New Beginnings

Inuyasha, Kagome, and everyone else finally got back from slaying their most hated demon, Naraku. Or so they think he's dead. Kagura and Kanna leave the castle, finally breaking free of Naraku instead of always being under his control.

" I can't believe it's over." Kagome sighed, stretching her arms as they were walking down the trail. Inuyasha looked over at her, and frowned.

" We still have to get the rest of the jewel shards." Kagome just looked at him, and closed her eyes.

" Sit boy!" She commanded. Inuyahsa's necklace slammed him into the ground, hard as usual. " You didn't have to do that!" Inuyasha shouted. Miroku laughed, and helped him up. " She didn't mean it was completely over. All Kagome meant was that Naraku's finally out of our way."

Kagome looked away for a minute, sensing something close by." There's... a Shard of the Shikon jewel nearby.Wait... 4 of them! They're approaching fast" Inuyasha looked in the direction of a heavy sound, seeing a small twister.

" Hey Kagome!" A voice yelled out. Inuyasha knew who it was instantly just by the sound of the voice." Kouga, what are you doing here you mangy wolf?"

Kouga looked over at Inuyasha and smiled." You're pretty pathetic if that's all you can come up with mutt."

Inuyasha started to shout out, " Oh yeah!" Kouga shouted back to him, " Yeah!"

Both started a huge argument, but were both interrupted by Kagome." Stop it! Both of you!" Kouga stopped, and said." Allright, if my women says so." Inuyasha got furious at this, and yelled out." Your women? Since when is she your women?" Kouga growled, and started another argument.

" Since you always fail to protect her mutt!" Kagome shook her head, and sensed 2 more Jewel Shards.A strange, but very strong wire shot out

from where she sensed them, and grabbed her. It had a hook on the end, and whoever was controlling it, started to pull her in. Kouga and Inuyasha both shouted out the same thing." Kagome! I'll save you!" They started another argument, and Sango stepped out from beside Miroku.

" Step aside." She shouted. Sango threw Hirikos at the wire. A very small knife shot out of the bushes, and knocked the weapon into a tree.

Kagome was finally fully reeled in, and the captor ran with her on his back to a place in the mountains. Once they got there, he un-hooked the wire and took out the cloth that was preventing her from speaking.

" I'm very sorry I had to do that Miss" He appologized. Kagome looked at him, and asked him. " What do you want?"

He looked over at Kagome, and replied." I need your help. My Childhood friend Sakura was kidnapped. I can't get to her because she's in a place where only women can enter." Kagome nodded, and asked him again." What's your name?" He looked up, and smiled." My name? It's Rion." Kagome nodded, and said." I'll help." rion smiled again, and replied." Thanks."
