Yea, well I'm only planning on this being a one chapter thingy to explain how Auzrieal and Inuyasha met. I can write more, though if someone wants to know more about their further relationship. Read my story School Time if you want to see more of them a couple of years later.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and technically I don't even own Auzrieal because she's Jessica's character.


Flashback

Kagome stood in the rain next to the well that would take her back to her own time.

"But why are you leaving? You can stay here with Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kilala, forever. With me." Inuyasha cried out above the rain. He had finally admitted his real feelings, but still Kagome was going.

"This isn't my time Inuyasha. I can't stay here forever. I have to go back…to my friends and family." Kagome tears were washed away by the storm.

"Then I'll go with you." Inuyasha said, never feeling more serious in all of his life. Kagome shook her head.

"You can't Inuyasha. Just as I don't belong here, you don't belong there. Try and forget me." Kagome kissed him softly on the lips, then swung her legs over the edge of the well's side.

Inuyasha came behind her, with every intention of following her. He'd show her that he make himself fit in. But Kagome saw him.

"I'm so sorry Inuyasha." She whispered. "SIT!" she yelled.

As Inuyasha was slammed into the wet mud, Kagome left in a flash of light. Inuyasha immediately got up and jumped too, but it was too late. The portal wouldn't open. Now he was stuck, without Kagome.


Normal POV.

Inuyasha rarely strayed into unknown lands, and never alone. But he hadn't seen his friends since Kagome left. Despite his hardened heart, Inuyasha felt his throat close up. He shook his head. Miroku and Sango had gotten married, and Shippo was 'babysitting' Kilala while they went on their honeymoon. Besides, a 3 day lack of sleep had cheated him out of his usual good senses. Everything went black.

When he woke up, he found a snarling beauty sitting on top of him, green eyes sparkling dangerously.

"What the hell do you think you're doing in my lands, half breed?" she pulled a crossbow out of nowhere and aimed it for him. Shocked, Inuyasha rose up, knocking her off of him.

However, with feline gracefulness, the woman landed on her feet, the crossbow never leaving its target.

He decided to tell her what she wanted to know. "I am Inuyasha and mean no harm to you. If you truly want to kill me, then be done with it. Before hand however, might I know the name of my murderer?" He silently felt pride in his indifferent voice, despite a cold fear gripping his insides. He wasn't acting like himself, but then again he didn't feel like himself; more like he was above his body and his captor, watching the scene unfold.


Auzrieal's POV.

He tried to hide the sadness in his voice and even succeeded, but I saw it reflecting in his eyes. Amber eyes matched with a head full of long silver hair made him nice to look at, but he had a quick temper I noted.

I debated for a moment on whether to tell him my true name, eventually deciding too. After all, what could he do to me that I couldn't do to him faster and harder?

"I am Auzrieal, famed assassin." I spoke with an air of casualness, even though I knew most would be shocked to meet me and still be breathing. Before he could give me a reply, I surprised him.


Inuyasha's POV.

When Auzrieal jumped at me, I thanked every star in the skies for all the times I had trained to perfect my reflexes. Even those couldn't keep her from me for long though.

She was a ferocious fighter, knocking out of me every doubt of mine about whether or not she was truly who she said to be. We tumbled around in the dirt for a few minutes until I remembered to pull out Tetsiega.

She saw it and pulled out two double edged swords. "Where is she hiding all of these weapons?" I wondered, looking at her. She had on tight black jeans and a snug fitting crimson tee shirt. It might have been her black leather jacket, which reached the floor. Unfortunately, my thoughts distracted me and she managed to pin me down in the dust.

Her dark brown hair tickled my face when she leaned close to my face. "I win again, half breed." She teased breathlessly. She was completely covered in dirt and grime. "But she's still hot." I blushed. In truth I hadn't thought of any girl but Kagome in a long time.

She looked at me curiously. "What's the matter? Embarrassed of being beaten by a girl?" she said in an almost angry tone. "No, in truth I wasn't really thinking of my defeat." She eyed me unbelieving.

I looked down and noticed that she was sitting on me again like she had been earlier.

"You know, it really isn't proper for us to keep meeting like this."
