Kagome Needs A Hero
Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Bad
Balmung's Angel: This is my third Inuyasha fanfic, and the most normal of them all...well, in some ways. Don't worry, it won't be too bad. This story is a little different from the others in more than one way though.
Kagome: Yeah...in this I am actually the co-host, and the main character. A little strange, but oh well. Doesn't matter either way.
Balmung's Angel: -smiles at Kagome- Well, you're not the only one, but sadly, the other one is erm...a no show. Let's just start the-
Kagome: Let's just wait a little longer...He has to show up eventually...
Balmung's Angel: -sigh- Let's hope so...
-Five Hours later-
Balmung's Angel: ...I give up...Sorry Kagome..it's been five hours. He's still not here, and our readers are bored. Let's just start the story and let him show up whenever.
Kagome: ...fine...-sigh- Stupid idiot...
-The Present-
Mrs. Higurashi walked toward her daughter's room, humming slightly. Kagome had left for school a few hours before, but the woman could have sworn she heard a crash from the upstairs bedroom. She hurried into the room and saw two tall figures there, rooting through Kagome's dresser.
"What are you doing with my daughter's things?" She screamed. She trembled when they turned toward her, their faces contorted by strange markings and symbols. Horns stuck out from the top of their head, and their ears were pointed. To add to their grisly appearances, both had deep red skin, and even darker red eyes. Mrs. Higurashi took a step back and tried to run.
However, one of the demons took one step forward and a bolt of lightning shot from his outstretched, shooting through the poor woman, killing her instantly. But not before she let out a blood curdling scream. Her father, or in other words, Grandpa Higurashi came racing up the stairs when he heard her, but found her dead. He pulled out an ofuda.
"Demons begone! How dare you kill my daughter!" He threw the scroll at one of the demons, but before it could hit, it burst into flames. The flaming scroll went flying at the old man and hit him square in the chest as more flames shot out of the demon's palm, incinerating him. They then continued their search of the room until one found a small glass bottle.
"Found them brother." He told the other one. "Aria will be pleased with us." He smirked as the marks on his face vanished as they left the house. Both walked at the same speed, their large armor glittering as soon as they got outside. A little boy stood in front of them, shaking in fear. The same demon that had spoke shot another bolt of lightning at him, killing him as well. "Don't mess with the power of Ganbatou and Koubatou, the Twin Brothers of Houten." They both stomped off before vanishing in a puff of light back to their own era.
-Feudal Era-
The two demons Ganbatou and Koubatou stepped away from the strange light that had brought them back to their own era. In Ganbatou's hand was a small bottle with three jewel shards inside. "Aria, our queen. We brought you the shards."
A flash of light appeared in front of them as a tall woman appeared. Her long flowing silver hair was only enhanced by the deepness of her deep golden eyes. A full dog demon, and also one of the most cruel creatures ever walking the planet. She smiled down at them, showing long fangs as she reached out a hand to the both of them, her slender wrist barely exposed under her long garment.
Koubatou took the bottle from his brother and took a step towards the demoness. He slowly kneeled down in front of her and kissed her fingers lightly before presenting the bottle to her. "Here my queen. Do what you will with it." He stood up and stepped back to stand with his brother as Aria took the shards from the bottle and pressed them against her forehead until they melded with her body.
Aria smirked as the power coursed through her body. "You two have done well...You will be rewarded very soon..." Her smirk turned to a smile as she stared at them. Both of the other two demons smiled upon hearing her gentle voice. The demoness smiled one final time before vanishing in another puff of light, taking the brothers with her.
-The Present-
Kagome had only just finished with school when she was called to the principal's office. She walked slowly towards it, dreading what the man might say to her. When she arrived, the secretary looked at her grimly for a few seconds before sighing pointing to the room where the principal waited.
The man sighed when he saw her and gestured for her to come in. Kagome walked into the office and sat in the chair he pointed to. She stared up at him, waiting for him to speak first. When he didn't, she gulped. "Er...Principal Kinamoto, I'm sorry I've been absent so much. I'm failing, aren't I?"
Mr. Kinamoto shook his head. "That's not it Miss Higurashi. I just received a call from...the police...there...was an accident at your home." He wasn't quite sure how to tell her this, but he knew he had to.
Kagome paled and stood up so quickly that the chair fell over backwards. "What happened? You have to tell me! Please I have to know!" She begged him, her voice pained.
"Miss Higurashi...Kagome..." Mr. Kinamoto began again, walking over and picking up the chair. After he accomplished that, he forced her into the seat and held her there by placing his hands on her shoulders. "This is very hard for me to say, but...The police called to inform me...and you, that...your family...is dead."
"D-dead?" Kagome asked flatly, unsure of what he meant. It had to be some sick joke, right? What was the day again? She wondered. April Fools? That's got to be it, right? "You're not serious...are you?" She asked in disbelief.
The man nodded sadly. "Yes... I'm serious. I'm very sorry Miss Higurashi...they're dead..." he said softly.
Kagome was about to try to answer, but found that her voice didn't seem to work. Her expression was blank as she removed his hands from her shoulders and stood up slowly, nodding once to him as she picked up her schoolbag. She walked out of the office, not sure where she was going. Nothing in her mind seemed to be working at all.
She walked out of the building, with her principal standing at the door staring after her as she left campus and started to walk home. A part of her thought it was a sick joke still, and that her family would be waiting for her to come home as always. She started to run, and soon reached the shrine, where police officers were still standing here and there.
She ran up the steps and past a few officers. One of them tried to stop her, telling her that there was too much blood and she shouldn't look, but she just pulled away from her and kept running. She saw all of the blood, but thought that it was just something else. Animal blood, or demon blood maybe. She ran into the house and up to her room, seeing more blood, not knowing it was her family's.
She saw the dresser drawer open as she ran over to it. She searched through the drawers, but couldn't find the bottle with the jewel shards in it. She knew they were gone. Taken by something or other. Most likely some demon. The demon that had...done this. Still unable to cry, and still in a state of almost nothingness, she walked out of her room and down the stairs. She walked out of the house and towards the well in the small house to the back of the main house. She entered the well house and walked towards the well.
When Kagome reached it, she put one leg over the side and then the other. She jumped into it, and in a flash, was gone, gone to the Feudal Era beyond the magical Bone Eater's Well.
Balmung's Angel: -stares at Kagome- You okay?
Kagome: ...this is just a story right?
Balmung's Angel: Of course it is.
Kagome: Thank god... Erm...by the way, where is the other co-host?
Balmung's Angel: -slaps forehead- I have no idea... Let's just hope he shows up by the next chapter...-sigh-
Kagome: If he doesn't can I find us a new one? Oh, or can I bring in the other one too? That would be so fun!
Balmung's Angel: Yeah, you can. Even if he does show up, still call the other one. Ok. Second chapter will be up soon, but as always, please review!
