Hey guys, back with more! I won't be posting anything next week because I'll be away. I won't be dragging my computer with me since it might get stolen. Sorry about that. Anyway, let's get this started!

Thanks a lot for the reviews!

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or Nurarihyon

The Onmyoji and Bloody Wolf

Jess was narrowing her eyes at Yura, not too sure what an onmyoji was. She was wearing the same outfit as the other girls, but she had short, spiky black hair. Her expression almost seemed emotionless, but she could already tell it wasn't a face she always wore. She looked a bit frail, but Jess had learned the hard way not to underestimate appearances.

"Sorry for asking, but what the heck is an onmyoji?" she asked, Kiyotsugu answering instead.

"An onmyoji is a very strong Human who uses strong Spiritual Powers to defeat vile Demons!" he shortly said, Jess making it seem like she was confused, but knew very well what he meant.

"We also summon Shikigami, which I usually use," Yura added, Jess thinking for a second. And if you lay a hand on Sesshomaru I'll burn you to ashes. Why is Rikuo, the Third Heir of the Nura Clan, hanging out with someone who fights Demons? She thought, looking over at him.

"Guess I'll have a lot to learn while walking around with you guys," she said, Kiyotsugu smiling a lot and started rambling again. She sighed, sensing a familiar Demons nearby. Kirara? No, why would she even be here? Wait, didn't InuYasha say Kagome came here? This isn't good. She thought, looking around. Rikuo noticed what she was doing, looking over at Yura.

"There's a Demon nearby. Small one, but a Demon nonetheless," she said, Jess looking at her from the corner of her eye. Kiyotsugu was getting very excited. Jess smirked when she moved her head again, making sure no one saw her. I can use him to get going and figure out if it really is Kagome and Kirara. She thought, looking back at the group.

"Why don't we go and find out? Might as well," she said, running ahead of them. They all called after her, except for Rikuo. He acted worried, but he knew she was going to see who exactly the Demons was. Maybe it's someone from where that Sesshomaru's from. If so, then it would be best if she got him or her out of there. On the other hand, if she goes by herself, they'll get suspicious. He thought, going ahead of them.

"I'll go after her, you guys stay here!" he called before being hidden by the shadows of the trees. Yura was about to say against him, before feeling the presence of another Demon.

"There's one more, stronger than that one. Let's go," she said, walking the opposite direction and the rest of the group following. Kana was a bit hesitant about who to follow. She was worried about Rikuo, and she felt a tiny bit jealous that he went after her without too much thought. She closed her eyes and followed Yura, wanting to stay near someone who knew what they were doing.

And the Demon they sensed was Koga, who wasn't used to having to hide from Humans. Seeing how he'd just destroy the villages anyway. He walked around, trying to catch Kagome's scent again since there was a lot of machines around that blocked the scent.

"Damn it, this isn't going anywhere. What the hell is that foul smell anyway?" he asked, sticking to the forest. He wasn't used to having to hide, but he wasn't an idiot either. He came here by himself, just going in the open would almost be like asking to be killed. He looked around, hearing footsteps walking near him. He looked up, seeing Johannes and Marie, the girl looking rather annoyed.

"Where did she go this time? I swear, she's way to used to walking around all over the place. She even opened her wound again and was stuck at someone's place, she didn't even say who!" she asked, Johannes just laughing nervously.

"I'm sure she's just fine. Maybe you should cool down a bit, Marie. Don't want anyone to think you're weird," he said, Koga laughing. She already is. He thought quickly, getting up and was going to make a break for it. However, both Marie and Johannes noticed him, as well as the group of middle students walking towards him.

"He's gonna get seen at this rate! We gotta get him out of sight!" she whispered, sounding rather annoyed.

"Sure, but how do you plan on-" his sentence was cut short by Marie suddenly pulling out a small hammer out of her purse. "Why the heck do you have a hammer in your bag?" he almost yelled, Marie not answering him. Oh no, she better take it easy on him. He thought going into the forest ahead of her. And right on cue, she hit Koga in the head with the hammer and he was knocked flat. Marie knew she wouldn't be able to carry him, so she grabbed his tail and started dragging him, a small line of blood coming from his head.

"Sleepy time, wolfy," she joked, seeing Johannes. She went past him as he went out, Yura and the gang showing up.

"It's around here somewhere," she said, Johannes hearing her.

"Um…is there anything I can help you with?" he asked, Kana nodding.

"Yura here says there's a Demon around here. Have you seen any?" she asked, Johannes shaking his head. He told them he'd been walking through the woods and the only thing he'd seen was a small dog with a dead mouse. He had to say something since there was blood on the ground.

"I see, thank you for your help. It must've gone another way then," she said, leading them around the forest. He sighed and walked in, seeing Koga awake and not in a good mood.

"What the hell is wrong with you! You can't just go up behind someone and beat them with a hammer!" he yelled, Johannes apologizing for her.

"Sorry about what she did. We had to get you out of sight somehow and talking to you didn't seem like much of an option. By the way, what are you doing here?" he asked, Koga cooling down and explained.

Jess was looking around, hearing Kirara calling to her left. She also heard someone following her behind her. If it's that girl, then there's gonna be trouble. She thought, going towards where she heard the noise. She saw both Kagome and Kirara, sighing slightly.

"If you're gonna wander around this place, at least make sure no one can actually sense Kirara. Honestly," she said, Kagome walking back a few steps and met with her annoyed look.

"Hehe, hey Jess. Guess some people are able to sense Demonic aura around here," she said, laughing nervously.

"And one of them happens to fight Demons. You should get back to where InuYasha and the others are. Staying here isn't gonna help much. Oh, and when you find that stupid wolf, drag him with you too," she said, Kagome looking confused.

"Wolf? You mean Koga? How does he know I'm here?" she asked, Jess explaining to her what Sango and the others told her earlier. Kagome sighed, not really wanting to deal with him at the moment. Just after she had finished explaining, Rikuo come out of the trees and looked around, noticing Jess's hair.

"Jess? You there?" he asked, just to be sure. Kagome gasped and Kirara started growling, but Jess gave them a calm hand telling them he wasn't their enemy.

"Yeah, over here. Did anyone follow you?" she asked, Rikuo shaking his head as he walked over to where she was. He noticed Kagome right away and saw Kirara in her arms, who was still slightly growling.

"Is this the Demon we sensed earlier?" he asked, Jess nodding as he looked closer at Kirara. He smiled slightly, Kirara calming down, jumping at him and started rubbing herself against his cheek. He laughed a bit, her fur tickling him.

"Well, wasn't expecting her to like him so fast," Kagome said, sounding very surprised.

"That doesn't really concern you. Now get back before you get into serious trouble. That Half-Breed can't protect you while you're here," she said, Kirara jumping off him as she said that, Kagome looking annoyed.

"Why do you always have to act like such a jerk. I can do whatever I want without having to listen to you," she said, walking off with Kirara in her heels. She's gonna be a big problem. Not that I have to even care about her. As long as she doesn't get in the way, I'll leave her be. She thought.

"Shouldn't we go after her? I mean, she can be in big trouble if she's left alone. Besides, the Demons that aren't part of the Nura Clan might see her as a tasty lunch. I know that cat is with her, but still," he asked, Jess closing her eyes and walking the opposite direction.

"No, Kirara can take care of Kagome just fine on her own. Besides, she's the one who insists on staying," she said, also telling him they should go and find the others. Rikuo nodded and looked in the direction Kagome went, still worried. I'll go check on her later, if I get the chance that is. He thought, following her. They quickly met up with the rest of the gang, Yura looking at them.

"Did you find anything?" she asked, Rikuo and Jess shaking their heads.

"No, and it didn't seem like there was anything over there either. What about you, where did you guys go to?" she asked, Kiyotsugu answering.

"Yura thought she sensed a more powerful Demon the opposite direction, so I lead the group with courage and fearless, but the Demon got away," Rikuo already knew he was exaggerating, so he just laughed a bit as Jess sighed. She looked around, smelling blood not too far from where they were.

"Did you find anything at all?" she asked, Kana sort of saying yes and no.

"Well, one of your classmates talked about seeing a dog that got a mouse," she explained, Jess looking very confused. And so did Rikuo. "I don't really know, that's what he said," she added after seeing their expression. The blond boy, who seemed to be always around Kiyotsugu, was looking around for someone. He wore the same uniform as the other boys, his eyes small and dark.

"Has anyone seen Tsurara today? I haven't heard anything about her not coming today," he asked, Rikuo looking a bit worried. Tsurara…wasn't that Demon called that when she's in a Human disguise? What exactly is she doing, anyway? She thought, Rikuo quickly coming up with an excuse.

"I met her earlier. She said she had to do some work at home and couldn't meet us today," he said, trying to sound normal. Jess easily heard he was lying, but the others bought it. Yura wasn't too easily fooled, but she didn't say anything about it. Then, a strong presence from somewhere nearby, the three with the strongest senses getting worried.

"What was that?" Yura asked, Jess narrowing her eyes as she looked towards where the presence came from.

"Is something wrong? Are there Demons nearby?" Natsumi asked, Yura not answering. Jess didn't say anything either, Rikuo saying that they weren't sure. No one said anything while most of them were letting Yura think. Seeing how they thought only she could sense stuff like that.

"That's not a Demon, so why does it have such a strong aura around it?" she asked out loud, making everyone worried. She has a point. I can't sense any Demonic Aura, but I can sense Jewel Shards. Why are jewels Shards here? Is it Kagome's? No, they're pure. These are tainted by evil, so they're defiantly not the same Shards. Jess thought, Rikuo looking worried.

"Maybe we should just leave. I don't think we should confront whatever it is," he suggested, Yura shaking her head and Kiyotsugu going against it.

"No, we must bring fourth our courage and stop the troublemakers to make sure they do not hurt our town!" he said, almost like he was making a speech. Jess looked over at them, thinking they were all idiots. She sighed, the other girls walking towards her.

"Um…are you going with them or are you staying here?" they asked, Jess thinking about the same thing herself. If I let them go by themselves, they might get killed. Whatever this is, it has to do with the era where I basically live now. She thought, closing her eyes.

"I think so. Unless you want them to get careless and killed?" she said, all of them shaking their heads. "Then it would be best if all of us come along so they at least have a reason to be careful," she suggested, all of them feeling a bit scared first but nodded and got ready to leave.

Marie, Johannes and Koga sat in the forest, the two Humans trying to process what he had told them earlier.

"Well, that does explain why you're here. But wouldn't that mean that other Demons from your time can come through here whenever they please?" she asked, Koga pondering for a moment.

"That is very likely. Who knows, maybe someone has already come here. All I hope is that the band of Seven don't figure out about this place," he sort of said to himself, Johannes looking confused and worried.

"The band of Seven? Who are they?" he asked, Koga getting ready for a long explanation.

"They're seven Human mercenaries with incredible skills and power. As far as I know, they were brought back from the dead with the help of Sacred Jewel Shards that Naraku gave them. I haven't met all of them, but I have one at least that I recall.

His name is Jakotsu, and he has a weird sword which sort of moves like a snake. And he's the creepiest of them all, I can already tell. He's insane in my opinion," he said, Marie looking worried.

"So…if any of them came here, we would be done for to put it simply," she said, Koga slightly nodding.

"Unless there's Demons here to protect this place. Humans have tried going against them, to no success. So as far as I can tell, only Demons really stand a chance," he said, Johannes starting to think about staying closer to him than wander about alone now. Koga's ears twitched, bushes moving around behind them.

"What….is that?" Marie asked, something jumping out and making her scream. Koga covered his ears while moving away, meeting the eyes of a annoyed Half-Breed.

"You shouldn't sneak up on us, you stupid mutt," he said right away, InuYasha not saying anything at first.

"Like you can complain. According to Sango you were here looking for Kagome, so why are you here talking to these two?" he asked, Marie looking very, very pissed off. Johannes noticed it, and tried to make the two canines listen, but they weren't paying attention.

Then, the end of a hammer hit InuYasha in the head to get him low enough for someone to start almost pulling his ears off.

"Don't you EVER scare me like that again!" Marie yelled, holding back a little bit so people wouldn't hear her. She stopped after about 2 minutes, InuYasha's head hurting like hell. At least he got a bit of pain as well so I'm not the only one. Koga thought, almost feeling sorry for him.

"I don't get why Kagome thinks you're helpless when you're a maniac," InuYasha whispered to himself, hoping she didn't hear him. And he was lucky as well. After recovering a bit, he asked where Kagome was.

"We didn't even know she was here. Jess has most likely already found her if Kirara is wither like you said. Although, I hope someone else doesn't find them," Johannes said, both of them looking confused. "Some students seem to have made a club to hunt down Demons in the town, for some odd reason. And it seems like one of them can actually sense Demonic Aura," he explained, both of them getting up.

"Well then what are we doing here? We should go and find them before they get seen!" they said together, sounding scary in sync. They looked at ech other, Marie sighing.

"I wish Kagome was here now so she could shut you both up," she said, InuYasha was about to comment before sensing a familiar presence. Oh no, not him again. He thought, sniffing the air. Koga did the same thing, sensing the same presence. "Now what?" she asked, InuYasha narrowing his eyes and looked behind them, grabbing Johannes by the collar while Koga picked up Marie and jumped away just in time before flames engulfed them.

"Tch, you just had to move and make this harder for me, didn't you? Oh well, once I take care of you and find that girl with that blade, I'll be leaving," a male voice said, one that neither Marie nor Johannes recognized. However, both InuYasha and Koga recognized it.

"Renkotsu, one of the members of the Band of Seven," he said, Marie eyeing the man. The first thing she noticed was the purple tattoo on his face, not too sure what it was supposed to mean if anything. He wore a blue bandana, same color undershirt and a reddish-orange armor. He also had a gourd nearby which he could easily reach.

"Why are you here?" Koga asked, Renkotsu not answering. "Don't ignore me!" he yelled as a reaction.

"Why I'm here doesn't have anything to do with you. Now, why don't you be good and just stay put so I can easily kill you all right here," he said, taking the gourd.

"Both of you, get out of here now. You don't want to be nearby once we start to fight this guy," InuYasha said, neither of them going against him as they ran as fast as they could. Renkotsu didn't bother with them, knowing they wouldn't be worth killing. He focused his attention on Koga and InuYasha again.

OK, I'll stop here. This one wasn't too long either…I'm getting lazy! But yeah, this came out a day early since I'll be leaving very, very early tomorrow. Anyway, leave a review and I'll see ya next chapter!
