Hi, this is my first fanfic. Be nice to me, and give me reviews:D
Disclaimer - I don't own Inuyasha.
On with the story.
The girl dashed blindly into the forest. Twigs cracked around her and leaves rustled almost deafeningly, yet the girl ran on, oblivious to everything around her. Beads of sweat trickled down her forehead in rivulets, sliding smoothly down her pale skin. Her ruby red eyes glittered, and stared straight forward, seemingly fixated on something far in the distance. The girl's black long dress swirled silently around her bare feet, threatening to trip her at any possible chance. Animals of the night gazed at her sullenly, their vision boring into her. Even the shadows flickered with an unspoken menace. Wind hissed in the girl's ear as she hurtled forward, ever searching for her destination.
She stopped. Almost instantly, the forest's deafening noises subdued to an eerie silence. A cool wind breezed its way through the trees, once again disturbing the peace. Striding forward, the girl walked until she reached a smooth, carved boulder. Indented markings and symbols ran from right to left, in neat rows over the whole rock. Placing her pale, right hand on the large stone, the girl started to mutter in a fast, incoherent manner. As she was muttering, her fingertips ran lightly along the indents on the rock. As her chanting continued, the markings she had touched flared to life, radiating a mysterious light, purple in colour.
Continuing with the odd process, the girl reached the final symbols, pausing at the last one. Falling into silence, the girl sharply jerked her hand away, taking a slight step back, in preparation to what came next. The boulder, in response shook slightly. Still shaking, the massive rock moved aside, revealing a seemingly endless chasm of darkness below it. With no signs of hesitation at all on her features, the mysterious girl abruptly jumped into the darkness, letting it consume her body all over.
Her black hair flying, the girl finally came to a halt in movement. Her feet touched the ground, so she straightened up. Tossing her hair back over the shoulders, the girl studied where she had arrived. A dark, cold type of shack surrounded her, quite spacious, yet dominated by dust, cobwebs, and various types of insects. She smiled. Two white sharp fangs emerged, with the presence of a tongue licking her lips. The girl carelessly tossed a glittering item clenched in her left hand over to a dark corner, where it was instantly snatched by a hand. The object dully shone as it was turned over, being inspected by the new stranger. Satisfied, the creature in the shadows tossed it back to the girl, who in reply smirked again. Studying it for herself, the girl examined it for herself.
The object was cut out of a pearl, or so it seemed. It had the shape of a shard of an object, yet inside of it, a faintly glowing light pulsed. It looked very fragile, as almost touching it would make it break. But when the girl hurled in onto the ground with all her strength, the shard thudded to the ground, intact.
Picking it up with satisfaction, the teen female picked it up off the ground, and leisurely picked up a glass bottle. The shard was dropped in, and the girl pocketed it.
The girl spoke for the first time. Her voice rang out through the shack, leaving a dead silence after it.
"Do you have an idea where the next one is, Sango?"
"Yeah. It's quite close to where we live."
"Where is it, then?"
The creature in the shadows, now known as Sango stood up. Walking into the light, an amber haired beauty stood, grinning. Her chocolate eyes flashed as she spoke.
"Our school."
The first time Kagome Higurashi had ever met a vampire was when she was twelve. Dark at night, she had felt herself being forced suddenly into a dark alleyway. Relying on reflexes, Kagome had savagely bit and scratched at the stranger, at least until they recoiled. After turning away and sprinting as fast as she could, Kagome felt herself once again being forced backwards, one hand clamped over her mouth. Struggling furiously, the terrified girl abruptly stopped at the sound of her attacker's voice. A male adolescent's voice, one or two years older than her had hissed at her to stay quiet.
Shocked at how young he was, Kagome had subdued into stunned silence. Sharp pain ran through her like a sudden chill, and the girl immediately blacked out. When she had woken up, Kagome was surrounded by worried faces, talking anxiously. When the weak girl had been transported to the safety of her home, she lay on the bed, when the sharp pain shot through her again, starting from her neck. Staggering to her bedroom mirror, she instantly found the cause. Two puncture marks, parallel to each other. On the right side of her neck.
Since then, Kagome Higurashi found the frenzy for blood irresistible. Her vampiric genes running out of control, the young girl had no choice but to feed every week, to keep her surviving. However, when Sango Taijiya came into the picture two years later, everything immediately changed.
Sango was a demon. A banished one, in fact. Banished from the demon realm for refusing to kill mercilessly, yet ironically on arrival on earth killing a mass of people on instinct. Kagome had walked in when the last person had been demolished. After exchanging a few stinging insults, a massive battle emerged, in the end both girls falling to the ground, though Kagome was standing a few seconds longer.
Since then, Sango had accepted Kagome as an ally. The two became best of friends, over time. Sango had devised a special restraint for Kana – a silver crucifix on a necklace. The accessory kept Kagome's vampiric side in check, so she could live as a normal human.
Now, Kagome 16 years of age and Sango 17, the two had come across an ancient spell – The Pearl of Four Souls. Four identical artefacts needed to be found – all shards of the original pearl, holding an extremely powerful aura inside them. All four were extremely hard to obtain as they were highly prized for their power, and the pair had found only one out of four. When all found and put together, it was said that a wish deepest inside the summoner's heart would be granted. Setting their goal on it, Kagome and Sango had been on the search for 2 months.
