Summary: Kagome Higurashi, the legendary Shikon No Tama Miko, is on a quest to revenge her friends and family who were murdered by the evil Naraku when she meets a hot-headed sword wielding hanyou by the name of Inuyasha who is also bent on killing Naraku. Will they be able to beat the evil Naraku? Or kill each other in the process?
Me: Hello again everyone! Even though I didn't get as many reviews as I hoped I'm still going to finish the story.
Inuyasha: Shes not going to finish it she just saying that because she's evil
Me: Oh I'll show you evil*laughs evilly toward Inuyasha.*
Inuyasha: You yeah right I believe that!
Me: You better*starts throwing poison darts at Inuyasha*
Me: If you want Inuyasha(Who I don't own or any of the other charecters for that matter) to live then…. Please review.
Inuyasha turned around just in time to see Kagome thrown into a large tree. "Kagome!" He screamed and looked at the snow leopard youkai towering over her.
"Where's the Jewel Miko?" The leopard growled.
Kagome jumped up from her position on the ground and glared at the leopard "Who wants to know?" she asked, her voice deadly calm. "My master Kenin, he knows about you and the jewel and has order me to take you to him."
No one noticed as Kagome tensed for a split second before shaking her head. "Bring it on you massive fur ball," she challenged and got into a fighting stance.
"This will be an honor to fight the legendary Shikon No Tama Miko." The leopard smirked also getting into a fighting stance.
Inuyasha who heard this couldn't believe it. 'What! She's the Shikon No Tama Miko!' This couldn't be real, (A/N: Remember Inuyasha never knew who she was just that she was a miko) he hasn't even seen the jewel with her!
Too lost in thought Inuyasha didn't notice that they had started fighting until he heard the leopard scream out in pain.
"You won't be as lucky to hit me again Miko," Stated the leopard as blood poured from the massive gashed on its shoulder blade "I see your not using your purification powers either"
"I wanted a more challenging fight," she said giving it a smirk before charging toward the leopard.
The leopard swiped its massive claws at her but she jumped up into the air and kick it square in the head. It flew several feet before skidding to a stop; the leopard got up and growled at her, its teeth baring the blood of its last victim, before running at lightning speed toward Kagome.
For a while they were just dodging each other's moves like a fluid dance, when somehow the leopard's claw grazed Kagome's arm. Licking the blood off its claws a small tint of red made its way into its auburn eyes.
"I'm getting bored time to end this," Kagome stated and positioned her hands as if holding a bow, when in a light pink flash a black bow appeared in her hands. She aimed at her target and released the arrow; it flew true and pierced the leopard's heart.
Before dying the leopard spoke to the young miko "My master told me to tell you a message if I were to be defeated ."
"And what is this message," Kagome demanded fierce and determined to get an answer.
"I will always be watching my sweet little Kagome," It choked before taking its last breath and falling to forest floor.
Kagome eyes widened considerably 'Why now of all times, Kenin?'
Inuyasha, who watched the whole thing from the sidelines (A/N: And didn't do anything), ran up to her. "Oi, wench how come you never told me that you where The Shikon No Tama Miko!" he yelled not liking the fact that she kept something from him.
"I had to, it dangerous for me to be out here and I need to get to Naraku's without drawing to much attention to myself," Kagome explained a wry look on her face.
Inuyasha looked at her a grin on his face "Don't worry Kagome, I the strongest hanyou in the east will protect you!"
Kagome, who blushed a little at the thought of Inuyasha protecting her, started to laugh hysterically.
"y-you the….strongest hanyou in the…. East!" She was on the ground tears in her eyes, holding her sides as she tried to stop laughing.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Inuyasha growled a vein popping out of his head.
"I'm sorry…. I can't stop…. laughing!"
After about an hour of laughing Kagome finally stopped much to Inuyasha relief.
"Hey I forgot to ask considering you were laughing at me but do you know who this Kenin guy is?" Inuyasha had heard what the leopard said to Kagome and thought she might know him.
Kagome's bangs covered her eyes as she spoke "Kenin was my best friend when we were growing up, but then he ran away," tears started to stream down her face "when he came back he helped that bastard Naraku kill our village!"
Inuyasha, without saying anything, came up to her and wrapped his arms around as she cried into his red fire rat robe(A/N:If anyone could tell me what it's called that would be appreciated)when she finally looked up at him her sapphire eyes shined with gratitude, 'Her eyes are so beautiful.' This simple thought made Inuyasha face turn into five different shades of red.
Kagome saw this and awkwardly let go as blush crept on to her face. "So shall we?"Kagome asked trying to distract him from what happened.
"Hmm…. Oh yeah sure."
Making their way through the dense forest they finally made it to a small clearing with a small hut in the middle of it. At first sight of it Kagome was already half way there even before Inuyasha could say wait.
When Inuyasha did catch up he saw Kagome standing next to an elderly woman with an eye patch and was wearing miko garbs.
"Inuyasha meet my teacher Kaede, Kaede this is Inuyasha hes helping me beat Naraku," Kagome said introducing the two "Well I'm going inside to make dinner."
When Kagome went inside Kaede seemed to tower over him "Ye better be good to Kagome, she has been through a lot and if Ye betray her I shall purify you into oblivion." Kaede warned him a glare placed on her stern face as she walked inside.
Inuyasha looked at the door dumbfounded, Kagome was right they are very much like each other.
So Inuyasha risking the pain that was sure to come he walked bravely inside. Once inside he made his way to the small table and began to eat still conscious of the glare that was aimed right at him.
Kagome set down her food and began to talk "Kaede the reason why we came here was to see if you knew where Naraku is."
"Aye, I do child but are sure ye are ready for this?"Kaede asked wryness in her tone.
"Yes I'm sure, I even have Inuyasha to protect me," Kagome said confidently while grabbing one of Inuyasha's arms.
"Yeah, don't worry old bat I'm stronger than two Narakus put together," Inuyasha spoke while puffing his chest out in pride.
Kaede just looked at Kagome with an expression that said 'And you picked him because?' to answer that Kagome just shrug her shoulders.
"Well ok if Ye really think ye are ready ok I will tell ye, Naraku lives in a massive castle in the south region but to get there ye must first go through the forest of ill intent then the valley of lost memories and lastly up the mountain of trust, in order to be able to get Naraku's castle. Are ye sure ye want do this?"
"Yes, Kaede I want to no need to do this for my friends and my family."Kagome spoke in voice of so much determination that there was no way you could steer her off her destiny.
"Alright but why do you stay here for the night, it's starting to get dark out."
"Ok!" Kagome chirped.
"Sure why not." Inuyasha mumbled hating the old bat with every passing second he was here and decided he didn't want to sleep in the same room as her so he went on the roof.
After waking up from a bad nightmare Kagome went to see where Inuyasha was and followed his aura to the roof. When she went up there she saw he was still awake and went to lay right next to him.
"Couldn't sleep?" She said her voice just above a whisper.
"Yeah," he sighed looking contently up into the stars.
"The stars are pretty tonight don't you think?"
"Yeah ,she use to think that too," he said whispering the last part.
But Kagome heard him and then cautiously asked him "Who?" When Inuyasha looked at her she couldn't help but feel guilty his golden eyes were mixed with so many emotions, pain, anger, and even love.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to… "She started but Inuyasha interrupted her "She was my wife her name was Kikyo, we had know each since we were kids but after a while we fell in love with each other so we decided to get married afterwards she told she was pregnant I was so happy but that's when Naraku came and destroyed our perfect life," Kagome's eyes widened "he killed Kikyo and our un born son."After his story Inuyasha looked as though he was in too much pain for one person to hold.
"You didn't need to tell me Inuyasha," Kagome whispered still looking at him.
"You share a lot with me too Kagome you didn't have to either," He looked at her with his gentle gold eyes that made Kagome feel so safe around him.
"Well then I'm glad we met each other," She yawned before snuggling into him and falling asleep.
Inuyasha looked surprised at this but smiled gently at her before wrapping his arm around her waist and whispered into the night sky "I'm glad we met too, Kagome."
