Chapter 4: A place to belong

I've finally found a place to b with people, just the way I am. I don't have to hide myself at all. I can't believe it. People here are so nice to me even though I'm a demon. It's so crazy…I love it here. The Feudal Era is just for me.

It's nice not to worry about my mother. Well she's 500 years away, good luck chasing me here mother. Now you can't find me at all. Now I'm safe. I don't have to deal with her anymore, with my mother. If I can even still call her my mother that is. Did she even love me at all? Or was it some cruel joke for her? All that she ever wanted was for my death…But I think it was all supposed to happen so that I can be here with Inuyasha and the others.

I've learned more about everyone and their stories. Sango and her little brother Kohaku. Miroku and his cursed hand with the wind tunnel. Inuyasha, Kagome and Kikyo. Their love triangle is just a mess. I could so tell Kagome loved him and I've only been here for about 3 days. Anyways, I've also learned about Shippo and his father. Naraku is the main source to their pain, and they want to kill him. I don't blame them I would want to as well. I wish to kill him…He's hurt my new friends. And Kagome who is my best friend. No one hurts them and gets away with it. And especially not for stupid shards of some stupid jewel called the Shikon Jewel. Like really? If your so weak that you need a shard of a jewel to make you stronger, well that's just pathetic. Though it grants your wishes so it doesn't surprise me that evil villains want the stupid thing.

I stood up from the grassy area that I was sitting in. I went over to a lady I've been starring at for some time. She has cloths, more appropriate for this time. I bought a pair of boys pants, like Inuyasha's, that were white. I also bought a priestess's shirt with the super long sleeves. I bought them just because their were more feminine.

I went into Kaedea's house, the main priestess of this village, and got changed into my new cloths. When I finished putting them on I twirled my body and smiled. I put my father's sword into the little slit in the pants by the waist, that was made to hold swords. Now I fit into the time line. I grabbed my school uniform and walked outside of Kaedea's house. I went over to the fire that I had made while I sat in the grassy area. I through my uniform into the fire and watched as it burned.

It's my clean slate. I'm starting anew. The past is being burned with that uniform. I can now be myself in a new world. I have a brand new adventure ahead of me. I don't know where it might lead me but I have a feeling that it will be good. I have a feeling that I'll find more peace and love in this new world…I'll be at home here.

"Yune!" a voice from behind me said to me.

I turned around and saw everyone there. They were standing there with smiling faces. They liked having me around. Here I was welcomed. They didn't judge me…I ran up to them and smiled to them as a few tears escaped my eyes.

(time passed)

"So we are traveling to find clues about Naraku and help people that need it on our way there?" I asked

"Yes." Kagome replied

"That's nice of you guys."

"Can she even fight?" Inuyasha asked

"Of course I can. I was the top student in my martial arts, sword fighting and archery class." I firmly stated

"Top student? Wow that's impressive." Sango said as I smiled at her.

"These guys are stronger than humans though. They won't hesitate to kill you." Miroku told me

"You are right, well I guess we will see if I can handle myself." I replied

We walked into the gates of a small village that was called Kasasagi Town. It wasn't a very big town, it was sort of like Kaedea's village. The moment we entered the very small town a man ran up to Sango. He held her hands and fell to his knees.

He was an older man, maybe in his 40's or 50's. He wore a blue and white kimono. He had grey hair that was short and ended at his neck. He had dark blue eyes. His eyes held sadness in them and he was worried.

"Oh demon slayer! Thank god you came!" The man said as Sango gave him a confused look.

"My daughter was kidnapped by a demon! I was trying to find any men that would save her, but all of them are too scared! Please save her! I'll give you anything." The old man pleaded

"We will help you, do you know where the demon took your daughter?" Kagome asked the man.

"N-No…I was sleeping when she started screaming for help. All I know is that they are somewhere in the forest. I do no know exactly where. Please help me!" The man pleaded again.
"Old man, calm down. We said we will help you." Inuyasha told him

"Let's go!" I replied as everyone nodded to me.

We all ran into the forest and began to search for the girl. She can be anywhere in this large forest. But if we spilt up we might be able to find her. But than again it would end up those stupid horror flicks where if you spilt up you die…So maybe we should just stick together on this one.

"Yune!" Kagome said as I turned to her

"Yes Kagome?" I asked her

"Don't be nervous okay. We will back you up if it gets to hard."

"Okay, thank you Kagome."

"Your welcome."

"Somebody help me! Hurry! He's going to eat me!" a young girl's voice yelled as I perked my head up and looked towards the right.

"Did you guys hear that?" I asked

"Hear what?"Sango asked.

"You better get ready you stupid girl. We are coming to eat you." A dark voice said

"This way!" I said as I ran towards the voices that were more to the right of the forest.

"No! Somebody! Anybody help me!" The young girl screamed again as I entered the clearing where she was.

The girl had long brown hair and blue eyes. She wore a yellow kimono with a pink bow to hold it back. She had brown slippers and white socks. She had rope tied around her body to hold her down. She was stuck on the ground.

Above her was a demon. He had purple skin. He had dark black eyes. He had two large white horns on the top of his head. He had no shirt- which was disgusting because he was fat- and wore a brown skirt that went down to his knees. He had his large claws aiming at her.

"Wait Yune!" Kagome said as I pulled out my sword.

There was no time to wait. I had to go, even if the others haven't arrived here yet. I removed my sword from it's sheath and ran up to the demon. He turned around just as my sword sliced him in half. The girl screamed at the sight of the demon's body laying on the ground.

I knelt down to her and she nervously shook in fear. I scratched my claws against the rope. The rope dropped onto the ground and the girl sat up.

"You don't have to fear me." I told her as she nodded.

"Are you okay?" I asked her

"Y-Yes…I think I am." She replied

"Good, your father hired us to help you. We will take you home now, ok?"

"Behind you!"

I looked behind me and saw another demon, just like the other one, charge to me. I grabbed my sword and stood up. I got ready to fight as I saw 5 other demons were coming towards me and the girl in different directions. Damn it, they are surrounding us.

"Wind Scar!" I heard a familiar voice say as I saw him slice his sword down into the ground.

I saw a powerful force come and slice a demon into bits that was coming to my left. Inuyasha jumped down beside me as I starred at the remains of the powerful strike. The ground was mashed up. He just tore up the ground…With an attack?

Than I saw an arrow shot at a demon to my right. It was powered by this purple aura. And somehow I knew that was spiritual powers. No wonder Kagome is the incarnation of a priestess. She was obviously very powerful. Though she likes being protected by Inuyasha a lot. Kagome ran up beside me and got ready to fight another demon.

I watched as a Boomerang swung into a demon. Slicing the poor sucked in half. Sango came up behind me and caught the Boomerang as it came back to her. She was on Kirara. The little cat turned into this massive demon, but I could tell it was still the same little cute cat as before. It must trust Sango a lot.

Than I saw the next demon start to fly into something. Miroku stood in front of the demon with his right hand aiming at the demon. I saw a tunnel in his right hand and watched as the demon got sucked up into the tunnel. So that was the wind tunnel huh? Miroku came up to us and stood beside Sango.

The demon in front of me was now scared. I smiled and dropped my sword. Somehow I knew what I was doing. Or was it me? Some how I could feel somebody showing me what to do. I held my hand up to my face. This is too weird to be true…Father? Are you showing me how to do something?

I felt my body move on it's own. My body jumped up in the air aiming towards the demon. I smiled at myself. So I have cool powers too?

"Tiger claw!" I yelled as I sliced the demon with my claws.

The demon sliced in four with this new ability. I saw the white light form from the demons body from my power. His body fell to the ground as I stood up. Tiger claw? Thanks dad…You showed me how to fight even better in this timeline.

"Thank you!" the young girl sad as she ran up to us

"Your welcome." Kagome replied

"I used to think all demons were bad. But after what you showed me today, the compassion you had…I can see that not every demon is bad…Thank you so much." The girl told me as I smiled at her.

"Your welcome. Now let's get you back to your father. He's worried sick about you." I said as we began to walk back to the village.

When we came back into the father immediately ran up to his daughter. He hugged her, and she smiled as tears came out of her eyes.

"You are back!" The father said as the daughter nodded.

"It's all thanks to them." She said as her father let her go.

He came up to us and smiled.
"Thank you so much for saving my daughter. If there is anything you need just ask." The father asked as I saw Miroku about to speak.

Oh I heard about this. Kagome told me about what Miroku does after helping people. So it's true? He's going to ask them for things that they might not have. I walked up to him and punched him- lightly- in the face. He held his face as I walked up to the father.

"Thank you but we do not need anything more than information." I said as he looked at me.

"Y-You're a-" He began as I looked away

"She's a good one daddy. She protected me from the other demons." The daughter said interrupting her father.

"Oh…Thank you so much." He said as I smiled at him

"No problem. But can I ask you something?" I asked

"Anything."

"Have you heard anything about a evil demon named Naraku?"

"I have not, sorry."

"That is quite alright. Thank you for everything."

"I should be thanking you…"

"No need. Well anyways we should get going. Good bye."

We began to walk away from the village but the young girl ran up to me.

"Excuse me but what is your name?" She asked

"Yune." I told her

"I'm Haru. Thank you so much Lady Yune. All of this village shall know of the things you did for me. You are welcome back anytime." Haru explained as I smiled at her

"Thank you."

She waved good bye to me and ran back to the village with her father. I looked at everyone who gave me surprised looks.

"What?" I asked them

"You did amazing out there." Sango explained as I smiled

"Thank you." I replied

"You proved you can take care of yourself. Good job, Yune." Inuyasha told me

"Thanks Inuyasha." I said

"You punched me." Miroku complained as I laughed

"Well you deserved it! You were going to bug those poor people for money or random stuff. They've been through enough." I told him as he smiled

"How else are we going to get paid?"

"When you say there is a price at the beginning of the offer. Not at the end."

"Fine."

"He's just upset because he didn't get any of the things he wanted." Sango whispered as I chuckled.

"I know." I whispered back

We all began to walk towards another village called Akebi Village. Maybe we can get some information then.
