CHAPTER 1

And they finally meet!

The sun shines brightly for a moment before it is hid behind the clouds. A dusty wind blows through the nearly deserted streets save for a few shops that are still open.

'I hope I make it safely to home this time too.' After walking a few feet, I hear more footsteps behind me. 'Oh no! They are after me again!' I start running as fast as my little feet can take me. Taking turns around the corners in the hope of losing them. Once a left, then a right, again a right...'Please Kami, just let me get home safely once again!'

"Stupids! Catch her before she runs away like last time!"

"Yes sir! But that damn girl is running too fast!"

"Boss, let us surround her at the next turn."

"Hurry up fools! She is getting away!"

'Please let this not be a dead end, please..!' I take another turn and 'Darn it! How do I get out of this one now?' It was not a dead end, but I was completely surrounded by these men. The only way to get out now was if someone saw my predicament and jumped in to save me. 'Stupid, it only happens in manga's, not in real life! Think straight before they kill you! Think! Think! Think!'

"So, seems like you have no other place to run to anymore. So just give up and hand yourself over to us!"

"You gave us such a hard time chasing you...Now it is payback time!"

"Oh? So are you saying that running after me gave you such a pain? Why, you can't even run after a mere school girl is it? Such losers!"

"Why you little witch! Let's see how that sharp mouth of yours runs after we are done with you! Guys, grab her and tie her hands up! Now!"

'Kami your so stupid! Can't you keep your mouth shut even when your life depends on it! Now you've angered them even more, as if your trouble now isn't already enough! Make a plan girl..! A plan...Ah! I got it! Please Kami, make it work!'

"Are you sure that move is applicable now? Forget me, Can YOU get away now?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Trying to act smart now are you? Too bad it wont help you." 'Great! It's working! Just be confident girl! You can pull this off!'

"Smart? No, you got it wrong. I'm just being honest. The police has arrived. Look behind you, you'll know what I EXACTLY mean."

They turn back, afraid of the police and what they might do. 'Now is the chance! Run girl run!' I start running again, pushing one guy aside. I can see my place at the distance. Just a little more...

" I'm home!" I say and immediately shut the door. Falling on the ground because my knees give away, I start panting. 'Such idiots! They actually thought the police came! But thanks to their pea-sized brains I was able to get away. But, what do I do next time?' I stopped thinking as soon as I saw my mom come in.

"Hey dear. You look very tired. Don't tell me, they were after you again, weren't they? Oh dear God! Maybe we should inform the police about this now!"

"Mama-san! There is no need to do such a thing! I'm fin– "

" Is anybody in here? We would like to order some hot cup of ramen."

'Wait! That voice sounds familiar!' I go take a peek from behind the wall. 'What?! I just thought I got rid of them! Damn! Why did they have to come here of all places?!'

"Dear, there are some costumers here. Honey, what happened? You look pale."

"Mama-san, they are the ones chasing me! I can't let them find out that I live here! What should I do? I can't go to room without them seeing me!"

"Go out from here, into the store house. Hide there till I come to fetch you. Don't open the door till I call your name, alright?"

"Thanks Mama-san!"

I sneak my way into the store house and hide there. You see, Mama-san actually runs a small restaurant that is attached to our home. 'It's so dark in here! Wait, what is this?' I hit my leg against something really hard and all of a sudden I'm falling into a pit..."Ah..!"

'Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Damn my butt hurts so bad!' I climb out of the pit and get out. 'This is impossible! Where on earth am I ?!' Around me there was a vast place filled with trees and greenery. The birds merrily chirp on the tree branches and the sun still shinning in the sky, implying that the evening has just started.I look behind and realize that I came out of a well. 'I never knew that the well in the old store house is connected in here!' I was cut out of my thoughts when I hear some noises behind me. I turn around to look...

'You've got to be kidding me!' It was a giant centipede towering over me with a woman like figure on its head. The woman had hands and the rest of the body merged with the centipede form.

"How fortunate I am to have not only a delicious looking meal, but also the sacred pearl along with it! You don't know how-"

'It can even speak! But that is not possible. Oh! I think I get it! All of this must be some kind of practice for some drama. But just how on earth did they pull off this centipede woman costume. It's so giant, I'm sure there must be more than 10 people inside it! But why is it talking to me? Maybe it must have got confused. But, that's ridiculous! Can't they recognize their own members? Then, where are the others? Maybe-'

"Hey you! Are you even listening to me? How dare you be so arrogant when-"

"I know, I know. Your lost aren't you? But even I don't know my way here. So sorry I can't help you. Go look for someone else. Oh, BTW, your costume looks very realistic. Bye."

"Costume? What are you even talking about? You little human! You dare insult me! Die!"

"Wait, it was a compliment! Not an insu—Ahh!"

Suddenly the centipede woman leapt at me and slashed my shoulder. Blood came pouring out but, along with it came out a pristine looking white pearl. I pick it up carefully. Just as I was about to inspect it closer I heard-

"Hey you! That is mine! Give it to me!" She again comes to take a swing at me. But this time I start running as fast as I can, AGAIN! 'Oh dear Kami! I hope this is some kind of bad dream! But the pain in my shoulders feel real. No stupid! It is real! I can feel the blood on my fingers! Great! Now keep running again!'

The giant centipede woman kept chasing me, destroying all the trees that came in her path. 'This way, I can't even hide! Damn it! This has to be some kind of nightmare!'

This time, she tried taking a swing at me again. I narrowly dodged, screaming. I tried my best to keep my sanity and not to scream, but seems like the world can't rest without hearing me scream my lungs out! She tried aiming for me again. This time I slipped and fell onto the hard ground of the forest. 'Why oh why am I the only one with such bad luck?!' The centipede woman smiles and aims, coming down at me at her full speed. 'Dear God, what now?'


I was strolling through the woods as usual. Observing if anything unusual is happening. Listening to the birds chirp, and Jaken grumbling about one thing or the other as usual. Then I heard the sharp shrill of a human female. I decided to ignore it but then I saw a large number of trees falling at the distance. I decided to check it out.

"Stay here. I'll be back."

"But, Sesshomaru-sama, please, let us come along with you!"

"Shut up."

Saying this, I glare at him effectively silencing him. Taking off, I near the voice coming along from the direction of destruction. I smell a human female and a demon woman. The demon hag was just about to strike this human but I instinctively dove in to save her.


I close my eyes waiting for the pain to come. The screams kept helplessly escaping from my lungs. But nothing happened. I didn't feel any extra blood dripping from my body. 'Maybe I'm already dead. Maybe that is the reason why I can't feel any pain.'

I open my eyes to see just how beautiful the underworld can be, but instead I see a tall man with silver hair flowing down till his mid-thighs. I slowly try getting up, taking help of the tree on whose root I slipped. Beyond him was the centipede woman lying on the ground motionless with blood splattered all over the area. Putting two and two together I figured out that this person must have saved me. 'Unless all of this is still some kind of drama!'

He finally turns around to look at me. I slightly gasp. He had two inhumanly gorgeous golden orbs. Two purple colored magenta stripes across his cheeks and a red colored crescent moon on his forehead. His silver bangs fell over his head slightly above his eyebrows, parting at the center to reveal the crescent moon. With his angular face and long eyelashes he looked other worldly. He wore an ancient warrior's clothes. A white kimono with red flowers decorating it's border. A yellow sash was tied around his slim waist. He also had a breastplate on. Though he was bare foot, he looked amazing. 'Oh my god! He is so ridiculously handsome! I have never seen anyone so hot before my entire life!'

When I finally find my tongue, I start speaking.

"I-I—I um...Th-Tha-". 'Speaking? More like an stuttering idiot! At least thank him properly for saving your LIFE! Then revel in his hot—No! Uhh! Just get this over with already!'


The girl before me stares at me for quite a long time. I finally decided to leave when she suddenly starts talking.

"I-I—I um...Th-Tha-". Seems like she is taken aback by what happened to her. 'If this continues, I shall leave. Such a waste of my time.' Just when I decided I have had enough of this, she starts speaking again, properly. I was slightly surprised she could form coherent sentences, let alone give a small speech.

"E-Excuse me. Thank you for s-saving my life earlier. Despite how risky and dangerous the situation was, you came to my aid not caring about yourself the very least. For that I'm forever grateful to you. I hope there is a way I can repay my indebtedness. Thank you once again."

'Risky? Dangerous? What is she talking about? But never the less, she isn't afraid of me. She shows no signs of it. Indebtedness? Probably because I saved her. Humans are such vulnerable creatures.'

"Umm...Do I get a reply? Like 'your welcome' or 'no problem'? I mean, I didn't say all of that so that you can just silently stand there."

"Hn." 'She is so noisy now...Huh? What does she think she's doing?'


I just stand there, my body propped up with the help of the tree. I finished all that I had to say for his kindness. I look at him waiting for a reply. But I get none. 'What is wrong with this guy? Is he dumb or something? Great! Now I need to use sign language to communicate. I wish I had paid more attention about it in class! Before that, let me try again!'

"Umm...Do I get no reply? Like 'your welcome' or 'no problem'? I mean, I didn't say all of that so that you can just silently stand there."

"Hn." 'Is that all? Wait! Maybe he really is dumb! Ok. I'm sure we can come to an understanding. But, how do I understand what he has to say? No. I must stay positive! Let's try this!'

I start waving my hands frantically in air. Trying to assure him that I can understand sign language by talking in such a manner. His features slightly change. His eyebrows crease over his forehead slightly, giving me the impression that he didn't get it. 'He looks confused. Oh Kami! I'm just not good at this! What do I do?'

"What do you think your doing, moving your hands around like that?"

I stared at him dumbstruck. My mouth slightly ajar from my recent discovery. 'Th-this guy is not dumb! He can talk! Then why did he stay silent? Wait...unless he wanted to make fun of me! How dare he!'

"What am I doing moving my hands?! What were YOU doing with your mouth! I thought you were dumb! So I was trying to communicate with you! If you would have said something more than 'HN' before, I wouldn't be doing all of this..! Did you assume that you could have fun at my expense?! Why you—Ahh!" I suddenly lose my balance and my vision starts blurring with the appearance of black spots in it. My eyes finally close from all the exhaustion I experienced today.


The girl slowly loses her balance and now falls. I catch her in time. I look at her shoulder and the cut it has. She seems to have lost blood due to which she must have blackened out. Since that miko's village was nearby, I decided to take her there. I retrieved Jaken and Ah-Un and went to the old miko's house.

As I was nearing, I saw Inuyasha and his company helping some villagers. The old miko was outside her hut. I went directly to her and stood before her.

"Hey you! What do you want this time? Don't tell me you are still obsessed with Tetsuiga! Or do you want a fight-" It was Inuyasha.

"Shut up. I merely came here to hand over this human. And just so you know, I'm no longer interested in that sword of yours. So stop babbling about it."

"How dare you - "

"Stop it Inuyasha, we need to help her!" This time it was the young miko.

Then the younger miko took one look and asked me to come inside the hut and lay her down. As I was leaving, I saw the demon flea going towards the human and observing something in her pocket. It looked like a pearl. I finally turned to leave when he unexpectedly spoke up.

"Sesshomaru-sama. Please wait. Can you tell us how this girl came in possession of this pearl?"

"I don't know about anything of the sort."

"Oh no! No! I must immediately call master Totosai. This is very important. Please wait till he gets here and says what must be said about it. Please, all of you behave till then. I will come back as soon as I can."

Saying that he departs using the cat demon. 'Totosai? MUST be said? Seems like I have no other choice.' I go outside the hut and wait while the mikos bandage her wounds and dress her. Inuyasha and the monk follow me out. 'For being so vulnerable, that human girl had quite some mouth. To even think that I was incapable of speech, much less assume it, she is a very different one...'
