The Will Of The Free
A/N: So hopefully by the time this first chapter is uploaded I'll have prewritten all of it. I know Inuyasha fanfiction is dying out, the anime IS pretty old but with Black Panther and Infinity War not that far away, I thought I'd start writing as soon as possible!
Pairing: Steve x Kagome
Kagome cursed under her breath, backed up against the wall in a dark alleyway. She had been sent by Sesshomaru to Brooklyn, New York, to find and eliminate a group of rogue demons. Over the past two years, attacks in America had become more prominent, and it was becoming a problem.
The creatures before her were animalistic in nature, large beasts the colour of the night, with fur on their bodies, looking like panthers until the tail. Their tail was scaly and ended with a large spike.
She took in a deep breath, feeling their auras around her. Fifteen or so demons standing in a circle around her, all snarling deeply. She had no clue who was controlling them, or what had provoked them, though it was obvious something had caused the sudden spike in demon attacks. All she knew was that she was in New York, and that she was surrounded.

As usual, Steve was jogging. He could rarely sleep these days, and the serum had reduced the need for rest. He enjoyed being able to go out at night and take in the new Brooklyn. The cold air hit his skin as he made his way down one of the many back alleys in Brooklyn. A choir of snarls coming from an alleyway he just passed broke his concentration. Curious, he spun on his heel, walking slowly towards the alleyway.
He heard a soft curse, and sped up his pace, jogging slightly faster to the alleyway.

"I don't want to hurt you," She said, almost pleading with the creatures not to have to hurt them.
Faster, he increased his pace.
They snarled louder, circling in on her, drawn to the power source placed at the base of her neck.
"But you want to hurt me, don't you?" She sighed, glancing quickly down at the jewel the demons were fixated on.
Steve stopped at the entrance to the alleyway, seeing a short girl huddled against the wall, and fifteen or so strange looking animals around her. The appearance of the animals was eerie, slightly reminding him of the chitauri he fought just half a year ago.
"Ma'am?" He called out to the woman.
"Crap," Kagome clenched her fists. She hated when civilians got involved. Taking a deep breath, she decided to eliminate the demons and deal with the man later.
Focusing on their green, ugly auras, her palms lit up with a pink light. Initially, she was surprised by the warmth of the man's aura, though she pushed past it and focused on the demons surrounding her.
She pushed her miko ki outwards, and into the physical world. The demons hissed, feeling a burning heat surrounding their bodies. Within seconds, their forms were gone and their auras had vanished.

Steve watched as she cursed at him under her breath. She looked away from him, an intense look of concentration on her face. Suddenly, her palms lit up bright pink, the light getting brighter and filling the alleyway. Steve put his hand over his face to shield his eyes, and when the light had died down he opened them again.
"Who- What are you?" He had only seen abilities like hers in Scarlett Witch and Vision, and this girl definitely didn't look like either of them.
The girl looked back up at him, shocked he was still there, "You should probably be going now," She said shakily.
"I want answers," Steve stood his ground, making a mental note to tell all of this to Tony and Fury.
"If you want to stay here, be my guest, but I'm going," She tried to brush past him and into the street.
Steve grabbed her by the arm, his other hand going for the phone in his pocket. "I don't want to hurt you," he repeated her own words back to her, "I just need answers."
Her eyebrows furrowed, and Steve grasped his phone and clicked the first number on speed dial.
His grip was strong on her arm. Kagome evaluated the situation, she didn't want to hurt this civilian, and definitely didn't want to get whoever he was calling involved.

She started resisting after the phone call went through. Kagome pulled back, but his grip only tightened.
"Let me go!" She hissed angrily.
"Hey, Steve, who's with ya?" A deep male voice chuckled through the phone, "Finally got yourself a girlfriend?"
"Stark, get over here right now. We have another alien on our hands." Steve said seriously, tightening his grip on Kagome's arm.
"I'm not an alien- let go-" She pulled further.
"I know what I saw, and I know what you did to those creatures, you're coming with me." He was calm, and his grip stayed firm.
"I'm on my way, I'll get Fury." The voice lost its cheery tone, and the phone call ended.
'God,' Kagome thought, 'Sesshomaru isn't going to be happy.'

Within two minutes an armoured truck had arrived at the entrance to the alleyway, a small group of armed soldiers spilling out of the truck and towards the man that held her arm.
'Captain, is this the alien?" One of the men pointed to her.
"Yes-" Steve started.
A man wearing dark clothing with an eyepatch, exited the truck, "Don't you think she's a bit human to be an alien, Captain Rogers?" He quipped sourly.
Steve sighed, "Fury- she's like Wanda."
With that, the man now known as 'Fury', gestured to the soldiers, and they cuffed her.
"Hey! You can't do this!" She screamed, throwing her body against the men in a futile effort to escape.
"I'm sorry, Miss, but it's for your own good." The stoic man told her bitterly.
She snorted angrily, fire in her eyes.
"We'll discuss this later, Captain Rogers." Fury told him, both entering the truck.

In the back of the truck, hand cuffed, Kagome was seething. She was surrounded by armed men, restrained and tired from using some of her ki.
"Pretty little thing isn't she?" One of the soldiers sneered to the man sitting next to him. The man smirked.
"I wonder what she did to deserve all this," he chuckled.
They spoke about her as if she wasn't there, only serving to fuel her anger.

"Give me a brief, Captain." Fury demanded.
"I was running and I heard snarls from a nearby alleyway, I went to investigate and found the girl surrounded by what looked to be mutated animals." Steve paused.
"And?"
"And the palms of her hands started to glow, a bright pink, and then the alleyway filled with light. Then the creatures were ashes on the ground and it was just me and her."
"So you think she's like Wanda?" Fury raised his eyebrow.
"Yes- but also no at the same time. She has similar powers but the way she used them seemed different to Wanda. With Wanda you could see her energy manifest above her palms, and she can manipulate it. With this girl, it was almost inside her body and trying to escape."
"If she can be persuaded to our side she could be a valuable asset." Fury mused, setting one hand on his hip.
