~*~Cursed To Be Alone~*~

Chapter Three

~*~A Nightmare never told~*~

Moonlight reflected off of the windows in the hut, the stars dazzled across the sky as making the hut seem to glow. Small drops of dew begin to form on the blades of grass for the morning. An elder man sat outside the hut and had a sword in his arms. He was the owner of this hut, and he lay outside, fast asleep. On the roof of the hut sat a white-haired hanyou. Amber eyes continued to look up at the starry night. Inside the hut layed two men, one has black hair, and the other has blonde. A small child was found sitting in the lap of the new member. Dusty brown hair cascaded around the child and soft breathing was heard from inside the new member's body.

The hanyou was on top guard, and that was why he sat on top of the roof. His ears flicked back as he heard soft breathing originating from someone's body. He opened his eyes, and stood up. He sensed a demon near; he jumped off the roof. He looked into the hut, with the help of the window, and a small snort was heard from him. He then looked ahead a large butterfly demon flapped its wings over the small village. Inuyasha looked up and drew his inherited sword. He then jumped onto the roof and quickly, with his demon speed and strength, he slashed the demon in five large pieces. He then sheathed his sword; it didn't have to transform for the demon was that weak. He then walked inside the hut, and walked over to a corner. He sat down and placed his sword down beside him. He looked around at every one, and sighed slightly. He closed his eyes and began to fall into a deep sleep, which was not normal for Inuyasha. He then slipped off into a dream state.

~*~Inuyasha's Dream State~*~

the morning came over the village where he and the others where staying. Sunlight rays then danced over the hanyou's eyelids. A groan of protest was heard and his eyes soon opened. He looked around, Sango and Miroku where up. His ears flicked backwards to find out where they were, helping villagers none the less. He also found that Shippou and Kilala were out playing with villager children. He then looked at the only remaining person in the hut. `Sayuri' he thought as he stood up and walked over to her sleeping form. He knelt down beside her and placed his clawed hand on her face, using his clawed hand, he brushed away some of the free strands of hair that have gotten in her face. He smiled some and pulled his clawed hand away as he saw her shiver. He then placed a small kiss on her cheek and stood up, looking down on her sleeping form. `She is beautiful.' He thought and smirked.

~*~Inuyasha wakes up~*~

A cold sweat could easily be found on the hanyou's forehead. Picking up his hand, he wiped it away and opened his eyes. He looked toward Sayuri; a snort was heard from him. Standing up, the hanyou then rubbed his eyes as the morning had come. He saw that Sayuri was up, and healing the young man whom had gotten poisoned. He walked outside, and looked around. Sango that was in the cornfields helping the villagers pick their harvest. Miroku was down near the river and was fishing for their breakfast. Ears flicked up, he heard the cat demon and the kitsune. `Shippou and Kilala are playing with the children.' He thought, and with a turn of his heel, began toward a forest. Soon enough, he found a good tree and jumped up into the tree with the help of his demon powers. He sat on the branch, and crossed his arms, looking up at the sky in thought.

The dusty brown haired maiden looked at the dog hanyou as he left. Sighing, she placed her right hand in the small bowl of water, which lay, beside her. Taking the cloth in both of her hands, which swam around the bowl, she picked it up out of the water. Soon, she began to squeeze the excess water out of the cloth. `Inuyasha does not seem to trust me much, maybe because I've just joined the gang.' She thought, and folded the cloth into a square and placed it on the boy's head. She then crushed a few herbs together, pressing them into the wound. The wound soon absorbed the herbs healing uses. She smiled some, and stood up. Feeling sweat on her forehead, she picked up a hand and wiped it off. "Finished." She smiled some, and then turned on her heel. She knelt down and picked up the basket that Kaede-sama had given to them. She placed her arm through the loop of the basket and picked it up. She stood up, and walked over to the elder man outside. "Sir, your son will be fine in a few days, make sure he gets rest, and give him this herb once a day." She said, and handed him a few herbs. She then stood up, and turned her head to see Inuyasha sitting in a tree. She then saw Miroku coming toward her, with ten fish in his hands.

"Sayuri!" The black haired man smiled as he ran toward her. He soon stopped in front of her. "I got fish for our break fast; Sango-Chan is getting the corn that we can also eat with." He said, his blue eyes looking at her. His staff was back at the river edge, "Here; I have to go get my staff." He said, and then walked toward the river edge. He then found his staff after looking around for a while, then, he picked it up and began toward where his friends where. `Sayuri has already made us her friends, Inuyasha will take some time to learn to be Sayuri's friend and trust her.' He thought, standing by the Demon Exterminator and watching Sayuri and Inuyasha argue.

Sayuri narrowed her eyes at Inuyasha; he had just told her that she smelt like fish. She placed her free hand in a ball and stood up, looking at him. "Well, if I am holding dead fish that Miroku caught, what do you expect me to smell like?" She asked, looking at Inuyasha.

The hanyou snorted, and narrowed his eyes at her. "Well, you should at least cook them so they have a good smell to them; it's very nasty smelling." He said, and turned so his back was to her. "I'll go get some wood." He said, and then walked into the forest.

Sayuri raged, her eyes narrowed. She ran in front of him and glowered at him. "Well, here, if I smell nasty, you hold this fish for me; I'll get the wood and take a bath." She saw his face was shocked that anyone would stand up to him. She then saw that his hands were out for the fish, she placed them in his hands and ran toward the forest.

Miroku looked at Sango, seeing the demon exterminator was as confused as he was. "Sango, did Inuyasha actually take the fish and not fling them back at her?" He asked in a soft whisper.

Sango nodded once, "Yeah...it's odd..." she muttered softly and then shrugged, holding a basket of corn. "Let's get this corn into the fish and cook them." she said.

Inuyasha looked at her and nodded; he sat down and began to slice the fish. He removed the skin, and all the other parts except for the meat, he removed the bone as well. (A/N: Sorry If I'm grossing anyone out here, I had to see a dead fish outside my house so yeah..)

Sayuri took a few big logs and alot of small sticks. She walked back to her friends, and sat down beside Inuyasha. She rubbed the sticks together and began a fire. It was after that when she stood up and collected a few rocks and some sand and put them around the fire. She then picked up a towel and a beautiful kimono. It was silk, and had red satin butterfly designs on it, behind the red satin was dark purple silk that covered the whole Kimono. A white obi and sandals where also in her arms. "I'll be back in a bit, oh and Inuyasha. Don't be a pig demon and eat all the fish, Shippou told me how you are when it comes to fish and corn." she smirked and then walked into the woods. She heard a yell and a yelp. She laughed, "Inuyasha, must you really beat up Shippou-Chan?" She asked softly to herself. She took a bath and sighed. She smiled and soon came out of the water. `I wonder why Inuyasha doesn't trust me yet..' She thought. She sighed, and closed her eyes relaxing in the warm water.

Inuyasha looked at Shippou and growled. "Your not suppose to tell anyone that! Besides, she's a new member and she could be working for Naraku!" He snapped.

Shippou snorted, "Inuyasha, if she worked for Naraku, then why is her scent passion flowers and lavender and doesn't have a scent of Naraku on her?!" He growled.

Sango shook her head, "Guys, stop fighting." She said, both of them glowered at her, walked away from one another and began to eat. She smiled and continued to eat.

Miroku shook his head, "Inuyasha why do you think that every time someone new comes into the gang they are working for Naraku?" He asked calmly enough.

Inuyasha sipped up the bit of fish meat that dangled from his mouth, "Because normally Naraku controls people who want to be near me, besides you guys."

"Inuyasha, that is nasty." Sayuri shook her head, and she was wearing a hair tie and it was a high ponytail. She shook her head and knelt down beside Inuyasha and Shippou; she took her fish and corn and began to eat.

Miroku was staring at how Sayuri was dressed, a bit of drool came from his mouth and he couldn't help it. He walked over to her and pulled one of the old Miroku's on her.

Sayuri shrieked and since Inuyasha was the only thing near her, she jumped near him. "You pervert!" She stood up and ran over to Miroku and slapped him so that he was knocked out.

Inuyasha laughed, Shippou was on the ground laughing. "That's the second strongest girl we know!!" Shippou laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He smiled and then sat up. Inuyasha smirked.

"You have good aim Sayuri." Inuyasha said.

Sayuri turned her head and looked at Inuyasha. `No way, he just complimented me...a demon's approaching...' she thought and then turned around. "A demon.." she muttered to them. She then pulled out her sword and jumped up, a bat demon was flying over head, and he saw her.

Black eyes hard as coal looked at her and bat wings fluttered. He snorted and then opened his mouth toward her. Yellow stings were visible in his mouth and the catch was the fact that they were poisonous. He shot one of them at her and smirked, seeing it enter her shoulder and he looked at the sword as it slashed him in half.

Sayuri then, feeling the poison enter her body yelled out in pain and closed her eyes. She sheathed her sword and landed on her knees on the ground and was crouched down. Her hands covering her wound in her shoulder.

Inuyasha was astounded, he hadn't even picked up a scent and that demon could have poisoned them all. Now, he owned her something. He stood up and ran toward her, "Sayuri let me see your wound." He said softly and kindly enough.

Sayuri looked up at him and noticed that he was speaking softly and kindly. She nodded once, "O-okay.." she spoke just as soft and removed her hands from where the fang was in her shoulder. She felt his hand on her shoulder and a second later it was covered in her blood.

"Monk get over here!!" Inuyasha yelled toward Miroku, who immediately rushed over to her. He layed her down on her back and removed the fang, which was a slow process.

She yelped out in pain every time he moved it just a bit. She soon felt Shippou's hand in hers and she looked over at him, he was beside her. "It's alright Shippou; I'm going to be fine." She said softly.

Miroku got a needle and thread; he had to stitch up the wound. He began to and she screamed out in pain.

Sango and Inuyasha held her legs down and Shippou held down her arms. "You'll be fine." Inuyasha said in a soft whisper. He then waited until Miroku was done, but it took along time because he had to make sure that stitches where tight and secure. Once he was done, Sayuri was knocked out tired. He scooped her up in his arms and saw that she held three shards in her hand from the demon. "We will continue our hunt until nightfall. Until then Sango you ride on Kilala with Shippou and Miroku runs with me. I'll have Sayuri in my arms since she is knocked out and wouldn't be happy to wake up with that monk holding her." He said. Everyone nodded.

Kilala transformed into a large fire cat demon and knelt down. Sango jumped onto Kilala and so did Shippou. Shippou looked over at her and sighed then back ahead.

Miroku and Inuyasha began to run. Inuyasha held Sayuri close, noting that she had the shards is one of the reasons why he had offered to be the one to hold her. He didn't care if she was with the monk or not but, he had to make sure that the one who saved their lives would be safe.

~*~At nightfall~*~

Sayuri was awake, and taking a drink of water from a river. She splashed some water on her face and sighed softly. She looked at her reflection in the water and sighed. She had been able to save her friends, but, Inuyasha was being skittish around her. What did he do that he was being skittish around her?

Inuyasha just didn't want her to know that he had been nice to her. He sighed and jumped up into his tree. Miroku, Sango, Kilala, and Shippou were all asleep. Sayuri was coming back and she tried to figure out something.

Inuyasha looked down at her, `I can't tell her I helped her, she would be all happy and glad and want me to be nice more often..' He thought. He shivered, he was already sometimes nice. He then snorted and looked away. `She's just a stupid wench anyway.' He thought. Not knowing that he had muttered that part out loud.

"Inuyasha, you should get to know people before you judge them." Sayuri said, having heard his words. She then walked over to her blanket and snuggled up to it. She knew she had to find the demon that killed her mother and father and then get everything she lost back, kill him, and make a wish to get her memory revised.

Inuyasha snorted; "Shut up wench." he turned on his back and fell into a light, very sensitive sleep. His ears swiveled at the noises of everyone breathing.

~*~Next Morning~*~

Sayuri stood up, and stretched, she looked toward where she heard a snap of a twig. She was back at the river to clean her wound. "Who are you?" She demanded.

A man with long black hair, crimson eyes and a kimono on smirked. "Hello. My name is Naraku; I am here to help you." He said, and brought his hand to her side.

She growled and stepped back, "Don't touch me." She narrowed her eyes. Then she felt something hit her head, and she was knocked out. She fell to the ground with Kagura standing behind her. Kagura had hit her with the fan, in order to knock out the girl.

Golden orbs watched Naraku. He growled and jumped in front of Sayuri. "If she said don't touch her, then don't touch her." He punched Naraku in the face, but it only revealed to be another puppet. He turned back toward Kagura but she was gone. He then snorted and shook Sayuri. "Wake up!" He yelled.

Sayuri growled. "DON'T SCREAM AT ME!!!! I HAVE A BIG HEADACHE!! IT'S FROM YOU PROBABLY NARAKU!!" Her eyes were closed and she soon opened them only to find her face a few inches from Inuyasha's.

"Don't EVER call me Naraku again!!" He growled through seethed teeth. He dropped her and then stood up. He walked toward the camp.

Sayuri took in deep breaths and looked toward Inuyasha. "But I-I mean I didn't mean to.." She stood up and walked toward the camp. The others were ready, and Miroku had a new slap mark on his face, Sango was glaring at him and Shippou and Kilala were playing.

"Inuyasha let me explain please!"Sayuri said, "Naraku came after me that's why I thought you were him because he knocked me out!" She said standing in front of him.

"Shut up just shut up wench!" He growled. He hoped to the lord that she wasn't the one that could control him with the rosary.

Sayuri got infuriated, "Sit DOWN Inuyasha and let me explain!!" She growled.

As soon as the words reached his ears, his body slammed down to the ground. He growled, "Sayuri!" he snapped as he looked towards her, only to see Kouga standing beside her.

He smiled, "Hello, my fair lady," He said and took her hands into his.

Sayuri looked at him, "Let me go." she said calmly, a few minutes waiting when he didn't answer, she took her hands out of his. She walked off, and remained completely silent until Inuyasha came back. They proceeded to begin their traveling, that is, until a voice halted their process.

"Hello, Sister..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I've missed you so much!" Sayuri hugged him and Inuyasha, his face looked, could it be, a twinge of jealousy?

Who's Inuyasha mad at and why?
