I do not own InuYasha (though I certainly wished I did) just the characters and the plot and, of course, the idea. Enjoy! :)

No reviews this time around but I'm okay with that. My muses demanded that I put this chapter out before any could arrive.

Anyway! Onto the chapter! xD

Chapter 5

"That's ridiculous! Preposterous!" Kaede snarled, her hands glowing a light, yet, bright pink. Sara just stared at him confused and ignored her friend. This was...a lie. It had to be. She felt her anger grow slightly and scoffed. Kitsunes were always tricksters in the stories she heard as a child.

"Think about it, Sara-chan. Your father's name was Senji, your mother's Kira. Together their names have a power that might shock you. Did you learn the history of the Land of the East yet?" he asked and both girls shook their heads.

He smirked and said, "They were Lord and Lady around 300 years ago. Your mother was a powerful miko but also a powerful hanyou as well. Your father was an inu-youkai, more powerful than your mother and her father combined! You have power that no one else can touch! Only having 75% youkai blood in your veins and 25% miko blood as well makes you very powerful! I am also here to take you to my okaa-san."

"I'm sorry," Sara whispered, her anger skyrocketing, "but I need more than just words to believe you." Shippo nodded and then shrugged, stepping back.

"They're all yours," he said and the youkai at his feet charged. Sara paled. She didn't realize that the kit her ancestor knew and loved like her own could be so...cruel. Kaede put up a barrier immediately. The weaker youkai were purified the instant they touched the barrier. The stronger ones were able to pass through easily enough with a couple of third-degree burns.

"Purification Strike!" Kaede screamed as she swung Sara's sword diagonally. A beam of light streaked across the hallway, purifying those in its wake. Sara eyed her friend in awe as she spun and kicked a youkai back into the pink barrier. Both them cut or kicked back their attackers with a speed and grace equal to that of a youkai. They were able to hold their own well until Sara got poisoned by claws and she went down, slumping against Kaede after she hit the floor.

"Kioshi-san?!" Kaede called out, her attention going to her friend. A youkai took the advantage and forced his fist though her stomach. Shippo widened his forest green eyes in surprise. He didn't say anything about killing them. A gargled scream came from her blood covered lips as she fell to her knees.

"NO!" Sara shrieked catching Kaede from her sitting position as Kaede's brown eyes met hers. Tears fell from Sara's chin as the light in Kaede's eyes began to dim.

"G-gomen n-na s-sai," Kaede stuttered and Sara almost laughed. Even now her best friend was apologizing for something she didn't do.

"For what?" she choked out and Kaede smiled. It was a beautiful smile, worthy of one back though it was weak and shaky.

"I-I w-won't be a-able to k-keep my p-promise to you," she replied and Sara shook her head. What was she talking about? Kaede's eyes went blank and hazy, her heart beat all but disappeared, and her body began to grow cold. Kureno Kaede, Sara's first ever friend, had died.

"Hey, Shippo-dono," Sara called out sarcastically and Shippo directed his attention to her, "you just pissed off the wrong ningen."

Sara looked up and stared him dead in the eye. A black lightning bolt on her forehead, pointed canines and ear, and her eyes were blood red with a blue pupil signifying that she changed to a full youkai.

Shippo stumbled back two steps, fear radiating in the air, his fear, and he could tell that Sara could smell it. It made her smile crazily as she looked down to her dead friend. She put her hand over Kaede's death wound, her hand glowing a light pink mixed with a dark red, and healed it. Kaede gasped, her breath coming back to her, and Shippo blinked.

"She has her mother's gifts," Shippo stated softly to himself as Kaede blinked in confusion and sat up off of Sara's lap.

"Kioshi-san you..." Kaede's voice trailed off once she noticed her friend was a full-blooded youkai. Fear spiked her scent causing Sara to tilt her head at her friend and sniff. She smiled even more crazily, blood-lust causing her eyes to get an even redder hue to them.

"I would back away from Sara-chan, Kureno-chan. Slowly if you will," Shippo called out as Kaede got to her feet and backed away from Sara as slow as she possibly could. Sara made sure Kaede was out of harm's way before picking up her sword and getting up. Shippo was hers.

No one knew that she had 75% youkai blood and 25% percent miko blood running through her veins, Shippo thought as Sara charged at him. He dodged easily as she skidded to a stop and turned around, a snarl resonating from her chest. Boy was she pissed. Well, beyond pissed, really. A ferocious roar came from her throat, causing the windows to rattle and those around her to cower in fear. Her crazed eyes landed on Shippo once more and she charged again, this time using full speed, and made a deep gash from his right shoulder blade to his lower back when he couldn't block it. He howled in pain and took a deep breath through his nose to smell her emotions. Hunger, hatred, fear, and excitement for the kill, he thought as she crouched down and tilted her head to the side dropping her sword in the process.

"What's the matter, Shippo-dono?" Sara taunted, her voice deeper and more animalistic than human, "Afraid of a 15 year old girl?"

"You wish, pup," he growled and charged at her. Sara's thin lips curled up into a predatory smile as she sailed over him, her claws digging into the sides of his face creating long, deep gashed on his cheeks. He cried out in pain as she landed on the balls of her feet and turned, a smirk on her now pale lips as she licked the blood off her fingers.

"Mmh. Tasty," she commented and Shippo stared at her in disgust. That was just plain gross, even for a youkai.

"Kioshi-san, snap out of it!" Kaede cried out and Sara's eyes looked in her direction for a split second before going back to Shippo.

"Sara-chan, I know you're upset but killing me won't solve anything," Shippo said, his hands help up in surrender. She laughed and rolled her head.

"I think it will," she purred before grabbing her blade and charging. Shippo drew his own blade from its sheath and held it defensively in front of him.

"BLOOD FURY!" Sara cried as she swung her sword horizontally the blood surrounding her rising up, and in the shape of her sword, came at Shippo faster than Kaede's eyes could see. She wanted to close her eyes but couldn't as she watched her friend's eyes light up with victory. The battle was won, and Shippo lost.

Shit! Shippo thought as he tensed and waited for it pierce his heart and kill him but it never did.

"Oi! Shippo!" a voice called out as a giant sword blocked Shippo's chest, blood splattered upon the blade, and Sara snarled. "Didn't I teach you better than this?"

"I-Inuyasha-sama!" Kaede gasped and quickly bowed.

Inuyasha-sama..., Sara thought as her youkai blood began to disappear and bring forth her human side. Her fangs and claws receded even though the black lightning bolt stayed and the two black stripes on her cheeks, telling those that saw her that she had youkai blood running in her veins.

"Yes, you did but damn! Sara-chan is fast," Shippo replied with a nervous laugh and sheathed his blade. "Nice timing, otou-san."

Inuyasha had long silver-white hair that went to his lower back, eyes that were a honey gold, puppy ears on the top of his head, pointed canines and claws, and was wear a red haroi. She noticed a black beaded necklace around his neck and her sword clattered to the ground. She felt fear and guilt grasp her heart as tears filled her eyes. She had nearly killed someone. Oh Kami, she nearly killed someone!

"Forgive me!" Sara cried and got down on her hands and knees to bow.

Also, didn't mean to kill Kaede off but something needed to trigger Sara's youkai powers! Don't hate me! ^-^;Review and tell me what you think of this chapter!
