Inuyasha: Fate's Course and Forbidden Love
Chapter One Rendezvous
" Life is pretty much like a story. It contains chapters and turns of events depending on the actions of the author." Unknown.
It was early evening on a cool autumn day. The scenery of the forest was beautiful, pretty typical in that time of the year. The dusky skies produced a lovely shade of scarlet over the canopy of forest trees ( A few of them which were evergreen). Ah.it was all too peaceful of an environment. Until.
"Damn it, Miroku! You're shittin' me."
"I shit you not, my friend."
"Yeah right. You're shitting me like a fat demon who got the run-offs."
Inuyasha was indignant because he was rudely awaken out of his little nap by Miroku to have a little "meeting" with two young women. They both were pacing their way through the dense body of forest. Shortly, Miroku came upon a tree and leaned on it. ""This is the spot where we supposed to meet."
"Let's just hope that this is not a waste of time Miroku." Growled Inuyasha as he sat on a rather wide tree stump.
" I assure you Inuyasha, this will not be a waste of time. You will soon find out that your patience and participation rewarding." Miroku stated.
" Yeah not to you, monk!" The hanyou spat. " Besides I'm not interested in this so called hook-up."
Miroku couldn't help but grin at his comrade's remark.
"Whatever." He nodded and looked over the horizon. He'd always admired the scenery of the evening skies. Then he caught the scent of two humans.
" Well they're here." He muttered dubiously. " We're gonna be dissed."
" It's game time."
' There goes the monk.'
Inuyasha remained on the stump, uninterested. He'd probably had better to do right now. Like sleeping, or heading for the bourg to look for a job. Miroku on the other hand was ecstatic. A rather lecherous grin formed on his face. Recently he met a young women who resides in an all women's village not too far away from the forest and got acquainted with her. They planned to meet each other once again and agreed to introduce their friends.
" Oh there you are, Miroku-kun!"
" Chizaki it's a pleasure meeting you again my dear."
" Yes. The pleasure's all mine." The girl replied. She talks with a Kansai accent, the glaring swing in her voice was the confirmation.
Inuyaha scoffed and rolled his eyes at Miroku. Fortunately, he didn't noticed. ' Look at him! All over the girl. Fuckin' panty sniffing lech.'
The young woman named Chizaki is indeed an attractive one. Having a fairly tall and slender form, with a small round face, and dark brown hair tied up in a chignon. Innocent large brown eyes complimented with long lashes confirmed that she's in her mid to late teens. Her reddish tan complexion seems to match with her blossom pink kimono she wore.
However the other girl has yet to be identified because she was nowhere in sight's range.
"So I see that you did showed up, Miroku-kun. And here I thought I was going to be mislead." She starts to look about. "Oh by the way, where is your friend?"
"Oh he's over there." The monk pointed. " Careful because he's a feisty one because he woked up on the wrong side of the bed. Pretty much a bad day for him I'll say."
"Bad day my ass!" Inuyaha barked. " We could be in the bourg right about now you know."
Miroku slapped his forehead in embarrassment. Why does he have to act a fool like that? Especially at a time like this. In the end his hostility may just frighten the girls instead of comforting them. Chizaki couldn't help but laugh. . "Poor baby."
" Who you're calling a baby!?" Demanded Inuyasha. Growling like a rabid wolverine.
Chizaki kept that innocent unnerved smiled. "It's time to tame the beast. You should meet my friend. You guys are perfect for each other. I'm absolutely certain that she will brighten your day." She paused and searches the scenery for the aforementioned girl. " Just a sec."
She signaled the mystery girl from afar to introduce herself to them. It wasn't because the girl was nervous or timid. She grown in the habit of being dramatic. And if that wasn't enough the wind sped picked up and the leaves began to flow in the wind along with the rustle of trees. Inuyasha's ears twitched as he caught her redolent scent.
Curiously, the hanyou stood up from the stump as she dawned in closer.
" Well I see that we finally caught your attention, Inuyasha." Miroku confirmed.
That little moment seemed to last forever. Which unconsciously irritated Inuyahsa, to a point that he grinded his teeth. But as the mystery girl finally came into his view , he instantly noticed something about her.
The girl was really something to look at! Even he had to admit that.
He suddenly had a feeling as if he seen her before. Go figure.
She was slightly taller than Chizaki, bearing a slender and shapely figure. Long ebon hair, shoulder length and reaching her narrow waist; coffee coloured eyes sparkled brilliantly on her pale round face. She wore a kimono much like her friend, only midnight blue.
' Damn! Look what we got here?' Inuyasha thought. His bad mood instantly fading away.
Miroku noticed the expression on Inuyahsa's face. He couldn't blame him. He mentally cursed himself at his luck. What if he came here without Inuyasha? What possibilities.
The young woman bowed and gave a bright smile.
"How do you do?" She said finally. Inuyahsa shuddered. Her soft dulcet voice was music to his ears. It was a teenage girl's voice but it's intensity was that of a wise and mature young woman.
"Oh shit... you're,- I mean we're fine." Stammered Inuyahsa.
"Well I guess we'll leave you two alone while we get to know one another." Chizaki considered.
" Yes I agree." Said Miroku. Satisfied that everything was going well for both of them. With that he followed Chizaki to walk down the forest.
Inuyasha blushed and scratched his right ear. "Umm...let's have a seat." He suggested pointing at the stump behind him. Slowly they both sat on the stump. His thoughts began tangling up all at once in his head. 'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!' He caught a glimpse of her legs at the split of the lower left side of her kimono..
'Damn it! That's way too much woman for me!'
Despite her petite frame it was his hormones that was passing judgement.
The girl strolled closer to him. Looking at him with mild interest. Tugging at his silver hair. He usually became irritated at that when women do that but let it slide this time.
"Hmm. Silver hair." She complimented. " Unusual but lovely. The ears are cool too." Her eyes directed to Inuyasha's dog ears. " What's your name?"
"Inuyahsa."
"Inuyasha." She cooed. " I presume that there are good demons in this world."
Inuyasha suddenly found himself cracking with laughter. " Good demons?" 'Wait a minute. She's making me laugh. Who is this girl?'
"I am not what you would exactly call a good demon."
"Well you certainly are cute." She acknowledged. "Then again, looks can be deceiving."
"That's nothing new."
Though the young woman did struck a chord within him, he simply shrugged. He then noticed the raven haired beauty suddenly stood up abruptly and bowed.
Damn was she good at first impressions.
"Sorry to be rude Inuyasha. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kagome."
'Kagome.'
'I never met her before but why am I all too familiar with her?'
Inuyasha was transfixed on thoughts about the girl now know to him as Kagome. Was it déjà vu? Or was it just plain love at first sight? The result was a look of bemusement on his features.
"Are you okay?" Kagome asked noticing his mental struggle. Feeling somewhat concerned with him. "Who? Me? I'm fine." Inuyasha answered sheepishly.
"You're not on the slow side are you?" She chuckled.
"Hey you got jokes. I like that." He laughed. " I got one for you Kagome. Why do shoemakers go to heaven when they pass away?"
"Because they have good soles." Sighed Kagome shooting the joke down in flames.
" Damn, so you heard that one before?" Muttered Inuyasha.
"Yeah a girl back at the village told me that one about a couple of months ago. It's pretty stale now that you said it."
"Well how about this; what do you have when you cross an elephant with a rhino?"
"Hmm.a rhinolophant?"
"Iye."
"An eleno?"
"Nope, try again."
Kagome pouted. "I give up. What is it then?"
" Hell if I know."
SATIRICAL DRUM ROLL
Kagome suddenly burst into laughter. "Elephino! That's a good one. You're so crazy Inuyasha." She tapped his shoulder.
"Serves you right for thinking I'm slow."
"Aww I'm sooo sorry, dog boy" Giggled Kagome as she pinched his jaw. " Hey cut it out! Oww!"
"Wow I never thought that I ever meet a cute, mild mannered hanyou like you,Inuyasha." Kagome said steadily.
Inuyasha was shocked. "How'd you know that I'm a hanyou?"
"Hanyous bear human emotions and are gentle buy nature considering that few of them are like that." She explained. ' If only Yoriko-sama and the others can see you. Yoriko-sama forbids communicating with youkai, including hanyous as well. She told us demons and anything that part demons are odius and virulent."
" You mean that there's more of you?"
"What's that supposed to mean, silly?" She demanded and jabbed him on his shoulder. It was a playful gesture but he had to admit that the girl's tiny knuckles' has a fair sting.
"Well you're awfully pretty and all. And I was wondering are your sisters like you?" Inuyasha stated being careful not to ruin the intimate moment.
Kagome smiled." Thank you, Inuyasha. As a matter of fact I was raised in an all women's village."
"Your friend too?" He asked incredulously.
"Yes, Chizaki and I are maidens of the Valley of Celibacy."
"Interesting. Go on."
"Our home has some many aliases, 'The Blessed Valley', 'The Valley of Chastity, a sisterhood as you may call it.
"Damn."
" To Chizaki, I'm her big sister."
"Yeah foster sisters, your scent aren't the same."
Kagome nodded. She knew the hanyou understood her.
"So the valley you speak of is an all women's society. And if I'm not mistaken you and Chizaki aren't supposed to be here." Inuyasha stated thoughtfully.
"Oh we're allowed freedom from time to time. For the time being." The look on Kagome's face became a stern and serious one. It was almost as if she resents being a native of the said village. Inuyasha then noticed her change of face. "So I guess it is forbidden to communicate with males as well. Am I right?" Inuyasha inquired. If that was the case he wouldn't really wanted to imposed on the poor girl's lifestyle.
Kagome thought about his inquiry before she answered. "Well not really. If any of us were to get married or have children."
" An execution!"
Kagome gave him a burlesque expression because she was interrupted. "No! That person will be dismissed from the valley for the rest of their lives. A sort of a happy or sad ending in some cases. And yes we allow that person to visit from time to time."
"Oh." Another thought came into his mind. " But who would of thought that there would be that many orphans- especially a town full?"
Just as Kagome was about to answer to reply, Chizaki reappeared. Her face beet red in indignation. Kagome stood up to regard her friend. "Chizaki what's wrong?" The younger brown hair girl was really pissed off . Her fist was tightly clenched and she puffed her cheeks from the heat of rage. " This really isn't like you Chizaki. What happened between you and Miroku?"
"Ohhh!" She squealed. " He really REALLY made my day! He's a lecher-- I didn't even saw his hand moved an inch and next thing I knew that it was rubbing up on my booty!"
Inuyasha wasn't surprised. "Let me guess. He asked for you to bear his child?"
"How'd you know?" Her expression softened to a surprised one.
"That's pretty much his ball game." He answered. " He always asked young women to bear his children." With that he burst into a small chuckle.
"Well can the same can be said about you?" Kagome asked forcefully. Becoming suspicious. Inuyasha was actually caught off guard with that one. He really didn't wanted to repel Kagome and earning himself a nasty reputation of being a skirt chaser and leaving behind a legion of children whom was born from forgotten mothers. It really scared him. "Well, Inuyasha?"
"N-no." The hanyou shranked.
"Chizaki!" Said Miroku now returning to her with an embarrassed look. "I'm sorry."
"Miroku." Chizaki sighed. " I think that this friendship of ours is off on a bad start."
"Please forgive me." Miroku pleaded, feigning innocence. Giving her the puppy eyes. Chizaki's expression soften at Miroku's innocent gestures. He surely had won this round. " Okay I'll forgive you Miroku. But you'll have to quit the funny stuff."
Kagome found herself laughing at their little tirade. She was so enjoying this "innocent" humorous moment. Behind her, Inuyasha was staring at her in a rather peculiar manner. She saw this in the corner of her eyes and caught him slipping again.
"It's nice, isn't it?" She asked flirtatiously.
" N-no- - um yes, I mean no." He began blushing furiously.
"It's not?" Kagome asked somewhat disappointed.
"No not that. It's almost like we've met before."
"Huh? It's probably just déjà vu I'm afraid, Inuyasha-kun."
"Yeah I guess so." He dismissed.
Kagome made way toward a close tree and leaned onto it. Looking toward the dusky horizon with a tranquil expression on her face as the wind caressed her hair and creases of her kimono. That particular sight really got him going nuts. There was really something about her that made his thoughts have a field day in his head. For a moment he felt like he was in a blissful dream. By the graces of all that is good he had to think of something to say.
"So Kagome how old are you?" He asked out of the blue.
"Me? I'm eighteen."
"Really? You look a tad younger?"
"Thanks I get that a lot."
"Hmmm. I you be older than I am?"
"Dunno, Inu-kun." She paused. "What's your sign?"
"Libra."
"Sagittarius."
"Ha! I thought you were younger than I am."
"And your point, Dog boy?"
"Feh. Just wanted to confirm something. That's all." He shrugged.
" It's getting late." Said Chizaki as she and Miroku returned. " Yoriko- sama is probably worried about us right about now."
" Yes it is, isn't it? Well Inuyasha it's time for us to take our leave."
"What?" Inuyasha stammered. "Over so soon?" 'Wait a minute. This isn't like me at all.'
Kagome noticed his expression. " So you're not ready for me to leave yet? You're not gonna cry are you?" She asked playfully.
Inuyahsa faked a laugh. "You're funny."
Miroku looked at the two thoughtfully. Especially Inuyasha. So he did actually enjoyed her company. That's highly unlikely of him. Shortly Inuyasha noticed his he was staring at him. "Hey Miroku, what are you starring at?"
"Hmm! Oh! Just lost in thought." He answered recovering from nonplus. "Well Kagome it was indeed nice meeting you too."
"Likewise." Kagome replied sweetly. Chizaki cleared her throat to remind Kagome it was almost after curfew. "Kagome it's time to get a move on." She chided.
Inuyasha raised himself from the stump and dusted his breeches of the dust there. A slight look of displeasure was shown on his face. "When is the next time we'll meet?' He asked indirectly to Kagome.
Puppy love.
" I'm sure it's going to be a while guys." Kagome replied. Inuyasha wonder if it was that kind of while that meant a long period of time, very long.
'Damn by that time I'd probably have forgotten all about you.' He thought dryly.He looked as though he wanted to whimper.
"Well that settles that." Miroku said. "I'm afraid we've held enough of your time. I bid you farewell until we meet again."
"Until then, Miroku."
"Sayonarra, Inuyasha."
"Keh. Later."
Kagome and Chizaki was in the middle of an interesting conversation as they were nearing the village,
Girl talk that is.
" I think Miroku's a pretty cool guy." Chizaki chatted. "But when he mentioned the thing about bearing children that was uncalled for. Plus he lost even more cool points when he groped me."
"Yeah." Kagome replied nonchalantly. Her pace was considerably slower and she lacked the spring in her step she usually had. She was lost in thought.
"It's that Inuyasha cat isn't it?" She stated without looking back at Kagome. However judging from the tone of her voice she seemed amused.
"W-what?" She stammered from nonplus, blushing wildly. Chizaki drew a grin from ear to ear. The infamous grin that gave Alice the creeps by that damn cat. Now it was Kagome who was spooked by that expression. "Chizaki what's with the pearly whites?" She asked slightly alarmed.
"Kagome I know we were raised in some ways like the Amazon but at least we have seen boys before."
Kagome's blush became even brighter. "Well he is pretty cute. The cutest guy I'd ever seen in my eighteen years." ' Damn I said that aloud.'
Chizaki began laughing mercilessly at Kagome's sudden peccavi. "Hey! Talk about puppy love!"
"No. It's not like that." Kagome protested.
Chizaki's smirk became even wider. " He really digs you, girl. Did you saw the way how he was looking at you when you were walking away? Doggy boy was really feeling that sway of your hips." Kagome loosened her obi of her kimono to hide her curves as her companion fell out with laughter. " Chizaki you're embarrassing me!" Kagome chided. 'Could he really? This kimono really did brought me out.'
The girl was still laughing furiously at Kagome. She had to think of a smart reply to take the load off her back. And when she did Chizaki's laughter ceased tragically.
"Well Miroku felt like busting loose. He just couldn't wait to get down and dirty with you." She retaliated.
Chizaki was shock to hear her say that but calm down afterwards. "Okay, okay, I'll chill."
Kagome had won that round. She made a victory sign. Chizaki huffed and continued on their trek towards the village.
" Inuyasha I see that you're quite taken with Kagome." Miroku stated.
The silver hair being stopped in his tracks. " Yeah I suppose." He responded.
"Puberty perhaps?" Mocked Miroku.
" I'm damn near nineteen, not a twelve year old!" He scolded.
"Just joking. But really I never seen you so interested in. anything for that matter."
" There's really something about here." He mused solemnly.
"Yes. She had a mighty nice figure."
"Yeah that too." Inuyasha hesitated. " It's almost as though I've seen her before. In a dream."
" I've seen many girls in my dreams." Miroku drolled.
Inuyasha frowned at his last remark. " Not those kinds of dreams you crash dummy. It was more like a premonition."
"Whoa! Easy on the ESP buddy."
"Whatever." Snorted Inuyasha. "Anyway the market town is just ahead."
A/N: Yeah that's a good start isn't it. I appreciate reviews if you like it. But tell a fool something when he make any mistakes, okay. If anybody come at me with some drama about this then that person is gonna get served. As for the story, Inuyasha repeatedly recalls seeing Kagome before but this is the first time he'd "actually" met her. More of that will be revealed. And lastly (All y'all Kikyou haters get the hell out the club!), Kikyou will be in this story as well and she will have a relatively large role in it too. Well,I'll see you later.
Disclaimer: You shouldn't be surprised. So there's no need in me saying it so after all it was acknowledge countless times by other authors. So don't trip.

"How'd you know?" Her expression softened to a surprised one.
"That's pretty much his ball game." He answered. " He always asked young women to bear his children." With that he burst into a small chuckle.
"Well can the same can be said about you?" Kagome asked forcefully. Becoming suspicious. Inuyasha was actually caught off guard with that one. He really didn't wanted to repel Kagome and earning himself a nasty reputation of being a skirt chaser and leaving behind a legion of children whom was born from forgotten mothers. It really scared him. "Well, Inuyasha?"
"N-no." The hanyou shranked.
"Chizaki!" Said Miroku now returning to her with an embarrassed look. "I'm sorry."
"Miroku." Chizaki sighed. " I think that this friendship of ours is off on a bad start."
"Please forgive me." Miroku pleaded, feigning innocence. Giving her the puppy eyes. Chizaki's expression soften at Miroku's innocent gestures. He surely had won this round. " Okay I'll forgive you Miroku. But you'll have to quit the funny stuff."
Kagome found herself laughing at their little tirade. She was so enjoying this "innocent" humorous moment. Behind her, Inuyasha was staring at her in a rather peculiar manner. She saw this in the corner of her eyes and caught him slipping again.
"It's nice, isn't it?" She asked flirtatiously.
" N-no- - um yes, I mean no." He began blushing furiously.
"It's not?" Kagome asked somewhat disappointed.
"No not that. It's almost like we've met before."
"Huh? It's probably just déjà vu I'm afraid, Inuyasha-kun."
"Yeah I guess so." He dismissed.
Kagome made way toward a close tree and leaned onto it. Looking toward the dusky horizon with a tranquil expression on her face as the wind caressed her hair and creases of her kimono. That particular sight really got him going nuts. There was really something about her that made his thoughts have a field day in his head. For a moment he felt like he was in a blissful dream. By the graces of all that is good he had to think of something to say.
"So Kagome how old are you?" He asked out of the blue.
"Me? I'm eighteen."
"Really? You look a tad younger?"
"Thanks I get that a lot."
"Hmmm. I you be older than I am?"
"Dunno, Inu-kun." She paused. "What's your sign?"
"Libra."
"Sagittarius."
"Ha! I thought you were younger than I am."
"And your point, Dog boy?"
"Feh. Just wanted to confirm something. That's all." He shrugged.
" It's getting late." Said Chizaki as she and Miroku returned. " Yoriko- sama is probably worried about us right about now."
" Yes it is, isn't it? Well Inuyasha it's time for us to take our leave."
"What?" Inuyasha stammered. "Over so soon?" 'Wait a minute. This isn't like me at all.'
Kagome noticed his expression. " So you're not ready for me to leave yet? You're not gonna cry are you?" She asked playfully.
Inuyahsa faked a laugh. "You're funny."
Miroku looked at the two thoughtfully. Especially Inuyasha. So he did actually enjoyed her company. That's highly unlikely of him. Shortly Inuyasha noticed his he was staring at him. "Hey Miroku, what are you starring at?"
"Hmm! Oh! Just lost in thought." He answered recovering from nonplus. "Well Kagome it was indeed nice meeting you too."
"Likewise." Kagome replied sweetly. Chizaki cleared her throat to remind Kagome it was almost after curfew. "Kagome it's time to get a move on." She chided.
Inuyasha raised himself from the stump and dusted his breeches of the dust there. A slight look of displeasure was shown on his face. "When is the next time we'll meet?' He asked indirectly to Kagome.
Puppy love.
" I'm sure it's going to be a while guys." Kagome replied. Inuyasha wonder if it was that kind of while that meant a long period of time, very long.
'Damn by that time I'd probably have forgotten all about you.' He thought dryly.He looked as though he wanted to whimper.
"Well that settles that." Miroku said. "I'm afraid we've held enough of your time. I bid you farewell until we meet again."
"Until then, Miroku."
"Sayonarra, Inuyasha."
"Keh. Later."
Kagome and Chizaki was in the middle of an interesting conversation as they were nearing the village,
Girl talk that is.
" I think Miroku's a pretty cool guy." Chizaki chatted. "But when he mentioned the thing about bearing children that was uncalled for. Plus he lost even more cool points when he groped me."
"Yeah." Kagome replied nonchalantly. Her pace was considerably slower and she lacked the spring in her step she usually had. She was lost in thought.
"It's that Inuyasha cat isn't it?" She stated without looking back at Kagome. However judging from the tone of her voice she seemed amused.
"W-what?" She stammered from nonplus, blushing wildly. Chizaki drew a grin from ear to ear. The infamous grin that gave Alice the creeps by that damn cat. Now it was Kagome who was spooked by that expression. "Chizaki what's with the pearly whites?" She asked slightly alarmed.
"Kagome I know we were raised in some ways like the Amazon but at least we have seen boys before."
Kagome's blush became even brighter. "Well he is pretty cute. The cutest guy I'd ever seen in my eighteen years." ' Damn I said that aloud.'
Chizaki began laughing mercilessly at Kagome's sudden peccavi. "Hey! Talk about puppy love!"
"No. It's not like that." Kagome protested.
Chizaki's smirk became even wider. " He really digs you, girl. Did you saw the way how he was looking at you when you were walking away? Doggy boy was really feeling that sway of your hips." Kagome loosened her obi of her kimono to hide her curves as her companion fell out with laughter. " Chizaki you're embarrassing me!" Kagome chided. 'Could he really? This kimono really did brought me out.'
The girl was still laughing furiously at Kagome. She had to think of a smart reply to take the load off her back. And when she did Chizaki's laughter ceased tragically.
"Well Miroku felt like busting loose. He just couldn't wait to get down and dirty with you." She retaliated.
Chizaki was shock to hear her say that but calm down afterwards. "Okay, okay, I'll chill."
Kagome had won that round. She made a victory sign. Chizaki huffed and continued on their trek towards the village.
" Inuyasha I see that you're quite taken with Kagome." Miroku stated.
The silver hair being stopped in his tracks. " Yeah I suppose." He responded.
"Puberty perhaps?" Mocked Miroku.
" I'm damn near nineteen, not a twelve year old!" He scolded.
"Just joking. But really I never seen you so interested in. anything for that matter."
" There's really something about here." He mused solemnly.
"Yes. She had a mighty nice figure."
"Yeah that too." Inuyasha hesitated. " It's almost as though I've seen her before. In a dream."
" I've seen many girls in my dreams." Miroku drolled.
Inuyasha frowned at his last remark. " Not those kinds of dreams you crash dummy. It was more like a premonition."
"Whoa! Easy on the ESP buddy."
"Whatever." Snorted Inuyasha. "Anyway the market town is just ahead."
A/N: Yeah that's a good start isn't it. I appreciate reviews if you like it. But tell a fool something when he make any mistakes, okay. If anybody come at me with some drama about this then that person is gonna get served. As for the story, Inuyasha repeatedly recalls seeing Kagome before but this is the first time he'd "actually" met her. More of that will be revealed. And lastly (All y'all Kikyou haters get the hell out the club!), Kikyou will be in this story as well and she will have a relatively large role in it too. Well,I'll see you later.
