Author's Note: This is my first Inu Yasha fan fiction in a really long time… I haven't really been keeping up with the show until recently and I was urged to write a story. Please comment if you read this, but try and be nice.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Inu Yasha characters/weapons/places/concepts. I do however own the character Rikku and all story line based off of her.

Chapter 1

They had been traveling to the west for about five days when Inu Yasha had noticed Naraku's scent. It was just the hope they needed, Kagome and Shippou had been whining for the past two days about there being no hope of finding Naraku by just heading west because of what some locals had told them. But Inu Yasha has also noticed something else in the air, something that smelled of dogs and fox, but he had no idea what it could be, only that the smell was strong and most likely a pack of demons. He kept this to himself, hoping that Kiara and Shippou wouldn't notice the smell.

"What is it Inu Yasha?" asked Sango, staring down on him from the two-tail's back. "You look like something's wrong, do want me and Kiara to look ahead?"

Inu Yasha quickly replied, "No, nothing's wrong, just thought I smelled something funny." He tried to smile as he said this but he continued to fill his nostrils with this smell, he could tell that they were getting closer to whatever it was that he smelled.

"Hey, Inu Yasha, do you smell that?" Shippou stared up at him from the ground, "Do you?" Inu Yasha slowly looked down at him and nodded; Kiara also must have noticed the smell because she let out a loud hiss, revealing her gigantic cat-like fangs. Now Inu Yasha knew that whoever, or whatever was coming was serious and looking for a fight.

"Inu Yasha what's going on?" asked Kagome, clutching onto his arm as Shippou hopped onto her back. "Inu Yasha?" She held onto his arm more tightly as Sango got off of Kiara and took her Hiraikotsu off her back and held it in a fighting stance. Miroku also stood with his staff ready to fight.

"Inu Yasha, Kagome asked you a question," Miroku said, looking at him.

"I'm not sure, but something's coming," he answered. He shook kagome off his arm and drew his Tetsusaiga and he heard something coming, something fast. Suddenly a light whip, similar to that of Inu Yasha's stepbrother started coming down at all of them, Inu Yasha grabbed Kagome by the waist and quickly jumped back several feet. The whip cracked and spun back from the direction that it had came, Sango quickly threw her giant boomerang and dew her katana, running foreword. "Miroku, stay with Kagome!" Miroku ran towards Kagome and Inu Yasha took off, running after Sango. Finally, he found her, she had her Hiraikotsu back and she was standing, waiting for something to attack or make a noise.

"Inu Yasha, that whip, you don't think it's Sesshomaru?" she asked, as he stood behind her so that they were back to back.

"No, whatever this is smells of dogs and fox." He raised his sword and swung at the trees surrounding him, shouting, "Wind Scar!" A wave of bright light shot out threw the sword and smoldered the trees, leaving a patch of the surrounding forest barren. "Come out you fool, if you feel like dying!" he shouted, when suddenly wave of light shot at them, the both jumped out of the way in time but where they had stood, the earth was smoking and a woman with pure white hair stood before them. She had her katana pointed at the two of them and she resembled Sesshomaru. She wore black Samuri armor on her chest and back but her midriff showed, she had a red sash tied around her waist, which held four rectangular pieces of armor, one protecting her front, two on the sides of her legs and one covering her buttocks, each ended on the middle of her thigh. She had one purple line on each of her cheeks and two that wrapped around her back to the front of her hips. Her pure white hair descended past her shoulders and her skin was slightly tan. Her left eye was a beautiful clear blue and the other was a light red. She smiled at him and said,

"Inu Yasha, little brother, I've been looking for you." Just as she said this, her smile disappeared and she looked sorrowful, "You make me ill, how dare you travel with humans. You are a fool just like our father."

Inu Yasha stared at the woman as Sango looked at him confusingly, "Who in all the hells are you?" he asked, raising his sword towards her.

"You don't remember me brother, your dear sister Rikku?" she frowned t him as she said this and then laughed. "You don't look like our father at all you know, you look more like that woman." Her eyes burned with fury as she said this, "Sesshomaru was right, he deserved that sword you have hand." Inu Yasha grinned and stared at the steel sword she had raised.

"And what sword did you get?" he laughed, as she moved thee sword to her side. "At least he gave me one."

She laughed at this, "What makes you think that this sword isn't from him?" She raised it back in front of her to look at it, the sun reflecting off it and hitting the ground. "This sword is the mighty Tegsaiga." She looked him in the eye and smiled, "And it has the ability to copy the attacks of the Tensiega and Tetsusaiga."

"What?" he asked allowed, as his sister began to walk towards him. "Have you copied Sesshomaru's?"

"Of course not, you idiot?" she screamed, as she shot towards him, stopping, not even a millimeter away from his body. "Why would he ever feel the need to heal anyone?" Sango made a frightening noise and swung the Hiraikotsu towards Rikku, who caught the opposite end of it. "Unlike you he is a true demon, a warrior who needs no one but himself!"

"What the hell do you want with me?" Inu Yasha asked, as Sango struggled to pull back her boomerang from Rikku's clutches.

"I need your help."
