Diclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Inuyasha.

Short right? This was the only thing I could do in the short amount of time I have. Sorry.

The long journey to the nearest village was finally over. The people strangely allowed for them to stay the night for free, well, the females bombarded the men to allow them to stay. Mysteriously, some of the younger men was okay with the thought as well. But it was the very old headman that agreed to let them stay free, his eyes fixed on Inuyasha the whole time.

Anyway, the priestess in the little group, Rei, sat with her food tray in front of her, however, she sat improperly with her legs crossed and as well as her arms. Her eyes stared at the empty dishes in front of her, but her mind was on the information she received while wandering with the hanyou, Inuyasha.

Apparently, the reason he turned into a human every new moon, because he was a hanyou. Rei took it as a side affect. Although it was surprising to her, something else astonished her. She looked into the bag Inuyasha's brother, Sesshomaru, gave to her. It contained her clothing the day she was kidnapped and her henshin pen. Even though she took a disliking to Sesshomaru, she was extremely grateful towards him. He rescued her, led her away from the castle, saved her life from a demon twice, and brought her belongings back to her even though he was a cold hearted demon. Inuyasha could never be like that.

Suddenly, she begun to really stare at the dishes, her eyes stinging with the strength to hold back her tears. At last, the curse of blindness was lifted from her. Inuyasha would not stop apologizing about her going blind in the first place. As much as she wanted to place the blame on the hanyou, she knew it would be wrong seeing he was killing himself with the guilt. She wondered how it was lifted, but Yukio did say it was temporary.

Yukio...she could not say what happened to him since the day of her escape. But who cared? He was perverted and stupid.

Then, her eyes narrowed to the other end of the room that contained non-stop giggling. Her tears replaced with the sight of disgust. She grimaced and snapped her head away, her eyebrows shaking in anger.

In the far corner sat the human Inuyasha, but he was not alone. It seemed like every girl in the village were gathered around the infamous Inuyasha, as he called himself. It seemed like single and married women were in the circle, due by the fact that men glared evilly at the group. Some could be jealous as well seeing that men tried to talk to the priestess that sat by herself. She would kindly shoo them away, but others were persistent, so she would kindly threaten them away.

"And then Naraku was a piece of cake!"

The men muttered upon themselves that the human male could not be the one called Inuyasha, because he was human, not a hanyou. But the women didn't care, an extremely cute male was staying for one night only.

"You must've been terrified!" one female stated as she ran her fingers through his hair that hung over his shoulders. The stupid fool just shook his head and continued the story. He was so dense.

They continued to seduce him and Rei continued to grow angry. Growling deeply, she jumped to her feet and walked towards the herd of females. But before she could strangle the cause of the problem, the giggling stop and everyone turned towards the door.

"Headman."

"I would like to speak to our two guests."

The females moved so a clearing could be made for Inuyasha. He stood to his feet and walked towards the headman with Rei behind him.

"Follow me."

'I hope Inuyasha is alright.'

Kagome sat at her desk in her room as she stared at the setting sun. She watched as the sky changed from a brilliant orange to a darken blue. Sighing heavily, she clenched the wooden box within her hands. The Shikon Jewel. This stone brought misfortune everywhere it went. She really did hope Inuyasha was alright.

Rei's friends went and searched for Rei around the city or find some sort of clue. Sota was on a date with his girlfriend and her mother and grandfather were out shopping. The house was completely empty.

A smile crept on her face as a memory replied in her mind. She remembered being home alone when Inuyasha arrived. He became frantic and searched the whole house for demons or bad people. He really was worried and stayed the whole time...with her in her room...the whole night.

Tears swelled in her eyes as her face was twisted in the attempt not to scream out.

'I still love you...Inuyasha.'

"I knew you looked familiar," the headman spoke as he slightly turned around to face the duo that followed him.

Rei did not complain as they followed the old headman, but the same could not be said for Inuyasha.

"Where are you taking us old man!"

Rei only sighed and shook her head as her eyes scanned the area. The village looked very upscale and they looked out of place. She still had bandages wrapped around her chest and a hakama while Inuyasha wore his modern day clothing. No wonder they were being stared down.

"Here."

Inuyasha immediately stopped and stared with a blank expression, his face losing all signs of life. Rei stared at him dumbfound and looked from him and what was causing him to look so surprised. She rose an eyebrow at the sight and tilted her head. Wow, that was a huge house! But what did the headman take them here? To spend the night?

"My...old home."

Rei looked at the vase that was hardly visible in the moon's light. The room was extremely clean, dust settled everywhere. Nothing was touched what looked like for years. No matter, everything was still elegant and clean. As she straighten herself up, she turned to see the headman standing at the door; shaking slightly due to his old age. Rei turned to Inuyasha but he was already gone. Curious, she followed the path of dusted footprints.

Walking into one room, Rei stopped beside Inuyasha and examined the room he was in. No way was this his old room. Everything in the room looked feminine. Again, curiosity begun to eat at her.

"Inuyasha? Who room is this?"

"Her scent...even as a human I can still smell her scent that lingers in the air. The scent of her...and her illness."

"Her? Her who?"

"His mother, Lady Izayoi."

The priestess turned to see the headman at the head of the door, holding the sliding door with his shaking hands. Rei eyed Inuyasha out of the corner of her eye and saw him face away from her, his hand clenched in some uncertain emotion.

"He looks just like his mother. I knew ye was Inuyasha, the son of Lady Izayoi when I saw ye enter the village."

Rei eyed the old man for a moment before speaking again. "So that's why you allowed for us to stay?"

The headman nodded his head as his shaken eyes fell upon the backside of Inuyasha. " I'm sorry that everyone mistreated ye son, but there was nothing I could do. Especially when your mother fell extremely ill and could not take care of ye. I was so busy at the time and everyone refused to take ye in. Then that day...when she died...that day must've been the worse for ye. Ye ran away and never came back until today."

"But why mistreat Inuyasha? Was he a nuisance like he is now? Maybe everyone was tried of-"

"Me being a fucking half breed!"

Rei jumped at the outburst that interrupted the silence in the room. Inuyasha turned completely towards the two and glared with the most hateful eyes full of silent tears.

"I never had any respect around here just because I was a hanyou! But they had to go and mistreat my mother as well! Humans are such fools! They blamed us for all the misfortunate that happened while we both lived in this forbidden village. So I left! This village still feels just the same."

The headman watched as the human male push the stun priestess to the side as he made his way towards him, the exit. But the headman stood his ground and held onto the edges of the sliding door's frame. As Inuyasha grunted, he pushed the headman, but he did not budge. Confused, he tried again but only received the same result. Did he become that weak turning into a human?

"Look like you lost a little touch there Inuyasha!" the headman shouted as his eyes glowed red, his voice less cracked and shaken. Stun, Inuyasha was punched backwards by the headman, sliding to the edge of his mother's bed. "You can't leave yet Inuyasha, I have to kill you on the same deathbed as your mother!"

"Inuyasha," Rei spoke as she ran to the human male's side. He struggled to sit up, but the punch knocked all air from his lungs. As he fought for air, Rei noted the headman walking towards the two with a wicked smile on his lips, his eyes a blood-thirst color.

"To have a priestess' and hanyou's blood would surely increase my power!"

"No luck?"

The Sailor Senshi's shook there head no to Kagome's question. They all sighed and made themselves comfortable in various parts of the reincarnated priestess' room. Kagome only gave them a comforting smile as she pointed to the well.

"Come now, I'm sure Inuyasha has found some major clue in finding Rei. He may even have found her!"

"That dumb dog couldn't find his face in the dark," Usagi mumbled and pulled on her two side ponytails. "And it's even a new moon!"

Kagome nearly jumped out of her skin at the last statement by Usagi. New moon? The priestess nearly cursed herself for all of her misery as she jumped to her feet and out of the room.

Makato rose an eyebrow and walked to the window to see Kagome racing towards the well's hut. She opened the window and leaned out screaming, "Where are you going Kagome?"

She could only hear mumbles of Inuyasha and human as Kagome ran into the hut with a flash of a bright light.

Inuyasha's POV

"Argh!"

"Rei!"

I watched as Rei slammed into the nearest wall from the blow of the headman's, no, demon's punch. And that was the only thing I could do, watch. I tried to different the demon earlier without Rei's help, but in this human form, I did not last long. My vision is blurred due to the fact that I lost a shit load of blood. I wanted to deal with the demon myself regardless of my current state.

But Rei would not have it.

Once she noticed me staggering, she charged into action like she didn't hear my at all. She's fighting with all that she has. I cannot lie, in the outfit she is in, she looks like a complete warrior.

"Why are you doing this?" I could hear Rei ask as she breathed extremely heavily and wipe the blood that tingled down her forehead. She was killing herself goddammit!

"Why you ask? You're trying to recover aren't you? Well then..."

He walked to Rei as she wobbled side to side trying to get up. No! I push myself to one foot, but immediately fall. Goddammit all to hell! I can't help her! Damn this human form!

I watched as he grabbed onto her hair and pull her towards him. "I'll tell it to you at your funeral!"

I can feel my claws tear into my skin as I clenched them in anger as I saw him swing her to the other side of the room in enjoyment. He knew...he knew I could do nothing to save her!

Coughing up small amounts of blood, Rei wiped the unwanted liquid from her face. She knew she could not defeat the demon in the state she was in nor could Inuyasha. If they wanted to survive, she would have to transform. Patting her pockets on her hakama, she pulled out her henshin pen and softly stated her battle phase.

I managed to stand to my feet as I wobbled slightly to the wall, regaining my balance. Dang, everything was still a blur!

Wait, what is that demon doing to Rei now! I could see her getting surrounded by a bright red light. No, the demon had nothing to do with with this since he was as confused as I was.

Wait...a figure...a girl?

This girl is standing in a fighting stance with the most weirdest looking outfit I ever seen.

No!

This is the girl from the day when that demon attacked Kagome and me in the Kagome's time.

"Demon, you will pay for your shameful acts!"

Rei!
