I do not own Inuyasha.
Dragondiva88 here! OK- so this will be the fourth fic on FF.net, and this is a little different from what you people are used to. It is still my original story and so if you like the other fics, you are going to like this one too, I hope.
Anyway, this is after the battle with Naraku, and the Shikon no Tama is completed. Kagome and Inuyasha have decided to keep things as they are now, with Kagome traveling through the well to see him and vice-versa. They have not found love yet. As for Kikyo, she is out of Inuyasha's life, because she and, yes you guessed it, Onigumo went to hell together. I hated Kikyo anyway so that does not make a difference to me. OK- so Sango and Miroku hooked up and they now have their first child. (It has been a few years so that makes sense). Inuyasha and Kagome are REALLY close to getting together, but there is only one problem . . . Hojo. LET THE DRAMA BEGIN!
The Perfect Weapon
Chapter One
===================================
The well was a welcome place for the girl that overcame time. She and her friends from another realm ventured easily between one era and the next, and the time they spent together was unmatched by any other, including her own family.
Shippo, the young kitsune that she had befriended almost instantly when she met him was one of the time- crossers. His childish antics and age-defying personality helped him enter her heart as a member of her family. Spoiling him was no chore for the girl, for he was like a child of her own, and she treated him as such beyond contestation.
Miroku, the lecherous monk was another member. With his dashing good looks and chivalrous attitude, he could charm even the most cold-hearted person. His perverted habits would sometimes get the best of him however whenever a beautiful woman was nearby, but he made up for this with his wisdom, that was far beyond any other's in the group.
Sango, the demon hunter was the girl's closest female friend. She was strong despite the sacrifices she had made in the past, and her persistence was what had gotten her this far in her journey through life. With her faithful pet, Kirara, she kept secrets, battled evil, and found love in the strangest places.
Finally, there was the demon, Inuyasha. He was the man of her dreams, leading her to new feelings and new relationships in the blink of an eye. He was the reason she woke up in the morning, and the reason she went to sleep at night. His amber eyes shone like the sun, and his image filled her dreams. His life protected hers on many an occasion and it was likewise for him. The only thing that kept her from him was the look in his eyes that spoke of another. The other girl was a miko, like herself, but she had been Inuyasha's first love . . . his only love in her opinion.
Kagome, the young miko of the future stood at the base of the well in the Feudal Era. Inuyasha would not be pleased if he had known that she was on her way for a date with a classmate, Hojo, but it was not his decision, so she chose to leave without telling him.
She was having second thoughts about abandoning him, though. She hated whenever she parted with the half-demon, even when it was for a few agonizing moments. The relationship with the demon had progressed greatly since the end of their quest, but an awkward situation or two was common for the pair. Her cheeks flamed at the loss of breath that she had experienced running for the well, but it made no difference, for she knew he would catch up with her eventually. It was inevitable. She jumped.
===================================
"That girl has really been taking risky chances with me these days. . . "Inuyasha muttered to no one in particular. Kagome had left early that morning without mentioning anything, which was common for her to do nowadays. Inuyasha had warned her against it, but she had chosen to annoy him rather than abide by him. Bad choice.
As much as Inuyasha's grievances annoyed everyone else, they proved to be a constant source of entertainment to the little kitsune, Shippo. He enjoyed studying the hanyou's pacing, and giggled at the sound of Inuyasha's quiet grumbles. That is, until he was pummeled into the ground by a pair of large, demon fists. Then he did not like it so much.
"When are you going to start being nice to Kagome, ya big meanie?" Shippo yelled.
"Why don't you pipe down, you little brat?" Inuyasha bellowed back. They both growled at each other before proceeding to wrestle, Shippo obviously being the loser, but still having a chance to bite Inuyasha's ear a few times. This was how Sango found them.
"Don't you two have anything better to do? I mean, Kagome must have some mindless chore for you to do. Speaking of which, where is Kagome?"
Sango was about seven months pregnant, and twenty years old, but her good humor was still intact. Her stomach, however, was large and hard to move around.
"She ain't here." Inuyasha said bluntly. Sango nodded thoughtfully before commenting.
"So what did you do to her this time, Inuyasha? Was it the name-calling, or was it the 'You're mine so you're staying here' act? Trust me; both are bound to get that kind of reaction."
"Feh" Inuyasha replied. Standard procedure for the hanyou. It just meant that she had struck a nerve.
"Where's the dirty houshi?" Inuyasha asked after he had successfully pinned Shippo.
"My husband, Inuyasha, should be following me shortly."
Inuyasha grumbled. The fact that Miroku had managed to keep his woman under wraps while he still could not brought him even more anxiety. His ears slid back onto his head, and he bared his teeth.
"Where is KAGOME?!" he yelled. Fed-up, Shippo decided to speak up.
"Geez, you're such a big dummy! If you even bothered to ASK Kagome where she was going you would know that she's going on a da-"
Miroku ran through a clearing in the woods to strike Shippo on the head with his staff. All of them knew of the date with Hojo Kagome was currently going on, but they knew undoubtedly that if Inuyasha knew, there would be hell to pay. Inuyasha looked at the monk strangely, and then looked at Shippo. It was time for Miroku to do a little acting.
"Oh, I hurried here as quickly as I could when I heard the sound of demon screaming . . . but it was only Inuyasha, so I do not have to worry. I was so worried about my faithful friends and my precious wife that I . . ." Inuyasha listened on to Miroku's incessant ramblings, scratching his head.
The monk was being too pure- something was going on that they did not want him to know about.
"Oi, what was the brat going to say before you-"
"Oh nothing . . . nothing at ALL, Inuyasha!" Sango laughed nervously.
Inuyasha tried to piece things together. Kagome leaving unexpectedly without telling him, his friends acting weird, and Shippo about to say something that started with a "d" and an "a" were all the clues he needed.
"SHE'S ON A DATE WITH THAT DIRTY, BAKA HUMAN! I'm GONNA RIP HIM TO SHREDS!" Inuyasha yelled suddenly. The friends were terrified for the safety of Kagome, and for the human boy, and they had a look of abject terror on their faces. Inuyasha tore off into the woods too fast for them to catch up. They had just failed their mission . . . miserably.
===================================
Kagome had never thought that a date with the one she usually ignored would be so fun. She had been to the movies with him, had a delicious meal, and she had had a wonderful time. The best part was that Inuyasha had not been around to spoil it. Her friends must have been better at keeping secrets than she thought.
"So Kagome, have you given any thought to what we are going to do relationship wise?"
Kagome had always feared that question. She hated when she was put on the spot. Now she had to tell him about Inuyasha. She stopped walking, and pretended not to see the sweat beading on Hojo's forehead. She folded her arms, trying to think of something to say that would not ruin the good night they had. He approached her, knowing she was confused, and placed one hand on the low of her back to draw her closer, and the other on her cheek. She, oddly enough, melted into his embrace. She looked up at him, trying to search his face for the answers she was looking for but her look changed from chagrin to dread as she uttered two simple words.
"Oh no . . ." Hojo was perplexed by her answer, but when he saw that she was looking behind him at something, he turned his head around quickly, only to have it slammed into an angry hanyou's fist.
Inuyasha picked the boy up by his neck, growling and seething as his claws cut the delicate skin there. Kagome knew that this was not going to end well by the tinge of red in Inuyasha's eye line. She stepped in front of the angry half demon, letting her feelings show clearly on her features. She felt on the brink of crying, and she tried to pry Inuyasha off the slowly suffocating human boy. Inuyasha would not budge. She tried again, this time screaming into his ear. This got his attention.
He yowled, dropping Hojo on the ground unceremoniously. He coughed and sputtered while clutching his throat. Kagome rushed to his side. Inuyasha changed tactics. Instead of taking Hojo away from Kagome, he was going to take Kagome back away from Hojo. He grabbed her wrist, yanking her roughly. Hojo looked onward, letting his eyes drift to the hanyou's strange appearance. The ears, claws, and eyes took him by surprise, and his strength was immeasurable. He had never seen anything like him.
"What are you?" he mumbled hoarsely. The demon turned around briefly, only to answer him with a short, menacing response.
"I'm the perfect weapon, human."
===================================
With his safety returned to him, Hojo quickly retreated to his home without even worrying about Kagome's safety with the mysterious demon. He had bigger things on his mind. It seemed that the hanyou's response to his question had given him a rather brilliant idea.
He picked up the phone, he dialed the number, and then a small click answered him. No voices, no response, just a click was his cue to speak. He cleared his throat.
"Agent Himora, Hojo reporting. It seems we have the solution to our plans . . . the perfect weapon." End phone conversation.
