Have I ever heard of anyone name Inuyasha? Yori thought. Why does he want to know that? Naraku looked at her with intense eyes. "Well? Have you?" he asked again getting impatient. "No, I have not my lord." She said. Which was a little white lie, she had heard of him before, but it was gossip, so she thought better then not mention him. By the way Naraku had said his name, she suspected he did not like him very much. "Well then, that is good" he mused silently.

"Kagura!" he yelled out. The wind demon came out of a corner. She looked at him with the same kind of red eyes as her lord had. "You will bring Yori with you on your little mission." He said. "What?" she asked. "But Naraku she is only a mere human!" she said very surprised. Naraku looked at her angrily. "That is none of your concerns Kagura, now go!" he yelled back. And with that, Yori was now gone with Kagura outside the castle wall. Kagura was mumbling something under her breath as Yori followed her silently.

I better not bother her either… Yori tough to herself. Who knows, maybe I am to call her lady or something… But I don't want to ask either… Oh man, what did I get myself into?

Outside the wind picked up. It was late autumn and winter was very soon to arrive. Yori was obviously cold in her kimono and sandals. But of course, she did not say or complain to anyone. After following Kagura for a while, she demon turned around so fast that Yori walked right into her. "Watch where your going wench!" she yelled out. "I'm so sorry!" she said surprised. Her thinking had taken over her mind. "You see over there?" she asked ignoring her apology. Yori looked.

There was this weird looking girl in a green and white mini outfit, this monk in a blue/black robe, and a demon slayer with this weird looking cat, a mini demon fox and this other demon with long white hair. "Well, that haft hanyou over there, with the white hair, you see him?" Kagura whispered to her. "Yes" Yori said. A haft demon? Really? I've never heard of that before! She quickly turned her attention back to Kagura. "Naraku wants you to go and talk to him." She said. Now Yori was shocked. "Talk to him? As if make a conversation?" she asked. Kagura rolled her eyes. "You are to become his friend okay? That was my order from Naraku. I suggest you to do as he said."

Yori swallowed hard. "Just a suggestion, you should maybe pretend you are sick and go to the monk, he will be glad to help" Kagura said with a smirk. Yori did not like that tone of voice; she had heard it before when Kagura had told her about Naraku and his "relationships". "Now go!" yelled Kagura as she pushed her towards the Inu group…

"Hey Inuyasha, I think I heard somebody." Said Sango, the young demon slayer. Inuyasha sniffed around. "Yeah, I think there is somebody." Answered the haft demon with white hair. "A demon?" asked the young monk Miroku. "No, I think it's a human." Said the young priestess Kagome. "Look!" yelled the fox demon Shippo. They all turned around and meet up with what they saw:

Mirokus view: Hello! A young woman! Hehehe…

Sango view: Great, an other maiden! Miroku don't you even think of it! Jealous face

Kagome view: A village girl? Clueless face

Inuyasha view: What is this? She has the smell of Naraku all over her!

Shippo: Here goes Miroku at it…

"Hey you!" yelled out Inuyasha. "Get over here!" Yori swallowed hard again. I guess I'm going to make friends soon? She slowly walked over to the gang. As she approached, she remembered Kaguras plan. Must pretend I'm hurt! Yori walked as if she had hurt herself and as she approached she saw the monk Kagura had told her about walk up to her. "Are you alright miss?" he asked in a weird cocky grin. Looking around she saw the demon slayer who looked annoyed and angry at the same time. "No, I am not Monk." She said in a cheep voice. Then she decided to fall into his arms. Surprisingly he caught her at the right time. The young women in weird clothes, who people were calling her Kagome, came to see if she was okay. "Miroku! What happened?" she asked worried. "I don't know Kagome, she just fell right into my arms… Hey, maybe she wants to bear my…" he was not able to finish his sentence because Sango hit him on the head with her Hirykotes. "Ouch!" he said. "Miroku! Let go of her, I want to ask her questions about Naraku, she smells like him!" Inuyasha yelled at him. "Now, now guys, let her be, she probably needs rest and food." Kagome said. The three left with Yori as from far away, red glowing eyes were watching with anticipation…

Naraku watched from Kannas mirror as Inuyasha and his little friends left with Yori. Good. He tough, Kagura must have told her my little plan… Not all of it. He grinned. Not the part about what she has to do… Naraku smiled again. All give her a week or so to earn there stupid human trust. Then, she can run along and "borrow" Inuyashas sword… With that, Naraku go up, and started to laugh, as he turned around and called out: "Kagura, my little sweet heart." The demon wind came out. Looking at him, not liking the tone of his voice, he went on; "To my chamber."

Yori was actually very tired and sleep thru the whole night. By morning a pair of blue eyes were staring in her face. "Hello" said Miroku grinning. She looked around, she was alone with him… Not good. "Hi…" she said. "My name is Miroku, and what is yours pretty lady?" Yori blushed and said: "Yori". "Well, Yori, why don't you follow me and all lead you to the water falls so we can…" his voice was cut again by a smack in the back of his head. "Miroku! How can you say something like that to her! You only just meet her!" Kagome said. "Hi, I'm Kagome, don't mind him… Why don't you come outside to eat with us." "Sure" Yori said, and she was hungry after all.

After eating with the gang and learning their names, it was on to her to tell her story. After inventing that she was hurt and had no family, Inuyasha questioned her about her stench of Naraku. "So, why do you smell like him anyways?" he asked. Yori had no clue what to say. "Um, I don't know really. I've never heard of somebody named Naraku." Inuyasha gave her a glare and turned around. "Well guys, we have to go on with our day, so I don't know what were going to do with you, Yori." He said. "Inuyasha! We can't leave her here! She's was hurt! One more day can't hurt!" Kagome said. Yori grinned, and then she replaced it with a frown. That's nice but what does Naraku want me to do? I mean, I must have some sort of mission or something… "Hey Yori you coming?" asked Miroku. "Were going to walk towards the smell of Naraku." He looked at Inuyasha, then added: "Or where to Inuyasha will lead us too."

As the gang started to walk, Yori could not help but think; why is this happening to me? Here I am walking with total strangers who don't even know me and who are totally trusting me. And what am I to do with them? Surely Naraku does not want me to spend the rest of my life with them. So then what am I doing? I'm losing my time… -"Hey Yori? Yori?" called out Miroku again. They had fallen behind the rest of the group. She looked at his goofy smile and weird looking eyes… Oh no! What if he wants too? Like Kagura warned me? She tough. Miroku approached even more beside her. And Yori ran up to where the rest of the group was, leaving him behind.

From far away Naraku looked at Kagura's trembling eyes and whispered in her ear: "Well, that was most refreshing wasn't it?" Kagura did not answer. Naraku got up and said: "I want you to find Yori a week from now, and tell her my little plan. That should give them enough time to gain her trust. Stupid pathetic humans. They trust everyone."

And that is good, because Yori is going to have to trust me.

Here goes another chapter, thank you to all my reviewers.
