DISCLAIMER: ALL CHARACTERS IN THIS FIC BELONG TO AND ONLY BELONG TO RUMIKO TAKAHASHI, THE AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR OF THE MANGA SERIES(THAT IS YET TO BE COMPLETED) INU-YASHA: A FEUDAL FAIRY TALE
Chapter one: Darkness
A thick forest came into view, as a girl of the age fifteen was running at top speeds. The girl tripped and fell on a protruding tree root and fell, landing harshly on her face. She got up, panting slightly, and glanced wildly around. a crackling noise of breaking twigs came from behind her and she jumped a good five feet.
"Inu-Yasha, this is not funny!"
Silence filled the clearing. the girl glanced around nervously.
"No, really, I'm serious," she said loudly to apparently no one. Silence filled the forest again.
"I know you'r-KYAAA!!" a hand had grabbed her arm firmly.
"LET GO!!" she shrieked I HAVE to go home!" the person who had been holding her arm let go, and she spun around to glare at him.
"But you need to help me collect the shards!" he said, looking hurt.
"Inu-yasha, you know we can't collect anymore, because Kikyo and Naraku have them, I KNOW that's not the reason." she stood there, arms crossed.
"B-but Shippo, uh, he needs you, uh, to..." he sat thinking for a while and was starting to say something, but was interrupted by Kagome's snort of laughter.
"If I had known you were going to miss me so much, I would have invited you, but you stick out like a sore thumb," she giggled.
"I won't miss you! I just-uh-get bored with only Shippo to talk to.
"Whatever, look, I'll be back in three days, and you'd better not come and get me."
"fine," he said glumly, shuffling around and walking to the nearest tree. "I'll just sit here for three days straight 'till I starve." and he said louder as she lowered herself into the well. "And I'll live off SQUIRRELS that happen to crawl on my branch. She ignored him.
"SEE YOU INU-YASHA!" she yelled as she sped through time.
*~*^*~*
"Why the long face, Inu-yasha?" asked Keade, who was leaning over the fire in the middle of the room.
"None of your business, y'old crone."
"Kagome left again, I suppose," she mused aloud.
"And what if she did!?"
"Every day you two seem to become closer and closer, it's no wonder that you are angry." she clearly stated looking up at him.
"Feh," he snorted. "that is the lamest thing I've ever heard." And with that he stormed out of the small hut, fuming. 'I have never felt more for her than care, Kaede must not have her head screwed on tightly' but as he told himself this, he didn't believe it. He could remember times when she had given him a feeling, so unlike, but at the same time like the feeling kikyo had once inspired. Kikyo. He simply could not look at her properly ever again, she is made of dirt, dammit, dirt!
As he snapped to, he found himself with one leg over the side of the well. 'maybe I'll just go and visit,' he thought, jumping into the well. 'if she does not want me there I will leave.'
*~*^*~*
"I'm ho-o-o-ome!!!" Kagome screeched into her house. "HELLO!?" nobody answered "whatever"
She hung up her jacket on the hook near the door. 'brrr! since when is it this cold in October?' she sat down on the couch and turned on the TV, changing the channel to weather/news.
"Tonight a storm will blow across half of Japan, which we will predict 6 to 4 feet of snow, everybody pack up your food, and find wood for fire, and above all, collect people that may need your place for shelter-"
Kagome shut the TV off. 'if a storm THAT bad is coming, then it should be coming in feudal Japan too, I should collect everybody and have them stay here.' She pulled on her jacket and made her way across the yard to the bone-eater's well. Just as she stepped inside the shrine a red and white blur came out."Inu-yasha!" she said happily. "come with me back to the past!"
"Wha-"
"Hurry, it's urgent!" she grabbed his hand and she pulled him back to the well. "There is a huge snow storm blowing our way and we need them to be safe!" They came to a soft landing on the ground, Kagome could feel the cold here too, that meant she was right, they would get the storm too. "Help me find Kaede, Miroku, Sango and Shippo!"
"Sure," and they split up. In about five minutes, they came back to Kaede's hut and discussed what was going on, when Inu-yasha and Kagome were done, they all held hands(Kagome~Inu-yasha~Miroku-Sango-Keade-shippo) and jumped into the well. On the other side, they all clambered out, Inu-yasha carrying Keade, and Kagome climbed the wooden rope ladder attached to the side.
"Everyone inside, quick!" Kagome commanded, as they all bustled inside. It had started to snow, it came down as tiny pieces, but there were so many that one could barely see.
It soon became nightfall and there was at least two feet of snow outside. Kagome's parents had not come home yet and the snow was still falling steady. Kagome, Inu-yasha and Shippo slept in Kagome's bed (Inu-yasha made sure there was a good two feet between them. Shippo slept in between them, while Sango and Miroku slept on the floor. Keade slept on the couch downstairs because Kagome refused to have her sleep on the floor. As they settled into their positions, Miroku and Sango immediately fell asleep, and Shippo, deciding it was too crowded in Kagome's bed, curled up at the foot of Kaede's couch downstairs.
Kagome was fixing the sheets, while Inu-yasha gazed out the window and the lights went out with a *pop* as a particularly strong wind blew.
"Damn!" cursed Kagome as she stood up, accidentally stepping on Miroku "The power went out, that means we don't have any heat!" A sound of shuffling was heard as Miroku said, "Don't worry Sango, we can keep each other warm!" and a painful *smack* indicated that Sango had hit him in retaliation.
"Whoa! Inu-yasha! Watch where you are standing," she shot at him, knowing where he was depending on the golden glow that emitted from his eyes. "You can see in the dark, right?"
"Sort of, If you count me being able to smell you."
"Right" Kagome felt her way back over to the bed and tripped on something the size of a basketball.
"YAAA!" Shippo and Kagome screamed at the same time, and she fell backwards, automatically turning around to try and catch herself. She felt arms circle her shoulders and she fell into Inu-yasha's chest.
"Oh!" she realized who had caught her. "Thanks Inu-yasha," as she grabbed onto his outer kimono for support, and as she pulled herself level she found two very, very close golden eyes. Apparently they were inches away, and Kagome blushed a deep cherry, but it was too dark to see. They're closeness made her want to do one thing-she closed her eyes and tilted her head upward. He lowered his head to hers, and their lips touched, just as Sango yelled "HENTAI!!". The two sprang apart so fast that Kagome was on her bed and Inu-yasha was cowering in her closet.
"YOU LETCH!!! YOU PERVERT!!! GET OFF ME!!" there was some muffled whimpers and yelps of Miroku as Sango beat him to a bloody pulp.
