DREAMING DOWN THAT OLD, DIRT ROAD
~Chapter 1~
"Kagura!" Inuyasha shouted
The inu-gang was celebrating after receiving another shard of the shikon no tama when Kagura appeared. She brought with her multiple armed men from a recently slaughtered village.
"Look at the angry little puppy," Kagura chortled. Inuyasha began a low growl, disgustedly trying to suppress his hatred towards the wind sorceress. "What are you waiting for hanyou? Draw that pathetic excuse for a blade already."
(Hanyou = half demon)
The hanyou unsheathed tetsusaiga, and the two foes began to duel.
"Lady Kagome," Miroku hollered while fending off Kagura's mindless puppets. "It is not safe on these grounds! You and Shippo go and hide in those bushes for protection!" The monk then pointed towards the nearby tree-line to his right.
~In the bushes~
"Kagome, are the others going to be alright?" Shippo squeaked from the young miko's shoulder.
"Of course they'll be okay," 'I hope' Kagome added mentally.
At that moment a rustle came from the undergrowth behind them. As the two of them turned around, a man in a large baboon pelt came into view. Large tentacle-like arms darted out towards Kagome and the kitsune, and Kagome let out a terrified shriek.
*Back in the field*
"Aieee!"
Everyone turned towards the scream that was heard from the tree-line. Inuyasha was the first to react. "Kagome!" He cried as he ran towards the distressed miko in the forest. The field space between him and Kagome seemed like it was growing as he raced for the trees.
"What was Miroku thinking, letting her leave our protection?!" Inuyasha mumbled in between long, strenuous breaths.
"He's the one who sent her there, dog-boy. He has sentenced her to death, you might say," Kagura spoke while cutting off Inuyasha's sprint.
Miroku and Sango – registering what had just happened – began to take action. Miroku began to run towards the trees as Inuyasha did, but received a blow to the head once his guard was down. He fell limply to the ground with a large THUMP and lay there in a state of unconsciousness.
"Kirara!"
Sango, on the other hand, called forth Kirara for a ride to the miko's aid. She boarded with ease and they flew with one large leap into the foliage.
They witnessed Kagome wrapped up in one of Naraku's tentacle-things (don't know what their called ^-^), and Shippo in another. Out of reflex and rancor, Kirara leapt at the baboon pelt, digging her sharp fangs into the neck.
A large blast of miasma shot out of Naraku's wound and Sango and Kirara were thrown from the ominous form.
The exterminator was thrown to a nearby tree, knocking her unconscious. The giant cat demon – being in a poisoned state – appeared to somewhat seizure as she painfully reverted to her smaller form. Kagome and Shippo both looked on in horror as Naraku gave a sinister laugh that sent shivers down their spines.
"Anyone that has the gall to challenge a demon such as myself deserves to die, now to rid of the two of you,"
*In the field*
"Stand aside Kagura!"
"Must you protect that pathetic human? It's almost like you love her...and that sickens me"
A growl, once again arose from the silver haired half demon. This time, the sound was not one of disgust, but of anger and malice towards the sorceress.
Inuyasha raised his tetsusaiga above his head and began to study the forest behind Kagura.
"Foolish half breed, you're wasting your time," She stated flatly. "I control the winds which makes using the wind scar impossible,"
"Feh, we'll just see about that," He began to concentrate, not on Kagura, but the tree-line behind her. He saw the two winds collide, and adjusting his grip, slammed the blade down.
"Kazi no kizu!"
Kagura jumped to the side, in an attempt to dodge the blow, but wasn't fast enough. She received a large wound on her right arm, and grabbing her fan in her good arm, prepared to attack Inuyasha from behind. However, she was interrupted from her focus in mid-attack when the trees around Naraku, Kagome and Shippo were demolished by the wind scar.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha saw the girl struggling to escape Naraku's grasp.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome pleaded back to the hanyou. He was panting hard and his weight was leaning on his earth-bound sword.
He ran towards Kagome, caring only for her safety when one of Kagura's wind blades hit him directly in the back, causing the hanyou to fall to the ground. The tetsusaiga was sent flying twenty feet in front of his limp body, which was surrounded by a growing puddle of blood.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried out again. Tears were now falling down her cheeks and being absorbed into her school uniform.
Kagura began to laugh in triumph at the fallen half demon. Her laugh was suddenly cut off by a low, raspy chuckle.
Inuyasha's body began to stir in the crimson pool. "Despicable wench, are you celebrating over a little spilt blood?" As he lifted - blood dripping from his cloths and hair – Kagome noticed his lustful red eyes and the marks on his cheeks outlining his elongated fangs.
"His blood has changed from that of a mere Halfling to a full-blooded demon," Kagura stepped back in fear and confusion. He was demon, but he was also human, and the scent of him now wasn't polluted with that of a human's.
"What's the matter?" He croaked out in his unnatural voice. Kagura was in a dazed state, trying to acknowledge his transformation. She didn't notice herself moving further from him, nor did she notice her hands begin to tremble.
"You cower. You're weak. No matter...You'll be dead soon, anyway," Inuyasha continued.
Actions following words, Inuyasha leapt at Kagura whom was still paralyzed in fear. He tore through flesh and fabrics until a pile of blood and bones lay before him. A low laugh made its way from the inuhanyou's chest as he slowly spun his head in the direction of Naraku and Kagome. His bloody hand reached his face, as he ran his tongue across it.
Kagome looked away in horror as her friend lapped up the blood. Naraku, getting impatient with all the interruptions, tightened his grip on the miko, causing her to moan in pain.
Inuyasha examined his next victims thoroughly. Wanting...needing more blood. Human blood. He bounded towards the action in the recently made clearing, sight set on Naraku's head.
A loud tear was heard as Kagome glanced over at the now decapitated baboon pelt. The grip around her loosened as the rest of Naraku's form vanished leaving a broken piece of wood. Another puppet.
"Inuyasha, are you-"
Kagome was abruptly cut off by that same low laugh from earlier. His full demon features remained and his body was sullied with blood. Some his, the rest not.
'Oh, dear kami! He's still full demon! He slaughtered them both and he's still laughing. He's laughing!' Kagome started to panic when her friend stepped nearer to her. "What are you going to do? Are...are you going to kill me?"
(kami = god)
"Of course not...at least not yet... I thought we'd have a little 'fun'," He replied, now within three feet of Kagome. He pounced on the miko, baring his fangs and flexing his claws.
"Inuyasha, stop!"
~End Chapter 1~
YAY!!! Bet you're pretty mad, huh? It was a pretty fun cliffy to make, too! He, he, he. I hoped you enjoyed the fic and there should be a second chapter up soon! Please review! Even if it was terrible, I need to know...well, I don't NEED to know...but still...REVIEW! You know you want to! Ja!
