Hey guys! I really didn't want to begin this fiction until my exams were done but I couldn't help it. Several things ran over my head that I just couldn't ignore it. So I wrote this chapter. Rated M for violence, blood and gore.
Disclaimer:I do not own or profit from any Intellectual Properties belonging to Rumiko Takahashi, Shogakukan, Sunrise or Viz Media especially InuYasha.
A boy with white hair and two dog ears ran through the lanes of a small town at the outskirts of Kyoto. He ran for his life as several humans came looking for him. He had a small tube on his hands as he took several lanes turning and ignoring every human that came looking for him.
At that moment three men appeared in front of him.
"He's here." They yelled.
Immediately they started firing their guns at the boy. The boy ignoring the wounds inflicted on his body dashed forward, jumped and immediately kicked one of the men in the head. Then he went towards another man and kicked him in the leg then slamming him on the ground with his fist over his gut. He then dashed forward again and knocked the last person unconscious.
Then he began running again. But suddenly a man appeared and grabbed him from the side. Then man then pressed his arm on the neck of the boy causing him to suffocate. The boy fought back with punches which were strangely painful considering his size. The man now exhausted, lost his grip on the boy. The boy still not able to get out from his grip pushed back and slammed his back on the nearby wall. The man completely lost his grip and the next moment the boy grabbed the man's arm and threw him towards the trash can that was nearby. The man slammed with great amount of force and great amount of pain.
The boy then put his hand over his body looking at the wounds inflicted by the bullets.
"What are you trying to do?" The big man asked.
"Like you would understand my reason's. Try being hated by everyone and ask that question again." He replied.
"There he is." A voice from behind him came again and gunshots were heard again.
The boy then began running again. He ran and ran ignoring every man in that town that was after him and inflicting every bullet. Finally, he reached a train station and he hid behind the passenger stand. He was extremely tired and he had to get away. He then looked at the tube in his hand. It had some sort of pink liquid.
"I hope this worth all the trouble." He said to himself.
"INUYASHA" A woman's voice came out of nowhere.
The boy immediately turned around only to hear a loud bang. The next moment a bullet pierced through his chest into his heart. Unable to take the pain he fell down kneeling on his arms. He looked up towards the woman who attacked him. She was wearing a purple kimono and she had a sniper rifle in her hand.
"Kikyo, I thought…." He spoke up trying hard to finish a sentence.
"SHUT UP" she yelled and she shot him in the head.
InuYasha opened his eyes as he heard the beeping sound of his stopwatch. He held up his arms to look at the watch displaying the time 6:00 AM. He was sitting on top of a 10 storied building looking down at the ground from the top.
"It's about time." He said to himself.
He then stood up and looked around the ruined city of Osaka. Then at a distance he saw a few police sirens wailing in a distance. A few moments later a car ran through the street besides the building where InuYasha was standing.
"There's my cue." He said to himself.
Then taking a deep breath he jumped from the building and clinging on to the wall of the other building he slowly slid down. Then when he was about to lose his grip he jumped back to the wall of another building.
Jumping back and forth he finally made it to the ground. There above the trash can was a package. He went forward and picked it up.
"Well, I have been waiting for you." He said to the package.
He opened it up and found a small key, a card and a bracelet.
He put away the key and the card on his pocket and he wore the bracelet.
Suddenly a visor appeared in front of his eyes and a computer voice began speaking.
"Please stand by, retinal scanning underway." It spoke up.
Then it drew a blue line along the screen and slid it down wards.
"Scanning complete, person's name InuYasha Igurashi. Welcome, you have a message." It spoke up.
The visor then began playing an audio log.
"Hey, kid. You did a great job with that package you delivered to us. As a payment you got yourself that key which I called it Kusunagi, as for that card put it in your computer slot. I know you will be happy to find out what it is. Now listen carefully kid. The militias have been on the move recently. So we are planning on moving away from this place as soon as possible. So there will be no contact between you or any of us. You too should move away, considering your body anatomy I know they will capture and execute you with no second thought. That reason alone I decided to give you Kusunagi since the roads are blocked and those militias would probably be in that city for extermination in about two days. Plus, there have been a report that rebels from our sister wing is going to show up at Kyoto. So meet up with them from now onwards they will give you jobs. Remember they are the first rebel group and we are just monitoring this area for them. However you only have two days, so act quick. Also, watch out for the cops and militia. They are on the highway leading to Kyoto so ignore that way. And don't even think about taking the tunnels or wastelands. I don't want you to get eaten up by the Kamikazes or get stomped by the Kyojins. Well, that's it kid. You served us well for the past year, well since we found you all lost and bruised back at Yamaguchi. I know you don't remember anything and you are willing to find out what happened in those past 50 years but in my opinion, some things are best unknown and I also apologize for the rude hatred you had to face within our group for being a half-human. But you became one of the best rebels in our group. So take this move as your promotion. Until then we will hope to meet again kid, good bye. Oh, and before I go I would like to remind you this time not to throw away that bracelet like last time. It is your second key to Kusunagi. So enough now and good bye kid and take care of those puppy ears, will you? BYE"
"This message will get deleted in 5 seconds." The voice spoke up.
"Well, we'll meet again." InuYasha said as he swiped the light bar on his bracelet.
He then looked around and picked out a small tablet out of his bag. Then he inserted the card on a slot.
A popup box appeared on the screen.
Establishing link…Link established.
Connecting to server…Connection established.
Verifying Code…Code Verified.
Transferring transaction…Done.
Amount transferred:
2,000,000,000,000,000
"I always wonder from where did that fool ever got this much money." InuYasha said to himself as he put his tablet away.
He pulled out the key and he surveyed it after which he found a button.
"Now let's see what it is." He said to himself as he pressed the button.
InuYasha couldn't believe his eyes. Suddenly a light shot out from the key and into the ground. Next moment a bike lay in front of him. It was a light blue bike with dark stripes and dark blue highlight's.
"Well, you read my mind." He said.
Then he went forward and looked at the bike. At the back side there was written KUSUNAGI-032514. This bike would never get destroyed. If any serious damage was caused to it or if it got destroyed then it would revert back to the key for repairing. However it had a repair period which its speed depends on the damage and during this stage you couldn't pull out the bike to use it.
He immediately sat on it. However it was strange to notice that it did not have any HUD. There was only a keyhole. InuYasha in a confused manner inserted the keyhole. Then immediately a visor appeared in front of him. It was the bikes HUD. He looked around and realized it was projected in front of his eye and only he could see it. He finally understood the cause of that bracelet. He looked at it and saw that the light bar was bright red and the key had a blue light. He grabbed the handle and the color of the bracelet changed to blue. He pulled his hands away and it turned red. He finally ignited the engine and the bracelet turned green. Now he understood, without the bracelet near, the bike wouldn't even start.
InuYasha starting the bike revved it a few times enjoying the sound.
"Ahh, that sound 500rpm, 6000mph, 400 horsepower, this is cool." He said to himself.
Finally without waiting another second he rode through the streets of Osaka.
Osaka was already in ruins. The city was under extermination after it became one the cities that was badly affected by the outbreak. This was the very first city to be cleaned of the Kamikazes. That day was a nightmare. A lot of soldiers were killed but somehow it was cleaned. However the city was abandoned due to the fact that people were scared that there may be even some Kamikazes remaining. The city was almost lifeless. Nobody lived there anymore. There were smashed windows, building with holes, vegetation conquering over the urban buildings, rotten corpses, remaining bones, dried blood, it was really lifeless. Until, a group of rebels settled here. Why? He didn't know. For some reason they settled in this man grave and that's it.
InuYasha finally reached his room in an abandoned building rigged with enhancements making up for the damage that was caused by the outbreak and extermination. He pulled his bike inside his key and went upstairs. He then began making his route through towards Kyoto. He knew he couldn't go through the highway because the militia and the cops were totally blocking the area. He knew he couldn't take the tunnels because they were sealed and they were filled with the Kamikaze's. Finally marking his track he began preparing for his travel. He had to get out that night since he really had act fast if he ever needed to get there on time. He also checked his meeting spot and refuge destination.
Finally, packing everything up, he checked on his time. It read 6:00 PM. The day went by really fast and he never realized it. He ate his food and assembled his bag. Then he only waited for 9:00 PM by looking out at the fallen Osaka. There in a distance lay Tsutenkaku tower. Somehow in all this madness that tower survived. It felt kinda strange.
He looked at the date. It was March 19, 2064. Japan was taking drastic measures to protect itself from the outbreak. On this exact day 50 years ago he remembered a woman putting a hole in his head. Now he was returning back to where he got shot in the first place.
After he was shot everything became black and the next thing he found himself was in a slum in wearing some sort of a surgery patient's suit and fresh stitches and scars all over his body with blood coming out. At that time he remembered nothing and was scared to his wits at how much the world had changed.
Finally, it was 9:00PM and he packed up and was about to go when a sound of a truck stopped in front of the building. He slowly looked down and saw the militia preparing to enter the building. How on earth did they find him here? They were supposed to have come a day or two later. But now there was no time to think about that. He had to go. There was no waiting. Immediately grabbing his bags he ran down the building.
Down in front of the main door, the soldiers were getting ready to breach the building.
"Listen up men, our target is a man with a white hair and two dog ears. Remember, do not execute or engage with the target if possible and do not feel awed by the cuteness of his ears. He is an escaped prisoner from sector-DMWL and so far the only one. He can be extremely dangerous and is expected to go berserk. But whatever may be the case do not execute the target. We are told that we need him alive. UNDERSTAND?" One of the men spoke up.
"Yes, sir." All of the men yelled in union.
"All right then be on your positions." He yelled again.
They all took their positions at the either sides of the door. Then one of the soldiers came in front of the door and was about to kick it.
However, at that moment they heard a sound from inside and the nest moment the door ripped open apart. The next moment a bike flew through the destroyed entrance and landed on the front soldiers who was about to kick the door open.
The bike slid along the lane dragging the soldier under the bike and leaving a long trail of blood. The rest of the soldiers relapsing from their confused state began firing at InuYasha who was indeed their target.
But it was too late as their target had already gotten ahold of itself and ran off into the darkness leaving a big trace of blood and the body of a soldier whose head was now a crushed red cake.
"Damnit, get back to the vehicle. We need to get him by any ways necessary. WE CAN'T LOSE HIM" the leader yelled.
All of the soldiers immediately got on their vehicles and chased after the boy in the bike.
With no other option available InuYasha rode through Soemoncho lane in Minami. He was planning on exiting from the Midosuji Boulevard but now that place was filled with army trucks. How did he know? Well a map also appeared on his visor pointing out everything. Well that way he able to ignore a lot of hassle.
But there were some things even he couldn't ignore. A few moments later, a red bar appeared in front at the end of the lane in the map. It was a road block.
InuYasha had no other way to go around. There was nothing he could do. He was caught.
But at that moment the something showed up in the visor.
Enemy road block ahead, please choose your action.
a. Evasion b. Elimination
"Evasion" InuYasha yelled in hesitation.
Then he suddenly started feeling strange. There were streaks of light shooting out of his body and a feeling of zooming forward and the next moment, he was past the road block. Then again something showed up on his visor.
Evasion status… recharging.
Elimination… Feature Inactive.
InuYasha looked back at the confused soldiers and smirked.
"Now, that's awesome." He yelled.
But then he realized that the bike was leading him towards the highway. Damn! Why did this have to happen? This was the waypoint he wished to greatly avoid. But there was no other way. The wrecked city was now probably filled with Militia running all over the place. There was no way he could get out the other way. He had to take this route. But now he was expecting to face some roadblocks. Then there came some cars from behind not giving up for the pursuit.
Now it was getting really annoying. At that moment he realized that thy trying to trap him. There was really a road block now. They were trying to trap him.
"Surrender now, or else be fired upon." A voice came from cars behind him.
"Like hell I would." InuYasha yelled.
A few moments later the road block appeared, but it wasn't any roadblock. They were set with hard concrete blocks. They really did come prepared. However at that moment the visor showed another message again.
Evasion status… recharging.
Elimination status… Released.
Elimination selected.
Locking target… Target Locked.
Several blue circles locked up on the road block in front of him in the visor. Then InuYasha felt something in his finger pop up. It was some sort of a trigger. Was it related with elimination? It maybe but there was only one way to find out.
With a deep breath he pulled the trigger. Then moments later all objects blocking the road exploded. Vehicles, concrete blocks hell even the soldiers who were expecting the boy, exploded into nothing but red pools of blood. Then something more appeared on the screen.
Target hit….. positive.
Status:
Evasion….. Recharging.
Elimination… Recharging
The road was now clear. This was his escape. He finally cleared the road. Without wasting another second InuYasha zoomed through the fire and pools of blood and into the darkness. He was final safe.
The militia on the other hand damned the escape of their target.
"WHAT, HE ESCAPED?" the leader yelled at one of the soldiers. "I GAVE YOU ONE JOB AND YOU BLEW IT?"
"We're sorry sir. We were certain that we were going to catch him but all of a sudden the roadblock exploded." The soldier tried reason.
"DAMN THAT FOOL. It is possible that he is riding a modded bike." Leader said to himself.
"Okay everyone we got to go after him. It is likely he is not far away." The leader commanded others.
At that moment a huge explosion was seen in a distance.
InuYasha rode through the darkness. That was a really close call. But how on earth did his boss have such an awesome bike. But more than that how come he managed to modify it? But hell, right now he was riding it and that was enough.
He rode in the darkness with nothing but the headlights on. Noticing that the threat was probably over and the highway would still be deserted for the next mile. He never realized he would be so wrong.
He was taking a turn when suddenly out of the darkness a girl appeared in front of the vision. InuYasha immediately panicked and tried to avoid the girl by sliding the bike and gripping the brakes hard. He was about to collide with the girl when suddenly she immediately raised her hand and the next moment InuYasha's bike exploded throwing him violently a little farther.
InuYasha landing with great pain looked at the girl. There was his bike burning behind the shadow of the girl. At that moment he could only see her back. But slowly she turned around. InuYasha was shocked to see the girl's face. This couldn't be. She couldn't be this young. There was no way.
"Kikyo?" InuYasha spoke up in great surprise and in great pain from the crash.
But no, something told him she wasn't Kikyo. Her eyes were different and they seemed extremely disturbed. Her face indicated the expression of fear. She was terrified out of her wits. It seemed she really did not mean to do this.
She was wearing some sort of surgery suit and a bandage over her forehead. Wait, it was the same clothes InuYasha wore when he was found at Yamaguchi. Could this girl hold the secret of the place he could have been those 50 years?
But InuYasha couldn't think straight. He was in extreme pain and he was close to passing out.
At that moment a voice spoke up.
"Hold it."
It was the militia. They had seen the explosion from far away and managed to appear just in time. The leader then appeared and approached the girl while continuing his words.
"Hold it girl or we will have to shoot you on sight. Put your hands up in the air."
The girl slowly pulled up her hands up in the air as she told. But at that moment something really terrible happened.
The leader was suddenly ripped apart by the torso and the next moment half of his body dropped on the floor leaving a trail of bold and his intestines sticking out. The girl suddenly became even more terrified as she covered her mouth with her hands. The soldiers stared at the girl in horror. What on earth did just happen? How come the leader suddenly got ripped apart? What is this girl?
InuYasha also stared at the girl in horror. The next moment one of the soldiers yelled.
"Hey! That is another prisoner from sector-DMWL. We have got orders to fire now."
The soldiers readied their guns and were about to fire when the girl dropped on her knees and she clutched her head very tightly. The soldiers began firing but at that moment the girl gave a loud scream. The next moment cars flew and exploded. The bodies of soldiers were ripped to shreds and blood splattering all over the now ruined highway. Then pieces of soil and scraps of metal began to rise slowly from the ground.
InuYasha witnessed the barbaric act in horror as the girl finally silenced and every object that were flying suddenly dropped down. The girl slowly turned towards InuYasha and slowly approached him.
He was dead now. Why did he have to choose this way? Why? He wanted to find the truth about his missing memory. He didn't want to die like this. Nobody wishes to die like this. He immediately closed his eyes and wished for the worst to pass.
But at that moment he heard something.
"Help me."
InuYasha looked up at the girls face and saw the face filled with fear, shock and pain. Tears were coming down her cheeks as her eyes were watered with tears.
"Help me, please." She pleaded again in a low voice.
InuYasha's vision was fading. He was losing a lot of blood. He had never been injured this badly before.
"Who are you?" InuYasha asked as he started to faint.
The only words he could hear were…
"I AM KA-GO-ME"
