This is the only reminder you will have. I do not own Inuyasha! (I wish though)
Chapter One
Deep in the forest of the feudal era, Shippo, a small enthusiastic fox demon, was running with the others to the well to meet Kagome, a 18 year old school girl from the future. Along with Shippo is Sango, a demon slayer, Miroku, a flirtatious monk with a curse on his right arm when uncovered it becomes a whirlwind of powerful suction, and Lady Kaede, sister of the deceased Kikyo, a powerful priestess, and Inuyasha's former love, who is also traveling with the group to meet up with Kagome.
Inuyasha is the only one who can go into the Bone Eater's Well where Kagome travels back and forth through time as he been so for the past 3 years. He then leaps to the edge of the well, look back at his friends and jumps into the well to wait for Kagome on the other side. He went through a light tunnel until he landed on the well floor. Inuyasha then jumped up out of the well and spots a surprised Sota, Kagome's little brother in the well house.
"Oh! Inuyasha. Hi" said the shocked boy.
"Uh, hi Sota. Is Kagome home?"
"Yeah, she's packing her bag. Come on, I'll take you to her room" Sota said as he led him into the house to Kagome's room where she was closing her bag.
"Uh, hey Kagome".
"Inuyasha! Hi. I was just about to leave to meet you".
"Yeah, but I decided to come get you. Sota was in the well house entrance when I got here".
"I see" Kagome said straddled it on her back, "Well, I hope I got everything. I'm ready".
"Good, let's go" Inuyasha commanded as they walked out of Kagome's room and out the house. Suddenly, they was stopped by Kagome's mother.
"Kagome! Wait! Don't forget your lunch. I packed it just for you and your friends" she said running towards her with a big box of food.
"Oh! Thanks mom" Kagome said as she took the box from her mother and then waved goodbye as she entered the well entrance. Then Sota ran into the entrance to say his goodbye.
"Kagome! I'll see you later OK".
"OK Sota. I love you" Kagome said she waves at her brother then jumped into the well along with Inuyasha right behind her. Kagome landed at the bottom of the well with Inuyasha right beside her
When the two climbed out of the well, it was Shippo who ran and jumped to Kagome's arms on top of the lunch box. The others welcomed her back to the era. Kagome put down the box with Shippo on top to go and hung Sango and Kilala, a two-tailed cat demon with the powerful to grow 10 times her own size, big enough for three people to ride on. She is also a fire demon meaning no fire can harm her, but when return to normal, she is the size of a kitten.
"Hi Kilala! How's the cutest kitty in the world doing?" asked Kagome petting the kitten.
"Meow" Kilala said, for when she transforms, her meows turn into roars.
"I'm glad you returned Kagome, we still have to finish the quest" Miroku said.
"Yeah, I know. I brought us some lunch in case everyone gets hungry".
"Oh, I hope your mom made those dumplings I love so much" Sango said cheerfully.
"Hmph" Inuyasha huffed crossing his arms into his kimono.
"Now what Inuyasha?" Kagome says.
"Nothing".
"Uh..." Kagome said stopping herself and picking up the box. "Let's go to the village first".
"I agree" Miroku said as the others follow along to go to the village where Lady Kaede lived.
"Why do I feel so happy when Kagome's around? It's not like she's my woman or something" Inuyasha thought as he shook the thought out of his head. "Although, I wouldn't mind if she was".
When they reached the village, Lady Kaede was in her hut drinking tea. She was the elder in the village and she was well respect. The group went inside and sat down to join her. Shippo hopped on Kagome's lap and got comfy while Kilala did the same with Sango.
"Ah, I'm glad you made it Kagome. I'm glad all of ye can come by for a visit".
"I'm glad too Lady Kaede. It's nice to be back. Oh! If you would excuse me, I got to go to my hut and pick up a few things before we leave. I'll be right back" Kagome said as she stood up and left Kaede's hut and went to hers.
Inside her hut was decorated with things from her time that she brought home. Most was from her mother and grandfather. She put her backpack down on her bed and took out the things she brought. She then put the items up on her shelf and pack a few things from the same shelf. She grabbed some candy from her candy jar and put in it the front pocket of her back pack and then zipped it shut. She then went to her table and got some matches she saves from her time for camps. Little did she know that Inuyasha was standing by the entryway looking at her longly while she's looking around her table thinking.
"She's so beautiful" he though, "How can I find someone so beautiful to hang out with me. She is the reincarnation of Kikyo, but she's so much different. She smells different, and her heart is also different, unlike Kikyo's. (sigh) I would like for her to..."
"Inuyasha!"
"Huh" he said as he trail off his thought.
"How long have you been sitting there watching me?"
"Uh...oh...well..."
"You should have told me that you wanted to come along, you know I wouldn't mind".
"Oh. Sorry".
"Don't be" Kagome sighed. "I think I have everything. Let's get back to the others".
"Okay" Inuyasha said as he let Kagome come out the hut as he went right behind her.
Soon the others were waiting for them at Lady Kaede's hut. Sango was finishing her tea while Shippo and Kilala was dining on the lunch Kagome brought. Miroku was deep in thought as he lay motionless with his eyes close, almost meditating.
"Inuyasha isn't fooling me. I know that he has feelings for Kagome. He's just too stubborn to admit it. Oh, what am I saying, I can't even tell Sango how I feel. I should tell her as soon as I can cause..."
"We're back. Is everyone ready to go?" Kagome asked as she walked into the hut seeing the fox and cat demons eating away. Causing Miroku to loose thought.
"Shippo! Don't overdo it" Kagome commanded.
"Huh, oh, right Kagome" Shippo said as he closes the box.
"Well, since Shippo ate. I assume everyone is ready".
"I'm ready. Are you ready Sango?" Miroku asked.
"I'm ready. Come on Kilala" Sango said as she and Miroku stood up to leave. Shippo jumped on Kagome's shoulder with a smile as the group starts to leave.
"Ye all take care of yourselves" Lady Kaede said waving goodbye.
"We will" Kagome said as the group leaves the hut and then the village.
"What should we do now Inuyasha?" Kagome asked looking up at him.
"We should see where the next jewel shard is located. And to see if Naraku has any evil plans under his sleeve. You never know with him".
"Right" Kagome nodded as the group continue walking. Then she saw a tree with appears to be fruit growing from it. She ran towards the tree to get a closer look. It was indeed fruit, but not the fruit you eat. Inuyasha runs to stop her.
"Kagome, stop!" Inuyasha said running to her. "Don't eat that. You could get really sick".
"Huh, but it look so good. Why would it be so bad?"
"What kind of fruit is that Inuyasha?" Shippo asked with a confused look on his face.
"This fruit is what makes demons go into some sort of sleeping state. It makes them feel like they're floating but they are actually not. Like a trance".
"Oh. Well, it's best to leave it alone then" Kagome said as she walked away from the tree, but then spots another tree with another kind of fruit. She picked up and took a bite. The fruit was hot in her mouth.
"OH! Hot" she said fanning her tongue.
"Serves you right. That's the fruit only fire demons eat, like Kilala" Inuyasha explained.
"Oh, well, Kilala, you want some" Sango asked looking up at her pet who was sitting on top of her head.
"Meow" Kilala meowed as she jumped down to eat the heated fruit.
"Oh man" Kagome whined as she drunk some water from her water bottle. "I'll just stick to the foods I know".
"That's the best idea you've had yet" Inuyasha giggled.
"Oh, and what is it you're trying to say Inuyasha?" asked a steaming Kagome. "You're trying to say that I'm DUMB or something?"
"W-what? No-".
"SIT BOY! (boom)". Inuyasha's face landed in the dirt.
"Oh man" said Inuyasha getting up off the ground rubbing his head..
"What did you bring with you in your bag Kagome?" asked a curious Shippo.
"Huh, oh, well let's see" Kagome said putting down her bag and then opening it. "Well, I have so chips , some candy, and some gum. I didn't really pack anything before I left except a first aid kit".
"I'll take some candy".
"Okay Shippo" said Kagome reaching in her bag and giving the fox demon a piece of hard candy. "Just put it in your mouth and suck on it". The fox demon did as he was told, and he likes it "mmm".
"Hey look, there's an apple tree" Sango pointed.
"And another fruit tree next to it" Miroku said as the two ran to the trees.
Kagome then spotted a small light behind a tree next two where Sango and Miroku, along with Shippo was sitting down eating. Her curiousity got the best of her as she went to the tree to look behind it. She gazed upon a plant that looks like a rose but had demonic aura on it. It was deep red, a bit darker then blood color. She stared at it, nearly gawked at it until she started reaching her hand down to pick it out the ground until a clawed hand grabbed her wrist. She sense it was a powerful aura and when she turned her head she was right, it was Sesshoumaru.
"Lord Sesshoumaru" Kagome breathed. "Why do you have my wrist?"
Looking at her coldly he said, "That flower has the power to transform humans into demons. All the humans have to do is bite the flower and eat it, then drimk the blood of the demon they choose to be".
"Oh" Kagome said as Sesshoumaru let go of her wrist "How interesting? But it's so pretty".
"Yes, as a flower, but it holds the key to those who desire to become a powerful full-blooded demon".
"Hm" Kagome said with her fingers to her mouth, thinking.
"Do you wish to become a demon, girl?"
"Well, I always have thought what it would be like to become one. It might be cool".
"I see" said a eyebrow raised Sesshoumaru who began to walk until Inuyasha jumped in front of him.
"Sesshoumaru! Just what the hell do you think you're doing with Kagome?" he said.
"I did no such thing to the girl, yet, little brother". Kagome blushes, 'yet?' she thought.
"Don't put that brother shit on me. If I catch trying to hurt her..."
"You'll do what?!" growled Sesshoumaru.
"Hmph. Just wait and see".
"Do I want to wait half-breed?" said the now calm lord.
"I got your half-"
"Inuyasha! Damn it." he turned to Kagome.
"What?"
"Don't start. He didn't do anything to nearly harm me, so cool it!" said the upset girl. Sesshoumaru gave Inuyasha a smirk.
"Just what it is that is so funny to you?"
"You know that she won't let you fight me in front of her, do you?" Inuyasha sulked.
"Take care Kagome" the demon lord said as he turned and walked into the forest. Kagome modded as she picked the flower and put it in her pocket which still came to a shimmer-like glow.
"Why do you always but-in?" sighed Inuyasha.
"Because it's pointless. Now come on, let's make camp".
"Feh!" Inuyasha crossed his arms.
"SIT BOY!!" (WHAM!)
Inuyasha is really on edge everytime that his brother is around Kagome, but she's something in Sesshoumaru that they can not. Keep reading and see what unfolds.
