New Found Friends

Yawn "It sure is a nice day today, right Inuyasha?" Kagome yawned.

"Feh," Inuyasha replied simply.

They walked on in silence until about noon, they then set up lunch and ate.

As they were packing up Kagome asked, "Hey do you guys smell that?"

"No, what are you talking about?" came the replies of Miroku, Sango, and Shippo, Inuyasha was too busy sniffing the air.

"I can, Kagome lets go." Inuyasha said as he motioned for Kagome to get on his back.

She obediently listened, and got on. Kirara transformed, and the others got on her back. They took off, and Inuyasha pulled far ahead so he could ask Kagome a few questions.

"Kagome, how could you smell that?" Inuyasha asked.

"What do you mean? It doesn't smell like it's very far away," Kagome was confused.

"That smell is about a mile away."

"What! You're joking right?"

"No, I'm not."

"What is it? It stinks."

"Well I'm not sure, but I think it's blood."

At that time they reached the area in which they smelt the blood. Kagome gasped, Inuyasha said nothing and just covered his nose. Seconds later the others arrived.

They all were greeted with a gruesome sight.It was what used to be a normal field but now it had many craters, and debris was scattered everywhere. They now new where the smell of blood had come from; there were dead bodies scattered everywhere.

"What happened here?" shippo asked as he came to the front of the group.

He was soon answered as a deep growl came from one of the craters to their right and a giant bear-like demon raised its head out of the crater and looked at them. Inuyasha was the first to act he took out the tetsusaiga, jumped over to the bear demon, and used his wind scar on it. He sliced it in half. He looked around on the ground and picked up a tiny thing that shimmered a blackish-purple color.

"Ooh, yeah, another shard!" Kagome exclaimed.

She looked at Inuyasha, and he was actually smiling at her. She smiled back.

Once he came back he gave her the shard and she put it with the others.

"Well now that that's done lets-" Kagome started, but stopped when she and Inuyasha both smelt a new smell; lavender and roses.

"Do you smell that too Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah it's coming from that way." Kagome whispered as she started to unknowingly walked towards the smell.

"Kagome come back!" shippo yelled as he ran after Kagome.

Inuyasha jumped landed next to Kagome. Miroku, Sango, and Kirara stayed where they were, because they were still trying to work out how Kagome could pick up that scent. They came to a clearing the three saw two unconscious men laying down with bandages all over their bodies, and an unconscious girl with a bandage around her forehead. Another girl that had silver hair with black streaks in it, walked into the clearing carrying a jug of water.

"Oh, hello there," she said with a soft voice.

"huh? Oh, hi," Kagome stuttered, "Sorry, we didn't mean to intrude."

"It's perfectly fine." The girl assured them.

"Shippo, go get the others." Inuyasha ordered.

"Okay," he chimed as he bounced off to find the others.

"I know you might not want to answer this, but what happened out there?" Kagome asked.

"It's a long story," she replied.

"We have time. We could wait for the others to get here, and then Sango and I could help you care for the other three while you tell the story." Kagome reasoned.

"I don't see anything wrong with that plan, okay," she thoughtfully exclaimed.

Kagome started working on the unconscious girl, and the concious one asked her what she was using and Kagome told her story.

"Wow, so you are from the future?"

"Yep, sure am."

"So that would explain the clothes, the big yellow thing, and the ointment you are using."

"Uh, huh,"

Kagome smelt Sango and called out "Hi guys!"

"How do you do that?" Miroku asked.

"To tell you the truth, I have no idea."

"Well it's really starting to bug me," Sango sighed.

Kagome got up and picked up her bag to go start working on the man with black hair.

"Whoa, this thing is a lot lighter now. Wait, how can all this be happening? First I can smell things now I can lift heavy things easier, what's next?" she sighed, "Something strange is happening to me."

"We can figure that out later; right now I want to hear your story," Inuyasha said pointing to the girl.

"First off, I'd appreciate it if you called me by my name. Oh, I never told it to you did I? It's Sakimi. And the man with black hair that you're caring for now Kagome is Arami, the other man with silver hair is my brother Kushimi, and last but not least Nigimi with beautiful brown hair. Well it all started when we were born. Apparently we have a very meaningful destiny that's supposed to help the reunion of the shikon no tama, or sacred jewel."

"You mean this thing?" Kagome asked as she pulled out the fragment of the jewel.

"Yes, how did you get that?"

"Um, well, I'm sort of the one that shattered it. He he," she replied.

"Oh… Well continuing on. We were all born on the same day, and somehow our parents knew of our destiny, and named us what we are named, the four things that make up a pure soul. Our stories well we will tell them to you separately. My story will come after I tell you what happened out there. First though, did you happen to see a girl about the age of fourteen that wore all green out there?" they all shook their heads. "That's good, that means she wasn't killed,"

"Who is she and why are you concerned about her?" Sango asked.

"She is Emarine, She grew up with Nigimi, Married to Arami, and she is our guardian and mentor. I always knew there was something special about her, but I can never put my finger on it."

"How old are you?" Shippo blurted out, "You don't necessarily look to be marring age."

Thud.

"Shippo that's so rude!" Inuyasha yelled as he hit him.

"Oh like you don't know what it is to be rude, Mr. I'm so tough." Kagome said with a hint of sarcasm.

"It's ok, I don't mind, but that will come at a later time." Sakimi sighed, "We were living in a peaceful village together. That is until that bear demon came. That field used to be our village. I'm guessing that we are the only survivors and of course Emarine if she didn't die while fleeing. We fought, but couldn't win. Sometime in the midst of battle Emarine disappeared. Arami of course wanted to go look for her, but we assured him that she would be fine. After a while only a few villagers were left and Arami and Kushimi were too badly wounded to continue fighting. So Nigimi and me drug them to this clearing. She bandaged my brother and then fell unconcious. And that's the story of the battle. Did the villagers defeat the bear?"

"No they didn't, everyone was dead but Inuyasha killed it," Miroku answered.

"You are the monk Miroku, with the cursed left hand?" she asked.

"Yes I am the monk, but it's my right hand that's cursed." He clarified.

"You are the demon slayer from the village in which the jewel was born, Sango right?"

"Yes" was Sango's reply.

"You are the kitsune pup, Shippo."

"Yes"

"That is Kirara."

"Yep"

"Tell me Sango why is it that you do not slay these three?"

At this Inuyasha and Kirara's ears perked up.

"Because I trust them, why else?" she answered.

"But why didn't you slay them at first?"

"I've known Kirara from as far back as I can remember, shippo and Inuyasha; I guess the fact that two humans were traveling with them was proof enough that they weren't going to hurt me."

"Be as truthful as possible on this one, why didn't you slay me or my group before I told you of my history?"

Sango gave no reply.

"Just as I thought, the death of your village, and traveling with these demons and half-demon has softened you to were you do not know a good demon from a bad one, no offence to either of you three."

"Wait you said slay you, does that mean…" Inuyasha asked.

"Yes I am a demon, half to be precise." Was her answer.

"I couldn't smell the demon in any of you until just now" He admitted.

"That's because we learned to control our scent even when we are asleep, we learned at a very young age."

"So now that we know you're a half-demon may we know your age?" Shippo asked again.

"Yes," she said with a smile, as you know we were all born on the same day, so we are all 240 years old but as you can see we only look to normal sixteen year olds."

"Wow, you guys are almost as old as Inuyasha, he's 250." Kagome exclaimed.

"Hey, I'm not old!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Hm… lets see I'm 15, Sango is 18, Miroku is 20 And I think shippo is really 50 even though he looks to be about 5 or 6. I'm starting to think that 250 is old compared to the rest of us!" Kagome said with attitude.

"She has a point Inuyasha." Sakimi chimed.

"Ah, who asked your opinion, woman?" Inuyasha called as he jumped up into a tree to skulk.

"Why do you always retreat into the trees when something isn't going your way?" Sakimi asked.

She jumped up into the tree and landed right in front of Inuyasha, and fixed her eyes on his face so that he was staring right into hers. She had piercing jade green eyes. They were silent for a moment and then Sakimi sat down next to Inuyasha and asked very quietly so the others couldn't here their conversation.

"Your mother was buried under a tree and you feel as if you're a child again being held in her arms don't you?" she said.

"Feh."

"There is no use faking it; I can see it in your eyes."

"Yeah, she was human and my father was demon. The only thing I have to remember them by is my memories and this sword."

"I know how you feel, my parents died when I was only four. That's when Kushimi and I had to learn to cover up our scent, so that we could look for the other three without being treated worse."

She then leapt down. Inuyasha thought about what she had said and then followed.

"It's getting late, would you like to stay here tonight?" Sakimi asked.

"Only if there is enough room." Inuyasha said.

The others looked at him as if he were crazy.

"I guess I'm not the only one that changed." Kagome stated simply and shrugged.

Shippo crawled up on Inuyasha's shoulder, "Are you all right Inuyasha? What did she say to you to make act like this?"

"Give it a rest will ya?" Inuyasha said.

Shippo braced himself for impact with Inuyasha's hand but it never came. He opened one eye and saw as close to normal Inuyasha could get. He jumped off and ran over to Kagome and jumped on her shoulder.

"Inuyasha?" She asked.

"What do you want?" He replied in an annoyed voice.

Kagome became quiet.

"Are you finished?" Sakimi asked.

"Yeah." Inuyasha answered.

"Good, and yes there is enough room for you to stay here tonight." She said.

They ate and went to sleep. Inuyasha stayed up and continued the talk with Sakimi they had started earlier. Kagome fell asleep but soon woke up and listened to the two's conversation.

"So you were a Princess?"

"Yes,"

"That would make your brother a lord then?"

"Yes."

'Wow, she's a princess? No wonder she could like read our minds' Kagome thought.

"I don't think anybody has realized it, but since my father was lord of the west. It makes me a lord."

There was a long pause.

"You don't like your brother do you?"

"Well, he isn't really my brother, because we have different mothers we are only half-brothers."

"I see."

There was another long pause.

"Why do you need the sacred jewel?"

"To become a full demon of course."

"That is why you want it; there is a big difference between wanting and needing. I will ask you again; why do you need the jewel."

There was another long pause.

"I guess I don't really need it; but I don't want to be a half-demon anymore, I want to be respected."

"You are respected Inuyasha, your friends respect you."

"I know, but I want Sesshomaru to respect me and the only way to get him to do that is to become a full demon."

"If you use the sacred jewel to become a full demon you will be known as the half-breed that used the sacred jewel to become a full demon, not the Inuyasha, son of the demon lord of the west. Besides I can tell that Kagome loves you as you are, besides who's to say you wont become evil and kill the other when you become full demon? Do you see what I am trying to say?"

Inuyasha was silent for about a minute then he spoke.

"Not really."

"Sleep on it; you will in the morning."

"Hey, Sakimi," Inuyasha started, but Kagome fell asleep before she could figure out what he said next.

I'm sorry for not updating sooner, but with school starting and all I haven't had time to make this chapter. So here I am August 27th at 2:00 am finishing this chapter. I'm so tired so I'm going to bed
