Kagome whispered in dismay. She picked up one of the black balls and Inuyasha realized what it was. They were Sarist's beads that she had kept her gem on. A row of stringed beads fell out of another fold and Sarist's gem rolled out after them. Inuyasha reached forward and touched it and instantly heard wild yelling and screaming while another voice tried to be heard over the first voice. Apparently everyone heard it also because everyone jumped.

"Sarist! Sarist!" A voice that resembled Inuyasha's own screamed out.

"Yori, calm down! Screaming and trying to kill your soul isn't going to help her at all!" A young girl's voice tried to yell over Yori's yelling. Rin took in a sharp breath and Kagome looked in amazement.

"Yori? Yasu?" Kagome called out bravely. Kagome leaned forward on her hands and looked down into the gem.

"Hey, you're Kagome?" The girl's voice said in amazement. Kagome just nodded silently. "And the Yori look-alike must be Inuyasha. I'm sorry about- Yori, shut up for two minutes so I can talk please! - Yori's crazy behavior."

Inuyasha scowled slightly. No wonder Sarist had yelled out that night. If those two were always like this he would've killed himself long ago; or at least gone crazy.

"What happened to Sarist?" Shippo piped up from his perch on Kiara.

"She had been looking for wood when she just suddenly stopped and tensed up. The wind picked up and the woman on the feather appeared. They fought for a bit, then the woman used an attack and cut Sar up a bit then put a metal collar on her and she suddenly just hunched over and started crying in pain. She tried to get the collar off, but she ended up slicing the bead string by accident and her necklace fell off. She passed out and the woman loaded her up on the feather and they flew off." Yasu finished.

"Why are you all still sitting there!" Yori's angry voice yelled. "Her scent is growing fainter and you have to follow her!"

"What do you care?" Inuyasha replied irritably. "You're always treating her like trash and never respecting her or helping her when she needs help. Why should you care!"

"Because I love her!" Yori's reply came, setting a stunned silence upon everyone.

Big turn of events! Surely you noticed how they were getting a little nicer together, and plus he's been with her most of her life. I have big plans for the next chapter, but I don't know if it'll be out tomorrow or the beginning of next week. And, incase you didn't figure it out, the one vision she saw was one of the openning scenes in the 3rd Inuyasha movie. And the song was 1000 Words from Final Fantasy X-2. I absolutly love the two songs Yuna sings in there! )
