This was intended to be Kouga/Original Character. Bran was supposed to find out that she was a wolf demon within the next chapter or so, but I had a major lack of plot. When she was less than a year old, she was kidnapped by wolves, and that tramatized her in an unshown way. She'd neve quite fit in, so she went to find out who she was. Turned out, when she had been tramatized, she beacame afraid of wolves. Of course, she got over it completly after a few years, and then she started to visit the wolves. The night of her tramatization, she suppresed her demon part of her, making her human until she was old enough to handle it. She didn't just go from Transilvainian to Japanese. What happened was that she picked up the language as she went along, and she spent quite some time learning Japanese before meeting InuYasha and Co. Yes, she has never had noodles until then. Why? Because she was unfortunate enough to have missed any meals that included them. I say that they didn't have noodles where she came from.

Summary: Bran was a normal girl raised in Transylvania who happened to have been kidnapped by wolves as an infant. She was returned to her village a year later, but she was different. Even as a child they could tell. She had a strong connection to nature, and often claimed to be able to see through the eyes of birds. The wolf pack that lived near the village never attacked her, no matter how close she got. Instead, they welcomed her. When she got older, she went on a quest to discover who she was, and to explore the world. She didn't go alone, her bird friend Charon and wolf friend Fell came with her. She had been traveling for a year when she arrived in Japan. There, her life changed forever.
To be a Hanyou Without Knowing Part One
A young girl trudged through the snow, strands of her dark brown hair flying in front of her golden eyes. She pulled her long, thick, black cloak loser as trudged on.
We need to find shelter a voice echoed in her mind
"I'm looking, I'm looking," she told the voice. The voice that had echoed in the girl's mind belonged to one of her traveling companions, an all black wolf named Fell. Her other traveling companion was a flacon name Charon.
Hurry up shouted the bird's voice in her mind. He was very impatient and very cold.
"I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying"
I still don't understand why you haven't asked for Larka's Blessing once while passing through other people's territory
"These are humans, Fell, not wolves. We do things differently."
"What is it Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha sniffed the air.
"A demon, smells like a wolf demon," he growled.
"Is it Kouga"
"No"
"Do you think it's Ayame, again, coming to tell me to stay away from him?" she laughed. "I don't like him like that"
"It isn't her, either. I'm going out to find it," he said, taking the Tetsusaiga with him as he got up and went outside.
"I'm coming too," Kagome said, grabbing her bow and quiver as she ran after him.
Someone's coming Charon told Bran as he noticed to figures in the distance. One was clothed in red, while the other in green.
"How many?" she asked.
Two
"Does either look like that Sessh guy we fought a few days ago?" she questioned, remembering the man with long silver hair, red marking on his face, a big and fluffy white thing, and his bad attitude. He had attacked her, calling her a demon tresspassing on his lands, and so she had fought back. She would have lost, too, if Fell hadn't bitten him so she could get away.
I can smell them. One smells like a human, but the other smells much like him. Be on your guard, Bran Fell warned.
"I will," she assured.
"Stay at Keads hut, Kagome," Inuyasha told her as she followed him
"What if you get hurt?" she reasoned
"Go back," he ordered
"I'm coming and there's nothing you can do about it," she said stubbornly
"Just don't get hurt"
"I won't"
"The smell's coming from this way," he said, taking off towards the left
Bran stopped. If someone was going to attack, she wanted to be ready. "Which way are they coming from?" she asked.
They are coming from ahead. You should be able to see them soon Charon told her
"Thank you," she said, taking off her cloak. The wind had died down and it had stopped snowing. She could last, she wasn't very cold anymore anyways. she was wearing a new brown and green kimono, specially made so that the bottom was bigger, giving her more room to move. She was fine with her old clothes, the ones she had brought with her from home, but her recent fight had made them too unwearable. She had many knives hidden on her body, they were her favorite weapon, but she used her sword more often when she fought. And she didn't fight much, or at least, she did't use to. Her sword dhung from her belt, along with her money bag, and rested nicely on her hip. Ready to fight if nessicary, she waited.
"We're almost there. The scent is getting stronger." Inuyasha said as he ran. "Do you sense any shards, Kagome"
"No"
"Then this shouldn't be too hard"
"Don't get too cocky, Inuyasha" Kagome said as she ran into him. He had stopped. "Why did you- oh" she said, see what he was looking at. It was a girl with long brown hair that went to her knees. She was wearing a brown and green kimono, and an all black wolf stood beside her.
"What do you want here?" Inuyasha called out.
"That isn'thim," she told Fell, slightly relieved that she didn't have to worry about that guy.
It smells a lot like him, though
"But it isn't him"
Just don't back down. We don't know he can't change his appearance Fell warned
"Shelter," she said. "I am in search of shelter"
"Why should we offer shelter to a demon?" Inuyasha called back, drawing the Tetsusaiga. To his suprise, she didn't draw her own weapon.
"I do not know why you call me a demon, but I am of harm only if you attack me first" she called
"You smell like one"
"You smell like the person who attacked me recently"
"If you can smell me, you're a demon"
"You smell like stinky fish to me, Fell is the one who can smell you." she stroked the wolf's head absently.
"Who is this Fell"
"Fell is the wolf beside me"
"As if you could actually communicate with a wolf," he scoffed
"Then I suppose cannot see through the eyes of birds, then, either." she questioned sarcasticlyas she held up her arm and a bird landed on it. "Have you found shelter yet, Charon?" she asked, tuning her attenion to him.
No
"Alright then. Rest on Fell's back for a while. You'll be safe there." she told him
"Don't you ignore me, wench!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran up to attach. Fell, with Charon on his back, ran off to safety. He knew that she wanted to fight on her own, and that he would be close enough to help if needed. They got out of the way just before Inuyasha yelled, "Wind Scar!" The girl managed to jump out of the way as well.
"Why attack me from afar?" she taunted. "Afraid to be beaten in hand-to-hand combat?" It really wasn't like her, but she wanted to know how good his fighting skills were compared to the other person's. She also knew that she couldn't fight against that type of attack.
"You callin' me a coward?" he roared
"Maybe"
"You'll pay for that, bitch!" he charged to attack directly with the Tenseiga. Kagome was watching this all, and she felt sorry for the girl. She was sure Inuyasha would rip her to shreds. But the girl suprised Kagome. She pulled out her own sword and blocked his attack as he brought the Tetsaiga down from above his head. He tried to hit her again, aiming at her legs this time. She blocked that as well. The fight continued like that for a few more minutes, him attacking, her blocking. She never once actually attcked, but she studyed him. Watching his every move. Kagome watched as the girl loosened her grip on her sword, and attacked. Inuyasha blocked, and her sword flew from her hands. Inuyasha hit her with the blunt side of the Tetsusaiga. That would leave a mark. She didn't fight like a demon, so there was a good chance she wasn't one. While she was down, she grabbed the knife she had hidden on her right wrist. She jumped up and kicked the Tetsusaiga from his grasp. While she was still in the air, she kicked him, hitting him square in the chest and knocking him down. Quickly, she straddled him and held the knife above his heart. She saw emotion in his eyes, but she didn't know wat kind. Fear maybe, but for what se didn't know. Anger, for being so stupid and being beaten by a girl. Sorrow, for his pride being crushed.
"You shouldn't have gotten so cosky and let your guard down." she whispered evily, a glint in her eyes. Kagome, unsure of what that girl was capable of, strung and arrow onto her bow. Pulling the string, she aimed for the girl's right shoulder, and let it fly. It hit it's mark dead on. When it hit her, her arm went bckwards, making the knife go flying. Taking advantage of this, Inuyasha pushed her off and grabbed the Tetsusaiga. Her brought it up over his head, and prepared to strike. Just as he was about to bring it down, Kagome grabbed the girl and pulled her out of the way.
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" she yelled. That ought to keep him away for a little while, she thought as she pulled the arrow out and began to bandage it with badages from her backpack. She didn't bandage it as well as she could have, that would take time, and they were close, so it only had to hold long enough to get her to Kead's hut.
"She tried to kill me and you want to help her?" Inuyasha growled irritably from the ground.
"No person should die like that, Inuyasha. I'm going to go gather her weapons, I want you to carry her back to Kead's, alright?" Kagome asked him.
"I don't wanna," Inuyasha said stubbornly.
"Si-" she started
"Fine. I'll carry her." he agreed.
"Good." she replied. As Kagome was looking for the girl's knife, after she found the sword, the wolf and bird came back. "Hey," she said, and they came a little closer. Fell didn't trust this girl, she had hurt Bran, though he knew she was only tryig to protect her mate. She had also helped Bran afterwards, but he still didn't trust her. She found the knife, and he trotted after her, with Charon flying low, as she headed back.
Two fights in a week. That's more than she used to get into in two years, Fell thought. I really don't like this place.
Part Two
Converstions
When they reaced Kaede's hut, Inuyasha put the girl on one of the mats before going back outside. Kagome went to go find Kaede. She found Kaede looking up at the sky behind her home.
"Ah, a nice day, isn't it child?" Kaede asked as Kagome walked up.
"Yes, I suppose it is. But you're needd inside. Inuyasha went to fight a demon, and she got hurt. I was hoping you could help her," Kagome told Kaede
"Of course, child. Ye can tell me all about wat happened as I tend to her wounds," Kaede said as she headed back inside.
After aving made sure that Miroku was nowhere near the girl, they stripped off her clothes, so that they could wash out her wounds. They found numerous knives hidden on her body, as if prepared to go secretly into a war. They also found many scrapes, scabs, gashes and scars all over her body.
"Aye, it must 'ave been a bloody battle, child," Kaede commented when she saw the wounds.
"Inuyasha didn't give her these, LadyKaede. She blocked most of his attacks,"
"Then they must be from another recent fight" The scars were located mostly on her arms and legs, and some on her back, but one things they didn't understand. She had a patch of hair on her stomach, just above her belly button. It was brown, and was much like the hair of a wolf. And it seemed to grow naturally from the spot.
"Why do you think she has that hair, LadyKaede?" Kagome asked
"I do not have even the faintest of ideas, child. Perhaps she can tell us when she wakes. Now, why don't you tell me about the fight while we work, eh?" Kaede replied
"Alright"
Kagome told the story while they cleaned and redressed the girl's wound. When she got to the end, she got some suprising news. Apparently, Kagome had put some of her miko power into the arrow she shot at the girl, but nothing intending to hurt her. Instead, she willed the arrow to keep her from hurting Inuyasha. Kaede also told her why she thought Kagome hadn't wanted Inuyasha hurt.
"I'm telling you, I only wanted her away because she was trying to kill him!" Kagome protested
"If you say so, child," Kaede replied
"I don't love him, Kaede," she insisted
"The arrow tells a different story" Kaede countered softly as hse finsihed dressing the wound
"Hmph" Kagome huffed and went outside
"Young love," Kaede murmured as she pulled as blanket over the girl
"What are you guys talking about?" Kagome asked as she walked up to the group, who were sitting and talking.
"Inuyasha says the girl you two brought back is working with Sesshomaru to get the Tetsusaiga from Inuyasha," Sango informed her. "I don't believe it"
"She mentioned Sesshomaru when we first got there, and she seemed to be waiting for someone,"
"That doesn't mean she's trying to help Sesshomaru get the Tetsusaiga," Miroku reasoned
"She smelled like Sesshomaru!" She's part of his plan to get the Tetsusaiga!" Inuyasha yelled, upset that his friends didn't believe him. He stormed off into the trees.
"Eh. He'll come back," Shippo assured Kagome. "Anyways, what happened? We only got Inuyasha's exagerated version" Shippo said, pleading with her to tell them
"Well..." she started, and told them all what appened, including her conversation with Kaede
"You did WHAT?" Sango yelled when Kagome got to the part about shooting the girl with the arrow.
"She was going to kill him, I couldn't let him die like that. I- I love him," she finished quietly before blushing when she realized wt she had said.
"I knew it!" Shippou exclaimed happily. "You two are perfect for each other"
"He's right, Kagome," Miroku added
"But I- he- we- he doesn't like me like that," she muttered sadly
"How do you know that?" Sango asked
"I just do"
"-I love him," Inuyasha heard Kagome tell the others softly. He had been listening, but only slightly. It was those words that caught his attention. So she loves the wolf demon, does she? Then he can have her, Inuyasha thought. But why do I feel as if one of those loud things with wheels from her time fell on me?
Back in the hut, Kaede heard scratching at her door. Getting up from beside the girl, she went and opened the dorr. To her suprise, she saw a back wolf and a falcon. Door now open, they rused inside, heading straight for the girl. The wolf promptly lay down beside her, protectively. The bird landed beside her head and rubbed it's beak lovingly against her cheek. Sighing, Kaede closed the door and went back over. They weren't going to hurt the girl.
"When do you think she'll wake up?" Kagome asked
"I do not know, child. She has been asleep for two weeks, almost," Kaede informed her worriedly. "Though she is getting better."
"I hope she wakes up soon, there are so many things I want to ask her," she exclaimed. "I'll be back later, 'kay? I sense a jewel shard near, and Miroku said the village claims a demon attacked recently. We're going to investigate. Bye!" she called as she ran off after the others.
"Be safe, child," Kaede said as Kagome dissappeared. "Be safe"
"Where am I?" a small, drowsy voice asked. Kaede turned around and saw the girl trying to sit up.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, child," Kaede warned in a motherly way
"Why not?" she questioned
"You are hurt,"
"That's never stopped me before," she protested
"What is your name, child?"
"Bran"
"Well then, Bran, do you remember what happened?"
"I was fighting someone. I tried to k-kill him, and then I remember pain. I didn't hurt him, did I?" she asked, scared that she had killed him.
"No, child. Only his pride"
"That's nice, but where am I?" she asked again
"I am Lady Kaede, the village miko. This is my home."
"What is a miko?"
"A miko is a priestess, child"
"Goodnight" she murmured as she drifted off to sleep
"Sleep well, Bran," Kaede whispered before getting up to do her day's work.
"Has she woken up yet?" Kagome asked when she and the others got back.
"Yes. She woke for a few minutes this morning," Kaede told the young girl.
"Did you fnd out her name?" Sango questioned
"She gave it as Bran," Kaede answered
"What about the bird and the wolf?" Miroku added
"She did not mention them. She wished to know what had happened"
"But it was a shoulder wound, not a head wound," Kagome protested.
"She remembered the fight, but did not know the outcome."
"Oh. Well, how is she?"
"Good, she will probably wake again tonight, and be up and walking by tomorrow," Kaede said as she got up. "I'm going to start dinner, would you go get some vegetables from the garden?"
"Kaede, I think she's waking up!" Sango called as the girl stirred. She had volunteered to watch over Bran until she woke up, and she was to alert them if she did. Hearing her, Kaede, Miroku, Shippou, Kagome, and a reluctant InuYasha came quickly.
"Am I in hell?" she asked when she opened her eyes.
"Why would you think that?" Kagome asked, concerned
"Because he's here," Bran said, refferring to InuYasha, who was standing over her.
"This isn't hell, but you're going to wish it were by the time I'm done with you," InuYasha growled
"SIT BOY!" Kagome yelled and InuYasha's face hit the floor, causing Bran to jump slightly in surprise. "InuYasha isn't going to hamr you," Kagome assured her.
"I'm Shippou," a little boy said. No, he wasn't a little boy, he had ears and a tail.
"Ah!" she squeaked when she saw him. "Oh, you aren't scary," she said, giggling slightly to herself.
"That runt couldn't be scary if his life depended on it," InuYasha scoffed
"That wasn't nice, InuYasha"
"So?"
"Sit,"
"Oof"
"Will you bear my children?" Miroku asked. This got everyone's attention. It was often quite entertaining to watch the girls' reactions. Miroku waited for the slap that was sure to come, but it never did. This confused them, he always got at least a slap out of the girls, but she didn't slap him. They looked down at her with interest, she was laughing. "What's so funny?"
"Male stupidity" she laughed.
"Ah, so, will you?"
"No," she replied, still giggling.
"Are you hungry?" Kagome asked
"Starving," Bran replied
"Mmmm. This is good. What is it?" Bran asked as she tried to eat a noodle. They had brought her a bowl of Ramen and vegetables left over from dinner.
"Noodles. You've never had them before?" Kagome asked, surprised that this girl hd never eaten noodles.
"No. We don't have them where I'm from,"
"Then what do you eat?" Shippou questioned.
"Meats. Sometimes vegetables, and bread when I was at my village," Bran replied off handedly. "I didn't spend much time at my village, I was usually with the local wolf pack,"
"If you spent so much time with wolf demons, you'd know you were one," InuYasha, of course, scoffed
"Wolf demons? I'm talking about wolves,"
"Feh." Bran yawned and shut her eyes, falling asleep instantly. It had been an exhausting day.
Author's Note:
I'm probably not supposed to post these as whole chapters, but I don't think it'll be read otherwise.
I will NOT be continueing To Be A Hanyou Without Knowing. Why? It doesn't have a plot, and I can't think of one for it. If you want to know what would have happened, I'll post it further down the page.

Part Three
What Would Have Happened:
Bran would have slowly had her senses heighten, and wake up one morning with wolf ears and a tail.
She would have met Kouga and he would have fell in love with her.
She would have gone to the Wolf Den to tell Kouga that Kagome had chosen InuYasha over him, and Kouga would have snatched Fell and threatened to kill him if Bran wouldn't be his mate.
I didn't have anything really planned after that, as this was mostly just supposed to tell the life of a girl who found out she was a hanyou. It would have been better than it sounds. If you want to try to write this story yourself, giving any twists you like, go ahead. I don't own The Sight or InuYasha, so I cna't tell you what to do. And it would be awesome to read someone else take on this.
On a happier note, I will be starting another story. It's called You Wouldn't Understand...I'm Not Who I Am. This one will be three parts, and it actually has a plot. The second part will be a crossover. The third is the ending.
Basiclly, Naraku has been defeated, and Kagome decides to go back home. When she get's there, everything is different. The only way to get her life back, is by going on a quest. On the way, she meets mysterious and cocky Daisuke. Traveling together in modern-day Japan, they may find more than what they're looking for.
The summary sucks, I know, but it's hard to write a version of it that doesn't give away too much of the story. I hope you'll all check it out when I get it up.
