CHAPTER-1
where am I?
It's been two days since she woke up.
It's been two days since she started trying to figure out where she was.
It's been two days since she talked to kurama.
It's been two days since she talked to someone.
At one instance she was fighting for her life with a huge hole in her gut hard even for the fox to fix ,while the bastard was trying to throw away his life for her ,daring to confess his love to her during the last movements of her life ,with a deep kiss full of love ,showing his desperateness to save her ,hugging her body tightly crying his eyes out ...
As much as she hated to admit the sadistic side of her ...she liked it. She liked the feeling of being loved by the bastard. But life is a bitch . Everything she gained that instant was snatched away from her. Just .like .that. Her head reeled from all the blood loss while she strained her ears to listen to Sasuke screaming out her name. She felt really bad for him . Everything he loved was taken away from him . She knew that she was the last thing that kept him sane after Itachi's death . She brought him out of his insane thoughts of taking revenge on Konoha and made him accept Itachi's last wish .
After defeating Kaguya and black Zetsu together they sealed them but not before Zetsu managed to use a powerful jutsu to kill Naruto . Sasuke tried to take the hit for her but he was too late . He caught her in his arms bringing her close to himself while her comrades surrounded them. Sakura came running towards her crying and daring her to die on her. She tried to heal her stubbornly exhausting her reserves glaring at anyone who tried to stop her till Kakashi told her that it was enough and that they could not save her anymore with a hard slap . She started screaming hysterically that it was not fair and that she could not leave them burying her face into Kakashi's jounin vest . Ino and Hinata could not hold their tears as the cried on Chouji and Kiba's shoulders. It pained her heart to see them so sad .
'And what was Kurama saying as my vision faded into darkness was that ... sorry? Sorry for what?' she began to think. She could not catch what he said but she thought she heard him say hanyou .
Now here she was in the middle of nowhere as if everything did not just happen. But something seriously didn't feel right. Her nose is picking sharply and even distinguish each scent separately . Her ears are sensitive hearing even the faintest sound and her body felt agile. Her movements graceful which was alien to her since graceful was not a word to associate her with. Still she could not access chakra or talk to kurama for that matter. She felt her chakra reserves drained. But she could feel the nature chakra seeping into the seal. Probably Kurama is recuperating she concluded. Maybe that's the reason why I am not able to reach him she told herself. She walked for hours till she saw someone wearing red at a distance. It was becoming dark soon it would be night.
"Finally! I thought I was going to die of boredom, " she shouted as she neared the person . She began to run towards the figure but her steps faltered as she neared him and she grimaced looking at the boy pinned to the tree with an arrow. She climbed the tree and took a good look at his features and her eyes immediately drifted to his ears.
She started to blush deep red and looked around . Raising her hand , licking her lips nervously she touched his soft velvety ears and began scratching behind his ears in fascination . He reminded her so much of Kiba and Akamaru .
"So...Soft...," She squealed and started patting his head.
"He sure looks alive and he's breathing," she told herself. Her nose caught his scent , eyes wide she started sniffing him, her basic instincts started screaming at her, telling her it was a bad idea, that she should get away from him. She could not understand he smelled similar to Kiba , like a wet dog, but thousand times more amplified . She wrinkled her nose in disgust cursing her senses that just had to kick in.Suddenly his nose twitched and he opened his eyes startling the blonde. In an hurry to distance herself from him she slipped off the branch landing on something soft.
"Ouch... You scared the shit out of me dattebayo!"
"What's with the sniffing foxy ?" He asked smugly.
" Hey! I wasn't sniffing," she puffed her cheeks defiantly and turned her face to the side with a huff sticking her nose high in the air but the whole effect was ruined by the blush colouring her cheeks.
"What's with the name foxy anyway? "She asked sneaking a glance at him , trying to avoid the topic.
Instead of answering her he looked at her as if she had grown another head.
"Coz..You look and smell like one?" She looked confused for some time. " Anyway what's with the multiple tails ?" he continued.
"... What tails?"
"You're currently sitting on them." He said exasperatedly.
Her eyes went wide as she noticed her tails for the first time. Nine tails swished behind her as she stood up looking behind her eyes as wide as dinner plates.
" I HAVE TAILS?!!!!!!!!..."
"Kurama!" She mentally screamed.
"Quiet kit. I'm trying to rest."
" This is why you blocked me till now?"
"It was better for you to find it out yourself."
"I was normal till now. They just appeared out of nowhere."
"That canine's scent triggered it . Your fox half is not a big fan of dogs. We foxes don't get along well with dogs ."
"How do I change back?"
"With practice but you're still weak , I'm trying to arrange your chakra coils to the way the used to be , so it will be hard for you to draw chakra for some time."
"So...I'm not human anymore?"
"No you're not. You are half demon but you are mortal. Now get away from that dog and let me rest." before she could protest he had already blocked her.
ooo
The black haired girl gazed at the villagers who were busy discussing what to do with her, ignoring her as if she was a ghost they could not see or a stone on the the side of their path .
"You really didn't have to tie me , you know...," she voiced her opinion, which was again... ignored.
"What's with her weird clothes."
"Is she a foreigner?"
"Maybe she is a kitsune..."
"Nah.. kitsune are a lot trickier than that. They can shape shift and would have escaped already."
Look at them talking as if I am not sitting right in the middle of the crowd she mentally growled. She looked around her and felt something off about them. Topknots... Topknots.. Topknots.. Topknots.. am I in Japan's medieval time?
"Make way for head priestess Kaede."
Great another weirdo on the way she mentally sighed.
The crowd parted to make way for an old woman garbed in a white traditional kimono dress, red hakama, and on her feet were a combination of white socks and straw sandals . One of her eyes was covered by an eye patch .
The old woman walked up to her and put her hand in a sack and pulled out a fistful of salt and showered it on her.
"Demon begone," she chanted out loud.
"Hey! I'm not a demon," she shouted indignantly.
"You're not a demon. Then why were you found in the forest of inuyasha."
"Do you think she may be a spy from other village?" a man whispered into the Miko's ear.
"Spy on what? We can barely feed ourselves." She replied dismissing his theory. She then turned towards the girl who was looking at them talking. Her old tired eyes caught something familiar in her features, she looks like sister Kikyo she mused. After a few scrutinizing glances the woman declared her to be of no harm and dispersed the crowd. She invited her to be her guest for the night.
The smell wafting from the stew cooking in the pot reminded Kagome how hungry she was.
"Forgive us," Kaede said as she poured some stew into a bowl," The young ones have become rash due to the wars these days. Even if I tell them we have no reason for wars they refuse to listen and only give me more worry about it."
Kagome took the steaming stew from her and brought it to her lips , " Thanks for the food." she said aloud as she scarfed it down.
Kaede looked at Kagome reminiscing her last last moments with her sister Kikyo . She was broken out of her stupor when she heard commotion outside. Kagome too perked up at the noise and went outside following Kaede.
ooo
Kagome looked at the large centipede demon that dragged her into the well before she could contemplate running away , the demon spirit's attention fell on her.
"Give me the the sacred Jewel,"the demon hissed as it started attacking her.
"Kagome. you have the sacred Jewel?! ," Kaede asked wide eyed. Kagome dodged in time to escape an attack from the demon,a faint trickle of blood ran down her leg as she landed on her knees.
"I have no idea what this sacred Jewel is," Kagome shouted as she began running towards the forest to get away from it. Kaede followed her with her men to save her.
ooo
A familiar copper scent of blood invaded his senses awakening the dog demon from his fifty years of sleep.
"I smell it. The blood of the woman who killed me and it's coming closer. "
He opened his eyes looking around , his eyes fell on the arrow pinning him to the tree . He tried to pull it out but the spell was too strong.
He saw a figure approaching him from a distance . It looked like an orange blob.
After the figure got a little closer he could make out that the figure was a girl he closed his eyes pretending not to be alive.
"Finally I thought I was going to die of boredom, " she shouted as she neared the him . He fought the urge to flinch at her loud voice. He could hear her running towards him and climbing the branch he was resting on .For some time he could not understand what she was doing till he felt her hot breath on his face. His nose caught her scent... she smelled different, like wild forest , like a fox but not quite the same, in a way he liked, he could have lost himself in thoughts till she started to touch his soft velvety ears and scratch behind his ears.
"So...Soft...," She squealed and started patting his head. He tried hard not to wag his tail. He was surprised at himself for reacting the way he has never done. She was the only person who did that.
"He sure looks alive and he's breathing," she mumbled to herself.
He could not hold it in himself anymore when she started sniffing he opened his eyes to look into the bluest of eyes he has ever seen startling her. In an hurry to distance herself from him she slipped off the branch landing on her rear.
"Ouch... You scared the shit out of me dattebayo!"
"What's with the sniffing foxy ?" He asked smugly. He teased her.
" Hey! I wasn't sniffing," she puffed her cheeks defiantly and turned her face to the side with a huff sticking her nose high in the air but the whole effect was ruined by the blush colouring her cheeks. He felt it was cute but something about her felt off.
"What's with the name foxy anyway? "She asked. He was still trying to figure out what is wrong with the picture of her on the ground apart from her weird clothes when it hit like a brick to his head Of course she has multiple tails! .
"Coz..You look and smell like one?" She looked confused at his answer. " Anyway what's with the multiple tails ?" he continued when she did not talk back.
"... What tails?"
"You're currently sitting on them." He said exasperatedly. What's with this girl anyway?
Her eyes went wide as she noticed her tails for the first time. Nine tails swished behind her as she stood up looking behind her eyes as wide as dinner plates.
" I HAVE TAILS?!!!!!!!!..."
Way to state the obvious girly he mentally sighed. What an airhead he mentally sweat dropped as she zoned him out completely, her eyes glazed.
