My Precedent Taiyoukai

Chapter I: Threads Of Time

"Inuyasha!" Shippo shrieked, calling out the hanyou's name in a sing-song-voice. I looked at Shippo and told him not to be so loud, he smiled boyishly and meekly mumbled a sorry.

"I'm coming, dammit!" Inuyasha yelled back, grumbling under his breath. I had already prepared the Ramen, chicken flavor for Sango and Miroku, beef flavor for Inuyasha and Shippo. I was getting better at making food, but I missed my mom's cooking. Fish and ramen were okay, but I liked the food at my time way better. Miroku quietly sipped the remaining liquid in his soup and I swear I saw his hand inching near Sango's bottom. Sango effortlessly strung the noodles in her chopsticks and slurped gracefully, if you could slurp gracefully. Sango didn't notice Miroku's cursed hand nearing her and than a yelp coming from Sango emitted from her mouth.

"Damn, Monk! What the hell is your problem? You have two cursed hands, one that is a perverted cursed hand and the other your wind tunnel." She screamed, striking him on the head with her boomerang. I ran my hand my through my hair and smiled at Shipp, he was eating the contents right out of the bowl! I giggled at his childish innocent way of eating and then Inuyasha arrived sitting down next to us. He grumbled again though started to eat, not bothering to compliment me on a job well done Well, you got what you got. He grunted a sound of approval and I didn't bother to sit him. Indulging in the in the silent comfort of being surrounded my friends I sighed contently. The sky was a beautiful blue, the clear blue and I reminisced of the times my family would have a picnic. My grandfather always insisted that he should do a chanting spell and he laid those paper spells around us. Souta would chase the birds and feed the ducks, my mother and I prepared the food. We'd all sit down and chat around, actually mother, Souta and I chatted, grandfather complained about anything he could. A light breeze passed by and my black tresses moved around in the wind, Inuyasha's hair lifted up than went straight down. He didn't seem fazed and was frantically eating the noodles, obviously having a race with Shippo. I let out a delightful laugh and Sango laughed with me, Miroku let out a chuckle. Shippo smiled sheepishly and Inuyasha growled telling us to shut our mouths. About to punish him with a round of sittings, I felt the air of dead mist, the smell wasn't pleasant nor was it distasteful. It was a like a plaid taste in your mouth, something you couldn't put your finger on. The image of soul stealers made there way to our sitting and they rested near the dead miko. Kikyo. I sighed, she had been here traveling with us for around a week and she still scared me. Calming down I smiled at her and she returned my smile with her grim blank look. My eyebrows furrowed and she sat down next to Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, hurry. There is a shard near and I don't want it to get away." Kikyo said coldly. Glancing at her Inuyasha shook his yes and slurped up the last bit of his ramen.

"Come on, guys!." Inuyasha commanded.

"Inuyasha, hold on. We must rest down a bit, I am afraid Lady Kagome has reached her limits." Miroku explained, putting down the bowl and handing it to me. Sango nodded and picked up Kirara setting her on her lap.

Before Inuyasha could give in, Kikyo spoke in for him.

"Than, Inuyasha and I will go retrieve the shard. Miko, it has come to my conclusion that you are slowing us down. " Kikyo said acidic. My eyebrows furrowed again and I looked at Inuyasha for any sort of support. His eyes were downcast and I glanced at him unbelievably. Sango eyed the dead priestess and set Kirara down on the ground, standing up.

"Actually, it has come to my conclusion that we do need Kagome. She helps out." Sango defended. I smiled at my friend sincerely, thankful for her defensive of me.

"I agree with Sango, Kagome does assist us in various things. I believe we do need her. I also believe that Inuyasha wishes for her to stay as well, right?" The monk asked.

Inuyasha didn't falter and his eyes remained on the ground.

"I'm not that tired, just let me gather up my things and we can go find the shard." I said, disappointed in Inuyasha's failure to defend me. Nobody disagreed with me and I started to gather up the Ramen bowls. I put them each together and then stuck them in my yellow backpack. Standing up, I heaved the backup on my shoulder and was ready to go.

"Alright, I'm ready guys." I exclaimed.

Inuyasha and Kikyo were ahead of us and Sango told Kirara to turn into her demon form. Sango and Miroku climbed on Kirara and they both lifted me up to her too. We were scarcely there before the fighting began and I could make out Kikyo's figure shooting arrows at the beast. It was big but seemed to not possess all that brain. Inuyasha took out his sword and let out roar charging at the beast. Kikyo stayed behind and resumed her shooting of her arrows, I was awed and was jealous at her perfect aim. Sango jumped away from Kirara, landing safely on her feet and started her attack with her boomerang. I was about the get off of Kirara but Miroku stopped me.

"There is no need for us to assist them, they can handle this situation and you are tired, ne?" Miroku uttered. He was right and as much as I wanted to disagree I kept my mouth shut, nodding in agreement.

We watched the fighting from afar and than Miroku sensing that trouble was happening we came to the battle scene. The beast was smarter than we thought he was, Sango was hurt and was sitting down on the ground. Miroku hurried to the scene and held the demon slayer, before the best could devour Sango, Miroku let out a blast from his wind tunnel. I was envious, someone like that protecting you endlessly, I knew Inuyasha protected me but not like that. I slid of Kirara and she went to her small kitty form and I held her running to Sango. The paw of the demon swiped at me and I tripped, Kirara scattered away to her hurt master and I struggled to get up. On my knees I hurried with my bow and arrow; trying to aim at the beast.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed and I knew he would not be able to make it to me. I closed my eyes and waited for the deafening blow that would bring me to death. Silence. Pure silence. Nothing. I peeked and than fluttered open my eyes, Kikyo was standing behind me and she had protected me from the swipe of the demon. Yet I was sad, how could she run over here and shoot an arrow and I couldn't even aim one. I mumbled a thank you and she scoffed at me in irritation. The shard fell out and she caught it with a swipe of her hand, she purified it and threw it to me. I clenched the shard in my hand and Miroku came to me, holding up Sango by his arm.

"Are you okay, Lady Kagome?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay." I replied, I stood up and brushed off the dirt from my skirt.

"Come, let's get back to Kaede."

We sat around the pot of tea, boiling and the steam blew out from its chute. Miroku gave us each a cup of tea and handed around the tea-cups. Shippo begged us for the details of our fight and Sango told him everything. He grinned and smiled.

"That's awesome!" He grinned.

"No it's not. Damned wench almost got herself killed." Inuyasha grumbled.

"No I didn't! It was almost, its not liked you never got almost killed." I protested, sipping furiously on my tea.

"Shut up! You almost did too! I always have to save you!" He grumbled.

"I never asked you to save me!" I shot back.

He glanced at me than let out a string of profanities.

"Now, please. We shouldn't fight." Miroku sighed.

"Its that damn wench, always getting in trouble!"

"OSUWARI!" I screamed and he launched into the floor.

"Stupid. Damned. Wench." He coughed out, spitting the dirt out.

"Shut-up!" I yelled.

"If you would only be like Kikyo! You do slow us down!" He yelled back. I looked at him with determination in my eyes.
"Don't you dare put the Kikyo shit on me!" I threatened.

"What shit? She is better than you. All you can do is cook. All you do is scream for help, its annoying! I'm tired of protecting you!" He roared.

"Fine! Protect Kikyo than." I said, not yelling anymore.

"I will! She doesn't even need to be protected. Just go away Kagome." He replied.

"I will go away!" I shrieked. The weight in my throat was bigger and I struggled to keep the tears inside. I grabbed my yellow backpack and ran out of the village in anger.

"She's gonna come back. She always does. " Inuyasha assured the group.

"Stupid Dog! You always make Kagome mad!" Shippo howled.

Inuyasha ignored him and sipped at his tea, clenching the glass in annoyance.

"I say its for the best. She was slowing us down. She left the shards here, our mission will go by much faster." Kikyo commented.

I wasn't going to cry, I always cried. This would be different, I would not cry.

In the process of running, I tripped over a root and the dirt stained my skirt.

I laid down on my back and looked at the large trees. I turned to the side, too tired to stand up or move. I wanted my mother, I wanted Souta, and still yet I wanted Inuyasha. Those memories flooded back to me and I remembered the countless times he actually said something sweet.

"I wish we could stay like that forever." I whispered, but he loved Kikyo and I knew it. No matter how much he was ignorant, he kept his promises. He would stay by her side and would enter hell with her no matter what.

I was so mad at fate, I was so made at time. Why did they bring me here? I could have stayed in my time and went to college and gotten married and all.

"Stupid threads of time." I muttered.

Something was around my leg and I lay my hand on it fearfully. It was just a root so I pulled it off. I tried to pull of it, it didn't budge so I sat up and tried to move it. It wrapped around harder and it swung me to the side that I almost hit the side of the trunk. I was shocked, they had moving trees in the feudal era, my god. I was mistaken, but I didn't know. I thrashed about to let the roots untangled themselves from my legs. I finally got away and an area in the total darkness of the forest called to me. I ran in that direction, believing that it was instinct.

"AH!" I screamed and I fell down and down and down. It was like a never ending black whole, the one in your bad dreams.

"Oof!" I rubbed my bottom and I yelped in pain.

"Check her out, she looks nice."

"We have not time to look at women, Come on get their belongings."

"Please, don't' hurt us, take whatever you want, put please."

"Stop your whining, wench."

"Let me just grab the girl and you get the stuff. We'll be double happy."

"Fine, fine. Hurry up."

The man tried to grab me and I wriggled out his grasp, he was a bandit obviously and I tried to run.

"Oh no you don't." He chuckled going after me. The other man grabbed the stolen goods and followed out.
I looked back and kept running, I slam went whack into someone. I fell back and I was faced with golden orbs.

Oh my god, it was Sesshomaru. There was something about his eyes, his face. He was still cold, but a little less cold and he looked so young. I mean not younger than me or anything but he was somehow different. His hair was longer but was pulled into a middle height pony-tail. His hakami, his obi, his haouri, everything about his clothing was different. It was a different color but somehow it was the same as before. He didn't have his chest armor like he used too and he had two arms!

"You there. What has caused you to trespass on my father's lands, if you do not return those stolen goods and release the human I can assure you that you will be severely punished by my blade."
