Summary: a hundred or so years ago the Queen of demons disappeared from the face of the planet. The Inu crew, on the day of her birth, visits her memorial at her castle. It's then that the Queen of demons reveals herself. Why is Sesshomaru there? What is Kagome hiding?

Me: Come one and all I have finally started a new story!

Inuyasha: Oh great miss insane is back.

Me: What did you say Inuyasha?

Inuyasha: Nothing, wench.

Me: oh really? I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you Inuyasha. *starts sharpening knifes*

Inuyasha: *glup*

Me: Yes be afraid! Oh that reminds me I don't own Inuyasha, and I hope you like the story!

The trees began to shake as a cool breeze blew through the towering beings. Dark raven hair danced in the wind as hands began to smooth the ever growing goose bumps that developed on bitter cold snipped skin, weary light gray eyes took in their surroundings, as footsteps began to slow until to an absolute stop. "Inuyasha," a soft voice of a tired female called to the ever persistent figure in front of her, "Can we stop for the night?"

A gruff voiced answered almost immediately, "No."

"Why not it's getting rather cold and I don't feel like freezing to death." Answered a strong female voice as she looked toward the in raged figure in front of them.

"I agree with Sango, Inuyasha we are but humans and can't stand the cold as much as you can." Chimed another voice this one male but far wiser than that of the other.

The figure turned toward the small group that was several feet behind him. The figure was about average height, with long silver hair and amber colored eyes but what was most unusual was the small dog like ears that lay on top of his head. He was also wearing bright red robes, those made of the fire rat.

"Your right about that, demons are defiantly more durable than mere humans." The hanyou dubbed as Inuyasha huffed.

"Then can we stay here for the night?" sniffed another voice this one more child than the others.

"Of course we are right Inuyasha?" The soft voice called toward the hanyou who was sending death glares to the child.

Inuyasha looked up at her. The owner of the soft voice was shorter than average but only by a little bit she had a light ivory complexion that contrasted with her dark raven like hair, her eyes were a light gray filled with a soft forgiving kindness to those around her, she was wearing a heavy set wool jacket and long comfortable pants. In her arms was the owner of the child voice, who Inuyasha was glaring at only a moment ago, he had bright orange hair and deep emerald colored eyes. He seemed to be of fox descent for he had fox like grin plastered on his face and a bushy fox like tail.

"No. We are going to keep going until we reach her castle." Inuyasha huffed and was about take another step when he was stopped by a voice. "Inuyasha if you take another step so help me I will…"

"Do what? A weakling wench like you can't do anything." Inuyasha turned around only to late to see his mistake. "Oh no, Kagome don't, I didn't mean….."

she whispered "sit"

A loud crash rung throughout the forest as demons scattered into hiding. "phat whas phat phor." Inuyasha mumbled as he laid face down in a fifty foot smoking hole.

"That was for being a baka!" yelled Kagome as she turned around and stomped off.

"You should go after her," commeted the wise voice as he stared into the abyss like hole.

Inuyasha looked up at him he was a man of average height and weight, his dark black hair pulled into a small pony tail his violet eyes holding wisdom beyond his years but also something else and by the way he looked at the woman named Sango it one can only guess he was quite a hentai. He also seemed to be a monk with his purple robes and the staff in his hand. There were also prayer beads around his right hand (A/N: Or was it left? I don't know) now why would he wear such a thing?

"Oi, I can do and say whatever I want monk." Inuyasha growled as he jumped out of the crater.

"I think Miroku's right you should go after her," Responded the young woman named Sango, She was average height with dark brown almost black hair her eyes were a light brown, she wore a light pink kimono top with a long green skirt but underneath she wore her black and pink demon exterminator outfit with she only wore when the group was in a major battle, on her shoulder was her demon partner,a two tailed demon cat with pale beige fur and a black diamond on her forehead, named kilala.

"I don't see why, that wench can get back on her own," Inuyasha snuffed taking his traditional sitting position on the top of one the highest branches in the nearest tree.

"When will you ever learn Inuyasha," Miroku sighed "Come on Sango lets set up camp."

Kagome continued mumbling insults until she knew she was out of hearing range. "That hanyou, thinks he can boss me around but what can I do he is one of my longest best friends, if only he knew." She looked toward the stars "I wonder when we're going to get there." Sighing she turned around and headed for camp.

Kagome finally made it back to camp as everyone started to gather around the camp fire. "oh, lady Kagome your back." Miroku spoke surprised by Kagome's sudden arrival. "Kagome are you ok?" Sango asked worriedly glancing between Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Kagome looked around to see everyone gawking at her. "What?"

" Oh..uh… nothing" everyone said a bit too quickly for Kagome's taste. "Oh that reminds me, Inuyasha you said something about going to her castle who were you revering to?" Inuyasha was brought out of his shock and simply "fehed" So Miroku answered instead "If I'm right judging by the direction were going to Queen Animi's castle."

"Who's Queen Animi?" Kagome asked as a cool wind whipped through her hair.

"Queen Animi is the queen of all demons, though she disappeared a hundred or so years ago. Back then Queen Animi was a kind and gentle ruler, rising to the throne at young age she ruled the kingdom with wisdom beyond her years and made a deal with the human rulers that if demons were left in peace no demon would slaughter a single human, for Queen Animi cared for even humans as well as demons but when she disappeared, the demons blamed us for the disappearance of their queen and we've been in war ever since." As Sango heard Miroku finish the tale she felt something inch lower and lower down her back until….

"HENTAI!" Sango screamed banging Miroku repeatedly on the head with her hiraikotsu.

Becoming bored Sango sat down with a huff facing away from the bloody face unconscious Miroku.

Kagome sweat dropped. "Why are we going to her castle?" Inuyasha for once decided to answer her question, "It's the old hags birthday, and were going to see her memorial."

Unnoticed by everyone Kagome's eye twitched ever so slightly.

"How did you know her Inuyasha?" Kagome asked a forced smile on her lips.

"The wench was always hanging around Sesshomaru, she would pull pranks on me like dying my hair, and calling me dog boy, she was a nasty crude bossy little chick and I don't know how the hell she even became queen of the demons," Kagome looked at him something akin to anger in her eyes. "but she was one of my closest friends when my mom died she was the only one there who could get me out of my room, since both her parents died a year before she knew what I must've felt like." Inuyasha looked to the stars "I hope she's ok, where ever she is."

Kagome softly smiled at him and took his hand "I'm sure she fine Inuyasha." Inuyasha nodded slightly. "I hope so."

The Inu crew then went to sleep, to prepare for the day no one saw coming.
