Chapter 1

~Earlier That Day~

The sun was shining, birds were chirping, I was in bed next to the man, well half-demon I love and it was a perfectly normal day.

"Ugh…Why can't the sun blow up or something?" I grumbled as I opened my eyes. Two crimson eyes were staring back at me, amusement in his eyes.

"My dear, why not just cover your face?" His voice was deep and seductive; he didn't even have to try to sound like that. I stuck my tongue out at him and giggled when he raised an eyebrow. "If you are going to stick that out, then you should put it to good use."

"W-What?" I asked nervously. I knew what he meant, I was just so embarrassed that he'd say that. He chuckled but then went into a serious mood. He always did that. He was sweet and loving, but then changed to serious and dark. Like he has a "good" and evil" side. It was odd, but I was used to it.

"Today we will resume our search for the Shikon Jewel shards. Get dressed." With that, he was up and pulling our clothes out of the closet. I sighed as he tossed my clothes to me. 'Those damn jewel shards again. Is that all he cares about?' I thought to myself as I got out of bed and began dressing like he was. I chuckled humorlessly to myself. 'Of course that's all he cares about. Hell while we are in bed intimately, he is probably thinking about them instead of me.' I froze my movements as I imagined him having sex with a life-sized jewel shard. I shuddered as the disturbing thought. 'I honestly hope that isn't what he thinks of.'

"Sierra!" A voice called out snapping my attention back to him. I had been standing there fully clothed staring at the wall for the past few minutes. He probably had been talking while I ignored him. It most likely angered him.

"Huh? What?" I looked at him; he was fully dressed in his usual clothes.

"We are departing. Let's go. It's finally time for you to be useful." Ouch, that hurt me a bit. But hell, it's Naraku; did I ever expect him to be nice and loving?

"I'm coming." I sighed and looked at where he had stood. He had already left the room after he spoke so I pretty much said that to myself. I sighed and slid my sword into me sash around my waist and ran out of the room after Naraku.

"Do you know where we are going today?" I asked one of Naraku's minions, Kagura. She looked up at me and sighed.

"Not sure, but I do believe we will be going after the wolf prince, Koga." Kagura responded as she looked back at the ground. I nodded my head and walked to Naraku's side. We began flying; Naraku and I in his miasma cloud and Kagura on her feather. When Kagura had responded she seemed bored and I knew why. She always wanted to go pick a fight with one of the dog demons Naraku usually goes after. She has a crush on the older one, Sesshomaru. I don't blame her, he does look pretty good. Not as good as my man, but still, I wouldn't turn him down if he wanted to have some fun with me. I giggled and blushed at the thought of doing something with that demon. As soon as I made the noise, I hoped Naraku hadn't noticed, but of course he did.

"What are you laughing at, woman." Naraku snapped clearly annoyed with my girly noise. He was clearly still in his bad mood.

"Nothing, just thinking." I smiled innocently at him, hoping he didn't push it further.

"Fine, just cease the annoying sounds." He glared at me, threatening me without even saying a word and then looked forward again.

"Yes Master Naraku." I replied immediately. Suddenly, the ground of the miasma was very, very interesting. I didn't dare speak any more than that. When he was in a bad mood, he took it out on me. A demon can only take so much miasma and beating before the body can't heal itself anymore. I do not like being used as something to vent anger. 'It was Kagura's job, not mine." I laughed mentally at that, feeling a bit bad but not really.

As Naraku, Kagura and I flew, I thought about what was going to happen. I had a feeling that the wolf was not alone, and of course, I was right. All Naraku's enemies were there; Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Koga, that little fire cat and that fox kit. But there was someone new.

"Naraku…that human priestess…She looks like…" I paused as we landed in the clearing where everyone was waiting. They were all in a battle stance, ready for a fight. It was like they knew we were coming.
