Chapter 1

The woman strode through the Harjuku district. She was walking along Takeshita Dori. Watching the teenagers as they shopped and interacted with each other.

She herself was drawing the attention of the kids around her. She was tall, about 5' 10" inches with an hour glass figure every teenage girl longed for. Long black hair hung to her waist, bright green eyes shone from an oval face with it's smooth, white skin and delicate features. Dressed in black leather duster; with a black wife-beater; black jeans; and knee high, black hiking boots. She carried herself with an air of authority and regality that demanded people give way to her, if not to bear the consequences of their refusal. Sex appeal and danger exuded from her, garnering stares from every person she passed.

She stopped and was looking into the window of a small boutique that specialized in leather goods, when a group of teenage boys walked by. One decided to stop and ogle her. His eyes traveled from her feet up to her eyes. The cock sure smile he had fled at the look of icy disdain on her face. He bowed politely and murmured something to her in Japanese. Turned and went back to his friends, who laughed at him, then continued about their business.

She chuckled to herself and continued on her stroll. She headed to Yoyogi Park, hoping to see the ginko trees. She wanted to get there toward evening to enjoy the golden color of the autumn leaves in the dying light.

She walked past Snoopy Town and Yoyogi stadium, then on to the park. She didn't worry about being alone in a strange country with little knowledge of the language or in a lonely place. She could handle herself. She needed to be alone, wanting to get a feel of the area. This was to be the setting for her next book.

She followed a trail that seemed to be little used. As she walked she took deep breaths of air that seemed clearer here.

Suddenly, she hears two young feminine voices and recognized the fear in them. She followed the voices into the trees, only understanding the words, "No, please stop."

Stealthily and silently, she made her way through the trees, until she came upon a small clearing. Two young girls were tied to a tree and a rather large man was threatening them with a knife. They were clearly terrified, the oldest one looked no more than twelve years old and the youngest looked about eight. She could tell they were closely related, both had pretty silver-white hair and bright golden eyes. Both wore school uniforms, which meant they hadn't made it home.

She bent down and picked up a large, heavy tree branch. Snuck up behind the man and hit him over the head. Knocking him down, the knife flying out of his hand to the ground.

The girls' eyes widened at her sudden appearance, her black clothes helped hide her in the glooming light. She was downwind and no one caught her scent. She grabbed the knife and cut through the rope.

She said, in English, "Run!" and pointed. The girls took off like a shot, running for all they were worth. They ran straight into their father. He took them to a spot that hid them, but that he could see the woman who had helped his girls. He thought he would have to help her.

She moved to follow them when she heard the bellow of the man. Surprised the blow didn't knock him out, she turned to face him.

She gave him a formal bow and a feral grin and said, "Bring it, big boy." She turned the knife she still held around and held it downward. She spun as he charged her, duster flaring out hiding the knife as it slashed his back open in one long gash.

She faced him again, this time she held the duster out to the sides with both hands. She started moving turning this way and that. The duster flared again, confusing the man. She feinted to the right, and when he moved to defend himself from the knife, she brought up her left foot and gave him a roundhouse kick to the face.

"That should do it. I know I got him that time.", she thought, as she watched him fall to the ground. What she didn't know was that the girls were hanyou and the man was a bear youkai, sent to kidnap them.

No one noticed the woman perched on the feather high above them. "Damn, the idiot got himself caught.", she thought and flew away.

The man grinned at her and spit out two teeth, as he got up yet again. She looked at him, "Are you really that stupid? Why not stay down?" She narrowed her eyes at him, and said, "This time, I'll make sure you stay down, asshole."

"Well, it's your party, fuckface. So if you feel froggy, leap.", she said, holding her hand out and indicating come on. He never realized the knife had changed hands.

He charged her again, this time she feinted to the left, and when he attacked to the right expecting the same maneuver, she brought the knife around from the left and sunk it into his lower abdomen. She looked him in the eye and sneered, "This is what you get for fucking with little girls. We GROW up and get even, asshole." She pulled the knife straight up under his ribs and into his heart.

She pushed him down to the ground and felt in his pockets, coming up with a handkerchief, proceeded to wipe down the handle of the blade as it stuck out of him. She cleaned the blood from her hands and coat as best as she could.

She had been so intent on the fight and clean up that she never noticed the three sets of golden eyes staring at her from the darkened woods.

Inuyasha was surprised at this human. She was better than Sango with a knife, and the way she used both hands and feet with the same capability was new to him. He indicated to his daughters to stay put, this woman was dangerous, and he didn't want them near her.

She jumped when he stepped out from the trees. Instantly, she was on alert. She could sense his strength and ability, not many could sneak up on her like that.

She looked him over, he was tall and well built. He had long silver hair and golden eyes, like the little girls. She assumed they were related.

She relaxed slightly and bowed. Saying, "I sent them that way." Pointing in the direction she had chased the girls. She snuck a step back when he looked in that direction, and began looking for an escape route.

She knew he didn't understand her, and now she was kicking herself for not learning more than rudimentary Japanese.

He looked back at her and noticed the step back, and gave her a look that clearly meant, "STAY."

He turned back around and pulled out a cell phone, dialed a number and spoke into it quickly.

Lilith saw her chance for escape and she took it. She snuck off, unwittingly taking the same path she came in on, her scent still on the path from when she walked in. She dove into some underbrush, her black clothes hiding her, when he tried to chase her down. When he got far enough away from her, she sprinted off in another direction.

Eventually she found Harjuku station, went into the restroom and washed the blood from her hands. She emptied her coat pockets and dumped it, knowing it was a loss. She caught the train back to Shinjuku station and a cab back to her hotel, in the skyscraper district.

Back in her room, she showered and bagged up those clothes to dispose of somewhere else, and went to bed. As soon as she closed her eyes and sleep over came her, the dream started again. She woke up with a scream on her lips and sweating.

*******************************

Inuyasha was stunned, he had lost her. He called Sesshomaru to tell him what happened and he needed someone to come clean the mess before the police found it. He told him he was bringing a human woman in, that she had killed the demon, and would need help. He finished the call and turned back around to find her gone.

He followed her scent until he realized that this was the way she came in and that she had taken a different direction out of the park. By the time Kagome and Sesshomaru showed up, she was long gone.

He found her coat at Harjuku station, but nothing else. She had to have taken the train. He had to go back to Kagome with no information on who saved their daughters, and she was going to be pissed.

Getting back into the limousine, he looked at Sesshomaru and shook his head. "Either she's very good or very lucky. All I found was her coat.", he said.

"Hn.", was all Sesshomaru said. He didn't like the fact that a human had killed a youkai and he didn't know who she was. According to his nieces she was a tall, white woman with long black hair and green eyes. He would put people on it tomorrow. He wanted her found.
