Diclaimer: don't own anything from the Inuyasha series, that all belongs to Rumiko Takahashi.
Author's note: Ok, so this story is based a little off the game InuYasha: secret of the divine jewel, thats coming out in 2007, for the DS. My friend Renai from Neko and Renai is going to help me with this story. Since she has no internet I'll be working on it more than she will, but we promise that it will be great!
Chapter one: The Recall of a Legend Part 1
Janis's uniform black shoes clicked on the sidewalked as she raced through the stretch between her home and her ninth grade class which probably already started. She skidded around a corner, "I'm in it deep this time," she whined, "twenty tardies straight!"
In a sudden thought she turned off her normal route, just a shortcut, she reassured herself and continued her sprint. The gray sailor uniform skirt and collar floated in the wind she abruptly created, her brick red bow and accents of the white blouse created a kind of stream of color from her unusual teenage speed.
Janis wasn't too familiar with this route but trusted her sense of direction (if any) to get her through the new shortcut. A shrine came into view on the left of her, the top of a large tree was visible at the top of the many steps leading up to it.
Something gently tugged at her, slowing her pace greatly to a slow walk, her thigh-length sunshine blond colored hair flew forward slightly at her slowing. The feeling tugged again and she found her sparkling mismatched eyes (left blue and right green) peering up at the tree.
It was as if an invisible hand was nudging her up the steps, despite her determination to return to the course of the sidewalk, she continued slowly step after step, her eyes focused on the more visible large tree, a small picket fence squared it and there was a large barkless area giving the impression of a very smooth surface. An odd feeling of comfort washed over her.
What is this? Janis questioned in her mind, she realized she wasn't controlling anything her body was doing. Her ankle muscles twitched beneath her knee-high uniform socks in her wanting to redirect her feet to turn around. Despite her struggle against her own person, she strode toward the fence, taking a simple step over it, veering even closer to the large tree.
A faint white glow came into the small vision she had of herself while staring straight ahead. Janis saw the glow better as her right hand rose elegantly to the barkless spot of the tree, her fingers carressed the smooth surface and the glow transferred brightly under her palm.
A look of surprise covered her glistening eyes but her expression stayed in relaxation, her entire body not tense, but weirdly relaxed. I...I don't... Janis's confusion and fright was being fought down by an emotion that seemed to run through the tree into her.
Her surroundings faded around her, the floor fell from beneath her.. No! Stop! She tried her best to pull her hand away, she should have been flamed by the wrath of her homeroom teacher, but instead it was this...
As much as Janis tried to search the darkness around her, her eyes were fixated on her hand and would not lift for the life of her. A shiver would have ran over her at that time if not for her condition. The tree wasn't in sight but she could still feel it, that feeling somehow kept her from being overwhelmed by fear.
A blue sky formed above her and tree around her, dew shimmered off of the lush grass under her feet. Her eyes widened as her control flew back to her. She ripped her hand from the tree and held it gingerly with her other. Her bangs whirled as her head whipped in all diferent directions, she took a nervous step back, as if backing away from something of great horror.
A bird squaked above her, her face shot to the sky in a jerk then ahead of her as she saw the crow flapping below the few clouds. Her eyes rested on a wooden well to the right of her, her eyebrows furrowed. Janis took a quiving breath, her hand released the other as she threw herself against the tree, slapping her hand on it in a desperate act then it escelated to pounding.
She was too shocked to cry or scream. Her hands fell and she hung her head in defeat, "damn, what is this?" She whispered, shaking her head trying to clear it. She looked up, dissapointed to still see the foreign land sprawled out before her.
Janis straightened out and turned her back to the strange tree, she made a deep sigh and began to walk, maybe I'll bump into someone, she doubted her luck but continued to walk, unconsciously swaying from side to side.
A breeze started up, her long hair bounced against her waist and shoulders. She had been running to school and was going to be late anyways, she wished desperately that she'd avoided her improvised shortcut. Her mind was a swarm of regret, she fell to her knees and propped her left elbow up, her forehead resting on her palm in distress. She clutched her head, moaning.
"What's happening?" She groaned, her large eyes shut tightly.
"How lucky," a raspy voice began, Janis slowly rose her head to look at the speaker, her eyes grew wide, "to bump into such a tasty girl," a gross face looked down at her, he was a pig...literally. The thing stood like a man and had a man's hands but its face and skin resembled that of a boar.
Janis recoiled, inching backwards then scurried to her feet. The demon snarled nastily and lifted his rusted sword to slice her. Her moment of shock passed as he swung the sword in a manner to kill her, she stepped out of the way and ran to her right, almost tripping over her feet.
"Wench!" He growled and followed her.
She seemed to feel the demon as it gained, like she could sense it. This is unreal, she sidestepped through two close trees, the pig ran around them. This is beyond insane, she lifted her arms to push the branches of the many trees from her way, she felt him stronger.
A large hand caught her upper arm, she hadn't been fast enough. Janis couldn't fight his strength as he whirled her to face him, he leaned down and growled in her face, his fangs were brown and crusted with blood, his breath was an extreme stench. Janis flinched at the smell.
"Get your filthy hands OFF of me!" She screamed back, her eyes closed tightly with the might of her words. The air between them pulsed slightly, the demon released her as he flew forcefully back into a dense tree. He passed out, his head hung and his sword fell from his loose fingers.
Janis stood there for a second in awe, "did I-?" she shook her head in reply, "impossible, I couldn't have." She scanned the area, looking for whoever might have done that to the creature. She shrieked when the demon twitched from his position about fifteen feet from her. His prescense in the air fell, she could hardly feel him anymore.
