Chapter 3

Inuyasha was finally away from his group. He liked them but sometimes he need to be alone. He sighed and walked into the woods. As usual the demon followed him in the trees. 'It would be better to travel in the trees instead of the ground as long as I don't make any noise' She thought.

Inuyasha had stopped by a tree and sat down, she stopped right above him. He has felt like he was been followed. A crack was heard from the branch above him. He looked up to see what it was. Suddenly the demon fell from the tree, She closed her eyes and screamed as she fell, the branch missed him but she fell onto his lap.

"What the Fu-" Inuyasha shouted as she made impact.

"Im sorry" She said.

Inuyasha looked at her. I was her again, the girl who he has tripped on earlier. Was she following him? If so, Why?

"Why are you everywhere I am!" Inuyasha shouted.

"Im not doing it on purpose!" She shouted back. She tried to get away but Inuyasha stopped her.

"You move an inch without telling me who the Fuck you are and why the Hell you were following me and Ill chop your Fuckin' head off." As she could tell Inuyasha was pissed. She sighed.

"My names is Sakura Kuraki. I was born in Inuyasha forest and raised in Keade's Village. There... I learned about you." Inuyasha looked at her like he knew her all of his life.

"My father died before he knew my mother was pregnant, so I never got to meet him. My mother always use to say, 'If he had the chance to meet you, he would be proud of everything you've become." She smiled a little, tears streaming down her face.

"Im half demon just like you, I was treated just like you. It was hard but the only thing that kept me going was a tale my mother use to tell me before I went to bed., about a hanyou whose father was lord of the western lands. The demon in the story... was you." She said. Inuyasha was confused. He didn't understand how she knew so much about him if this all happened when she was little.

"Once there was a half demon who was born to royalty. Being half demon he was treated poorly by both humans and demons. My mother told me there could be only one person who could relieve the hanyou from his destined path. I wanted to be that person." Inuyasha looked and her confused and surprised.

" I know that this sounds stupid, hehe, of course it sounds stupid... never mind... I should be going." Sakura turned to leave but Inuyasha grabbed her arm. She turned to him.

"I don't find it stupid, was your mother Mai Kuraki?" Inuyasha asked. She nodded. "I knew her, not personally but I've seen her around."

"Yeah she told me about you. I've seen you around a couple of times too." She said.

Everything grew quiet as the two stood there, like everything else in the world didn't matter until she broke the silence.

"Even though that all happened then, I was in the past. You already found someone, you know, Kikyo's Reincarnation." She looked at him for a moment and then walked off. Suddenly Kagome emerged from the woods. She sat down by the Hanyou.

"Hey" He said still looking in the direction that Sakura went.

"Hey" Kagome replied. "Who was that?" She asked.

"Someone I knew from the past." His gaze changed from the direction Sakura went, to the ground and then to Kagome.

"Oh." She knew that was the only reply she would get from him. "Well dinner is almost ready and I was worried because you didn't come back for lunch."

Inuyasha looked up at the sky. It was getting dark. The animals have already begun to find shelter for the night. The sky was its red, orange and yellow texture. He dwelled on the fact before facing Kagome.

"I didn't notice." He said as he stood up, She did the same. They both walked into the silence of the woods. No one spoke until they were greeted by a waiting Monk and Demon Slayer.

"Inuyasha, where were you?" She asked him.

"Out." He said as he walked into the hut. Miroku followed but the two women stayed out to chat amongst themselves.

"So you saw her again?" He asked.

"Yeah." Was all he got.

"So what did you find out about her?" Miroku was interested in the whole ordeal. Inuyasha told Miroku what had happened and after that a moment of silence drifted over the two. Miroku was first to speak.

"If I were you, id just go on with life and see how everything goes." That is the only thing Miroku could think of saying without sounding perverted or uncaring. Inuyasha nodded. Sango and Kagome walked in with Dinner. They ate in silence again but this time no whispers and mummers.

Finally it was over and everyone had laid down. Everyone was in the hut sleeping except for Inuyasha who sat in a tree and dwelled over the girl. He knew that Miroku's advice was helpful but he couldn't just sit around and wait, he had to do something. Inuyasha jumped out of the tree and walked into the woods... without a trace.
