From Darkness to Light
Chapter 1: Inochibirai
-A Narrow Escape from Death
"Hmm, nice little area." She admired the forest she was running through, as she leapt from tree branch to tree branch. She new she should fly but she always enjoyed the feel she got when she ran through the forest canopy. She never was a big fan of flying but it had its purposes, but she would much more like to be among the wild of the forest than above it.
It was a little over a year ago that it all happened. Everything happened that night. The night she followed presence that bothered her. If only she had known that it would lead to what it did then she would have never left them.
She stopped in a tree and allowed her waist long hair to blow around her body in the gentle spring breeze. She stretched out her senses allowing herself to feel the different life that was around her; faint sounds of some banging hit her ears, and her nose, picked up the slight smell of fires.
She inwardly sighed. 'I wish I would have worked more on my other senses. As it is I can only figure out some smells. But from what I can guess I am coming up on a village. It is small but there are some in it that should not be fooled with.'
"Oh well might as well keep moving." As she leapt forward continuing on her way.
----
Kagome heaved her backpack over the edge of the well. She let out a sigh of relief that she didn't have to climb out of the well again anytime soon. She headed toward Kaede's hut, sure that everyone was waiting for her.
"Oi," Inuyasha called from the top of the hut he was sitting on, "about time you got back. What takes you so long anyways?"
Kagome stood there annoyed at the fact that he forgot she had two tests this week, and continued on her way to see everyone else.
Kagome sat in the small hut and began pulling out every ones presents that she had brought back from her time. They all sat there quietly enjoying their snacks and chatting about things. Then Kagome stopped in mid sentence. 'jewel shards! Heading this way and fast.'
"Kagome what's wrong," Kaede looked with a silent concern.
"Jewel shards are coming this way fast," Kagome look at Inuyasha
"Ah! It is probably that wimpy wolf coming to give us trouble," Inuyasha said with little concern as he went out of the hut to confront Kouga, followed closely by the others
As soon as he was outside, Inuyasha knew it wasn't Kouga heading this way, it was something else. Something youkai that was familiar to him but he just couldn't place it. He got himself ready for a fight. Miroku put himself in a stance ready to fight. Sango had her hand on her Hiraikotsu ready to throw it if need be. Kagome had her bow ready to vanquish the demon if it would not go peace fully. Shippo took his normal position hiding behind Inuyasha. The group waited for the demon to come.
"He's here." Inuyasha stated as he drew out the Tetsusaiga causing it to transform into the demon blade.
"What an impressive blade." A woman said from the top of a small hut just across from the group. "and such a warm greeting how nice."
"Shut up!" Inuyasha snapped at her. As he stared at her. She was tall and had long silver hair like his own except she had two locks of hair that framed her face that were and deep auburn red, there were one long strip each check that where a deep blood red, and a golden crescent on her forehead, and matched her eyes. Her scent was not that of a pure youkai either there was human blood in her vains, but the other scent had a familiar ness that he just couldn't place.
"What do you want here wench," he yelled at this new demon.
"I want nothing from you," the woman said coldly. As she looked off into the distance. "I have no time to play with you hanyou or your friends"
"Give us the Shikon Shards you have" Kagome spoke up as she stepped forward.
"Shikon Shards, uhh?" she looked down once again interested in the party, "why would you care if I had such a thing. Unless you, yourself were collecting them. But like I said I don't have time to play with you right now" with that she jumped off the hut and headed away from the group at incredible speed.
Inuyasha picked up Kagome, and gave chase with the others not fair behind. Inuyasha fallowed her scent easily enough, but he still puzzled over it.
"Damn she is moving so fast," he said as he leapt over a fallen tree as he caught a glimpse of her. "You are going to have to try and hit her with an arrow it is our only chance to catch her." As Kagome nodded notching an arrow.
"Persistent people aren't they?" She said to herself as she easily dodged an arrow, and laughed to herself at their efforts. The little dance of shooting and doging happened for nearly a mile.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha urged
"One more shot," Kagome preyed it would hit this time it was her last arrow all her others had missed the strange youkai, "Please! Hit!" The arrow flew the purple fire of its purity surrounded it, as is soared through the air at its target.
"haha, Maru, you've got away. This river will be more than enough to hide your trail from them" she mused to herself, but was cut short by a piecing burning pain of the purity arrow that struck her in her back sending her falling into the water below. The current of the river swept her down stream as she lost consciousness.
Inuyasha got to the river and took in the scent. "Damn it looks like she got away"
"My arrow hit. I saw it, we are just going to have to go down stream and find her."
"Hey, Inuyasha!" Sango yelled from the back of Kirara
"Your late!" he responded back heading down the river.
A few minutes later Maru found herself pulling herself on to the shore. She collapsed not far from the water's edge, as blinding pain shot through her being. She took in the hazy green surroundings, as she tried to reach back and pull out the arrow that was causing her so much pain.
'Damn it, something like this should not be a problem unless,' her eyes widened as she thought back to the strange looking girl with the blow, 'Damn, a miko's arrow.' She did have to much more time for realization as the darkness of unconsciousness took over her mind again.
----
"RIN!... RIN!! Don't run ahead like that!" Jaken yelled at the little girl as she bounded for the river.
"Jaken." Sesshoumaru broke into his rant at Rin, "Enough" he said with out looking down at the little green toad and continued on his way to the river.
"Stupid girl always getting Jaken in trouble and…." as scream from Rin broke his thoughts.
Sesshoumaru headed towards Rin quickly. Sure he was going to have to kill something that was trying to frighten his young ward. Then he saw what Rin had screamed about. A young girl, no, Youkai with and arrow sticking out of her back, just below her heart. Rin ran back to Sesshoumaru just as Jaken broke the tree line.
"She's hurt Sesshoumaru-sama, hurt bad." Rin looked up at him with big bright eyes, "We're going to help her right, Sesshoumaru-sama?"
Sesshoumaru knew she was still alive he could hear her breathing. He walked up to the girl and kneeled down next to her, and looked at where the arrow entered. Sesshoumaru grabbed the arrow to pull it out but the arrow burned his hand. 'a purifying arrow. I can't pull it out.'
"We're going to help her right Sesshoumaru-sama," Rin didn't have her normal brightness in her eyes as she looked at him this time, "won't you pull the arrow out Sesshoumaru-sama?"
He looked down at the girl, "I can't, it has a spell on it that prevents me from helping her" he said as he stood up, heading back to the trees. "Lets go Rin" He wasn't going to tell her that the girl would most likely die, and didn't want her near this place when she did. It was better that she not know.
Rin knew she should listen to her father figure, but she didn't want to see this girl die, she never wanted to see anyone die again. She walked up to the girl determination crossed her face with tears welling in her eyes, "Rin will save her" she spoke softly as she grabbed the arrow and begin to pull at it. Maru groaned as Rin pulled on the arrow but the arrow wouldn't move.
Rin let go of the arrow, and knitted her brow in concentration. The small girl nodded to herself. Then Rin stood on her back with the arrow in between her little hands. She pulled again this time with everything she had. The arrow began to move and then popped out of Maru's back as she screamed in pain, as Rin fell backwards holding the arrow in her hands, with pure delight and shock on her face.
Sesshoumaru wore a scowl on his face as walked back over to the girl, while Jaken scurried over to Rin. He knelt down by her again and rolled her over. His eyes widened as he saw the marks on her face and noted her scent in his mind. The wound was already starting to close itself.
"There Rin we helped the girl now lets go," Jaken grumbled but Rin didn't listen and ran over to Sesshoumaru, knocking the little green toad over in the process.
Sesshoumaru without another word out from either of them, picked up the unconscious girl up and began to carry her into the forest.
"Sesshou…maru..Sama" Jaken said in a slightly concerned tone.
"Let's go Jaken, Rin" the cool voice said with out looking back.
Rin giggled with joy as she chased after Sesshoumaru, then climbed on the back of Ah Un, and they took flight to the air.
