-Friend or Foe-

Kagome and her youkai friend got up early the next day, just in time to finish seeing the sun rise. It is true, they were quite hungry, but Kagome had a mission in mind and food would not stop her from completing it.

"Come on little youkai, it's time for us to go." Let's just say that the feline was not very pleased with this.

"We'll stop in a couple of hours." Somewhat satisfied the feline followed after her.

+++( Four hours later)+++

Kagome was walking with renewed strength while the feline drowsily tried to keep up with her.

"Oh, don't worry; we'll stop in an hour!" The youkai just kept going.

`That strange human has been saying that for hours now. I should just leave her, but she's defenseless against other demons.' The youkai growled while pondering its situation.

Kagome squinted her eyes in deep concentration, "Is that a red blob coming towards us?" She stopped for a second due to a harsh tug inside of her chest, "We…we have to get out of here! That's not a blob, it's a-a…youkai."

It was actually quite a humorous site seeing a human girl and miniature youkai run into the forest utterly bewitched.

`Where did it go? I'm sure it was right in front of us.'

Kagome didn't feel the tug at her heart so she let out a sigh of relief.

"That was a close one." Kagome whispered, but the feline didn't feel quite the same way. It felt somewhat…disturbed.

"A little too close…girl." A sly, feminine voice echoed behind her.

Kagome froze. It suddenly felt very cold, the goose bumps were instantly rising on her arms, the sensory neurons felt light panting on the back of her neck, and the most frightening of all multiple arms raising Kagome into the air. Kagome screamed for dear life.

"LET GO OF ME!" She kicked and screamed, trying to retrieve her arms from the centipede creature, but it only proved futile.

The cat youkai tried to transform into its larger state, but it was too weak because it had not eaten in a while.

"I am Mistress Centipede, and I sense the shikon no tama inside of you…" The youkai hissed.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about." She began to cry. As she was crying, the cat youkai had tried to vanquish the evil youkai, but instead it was merely knocked unconscious.

Kagome had heard of the shikon no tama, but it had been lost to the world for decades. The youkai, baring its sharp fangs, mercilessly ripped it from her side, but the miko's scream had not fallen onto deaf ears. It had actually fallen onto furry ears.

"Why you piece of shit! The jewel is mine!"

This was the same red blob Kagome had seen earlier. Her eyes, barely opened, had tried to remember the site of her savior, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

"It is mine hanyou!" The centipede spat.

"Not if I can fucking help it!" With that, the dog demon released its claws, shredding the low class demon into oblivion.

`With that out of my way…I'll just get my jewel and go.'

The cocky hanyou stopped after hearing someone whimper in pain. From what he could see, which was only a feminine hand, he said, "Go burden someone else, wench." Bending down to retrieve the jewel the cat youkai hissed at him, "Fuck off…" but when his hand touched the jewel it seemed to burn him causing him to stumble back a few steps and land on his butt.

"Please, help me." It was then that he noticed the girl in her miko garbs.

"Kikyou?" The demon sympathetically asked, "You couldn't even defeat that low class demon!!" He quickly regained his cocky attitude, "That's what you get for pinning me to that tree…?" He noticed that she was severely bleeding from her side. Kagome soon passed out from the loss of blood.

"Aw shit, now I'm stuck with her." Even though the demon was rude and obnoxious, he wasn't heartless.

After making camp right where they were, the demon quickly removed her clothes, blushing at seeing her, even though she was wearing restraints. The cat demon growled at him.

"Shut up you flea infested…" He stopped after hearing the sharp intake of caused by the girl's injury. He quickly bandaged her and covered her with his haori.

`Why wasn't Kikyou able to defend herself?

+++(Next Morning)+++

"Mom…I think I'm sick." Kagome groaned while trying to get up.

"Do I look like your mother Kikyou?" The hanyou snapped back, "You owe me one big of a thank you for saving your ass."

"Y-You are a youkai?" Kagome stuttered.

"Are you feeling alright Kikyou?"

"Stop calling me that! I'm not Kikyou! And…and, who are you?"

"Wow, you must've hit your head really hard Kikyou. Maybe you have amnesia, and don't tell me you don't remember me, because I know you do. Whatever seal you have on that jewel, you better take off because it's mine."

"I'm not KIKYOU! I'm Kagome. Say it with me Ka-go-me! You…you stupid HANYOU!"

Inuyasha looked hurt, but managed to come back, "Yeah, you're right. You can't be Kikyou. She smelled way better than you." He wrinkled his sensitive nose in disgust, "Plus…you're too ugly to be her."

"I ought to purify your sorry behind right here!"

"Oh, I'm so afraid." He replied sarcastically, "Just undo whatever witch craft, or should I say bitch craft, you put on MY jewel."

"Well," Kagome started while picking up the jewel, "If you want it so bad…go and catch it!" With that she threw the jewel up into the air. The demons eyes grew as large as saucers.

"Whad'ya do that for?!" He asked forcefully, "Aw shit…" His eyes lifted upwards, Kagome followed his gaze.

A large bird had taken hold of the jewel and was flying away with it.

"Don't worry hanyou, I'll get it." Kagome replied with a somewhat cocky attitude. She grabbed her bow and arrows, aiming for the heart of the creature.

`Two birds with one stone. I'll get the jewel and breakfast.'

Kagome released the arrow, but instead of hitting the heart, it hit the beak, causing the jewel to shatter and some of the remainder to fall.

"Look what you did now bitch!!"

"Oops?" Kagome shrugged her shoulders, "Well hanyou, if you want it so bad, then you can go and search for it!"

"Oh no! You broke it due to your horrible aiming, so I'm dragging your ass with me, and…it's Inuyasha."

"What?"

"That's my name. Inuyasha, not hanyou."

"Oh…sorry about that."

"Feh!"

It was then that she actually noticed him. He didn't look that much older than she was, but then again demons didn't age as quickly as humans. He had long, ruffled white hair going down his back, gorgeous amber eyes, and cute fuzzy ears.

In a mere second her hands were on top of his head tweaking his ears.

`Oh, it's so cute! He's purring.'

"What're you doing wench? Stop playing with my ears!"

"But…they're so adorable!"

"Pfft! I am not adorable."

"I didn't say you were adorable, Inuyasha." Kagome stated, "I said your ears were adorable, and I…can't help you look for your shards."

"Why not?!"

"I'm heading to the west to meet my father." Kagome replied.

"Well he can wait, but I can't! So let's go." Inuyasha grabbed her arm, and was tugging her away.

Kagome pulled her arm back, "No, it can't wait. You may come with on my trip and we'll collect whatever shards are in our way. I'll meet with my father, and if I decide that I still want to help, I'll help you collect the rest."

"No!"

"It's either that, or nothing, so take it or leave it." Kagome gained a bit more independence right then and there. This is what would help her on her journey of growing up.

Aitu- I feel honored that you take your time to write a review. No, Sango doesn't know Inuyasha and Miroku, or maybe she does? I haven't decided that yet. I'm 75% sure Shippo will be in this story. I can't find where the other 25% is. Naraku, hm…he'd most likely be in here except I just need to figure out a place to put him. I have other plans for Kohaku. Dai left the day before Kagome did, but I don't think they'll be running into each other. If they do, SURPRISE. I'm not really sure where I'm going with Dai right now. Yes Sesshoumaru is still Lord of the Western lands. He will positively be in this story. What did you hear about him and Kagome? Rubber ducky? Everyone seems to be using "Ciao" these days. Also…I have a question for you.

4U2NV- Thank you for your support!

Sadly none.

A/N: Okay people, I'm pretty disappointed. I mean, it's true, I haven't been pressuring you guys, but I hardly get any reviews. I update whenever it's convenient, and I try to make my chapters lengthy. If there is something I can do to improve this fic, I'd appreciate it if you told me. If there is something in here that you are uncomfortable with, tell me, and I'll see what I can do. I'm welcome to constructive criticism. Don't be afraid to speak up.

Also, there will be repeats of what had happened in the series, but they probably won't be word for word. I'll most likely change some details.
