Fragments

Kagome sighs as she smiles and looks up towards the pristine blue skies overhead. It still amazed her how much cleaner the air smelled in the Feudal era and how serene it was. Despite the warring of the era, Kaedae's village had remained a bastion of peace for herself and the rest of the gang. Falling backwards from her seated position she lies on her back and stares at the sky just enjoying the sound of the wind. The grass sways gently in the tumbling wind, creating a soothing almost beach sound.

"Hey Kagome," Inuyasha shouts in his typical disregard for subtlety in any form. "Where have you gotten off to now?" He manages to sound mildly annoyed, though Kagome sees right through the act.

He's just worried. She thinks as she pushes herself up. Still, he usually doesn't come looking for me like this unless something is up. "Over here Inuyasha!" Kagome yells back, knowing he probably already had traced her location by scent.

Only a few seconds later he comes sprinting over the hill crest clad in his red kimono, the only outfit he ever wore practically. She had managed, once, to get him wear something else but it had been such of a hassle that she could not find the drive to try again. Which is going to make going home so much harder once we have recovered all the shards of the Shikon no Tama. Though clothing would probably be the least of the problems he'd have adjusting to the modern era.

"Hey Kagome, stop day dreaming and hurry up!" Inuyasha snaps, his ears twitching in annoyance. "The villagers have spotted some strange guy hanging around the Bone Eaters well and the old woman thinks he might be a demon."

"A demon?" Kagome inquires, brushing aside Inuyasha's rude comment. She could 'sit' him later. "What makes Kaedae think this guys a demon?"

"I dunno, personally I think the old bats finally lost it. I haven't caught whiff of any demons scent around here." Inuyasha snorts looking back towards the village. "Besides, she said the guys been standing there for like two days or something like that. I definitely would have smelt a demon standing nearby for two days."

Kagome shakes her head at Inuyasha. He insisted on making fun of Kaedae even after all the times she had patched him up after his various demon fights. He's not very good with expressing emotions. I guess it's just his way. "Well lets head back and check with Kaedae before we investigate. Are Miroku and Sango still away helping another village with a demon problem?"

"Yeah, fortunately they took the squirt with them too. Ever since Naraku went missing all sorts of demons have been crawling out from under their rocks." Inuyasha sighs, wishing he could get his hands on that bastard. "So lets hurry and deal with whoever this guys is so we can get back to finding the Jewel shards."

"I guess it makes sense, with Naraku missing he's left an enormous power vacuum and…"

"Every demon and his brother is looking to fill it, I know. Can we get going already?" Interrupting Kagome as he slams his fist into a nearby tree.

"Alright, lets go."

Almost immediately after the words left her mouth Inuyasha picks her up and begins rushing full speed towards the village. If this guy really is a demon he might have a Jewel shard. Inuyasha thinks, already anticipating the battle. If so I am going to need Kagome for this one. With that pervert monk and Sango gone, it meant he would be basically going into battle alone but that was fine by him. It's not any of the demons that had been showing up lately had even been remotely worth his time.

Not to far away, along the outskirts of the town lies the Bone Eaters well. So named for the demon bones cast into it to be disposed of. It also served as a gateway between the feudal era and the modern era. Standing beside the well is a relatively tall man. His posture is rigid and unyielding, making his 6' 2" height very apparent. Draped on his wide shouldered frame is a dark blue, almost black kimono styled very much like Inuyasha's with a few minor changes. The sleeves do not bell out but remain the same width along their length. Underneath the blue is a crimson undershirt, the barest edges of which can be seen. A large, straw hat covers his head and blocks any good view of his face. Staring down into the depths of the well, he waits. All clues have pointed to this location. It was ironic twist that might have been amusing at one point, that he would return here. Reaching towards his back he grips the handle of his sword and frees it from its sheath on his back. Nearly as tall as he was, a foot thick and at least an inch of two thick along the back of the blade it is a monster of a weapon. Looking upon the blades gleaming surface he sees that the runes are indeed glowing a low blue. Someone with Jewel shards was approaching.
