Inuyasha SomniScoto

Part 1

The Evils of the Misty Mountain

An Inuyasha Fanfiction by AnimeLady Noriko

This was actually the first ever Inuyasha fanfic I had written, back when I hardly knew anything about it. I updated it a bit and added stuff that I had learned as I continued to watch the TV show. This is my first fic I have ever published on this website and...well, it's the first part of my Inuyasha Somni Scoto series. I really hope you like it.

Chapter 1: The Unknown Test

The sun had just began to set as Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo passed through a dark forest somewhere deep within feudal Japan. They decided to set up camp for the night, for soon it would become to dark to travel. Once they had a fire started they sat around it and rested.

"This is stupid!" complained Inuyasha. "We've wandered around this area for three days now and haven't found any signs of a jewel shard!"

"Just be patient," said Kagome reassuringly. "Something will turn up soon." She stared into the fire, watching the flames dance and twirl around.

"Lord Inuyasha!" said a tiny voice. Inuyasha flinched and slapped the side of his face. Myoga, slightly squished, stood up and exclaimed, "Lord Inuyasha! I've heard rumours of a sacred jewel shard."

"What!" yelled Inuyasha. "Where!"

"In the misty mountains. They lay but a mile from here and it is said that there lives a very powerful and murderous demon upon that mountaintop. A demon calling himself Tamiyasu is the one."

"So he possesses a jewel shard?" asked Inuyasha eagerly.

"Possibly." replied Myoga.

Inuyasha's eyes darted away from Myoga towards a clearing in the bushes where he saw two eyes staring out. He sniffed the air and ran over to it. A terrified scream echoed through the night as Inuyasha pulled an attractive young maiden into the clearing by her the neck of her kimono.

"What were you doing spying on us?" asked Inuyasha letting her go.

"I…I'm so sorry!" she cried as she stared at all of them. "M…my village has been destroyed and I ran away and so that I would be able to find my little brother Seiji. But now I'm lost and…and…I heard you talking and thought that maybe you could help me."

"And why should we help you?" asked Inuyasha.

"I can show you where the Misty Mountains are located. That's where you are going is it not?" she said.

Inuyasha stared at her for a moment and then reluctantly agreed.

Miroku stepped foreword and took the woman by the hand. "And may I ask your name?"

"I'm Kumiko." she said shyly.

"Well…Kumiko…" said Miroku looking deep into her eyes. "Would you kindly consider bearing my child?"

Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo all looked away, too embarrassed at the foolish Miroku who Sango stared jealously towards with udder disbelief.

Kumiko looked at him shocked. And then she smiled. "Gladly." was her reply and everyone was absolutely taken by surprise, even Miroku.

"Are you serious?" he asked, barely able to believe his ears.

"Yes." she said smiling at him. "Once I've taken you to the Misty Mountains and we have found my brother I will gladly bear your child."

Miroku rushed over and grabbed Kumiko's hand and yelled, "What are we waiting for! Let's go!"

"Wait a minute!" yelled Inuyasha. He sniffed the air. "I smell the scent of a demon!"

Then out of the forest a demon of great stature, with arms as large as tree trunks and gleaming fangs, sharp as daggers visible through it's mouth came. "Which one of you is Inuyasha!" he growled.

"Who wants to know!" yelled Inuyasha.

"I am Rukiyo and I have come to slaughter the one they call Inuyasha and take the jewel shards he possesses!''

"Is that so?" Inuyasha yelled, pulling the Tetsusaiga from it's sheath and holding it in front of himself menacingly. "Well why don't you just try it?"

The demon charged foreword and hit Inuyasha hard with it's giant fist, sending him flying backwards and into the trees. Taken by surprise at the demons power Inuyasha stumbled, which cost him another blow. Inuyasha laid face down upon the ground, not moving.

"INUYASHA!" screamed Kagome as she pulled out of her arrows and shot it at the demon, hitting it's left arm.

The demon cried out in pain and looked over at Kagome. "You! Human! How is it that you possess such power?" Kagome trembled as the demon's shadow blocked the sun from her view. "I will not allow you to live!" it said running towards her at great speed.

"Don't you dare touch Kagome!" yelled Inuyasha coming up beside the demon and cutting off it's other arm with his sword. The demon stopped and stared as Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and took her to safety and then jumped back into the battle.

"You!" yelled the demon. "You're a half-demon aren't you?"

Inuyasha stared at him with hatred in his eyes. "So what?"

"Ha!" laughed Rukiyo. "You actually think that you, a half-demon, can defeat me, a pure blooded demon?"

Inuyasha smiled too. "You may be a full demon but there is nothing pure about you! And now it's time to die. WIND SCAR!"

The Rukiyo screamed as the blast from Inuyasha's blade disintegrated his body, leaving nothing of the demon.

Inuyasha looked over to everyone. "Now it's time to go." He looked up at the sky and watched as the sun slowly made it's way up into the sky. Then he took off walking, followed by the rest of the group.

"Excellent! Good show!" said the deep voice of a dark figure looking at Inuyasha and the others through a floating orb. He looked to a woman that was standing at the far corner of the room, face partially silhouetted in the moonlight. "He is the one I want!"

"What do you want him for?" asked the woman.

"He will be the new leader of my army! And then, with him fighting for us we will take over all of the surrounding lands and then I will be the most powerful demon in the world!"

"Do you have a plan master?'' asked the woman.

He looked back over to the orb. "I have already figured out his weakness." He pointed at Kagome.

"The human?" asked the woman.

"He is obviously in love with her." said the dark figure.

The woman's laughter rang throughout the hall. "A human and a half-demon!" she taunted. "That's the saddest thing I have heard of!"

"Do you understand want you must do Reiko?" the deep voice asked, eyes glinting fiercely.

"Yes. I understand." said Reiko. She silently bowed and left the room.

The other looked back to the orb, smiling broadly, and then looked over to the opposite corner of the room. "Did you hear that girl?" he asked. "Now I will finally rid the world of your village and your family!"

Chains rattled and sobs rang out as the little figure that lay flat upon her stomach slowly got up and looked into the cruel eyes of he whom had taken her prisoner.

"Please…please!" she begged. "Let my village be. And those poor people as well. I will do anything! Please."

He laughed. "Do you think the great Tamiyasu will take pity on humans and foolish demons just because she who is to be my bride asks me to spare them? You're a fool."

The girl shrank back to the floor and wept for her family and friends, and for others who would be hurt.
