I had this idea buzzing around my head ever since I first saw Inuyasha, which is, what, about three or four years? Well, whenever it first started on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network, which was about when Adult Swim started. So I've had this idea for a long, long time. I tried to revise it in my head over and over again, but it keeps coming out the same. So, since I practically had all summer to write it because my internet was out, I decided I should try it. Hope it turns out ok.
Summary: Inuyasha thought he had enough problems worrying about loving Kikyo or Kagome. Out of nowhere, a girl comes with Kagome through the well in the Forbidden Forest claiming that she and Inuyasha were in love before he was bound to the Tree of Ages. The only problem is he doesn't remember her. Is the girl telling the truth or is she really the enemy? What is in her past that connects them all? That's not the least of their problems. When Naraku senses the new power, he decides to interfere. Will the gang finally defeat him with their new ally, or have they bitten off more than they can chew?
Disclaimer: I am sick of having to tell everyone that I don't own Inuyasha. Why would I write fan fiction if I did? You'd think people would get it by now. By the way, I do not own anything from Inuyasha, unless you count Vol. 1 and 2 of the magna that I bought from Right Stuf International Catalog and B. Dalton Books. Other than that, I sadly own nothing that is Inuyasha.
And now, without further ado, I give you the first archive of my story, Timeless Loves.
"Someone talking."
Someone thinking.
Saved by a Demon
It was a cloudy day in feudal Japan. In the middle of the village knelt a tied-up, fifteen-year-old girl. She had a dark blue fighting kimono on. Her long, light brown hair was tied in two ponytails at the nape of her neck. Her light blue eyes were filled with sadness as a priestess approached her. The girl looked at the faces of the villagers for help, but not a single soul felt sympathy for the fate that awaited her.
"Yumi," the priestess said, "you were caught trying to steal the Sacred Shikon Jewel of Four Souls. We cannot have you in this time trying to steal it again. Before your sentence is carried out, do you have anything to say?" Yumi looked around once again for someone to defend her. Then she saw him. Her face lit up when her eyes fell upon the dog ears she loved so much.
"Inuyasha, you came!" Yumi's smile fell when she saw the disappointment in his golden orbs. "Inuyasha, say something. Tell them what you told me to do. Tell them you told me to get the jewel for you." Inuyasha looked surprise.
"I don't know what you are talking about," he said. Yumi gasped at his words. Why would he say that? He loved her and she loved him. "Kikyo, send this girl away." Inuyasha turned around and disappeared into the crowd. Tears started flowing down Yumi's face. How could he betray me? She thought he loved her. Now he had abandoned her. Kikyo turned back to the girl and threw scripture around Yumi in a circle.
"Inuyasha," Yumi whispered. Kikyo was now chanting. A form of purple light surrounded Yumi and she started screaming in pain. In a flash, there was a burn mark where Yumi once knelt. Kikyo ran her hand across the scorch marks and scowled.
"I have a bad feeling about this one," she whispered as she walked away.
500 years later…
"Ah…I'm late for school!" Once again, Kagome had overslept and was now hurrying to get ready. She shoved her books into her bag and threw it over her back. She quickly ran downstairs, almost stomping on Sota on the way down.
"Watch it!" he yelled.
"Sorry, no time to talk," she said back. Sota just sighed as he made his way downstairs. Kagome was rummaging through the kitchen for a lunch. "I'm going to be late for the test! Mom, where is my calculator?"
"Wherever you left it, dear," she said as she made breakfast. "Would you like some toast?" Kagome grabbed the toast with her mouth and continued to look for her calculator. She looked under her grandpa's newspaper last. She then went into the hallway to put her shoes on.
"I could call in and tell the school you are sick again. What illness should I use? Perhaps Tuberculosis? No, I already used that one twice." Suddenly, there was a meow, a scream, and then a big thump in the hallway. Everyone found Kagome face down on the floor with Buyo at her feet.
"Kagome," her mother said, "are you alright?" Kagome lifted her head. Her calculator fell off her face, leaving an imprint of all the buttons on her face. "I see you found what you were looking for. Here is your lunch." Kagome got up and took it with a nod of appreciation. She then ran out the door at full speed. "Have a good day, honey!"
Kagome was just at the front door of the school when she ran into a girl with long, brownish-blonde hair, knocking all their books on the ground. Kagome and the girl started picking them up quickly. As soon as they were done, the girl apologized for running into her.
"It's ok," Kagome said with a smile. "It's my fault, too. Thanks…um."
"It's Yumi." The girl adjusted her glasses to show her blue eyes. "I just transferred to this school a couple of weeks ago." Kagome looked at the girl for the first time. Her uniform was different then Kagome's green and white one. Yumi's uniform was made like Kagome's except in place of the green there was dark blue. The red scarf was replaced by a light blue one. Kagome guessed she hadn't had time to replace her old uniform.
"I haven't really been in school to know," Kagome said flatly. "I think we are in the same class though, right?"
"Algebra, right. We can still make it if we hurry. Come on." They both ran and just made it at the bell. They both sat down. During the test, Kagome could have sworn that Yumi kept glancing at her. Kagome thought to herself. Is she cheating off me? No, she's too far away. Is there something on my face? Then she was something shining in her pocket. Is that a sacred jewel shard? No, she couldn't possibly have one. Just ignore her and finish the…
"Please hand in you tests," the teacher said. Kagome gulped and looked at her paper.
"But…I'm not even half done!"
On the way home, Kagome thought about the girl she met in school. Why did her pocket glow? Also, Kagome had felt a strange presence in Yumi. She really couldn't explain. She decided to shake it off and worry about how she was going to explain her bad grades to her mother.
She was almost home when someone pulled her into an alley and pushed her against the wall. "Let me go!" Kagome yelled at the thug.
"Don't worry. I'll let you go as soon as you give me all your money. And don't be cheap on me," he said as he pulled out a gun. Kagome knew she was in trouble. She forgot to grab some money today. If she couldn't come up with a plan of escape, she would be done for. "Come on. Cough it up. I guess I can take it the hard way." He started pulling back on the trigger. Suddenly, something hit the gun out of his hand. The man looked over to see who had interfered with his mugging. To his and Kagome's surprise, it was Yumi.
"Are we having a problem with manners?" she asked.
"Where the hell did you come from?" he asked as he pulled out a knife.
"Yumi, get out of here!" Kagome yelled. Yumi just laughed.
"A man with a knife against unarmed Yumi. I would hardly call that fair. Maybe you should pick up your gun."
"I'm going to cut you into pieces, wench!" The man ran to Yumi and swung at her, missing her each time. Kagome was surprised at her speed. Yumi finally kicked him into a dumpster and then headed over to Kagome.
"You alright?" she asked as she helped Kagome to her feet. Kagome nodded but gasped when she saw the man point his gun at them. He shot and hit Yumi in the shoulder. His laughter turned into screams when she appeared in front of him. "That wasn't very nice." She pushed her hair back and revealed a pair of pointy ears. She then showed him her inch-long claws, causing him to foam at the mouth and black out. Yumi smiled as she made her way back to Kagome.
"He'll be out of it for awhile," she said as she fell to the ground.
"You're hurt," Kagome yelled as she helped Yumi up. Kagome took a gym towel and wrapped it around the bullet wound. "I can take you back to my dojo and get you some first aid." They made there way up the stairs. Kagome thought to herself what she was going to do with a demon in her house.
