Title: Bad Apple!
M first Inuyasha fanfic story... and my first story that involves an OC. WARNINGS for Bad grammer, spellings and the stuff... swearing.
Ch1. Just a Start
The night was cold, dark and moonless and was only to get worst as blackening storm clouds brewed and thundered into the silent night promising a great storm. Already lightning began its burst and flashes of light, followed by the booms of thunder.
But no matter how horrible the night was to be, it never stopped the young demoness from running for her life. She was cloaked in black, covering her small form as she ran throughout the night and through the dark forest. Just barely a mile from her were three demons chasing after her and gaining ground. Even a human could tell they were royal guards obviously chasing after their charge. They were tall and strong and well-muscled, dressed with black with red designs of a powerful clan, in their hands were long swords of shining silver metal, cutting their way through the forest. They continued their chase after their charge, not bothered by the now pouring rain. It couldn't be said for the one they followed with gaining speed.
The young royal run-away was now drenched in rain, her clothes and cloak adding weight to her as they heaved with rain. Her body was beginning to sore from the hard running she had been doing for two days and now-on-to three nights straight. She had to get away!
She panted hard and fast, her breathing becoming painful and difficult.
Knowing that her pursuers were gaining on her, she fled into a small village looking for a good hiding place while hiding her scent. Not finding any, she searched frantically. Her heart was thudding from the running and the fear of getting caught.
Rustling from the edge of the forest gained her attention. The young princesses spun around with a gasp as she saw her royal bodyguards appear and were looking intently straightly at her. The tallest- the leader- came towards her cautiously with one step forward, the other two crouching, ready to sprint once again and capture their charge when needed.
Speaking softly to their royal charge, the leader pleaded, "My lady, please! We mustn't waste time on this chase. The honorable lord you are to marry wants you at his palace as soon as possible! These are dark times and he wishes to insure your safety!"
The young girl growled in warning as the leader took another step forward, her body tense as the guards came closer to her.
"Never!" She growled, "I will not go to that man's palace!"
"But my lady-!" Just then, the cloaked demoness sprinted with great speed off to her left, issuing the chase once again.
The guards were only just ten feet away from her, and, again, gaining on her. With desperate hope, she shot magic fire from her hands. The fire was blue and white, and searing with heat, making a long and tall wall between her and the guards. The guards cried out, halting to stop and covering their faces by instinct from the surprise attack heat.
The flames were too dangerous to go through, the blue and white flames licked around them. If they were to jump through them they would damage their body beyond repair and wouldn't help them in their chase for the young princess.
Already, the village around them starting bursting into life as people came running out of their houses to see what was happening. The demoness stiffened when she felt the power of a hanyou and a priestess and priest close at hand.
A shift in the air around her led her to a strange dark well. Looking back towards her guards and seeing them still distracted by the fire, she jumped into the well starting to hide her scent with a complexes magic spell only her family could do but faltered when she continued her fall and the air around her changed.
She became surrounded by a purple-pink light, her body seeming to float and fall at the same time in the strange void. Soon, her feet thudded against the ground of the well.
Something was wrong with this air. It was too different, too murky and cloudy. Her body beginning to shut down, she used the last of her energy to jump out of the well only to find herself in a shed of some sort surrounded in darkness. Only able to make one tired step, she fell to the ground as darkness and sleep overcame her.
-BAD APPLE!-
It was early morning the next day. Kagome was busily getting all her things ready for her long journey that waited for her on the other side of the Bone Eater's Well. Noticing a shard missing, she began to panic.
'Maybe it fell when I stepped out of the well?' she thought. While she pondered, her younger brother Souta came down the stairs about to head outside.
"Ah, Souta!" Kagome called out to her younger brother.
Pausing just as he was about to step out the door, he looked over at his sister questionably. "Yes?"
"Can you check by the well for a crystal shard for me please? I think I dropped one there."
Sighing, Souta replied, "Fine."
Souta began walking towards the shed where the well was located. He didn't like the shed much for it was always so dark in there. The sun was up and high, giving off its bright light undisturbed by clouds for no cloud could be located in the vast sea of baby blue in the air. Opening the shed door and letting the light shine onto the well. But, it wasn't just the well it revealed but also a girl laying unconscious on the dusty wooden floor. Eyes wide, Souta cried out...
"Kagome!"
Startled, Kagome and her grandfather and mother came running out the house to the shed were they could see Souta frozen in shock. Then they saw him rush in.
Thinking it was probably Inuyasha causing trouble or possibly hurt, Kagome reached the shed before the others, worry written all over her face. What she saw inside wasn't what she expected.
Inside, a dark cloaked figure lay unconscious on the dirt covered ground. The cloak's hood hid the beings face. Kagome gasped when she saw the shards aura covering the stranger.
Souta kneeled next to the figure, his hands hovering over the figure unsure where to touch fearing he may hurt the individual. Calmly, Kagome went next to the figure and began to notice the unusual budges underneath the cloak. Grasping the cloak, which was thick and damp with a liquid of some sort, she pulled the cloak roughly and quickly off the strange figure. She gasped. There laid a demoness of strange beauty and features.
The girl had long black hair that waved and must have gone past her knees. Her skin was a white cream color, slightly glowing in the dark, her cheeks held and pink rosy color, her lips a soft full pink of a rose, slightly moist. Her eye lashes were as black as her hair, thick and fluttered slightly from the light. She wore a silk kimono of many layers with gold, green and blue etchings of blooming flowers. What caught her eye the most wasn't her goddess angel-like beauty, but her demonic features. She showed no obvious demon tattoos other than three black whisker-like marks that were thin on each cheek and a black-purple creasent that hung upside down (like sailor moons) but large white fox ears where her human ears should have been, like snow on charcoal. Near her rear where long, thick tails of snow white as her ears. If she counted correctly there were nine of them, almost if not bigger than herself that lay limp around her.
"Demon!" screamed her grandfather, pointing down at the sleeping girl.
This woke the fox demoness whose eyes shot open. The girl yelped and with create speed, slammed herself backward into a corner, her hands and back pressed against the wooden wall, as if attempting to go through the wood like a ghost.
Her eyes were a violet color, glistening with panic as she looked at the humans. Her ears flattened against her head, and her tails wrapped around her as if to shield herself from any harm directed at her. The Kitsune looked to be just an inch or two shorter than Kagome, and looked rather vulnerable which seemed odd to Kagome.
This was probably a powerful demoness who could take them all out with a swipe of her hand! Yet, she looked scared and appeared to be at their mercy. And Kagome's grandfather was only making it worst
"Be gone you Kyuubi no Kitsune!" cried out the old man, throwing a non-working seal at the poor demoness.
Kagome quickly caught the seal as it left the old man's hand. "Grandfather! They don't work and plus, look at her! She's weak and scared! Don't make it worst!"
Kagome felt as if she could trust this demoness. The demoness seemed friendly since she sent no harm towards them as of yet. Plus, the air around the Kitsune seemed pure, warm and friendly. "What's your name?" Kagome asked sweetly to the panicked fox demoness.
"Miyuki," Miyuki said softly, a twinge of fear in her words.
"How'd you get her, Miyuki-san?" Kagome was curious. She thought only beings with the shards of the Shikon no Tama, but then again, she sees the aura of them on her.
"I was being chased," Miyuki said, slowly sitting on her knees, her tails still protecting her, but now swishing about like wind. "I saw the well and jumped in to hide myself and scent from my pursuers." The demoness then had a spark of panic in her eyes. "Please don't me back in there!" Miyuki cried out, her voice sweet and childish, "My pursuers will take me to that dreaded place that I wish not to go! Please! I'll do anything!" she begged, tears starting to blossom on the edges of her violet eyes.
To Kagome, her mother and Souta, it was those images of cuteness that'd see in those anime and cartoons when the girl begged and the air around them went pink or yellow with glitter. But take that out of their head, this was real! A demoness was begging for them not to send her in that well back to the Federal Era.
Souta exclaimed, "Why don't you want to go back?"
"Because," Miyuki started, tears threatening to fall, "Because I'm being forced to marry the demon Lord Sesshomaru!"
Reviews would be nice, helps motivate. Anyway, what'd you think? Rather short beginning, the next chapter might be shorter, I started the 3rd chapter and it's pretty long... I think.
