Okay, my first story.
Disclaimer: Certain charecters in the story do not belong to me, but those such as Claire Nasque and future charecters do.
Claire Nasque sat on a ridge overlooking the town of Nal. Her long silver hair floated in the wind as she hugged onto he knees. She wore a purple scarf in her hair, tied so the bangs would stay out of her face. Still there were a few stray bangs. She had a net top under a black shirt and jeans.
Claire had never been anywhere outside those village walls that towered so high around the village. She would leave from the eight gates that led from the village, but now only the wealthy could. She sighed standing and walking from the ridge to town.
Suddenly, as she walked the streets, screams filled the air which made Claire stop in her tracks. Looking to where the noise had sprouted, her mouth dropped open, a fire had begun. The guards who stood at a nearby gate began to call the other units and were to busy taking care of the fire they forgot the gate was open, and no one stood at guard.
Claire saw this as her big break and ran from the town through the large steel gates that had always caged her in. Not one single guard noticed her passing through, so she was free. She celebrated jumping up for joy and smiling wide.
"Yes! I'm free! That wretched village is far behind now!" She jumped foot to foot, and didn't even notice the oddness of the forest she was in. A large space opened up beside her and swallowed her up.
For a moment Claire was flabbergasted. She had no idea what was going on, she couldn't see any trees just black, like someone had turned off the lights. Could this really be happening? She shook her head in disbelief and closed her eyes tightly. Opening them again she was staring up at a clear sky, people dressed in clothes that looked like something from a feudal era.
Sitting up she heard a loud scream, "SIT!" then following that a loud crash, some owing, and bickering. She looked seeing a girl with long black hair and a green school uniform next to a man laying face down in the dirt with red clothing. He had silver hair like Claire's except longer and with dog ears.
'What in hell is going on?' Claire wondered as she stood up and slowly walked over to them. She was getting weird looks from all the people around her.
As she looked upon the oddities in front of her with wide eyes, a small squirrel like looking thing appeared.
"That's right Kagome! That's what he get for picking on me!" He began to stick his tongue out at the man with dog ears.
"Why you!" The silver haired dog man screamed, jumping up and chasing after the raccoon thing, picking it up and taking his fist to it's head giving it a nookie.
"Inuyasha! Put Shippo down!" When they kept their fighting, Kagome finally got angry and yelled her words again, "Sit boy!"
"GAH!" The now identified Inuyasha yelled as he seemed to be instantly pulled to the ground as a necklace around his neck lit up. The 'Shippo' character was crushed as well and he seemed to looked shocked as he crawled out from under Inuyasha and fell flat.
"Oh! Shippo are you okay?" Said another lady coming out of a small hut with a man all dressed in a purple robe. The guys hair was short black in a pony tail, and he held a staff with small rings on it.
The girl had long black hair tied at the end. She had a pink and white top with a green skirt. A small catlike animal jumped from her shoulder and over to the small squirrel thing. It had two tails.
Claire just blinked and slowly proceeded to walk over to them.
The whole group looked up at her as the man in purple, and the girl with the green skirt whispered to each-other, "Could she know Kagome?"
The girl whispered back, "I don't know Miroku she sure is wearing odd clothing." they both looked up at Claire who was staring down at them.
Kagome walked over to Claire, "Who are you? Are you from my time?" She smiled.
"What? Well….the last thing I remember is leaving my village of Nal…and suddenly being here…" she looked at Kagome still quite bewildered by it all.
Kagome gave a nervous laugh and looked at her like she was weird, "Nal?" in all her studies she had attended at school, she had never heard of such a place.
"Anyways…" Claire began changing the subject, "where is this place? What am I doing here?"
Kagome took her inside with the rest of the group to explain what she was doing there. She explained that it was feudal Japan, and they were fighting someone named Sephiroth to destroy a mystical ring that could be used to take over and destroy the world or something of that nature. They also introduced themselves, Kagome was the girl with the green school dress, Inuyasha the half human dog demon, Sango the demon slayer, Miroku the monk, Shippo the fox demon, and Kirara was the cat with two tails.
She was a little surprised to hear that Shippo was a fox at all!
Suddenly streaming through the village was a loud yet adorable sound., "Puchu! Puchu! Puchu!" it seemed to call. Claire looked out of the hut and saw these adorable little orange things running about. They were destroying the village! They seemed to wear these cute little pink diaper things, and carried wands.
"Oh no!" cried Kagome, "The Puchu's have come!" she grabbed her arrows, and the others grabbed there weapons. They ran from the hut and began to kill the adorable things. Some fell for the Charms of their cuteness like Kagome and Sango, and felt unable to kill such sweet looking things.
Inuyasha seemed unaffected and killed them rapidly. They seemed to turn very ugly when they died. One flew past Claire smacking into the hut and turned it's head saying that, that death was painful with the most gruesome of faces.
Some of the villagers that had fallen' held maces and things, so she joined in and began to bash them into the ground. It was like playing bop the weasel!
The next thing anyone knew a girl with long orange braided hair standing next to a girl with mid length black hair yelled down from a huts top. "HELLO!" Said the vibrant girl with orange hair in her high pitched annoying voice. "This is Excel and Hyatt here! We are under command of the fantastic LORD IL PALAZZO! Puchus! destroy!" She commanded laughing maniacally.
"Umm, first officer Excel?" said the Hyatt lady. Her voice was small and gentle. "The puchu's all seem to be...dead.." she coughed into her hand, a little blood dribbling from her mouth.
The group in the village all stared up in shock as Excel seemed to panic with the news of the dead puchus and began to rapidly mumble something about being thrown into a pit by her lord?
Inuyasha let out a sigh, "Not those idiot's again!" He put his sword in his sheath.
"What just happened?" Claire said tilting her head and feeling utterly confused.
"Those were servants of Sephiroth, they're not much of the threat." Kagome stated, "They're after the ring too! But only I can destroy the ring. They only want it to make more powerful demons other than the puchus to take over." she held out the ring that was around her neck.
Inuyasha hung over Kagome's shoulder staring at the ring, "My precious!" he reached for it his ears twitching anxiously.
"Sit!" Kagome called, "No," she waved her finger in his face. " do you remember what this ring made you do?"
Inuyasha nodded his head shamefully, "Sora…" he looked horrified.
Claire gaped at the two, it was going to be a very long time before she got back. It was going to be a very long journey. But she would help in any way she could for now…
