Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Inuyasha sadly enough. I do however own Aoshi and any other characters that I decide to add into my story. The plot and story is mine so…leave me alone! D
Warning: There will be fowl language, SLASH [Yum!] and of course the casual Sexual Mature scene in my story. If you feel uncomfortable, please leave now. Thank you~
"Inuyasha, we have to help the villagers. We can't be passing something like this up."
"No."
"Inuyasha, please!"
"No means no. I'm tired of saving people Kagome. We're suppose to be looking for the sacred jewel shard and instead, I'm playing hero and saving pathetic people who should be able to take care of themselves!"
"That isn't fair! Not everyone is born with fangs and claws Inuyasha!"
"Well, humans shouldn't be so pathetic all the time!"
"Inuyasha, SIT BOY!"
CRASH!
"One for Kagome and zip for Inuyasha!" Shippo cried happily as he quickly scurried over to the rather large indention in the ground. "Wow…" he said in awe as he noted the depth. Inuyasha was surely going to feel that in the morning.
"Humph, serves him right," the young school girl muttered as she went over to get her pink bike and assemble it so that she could easily get on the odd contraption. "Shippo, let's get going. I'm sure that Sango and Miroku are probably already over there fighting the demon as we speak."
The fox kitsune nodded in agreement, hurriedly latching a ride on the young girl as she began to pedal off. Inuyasha remained however, muttering curses as he slowly began to pop his bones into place and sit up. "Damn wretch!" he cursed as he stood up and brushed the dirt off of his kimono. He really needed to get these damn beads off of him.
Meanwhile, the traveler's fellow companions were having their own trouble with the terrorizing snake demon that had taken refuge here. They had expected to find only one snake demon here, but it turned out that there were two occupants who were not all too happy about being disturbed from their eating habits of snagging the villagers. Snake Youkai were particularly dangerous, especially the kind they were dealing with. Both reptiles were of the venomous group and were toughly matched with long fangs, dripping acid like poison that leaked from their powerful jaws and not to mention their size. They had perfect camouflage too, especially near the forest because of their browns, blacks and other earthly colors that hid them quite well. Each snake was 40 feet long and about four feet big around. They were packed with nothing but muscle and weren't afraid to use that or their quick reflexes to try and snag the demon slayer or monk.
"Careful Sango!" Miroku cried when the dark brown creature lashed out at the young woman on the ground.
Sango turned to the voice of the monk, barely catching sight of the attack as she rolled to the side. A loud hiss of annoyance was heard as the creature pulled back and glared at the intruders. Both humans were trying to keep both creatures at bay, not wanting to destroy anymore of the village or kill anyone else who still lived here. By themselves, Sango and Miroku had managed to get the serpents towards an open field at the end of the village, but that was about all they could do at this point.
"I'm okay," she told the other reassuringly as she quickly looked around for Hiraikotsu which was lodged in a large tree. Quickly reaching her feet, she hurried off to her weapon and managed to tug the bone free. "Kirara, let's go!" The feline quickly moved over to where Sango was, picking up her Mistress as she rushed into the sky. Both snakes were going after Miroku now and she only hoped that he wouldn't' use his wind tunnel just yet. A recent run in with Naraku had injured his wind tunnel and it had taken him days to even get him standing again because of the bugs deadly poison.
Trying to find an opening, the young slayer clutched the demon bone close before she twisted her body and swung an attack at the demons. The strength of the bone was capable of wounding on the snakes, cutting it near it's neck deep enough to get the animal's attention and cause quite amount of damage. The animal hissed in pain, turning to hiss at Sango as she caught her Hiraikotsu and swung it back. Kirara went to Miroku, shooting a stream of fire at the uninjured snake before her Mistress grabbed the overwhelmed monk and pulled him onto the animal's back.
"Wow, thanks Sango. I thought I was a goner back there," he sighed as he turned to look at the snakes below. They were still causing havoc even if one of the snakes were injured pretty badly.
"We can't hold them off for much longer," Sango whispered with slight dread. Before Miroku could change her mind or even speak, the two were both pulled away from the disaster and forced to focus on Kagome riding in on her bike.
"Hey you guys!" she called to her friends as she slowed down on her bike and parked it before grabbing her bow with her hands.
"Kagome, you made it!" Sango said cheerfully as she told her pet cat demon to land. Kirara landed with ease, giving a purr in greeting to the young priestess as Miroku slipped off of the feline's back.
"Yes, we are all happy, but where is Inuyasha?" the monk questioned as he looked around for their hanyou friend.
"Oh well…you see-" Kagome began before she was suddenly cut off by a rather loud and rude voice that was very familiar to the party.
"I can't believe this! We were called to kill a few snake demons and they are both still alive? Jeez. Be glad that I'm here since nothing seems to get done around here without me," Inuyasha scoffed as he pushed past Kagome and his friends.
"Inuyasha…" the teen threatened as she took an arrow to load her bow. "You don't need to be such a jerk. Sango and Miroku were working hard on these snakes before you came!"
"Yeah, I can see that."
Gripping Tetsusaiga, he allowed his sword to transform before he instantly went running towards the two snakes aimlessly.
"Inuyasha! You can't be running into battle like that!" Kagome called as she looked at the scene with worry and some annoyance.
"Idiot! He's going to get himself killed!" Shippo cried as she clutched onto Kagome's shoulder tighter.
Inuyasha seemed to pay no attention, able to defend himself from the attacks. However, he was having trouble because of how big they were and over the fact that Tetsusaiga was still a little to big of him to handle just right. He had seen the Wind Scar before, but using it in battle was something else. If he was going to be able to defeat the snakes in one swing, he needed to get them together and be able to swing before they would strike.
"Damnit, stay still!" he growled as he swung his sword. One of the snakes twisted around the hanyou, hissing darkly as it reached to try and chomp the other in two. He jumped away, golden eyes glaring at the nasty creatures as he swung at them again. The battle was taking too long in Inuyasha's opinion and all of this needed to end now.
Taking a good handle on the weapon, he dodged as many quick attacks as he could, giving himself enough room to play around. Keeping his eyes on one of the snakes, he waited for the right move, a clear attack right at his body. With an open mouth and a loud hiss, the snake shot at the hanyou, barely missing his pray as Inuyasha flipped around and sliced Tetsusaiga right through it's neck. The animal gave one final cry, it's lifeless body falling to the ground as blood decorated the warm green grass and the silver gleam of Inuyasha's sword.
"Stupid snake!" he snapped at the dead body. "Serves you right for trying to think that you could eat me!"
With his remarks to the dead animal, Inuyasha somehow forgot or needless to say, he felt no worries towards the snake's mate who was hurriedly making it's way to where Inuyasha was currently standing.
"Inuyasha watch out!" Kagome screamed as she raised her bow and arrow at the animal.
"Hm?" Inuyasha turned and came face to face with a large agape mouth dripping with venom and a powerful youkai hoping to swallow him whole.
"INUYASHA!" the group called together in fright, Shippo closing his eyes as he hid behind Kagome.
"I can't watch!" he said quickly as he shook in fright.
A moment of silence seemed to take everyone at once as Kagome aimed the arrow towards the attacking animal. But right before she could fire, something in the forest caught her eye that made her turn around.
Rushing through the trees was a huge dog demon, heading right to where the snake was going to Inuyasha. With a confused look, the group all watched with relief and surprise as the dog demon snapped it's jaws around the serpent's body and crunched it's spine with one bite, easily saving Inuyasha from mere inches of death. Another crunch was heard, a hiss leaving the snake's body as the one responsible for it's death, took the snake a few feet away and dropped it on the ground.
Kagome went to Inuyasha quickly, ignoring the large dog demon as she went to the other. "Inuyasha, are you alright?" she asked with concern as she touched his arm. The hanyou didn't answer, still in a bit of shock before his eyes began to focus and he looked at Kagome.
"Yeah…I'm fine but, what-"
Inuyasha was unable to finish his question as he turned to look at the large beast currently sitting a few meters away with a calm look on it's face. The dog was just as big as Sesshomaru would be in his true form but he looked quite different. His fur was long and silky, but he was the color of wild auburn with beautiful sapphire eyes and equally blue markings under his eyes and legs. He had one stripe under each eye, two stripes above each paw while the rest of his body held the warm reddish brown color that looked quite lovely in the sun light. The enormous animal seemed at ease, casting a look at the other humans before it locked eyes with the hanyou he had saved.
The hanyou just stared, Kagome looking between the two before she frowned. "Inuyasha do you know who this is?" she asked her companion as she saw the distant look that seemed to have filled the hanyou's golden eyes.
A flash of emotions seemed to take of Inuyasha's eyes for a moment, the young school girl quite startled as Inuyasha suddenly regained his composure and shot daggers as the drooling dog who was currently giving him a satisfied look.
"Aoshi, you bastard! He was my kill! What are you doing here ruining my fun!" the half dog demon suddenly yelled, surprising everyone in the group as their friend put tetsusaiga away in it's sheath.
Miroku and Sango joined Kagome and Shippo, staring up at the dog demon as it stood and wagged it's tail.
"Aoshi?" they all said in surprise, curiosity and confusion easily covering their features.
Ha, it's done with. Um…well, yes. This story is going to have an OC so uh…don't kill me please. .; The pairings are as follows: Inuyasha/Kagome, Miroku/Sango, and Sesshomaru/Aoshi. I will have the other pairings mentioned, but this story is going to break off and start revolving around Sesshy and Aoshi because they are the ones that matter. Ha, anyways, please R&R and let me know what you think, thanks. :] You'll know more about Aoshi in the next chapter, promise!
