I so do not own Inuyasha, appart from the posters and images on my laptop...

This is the reason why I have been neglecting my other story Kagura of the Gods, sorry. But I had to get this out of my head before I forgot it and I am very pleased with the results and the ending, it's a good story.

Who's the Outcast?- I was thinking about how Kagome is different in that world and that Inuyasha is in his own world and then I got some ideas and walla! Here you have it.

It won't be my longest or best but I hope you'll be pleased with it and find it in you're hearts to spend thirty seconds to say how much you liked or disliked it, Thankyou Very much!

Wordy!

Chapter 1- Waking up-

In a simple village, in a mountains valley, someone was waking up…

The village wasn't too big and it wasn't rich. There were several hot springs in the small woods areas to the top and bottom of the place, and there was a lot of farmland, there were meadows and an ordinary river. The only thing that wasn't so ordinary about this place was a sealed shrine that was said to have a demon spawn inside it.

A powerful monk and priestess sealed him away over fifty years ago and no one remembers why he was sealed or what he looked like. But after all that time asleep he was stirring.

The young demon opened his eyes and blinked as light trickled through dust and then through the sliding windows that had been sealed shut. The demon stiffly sat up and looked around, there was an old door that was nailed shut and a strange symbol painted on it. The demon stood and instantly beads fell from his body.

He looked at the purple and blue beads and remembered that he had been entangled in them, they had sapped his strength and forced him to his knees, then to sleep forever. But… he remembered them saying something about heritage… he would sleep for a long time then wake up weak enough to end.

The demon pressed a hand to the door. Please open… let me… out… the demon feared for his life and safety, he was weak and the dust burned his nose and mouth. The door gave way after a surge of hidden strength and the young demon struggled into the entrance of the shrine.

The light hurt his eyes and the ground hurt his feet, but he was alive and for that he was thankful. After struggling down the road a little he smelt water…

Instantly he turned that way and almost fell into the stream. He gulped as much water as he could and his vision returned. I don't remember a woods this large being here… and I don't remember the shrine ever being so dusty or old looking… how long was I sealed? The young demon inhaled then was on his feet as his mouth watered for the taste of the food he smelt.

The trees were tall and he jumped into them, leaping from branch to branch no matter how weak he was, simply enjoying freedom…

The food smell came from a village. A small one, but it had a market and cattle and lots of farm land, but it was still a place of food. The demon landed on a roof, his eyes darting for something to eat. Inhaling through his nose he found the scents of meat and of bread, rice then of a strange aroma that was vanilla and roses… the food smells came back and he was close to drooling with hunger.

A woman screamed "A DEMON!"

The young demon jumped in shock, that noise was worse than a child's wails! As soon as he sighed in relief at the quiet of the wails more shouts and screams started up. "It's Inuyasha!"

"The seals been broken!"

"Inuyasha's awake!"

Inuyasha… hey, that's… that's my name… isn't it… I'm Inuyasha. The demon looked as the people gathered swords and torches. Weapons! A mob! Inuyasha knew that he should be running, but he was so tired, all he wanted to do was sleep…

An arrow landed just by his hand. The young demon leapt to another roof to escape them, the ground swayed under him and then he ungracefully fell off the roof and onto the floor. Hunger hurt more than the arrows raining off his fire rat robes.

"He's down! Get him!"

Inuyasha struggled up and staggered away, Damn… I'm too weak to fight them off… what do I do? With a soft cry of pain he got hit to the floor by the blunt end of a sword. The owner of the sword laughed coldly. "Get up and fight, demon spawn!"

Inuyasha didn't try, he knew he was too weak to withstand a sword blow… the man kicked him and Inuyasha faced the sky and a bunch of scorning faces, they all started to beat him up. Swords flashed and red blood stained the earth. Inuyasha started wishing for the pain to be over with…

Then he heard an angel.

"Stop it! Leave him alone! What has he ever done to you!"

The demon opened one eye to see who was defending him, his blurred vision didn't allow him much of a glance. A human, his nose confirmed it, she had long black hair and pale skin, she was dressed in white, the scent of vanilla and roses trickled into his nose again, coming directly from the merciful human. She looked like an angel… that eye fluttered closed but he could still hear.

"Move aside Wretch!" there was a smacking sound and then a body landed over his as the girl fell from the man's blow with a cry of pain. "You little witch, we've allowed you to live here peacefully. Now don't make us regret that!" another sound of the girl getting hurt the girl yelped again and curled up around her stomach, groaning softly and coughing.

Inuyasha forced his eyes open and sat up enough to snarl at the man who hurt his angel. The man took four steps back in alarm, lowing the foot he had used to kick her. The girl pushed herself up and held a hand to her cheek that was slowly turning red, her other hand was wound around her stomach tightly where the bastard had kicked her, she glanced at Inuyasha before facing the man again. There was no scent of fear in her scent or in her eyes…but… why?

"No! I'm not going to let you hurt him, Onigumo! You and your brothers can clear on out of here!"

Onigumo laughed then moved to hit her again. And the girl didn't budge, she was like a rock of pure determination.

Inuyasha leapt to his feet, pulled her backwards and bared his fangs at the horrid man, claws sharp and ready for use. He caught the swinging wrist and scratched its owners face before snarling and shoving him backwards.

Onigumo fell and everyone else ran for cover, only Onigumo and two others remained. The girl put herself between Inuyasha and them, Inuyasha fell to the floor again, the girl caught him as he fell so his head didn't bump the rocky ground. He was thankful to the stranger girl, he was so tired…

"Wretch! I'll make you pay for this!" and with a scamper of feet they were gone.

The girl sighed and Inuyasha heard her curse the men before running a hand over his forehead as light as the sighing air, why wasn't she scared? All the other villagers were, they wanted him dead. The gentle hand touched his forehead again, soothing his worries with the lack of fear the gesture held. He sighed and fell asleep, feeling safe at last.

The girl watched his face become peaceful and she put her head over his heart to listen for a heartbeat, there was a steady one going under his red robes. She sighed "Thank Kami. I thought you'd slipped away" she looked at his clothes that were staining red. She saw the sword blows on his arms and chest, I need to get him home.

With her face set she put his arm over her shoulder.

With a small effort she stood tall and started to walk out of the village. She didn't stop when the village farms were in view, nor when the last outhouses were in view. She walked, struggling with his weight a little, right to the edge of the woods where her own little, isolated hut was overlooking the valley.

She pulled him inside and placed him on her futon. Wow… silver hair, and his eyes were golden… her hands threaded through the silver locks gently, then went to the dog ears on his head, her purred in his sleep and the girl giggled. Looks like a puppy… sounds like a puppy… don't worry I'll look after you, Inuyasha.

Blushing slightly she pulled his shirt off and cleaned the sword wounds, she wasn't very experienced with men but she was very distracted at the well built body she was tending to, her face was redder than cherries as she looked him over without meaning to.

Bathing his wounds with warm water she saw that they weren't serious at all but he was weak as it was as he couldn't fight back with claws and fangs. She finished tying the bandages on his torso, having him sit up to check that they covered all the bleeding, the demon's face was on her shoulder as she made his sit up to check his back, her blush returned when he nuzzled her neck in his sleep.

The girl laid him back on the futon and spend a short while staring at his face. "Inuyasha… that's a unusual name. Inu Dog, Yasha demon, but you're… not all demon… are you?" she tweaked one ear and giggled a little. "I'll have to ask you properly when you wake up"

Chapter 1!

I was pleased with that, I'm still working on writing for effect and I'm not sure that I got across concern and panic as well as I wanted to in this chapter. I'll work on it... :)

I think you can guess who the 'Angel' is right? Kagome if you haven't guessed, anyone who thought Kikyo (Crosses self to rid evil from self) can give themselves a slap in the face, I Don't like her. End Of. She is the cursed one who is dead and should act dead! (Being in grave and not talking or walking or soul stealing!)

Sorry about that! I hope you'll spare two minuets to give me feed back, I like listening to improvements and other things so tell me!
