Hello. I am NinjaGirl345, but please, call me Ninja. This is my first InuYasha fanfiction, with more on the way. I, sadly, do not own any of the InuYasha universe, but I do own my half-demon cat Koneko. I hope you enjoy my attempts at another InuYasha movie.
Prologue
InuYasha ran through the forest, his thoughts blazing. Where is she? I can't find her anywhere!
He stopped for a moment, sniffing the air, trying to find Koneko's scent. At first, he couldn't smell anything accept fresh grassy scents, but soon he caught a scent he recognized: Koneko. He not only smelled her, but he could smell a demon too. InuYasha took off again, trying to catch up with them. As he ran along, a demon jumped out from a bush, roaring at him. InuYasha had no time to mess around with a demon, so he tried to avoid it. But it followed him, so he had decided to take it out.
"I'll teach ya to mess with me!" InuYasha jumped and prepared to strike the demon. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" The demon trembled after the blow, than collapsed. InuYasha laughed. "Serves you right, you pathetic demon!" He felt great, until his thoughts returned to Koneko.
I have to find you, Koneko. InuYasha took off, until he found his way into a meadow filled with flowers. It looked almost peaceful, accept for two figures fighting in the distance, tearing up flowers as the dueled. InuYasha looked close, trying to figure out who they were. One was a demon, and the other... Koneko! Koneko, a half demon like InuYasha, was fighting off the demon. However, she was badly wounded, having a deep gash in her side. Pools of her blood covered the ground below her. InuYasha was horrified.
I'm gonna kill that demon and save her! InuYasha jumped up, pushing Koneko out of the way. "InuYasha-!" InuYasha looked at her, and saw that her eyes were glazed with weakness. "Koneko-!" The demon trampled along, coming towards Koneko.
"InuYasha! Help! Please…." InuYasha ran up and clawed at the demon. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!"
The demon fell down and stopped moving. InuYasha turned and looked at Koneko. Koneko was still bleeding, and she had collapsed on the ground beside him. InuYasha ran to her and tried to help her get up, but instead she remained sitting, and his hands were covered with her blood. Koneko looked at him, with a faint smile on her face. "InuYasha, I'm glad you saved me, but…." She stopped, as if afraid to go on.
"What? Spit it out!" She finally continued, her voice filled with pain. "I think I overdid it this time…." InuYasha felt almost breathless, his thoughts racing. Koneko? What are you trying to-? With realization at her words, he felt hallow all of a sudden. Does this mean it's the end? He looked at her, and even though she looked defeated, she was still smiling. Anger filled him as he yelled at her, believing he could've prevented this. "Why didn't you wait for me? I could've stopped them! Then you wouldn't be-!"
"InuYasha", she whispered, her breath coming in gasps, "Please. Come here." He looked at her, his eyes loosing the anger and being replaced by an unusual softness. "I have something for you." InuYasha bent lower, his face so close to Koneko's that they almost touched. Koneko slowly moved her arm, the effort paining her. She reached towards her neck and pulled out a pouch with a single cord wrapped around it.
"Take this." InuYasha was still shocked. What is she doing? Giving that to me... but why?
"InuYasha..." Koneko seemed to read his mind. "Please, InuYasha. Take this, and keep it for me. I want you to...", she stopped. She tried to go on, but the pain seemed too unbearable for her. She let out a cry, InuYasha holding her.
"Please, Koneko... Take it easy." Koneko looked into his eyes, her pain dulling them. But then, a spark lit them as she tried to continue.
"InuYasha, I want you to keep this to remember me by. Think of it as a gift, for all the things you did for me. See this?", she opened the pouch, revealing a stone filled with glittering gems, "You remember this? The day we saw the shooting star, and you made a promise to me…." Koneko stopped, and she went still. Her arm fell to her side, and her eyes closed. InuYasha felt dumbstruck. Koneko can't be dead! It can't be true!
InuYasha pulled her up and shook her a bit, trying to wake her, but not hurt her. It was futile; the girl was dead. InuYasha looked up into the sky, tears falling from his eyes. He yelled at the sky, as if it would bring her back.
"Koneko! Don't leave me! Koneko-!"
InuYasha woke with a start, his heart racing and cold sweat running down his neck. He felt exhausted, like what happened in his dream was real, but he knew it was all in the past.
That happened almost 100 years ago. I almost forgot how it happened…But how could I ever forget? That was one of the worst days of my life. He looked down at his wrist, where Koneko's bracelet was. Ever since the day she died, he wore it in her honor. But, somehow, he must have forgotten it, since he hadn't thought of her since.
I've been havin' this dream over and over again since…InuYasha realized that he started to have his dream after Kikyo died by Naraku's poison. Of course! Kikyo's death must've brought this memory back! InuYasha took out the pouch, having been around his neck all this time, and put it into his palm. He could still smell Koneko's scent, although very faint. He grasped it, hoping to rekindle those lost memories. She had long gray hair, and bright green eyes. Then, InuYasha heard rustling from across him. He quickly put the bracelet into his clothes, just in time to see Miroku sit up.
"Hello, InuYasha. Are you feeling alright?" After some silence, Miroku went on. "You seem to be troubled. Did you have a nightmare?" InuYasha snorted, replying, "Miroku, demons never have nightmares! Besides…I wanted to take watch next." Miroku seemed to not believe him, but instead agreed.
"Okay. But remember, InuYasha, we're always here to help." Miroku layed down, while InuYasha remained up, keeping an eye on the others. Miroku didn't know how close his question was to the truth, but InuYasha couldn't bear to tell anyone. For the rest of the night, InuYasha remained there, knowing that he couldn't sleep, fearing he would see Koneko's blood- riddled body and be unable to save her.
Hello. I want you all to know a few things before you crticize me:
1. This is my first fanfiction on this site, so excuse my confusion on some features.
2. This takes places after Kikyo's death and before Kanna's death (sorry if I spoiled it for ya).
3. I have plenty of chapters already made for this story, along with a few others, so I should be updating often before school starts.
4. Please feel free to comment on my stories, but please don't critique me too harshly. I try to write as best and originally as I can. If you have a problem, please let me know, but not just to be mean. I always wanna improve as an author.
Thanks for reading my story. More to come soon. Ninja is out; Peace!
