I don't own Inuyasha.

Rune and Nyukar sat on their hind legs up on a wall as they watched the new workers be dragged out of the portal, some struggling and some unconscious or quiet.

"Those are strange creatures." Rune said, her strong accent making it hard to recognize as the human language, "I don't know why more of our kinds don't volunteer for work."

"I agree," Her raccoon sister Nyukar said, "Making equipment and building is simple." There was almost no accent to her voice and it was easy to tell she had been practicing for a long time.

"You two!" The dog general called from below, holding a girl captive in his paw, "Time to organize them!"

Hopping down from the high stone wall, the raccoons ran over to the workers that were now lined up along a wall and scared.

It was easy to tell what human could do what by looking at how much muscle they had, and it was their job to assign them an occupation.

"All ones that have worked before, raise your paws." Some of the people shakily raised their hands; the only ones looking strong were Kagome, Sango, Inuyasha and Miroku.

"You will be building." Nyukar said while pointing to the scrawny looking ones, "Cleanup duty and getting water for the workers."

"Cooking." The raccoon said while pointing to the teenagers, boys and girls.

"You assholes, like I'm just gonna work for you, I'll get out of here sooner or later!"

Inuyasha spat out at Nyukar with a vicious glare.

"You'll go in the pit until I come for questioning, now guards take him away." Two large birds that one could mistake for demon marched up and grabbed both of the red cloaked arms. "Hey, let me go! I'll get you, I slice you up!"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled going to reach out to him but blocked by Rune's claws, "No, leave him, he'll have no harm."

"Guards put those two in the pit also, they're plotting." More guards came and dragged Sango and Miroku away, Kagome eventually being sent away also because she was screaming their names.

After organizing the rest of them and getting tired of hearing the words Wind Scar, the two sisters ran over to the fairly small pit that was made of bamboo.

"When can we be out of this hole?" Miroku asked with a strained look on his face, while Inuyasha raised his sword, "Wind Sc-"

"Enough!" Rune shouted, "Damned, stop yelling!"

Everyone became silence and Nyukar answered that they would get out after questioning.

"So when is questioning?" Sango said in awkward voice.

"Right now; First off, why is your blood of human and some kind of animal?"

They asked directed towards Inuyasha's direction while he looked like he was going to explode in anger.

"Inuyasha, sit." Kagome said before Inuyasha could respond in anger and make things even more annoying and worse, "His father was half demon, half human."

"Demon?" Nyukar said, new to the term.

"What's a demon?" Rune asked.

"It's an creature that give off an evil aura, it looks like you, like animals..." Sango started while Miroku finished saying: "Only you are animals, not demons."

"So a human and animal can mate?" Nyukar said before shaking her head, "No, studies show that the born one would have flaws, large flaws."

"Perhaps because you are animals not demons."

"But he is dog, none the less."

Looking to the prisoners, the raccoons agreed to let them stay on their living quarters, Inuyasha grumbling and mumbling along the way at the guards who held onto him tightly.

"How did you learn to speak human language?" Miroku asked, his curiosity getting the best of him.

"Easy, had the humans teach us the language."

"All the things here are natural but enhanced," Nyukar explained, knowing the question would come sooner or later, "We created powders, plants, natural things that would make your chopped wood be embarrassed against a single blade of our enhanced grass."

Eyebrows rose and Rune picked up a long strand of grass. "Sango, if you would please demonstrate."

Doing as she was told to do, the demon slayer slammed her boomerang onto the grass, expecting to stumble forward and fall but found herself falling backwards onto her rear.

"I... it bounced back." Sango stammered out, getting back onto her feet and the six of them, including the guards, walking into the tree house that was literally, a tree-house.

Branches were grown in just the right places to use as stairs and they guessed it was from the enhancers.

Some piles of leaves and feathers that were picked from the ground were laid out to form what they called beds, and they sat on their own pile, the guards leaving after being ordered to do so.

"So what are your names?" After being answered the next question came, "Does any one of you besides Inuyasha have... animal blood?" They shook their head.

"Have any special things that need to be treated? Sickness, disease, shortage of food and haven't eaten, or even an aching foot?"

". . . I'm kind of hungry." Inuyasha said, "Have ramen?"

"Noodles, no I'm sorry but we only have plants and meat." Nyukar said, her sister just spinning in the background.

"This is boring." Rune half called, half yelled in boredom as she waited for something exciting to happen, "I need more acorns..."

Kagome sweat-dropped, what kind of world is this? She asked herself before smacking her head, Of course, the one were stuck in.

Naraku watched as the young fox demon scrambled out of the underground cave, yelling for Keade and wailing loudly as he ran. Raising an eyebrow he slowly walked into the passage and his eyes widened.

What? This portal..., He thought, it smells of another place.

Looking behind him slightly before moving forward, Naraku stepped through the shimmering and flickering light and kept moving forward.

'Ah... the door to the other world has finally opened.'

"Keade! Keade! You won't believe what happened to Inuyasha!" Shippo wailed as he clutched onto the elderly woman, "Its horrible!"

"Calm down, child." Keade said in a comforting and scolding tone, "And explain why ye are so terrified."

"These huge animal soldiers came and kidnapped them! Even Kagome and Sango!"

"Animal soldiers, child? What did they look like?"

"I'm not sure, I escaped from Kagome's backpack before they went through the light but they looked like giant animals! I didn't smell any kind of demon odor on them either!"

"Did ye say portal, child?" Keade said before standing up and grabbing her bow, "Come, we must hurry! Take me to the place ye last saw them disappear!"

Transforming into a donkey, Shippo nodded and waited until the elderly woman climbed on, secretly thinking, 'This is so degrading.'
