Chapter 1 : That Special Someone

Michelle walked on, holing her stomach and trying to stop the bleeding. But little did she know she was only making it worse. Her tears fell and her blood left a trail behind her. She sat down next to a near by tree and supported herself on its trunk. She sat there looking up at the semi dark sky, it was almost dawn. She sniffed the air around her. In the distance she could smell the blood of her own family and friends from the village that was just murdered. She put her knees to her chest and hugged them, still sniffing the air. Now she smelt nothing but her own blood and for some reason… it was nauseating. She sat up and placed her hand on her stomach, then looked up to see her hand stained with her own blood. The memory of erif killing everyone she knew made her tense up and she clinched her fist. "how could he have done that?!? This is a bunch of yoku iu-yo!! That baka-ka!!!" she stood up and was about to walk off when she heard some rustling in the woods. She whipped around and saw another half demon.

"who are you?!!?" they both yelled. "it depend on who's asking and who wants to know!!!" they both growled under their breath, and continued to clinch their fists.

"how dare you kill all those people back in that village!!" the boy yelled. "you don't deserve to live!!!" he charged at her at his full demonic speed making him look like a big fuzzy blur. Michelle got into a fighting position and waited for him to get close enough so she could do one of her attacks on him, but before they both new it the boy fell to the ground by someone yelling:

"INUYASHA!! SIT!!!!!" an oddly dressed girl came out of the woods and walked up to the boy lying in an imprint the fall had made. Michelle noticed this half breed jump to his feet and they started to argue. Michelle's head went back and forth at the comments they made.

"why do you always do that!??!" the boy yelled.

"I wouldn't have to if you wouldn't go around and pick fights with people!!!" they kept it up for another few minutes until michelle smelt something.

"the……the….. Shicon-no-tama…." she murmured. "its here?"

"wha…." inu and the girl said. Michelle went up to them and started to sniff around. Inuyasha knocked michelle off of her feet and yelled at her to get away. She stood up and charged at inu with her claws ready to attack. Inu did nothing, just stood there. And the next thing ant one knew is that blood splattered everywhere. Every one looked around to see who got hit and as soon as they looked at the half demon that was holding her stomach. She winched in pain as she turned around to see who it was.

"erif!" she whispered in a low fear toned voice.

"whats wrong sweetheart? I thought you would be over come to see me? Especially after what I did for you…" erif had a dark soul, along with red eyes, devil horns, wings, and elf ears. He wasn't a typical demon, not a full demon either. He was a hanyou just like michelle and the mutt. But michelle couldn't find the guts to charge at him, she loved him. "and after I spared your life! wouldn't you respect me more!??!"

"I wouldn't give any respect for you, even if my life depended on it!!!" they gave each other an evil stare. Erif stepped over to michelle and grabbed her wrist.

"Mukö-ni itte-yo! (go away! Get lost!)" he pulled her into an embrace. Michelle stood there and her mind went blank. 'what is he doing? I thought…maybe.. Does he still love me?' then inuyasha got a bad feeling and charged at erif.

"you idiot!!! don't fall into his trap!!!" he yelled. 'women there so gullible.'

"inu….inuyasha!!! What are you doing!??! " michelle yelled out. Erif growled as inu sent him sliding back.

"you worthless mutt!!!" erif yelled. "Tottoto dete ike!' (get the frag outta here!) This has nothing to do with you!!"

"sorry, I cant do that!"

"well you better start to!! Because now that I teamed up with my long lost brother naraku, I have the power to kill you all." erif yelled as his body gave out a strong demonic ore and he pulsed.

"no!!! no erif don't!!!" michelle knew what he was tying to do. She remembered that he had saved her life with the 'special' attack.

"so where are we going this late at night erif?" she asked in a giggly voice. She was hoping it was someplace romantic but she also knew that erif wasn't the romantic type.

"you'll see." he replied with a slight smile. " wait." he said pulling michelle behind him. "I smell something." he sniffed around and gave out a low growl. The low toned voice scared michelle and she hugged him from behind nuzzling the back of his shoulder. "what is it?" she asked holding him close.

"wait here." he pulled away from her and began to walk off.

"erif wait!" but it was to late, erif had already disappeared into the horizon. "heh. I can handle it on my own any way." she said trying to sound confident to herself. She then heard something from behind her, a loud footstep. "show yourself!!" she yelled out. nothing happened. Michelle sniffed the air and went along walking to were erif last was. "that noise……" she growled as she heard the step again. Just then a huge demon appeared out of the distance.

"what a pretty woman, and your blood must taste 10 times sweeter." it said.

"don't be so sure about that."

"well as far as I can see, your bark is worse than your bite half breed!"

Just then michelle charged at the demon, with her claws ready to attack. But before she could reach the demon she was knocked out of the way by a big blur. By the time she realized it, a blackish glow came upon the figure. Nothing but his glowing red eyes showed threw the darkness of his body.

"uh?"

The next thing she knew was a burst of the blackish energy hit every thing around it. Even her. The demon was dead and the half breed wounded. The figure walked up to her.

"I'm sorry I left you alone." it said.

"erif?"

The figure looked up to her with watery eyes and slightly nodded. Michelle threw herself at him, hugging him as if she was hanging on for her life.

And as soon as she hugged him the memory was broke, and she was left staring at the blackish figure once again. "inuyasha move! Get out of the way!" she yelled. The boy in red just gave her a confused stare, but yet a stare telling her to shut up. Then he took out his sword, it was big and looked like it weighed a hundred pounds. But to him it was like a regular attack. He lifted it above his shoulders and yelled out:

"wind scar!!!" then a bolt of yellowish light came streaking out of the weapon. Erif was hit by the attack but not killed, like inuyasha would of hoped. Erif just growled at the pain and vanished.

"what have you done!??!" michelle yelled.

"what!!! What have I done!??! I just saved your life!!!"

"and almost killed him!!!"

"that was the point! Did you not hear him!??! He's working with naraku!!!" inu yelled back. "heh, do you even know who naraku is?"

The girl just sat on the ground and shook her head, Inuyasha looked at her and one of his eyes began to twitch.

"so your telling me I just saved some….some…person, who….doesn't even know who….. NARAKU IS!!!!! that's it!!! Your on your own!!!"

"inuyasha!" kagome blurted out. "we just cant leave her here! Cant you see they are using her? If we leave her here she'll be killed for sure!"

"more the more reason to leave." inu smart mouthed back.

"your hopeless!"

"thanks! I really needed that after I found out that crap!"

"I was more than happy to give it to you too!"

"um… excuse me." michelle asked. The two just looked at her with frustrated faces. "um…. Not to break up this lovely argument between you two, but I'm gunna be alright on my own."

"no your coming with us." kagome commanded.

"no she's not!" inu yelled out.

"yes she is!!!"

"no!"

"ahem!!" michelle interrupted. "where are you guys going anyway?"

"non of your business!!" inu shouted.

"we're going in search of the shards of the shicon jewel." (kagome)

"don't tell me you don't know what that is." inu said as he turned around.

"no, no. I know perfectly well what the jewel is."

"Oh yeah? Then what is it?"

"the shicon-no-tama, the jewel of four souls. It was originally protected by a priestess named kikyou. She was the only one who new how to purify the jewel and that was to change a half demon into a human. But then a evil demon, witch I cant quite remember his name, changed himself and stole the jewel and pretended to be the half demon. And the real half demon was pinned to a tree for 50 years, and kikyou died. But then some weird girl came and freed the hanyou and now their….. Wait…. Inuyasha? You're the half demon who kikyou was using?"

"what!!!! She wasn't using me!!!"

"sorry. I'm just telling you what erif told me."

"well this… erif, of yours told you wrong!!!"

"he wouldn't!!!"

"well he did!!"

"then if you know it all, tell me how it really went!!"

"heh. You don't need to know my personal life. And besides, no on really cares."

"but, I…"

"shut up kagome." and with that the hanyou began to walk off.

"whats his problem?" michelle asked.

"he gets like this whenever someone mentions kikyou."

"you mean he loved her?"

"he still does."

"but I thought you two were in a relationship already."

"what!!! No!!! Ewww! Me and inuyasha!??!"

"well…"

"well, it'll never happen. He probably went after kikyou."

"you should go and stop him."

"what?"

"go on. I know you want to. By the way your talking to me you sound worried."

"well…"

"well then go."

"you go."

"me!??!"

"if your that worried you go right ahead!"

"I don't even know the guy!"

"well, you seem worried about him too!"

"ha! You admitted it! You are worried!"

"I am not!"

"are too!"

"are not! You half demons can be so dang annoying!"

"fine, if you go after him, I'll follow."

"what do you care?"

"I don't I just want to see this kikyou person."

"why, all she does is ruin peoples lives."

"so your jealous?"

"NO!!"

"yes you are! I see it written all over your face! So you do love him!"

"I do not!! I…I…I have a boyfriend already!!"

"really?"

"yeah."

"who?"

"I thought you didn't care."

"I don't, I'm just curious."

"well….I …. koga!"

"koga?"

"um….yeah! Koga."

"so you're having an affair?"

"NO!!"

"okay, your confusing me."

"I, I, I don't know what I'm saying anymore."

"so, what your telling me is that you are with koga? Well that cant be because he's my boyfriend."

"WHAT!!???!!"

"I'm just kidding! Sheesh, you humans are so gullible. What makes you think I would fall in love with that flea bag."

' she is a lot like inuyasha.' kagome sat and thought. Michelle on the other hand got up and started walking.

"hey! Where are you going?!?" kags asked.

"to go and find your boyfriend."

"who? Koga?"

"no, inuyasha."

"for the last time he's not my boyfriend! Koga is!"

"is not."

"is to! And what would you know!!"

"I smell the insecurity and I can scent a lie when I smell one."

"you can smell it!??!"

"yep."

"oh, well then can you not tell inuyasha about the whole koga thing?"

"why not?"

"because, he'll probably kill me."

"don't be so sure."

"whaa?"

"he's just rough around the out side. So do you have anything that smells like inuyasha?"

"what? Why?"

"so I can track him down, duh."

"you're going after him?"

"only for your sake."

"my sake!??!"

"yeah, now do you or not?"

"well…"

"ahem."

"okay, okay. Um……try these. I saw him trying to snitch them out of my backpack the other day." she said digging threw her big yellow book bag.

"what is that?!?" michelle asked.

"one minute ramen."

"one minute!"

"yeah, I'm from the future. it's a long story."

"oh."

"so does it have his scent on it?"

Michelle took the little cup and sniffed it a few times. "does he smell like……a big blob of feelings?"

"well, yeah. I guess."

"good then I've got it! Lets go."

And with that the two girls set of in search of inuyasha. Sniffing the air once in a while michelle continued to follow the what she called "mutts" tracks.

"so do you know how much….. Uh?"

"what is it?"

"I sense something."

"what?"

"kikyou."

They both looked up and saw kikyou.

"she's alone?" michelle asked. "then where's inuyasha?"

Kagome shrugged. And as soon as they saw kikyou she was gone.

"wait," kagome blurted out.

"what?" michelle asked.

"what if he…"

"he what?"

"wait, your nose lead you wrong!"

"that's it!??!"

"well….."

"oh brother."

"oh brother? What do you mean by that? You know what, I don't want to know. Just finish tracking down inuyasha."

Michelle gave her a slight nod and sniffed the air again.

"its no use, his scent stops here… …wait… …" she looked up in the tree above her and noticed his scent went up ward. "ha! I've got him." she said.

"well,"

"well what?"

"go up and get him."

"why me?"

"because I cant climb that high! Unless you want to carry me up there, witch I highly doubt."

"okay, okay, fine." and with that michelle jumped up a few branches to meet inuyasha leaning against the trunk.

"um…… hi."

"you again?"

"what do you mean by that?!!?"

"you're getting kindda annoying."

"heh, you haven't seen the half of it. And by the way, you're the one who's annoying."

"what!??!"

"and…well… I guess I'm sortta like that too. In a lot of ways were a lot like each other."

"I am nothing like you!"

"sure you are."

"how?"

"well, for one, we were both betrayed by our loved ones. I mean think about it, I fell in love with erif and he went and totally turned on me. Sortta like you an kikyou."

"then why don't you go after him?" inu asked in a sarcastic way.

"well, I guess I let him go."

"how? I'm pretty sure you just didn't go and hate him for it right away."

"no, I never really hate him, and I never will."

"what!??!"

"I loved him, and I still do. There will always be a piece of my heart that will always love him. Even if I never see him again, sigh what I'm trying to tell you inuyasha, is to let kikyou go. She is out of your life now. You've gotta start making way for the future, and stop living in the past. It may not be easy, but… I'm sure you, of all people, are gunna be able to do it. All the stories I've heard about you and about all those demons you've killed. It shouldn't be that hard. And just so you know," she continued to say while standing up. "that's not a complement." then she jumped off the tree, leaving inuyasha alone. He looked around and thought about what she had said. "what I'm trying to tell you inuyasha is to let kikyou go."

'let her go?' he asked himself. 'why?
