In the next morning
Inuyasha and the others are walking down a path, until they found a bandit, injured.
"Excuse me, are you alright?" Kagome asked kneeling down,

The bandit was breathing heavily, but when he looks at Inuyasha his face lose it's color.
"A-Ah! Stay away from me! You wretched demon!" The bandit said,
"What?! I haven't done anything!" Inuyasha said angered,

"You're related to that damn demon girl! I can tell from your appearance!" The bandit said pointing at Inuyasha,
"Inuyasha, it must be her!" Kagome said realizing that the demon girl the bandit mentioned is the one they're looking for,

"We found a good village to rob near the river, and she just happened to be there! That wretched witch! I was the only one that got away! The others were caught by the villagers!" The bandit said in a loud voice, but Kagome didn't like what he said

"It's only natural that she attacked you! She was trying to protect the villagers! It's you that's wrong!" Kagome said
"Come on Kagome! Let's leave him alone," Inuyasha said and they all left the bandit,
---------------------------------------------------------–--------------------------------------------
"Geez, they're all such a jerk!" Kagome said
"Well, of course they would be mad, she ruined their plan to rob the village," Miroku said
"We have to find her fast, before she left that village," Sango said
"That's right, I believe the village he mentioned was near a river, so it is probably that one!" Miroku said pointing to a village just below the hill a few miles away.

"Come on!" Kagome said and the others follow her,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile back at the village

"Hey mister! What's your name?" A boy asked Naraku,
"Kagewaki," Naraku said curtly
"Hey come play with us!" The boy pulled on his sleeve, much to Naraku's annoyance,

He almost burst out, until Tsukiko shows up saving him,
"Sorry, but he's still not in a condition to be playing," Tsukiko said
"Ohhh, that so, all right then I hope you'll get better soon Kagewaki!" The boy said and the other kids follow him,
Naraku sighs in relief,

"You don't like playing with kids, huh?" Tsukiko said as they walk through the village,  some of the women are looking at him,
"You're pretty popular with the women in the village hehe," Tsukiko laughs,
And then Tsukiko placed her hand on her chest looking depressed,
'She's been like that since yesterday' Naraku thought, "Did you lost something?"
When Naraku asked she jump in surprise

"W-why do you ask?"
"You've been doing the same gesture since yesterday,"
"I see I didn't notice, actually I lost my necklace," Tsukiko said
"It's only a necklace," Naraku said
"....but it's important to me," She said in a depressed voice,

Naraku looks at her depressed face and sighs "Go do something,"
"Huh? Why?"
"Just stay here then, wait until I get back," Naraku said, Tsukiko stares at his back confused, as he walk away

After a few minutes have passed Naraku returns,
"What were you doing?" Tsukiko asked and Naraku placed a necklace with a small gemstone, "Is this...for me?" Tsukiko looks at the necklace, and looks up to find Naraku smiling softly, something rarely does,

"T-thank you, it's beautiful," Tsukiko said

'What in the world am I doing? This isn't like me at all, why did I feel troubled when she was depressed? And why does...her...smile looks...' Naraku thought in his mind,

"This is a token for our parting," Naraku said surprising her,
"What? Y-you're leaving?"
"That's right," Naraku said

"Why? I can accompany you if you want to!" Her voice sounded pleading,
"No, this is goodbye. I thank you for treating my wound," Naraku almost instinctively touched her head but stops when he realized his action and he pulled back,
"Farewell...Tsukiko," Naraku said and he left her,

'I cannot stay with her, she's making me feel...strange, she's making me feel unneeded emotions, and what it is a perfect time to flee when Inuyasha is nearby......I will forget about her eventually as if I never met her,' Naraku thought to himself and he disappears in his baboon costume,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha and the others have made it to the village, they started searching for the demon girl, actually the demon has been treating the villagers with her powers, so they easily found out where she is.
"Oh, you mean the girl, yes she's right over there,"  The woman pointed at the person, who turns out to be, Tsukiko a few feet away from them,

Tsukiko is healing a sick boy, (after Naraku left, in depressed she returned to heal and cure the villagers)
They watched her in awe, a light surrounds her body as she heal the boy,

"So that's her? But she doesn't have white hair and ears," Shippo said,
"Do you think the old man got it wrong?" Inuyasha said as they look at her from afar,
"I don't think so, afterall look at what she's doing right now, but something's strange...the power she's using is spiritual power," Kagome said

Suddenly a woman's scream is heard, surprising the others,
"What's going on?" Kagome said
"I don't know but I'm sure it's not good," Sango said and they run toward the scream, when Sesshomaru looks back at where Tsukiko was, she's already gone,

'That girl almost looked like Tsukiko,' He thought

"Ahaha give me all of your women and children!" A demon-centipede like said
There are three demons,

"Inuyasha! We have to do something!" Kagome said
"Right! Wind-!" Before Inuyasha could call the wind scar,
"RAZOR CLAWS!!" A blade-like energy appears and cuts down one of the demon,

"What? Where did that come from?" Inuyasha said looking around, when he sees someone falling from the sky and landed in front of the demons,
"W-who are you?!" The demons asked,

When the smoke clears, the figure seems to have long white hair and...ears, just like Inuyasha.

"This scent, It's the girl we saw before," Sesshomaru said,
"What? You mean this girl? But her hair was black," Sango said
They all watch Tsukiko confronting the demon,

"Hahaha! He was weak so we know he'll be defeated easily, but when we are combined!"  Suddenly the two demons merged into one,
"Ahahaha! Now what will you do now, little girl!!" The demon begins to mock Tsukiko,

But she was unfazed, instead she smiles,
"What's so funny?!" The demon said
"Huh! You've just made my job easy by combining, now I don't need to kill two demons! RAZOR CLAWS!!"
Tsukiko attacks the demon in one-go and it was killed instantly.

The villagers cheered, and Inuyasha and the others looked at her, seeming surprised.
Tsukiko turns around to be faced by a surprised Inuyasha and his friends.

Tsukiko seemed shocked as well when she sees Sesshomaru,
'W-why is he here?' Tsukiko thought,

Sesshomaru walks up to her, making Tsukiko even nervous. Sesshomaru stands just a few centimeters from her and he said

"Would you care to explain yourself, Tsukiko," Sesshomaru said in a low stern voice,

'What do I do?' Tsukiko thought
