Odd happenings/ Part 3

It was an odd scene to say the least. A dog demon in a red jacket, a teenage priestess and a demon of blood all sitting around a circular table as Sakusan simply sighed at the very idea of everything that was going on.

"This is a bit far fetched, even if we are demons. Time travel is simply a myth you see, only those with a very rare power can do it. And unless you are telling me that this well of yours is secretly a higher ranked being, I doubt it has the ability to time travel, I bet that dog is from another world right?"

It goes without mention that Sakusan wasn't a very pleasant person to be around, she always had an air of arrogance around her, as if she was looking down upon all those who was around her.

"You're getting on my nerves." Inuyasha grumbled as he sat on the chair, it was surprisingly uncomfortable to belong to such a wealthy family, though it seemed like that was the point of making it awkward to sit in, the manor didn't really have an inviting air about it.

"I know right? It's nothing really, traveling through time is so silly, I wished I never brought it up," Kagome gave a rather nervous laugh, after all even if she was a demon, she really shouldn't find out about the well. Actually the fact that she was a demon made that idea even stronger.

As soon as the black haired girl started to speak once again a silver haired woman entered the room clasping her hands together, "Ah, would you and your friends like anything to eat now?" Sakusan mother said in a rather cheerful and upbeat tone as the black haired demon girl tapped her feet against the ground.

"No mother, and they're not my friends, just two idiots that have no idea whats going on!"

Kagome pouted slightly, "She could at least say our names, after all we told her like ten times already."

A paused followed as Sakusan snapped back to attention, it seemed that she had a question for her mother. "Mother you said you went to Higurashi house, did you not, and that is where you met this dog." Inuyasha glared at the proper lady as she paid him no mind. The silver haired woman smiled ad she twirled her hair, and smiled.

"Ah yes, that is right. I meet this boy when I accidentally dropped my necklace down the well. Your grandfather was so nice that he showed me something so sacred to your family," Kagome couldn't help but laugh nervously at that idea, no doubt he allowed her to do that because of her looks, despite being a mother she looked quite youthful, though the same could be same about Kagome's own mother.

Actually Kagome had to wonder about the necklace, after all it seemed to have opened a portal to the feudal times. She was interested in its properties among other things, "if it's not too much trouble, I would like to see it." Kagome asked as politely as possibly as Miss Niku gave a rather kind and gentle smile. It seemed like she was going to say yes, at least that is what Kagome thought.

"Nope, that's an impossibility. Maybe if you were a demon I would let you see it, but if I gave it to you now, you'll just end up burning your hand off or something," That was a rather blunt answer, as Kagome quickly pulled her hand away. as all hopes of an investigation came to a halt, Sakusan started speaking once again, eye twitching at the idea of being ignored.

"I'm surprised actually, I knew you were a priestess when I first met you, but I didn't know you knew about demons. I thought you were ignorant of everything."

Kagome couldn't help but take such a comment as an insult, assuming things about others is never healthy, but to Sakusan's defense the topic in question really wasn't something you chatted about casually.

"Are you calling me stupid?" Kagome had to ask, even if she had an offended tone to her voice as Sakusan shrugged.

"Yes."

It seemed both mother and daughter couldn't put things gently at all as Sankusan gaze slowly shifted to Inuyasha leaning back in her red and golden table chair. "Also, you there, dog demon, I assume you know this girl." Sakusan stated as Inuyasha simply scoffed.

"Yes, I thought it was obvious, but then again I bet you aren't as bright as you act."

Sakusan eye twitched, Kagome probably should have said something to him, but the way the girl was acting she really did need an attitude check.

Sakusan closed her eyes as she took a deep breath, she started to speak once again. This time she gained a certain amount of authority with her words.

"Listen whoever you are, I'm not sure you completely understand what is going on here. And to be honest I would recommend you completely forget about tonight events and just live you life. You have nothing against the current demons right? So you sticking your nose in their business will only lead to trouble, unless you really want to-" Sakusan wasn't able to finish her statement as the door to the kitchen swung open, a silver haired woman entering the scene.

"WHO WANTS POPCORN?!" Miss Niku screamed as came out with a large bowl of popcorn in her hand, of course this lead to Sakusan snapping once again.

"Damn it mother!"

Kagome decided to ignore the current out burst and respond to Sakusan statement, trying her best not to smile, "I can't do that, I mean if they're not doing anything wrong then that's fine, but if people are going to get hurt because of them, then I simply can't ignore it right? Especially after what I've seen tonight, and now that Inuyasha is here, I feel even more confident then ever."

The silver haired teen couldn't help but blush as Sakusan simply smiled at her, it seemed she got an idea, a rather vile ideal, but an ideal non the less.

"Hmm, very well the. But if you are going to do something so pointless then you might need information on said demons that hang around here will you not. Since I'm such a nice person, if you ask me nicely I might give you some info."

Kagome was actually rather surprised at what was coming out of the girls mouth, it was as if she was agreeing to help them for little to nothing in return, which is quite the feet for a demon.

"So, you're saying that you'll help us?" Kagome asked as Sakusan scoffed.

"No, but if this place gets too crowded with demons then me doing what I have to do would get annoying, plus this way I don't even need to lift a finger and you idiots will do all the work for me. It's a win win." Sakusan shrugged as Inuyasha gave a low grumble.

Inuyasha knew at that very moment that the girl was planning on using them, it wasn't a very pleasant feeling to say the least, and he wondered if he should out deny her help. After all he handled demons before without information, he didn't need any from her. "So in other words, you get to sit on you ass and do nothing while be run around like idiots?"

Sakusan smirked as the half-demon pointed out that fact. "I don't care what happens to these humans, I really don't. If everyone in this town was killed tomorrow then I would simply laugh, there are plenty of humans on this planet and in this world. I'm sure losing a couple of thousand wouldn't hurt anything."

The girl really was a demon after all as Kagome sighed she got up from her seat.

"I think this conversation is over... I guess I'll be seeing you at school tomorrow?" Kagome stated as Sakusan simply nodded.

"Yes, I have to keep up appearances, and please do get some rest tonight Higurashi. We both may end up having a long day tomorrow.


"That girl really pisses me off." Inuyasha grumbled as Kagome sighed.

They were walking along a rather quite river, the moon reflecting off the water, it was rather nice to say the least. Not a single soul was out, as Kagome started to ask rather meaningless questions, something that would probably hurt her. "So...how is everyone?"

It was a random question, as there was an eerie silence, the moon was full

Inuyasha scratched the back of his head.

"They are doing pretty good...yeah."

Awkward silence, how do people speak to one another after a goodbye, events like these don't happen often after all. But this sudden turn made a question that was rather important, where was he going to stay for the time being? "Hey, Inuyasha...you can stay at my house for the time being if it's okay with my mom." Kagome knew it was going to be okay after all her mother knew Inuyasha quite well, but that also brought up another question.

What was he going to do all day? Something like that really wasn't worth worrying about at the moment, but still.

Inuyasha should really decline to such a thing, after all he didn't mind finding someplace to sleep, but still it was nice for her to offer.

"Fine, Sure whatever." Inuyasha blushed as he looked away, even though he really should have declined he ended up saying yes anyway.

However through their conversation, it seemed the two failed to noticed the silver haired woman watching them from a nearby building, scanning them, her dress was that of a nun's and her eyes a deep piercing red.

"Eh, that sword...that sword is something,"


"Kagome, hey can't you hear me?!" The teenage girl snapped to attention as her friends huddled around her. It's seemed that the girl had a bad habit of forgetting about the people in the current time. Though Kagome wanted to ask why everyone was out yesterday.

"Y-yeah, just thinking of something." Kagome smiled at Yuka as she sighed, no doubt she was thinking about that scoundrel of a boyfriend, as Eri light lit right up, she seemed like she was going to talk about relationships once again. Kagome knew they meant well, but she couldn't help but feel like they were treating her like a child. During the rather pointless conversation Kagome noted that Ayumi was staring into space, which was a shame since she usually always backed up Kagome when it came to these kind of things.

"Ah, Ayumi, are you okay?" Kagome had to ask, as Ayumi snapped to attention, and said the oddest thing that anyone has ever heard.

"Aliens don't exist!" It was odd to hear Ayumi raise her voice, but even odder for her to say something like that. As Eri, Kagome and Yuka simply looked at their friend she simply blushed.

"I-I wasn't feeling well yesterday, that's why I wasn't here. Nothing weird happened the other night or anything, that would be just silly." If Ayumi was lying then she would be doing a rather poor job of it, which is a shame since she had a good reason to hide it.

"Ah...well, I guess that covers that." Kagome didn't really ask why none of them were there yesterday, they probably had something important to do. Speaking of important things.

"I wonder what Inuyasha is doing?"


"Ah, your girlfriend must be a rather lucky girl...having such a beast as you for a mate." Miss Niku gave a light smile as Inuyasha back away slowly. The woman did invite him to her house for the time being, she said she needed help with something. At first he was reluctant, but he really didn't have anything better to do when Kagome was at of school.

"Y-yeah, anyway what do you need help with anyway?" Inuyasha asked as he looked around the rather large manor, he noted that it was well kept, which made sense considering how much of a hardass as Sakusan living there.

Inuyasha also noted that it was a second floor, no doubt that is where Miss Niku room was, since she always came down the stairs when he seen her.

"...I need you to pull weeds out of the ground, I would highly recommend you taking off your shirt for the process...very highly recommend such a thing." Miss Niku took a step towards the half demon as Inuyasha took a step back. For some reason he was getting a rather uncomfortable feeling around this woman, someone you would call a cougar. Or maybe an old succubus, that would suck you dry of more then just your money. The dog demon didn't want to be rude, but things were getting weird pretty quickly.

Honestly, the only reason he was there was because he didn't have anything else to do, but thinking back on it, just wandering around the city or following Kagome probably would have been a better way to spend his time.

"I'm good, I can do that with my clothes on..." A long pause as Miss Niku frowned, but that only lasted for a moment before the woman grinned again.

"You know, I have a super secret and important thing in my room... could you please go get it, I'm not planning on ambushing you or anything...nope not this nice attractive lady, that happens to be single."

Another awkward pause, Inuyasha had a nagging feeling that he was being what some would call it...hit on? Those were the words that entered his head as Miss Niku took another step towards the demon.

"Hey, I don't know you very well, but someone like you wouldn't cheat on his girlfriend...right, though most men I know jump at the chance to do naughty things with beautiful woman."

And thus the conversation turned even weirder, so weird that Inuyasha wanted to leave as soon as possible. Maybe going over to the Niku's house when only one of them were there was probably a bad idea.

"N-no of course not, I would never do something like that. I actually have pride in that sort of thing!" His voice was surprisingly force full as the Woman grumbled, it seemed like it would take a little bit more effort, but that wasn't the only thing that made her irritated it was the fact that he said he would never cheat on his girlfriend is what made her angry.

"Hehehe, you say that now, but when she gets all old and you start being bored of her. Then she has a kid and then you start chasing all those young demon girls... Then when you say, she should start working out, but I- I mean she states that she's thin enough and then h- I mean you finally leave her and never pays child support. Then I-I-I mean she starts sleeping around get pregnant two more times and- and," Pointless rambling of a woman who seemed to have been burned by men before, and so the conversation reached its peek in sheer weirdness as the woman simple continued her rather long explanation as Inuyasha simply blinked, it was odd, but he truly didn't understand most of those terms that she was spouting out.

It seemed like the rambling would never end, but something caught their attention, some force that was outside the manor.

"Hmm? Odd why is she here?" Miss Niku cocked her eye as Inuyasha gritted his teeth.

No doubt there was a demon just outside the mansion, but Miss Niku did not seemed concerned about it, in fact she seemed rather happy whoever was outside she knew.

"You stay here you young demon you." Miss Niku winked as she walked towards a window and opened it, Inuyasha noted the rather expensive looking curtains. As she spoke out the window into the rather clear morning.

"Ah, Zoki I've haven't seen you in a whil-"

A sound of a gun being fired, as the woman known as Miss Niku head was forced back, as if someone was pulling her hair.

There was a long pause of silence, as Miss Niku straightened her head, as she placed her thumb and her index finger around her forehead. There was a wound there no doubt, as she plunged her fingers into the area and pulled out a rather red bullet like object as it dissipated into a reddish mist. She then calmly walked towards Inuyasha who then had his sword drawn, and she spoke in a rather flat manner.

"...It seems like she's not happy to see me" That was the understatement of the year as Inuyasha slumped his shoulders, it seemed that the woman didn't understand the severity of the situation. Though one must wonder how she survived a bullet to the head.

"Who the hell is it?!" Inuyasha snapped as Miss Niku simply shrugged, before staring at the window,

"Ah, yes she's my oldest daughter, quite the cruel one she is. She works for the demon church...it's a church ran by demons." Inuyasha wanted to point out how obvious that was, but he really didn't know what a church was to complain about it, then again Inuyasha didn't even know what a church was.

The woman dress flowed as she crossed her arms, it seemed like she was about to pout as she started to explain something.

"It's no good, I could leave anytime, but she's probably after that sword of yours." Tessaiga was probably the sword she was referring to as Inuyasha glanced at it. But why would anyone from this world want a sword like that? After all there was no need for it, modern weapons should be overall more useful in modern day situations, the sword was best at slaying demons and more powerful than any gun, but still...

"Like hell she's going to take it!" It seemed like the half demon was about to rush out the door, before the woman stopped him, and for good reason as well.

"Ahh, that's not a good idea, my friend. She'll blow your head off without you even knowing it, you do know what a sniper is right?"

"No, I have no idea what a sniper is, is it something important." The woman wanted to smack her head, it seemed that this one was all looks and no brain. Not like it really mattered over all since knowing about a sniper doesn't mean you can stop them, still, she wondered where exactly did the half demon come from, even if he was born in a remote area he should know the basics of combat.

"Well, it's a person who stays far out of sight and shoots things at you. Like arrows and bullets, you know the things that usually kills you in one shot." Well to be fair arrows and bullets usually don't have instant kill properties unless it goes through the head. And even then demons probably would just shrug it off.

"Then all I need to do is see them first, ha that's simple." The woman simply blinked as her red eyes scanned the demon. It seemed he really didn't get the situation at all, though the simplicity of the idea.

"Actually, that may not be a bad idea after all..."

The woman closed her hand as a glyph appeared in the air, no doubt it was some kind of dark magic, as some sort of demonic raven appeared. It was a large as a small child as it's glowing red eyes seemed to pierce the brown walls.

"Eh, this is just going to be shot down, but if I know anything about that weapon of hers, each shot has a longer reload time then the last. The first shot takes no time and has the strength of a normal bullet, the second shot has the power to destroy a wall. But has a reload time of ten seconds, everything after that simply doubles the time. But if we let her reach the sixth shot then we lose, there is no way to send back the attack and it alters reality to always hit its target. I'll survive the blast, but I doubt you would, the one flaw in this is that the weapon can not switch strength at will. At least not while it's being used as a sniper. It's either stays at the strength of the first shot or keep growing, not being in use it will reset to the first shots strength. This is only when it's being used as a sniper however, her weapons properties varies depending on the situation."

That was a lot of information to take in, but the weapon was what Inuyasha was worried about, it seemed to be special somehow, and he wanted to know how.

"What kind of thing is she using anyway? A bow and arrow?" That was the only long distant weapon Inuyasha was use to, it was weird any other way since he only seen the weapon called a gun, about a handful of times, and when it was used it wasn't very effective,

"It's...something rather difficult to describe. It's a very powerful weapon known as the R.E.D shooter, it uses the users blood to create bullets. This would be worthless to most owners, but since my family can not only regenerate from next to nothing, but we can also freely control our blood. These two traits made my daughter the best wielder of the weapon. Once a bullet is fired it cannot change direction, that is an unshakable law however the owner of the R.E.D shooter who is apart of the Niku family can over come this law. It's also known as the gun of guns, nothing can match the power of the fifth shot, which is said to be able to shatter a bridge. And nothing can avoid or push back the sixth shot since it's no longer a demonic bullet, rather than a curse that kills its target as soon as it's fired." Miss Niko wished she had a pair of glasses, she felt like a rather sexy teacher explaining such worthless things.

Inuyasha grumbled as he scratched his head, he really didn't understand that well, but he didn't want to go through another explanation so he just pretended he understood the situation.

But that still didn't explain why Miss Niku summoned a demon crow for her bidding. And in a closed off manor none the less, Miss Niku nodded as the crow followed the command of its master, it flew to the top of the main room, before flying out into the air, Miss Niku paid close attention to the bird as she slowly walked towards the open window, it seemed like she didn't want to be shot in the head again.

Even though it was in the middle of the day, a loud boom was heard, through the air. The crow did not fall, saying it did would imply there was enough left of it to be considered a crow as. Which would be a lie in the current situation.

"Oh my, it simply exploded, I didn't expect that at all. I hope we didn't ruin anyone's day by bathing them in blood or anything," The woman said that in the most sincere way possible, as Inuyasha grumbled.

It was pointless, why was she sending out worthless demons like that. Though something in Inuyasha's mind clicked.

She was trying to get Zoki to waste her shots on worthless things. This was the second shot, so the next one will have to have at least a ten second reload, and if she doesn't shoot at all then the crows will locate her allowing a counterattack.

"This is going to take a while, isn't." Inuyasha huffed as the woman next to him shrugged before summoning the next raven.

"Listen you handsome demon you, the next will be twenty seconds, so from the time that this crow is killed you have to reach the sniper. If you don't then the fourth shot will kill you, unless you have a way to reflect the shot, even then. Unless you know where it's coming from, reflecting it will be impossible." Miss Niku closed her eyes as she continued, "Please remember, it's in the middle of the day, even with that hat on, drawing a giant sword to reflecting a giant bullet would be bad.

Inuyasha paused as he waited, the time between the third shot is fired and the fourth is all they could afford, the sixth shot will kill no matter the range and no matter the position. Since it's no longer a demonic bullet at that point.

"Okay...ready?"

Review? Please, I'm not above begging, I know it's not really the regular story you see in the fandom, but I wanted to try something new.
