Chapter 1 – First Appearance
A long time ago, one hundred years to be precise, humans acquired a mysterious type of defense against youkais. At first they used it to retake what the youkais a taken from them, but after some years had passed they began to be greedy and decided that the youkais had to be eradicate from the surface of the Earth. The youkais were forced to go in hiding and even the hanyou, those of mixed blood, weren't safe anymore.
At first, the humans took pity on the hanyou and put them to work where their strength were useful. After a couple of years, hanyou were just slaves for the humans around the world and as the technology became more advanced, even the hanyou where killed on sight.
As time passed, the ruling governments became under the rules of youkais hunters, whom were hunting all sort of youkais and even the others mythical types of creatures that weren't harmful to humans like feas and others. The majority of the human race didn't know about the past, because the youkais hunters were hiding it from them, even youkais and hanyou whom were in hiding didn't remembered the real past as it was before the "defense" came in.
In Japan, around our era, in the forest known as the Forest of Inuyasha, a woman was running for her life, as she was pursued by a group of youkais hunters, with the latest form of Defense that they had created. For you see that woman was an Inuyoukai-miko hanyou, one of the few existing in the whole world. She had long black hairs with black dog ears on the top of her head, their tips were a dark pink. Her eyes where cat-like, with a beautiful purple color and a slight pink shine to them. For the moment she was wearing black yoga pants with a white tank top and a baggy blue shirt over it. Her cargo boots were crushing the leafs on the ground as she run as fast as she could, her breath coming short.
The woman cursed as she tried and failed again, to put back her protective shield around her. She knew that if she wanted to return home, she had to put back her shield on, for it was the only thing that was protecting her from the Defense and disguising her as a normal human. As she continued to run and didn't pay any attention to where she was going, as she finally brought back her shield around herself, her ankle got stuck in a vein; making her fall down in an old well. As she was about to hit the bottom, she found herself surrounded by a powerful blue light. She blinked and looked up when she noticed that the light disappeared. What happened? she thought and looked to bright blue sky, which was the opposite to what she had seen when she was running.
She jumped up and gripped some veins just before the top the well, to get out as a normal human, she figured to not take any chances. As she look around as she get out, she was surprised to feel so much youkais youki and even some human reiki. How is it possible? Mikos and Monks were killed even before Youkais, since the Humans didn't trust them… she thought and gasped as she gazed around her. The forest wasn't even like the one she was running through.
She dusted herself and walked slowly off in the woods and suddenly froze as he saw an inu-hanyou stuck in a tree, being pinned in it by an holy arrow, which was filled with reiki. She walked up to him and shivered as she could feel her inner beast wake up and looking up at the male hanyou, whom was wearing a red haori with a red hakama, his long messy white hairs, with white dogs ears on his head.
Pup need to be freed and feed, he isn't in condition to be around here… she growled low.
Pup? He can be even older then us… she replied
Pup is weaker then us, so we take care of him as if he was our pup… He needs attention… said the beast as she looked at the hanyou, By the way a group of humans are about to jump you… snickered the beast as the woman jumped up when said group appeared around her.
She immediately noticed an old woman in the group, which was looking at her.
"Hello, child, can you tell us why you are in this part of the wood?" she asked smiling softly at her.
"Hum, hello, my name is Higurashi Kagome and I am lost…" she said and blinked as she could feel reiki coming from the old woman. Why isn't she using her reiki to restore her youth? she thought frowning.
"Oye, Kikyou, why are you staying there!? Why don't you free me so we can finish what you started all those years ago?" said a harsh voice behind her.
Kagome turned her head and looked at the hanyou that was stuck on the tree, his golden eyes glaring at her as he was showing his fangs in a show of defiance.
Should show pup how to behave in front of alpha bitch… growled her beast
Later. Replied Kagome frowning at him.
"I am not this Kikyou person that you are talking about, pup." She growled up at him
"Pup!? Why you wench!" he yelled
"What did you just call me? I dare you to say it again, Pup!" she replied and walked up to him to grasp at the rosary that was hanging around his neck.
"Such a fiery spirit… it's will be a good meal for Lady Centipede!" said a voice behind the group of human.
They yelled and ran as a huge female centipede youkai appeared out of nowhere and tried to grasp at them. Kagome blinked as she saw the youkai in true form, it appeared that the female was crazy to be out and about. But what was making Kagome the most perplex; it was the humans that weren't using any type of Defense against her.
"Oye, we… hum bitch! Get me out if here! I'll fight her!" said the hanyou
"No you stay there pup…" said Kagome and closed her eyes to concentrate on disabling her shield.
As she retook her true form, her hair got longer and her dogs' ears appeared on the top of her head. She eared gasps around her as her fangs and claws grew and got deadlier. She smirked as her transformation finished and she flexed her fingers. The centipede youkai blinked and she went for her anyway. Kagome rolled her eyes upward and put a hand in front of her.
"Heavenly Moon Slice!" she said her hand glowed as she cut the air in front of her and kicking at the youkai, purifying it on contact.
"What are you?" asked the stunned hanyou with an awed expression, border on worshipping look.
"I am an Inuyoukai-miko hanyou, pup… where I am from only the strongest and the craftiest survive…" she said and looked at the old miko. "why didn't you use your reiki?" she asked
"I cannot use it anymore, child…" said the old miko and blinked as she looked at the inuhanyou, "Inuyasha! The arrow had disappeared!" she exclaimed and suddenly she was in the grasp of the boy.
"Where the Shikon no Tama, Kaede? I know that Kikyou had it with her…" he growled
"Hey, stop it!?" yelled Kagome as she tried to think of a way to free the old miko from the grasp of the seemly out of control hanyou.
"The rosary, child!" gasped painfully the old miko
Kagome smirked and looked at the hanyou.
"Sit!" she said and the hanyou face planted in the ground, freeing the old woman from his grasp.
They could hear him swore as he tried to extract himself from the crater that he had created on impact.
"I warn you just this time, pup, if you disobey me in any way and don't do what I say, this is what will happened to you, are we clear?" asked Kagome as she looked down at the boy.
He nodded and after a little while he was able to get up right. The old miko invited them to her home and as they walked into the village, Kagome noticed that the houses and everything around here was different then what she was used to. Is it for real? This is not the world where I'm from… youkais and hanyous in true form all the times… mikos and monks alive… no Defense anywhere… it's too good to be true… I do hope it's not a dream and that it's real. I won't ever go back to where I call home!? She thought and walked to the old miko's hut with a lighter footsteps then she ever had in all her life…
To be continue...
