Inuyasha's Daughter
Description: My name is Inume. I have white hair, dog ears inherited from my father, and brown/amber colored eyes. I carry the two great swords my father and uncle once had. It has been many years since my family has defeated the great demon Naraku, and now, I have found out that he, sadly, has a son... Now I must defeat him before he completes his father's legacy. I like to travel alone, but unfortunately, I have some companions, Naj and Era…
Chapter 1: Naraku's Return?
"Stupid, good-for-nothing Naj and Era," Inume mumbled under her breath, and narrowly avoiding and attack from the demon she was currently fighting. Then much louder, she said, "YOU TWO! GET OVER HERE AND HELP ME FIGHT THESE DEMONS!"
"We're busy over here too!" Naj yelled over the noise of her sword clashing with a demon's head. Another came and she threw a fire dagger.
Era was 20 feet away slashing through the demons with her throwing fans. She was getting tired from all her air bending.
"Will they ever stop?" Era yelled.
Suddenly, Inume caught a strange scent in the wind. 'Why does this scent smell familiar?' She thought to herself.
Soon all the demons were dead, carcasses everywhere. Then Inume's nose picked up a different scent.
"Guys," she yelled to her companions, "I've got a scent of blood, human blood."
The three of them ran through the woods with Inume in the lead. They finally reached a clearing and saw the village. Unfortunately, Inume had been right.
The village was burning still and a demonic aura was lingering; Inume recognized it.
"NARAKU!" Inume yelled.
"Naraku? But your father defeated him years ago!" Era and Naj both replied.
"I knew I recognized that scent! I'll kill you!" Inume shouted to the sky. "Naraku! You bastard!"
"But, then what happened to the village?" Naj asked.
"Naraku's sick fun," was the answer.
"Well?" Era interrupted. "Let's find this sick bastard!"
"You don't understand!" Inume yelled. "He's extremely tricky, and likes to toy with people. Not to mention he is the hardest damn bastard to track!"
"Then we'll search until we find his ass," Era snapped.
Naj explained to her, "That means we're gonna help you."
"No."
"Why the hell not?"
"Because I know what happened with my father and I don't want that to happen to my friends too."
"That's just too damn bad," Era stubbornly replied. "Because I'm going with you no matter what!"
"Me too!" Naj agreed.
"It's your lives then," Inume replied to them.
"Inume!" Era complained. "It's getting dark we should set up camp."
"No I have a lead on his scent!" Inume snapped back. "We have to keep going, or I know I'll loose it!"
"Inume…………." Naj piped in, "you're tired too. I can tell. Let's just rest for the night ok?"
"Fine!" Inume stubbornly agreed.
They made a fire and laid out their sleeping bags. Inume, being like her father, slept sitting up. All were quiet, and when the fire dwindled down to ashes, they all slept.
In the morning, Inume had left a note. She wrote she had gone to get breakfast. Naj and Era cleaned up the ashes and made sure no one knew they had been there.
However, someone already knew they had been there and had snuck up on them without their knowing. It was Kagura; she quickly grabbed both and knocked them out. Kagura pulled out her feather and flew away. She left something for Inume.
Inume came back with the fish she had caught from the river. She came to the campsite and saw that Naj and Era were gone. Then she picked up that scent.
"Kagura," she whispered. The scents were mixed.
"That WENCH! While I was gone she took them!" Inume thought angrily. Dropping the fish, she saw what Kagura had left to show that Inume had guesses right. Left behind was Era's fans and Naj's sword. Inume knew they would never leave these.
She jumped up to find the scent and chased after it. The scents lead her straight to the river, where she had just been.
"DAMN IT!" Inume yelled. Now she didn't know where to go; the river was covering the scent.
Naj and Era were slowly regaining consciousness. Kagura had captured them, and had their arms chained up to a stone wall. Things weren't looking too good. Naj couldn't reach her fire daggers to melt the chains, and air bending wouldn't do too much against the thick steel. Naj sighed and waited for Era to wake up.
A short while later, Kagura walked down into the cavern, followed silently by an unfamiliar boy with a scent almost identical to Naraku's scent. Era was just waking up. "Who are you? What do you want with us…Why do you smell so much like Naraku? Are you another of his incarnations?"
"Let me explain," Kagura said calmly. "This is Yukio, Naraku's son."
Yukio stepped forward. He looked just like Naraku, minus the blue eyeliner, and a lot less girly. "When Naraku died, he left a little something behind to make sure he was never forgotten. Once he died, Kagura followed his last instructions, and I was created to follow in his footsteps, and recover the Shikon Jewel so he can be reborn."
"That still doesn't tell us why you captured us!" Naj shouted.
Yukio laughed menacingly. "Inuyasha was the only one who could defeat my father. By capturing you, I will have lured his daughter here. After Inuyasha finds out she is here, he will come and I will be able to destroy them both! No one will defeat me!"
"Damn it! Where'd Kagura take them?" Inume shouted, still stuck at the river. "I should probably go back to the camp, and start over from there," she sighed.
Back at the camp, Inume grabbed Naj's sword and Era's fans to get the scent strong in her nose.
She again followed the trail to the river, and this time she detected a faint scent of her two companions. Almost smiling, she quickly followed the trail and raced to find them.
The scents lead her to a strange, dark, cavern. The stench of Naraku filled the place. Inume could detect Naj and Eras' scents over Naraku's, but just barely.
Their scents lead her into another dark room where their scents were strongest. "Naj, Era." Inume whispered. "Naj, Era, are you two here? It's me, Inume."
"Inume, get out of here! It's a trap!" Naj warned. "It's Naraku's son! He captured us to lure you here! He's going to kill-"
"Too late," Kagura said coolly. She used her 'Dance of Blades,' catching Inume off guard, and throwing her against the wall. Pieces of rubble fell down on top of her.
Inume brushed the dust and rocks off, and quickly jumped back up into a fighting stance. She looked around and saw an unfamiliar boy, Yukio. "You must be Naraku's son."
"Correct," he said. "Now, fall victim to my great power!"
Inume charged towards him, her claws unsheathed, but she couldn't move! Her vision started going blurry, and she couldn't speak. Then, everything went black.
"Inume!" Naj and Era called. They fought against the steel chains, but they couldn't move either. The could only sit and watch as Yukio made a small cut across Inume's cheekbone, collected a single drop of blood in a vile, and handed it to Kagura.
"Take this to Inuyasha. Tell him that we have his daughter, and then come straight back here. Do nothing more." he said. He turned and walked away into the darkness.
"Damn," Kagura thought, "first I work for Naraku, and now for his son. What the hell happened to my freedom?"
Kagura soon reached the village she had always known Inuyasha to stay at. She soon saw a flash a red, and quickly dodged an attack from Inuyasha. He landed on the ground and prepared to fight.
"Kagura!" he screamed up to her. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I have a gift from someone," she coolly answered. Kagura threw down the bottle with Inume's blood in it. Inuyasha caught it and immediately knew whose blood this was
"Inume…" he whispered. He looked to where Kagura had been and saw she had left.
"I'll come get you, my daughter."
