Chapter 1: In Which Inuyasha Battles A Semi
Inuyasha's POV
"Why does Kagome always take so long?" I growl to Shippo.
"Worried about her again, Inuyasha?" that cowardly heaven smirks, resulting in three goose-eggs on hi tiny self-assured head.
bit he's right: I always get worried about Kagome when she goes to the future. I don't know much about her world, what if she's in danger right now?
I get up off the grass and jump into the Bone Eater's WEll, thing up different different reasons to scold Kagome so that I could disguise my worry. Jumping out of the well inot that familiar shack, I run into her little brother who's laying down Kagome's backpack which is bulging with things that smell familiar and I'll probably eat soon. "Where is she?" I growl to the boy on the ground.
"Probably on her way home from school," he mutters, shooting me a dirty glare which I ignore.
Thanks," I yell as I leap out and into the polluted air of "Kagome's World."
I have three paths to choose from: a tan, thin stretch of level ground crowded with giggling girls; a large expanse of level black with these quickly moving boxes; another crowded path, an exact replica of the others side. Of course: I choose the less crowded black road with the suspicious boxes. Dodging the boxes which bark at me, I follow Kagome's scent to find her blushing at a boy handing her a package. Growling, I take a large leap so that I land between Kagome and her "friend".
"Inuyasha! what are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you the same, Kagome! Why are you taking so long?!"
"Kagome? Who is this?" asks the dude who had offered her what I now see as a pack of drinks in these clear containers.
"He's uh... no body! bye!" After shoving his gift back in his arms and grabbing my hand, she runs faster than I've ever seen her run. We're around the corner where there's no one to be seen when she screams: "Inuyasha! Why can't you just let me take a break for a while?!"
"Because-" I start, but then I hear a loud rumble and turn to see a huge, reeking box going slower than the others that looks too much like a demon to go without my inspection and suspicion. Deciding it's too much of a risk for Kagome, I jump up on it and cry out: "Iron Reaper Soul Stealer!"
"Inuyasha! NO!!" she screams. My claw comes down to collide with the creature, tearing through it's thick skin. It doesn't seem all that affected- it keeps moving. She runs at the pace of the demon, screaming at me to get down.
"Just a little cut eh? Well feel this!" I yell at it, then sink my claws into my hand as to draw blood. "Blades of Blood!" I scream, and the real damage is down when I hit the head of the beast.
Kagome looks at me in horror, why odesn't she tell me to sit? "Inuyasha! Get off that semi! PLEASE!" she begs. Please? I decide to hit it one last time with Iron REaper Sould STealer, then I'll return to her.
Kagome's POV
"Iron Reaper Soul STealer!" he yells, and brings down his claw down into the cargo area labeled: PETROLEUM. I can't make him sit as he'd drown in oil, but how can I make him stop? Too late...
I start running away, knowing there's bound ot me an explosion. My prediction is correct: part of the truck explodes and flames replace the metal Inuyasha tore away.
Screams erupt from my throat and I fall to the ground with my arms above my head. Another explosion then everything goes black.
Inuyasha's POV
"Damn it! I should of listened to Kagome!" my screams over and over as I search through the flames and flying bits of the demon for her. "Kagome!" I holler as I continue to search through the smoke, then hear her scream as another explosion sends flaming hot bits of the car about.
Finally I find her with her clothes on fire and her arms covered in cuts. But the scariest sight is when I pull of somehting glowing red and hot as fire off her legs to find the skin burned clean off. The fire on her clothes travels to her hair, making it look red with the flames. A patch of hair is comes off and I can see a bloody gash with a shard of the beast still stabbed into the injury.
Cloth of the fire rat meets Kagome's burning body as I tear it off me and smother the flames eating her alive. People begin to come, but hopefully can't see us throught he smoke. Soon her limp body wrapped in red is in my arms, and I jump on the nearest roof and leap torwards the shrine containing the portal to a time more familiar to me. Soon we are going through that portal, but even in my rush I remember to grab the backpack her brother had propped against the well.
In the silence, I hear her heart beating slowly and lethargicly, and the dying body in my arms is getting colder and colder in my arms. "Don't die Kagome," I whisper, then we enter the world I've lived my many years in with one thought: "I hope Sesshomaru will do me a favor."
"Inuyasha!" sever voice yell. My thoughts change. How am I supposed to explain?
