Hello, me again with a new Inuyasha story. I was reading other stories to pass the time and this popped into my mind. Inuyasha doesn't belong to me. I reread this story a few times and found some mistakes or some passages I didn't like. So I'm revising the whole thing one chapter at a time. A little combining chapters here and adding forgotten scenes there. I hope this revised copy is better then the last version and here's the revised Chapter #1.
Chapter #1 The Legend, The Statue and A Five Hundred Year Old Broken Seal
500 years ago, a young priestess named Kikyo slayed demons that were attacking a nearby farm field. As payment for her assistance, she was given the Jewel of Four Souls. A powerful crystal that can increase a demons' power ten fold. She was told the jewel cannot fall in the wrong hands and has to keep it purified. A few years later, she met a half-demon named Inuyasha. At first, Inuyasha seeked the Sacred Jewel in hopes to become a full-fledged demon but ended up falling for the priestess instead.
Years later after their first meeting, Kikyo and Inuyasha were about to get married when the village was attacked by demons. Destorying everything in their path. Both Kikyo and Inuyasha were badly injuried in the fight and near death. Before Kikyo died, she took the Sacred Jewel and a magic arrow and sealed the half-demon's spirit in stone so that one day they'll be together again...
Kagome groaned as the tour guide told the legend of the priestess and the half-demon. Her history class were at the Tokyo History Museum doing research on the artifacts there. Everyone was divided into groups of three and assigned the arifact to research
on. Kagome and her friends, Miroku and Sango, were assigned the Statue of Inuyasha. A craving that was rumored to be made from the spell of a powerful priestess to seal the half-demon she was going to marry inside.
The statue itself was dark grey with rough texture on the base and back. Craved into the rock was a young man with long hair and small dog ears on his head, he wore a robe from the Feudal Era and he looked like he was in a deep sleep. Sticking out of
it's chest was a arrow that looked like it has rotted over time.
"Oh please." Kagome grumbled as she took notes. "I've heard this legend a hundred times and I never believed a word of it."
"I don't know, Kag." Sango said. "A priestess seals her love in stone so they'll be together again in another life. It sounds romanic."
"And how." Miroku purred as his hand wondered down Sango's back and...
SLAP
"OW!"
Kagome rolled her eyes and continued writing. Miroku was a pervert who never learn to keep his hands to himself and continued to try and stroke Sango's lower back when the opportunity came.
As the group moved away, Kagome stayed behind and pulled a camera out of her bag. She was about to take a picture when Sango asked if she was coming.
"I'm just getting some photos for our project." Kagome said. "I'll catch up."
She turned back to the statue and took a few photos. Once she was done, she saved the photos and was the leave when she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. She looked up at the statue again and took a step back. Even though it was stone, it
felt like there was a spark of life inside the craving. Kagome shook the feeling off and rejoined her group.
Little did she know that someone or something was watching her. The area near the arrow glowed pink a bit.
"Kikyo."
Kagome sighed as she climbed the tall stairs that led up to the family shrine. It was a long day of walking, taking notes, working on a History project that was due on Monday and cram for geometry test on Wednesday. A least she got all her homework done
so she and her friends can go to the movies tomorrow.
She reached the top of the stairs to see her grandfather and mother walking out of the storage room talking while carrying heavy boxes covered in paper with spells written on them. Kagome rolled her eyes as she overheard her grandfather say the box in
his hands contains ancient dragon scales or something that was part of some warrior's old armor. She never believed his stories about warrior who fought demons in ancient times. They were just as stupid as the one of a priestess falling in love with
a half-demon.
"Hello, Kagome." her mother greeted as she saw her daughter walk up to the house. "How was the field trip?"
"Boring." Kagome answered.
"Now, Kagome you should be open minded about things like that."
"Why, mom. It's so lame."
"It's not lame, young lady." her grandfather told her. "That museum is filled with more knowledge about Japan's history..."
"Not nearly as full as your stories." Kagome thought as she barely listened to her grandfather's lecture.
That evening after dinner, Kagome talked with Sango on the phone for a few minutes before got ready for bed. Later that night, Kagome tossed and turn in her sleep. She was having a dream. She was walking in a forest when she tripped over a tree root and
almost fell when she felt something caught her. She looked to see a man with silver hair, gold eyes with small puppy ears on his head. He smiled as he held her close to him. Kagome looked at him surprised. She knew that face from somewhere but she
can't put her finger on where.
"Inu..."
Meanwhile, at the musuem everything was quiet as the guard made his round. He left the room as the arrow on Statue of Inuyasha started to glow.
"Huh...what?"
"Inu...Inu..."
The arrow glowed brighter by the minute as something inside heard part of his name.
"Could that be...it is! She's calling for me."
"Inu..."
"That's it, love." The ghost said as the arrow started to crack a bit. "Say my name so the seal can be broken."
"Inu...Inu...yasha."
The arrow cracked some more and started to fall apart a little. Scattering wood chips on the floor.
"Inuyasha!"
With that, the arrow turned into dust and the statue bursted opened. As the dust settled, a figure slowly climbed out of the remains and looked around. Not caring how strange the room was.
"Finally, I'm free."
"Hey, stop right there!"
The figure turned to see a man dressed in black clothes holding a strange weapon in his hands. The figure just scoffed and raise his hand.
"Fool." he said as his hand glowed brightly and his claws grew longer. "You think you can stop me from leaving?"
"What the Hell are you?!"
The figure grinned, showing his long canines.
"Something you shouldn't try and mess with."
There you have it, the rewritten version of Lost and Found Again. The next revised chapters will be up soon. See you later.
