Summary: A simple blow to Inuyasha�s head changes his whole
life around�especially when it�s Naraku that takes him in� (Trust me; it�s better than it sounds) Its sorta AU, but not: minor
details are off, but I doubt its enough to get one�s undies
in a twist.
Disclaimer: No! I
don�t wanna say it!! �sobs- I don�t own
the Inu-chan!
A/N: Yes, this is an amnesia fic and god knows there have
been a number of those�but I highly doubt anybody has done it quite the way I will. (Hey, if there any really good ones floating
around out there, tell me! I�d love to
see how others have tackled this subject!)
I have to warn you, Inuyasha (whenever his fine self decides to show up�)
will be OCC for most, if not all, of this story, considering what I�m going to
be doing with him. �evil laughter fills
the air- Compared to my prior works,
this will have a darker tone to it, and Inuyasha will be doing stuff he
normally would never even consider doing (this should tell you how much poo is
gonna hit the fan�)
Now, I�ll shut up and you�ll
go read. :)

Seeds of Doubt
Chapter 1
�Kagome, stay here!�
�But��
�No! I will
not allow my woman to be drawn into battle with this hound! Stay put!�
Kouga dashed off, leaving Kagome coughing and waving away the dust he
stirred up in his departurep>
�Dammit, Kouga-kun!� hissed the miko, stamping her
foot petulantly. �You guys need me for
this one!� But she remained where Kouga
had ordered her to stay, fearing that she would anger the ookami if she
followed. The wolf was really starting
to grate on her nerves: the clinginess, the overprotectiveness, and the
complete lack of a clue that Kagome didn�t want his protection. She wanted Inuyasha�s protection, but the
hanyou wasn�t there, just like he hadn�t been there for her in the past 36 and
a half days�
Thirty-six and half days ago was the group�s fight
with a shard-amped oni and the last day they�d seen Inuyasha; Shippo and Kirara
followed the dog demon�s trail, only to find the end in the middle of a wide
open meadow, accompanied by the faint scent of his blood and another that made
the two youkai shudder. And thus started
the 36 � days of searching and inquiries, both of which turned up nothing of
their hanyou companion. They�d asked
Kouga and his pack for their help and even went so far as to ask Sesshoumaru if
he�d seen his half brother. Nothing from
those two resources. It was like
Inuyasha had gone �poof� and vanished from the face of the planet.
And Kouga had taken full advantage of the
inu-hanyou�s absence, reestablishing his claim on Kagome and nearly killing her
with all the attention he gave her. Kagome
couldn�t work up the guts to tell the wolf off�she needed his help and didn�t
want to drive him completely away.
Two weeks ago, the little group was detoured from
their search for Inuyasha: stories were coming from the northwest of a very
powerful inu-youkai wreaking havoc on all human settlements in the area. This demon was causing so much death and
destruction within the three weeks since his first attack, that people dubbed
him the �Shiroshi,� the White Death, the white referring to the gleaming white
fur of the youkai�s true form. There
were also stories of this Shiroshi utilizing a Shikon no kakera and that he was
seeking out more. It was a tough choice,
since it felt like they were abandoning Inuyasha, but Kagome and the others
agreed that the Shiroshi needed to be stopped.
And now, almost five weeks after the Shiroshi�s first
appearance, they had finally caught up to him and he was the �hound� Kouga had
referred to. Miroku and Sango, with
Kirara, had already left, leaving Kagome to quibble with Kouga.
Bringing us back to now�
Kagome fretted, wanting to go along with the strong
pull of a Shikon shard that came from the same direction Sango and the others
had run off to, but that shard didn�t belong to Kouga�the Shiroshi was
packing the power of a Shikon. Doubts
sg upg up in her mind like crabgrass. �Maybe Kouga-kun�s right. It could be too dangerous. We made Shippo stay behind for that very
reason. And I haven�t been fighting like
I used to�when Inuyasha was around��
The sounds of a battle joined acted like weed killer
and any doubt withered and died.
�Forget this!�
Tightening her fingers around the smooth wood of her short bow, Kagome
dashed off toward the fight.

Upon entering what was left of the village, Kagome
found herself surrounded by smoke, glowing embers, and dying flames. The miko grimaced at the random puddles of
dark red on the ground, the splashes of red on walls that hadn�t been knocked down
or burned down, and certain things tmademade her glad that she wasn�t that good
at identifying human anatomy. Up ahead,
through the lung clogging smoke, she could make out one figure on the ground,
poised with something long and skinny�Miroku.
There was another, larger figure hovering in the air overhead�Sango
astride Kirara. Kagome frowned. �Why
are they just standi��
The wind shifted hard enough to
remove most of the smoke blocking the girl�s view and, as she pulled a ebony
strand of hair away from her face, she saw why the hoshi and taiji-ya were
remaining motionless: two inuka youkai in their rather large, fear-inspiring,
four-legged forms. The white one was
obviously the Shiroshi, and the other one was�
�Kouga-kun�?� Kagome whispered in awe.
She�d never seen the ookami�s true form and she
couldn�t help but stare. He was big, not
nearly as big as Sesshoumaru, but a lot meaner and more feral looking. Instead of the classic black and silver of a
typical wolf, Kouga was black with dark brown markings; a light beige colored
his muzzle and throat, along with all of his undersides. Right now, his somewhat ragged-looking ears
were pinned back, the thick brownish-black fur on his ruff was bristling, his
long white fangs were bared, and his eyes were a glowing blood red.
Kagome shivered�Kouga�s eyes reminded her of Inuyasha
when he was trapped within a youkai blood induced rage. She could do nothing right now, only watch;
the two demons were darting about, snapping at each other, and there was no clear
shot of the Shiroshi. She came along
side Miroku and waited; he didn�t glance in her direction, but did lay his
gauntleted hand on her shoulder. Their
side was not fairing well. Kouga
was using his increased speed, but his white opponent was much quicker, dodging
the wolf�s lunges, while landing a bite or scratch on Kouga�s fla leg legs, or
neck.
�He�s merely toying with Kouga�� Miroku
murmured. His hand slipped into his
robes and came out with a number of ofudas, in anticipation of the opening that
wouome.ome.
At the monk�s remark, Kagome focused a little closer
on the fight. Was it just her, or was
the large white dog moving in an almost�languid manner? And were his eyes not as consumed by blood
lust like Kouga�s? �He�s enjoying this��
Growling, Kouga crouched low, and then sprang forward,
attempting to tackle the white dog�it didn�t work. The larger youkai ducked off to the side, but
his paws barely touched the ground when he disappeared in a white blur and
Kouga suddenly found himself knocked to the ground, a snarling dog looming over
him.
All onlookers gasped.
This inu youkai was fast, very fast. �Maybe
even faster than Sesshoumaru�, they all thought worriedly.
The two youkai tussled, each trying to acquire and
keep a superior position, all the while trying to bite and claw each other. Again, Kouga was not doing well, and the
Shiroshi was back to toying with his lupine opponent. Their fight took them out of the village and
into the forest�the three humans followed�and trees that had seen countless
decades slip by found themselves knocked down by the demons. Kagome cringed when a high-pitched howl
abruptly tore out of Kouga�s throat�the dog demon had quit playing and had
clamped his jaws on one of the wolf�s forelimbs, crushing it, while his claws
raked bloody paths across Kouga�s chest and abdomen. The pain brought the wolf a sudden surge of
strength and he jerked away, limping on three limbs and trailing blood as he
managed to put some distance between him and the Shiroshi before weakness overtook
him and forced him onto his side.
A pink tongue darted out and Kouga�s blood
disappeared from the Shiroshi�s muzzle, returning it to a pristine white. Head held low, and lips pulled back to reveal
lethal-looking fangs, the dog demon slunk toward thakenakened wolf, ready to
deliver the final bite.
Kagome shrieked, �NO!!� Her hand whisked an arrow out of her quiver
and nocked it, ready to fire.
Sango beat her to the punch though, her Hiraikotsu
slicing through the air by the time Kagome started to aim. The boomerang�s intended target saw the
attack coming and flattened himself to the trampled and bloody grass, letting
the weapon sail harmlessly overhead; Sango cursed quietly and watched her
weapon lop the tops off a number of tree before turning back. A louder curse camt oft of her when the
Shiroshi, who�d also been tracing the Hiraikotsu�s path, jumped up and snatched
the boomerang from the air whis his mouth.
Swinging his great head around to glare up at the taiji-ya, the doggy
version of a smirk came to the youkai�s mouth before his jaw muscles tensed and
he proceeded to snap the seven-foot long weapon into three pieces. The two ends fell and lodged their tips into
the soil and the middle was spit out like a cherry po:p>o:p>
Sango could do nothing but gawk slack-jawed at the
demon. He�d broken Hiraikotsu! She�d never thought twas was possible. Crack, yes; break, no.
�Not good, not good��
Miroku glanced down at the ofudas in his hand and promptly put them
away�the inu youkai would dart out of their path with no problem. But there was one thing not even this speedy
demon could run from� �Sango!�
The taiji-ya understood his intent and directed
Kirara to land beside him�the fire-cat would not be able to resist the monk�s
Void. Miroku tugged the rosary from his
cursed hand and unleashed his Kazaana, but to everyone�s dismay, it didn�t
work�when the large white dog felt the Void�s pull, he dug his claws in and
hunkered down, not budging an inch to the winds that tried to dislodge
him. With a growl of frustration, the
hoshi finally closed off his Air Void.
The Shiroshi stood to his full height, and grinned,
and attacked.
A moment hadn�t even passed when the youkai actually yipped
and skidded to halt, his front paws sliding out from under him, leaving his
haunches high in the air as a glowing arrow whistled right over him�Kagome�s
arrow. The crimson faded from his eyes,
and for the first time, he looked at the miko eye eyes the same color as dark
honey.
Kagome readied another arrow and aimed. �St- Stay back!� she hollered. �Inuyasha,
where are you? I really need your help
right now.� She wasn�t sure, but
could�ve sworn that the demon rolled its eyes at her. �Jerk! You�re really gonna get it now!�
He did stay away, but didn�t retreat either. The dog started to circle the little group,
forcing them to put their backs to each other, and examined the three humans
and one demon that had the nerve to attack him.
As he circled, Kagome wondered if she was allowed to
think of him as a magnificent creature.
To an impartial observer, one whose life wasn�t being threatened, the
dog demon was anressressive sight.
Kagome had thought Sesshoumaru was big, but the Shiroshi was bigger, at
least 20 feet, maybe even 25 feet, at the withers. His thick, shiny coat was indeed white,
almost pale silver, and it covered a lean, sinewy body that moved more like a
cat than a dog. Unlike the taiyoukai,
this inuyoukai lacked a tail, and his ears were perked, like a German shepherd
or a huskie�s; also, he bore no markings on his cheeks or brow and the only thing
that stood out was a rather large Shikon no kakera twinkling in his forehead.
After a few laps, he stopped and shook his head, as
if in disbelief. There was a shift in
youki, and the demon started to shrink and in seconds the Shiroshi had taken a
more human form, standing up from his crouched position. Though his back was turned to them the three
humans could pick out a number of features.
They were a little surprised at his height�they figured he would�ve been
taller than Sesshoumaru, but he was actually a little bit shorter. (Apparently, demon size did not directly
translate toward human size.) His long
silvery hair, except for a forelock on each side of his face, was secured at
the nape of his neck, and it tickled the backs of his knees. Instead of light colored clothingke
ke
Sesshoumaru, the Shiroshi favored dark clothing: black sashinuki, and a dark
royal blue haori that had a complex web-like pattern sewn into the fine silk
with black thread. It was all covered by
a black, sleeveless overcoat that was cut millimeters from the ground, almost
making it appear like he was floating�the wind caught the overcoat�s tails,
causing them to snap quietly, the only sound that could be heard in the
desolated village. The afternoon light
glinted off the silver gauntlets he wore on his forearms; they covered the
backs of his hands as well and they had an intricate pattern etched into them
that was very similar to the pattern stitched into the haori.
The Shiroshi�s shoulders shook a little as a low
chuckle was heard. �A miko�� he growled
quietly. �Of course�� He brought up his hand, knuckles cracking as
he flexed his claws. �Do you really
think you can beat me, little girl?� he continued, his voice low and raspy.
Kagome bristled at the �little girl� remark.
�I could show you what I did to the last miko
who took a shot at me�it didn�t end very well for her.� His knuckles cracked again. �Or better yet�� The hand that had been cracking moved to his
left side and withdrew the sword hidden by the overcoat.
In unison, the hoshi, miko, and taiji-ya drew in a
sharp breath. The Shiroshi�s battered
katana�it looked exactly like the�
�This might be fun too�� The blade in his hand flashed and
transformed, morphing into a five-foot long blade, but it was not the silver,
smooth edged piece of metal the others were expecting; instead, the blade was
black and serrated�a wicked-looking piece of weaponry. �What do you think?� Turning on his heel, the white-haired youkai
finally faced the little group, a taunting smirk on his mouth.
They gasped, their eyes wide; even Kirara�s growl
caught in her throat. Kagome�s knees
grew weak and she nearly dropped her bow.
To her, the Shiroshi�s identity was unmistakable. The ears were different, now like a true
youkai�s, his voice a little bit lower, his features sharpened to more
demon-like angles, and a single dark red stripe marked each cheek, but Kagome
would recognize the individual in front of her anywhere.
Four little syllables slipped out of the stunned
miko: �Inuyasha�?�

Making Japanese E-Z 4 U!
Incanicanine, as in the
Canidae (Dog) Family
Sashinuki=basically, they�re
what the Fluffy-chan wears on his lower half (I wanted a sleeker look for the
character, so I figured that would be better done with the sashinuki than
billowy hakama.)

Well, isn�t that a
cliffie?? Mwa-hahahahaha! You should hopefully know the drill by now� -points to the little review link-thingy- Please?
