Hey everyone! I hope you remember me! I'm Advanceinulover25 and I'm rewriting my first story "A New Member of the Family". I haven't read, seen or heard from this story in a while. Now that I've upgraded a bit, I can rewrite this story with a bit more detail. I hope you all enjoy this story as equally as it came out and let me know what you all think :D
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha but this is my original story so please enjoy!
The refreshing summer night wind was howling in the wind, moon bright in the sky and the stars twinkling brightly surrounding the moon. The moon made a great light for the pathway leading from the woods to the village. Lucky for a group of five that was just know walking through this pathway.
"How much longer?" a women with raven hair with chocolate eyes said. She wore a white blouse matched with a green skirt, brown shoes and red scarf. She was also carrying around a bow and a quiver of arrows.
"We should be heading close now. Don't worry Kagome," a man replied to the women's questions named Kagome. He had dark brown hair pulled back into a small ponytail and brown eyes; he wore monk robes (purple and black) with wooden sandals and carried around a monk staff.
"I hope so, my feet are killing me," another woman answered back. She had long brown hair that traveled down to her waist and brown eyes as well. She wore a warrior kimono that was white and purple top and a green skirt. She carried a giant bone boomerang and also, resting on her shoulder was a cat demon with two tails and diamond mark on her forehead.
"I just hope they have food there, I'm starving!" a boy exclaimed. He was a fox demon child who had red hair pulled into a fluffy ponytail. He wore hakami (please correct me if I'm wrong) pants that were blue matching with an even lighter blue top. He had fox paws for feet and held around all of his fox magic in his shirt. He even had a fluffy gold tail.
"Yeah, but I'd rather have that instant noodle stuff Kagome gets," another man said. He was also a demon but not just any ordinary demon; he was a half-demon. He had long silver hair that traveled down below his waist. He had bright gold eyes and two silver dog ears on-top of his head. He had claws and fangs and wore a robe of red match with red hakami pants.
"Well whatever food they give us, will be appreciated," the man named Miroku said.
"Please all you care about are the women that will serve us," the boy named Shippo replied.
"I do not! When have I ever?" Miroku replied in defense.
"Gee I don't know, maybe about every time we wonder off to a new village!" the women named Sango exclaimed.
"Face it monk, your nothing but lecher!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"Kagome help me out here," Miroku pleaded.
"Sorry Miroku, but you got yourself into this mess, you have to find a way out of it," Kagome said.
The group had just defeated a demon that contained a shard of the Shikon no Tama; a jewel that could grant any wish in the world, but with dire consequences. The jewel was made up of four elements: Knowledge, Courage, Friendship and Love. Together combined with an evil and pure soul created the Shikon no Tama; if found by the wrong hands of a demon or human, the jewel would turn black and hold the light of impurity however, if found by the hands of someone pure, the jewel would turn a bright pink, signaling its purity. Kagome had accidently shattered the jewel when saving a small boy carried away by a raven demon. When she hit the bird with her arrow, it hit the jewel in the process, causing the jewel to shatter and scatter across Japan. The group has traveled for a long time recollect the shards and bring them together again; stopping demons in possession of a jewel shard that reigned terror on villages and any humans that did the same. They were traveling to this location because it was now time for the group to rest.
As the group headed closer and closer to the village, not far away in the woods were villagers with torches and fork knifes. They were in search of a small girl who seemed to be trouble for the village. One of the villagers spotted her and they ran after her again. She looked like a half demon with silver hair like Inuyasha, silver dog ears although the tips of the ears were black. Her eyes were the color gold and she wore a priestess outfit but was torn up by all the branches she ran through; it was also filthy from dirt and a few blood stains she had. The villagers were set on this girl for some reason and they wanted her dead. She was already alone in this world and what made it worse was that she would die alone. She was running for her life and she didn't want to die this way. A villager on who was just to her right readied his bow and shot his arrow throw the young girl's left shoulder. She yelped in pain and touched her shoulder; blood was on her hand but she couldn't stop, she wouldn't stop! Not now, she needed to find help and the only way she would get that help was if she screamed. But who would save her, in this village; no one, but she had to try, in order to save her life.
"Please! If anyone can hear me! HELP!" screamed the small girl with tears running down her face. Luckily her screams were not unheard and the scream traveled all the way to where the group of five was. Having sensitive ears, Inuyasha heard the scream and stopped dead in his tracks, when he did everyone wondered what was wrong.
"What's wrong Inuyasha? Do you sense something?" Kagome asked.
"I heard a scream and I can smell blood," Inuyasha replied and the gang went to investigate where the screams and blood were coming from. The small girl, still running for her life, came through a clearing but ended up being a cliff. She was now panicked and the villagers were now surrounding her. She was crying her heart out and she could feel her heart pulsing abnormally in her chest.
"You know you can do it, just kill them. Kill them for what they have done!" exclaimed the demon inside the small girl's mind.
"NO! I won't!" the girl whimpered. The villagers knew she was hopeless and the same man who shot her shoulder readied his bow again; this time to end her. He let go of the arrow and it went soaring to the girl. She closed her eyes tight, ready for the impact but it never came. She slowly looked up and saw a man in red, standing in front of her. Her eyes grew wide.
"Another half demon!" a villager exclaimed.
"Let's kill him too!" another villager replied but before they could take a tackle, the rest of the gang came to view.
"Don't even think about it!" Sango exclaimed.
"Oh and what will you do about it," a villager said. The group took their fighting stance, "You don't scare us."
"Why are you out to kill this small girl?" exclaimed Sango.
"She deserves it, like all half demons. They don't belong in this world!" a villager replied.
"She brings our village a bad reputation and she is no longer allowed to live here!" another villager exclaimed. The man with the arrows was now aiming for both Inuyasha and the small girl, when he released the arrow; Inuyasha caught the arrow in flight and crushed it into two. He glared at them with a menacing look and the villagers saw the rage he held and decided they valued their life more than harming the girl so they headed back to the same village the gang was about to travel into.
"Who's afraid now?" Shippo exclaimed.
"Well, at least that's taken care of," Sango said.
"Yes, it seems we were at the nick of time before they had the chance to kill her," Miroku said.
"Yeah, but she's still badly hurt," Kagome said looking at the girl, "and scared too. What should we do?"
"I'll talk to her," Inuyasha replied.
"Are you sure? What if you make it worse?" Shippo asked which deserved a punch to the head from Inuyasha.
"Well I'm a half demon too. Maybe I can get the kid to calm down," he said.
"Good idea. The moment she smells his scent, she will know he is a half demon and hopefully trusts us enough to help," Miroku replied as Inuyasha walked up to the child.
"I hope so," Sango sighed.
"Hey kid, you okay?" Inuyasha asked crouching down eye level to her. "We're not here to hurt you, we just want to help." She looked up and he finally took a good look at her face. "Wow you look a lot like me." She had almost the same features except for the black on top of her dog ears. She had bruises everywhere and cuts that were paper-cut-size and cuts that look more like bite wounds. She still didn't meet his gaze, she was too frightened. "You're going to be okay now, kid." She finally looked up and her eyes that were once hollow and filled with sadness turned, turned to joy and feeling of safety. Before Inuyasha could process why she was all of a sudden happy, she jumped on him giving him a hug.
"I knew it," she sobbed. "I knew you would come back, you just had too. I'm so glad you're here papa! Now we can go home!" the girl exclaimed, "I've missed you so much papa," she sighed and with that she fell unconscious.
"Father?" Inuyasha questioned.
Ok guys that was the first chapter of A New Member of the Family. I hope this turned out better than it was before. I feel as though when I wrote it back then, I was in a rush and kept repeating the same chapters. Also I made Inuyasha seem really accepting and that actually wasn't suppose to happen. But don't worry I'll make it work somehow. I'm probably going to delete the chapters and load them up again when I'm done. Anyway let me know everyone and I'll see you all next time.
