The War of the Canines:
Chapter 1:
Arrival:
Inu Yasha sat atop a maple, out looking the forest. Miroku sat beneath the tree, polishing his staff on his gi. Kagome sat on a rock, her feet in the water, Shippou asleep on her lap. The night was warm and was making it easier to fall asleep. Inu Yasha had almost fallen asleep himself a little while ago, until Shippou splashed water on his face while chasing a fish.
"Huh?"
"What is it, Kagome?" Miroku asked, looking suddenly alert from his almost completely unaware rest.
"A jewel shard! And it's coming so fast!"
Inu Yasha's ears twitched. "Hmmm...." He stood up on the branch and overlooked the forest. He squinted, then sniffed the air. "Grr... Sesshomeru." He leapt off the tree limb, and raced for the scent of his brother.
"Inu Yasha! Wait up!" Kagome yelled after him, getting on her bike.
"Inu Yasha! Wait for us!" Miroku yelled after him, and stood up. He sighed and turned to Kagome, and a very surprised and very drowsy little Shippou. "There's no stopping him when it comes to his elder brother, is there?"
"Not really, Sesshomeru kinda makes it hard for Inu Yasha to stay still..." *unless he's unconscious* She thought.
Kagome allowed Shippou into the basket on her bike. Miroku followed her, running at top speed.
"Inu Yasha! Wait for us!" Shippou yelled after Inu Yasha, but because he was in pursuit of his brother, he wouldn't stop. His mind was on other things- he didn't even hear him yelling, otherwise he would have at least paused to tell Shippou to shut the hell up. The necklace around his neck began to glow. *No! Shit!* He thought, before he hit the ground... *Damn her!*
Kagome finally caught up to Inu Yasha, and made him wait for Miroku to catch up as well. "Are you that dense? I told you it was coming fast! Meaning that we wouldn't have to go after it!"
"It's Sesshomeru! I'm not waiting for him to find us! How close is it? Can you tell?"
"Yeah, it's not that far away. At your speed, I'd say it was about ten seconds away..." She glared at him.
"And just what's that supposed to mean?"
"All I'm saying is that the least you could do is wait for the ones who aren't part demon and can't move at a hundred miles per hour like you!"
"AGAIN! It's my fault again that I'm a demon! Grr... I can't stand it! I'm part human part canine demon! So why do you have to rag on me every day about it!"
"Inu Yasha... I'm- I'm sorry..."
"Well, sorry isn't going to make me fully demon- the jewel shards are. And, no, I'm not waiting for you. I don't care if you tell me to "SIT" or not, I'll keep moving as fast as I can. What direction is it in?"
"If this wasn't Sesshomeru we were dealing with, and just some other demon, then I wouldn't tell you. It's that way." She pointed north.
"Figures. he never attacks from any direction besides north. I can thank my father for teaching him that piece of crap..."
He leapt off into the shadows.
"Sit boy!" The necklace glowed in the night. A loud crash came from about 20 feet away.
"Dammit, Kagome! I'm sick of you doing that!"
"And I'm sick of doing it! But if you're not going to wait up for us, then I'll make you wait up for us..." She put her hands on her hips. "So what's it going to be?"
"Hn." He crossed his arms across his chest. "Fine."
Kagome sighed. *I can't tell if he's just being stubborn out of spite, or if he really wants to catch his brother. It would really help to know...*
Miroku and Shippou had been just standing there, waiting for the two of them to kindly shut up so that they could proceed with finding Sesshomeru and the jewel shard.
They continues to follow the jewel shard- it was now going at a much slower pace. Kagome Had finally coaxed Inu Yasha to behave... {Heheh... Good boy...} Kagome gasped.
"Huh? What is it, Kagome?" Inu Yasha asked, turning around to look at her.
"The jewel shard- it's stopped moving... And it's so close..." A roar drowned out her voice from there.
"Hold that thought, Kagome!"
"Iron Reamer Soul Stealer!" Three yellow lines appeared in the shadows.
"Hn... You'd be lucky to have broken my armor with that mediocre attack. Like I haven't seen it before..."
"Here's one you've never seem before!" The sound of the Tetsaiga being unsheathed and a slicing sound made Kagome start.
"Inu Yasha!"
"A demon. You sliced a demon? So what? Try to slice me!" Sesshomeru was unharmed.
Miroku gasped. A flash of light came from the shadows. Miroku, Shippou and Kagome turned around. A young women stood there, electricity flowing from her arm. It crackled and disappeared.
"Damaru! Do you mind? There's sibling rivalry going on here..."
"Gomen ne, Lord Sesshomeru. I saw through the shadows. He was inches from your neck."
Sesshomeru jumped from the shadows and into the moonlight. "Then I thank you for your actions. I am sorry I yelled." He bowed to her.
"Please, Master, allow me to assist your fighting."
"Hai. You may have some fun with my brother. See what you make of the runt."
"Heheh. My pleasure."
Inu Yasha stepped out of the shadows as well. He looked Damaru over. "A girl? Sesshomeru, have you sunk low. This little bitch couldn't lay a scratch on me."
"Oh, no?" She leapt up and kicked the side of his head. He went slamming into a rock behind him.
"Inu Yasha!" Kagome yelled.
"Ungh. Off guard fighting. You've gone to dirty fighting, too? You're a disgrace to dogs!"
"Never insult Lord Sesshomeru. Especially for OUR nationality."
"OUR? What do you mean, OUR?!" He asked confused and infuriated.
"Let me show you." She grinned evilly. A flash of bright light and an echoing howl filled the air. Damaru emerged from the light as a wolf. A white wolf with brown down her sholderblades, solid, blue, glowing eyes, and dragon wings. She spread her wings and flew into the air. "Let's see how you fight a fellow canine!"
"I've fought other dog demons before!"
"Hn. Kouga was weak. I am not."
"How did.. you know..?"
Damaru whistled into the night. Kouga appeared and his pack of rabid wolf demons.
"Damn!"
"Hn. I'm back, Inu Yasha."
"I can see that. How many times do I have to kill you?"
"Hmmm... I don't know. Let's have a little fun and find out."
"Fine with me!"
Inu Yasha leapt up into the air, just as Kouga sent his pack of Wolves on him.
"Inu Yasha! move! I'll use my wind tunnel on the demons!"
"Wait! Kagome! Is there a shard anywhere?"
"Sesshomeru has one... Kouga has one, too! It's in his left leg!"
"Then let me lure him away first, then take out the demons! I'll give you the signal!"
"Okay!" Inu Yasha punched Kouga in the side of the head, he countered with an equal punch to Inu Yasha's stomach, and a kick to his groin. Inu Yasha fell to his knees, but got up as quickly as he could. Kouga punched him repeatedly, Inu Yasha blocking every punch. He slowly moved backward, Kouga following him into the woods. Miroku carefully pushed aside the beads on his arm, waiting on baited breath for the signal to release the wind tunnel.
