Okay, so Chapter Three. And, a bonus for you, Sesshomaru is in this chapter!

A couple of days had past after you had your mind chosen for you by Sango to join InuYasha's group. Kagome had explained to you about how they were searching for the Sacred Jewel shards, and how she was the reincarnation of the priestess Kikyo. She also told you that InuYasha once loved Kikyo, and that she had shot a Sacred Arrow at him that bound him to a tree for 50 years. She told you that she accidentally stumbled upon the Feudal Era by falling into her well, and how she had freed InuYasha from the tree from which he slept. She told you that she had accidentally broken the Jewel, which is why they were looking for the shards of it.

"Damn it, Kagome! Why did you have to go and break the Jewel!" complained InuYasha. "This would save us one helluva time tracking down these things!"

"InuYasha, how can you be so selfish! SIT!"

With a loud THUMP, InuYasha goes crashing to the ground as Kagome borrows Sango's tan and black kitten, Kirara. To your surprise, the little kitten transforms into a large cat with saber fangs, with flames surrounding her paws. Kagome then got on her back and off into the air Kirara jumped, flying away on flames.

That's not something you see everyday… "So. Have you been tracking these jewel shards for very long?" you ask, trying to break the awkward silence that now hovered over the group.

"For quite a few months, actually. Sometimes Kagome leaves to go back to her time, but she always comes back after a few days, with some supplies and other strange food as well." answered Miroku, sitting cross-legged on the ground. Sango sat beside him, while InuYasha jumped into a tree.

"I see. Now, have you gotten any of these shards?"

Miroku sighed. "There was a time when we had quite a few, but now we only have four. You see, some demon by the name of Kagura stole them for her master." Miroku stared into the fire that was crackling merrily. You just watch him as he goes into some deep thought. His staff was on the ground next to him and it appeared to be glowing slightly. Miroku noticed this and put his hand on the handle, and the glowing stopped.

Later that night, the group started to settle in for the night. Meaning, Sango and Miroku changed into their sleeping kimonos, unpacked their sleeping mats, and climbed into them, wishing you and the hanyou goodnight. Sighing, the half-demon jumped down from his tree branch and walked over to the stream just a little ways inside the forest. You watch him walk away, your emerald eyes glittering in the firelight. You heave a sigh, then something different flows through your nostrils. You sniff lightly, try to get as much of the scent as you could before the wind changed direction.

What? What is this scent? "Hmm…" You get up and walk towards the strange scent. It intrigued you; you had never smelt it before, and yet, it seemed so familiar. You pick up your pace as the scent was walking away from you. Then the scent trail stopped completely and you stopped dead in your tracks. This isn't good… A hand popped out of nowhere and closed around your windpipe. The hand had two magenta stripes on it, and as you continued to look towards your attacker, from hand to torso, you saw the most gorgeous demon you had ever laid eyes on.

He was tall, with two magenta stripes on his face. A dark purple crescent moon on his forehead was almost hidden by silver bangs. He had long, silver hair that complemented his gold eyes, which were tinted with red. The hand which held your throat started to glow light green. Poison… he has poison claws! This does not bode well… "St-stop…" you say weakly, bringing up your own clawed hands to his stripes wrist, trying to loosen its hold on you. "I-I h-have…" but you were cut off. The man who had attacked you growled and tightened his grip. "St-stop…" was all you could make out before you blacked out.

Sesshomaru's POV

You watched as the female demon in your tight grip lost consciousness. A small smirk escaped your lips, but only to be taken away as an electric shock runs through your body. The shock caused you to drop the female. You growled and narrowed your eyes at the pathetic figure before you. Looking over at her figure, you notice something that you had not earlier. She was tall, taller than most human women, anyway. She had long, flowing gold hair that was tied in two low, loose ponytails. She wore a long blue and silver kimono with a silver obi around her waist that was tied in a bow. One navy jagged striped across her cheeks and wrists was all you needed to see that she was a dog demon like yourself. A dog demon… that is not possible. She must have changed her appearance somehow. You sniffed the air, and you smelt your brother's scent, which caused you to growl. Without so much as a glance to the crumpled figure at your feet, you walk away.

Seiko's (Your) POV

Darkness. That was all that you could see. Wh-where… am… I? I do not know this place

"Seiko… Seiko… Wake up, Seiko…"

What…? Someone… wants me to… wake up?

"Seiko…!"

With a jolt, you sit up straight, eyes still closed. You slowly open your eyes, and blink a few times. Miroku, Sango, Kagome, Shippo, and Kirara were sitting around you in a cirlce. InuYasha was sitting in a tree nearby, curious and watching your every move.

"Oh Seiko! I'm glad you're awake!" Kagome exclaims as she glomps you, causing you into a coughing fit. You had covered your mouth with your hand, and when you removed it, a few drops of blood was on it. You looked over at them.

"What happened…? Where… am I?"

"You were poisoned. It was a good thing InuYasha sniffed out where you were, or else you'd probably be dead by now." Miroku explained.
