legal junk: I own nothing in this story
CH2: "In the Morning".
Kagome looked at her watch and saw that it read 3:30 AM. That was the last thing she did before she allowed her sleepiness to overtake her and drift off into peaceful slumber.
The morning sun slowly climbed into the sky as dawn cracked and spilled over the land of Japan. The day had begun just like any other day would begin but for seven young explorers it was about to get interesting.
Tomas walked up to Inuyasha's camp, and stood on the outside the border. In his right hand was a serrated broadsword and in his left hand was a string of fourteen live catfish. To his right he could see Kagome and Shippo lying beneath a tree and to his left he saw Mirokou, Sango and Kiara lying against each other. Then right in front of him was Inuyasha.
"What do you want", Inuyasha hissed as he drew his Tetsusaiga and walked up to him.
"Just to talk to you and your clan", Tomas replied in a whisper as he sheathed his sword. "I mean you and your clan no harm".
"What's with the fish", Inuyasha whispered.
"Thought it might make the greeting easier", Tomas replied as he tossed the fish into the camp.
The fish hit the ground with a soft thud, unfortunately that thud was loud enough to awaken Kagome.
Kagome opened her eyes and saw Inuyasha talking to a man who was wearing a Viking helmet, a dark blue hooded cape, a Roman full body shield hung on his left arm , and he was wearing a vest and pants made from some type of animal skin that she could not readily identify. She quickly screamed as she stood up and notched her arrow. Tomas quickly moved his shield in front of himself, drew his sword and pointed it at Inuyasha now awakening clan.
"Drop your weapon demon", Mirokou shouted as he readied his wind tunnel. All he needed now was for Inuyasha to move out of the way.
"FOXFIRE", Shippo shouted as he threw his spinning top at Tomas.
Tomas quickly sliced the top in two with his sword while it was still in the air.
"Don't bother with your kitsune magic Shippo", Tomas said as Kagome fired an arrow at him.
Tomas quickly turned his sword on his side and hit Kagome's arrow up and back towards the tree she was standing under. As the tree exploded and the debris were raining down Tomas said: "Don't bother with your arrows either Kagome".
Sango threw her giant boomerang at Tomas missing him only by mere centimeters.
"You really should work on that aim of yours Sango", Tomas said as her giant boomerang started to turn around and head back towards him. Just as it was about to hit him he jumped up over it and it passed under him.
"Nice try kiddo", Tomas said with a smile.
"BE GONE DEMON", Mirokou shouted as he threw his prayer cards at Tomas.
"I'm part human you idiot your cards won't work on me", Tomas said as the cards landed on his shield and slid down.
That was when Inuyasha jumped backwards and readied his sword.
"Windscar", he shouted as swiped his sword in front of him.
"Uh-oh", Tomas said as he ducked and rolled under the windscar's wave and towards Inuyasha. Once the windscar's wave hadpassed over him, Tomas stood up and put the blade of his sword right under Inuyasha's Adam's apple.
"I only want to talk to you and your clan what is so hard about understanding that", Tomas asked.
Inuyasha growled, "Fine but make it short".
"Thanks", Tomas said then he turned to Inuyasha's clan. "No doubt by that welcoming that I just received you all probably know about my past. Yes I am a vampire and yes I do drink blood but I'm not here to feast on you I'm here to ask for your help".
"What do you mean", Shippo asked.
"Well Shippo", Tomas replied "I --"
"How do you know my name", Shippo interrupted.
"Whenever I take on an enemy I like to learn all that I can about them first. Who their friends and enemies are, where they live, their fighting ability, and stuff like that. Makes it easier to look for a weakness and strike there, rather then go in blind".
"So you know all about us", Kagome asked.
"Yes", Tomas said "I do. Anyways back to Shippo's first question I am looking for Naraku because I have to kill him".
"What", Inuyasha asked as he raised his right eyebrow.
"A black dragon killed my mate", Tom replied. "That dragon later bonded with Naraku, so now I have to kill him in order to avenge her death".
"So that's where we come in huh", Sango asked.
"Yes", Tomas replied uneasily. "I need your help finding him so that I can kill him. Will you help me"?
