Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha


Inuyasha rubbed his neck.

"Sat three times in one day," Taka smirked, "new record."

"Urasai," Inuyasha growled.

The two hanyous were now human for the rest of the night. Sesshomaru decided to stay and earlier on Jaken and Rin flew overhead on A-Un so they were also there. Sesshomaru sniffed.

"Naraku's youkai are nearby."

"I'll take care of them," Sango said as she picked up the Hirakotsu.

"Alright," agreed Inuyasha and Taka.

"Sango-chan... are you sure you'll be alright alone?" asked Kagome.

"Don't worry Kagome-chan," Sango put a hand on Kagome's shoulder, "I'll be fine."

She went into the forest and changed into her taijai outfit.

"Kirara!" she called.

Kirara mewed and transformed.

"I'll be back soon," Sango called as the two-tailed and her ran off.

"Was it wise to let your human friend go off alone, Inuyasha," asked Sesshomaru.

"Hai, she's strong," Inuyasha grabbed Shippo's fish and began eating it.

"Oi Inuyasha!" exclaimed Shippo.

"Urasai!" Inuyasha warned.

Shippo growled and plopped down angrily.

"Oh Inuyasha," sighed Kagome.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and continued eating.

xXx Toshi xXx

Toshi stood behind a tree.

"Come on Kirara!" she heard Sango urge.

She poked her head out and waited.

'The youkai should keep her company for awhile,' she thought as she walked over to the camp.

She took her time so she arrived around fifteen minutes later. She stood at the border and forced tears. She walked into the clearing.

"Sango!" Miroku stood as soon as he seen Toshi's forced tears.

"Oh, Miroku," she fake sobbed.

"What happened?" Kagome asked her friend.

"It was horrible," Toshi continued.

"What happened, love?" Miroku hugged her so that Toshi's back was facing Kagome and the others.

"Kirara... she... she..."

"What?" asked Kuragari.

"She died! It was horrible. The youkai encircled her when she saved me from them and suffocated her in miasma," Toshi continued, "now all my family is lost."

"Don't say that... Kohaku is still alive... we'll get him back," Miroku soothed.

"You're right..." Toshi flexed her claws (that she had when she wanted them out since she is still youkai).

She was close to ripping at Miroku through his back. But...

"Miroku!" Sango and Kirara burst out of the forest.

Toshi released Miroku, flipped back and grabbed her mirrored Hirakotsu. She stood in battle stance with a scowl on her face.

"Sango?" Miroku looked at both.

Sango jumped off Kirara and threw the Hirakotsu at Toshi. Toshi lifted her own and blocked the attack.

"Who are you!" Sango demanded.

"Forgot me already?" Toshi smirked, "Don't you remember me? Toshi?"

"Toshi!" Taka snarled.

"Why are you taking Sango's form? And how?" demanded Miroku.

"She seemed so strong and quite pretty too," Toshi flipped her hair a bit, "and my name."

"Huh?" Inuyasha was officially confused.

"My name, Toshi, means 'mirror reflection,'" she explained like Naraku had explained to her, "I can mirror anyone of you, male or female."

Sango growled.

"And I know everything about each of you," she looked around at everyone.

"You don't know anything about me!" Sango exclaimed.

"Oh but I do. Poor Kohaku... the other taijia, all slain by Kohaku himself," Toshi smirked.

"Enough!" Sango cried.

"And the fragment of the Shikon no tama in his back... the only thing keeping him alive."

A chain was heard. Kohaku stepped from the forest. His eyes blank.

"Kohaku!" Sango was about to go to him.

"No you don't," Toshi snapped.

Sango stopped when Toshi held her sword to the young boy's neck. She growled. Toshi removed the sword and put an arm around Kohaku.

"I would never allow anyone to hurt my brother," she said with a smirk.

"Keep your hands off of him!" Sango exclaimed.

"Don't you mean... your hands?"

"Kohaku!" Sango cried, "get away from her! She's dangerous!"

"Oh, don't say that," Toshi said, "I would never hurt my brother."

"Enough taunting her!" Kuragari snarled as he jumped at Toshi.

Toshi moved Kohaku so he'd be her shield. Kuragari stopped and landed.

"Aneue?" Kohaku whispered.

Sango gasped when he looked at her. His eye went from blank to clear again.

"Aneue!" he kicked away from Toshi and was about to run to Sango.

Toshi grabbed his leg and tripped him.

"Let go of him!" Sango exclaimed.

Toshi tightened her grip and made him stand again. Kohaku cried out and stabbed his weapon into Toshi. Toshi gasped and looked at the wound. She growled and threw Kohaku at a tree. Kohaku cried out again and hit it. He slipped to the ground.

"Kohaku!" Sango ran over to him and embraced him.

"Aneue..." he whispered before he passed out.

Toshi ripped the weapon out and poison insects came and merged with her body, healing the wound.

"Why don't you and Kohaku both go join your pathetic family!" she snarled as she threw the mirrored Hirakotsu at Sango and Kohaku.

Sango watched helplessly as the large boomerang flew at her.

"Sango-san!" Miroku opened the kazanna.

"I wouldn't do that monk," Toshi hissed as poison insects flew from the trees.

Miroku closed it with a growl. Sesshomaru extended his poison claw and whipped the mirrored Hirakotsu down.

"Enough of your stupidity," he growled.

Toshi growled. Sango picked up Kirara and gave him to Kirara to take care of. She picked up the Hirakotsu. She ran at Toshi with it. Toshi jumped out of the way. Toshi drew her sword and ran at Sango. Sango used the Hirakotsu and blocked her. Sesshomaru ran at Toshi and slashed at her with his poison claw. A mixture of poison and miasma shrouded the area. Sango ran to Kohaku and put his mask along. She put her own on also. Miroku, Kuragari, Inuyasha, and Taka covered their faces with their kimono sleeves. Kuragari held Kagome so her face was on his chest. Jaken also had his face covered. Sesshomaru looked back at Rin, who was coughing, and ran back at her taking her away from the cloud. A-un followed and wrapped around Rin protectively. Toshi stepped from the cloud.

"Inuyasha we have to get out of here!" Miroku called from under his sleeve.

Inuyasha nodded. Isamu took Taka and Inuyasha. Kirara waited for Sango to get on with Kohaku and Miroku before she followed Isamu. Kuragari picked up Kagome and bounded away. Sesshomaru entered the cloud and dragged Jaken out.

"A-un..." Sesshomaru started, "take Rin and Jaken," he tossed and unconscious Jaken on A-un.

A-un nodded and flew off. Sesshomaru ran. Toshi watched them and growled.

'They escaped,' she thought, 'next time they won't,' she turned and went the opposite way.

The group stopped where they thought it was safe.

"She's not following," Sesshomaru assured, "I turned to check but there is no scent and I couldn't hear anything."

"If I wasn't human right now!" Taka growled.

"You'd what?" asked Inuyasha as he raised an eyebrow at her.

"I'd kick the shit out of that..." she got cut of by Sesshomaru's hand over her mouth.

"If you didn't realize," he started, "there's a child in the area."

Taka looked at Rin.

"Oh. Yeah I kinda forgot," she mumbled under the youkai's hand.

He scoffed and brought his hand away. Taka grinned while Inuyasha snickered.

'Kohaku,' thought Sango as she stroked her brother's hair, 'how can I release you from Naraku's grasp?'

A young woman walked out from the forest. She had white hair, a white tattered dress, and beautiful light blue eyes. She looked at the group a hand on her chest. Sesshomaru growled.

"Under that pretty face is a reeking scent of Naraku," he warned.

"Please, I am one of Naraku... but I do not slay anyone... I would not dream of it," she whispered.

"How can we trust that!" Inuyasha growled.

"I may be Naraku's first incarnation, Akemi but please... trust me... I will help," the girl looked at them with pleading eyes.
