Me: OK this disclaimer is going to be kind of long because I want to set up a few things before I start the story.

Hekele: Ya we need to set up a few rules

Me: Oh My God! When and how did you get here?

Kachie: About five minute ago and through that door.

Me: Crap! Stop showing up behind me!

Hekele: You know what we took up too much time just star the story

Me: Fine. All I own is Leiko and one other person. Also this chapter goes out to Hekele, Kachie, annoyinglittleKitsune, and LadyMiharu for reviewing my story before anyone else thanks.

Me: P.S for the people who hade to read the original second chapter sorry this one is better ok. Also "talking" Thinking

Ok that all on with the story

An Old Friend

"Scarlet Night!" Kagome yelled as she attacked the mantis that was standing over some villagers "Get to safety! Now!" Kagome yelled at the villagers as she ran to go help Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha do you need some help? Kagome asked Inuyasha as she ran up to Inuyasha.

"Does it look like I need help?" Inuyasha asked as he cut down the mantis in front of him

"No but you never know something could happen." Kagome said

As if on cue a mantis twice as big as the others came out of the forest and side swiped its arm and sent Kagome flying into a tree.

"Shit!" was the only word Kagome could get out before the arm hit her.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled as he tried to run to Kagome's side only to be block by another mantis.

Inuyasha jumped up and rammed his hand through the mantis head. Just before Inuyasha turned to kill the bigger mantis he saw a big slash of darkness come flying out of the body and a confused looking Kagome on the other side

"What was that?" Kagome asked Inuyasha as he came up next to her.

"What do you mean didn't you just kill the mantis?

"No I stood up to kill it and I heard some one yelled "Blades of Darkness!" then a big slash of darkness came flying out of no where and killed the mantis.

"Weird. Do you know any one who uses darkness as there power?

"No I don't think so."

"Well someone has to be able……" Inuyasha never got to finish his sentence because just then they heard some villagers scream. With that they both took off back into the village swords drawn.

In the woods a demon stepped out of the shadow. "So Inuyasha is alive and he has a mate. This is going to be fun." With that the demon stepped back in to the woods.

------with Sango and Miroku-------

"Get back please!" Miroku yelled at the village kids that he was protecting.

The kids nodded their heads and ran off towards the outskirts of the village. With the kids gone Miroku let the lightning energy he controlled surge through his body and into the mantis in front of him in turn charring all of the mantis's body.

Miroku turned to see Kilala and Songo rip a mantis to shreds "Kilala look out!" Sango yelled as a mantis came up behind the cat demon. Kilala just jumped up and landed on the head of the mantis and ripped it to shreds.

"PILLAR OF ICE!" was all Miroku herd before a pillar of ice formed and crashed through the mantis that was behind him. Miroku turned to Sango "Thank you."

"No time for thanks we need to help the village" Sango said as she ran off to a burning hut.

She right we need to help before the village is burned down

------Later at camp just outside the village------

"God that took forever!" Kagome said as she sat down near a fire that Shippo had made after the fight

"Ya I wonder why the mantis where attacking the village?" Miroku said as he looked at what was left of the village "It's a shame we couldn't kill the mantis faster so we could have put out the fire.

"I can tell you why the village was under attack." Leiko said as she walked up to the group.

It was the first time any one got a good look at her. Like Inuyasha thought she was indeed a white tiger demon and her armor was more like a bikini. Shippo was the first to say something after getting a good look at the demon.

"Why does your armor only cover up a little bit of your body?" Shippo said wile looking at her weird armor.

"One this is not my armor this is for when I go hunting or when I go scouting, Two my fur is a natural armor. Ok?" Leiko said wile looking down at the young kitsune.

"Let get back to why the village was under attack O.K?" Inuyasha said with somewhat of an annoyed tone.

Leiko gave a soft growl "Unlike some villages who don't take in demon slayers this one does. The mantises that live around the village aren't too happy about that. So they try to attack the village all the time but I usually manage to stop them. You see I am the protector of the village. Weird uh?"

"You could say that I mean a village that takes in demon slayers has a demon for a protector. That must suck to be you sometimes."

"Ya it does."

"So who are you we never got to meet you" Kagome said as she looked at the cat demon

"I am Leiko as you can tell I am a cat demon and I am sure you want to know more about me well I can control the earth around you." With that she made some of the small pebbles around the group lift in to the air and float.

"OK what about how you became protector of the village?" Kagome asked

"Well my parents use to live in the forest and for some reason when the village found us they didn't try to kill us the only took us in. So for helping us my father helped the village by protecting them and I just took it up after the mantis killed them." Leiko said as she put her head down wile saying the last part."

"What happened to them?"

"The Mantis that live around the village where not happy with my parents living with humans so on day that attacked at night and killed them both I was outside walking around the village as I like to do at night." Leiko explained

Suddenly an elder from the village showed up and walked up to Leiko "Leiko you have served us well but after the attack none of the village is safe to stay in so we are moving to a neighboring village."

Leiko just looked at the elder "OK"

"You see the thing is the village does not allow demon to live there so you need to find somewhere to go now. Don't worry about protection on the way some demon slayers that just showed up will take us to the village."

"But…."

"No buts we would love to have you stay with us but you just can't."

"But I can look human!" With that all the fur on Leiko's just receded in to her body and her ears folded down onto her head and where covered up by her hair.

"Not even you can hide your demon powers or traits also what about human ears you don't have them."

"FINE if this is how you repay me after helping you for 5 years I will be happy to leave!" Leiko yelled at the old man as her fur came back.

Kagome just watch all of this happen then she got an idea that she knew Inuyasha would probably hate at first but she also knew that she could get him to agree.

"Inuyasha." Kagome said as she turned to Inuyasha

"What… OH no no we have way too many people in our group" Inuyasha said with his head turned the other way.

"Inuyasha please." Kagome said as she reached up and started rubbing his ears.

"Fine I will ask her." Inuyasha said just before he started to purr slightly

"Good boy" Kagome said and patted his head.

"Leiko." Inuyasha said as he turned towards her

"What!" Leiko yelled at Inuyasha because she was still pissed at the villagers.

"Kagome was thinking if you have no where to go why don't you just join our group?"

"I don't know I don't know you that well why would I want to travel with you?"

"You don't have to" Inuyasha said in his well-fine-then-be-that-way tone.

"OK but I need to get to know you better OK?"

"OK I guess we should start with who is in the group First there is me…" suddenly there was a black figure standing outside the camp fire.

"Who the hell are you and what … YOU!" Inuyasha yelled and pointed to the demon

All they got out of him was a smile then out of nowhere his claws where a dark black. "Bye Bye. BLADES OF DARKNESS!" the demon yelled and suddenly three black energy slashes came flying out of his claws straight at Kagome and Inuyasha!
