Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, although I really wish I did.
This was just an idea I just thought up, so it might be a bit rusty. I tried my best! If I get some good reviews, I'll consider continuing the story.
Prologue
It was a quiet spring morning in the middle of February. The hanyou sat on a low branch of a tree with his arms crossed over his chest. He let out a low growl and glared at the Bone-Eater's Well. Kagome was supposed to have come back yesterday.
"Don't be so upset Inuyasha," Shippo said. He was sitting on the grass playing with his toys and eating candy. "If you want her to come back, then why don't you go get her yourself?"
"Aargh! Would you just shut up? Kagome told me not to go get her!" He glared down at the small fox-demon and felt like hitting him on the head. He clenched his fists and bared his teeth.
"Always so moody…" Shippo rolled his eyes and he licked the cherry-flavored lollipop.
Inuyasha leaned his back against the tree and put his hands behind his head. "Don't you ever get sick of eating that junk?" He tried eating some of that "candy" stuff, but it was too sweet for his taste. He'd rather enjoy eating ramen. Just the thought of ramen made his mouth water. Now he wished that Kagome was here already.
Kagome pulled herself over the edge of the well and put her heavy backpack down. She sighed and sat down. She was tired from a hard day at school. So many tests. Having to come back and forth through the well made it even harder for her to keep up with her studies.
"Kagome's back!" Shippo jumped up to his feet and ran over to her. "Welcome back Kagome!" He jumped into her arms.
"Shippo!" She wrapped her arms around the fox-tyke.
"Kagome, did you bring any more sweets and those dry potatoes in a bag?"
Kagome nodded and smiled. "Of course I did. I wouldn't want to forget, now would I?"
"Inuyasha's been a pain in the neck since you weren't here!"
Inuyasha walked over with a growl and clenched his fists. He bashed Shippo on the head. "I have not, you little brat!"
"Ow! What'd you do that for? Kagome, Inuyasha's being mean!"
Kagome frowned and glared at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha…"
Inuyasha gasped and stepped back a couple of feet. "N-no Kagome, don't-"
"SIT!" She yelled.
The prayer beads around Inuyasha's neck glowed brightly and pulled him down with a powerful force. Inuyasha fell face first in the ground. "AH!" He twitched.
Shippo jumped down from Kagome's arms.
"Shippo, do you think you can do me a favor?" Kagome asked as she rummaged through her backpack.
"What is it?"
"I need you to take this to Kaede." She handed Shippo some medicinal herbs. "It's kind of urgent. And when you get back, I'll give you some more candy, 'kay?"
"Ok!" He liked the sound of getting more candy for doing a simple task. He took the herbs and quickly ran through the bushes towards Kaede's village.
Kagome looked down at Inuyasha. "Sorry Inuyasha, I'm going to have to leave again. I forgot one of my textbooks at home and I need it for studying."
Inuyasha groaned as he sat up and wiped the dirt from his face. "Is studying really that important?"
Kagome frowned. "Of course it is! I'm falling behind in my classes, and getting low test scores!"
"Fine, fine, whatever. Just hurry up and get your book, then come right back."
Kagome rolled her eyes and turned to jump back into the well.
Inuyasha stood up and walked back to the tree. He sat down and leaned his back against the trunk and then crossed his arms.
"So, you like hanging out with humans now?" An unfamiliar voice was just above him.
Inuyasha quickly stood up and placed his hands on the hilt of his sword. "What?" He turned to face a young girl who was crouching on the branch above. She had short silver hair, and dog ears like his. She wore something that was similar to Sango's demon exterminator clothing, but with a white silk lace tied around her waist. With two swords tied on each side. Her face was covered with a mask, which she removed seconds later. Her eyes were a sea-green color with slit pupils. She had serious look in her eyes.
Inuyasha blinked. Who was this person that seemed so familiar with him?
She stood up and jumped down from the branch. She was about the same height as Kagome. "Don't say that you've forgotten about me…"
Inuyasha moves his hand away from his sword and stood up straight. He looked her from head to toe. Nothing about her seemed to ring a bell. He looked back up at her face. "Uh… I…" He couldn't figure out what to say to her.
Her serious expression slowly changed to sadness and disappointment. "So… you really don't remember me…?"
