It will be FAR OUT (not like two guys getting together or nothing - that's just strange to me) but I hope you like it I will try to keep myself down xD MUWHAHAHAHA! SHES BACK AGAIN!
Chapter 1: Introduction
Full summary - Inuyasha remembers. He remembers every moment of it. Every detail of the day his sister was murdered right in front of his eyes by the villagers. Now, him and the gang searching for the Shikon no Tama, a girl that has a strong resemblance of his sister, catches his eye. Could this be Azalie? How? How could she be alive? His mother had told him that she didn't survive. But could that have been a lie? Could this girl truly be his sister?
Kagome listened to the rhythmof the rain against the top of the umbrella, then looked up at Inuyasha who was focused on the path ahead. He, being his stubborn self, had made her and the rest of the gang walk to the next village even though the rain had not stopped since the night before. But she didn't really mind. It was quiet and it had been a while since she had an excuse to wrap her arm around his, being able to hold her body close to his and feel the warmth of his skin right through his kimono.
"What?" Inuyasha's voice broke her from her thoughts, and she realized he had caught her staring at him.
"O-oh nothing." Kagome turned her face the opposite way, trying to hide the fact that she was blushing deeply. Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow in confusion. Miroku, having been watching the two of them, chuckled and shook his head slowly, not being surprised at all that Inuyasha couldn't even catch on.
Kagome peeked back then quickly turned back to the opposite direction, seeing that Inuyasha was still staring at her dumbfounded. She was glad at least that he was too dumb to catch the slightest clue.
The awkward silence was broken when Sango's voice bellowed in anger. She turned and slapped the lecherous monk on the cheek, the force pushing him back, losing his balance and falling in the mud. For once, Kagome was glad that Miroku was perverted and couldn't keep his hands to himself, for now Inuyasha was smirking wildly at the monk as they walked past him.
Miroku stood up, shaking his arms once to try and get some of the mud off of his back. He wasn't surprised to see no one was going to wait for him.
"Hey! Wait!"
"Ugh! Finally, I can see a village up ahead!" Kagome said happily, even though Miroku was the one that was the most happy to be in view of a village. His whole body was soaked from his head down to his toes, since Sango refused to let him under the umbrella and made him walk in the rain for punishment.
As they neared the village, their attention lay on a large hut, preferably a place where they served food for the villagers. A man's voice bellowed angrily, and the door of the hut swung open. A girl about Kagome's age fell backwards into the mud. A plump man came out holding a large knife and swung it at her once.
"Get out o' here you stupid half-breed! Git!" the man yelled. The girl stood up slowly and started walking off. The man turned back to the hut and disappeared.
The girl hung her head low as she got closer to the gang, never looking up. Her black hair clung to her neck over her shoulder as the rain poured on her back. They couldn't help but stare at the scars that surrounded her arms.
The was two feet from them, and stopped in front of them. She slowly lifted her head, her silver eyes clouded over with hate. She looked away and passed them, not looking back.
When the gang turned back to watch her walk away, she wasn't there. She disappeared in seconds, leaving nothing behind.
"So this girl has been around before?" Miroku asked. The gang had gone into the diner place where the plump man who ran off the girl earlier worked.
"Yeah. That girl has been around, tryin' to sneak out with food. And a couple times she got away with some pricey meat in other places in the village! But this time I saw right through it!" the man said, like he had achieved something difficult for any ordinary person.
"What do you mean 'Saw right through it'?" Sango asked calmly.
"She came in with a long brown cape, the hood pulled up. Tonight we were quite full of people so she thought she could sneak in with ease and run off with some food. But I'm not fooled that easily!" He said and laughed, his large stomach moving up and down as his laugh bellowed throughout the diner.
"Do you know her name?" Kagome cut in, just to stop his annoying laughter.
"'Course not! But the village calls her the Night Raider. She been sneakin' in huts at night sometimes and steals their food. But I just call her a curse upon the world." The whole time he was speaking, he glared at Inuyasha in the corner of the hut, his hands in his kimono sleeves.
"What do you mean?" Miroku asked, taking his turn in the conversation.
"She's a half-breed! Born a plague upon the world! She come around again, I'm gonna tie her up and whip 'er a couple times, get it through her head good so she don't come around again."
Inuyasha growled and stood up, pushing the hut door open and left the hut. The door slammed behind him, and the hut went silent for a minute.
"What's the matter wit' him?" Pretending he didn't know Inuyasha was also a half breed.
Kagome stood up and left the hut after Inuyasha, even though the rain was still falling. Once outside, she looked around. She didn't see him. She walked out a little then looked over at a tall tree left of the hut. She peered up and saw Inuyasha sitting on the top branch, his back against the trunk.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome yelled up, cupping her hand on the side of her mouth so her voice would travel up to him. He looked over the edge, then looked back up and tried ignoring her. "Inuyasha! Don't ignore me!" she yelled. Inuyasha sighed, knowing she wouldn't give up. He jumped down in front of her, grabbed her by the sides and jumped back up to the top branch. He sat back, letting her fall gently against his chest.
They sat there silently for a moment, then Kagome shifted herself to face him.
"Don't worry about what he said. He is just a fat old man." Kagome said, trying to cheer him up unsuccessfully.
"Its not that." Inuyasha said coolly.
"What? Then what's the matter?" she said, confused.
"It's that girl. I don't know, something about her, it reminded me of someone."
"That girl? Who'd she remind you of?"
"Inuyasha? Kagome?" A voice came. They both looked over the edge, and saw Sango and Miroku, their hands cupped over their mouth and calling their names several times. The plump man was leaning against the wall, smiling.
"Up here!" Kagome yelled. They all looked up and smiled.
"Come on. It's getting late you two, we need to find a place to stay!" Sango called up. Inuyasha grabbed hold of Kagome's waist and jumped down, glad that he didn't have to answer Kagome's last question.
"What? Only one hut is available!" Sango said angrily.
"Sorry, but we have had a lot of people come in needing a place to stay." The woman said calmly. "But it does have four beds so you each will have your own bed to sleep in." they could tell the woman was enjoying this.
"Fine. We'll take it."
That night, Inuyasha sat in the corner of the room. Like he would ever sleep in a bed. But that wasn't all of it. He couldn't sleep. That girl's face was stuck in his thoughts. She reminded him so much of Azalie. So much of his little sister. But why? It wasn't just a coincidence that she looked like her.
Her eyes, they had once been beautiful that sparkled in the moonlight and now they were fazed over with hatred. Hatred for humans. But still, he could see Azalie in that girl. And she wasn't just an illusion, even though she had disappeared in seconds. He knew she was real. This whole day was real. And luck was on his side when Sango interrupted him and Kagome when she asked him who that girl reminded him of. He sighed and rested his chin on his hand. It was going to be a long night.
