First and foremost, hi! I stumbled across this site by accident and I have
been hooked. I decided to write my first fiction story and, well, it's on
my favorite Anime series. I am hoping that this will be interesting, I have
decided to take the tips of some writers I have come across and just enjoy
the story I am writing. Hopefully you will all enjoy it as much as I
enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to review and even flame, anything
will be appreciated. Now on with the story;
Chapter 1: Inuyasha's Childhood Memories
Evening was slowly melting into night as the little group came clear of the forest. They proceeded into the village and made straight for the hut of the old Miko, Kaede-sama. The promise of a hot meal and a comfortable bed made them all hasten their footsteps towards the little hut in the distance. She was already outside waiting for them as they came up the hill. The women went in first with Inuyasha bringing up the rear. The smell of cooking food, and the warmth of the hut relaxed them all somewhat, as they sat around the little stove watching Kaede ladle out the soup and rice cakes.
It had been another wearying day of looking for the shards of the Shikon-no-Tama and battling the horrible monstrosities that possessed the shards. Most of all, the women were extremely tired and just wanted to get some rest. They all ate in silence, each one lost in his or her own thoughts.
After the meal, Inuyasha stretched himself, got up, and went outside to find a nice, tall tree he could sleep in. being an Inu-youkai, the prospect of staying in a stifling little hut made him uneasy. Going to the back of Kaede's hut, he found a tall oak tree. Without wasting time clambering to the top, he took a huge leap and settled himself between two branches that formed a sort of cradle.
Night had fully arrived and most of the villagers had retired to their respective homes, save a few elders who had decided that now was their time. The moon was full tonight and the atmosphere in the village was one of quiet ease.
Inuyasha straddled the two branches and hung his left leg over the side, his back against the tree trunk and his right hand resting on the hilt of Tetsuiga, the Sword of Power. The Sword many youkai vied after, not excluding his stupid brother, Seshomaru.
Not just any youkai could have their very fangs forged into a weapon, especially a weapon of such power as the Tetsuiga. Only especially strong youkai could achieve such a thing. It had been forged from the fang of Sugumi, father to Inuyasha and Seshomaru and great Lord of the Western lands. Todosai the most famed youkai blacksmith, had been commissioned by Sugumi to fashion out two swords from his fangs, swords of power and healing. Tetsuiga and Tensaga, which Seshoamru now held.
Inside the hut, Shippo and Sango had already fallen fast asleep. Miroku sat cross-legged against the wall of the hut, arms crossed and his staff cradled safely between them. He stared at the figure of the sleeping Sango and wondered if maybe now wasn't the most opportune time to, perhaps, "adjust' her, seeing as how uncomfortable she looked. At that moment, a fly perched itself on Sango's backside and she swatted it with such force that it splattered against her rump. Then again, thought the Houshi, maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea. Kaede looked on with a glint of amusement in her eye as she prepared to clear up the remainder of the food.
Kagome had finished her meal and sauntered outside. She loved the how quiet it was, reveling in the moonlight which allowed her to see the stars clearly. Oh how the stars shone tonight, perhaps they knew how she felt about their brightness and they seemed to get brighter and brighter. She wondered where Inuyasha had gone off to. She knew she was going to regret what she was about to do, but she had no intention of wandering up and down, looking for the cantankerous hanyou. She walked over to the tall oak tree, not knowing he was there and yelled
"Inuyasha, OSUWARU!!"
An all too familiar yell greeted her ears. The sign that he WAS nearby and the sit command had got him. She nearly jumped out of her skin, however, when she heard the crashing of a large object from the tree.
For about 3 seconds, Inuyasha laid face-down on the earth. Recovering, he jumped up and yelled. "KAGOME!! How dare you do that you stupid girl?"
Kagome had run behind Miroku and Kaede, who had rushed out to se what the ensuing commotion was about.
"S...sorry?" whimpered Kagome behind the two who shielded her. "I was looking for you and I didn't feel like wandering about, oh dear."
Lady Kaede and Miroku tried their best to placate the vexed hanyou, all the while also trying to hide their amusement, knowing it would further anger the already ruffled hanyou.
Eventually he settled down and sat, with is back against the tree, glaring balefully at Kagome. He grumbled within himself at the annoying sit enchantment that had been placed on him by the Lady Kaede. It caused him great consternation that Kagome used it a lot, especially when she felt he was bothering the annoying Kitsune, Shippo.
The old Miko0 and the Houshi had decided to stay outside with the two, making sure that there were no more confrontations between them. As if that were possible!
At that moment, Shippo woke up. Alarmed at not seeing his beloved Kagome near him, he rushed out of the hut, yelling "Kagome, Kagome!"
"Back here Shippo-chan." Called out Kagome and he rushed towards the sound of the voice. He buried himself into the arms of the girl. His love of the strange human girl from the future was understandable. Kagome was kind and loving and he had lost his entire family. She was like a mother to the little Kitsune, protecting him, especially from the grumpy hanyou. He purred contentedly in her arms.
Sango was also awakened when the fox-cub had bowled into her in his haste to leave the hut. She walked round to where the group was, grumpily. Sitting herself next to Miroku, she shot him a very nasty look as if to warn him not to get any funny ideas. The relationship between the two was very funny; Miroku was very fond of the tajiya woman and she returned his affections, to a certain degree.
Eventually the group settled down, Inuyasha forgetting his earlier annoyance at Kagome, who nestled her head on the hanyou's shoulders. Sango and Miroku had also adopted the same position, albeit with Sango making sure the Houshi's hands were in front of him. He rested his back against the wall of the hut. Kaede sat cross=legged on a mat and viewed, with satisfaction, the ease with which they all were.
Night deepened and the moon and stars shone all the more brighter, illuminating the group and they sat under the giant oak tree. They had forgotten all their former worries and were at peace.
Well, that ends that. I guess I just wanted to set the mood for the rest of the story. I hope I did a good job however. Please feel free to review this and tell me what you think. My email address is bunmiadefisayoyahoo.com. You can review on the site and/or mail me. Also, I am hoping that you could understand the little words in Japanese. I watched the Japanese editions of the Anime and I preferred them to the Cartoon-Network English dubbing, so I used some words I heard on the series. I am too tired and lazy to put down the translations, but I believe they are self-explanatory.
Please enjoy this and tell me what your thought are, although it is a tad bit early, but still... :LOL.
