Chapter
1
Liney
smiled as her feet touched the soft grass of Japan. She took a second
to breathe in fresh air, which was not the musky sea air for the
first time in a few weeks. She hopefully glanced around to see her
home or her friends, of whom she hadn't seen for many years since
she was captured and dragged off to America.
Something caught the
corner of her eye. She turned her head, he black hair flapped in the
breeze. Her heart beat faster at what she saw… her home was still
there, the same place she had left it. She didn't dillydally and
stand there all day. Well, who could, seeing your home for the first
time in years? She ran towards her home. Her home was a forest, the
forest that went by the name of Inuyasha Forest. Now, Liney despised
a boy named Inuyasha, along with all her friends, as Inuyasha… he
broke Liney's heart, long ago.
Liney scoffed as she
remembered the name of the forest, and remembering the name of the
dog hanyou. She sniffled.
I
hope he died while I was gone…
She thought quietly as she skidded to a halt infront of the forest.
She stood for a second, dumfounded, to take it all in. With a
confident sigh, she hollered:
"IT'S ME, LINEY, I'M HOME!"
She waited for a few minutes; surely, she saw a white-haired boy come
running towards her. She froze in shock at the sight.
"I-I-Inu…"
"Inu?! I'm not Inuyasha!" Yelled the boy.
He had dark blue eyes, like two round moons. He also had short,
snow-white hair and a long trench coat that flapped in the wind. He
stood six feet tall, wearing jeans and a T-shirt.
"I'm
Leokan… remember?"
Liney shook her head.
"L-Leo! I'm
so sorry about that!" She shrieked. Before the girl could say
anymore, he had his arms wrapped around her.
"Liney, I missed
you so much! I thought you were dead!"
He sobbed. "I'm so sorry I let you go last time!" Liney gave a
long-winded sigh after hearing these words.
"Leokan, it's
no-one's fault but those Youkai." She said simply, breaking from
his grip.
"So much has happened since you left. And before you
ask, Inuyasha is still alive." He said, he had a deep tone of
hatred as he said 'Inuyasha'. Liney was half disappointed and
half happy. Inuyasha was going to be a part of her forever, yet she
could never forget the horrible things he did to her. She
sighed.
"Good." She said, attempting to sound happy. And of
course, Leokan fell for it. "So, what has been happening?"
"Well…"
Explained the Lion Youkai. "It's a long story. I've turned into
a Youkai. I'm no longer a Hanyou, I used the Shikon No Tama's
Powers."
Liney looked at him. "Leokan… how come you are
still calm, and kind?" She asked.
Leokan searched his head for
an answer.
"In fact, I have no clue." He truthfully muttered.
Liney sighed and punched him in the shoulder jokingly.
"You
never
know anything!" She said, before turning around to walk away. After
not even 10 seconds when she started walking, a demon, named Talinia,
ran after them. Talinia looked a bit nervous.
"Oh Talinia, what
is it now? If it's another one of those sugar thi—"
"It's
not, it's VERY urgent!" Interrupted Talinia.
"Fine, but this
better be good!" Leokan said. Liney's rabbit ear perked to
listen, she was still turned around.
"Remember the Shikon No
Tama? Well, it turns out; there is also a Jueru No Hikari! And it is
has the exact capabilities of the Shikon No Tama, except it's
better to be used for good than bad!" She whispered. Liney turned
around.
"This could be bad… what if Inuyasha gets his hands on
it?" She said.
"Why would he want it?" Asked Talinia,
smirking. Liney gritted her teeth.
"You should know him by now!"
She yelled. "He wants to become a Youkai, and Leokan has already
used Shikon No Tama for that!"
Talinia panicked. "I
know!"
Liney looked at her. "Well, let's round up some
people and go after it!"
I''m
afraid I've told everybody, and they're already teaming up…"
She said quietly. But Leokan and Liney were already gone by the time
Talinia finished her sentence. Talinia was steaming. "Grrrr!!!!!"
She growled, before storming off.
Liney and Leokan walked through
the forest in silence, not saying a word. Liney decided to break the
silence after awhile of soundless walking.
"Who are we going to
ask first?" She questioned. Leokan froze.
"I was thinking…"
He said.
"Thinking what?"
"That we should bring
Inuyasha." He closed his eyes because he knew a smack was coming.
Liney slapped him right across the face, so loud that you could hear
it on the other side of the forest. "Are you on crack?!" She
yelled.
"No!" He retorted. "I just thought it would be wise
if we bring him with us so that we can keep a close eye on
him!"
Liney crossed her arms. She majorly did not like this
idea. He did not want to see Inuyasha, or smell him, or even sense
his presence. She hated Inuyasha. Inuyasha hated her.
"Come on
Liney, cheer up!" Said Leokan. Liney pouted as they neared the
white-haired hanyou, who was sitting in a tree on his
own.
"Inuyasha…" Said Leokan. Inuyasha's ears twitched and
he opened one eye.
"Whaddaya want Leo- Liney?!?" He jumped
upon seeing the youkai girl, and fell onto the ground, landing flat
on his face. Liney giggled a bit.
"I guess some things about you
never change… like you being a jerk." She said, humorous at
first, then mockingly after. Inuyasha let out a growl.
"Why are
you jerks here?!" He growled.
"Listen, there is a Jewel like
the Shikon No Tama." Said Leokan. "It's called the Jueru No
Hikari. And we want you to come with us to find it…"
"That
means, I'll finally be able to be a Youkai?" He questioned, a
grin spreading across his face. Liney sighed and nodded.
"Count
me in!" Exclaimed Inuyasha, jumping to his feet. He stood beside
Liney, though she moved away from him, standing beside Leokan.
Inuyasha snarled.
"Stop Dilly-dallying, and lets go!" Said
Leokan. He stopped. "Oh, Inuyasha, could you carry Liney on your
back? She can't fly."
"Just because I'm coming with you
dosen't mean I'll be nice, No!"
He yelled. Liney sighed sadly. He's
changed so much, he's so much ruder…
She thought.
"Inuyasha, we won't bring you if you're not
kind." Threatened Leokan.
Inuyasha crossed his arms.
"Feh,
so what?" He mocked. "I can find it on my own!"
"Do you
know where it is?"
"…No…."
"Point proven." Said
Leokan.
"And I'm assuming you
know where it is?" Asked Inuyasha. Leokan nodded.
"I do. The
isle of Lightened Souls."
"Where the heck is that?!" Yelled
Inuyasha.
"Like I'd tell you." Scoffed Leokan. Inuyasha bit
his lip.
"Fine." He said finally. Liney smiled when no-one was
looking quickly, before clambering onto his back. Inuyasha snarled.
"You need to lose some weight." He growled. Liney felt a bit
bad, but decided to ignore the comment.
Leokan rolled his eyes
before flapping his wings, his feet lifted off the ground as he
soared through the air. Inuyasha snarled and ran after him, before
jumping into the air. Liney squealed, she was not too fond of heights
at all. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "What, wench, you scwared of
hwights?" He said Mockingly. Liney held on tightly to Inuyasha,
ignoring what he said. Inuyasha looked at her, he smiled, he loved
seeing her scared…
Yet it made him feel guilty deep inside for
liking to see her upset in anyway. He shook his head, he hated Liney,
Liney was an idiot. He turned around and continued flying, looking
annoyed…
