Chapter 1-The Follower
The night sky had looked so amazing when it was lit up with stars like this. Never had Kagome seen so many stars in her life time. It was always like this when she came to the feudal era. This being one of the many reasons why she loved it so much. Another being for her very loving and caring friends. And the last was him. The one who had started it all from the very beginning. The one who had the name that could scare off many people, and the name that had really started it. Inuyasha. Him, it was why she had still been coming. Not because she had to finish collecting the jewel shards. She could have stopped doing that along time ago if she had really wanted to. But she also just wasn't crewel like that. And probably wouldn't have done that anyways.
But because she loved him so much. Even when he was being a cruel jerk. Kagome sat up and looked around. She was sitting a little away from the main gates to Kaede's village by herself. Everyone else was inside Kaede's hut doing who knows what. Kagome just wanted to be alone for a while, and she had told every one this. To her surprise even Inuyasha had listened to her and sat down with every one else. Usually he would follow her until she would 'sit' him or something.
"Maybe you should go and see if something's wrong Inuyasha," Sango suggested when Inuyasha had said something about Kagome being gone for a while.
Inuyasha gave a her, a why me look? But when he got a mean look from her back he rolled his eyes and left the hut. He sniffed the air and when he caught Kagome's sent he ran towards it. He came to a stop when he saw her sitting up and looking up at the night sky. He walked up to her and sat down right next to her. Kagome, jumping a little to the sudden sight of Inuyasha looked over at him. He hadn't been looking up at her, his eyes had been looking up at the sky.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome said, getting his attention.
"Yeah?" he asked looking at her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, seeming like she had cared. Truly she had wished Inuyasha would have come and sat down next to her earlier. He just shrugged his shoulders and looked back up at the sky. Kagome did the same as Inuyasha.
I could tell her now. I really should, but...ah...I'm to afraid to. The only thing I cant do is say three simple little words, Inuyasha thought to himself as Kagome's sweet scent passed threw his noise. When he new Kagome was looking up at the sky he couldn't help but look at her. She was smiling so happily that Inuyasha was sure her smile was piercing threw him. Though she wasn't smiling at him, Inuyasha couldn't help but smile at her as if Kagome's smile was meant for him. One part of him was telling him that Kagome loved him just as much as he loved her. But then another part of him was telling him that she didn't. But why? The one side would always argue the other, and the one that would always win would be the side that thought she didn't love him.
"Want to go for a walk?" Inuyasha asked after a long period of silence.
Kagome looked at him for a split second, a bit confused but finally nodded and stood to her feet. Inuyasha stood as well and they both started to walk towards the forest. It was just like a habit every time they had walked together like this. Only, this time it seemed more peaceful when they walked.
Inuyasha saw Kagome looking to her right and decided to actually get closer to her. She looked at him and smiled, not really thinking of what he had just done. He slightly smiled back and then looked ahead of him. He sniffed the air and caught a scent of something strange. A low growl escaped his mouth and he grabbed Kagome by her wrist. She didn't bother to fight back with him. She had heard his growl of warning to something around them, and caught onto this very fast.
Inuyasha knew the scent. It was very familiar. He had smelled it once before when him and Kagome were alone like this. Only he had never seen the demon. And last time Inuyasha wasn't acting like this. Something was telling him that the demon was here for Kagome this time. It had been on her side, and Inuyasha just knew that it was looking at her. He looked up at the tree and saw to red eyes staring down at Kagome just like he had guessed. He didn't make it noticeable that he saw the demon. But when Inuyasha let out a small growl from before the demon know that Inuyasha knew about his presence and was being very careful.
There was no point for the demon to run away. It knew that with Inuyasha's keen hearing he would be able to hear the demon rustling threw the tree leaves. So he just decided to reveal himself by jumping down from the tree. He landed in front of Kagome and sneered. Immediately Inuyasha jumped in front of and let out another low growl.
"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha asked.
"Me? Why I'm Tatsu the dragon demon. And who is that who I see standing behind you?" he asked.
Tats was a little taller then Inuyasha. He had a pale face, and dark green emerald eyes. His hair was red and not to short, but short. Claws, very sharp claws, were visible on his hands. And fangs as well. He had a dragon like tale, and feet.
"Why do you want to know?" Inuyasha asked, his hand reaching down for the tetsusaiga.
Tatsu, who didn't really seem to notice Inuyasha pulling his sword out, stared at Kagome.
"Pretty…very pretty. Hm…I see the half demon here hasn't marked you yet," Tatsu said to Kagome.
"No one is going to mark her!" Inuyasha shouted, becoming pissed. He wiped his word out and smacked Tatsu back with it. When Tatsu got to his feet he saw Inuyasha standing in front of Kagome with the tetsusaiga in front of him, and Kagome standing behind him. Her hand was clenched onto his shoulder as if she were about to lose him.
"Well if your not going to mark her half breed then why not let me do it?" He grinned, and looked at Kagome again.
That was it, he had pissed Inuyasha off. Before he could say anything Inuyasha had been running towards him with the tetsusaiga about to meet the floor.
"WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha yelled. A yellow light flashed from the end of his sword and beamed quickly towards Tatsu. Amazingly Tatsu had jumped out of the way with his tail. But now he was landing right in front of Inuyasha. The light had blinded him, making it impossible for him to see where to jump. Making it easy for Inuyasha to take him down. Inuyasha slashed at Tatsu and had just missed when Tatsu tripped him with his tail. Then he wrapped his tail around Inuyasha and slammed him into the floor. Quickly Inuyasha stood to his feet and once again yelled 'wind scar'. This time he had hit Tatsu. But not like he had wanted. Instead Tatsu had somewhat dodged the attack, but in the attempt his arm and tail were struck. He grinned evilly at Inuyasha before jumping into a tree and disappearing quickly.
"Inuyasha! Are you okay?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha walked up to her.
He looked at the tree and nodded, then looked back at Kagome. His eyes met her, and he locked. He couldn't help but stare into her brown eyes. He took in her scent and his heart skipped a few beats. Before either of them knew it, Inuyasha had been moving closer to her.
Is it just me, or are his eyes getting closer? Kagome asked in her mind. She hadn't really cared, but her heart was pounding so fast and hard she was able to hear it.
Inuyasha blinked once before moving even closer. He had gotten so close to her that Kagome could feel the warmth of his breath brushing against her lips. Every time he would exhale she would shudder, and get more goose bumps then she already had.
