Hello, people! I have another reviewer shout-out at the end of this chapter, so feel free to look at that, and I'm making InuYasha be rather mean/evil. I love him, but in this story, that's his part. Don't hate me please. Also, I'm probably making Sess a bit OOC, but I'm trying to keep him mainly in character and make the changes gradual. Other than that, I have nothing much to say, so on with the story!
Disclaimer: All I own are the posters plastered all over my walls. (Lol)
oOoOoOoOoOo
Back in the past, Kagome climbed out of the well, Sei fluttering along behind her.
"Mistress, your time is weird! There's so much noise! So many smells! Ugh! How do you stand it?" he chirped, happy to be back in a time where there were skies untouched by smog, and there was water that you could go in without worrying about being green when you came out.
"Well…" The angel was interrupted mid-twitter by a teary-eyed blur attaching itself to the front of her kimono screaming.
"MAMA!! You're back! You didn't leave me!!" She girl smiled gently down on her adopted son.
"Shhh, it's ok my little fox, aishiteru. I'm here, I'll never leave you." As his surrogate mother soothed his fears with calming words, and stayed the torrent of his tears, Shippou took note of the bird fluttering confusedly about his mother's head.
"Kaa-chan, what's that thing?" the Kitsune kit asked, pointing at the bird.
"Thing?! How rude! Should I dispose of him, mistress?" The angered bird chirped indignantly.
"No, no, Sei-chan, this is my kit Shippou! He didn't mean any harm; he doesn't have time to look at nature much, being on the run from danger as we are." Kagome explained in a slightly pained tone, wishing she could give her pup a better childhood.
"My apologies, Kagome-sama, I did not realize that he was your son." Sei flew over to Shippou, who by this point was wondering what was going on (he can't understand any other youkai language than that of the Kitsune) and feeling slightly left out.
"Gomen, Shippou-sama" Sei said in Japanese "I did not realize that you were Kagome-sama's kit." Shippou blinked; surprised that he was rather suddenly drawn into the conversation.
"No, that's ok. I don't look like Kagome-mama, I wouldn't think I was hers either." Sei then bowed and flew back up to Kagome's shoulder.
"Ok! Shippou-chan, Sei-chan, let's go back to the village to see Miroku and Sango-chan before they get worried." With nods from both her companions, she set off on the dirt path towards the village.
When they arrived, Kagome was greeted by a hand getting acquainted with her derriere. After that, several things happened simultaneously. Both Kagome's fist and Sango's Hiraikotsu collided with the perverted monk's head, Shippou transformed and bit down on the hoshi's head for accosting his mother, and one very pissed off bird tried to peck the hentai's head off in retaliation. And as if that wasn't enough, four shouts of "HENTAI!!" followed shortly after. Hearing all the commotion InuYasha (who was in a tree in the forest on the edge of the village at the time) came running at full speed, thinking that someone was attacking.
((Sesshomaru's POV))
After seeing the girl's motherly nature towards the kit, I knew that she would make the perfect personal guard for Rin and myself. (Not that I need a guard, but it would be easier to keep tabs on her this way.) When she walked towards a clearing that I knew was empty (save a dry well, but who cares about that) I was…intrigued. She then stopped in front of the well, and jumped in! 'Is this girl in her right mind? She just jumped into a dry well!' Although, the theory that the girl had simply lost her mind was abandoned when there was a bright blue flash of magic, and all trace of her disappeared into that well. 'Hmmm…so her village is concealed down a well? That is…interesting…I must interrogate her later.' With that thought, I settled down in the tree I was in to follow her when she reappeared.
-Two days later-
'What in the world is taking that girl so damn long?' I grumbled to myself, still waiting in the tree for my soon-to-be warrior. No sooner had the thought crossed my mind did her raven locks become visible at the bottom of the well. (From my vantage point, I can see straight down into it) After watching her brief struggle with the rebellious vines that didn't want to allow her passage, and her interaction with the kit and bird, I followed her silently from the tree tops as she went into the village that she stayed in when going into the well. When I saw that "holy man" fondle my soldier, the only thing keeping me from going down there and ripping the lecher's head from his body was Kagome's (and Sango's, and Shippou's and Sei's…) reaction. I didn't know why I had such a violent reaction to his groping Kagome though. 'It's because he has no right to touch my soldier, yeah, that's it.' But when I smelled InuYasha just ahead and coming closer, I knew that a very interesting moment was about to take place.
((Normal/Narrator's POV))
As InuYasha was sprinting towards the village, he caught the scent of Sakura blossoms and vanilla. "Kagome…" The irritated Inu-hanyou growled out. 'How dare she come here?! She is not welcome! She will die!' His normally bright golden eyes becoming crimson in his rage, black pupils changing to blue, with jagged purple stripes gracing his cheeks, he was a Youkai. With a mighty roar, he broke the tree line, charging for his quarry.
Her eyes widening as she felt InuYasha's full-demon presence, Kagome quickly erected a barrier around the village. After watching his attempts at charging and clawing the barrier, the angel sighed. 'He's not gonna give up…I'll have to challenge him, and lead him away from the village.' Sparing a glance at Shippou, Miroku, Sango and the frightened townspeople, the violet-eyed girl had her mind made up. She would not let harm come to her friends and loved ones! These people were innocents that the enraged dog demon would kill without a second thought. She would not let them die! Not a single one! "InuYasha, I challenge you to a fight!"
oOoOoOoOoOo
-Ducks rotten tomatoes and dodges pitchforks- I know, I know, I'm evil for leaving it there, don't kill me! I'll get the next one out as soon as I'm done with it, (I stink at battle scenes) and I'll try not to take forever! Sorry! The only other thing is that I want to send a big thank you to my reviewer, Natalie, who made me feel all fuzzy inside! Lol.
Natalie- Thanks! I'm trying to make the story comical (hence the tiger) but not frivolous. The story will develop a deeper plot (hopefully) as it goes on, but I'm trying to balance it out with humor. I hope I'll continue to write up to your expectations! Thanks for the luck; I'm sure I'll need it at some point! Thanks again!!
Anyway, guys, thanks for putting up with me this far, and I'll try not to disappoint!
