Red and the Dog
A/N: So, I got this idea because I was thinking about my Halloween costume and it just poped in my head. Hope you like it!
CHAPTER 1:
"Kagome! It's almost that time!" My grandmother, Kaede, called from the living room.
"Yes, I'll be right there Gran." I called back, testing the trigger on my crossbow. Yes, I have a weapon, why? I'm a bounty hunter, best in the village. My name is Kagome Higurashi, but most just call me Red, because of my hood.
I've hunted more bounties than I care to remember. I hunt anything the king has out there. Vampires, Bandits, you name it. I'm getting ready for another hunt, this time it's something I actually haven't hunted before.
A werewolf.
It's been attacking villages and is headed straight here. I can't have that, so this job is a lot more personal than most of the others. It's just me and my Gran though, so it's not much to fight for but it's all I got… since my mother died that is.
I had the arrows specially made the blacksmith. We're not a very wealthy village, so no gold. Silver will do just fine though.
"Alright Gran, am I forgetting anything?" I asked, stepping into the kitchen to pack some food. Who knows how long I'll be gone?
"Yes, your cloak. I hear that red hides you from their gaze." Gran said, putting the red cloth over my shoulders and tying it in the front. Gran doesn't like the idea of me being a bounty hunter, but that doesn't stop. I'm no good at the jobs in town. This is the one thing that I excel at. "You be careful now. Don't go doing any reckless things." She ordered. I giggled.
"Gran, do you even know me at all?" She smiled at that. I kissed her cheek and walked out the door.
I was nearly to the edge of town when someone called my name. I turned to the voice to see no other than the great demon slayer herself, Sango Tijiya.
"Heh, thought you weren't gonna show." I smirked and she did the same.
"So, a werewolf huh? Sounds fun." She said, getting Hirikostu in her grasp and ready to throw at a moment's notice.
"No kidding, I wonder who the poor sucker is. I almost feel bad… almost." I said, loading my crossbow.
"Ready to go Red?" Sango said. I didn't even have to answer, so we ran into the woods to start our dog hunt.
A/N: SHORT CHAPTER! I'm so sorry, but the whole plot is gonna be amazing! I promise! I'll have chapters for other storys up soon too though! Count on it! Just in time for the holiday! Halloween~!
