Covered with blood and panting hard, Inuyasha glanced at Kagome. They did it. They finally did it. They defeated Naraku. What was left of his body lay in pieces at their feet. Kagome gave Inuyasha a tired smile and looked over at Sango. In order to help defeat Naraku, Kohaku had sacrificed himself. Kohaku's lifeless body rested on her lap while Miroku and Shippo were comforting her.

They completed the Shikon jewel now. Kagome handed the purified jewel to Inuyasha. She knew he wanted it. She had no doubts about giving it to him. She knew he would make a good wish. Inuyasha nodded, disappearing into nearby bushes. A bright light blinded her and when she could see again, Inuyasha stood before her as a mortal.

Inuyasha and Kagome bade their goodbyes not long after the battle. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo waved to them sadly, tears gently sliding down their faces, knowing that they would not come back.

Kagome took the jewel with her, even though it no longer possessed any power. Together Inuyasha and Kagome raised Kiasha, their daughter, without telling her her heritage. She grew up not knowing what her parents were or where she truly belonged, yet in her heart she always knew that something was not right.

Chapter one

Kiasha walked to the ancient shrine her family called home and business. She glanced by the window of the shop. Her father's sword rested inside its glass case, displayed in the middle for all to see. He was quite fond of his sword; he was always boasting about how it always gotten him out of tough spots in the past.

She walked over to the old tree she had always played by as a child. Lately, the feeling of hopelessness was sinking in more often and the tree was always a comfort when she felt this way.

"What's my purpose?" she said aloud. She sighed and put her arms behind her head and stretched as her mother called her in for dinner.

When Kiasha came inside, Inuyasha was already at the table, eating instant ramen. She thought her father was strange. He always ate instant ramen and insisted on having long hair.

"How can you eat that every night?" Kiasha wondered out loud, feeling slightly nauseous. Inuyasha looked up from his food and said, "Who cares?"

Disgusted, Kiasha dismissed herself from the table and left her father under the berating glare of Kagome. She trudged up to her room to study for an upcoming exam.

An hour later, Kiasha put her head in her hands and sighed. Trying to cram complex math equations in her head was difficult for her. She remembered something her mother told her not long ago, "You may have inherited my looks and charms, but you've been cursed with your father's brains."

That comment hurt her, but she held her tongue. Kiasha was sure her mother hadn't meant to hurt her feelings.

She pushed herself away from her desk and walked down the hall to her parent's room.

Sliding their door open, her socks shifted across the floor. When she was not able to visit the tree, her parents' room offered the comfort the tree was not able to.

The room was tidy, probably her mother's doing. Her father was a slob. Kiasha surveyed the room. Everything was pretty much the same except…except an old box on her parents' bureau.

Curious, Kiasha sauntered over to the box and gently lifted the lid. A beautiful, entrancing gem lay in the middle of the box. She heard her mother coming up the stairs. Kiasha took the box with the gem inside and hurried back to her room.

Once in her room, Kiasha hid the box in her desk drawer and sat on her bed, promptly falling asleep.

Kiasha awoke, drenched in sweat. She had yet another nightmare. She had begun to have nightmares ever since she turned fifteen. All of them were the same.

In her nightmares, she would be chased by a dark humanoid figure. When the figure would draw alongside her, she would see herself but…it wasn't herself. It had red eyes full of hatred and bloodlust. Purple stripes were underneath its eyes and Kiasha would see two large fangs over its cruel lips when it would smile. Then it would slash at her and she would die.

She noticed a faint glow from the drawer in which she had put the gem inside.

She approached the drawer slowly. She opened the drawer and lifted out the source of the light. It was the gem. She opened the box and light grew.

"What is this thing…?"

Kiasha placed a hesitant finger over the gem and touched it. The gem grew even brighter and released a strong wind that shook the walls of the house.

Inuyasha and Kagome burst into the room.

"What the hell do you think you're doing with that?!" Inuyasha said angrily.

Startled, Kiasha dropped the gem, "I was just looking."

"Kiasha, you went into our room and took it," said Kagome gently.

"Sorry," Kiasha mumbled. She bent down and picked up the gem. Light engulfed the room.

Kiasha felt a tingling sensation in her body, as if something was being restored. This strange feeling swallowed her up and she blacked out.

"Damn it all to hell!"

Kiasha heard her father cursing when she came to.

"Dammit, Kagome, what the hell happened?!"

Kiasha's head pounded and she reached up to cover her ears, but she did not have any ears. They were gone. She felt around her head frantically. Something twitched on the top of her heard. She grabbed them and flinched. It hurt, why did it hurt?

She ignored her parents and looked into a mirror. Her hair had changed to silver and her eyes to amber. Two cat ears were perched on her head.

"I-I have cat ears!" She screamed.

"They're not cat ears, they're dog ears," huffed her father.

When Kiasha turned to look at him, she fainted, for his hair and eyes changed as well and two little dog ears twitched angrily on his head.
