Tari here! Chapter 8 is now written. I'm starting on Chapter 9 before I get any reviews because I had some ideas for it. I won't post it until you review though. REVIEWS keep me writing. Anyways, hope you enjoy it.

Miroku stepped out of the forest, heading towards the small camp the group had made. He was alone as he came closer.

"Where's Becca?" Kagome asked.

Shippou noticed the strange look on Miroku's face before anyone else. He stepped closer, worry covering his face. "Miroku? What happened?"

"She left," was all Miroku said.

Kagome instantly snapped, "Inuyasha follow her scent. Find her and bring her back."

Inuyasha nodded and dashed off.

"What happened?" Kagome asked after he had disappeared.

Miroku sat down, rubbing his wind tunnel. He recalled Becca speaking through a pool of water to people. Her half-sister, and a slave perhaps? He explained what he could to Kagome, Shippou, and Songo, but he truly didn't know what happened so he couldn't explain much.

"Master? Who could she be talking about?" Kagome wondered aloud.

Before anyone said or did anything else, there was a yell.

"That sounded like Inuyasha!" Kagome gasped.

Everyone ran in the direction of the scream.

Bursting through the trees they came upon Inuyasha writhing on the ground clutching his stomach.

"Inu-" Kagome started.

"Stay back," he interrupted. He started to stand up slowly, one hand constantly on his front.

"What's going on?" Shippou asked.

"Hello there," a voice hissed through the brush.

Everyone's heads snapped towards the sound.

A man stepped out of the trees. His hair was orange with red streaks. His eyes were bright red, like blood. He wore an orange jumpsuit and in his left hand he was holding a girl. His hand seemed to be clutching the back of her neck so she hung like a kitten in its mother's mouth.

"Who are you?" Kagome asked, holding her bow tighter.

The man smiled evilly and replied, "Excuse me. My name is Kevin. I come from very far away. This girl is my sister. Say hello sister."

The girl's head tilted up slightly to look at them. Her brown hair fell down over her shoulders and her bright green eyes gazed out at them. They were glazed… They were the eyes of a dead girl.

Her face barely moved as she suddenly said in a sickly sweet voice, "Hello." Her face then fell back downwards.

Inuyasha growled suddenly, "How could you do that? Why are you here?"

Kevin grinned again and said, "That girl you were chasing after. That's why I'm here. I need a new sister. This one is starting to rot. The body of that other girl has very powerful energy. She'll stay fresh for years after I take control."

"By stopping here you're letting her get away," Inuyasha snapped.

"She's won't get away. The direction she went merely leads to my trap. She'll be stuck for days in there until I go to get her."

"Leave Becca alone!" Miroku suddenly yelled.

Kagome glanced at him quickly. Was he in love with her? Probably. Miroku fell in love with ALL the pretty girls.

"Leave her alone? Oh but I don't want to. Sister," Kevin began, "Entertain these people while I got get our new friend to join us."

He placed the girl on her feet and she stood up as if she were alive. Her unanimated eyes looked at them for a moment before she drew a knife and started to pace forward.

Inuyasha called out, "Stay away from her. She's faster than you think. She already got me in the stomach."

The girl kept walking, swaying slightly from side to side. Side to side. Side… to… side…

Miroku called out, "Inuyasha, Kagome. Keep this girl busy. Shippou and I will go help Becca."

Inuyasha now growled, "No. Shippou, stay here with me. Miroku take Kagome out of here."

Miroku nodded and ran off with Kagome.

The girl started to turn towards them at first, but at the last moment she turned back to Inuyasha and ran at him.

Inuyasha leaped at her, roaring.

Shippou coward away and cried, "Why are you fighting for that guy? He's trying to replace you."

"She's dead," Inuyasha called to him.

Shippou ignored him, whimpering, "Please stop."

Inuyasha sliced open the girl's arm, but no blood came out. She was just a walking corpse.

"How is that possible?" Shippou asked.

Inuyasha quickly answered, "I've seen this before. That Kevin guy has the power to reanimate the dead. They have to be fresh dead bodies though. Basically, he can control anyone he kills."

Shippou suddenly cried out as the girl started to run towards the squirrel-boy.

Inuyasha cut her off and grabbed the knife with his bare hand. It cut through the first layer of skin but then stopped.

The girl wasn't moving. A tear escaped her face and she whispered, "My name is Heather. Please… destroy me. You must pierce my heart. Please."

Inuyasha snatched the knife out of her hand and stabbed it through the girl.

Shippou covered his eyes, crying.

The girl seemed to come back to life for a moment, her eyes un-glazing, and then she went limp.

Inuyasha left the knife in her chest and picked up Shippou. "Let's go!"

Meanwhile, Kagome and Miroku came out into another clearing where Becca was in a whole. She was wrapped in a spider's web. Around the spider's web was chain. Around the chain were a million locks. Around the locks were power wards. Becca was completely helpless how she currently was.

Kevin looked up from the hole at the newcomers and laughed, "Looks like my sister failed to keep you back. She was terribly weak though. I guess I shall have to finish you myself."

He rubbed his hands together and pulled a small box out of his pocket. He opened it up and pulled out a couple pills. "Now the question is: Will I take the red pill? Or the blue pill?"

Miroku didn't know what he was referring to but watched as Kevin popped a green pill into his mouth.

Kevin put his box away and waited a moment with crossed arms. Then suddenly shivers rocked his body. He stood there shaking as his body started to change. Feathers grew out of skin, get larger and lying flat. His mouth stretched out and bent like a snout with large fangs sticking out. His finger nails grew in length until they were like claws. His bare feet stretched and changed until they were like dragon's feet, tearing into the ground.

"Who wants to die first?" he asked. Even with the wolf-like mouth he seemed to still be smiling.

Miroku was about to bring out his wind tunnel when he noticed bugs flying around. "Naraku," Miroku growled angrily.

"You know him too? How nice. He's not exactly my friend but he's helping me find my new sister so…"

Becca suddenly called out, "Everyone! Leave! I'll be fine just go."

"You should listen to her," Kevin laughed. "She's got the right idea. All I want is a new sister."

Inuyasha and Shippou now came through the trees. Inuyasha instantly gasped at the site of the monster standing before them.

"Oh, good. Now we can have a party," Kevin chuckled. He started to step forward.

"Wait. No. Leave them alone. I'll go willingly if you leave them alone." Becca kept crying out to them.

Everyone was going to protest but Kevin jumped down into the hole. They rushed forward to see what was going on.

He had pulled everything off of Becca and he was now holding her throat with one of his oversized hands.

"Becca!" Miroku called to her.

She looked up at him, a mask on her face. She blinked a few times before gasping, "Jack is waiting."

Kevin suddenly released her throat, asking, "You knew, Jack?"

Everyone froze. This beast of a man, Kevin knew Jack?

Miroku wanted to ask Kevin so many questions.

"I am Becca," she replied.

Kevin slowly turned back into his more human looking form. He leaned forward slightly and said, "Becca as in Jack's love? My brother's one and only soul mate?"

Becca nodded.

Kagome muttered, "Brother?"

Kevin's face turned red and he roared, "IT WAS YOU! YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!" He swung his fist into Becca's face, flinging her out of the hole and into a tree.

Inuyasha jumped down, grabbing at Kevin's throat. Kevin wasn't even trying to fight back now. He was allowing Inuyasha to kill him.

"Hurry up. Either kill me or let me go so I can kill her. I don't want to exist with this demon girl. She's a monster. She's lying to you. She killed my brother. I saw it with my own eyes. She's a monster. She's a-" his voice cut off and he collapsed. Inuyasha quickly finished him off.

Miroku went to Becca. She held a hand to her face as she sobbed. Her voice came out raggedly, "I didn't do it. I didn't kill him. I didn't. I'm sorry, Jack. I'm so sorry."

Miroku tried to hug her but she pushed him away saying, "I must go. I must get to my master. He needs me."

"Where are you going?" Miroku asked.

She replied, "To my master. He's in the demon realm. Once I go I will not be able to return. I will turn into my demon form and will never return because I will not want to turn back. But my master needs me."

"Who is your master?"

Becca looked in Miroku's eyes. Her own flashed black dangerously before she answered, "My demon father. My mother is already dead. But my father is still alive. And he needs me. He will die without my blood."

"Your blood?"

"My blood is his medicine. He will probably kill me when I return."

I will explain more about Kevin's brother mutterings in the next chapter. Don't worry. Everything will go much more smoothly as I, myself, understand where I'm going with this.

SPOILER-ISH: Kevin is not really Jack's brother. Kevin was just slightly insane from thinking all dead people are his brother/sister.

I hope you enjoyed it!
