A/N: okay this is my first fan fiction so be gentle with me please… *Gives puppy dog look*

And I would like to mention that its been ages since I've watched Inuysha so I might be a little out of sorts. Sorry if I am though

Chapter one: saving the little girl

"Ouch" I groaned lifting a hand to rub my temple. I sat up slowly testing to see if anything was broken. I sighed other then a sore head and dry mouth I was fine, clumsily I got to my feet and looked around for the first time. I was in a small clearing surrounded by cherry blossom trees and I could hear the tinkling of running water near by, I started in that direction in the mind of quenching my terrible thirst but a terrified scream stop me short my head snapping in the direction it had come from. Another scream echoed through the trees before it was suddenly cut short.

Without even thinking I hiked my long silk skirt high above my thighs, to give my legs free motion, and took off running through the forest toward where the screams had come from.

I didn't have far to run before I came across the source of the screams. It was a small girl, she only look about eight years old, and she was pined beneath a man who was laughing as she struggled against him. I felt a terrible rage fill me as I realised what he intended to do to the poor child. I let my skirt drop back to the ground and moved swiftly toward them, swooping to pick up a tree branch that loosely resembled a club, as I went.

I circled around behind them, knowing that my best chance was a surprise attack, when I got close enough I raised the branch high above my head gripping it in both hands and brought it down with as much strength as I could muster on the back of the foul mans head.

The man slumped forward. I through the tree branch down and dropped to my knees, quickly shoving the man off the little girl.

She was sobbing, tears were running down her face in streams. I gently slipped an arm under her shoulders and pulled her to sit on my lap. I rocked slowly back and forth making soothing sounds. Soon she calmed down and pulled back a little, turning to look me in the eyes "Thank you so much" she whispered.

I gave her a small smile and open my mouth answer but stopped short when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a tall man with long silver hair and strange markings on his face come out of the trees to my right…

A/N: Okay that was it let me know what you think, if anyone at all reviews I'll keep going and I'll try to make the chaters longer. Thank you to anyone who read.
