Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha… something's coming, and it has 3 jewel shards."
"What?" suddenly it hit him, the scent of an inu-youkia.
"Do you sense that? Its one to rival Sesshomaru's power…" Sango gasped.
"Keh I doubt it… Sesshomaru's too powerful for a whelp of a youkia to over power him."
"I heard that, runt!" a feminine voice yelled landing in front of the small group.
As soon as she landed Inuyasha had the Tetsusagia at her throat.
"That isn't a nice way to greet someone young one." Was her opinion towards him.
"Who the hell are you? And why the hell are you calling me 'young one'?"
"My name is Inumariemaromaru, or Marie. Preferably Marie, that's what Sessh calls me… anyways… I haven't seen you since you were this small Inu."
"Huh? I don't ever know who the hell you are."
"Listen to the name… it has a bit of your name in it my name in it and Sesshomaru's name in it jerk… Inu… Marie… maro…. Maru… Hear it?"
"I still don't understand and why do you keep talking of that jackass… I don't even know who he is…"
"Stop talking about him like that! He's your brother… and mine so stop it… god Dad was right… if I left you guys would turn against each other."
"What are you talking about?"
"Gah! My father, your father, and our brother's father's name is Inunotashio correct?"
"Yeah he's mine and Sesshomaru's father… but I don't know about you."
"Alright then alright…" Sighing she looked up at him… "You want proof right?"
"Yeah that would kinda help…"
"Dering on this open horizon. Oh how do you think this is happening?
Can you hear it darling? The snow in the yard has come to pass.
The first snow is a falling, darling. Can you hear it with those snow white ears?
Will you tell me… what are these sounds that wake you
I can make them disappear. Diminish in this snow white appeal."
"How did?"
"We all know it… I disappeared after our fathers death traveled to a place of pureness. So that I could, understand the way of life… I guess. But I watched over you for some time. When I left after Sesshomaru, took over the lands, your mother left me that song to carry with me, swearing that if I ever did come back, that you'd remember that song since you were too young at the time to remember your sister."
Laughing at the clueless looks on their faces she smiled.
"Oh I'm sorry… I suppose you don't know anyone other then Inuyasha, my name's Kagome, this is Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kilala." Kagome introduced them.
"Thank you. Sesshomaru, wants to see you. And I want you two to make amends so please come with me."
"Hell no." Inuyasha yelled, he had put away the Tetsusagia and had folded his arms inside of his Kimono.
"Excuse me?" Marie questioned.
"I don't get along with Sesshomaru all too well… and frankly, I don't feel like fighting today with him, when you're around." Inuyasha replied stubbornly.
Walking up to him, she took hold of one of his fluffy white ears, and pulled it… a sudden yelp entered the large meadow.
"Come with me or face the consequences."
"Fine, fine." He sighed as she let go of his ear.
"C'mon then."
Walking along, heading towards the Western Lands, which is where she had left her brother.
"Say Marie, how come your tail isn't as fluffy as Sesshomaru's, and how come you don't even have a tail." Kagome asked tentively.
"I have a tail, all Inu-dog demon's do. Just mines in a wrap. See." she swung her tail around.
It was in a black case, the same color of her outfit, and it fit tightly around her tail.
"Can you transform into a giant dog like Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yup, that's the whole purpose of the tail."
"Why did you come back?" Miroku asked.
"You make it sound as if you hate me when you don't even know me."
"No, no that's not it Miss. Marie, it's just that, I was curious, if you left to find pureness then why did you come back. It's a lifelong commitment."
"Ah Miroku that's correct a lifelong commitment, fortunately for me, I'm a demon, I can live for more then 1 lifetime and already have. I've been on this earth for 1000 years I'm 100 years older then Sesshomaru, and 800 years older then Inuyasha."
"Oh I see, you went looking for pureness when you were quite young in demon years." Sango jumped in.
"I still am quite young in demon years."
"Say since I'm only a half demon, will I live as long as you guys do?"
"Yes, dog demons live forever, mate forever, and never change their features after they turn 18 although I dunno with you since you were pinned to that tree for so long and you were pinned there with a sacred arrow."
"No I'd say that it was the same considering that Kagome was the one that freed him and he protected her as soon as he was free." Miroku said.
"Ah I see that's how your group was formed. You guys all formed together because, you wanted to protect the young miko from harm?"
"Nope, though I think that was Inuyasha's intent, you see Kagome freed Inuyasha and then not too soon after that, Kagome accidentally shattered the jewel. Inuyasha and Kagome set out on a journey to collect the jewel shards since lady Keade told them too before it fell into the wrong hands. But, along the way they met up with Me, Miroku and Sango." Shippo said after getting tired of being left out of the conversation.
"Oh alright, your quite wise for someone so young." Marie complimented.
After about an hour of walking, Inuyasha noticed that his friends were tired but wouldn't say anything in for fear that a Inu-dog demon would just laugh.
With one giant leap he walked beside his sister.
"How much longer do we have to go?" He asked.
"At this rate we won't be there until nightfall, why are you tired."
"Keh no, but they are, there only humans, but stubborn ones at that. Come one lets have a bit of a break to let them rest for a little while." He whispered as if not to let them know what they were talking about.
"Very well then tell them to rest, I'm going to go and scout out the area see how far we really have to go." She smiled before she took off in a blur.
"Where's she going Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"Just up ahead, she thought she heard something. We're supposed to stay here and have some dinner I guess."
"Alright." Setting to work she started a fire and took a pot out of her book bag along with the water canister. Pouring some of the water into the pot she set it on top of the fire.
"What type of Ramen are we having Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
"Um. Spicy I guess, I have a ton of it and not very much of the other kinds, is that okay?"
"Yup."
"I'll be right back, Sango could you make sure that the food doesn't over boil or what ever?"
"Sure."
"Thank you."
Picking up the empty canister she started towards the nearby stream. Looking down at the group to make sure they weren't watching him, Inuyasha took off after her.
Kagome could sense him coming she knew that he was he always did when she headed out by herself. Although that was part of the reason that she went off by herself.
"Hey, something wrong?" he asked in her ear as he pulled her into his chest.
"Nope nothing just getting some water." She smiled. His golden eyes were dancing as he leaned down in kissed her.
Kissing him back they broke at the sound of a twig breaking. As soon as they heard that Kagome was behind him and Inuyasha was growling deep in the back of his throat.
"Whoa, down puppy down." Was a soft reply.
"Marie?"
"Your group doesn't know do they?" her soft golden eyes shown with a hint of amusement and admiration towards her brother and his 'friend'.
"No they don't, and for the time being we'd both probably prefer that they didn't." Inuyasha said still on guard.
"Calm down Inuyasha I didn't have any intention on ruining your love life while I was here, although I didn't expect to run into it either."
"Please, don't tell them, we would both greatly appreciate it." Kagome said pleadingly.
"I won't a promise between brother and sister." She laughed at the look on their faces when she said that before she headed back towards camp.
Sighing in complete relief he smirked softly to Kagome.
"You still getting that filled are you?"
"Oh yeah I completely forgot about it." Kagome smiled as they both filled up the canister and headed back to camp.
Later that night.
"So you just want to camp here tonight then?" Marie asked her brother.
"Sure."
Staying up later, Kagome sat beside Inuyasha, Marie sat up in a tree just above the 6 friends, Miroku and Sango were directly across from them.
"I think it's about time we all settled into bed." Sango said quietly pointing towards the curled up ball on Kagome's lap.
"Yeah I suppose we should lady Sango." Miroku said as she got up. Reaching up he had his few seconds of bliss before Sango turned around.
"PERVERT!" she yelled before smacking him upside the head.
Laughter came from above in the tree.
"Yeah sweet dreams Miroku." She laughed.
"Night Sango." Kagome said.
"Night Kagome." Sango replied. "Night Marie."
"Night Sango." Marie said. "Night Kagome, night Inuyasha."
"Night Marie." They both said in unison.
"Night Inuyasha." Sango said.
"Night Sango." Inuyasha replied.
"Night Inuyasha." Kagome said softly.
"Night Kagome." He replied.
Way later like 2:00 in the morning.
A scream was heard that could rival all of the noise in present day Japan. (Kagome's time) waking up everyone around it. Soon it was silenced.
"Shhh. No need to wake the others." He whispered.
End Chapter.
