Hello. I had originally written this for a school thing, but decided oh what the hell, why not put it
up too! And so, here's another one… I am wa~~y too obsessed with Inu-chan…
~*~*~*~*~*~

Inu-Yasha, the Inu-Youkai

A village in the feudal era of Japan is burning. The villagers, most of them men, stood in its
streets watching a young man with white hair, wearing a pink kimono, & dog ears on the top of
his head flying in the air holding a small, black, round, & glass-like object. They all watched him
with fear.
"Too bad guys. I'm taking the Shikon no Tama," the young man can be heard saying.
"Inu-Yasha!" a voice shouts. The next thing that happens is the young man, or should I
say youkai, finds an arrow imbedded in his chest. The same voice calls out his name again.
A young woman with long black hair & wearing a Japanese miko's robe is standing in front
of Inu-Yasha with a bow in her hand & blood on her shoulder & face. She was the one that had
just pinned Inu-Yasha to a tree. Before Inu-Yasha faints/dies, you can hear him whispering,
"Ki…Kikyou. You bitch…how could you…"
After Inu-Yasha had died, Kikyou collapsed from lose of blood & picked up the Shikon no
Tama, which Inu-Yasha had dropped from surprise. Her younger sister, Kaede, ran up to her in
hopes of being able to do something for her deep wounds.
"Onee-sama, you should get some treatment for your wounds," Kaede said. Several
villagers walked up to the priestess, hoping to be able to help her.
"No, I am too far gone. Listen carefully, Kaede…" Kikyou says, as she holds up the Shikon
no Tama. "You must burn this with my remains. So that it shall never fall into the hands of evil
ones again."
As Kikyou's body is being burned with the Shikon no Tama in a fire, her soul whispers
something that no one can hear. "I will take the Shikon no Tama to the other world."
** Fifty Years Later **
A slight tremor went through Inu-Yasha's Forest, named after the very demon that had
been sleeping there for fifty years. The tremor may not have been big, but it had been created by
a mysterious magical force, not that far away. The tremor broke the seal on Inu-Yasha that had
kept him asleep the entire time.
After waking up again, the enchanted arrow that kept Inu-Yasha to the newly named Go-
Shinboku tree broke. He landed gracefully to the ground & sniffed the air. Many seasons had
gone by was all he could tell from the scents, partly because the smells that he recognized were
now very old trails, & the trees that he had lived in for many years had aged a bit.
"Kikyou, it was you who had pinned me to that tree so many years ago. I'll hunt you down
& kill you myself. Then I'll take the Shikon no Tama & change into a full youkai," Inu-Yasha said
as he made his way to a small clearing. He muttered a few words that would hopefully help him to
find Kikyou's soul. He didn't know that Kikyou had died the year he had been pinned. A portal
opened, & Inu-Yasha flew in.
When he came out on the other side, he was surprised as to what he saw. Buildings &
houses that were taller than the tallest tree, & he could smell something foul that had become part
of the air. The only thing that he recognized was by smell, & that was the Go-Shinboku tree, but
not even that seemed to smell right. He suddenly caught the scent of humans nearby, & followed
it to a house. The house also looked somewhat like a shrine, & had a familiar smell inside it. The
scent smelled a lot like…Kikyou.
"Onee-chan! It's dinner time, & we're having oden tonight," a young boy on the stairs
shouted up to his sister in her room.
"Oden! Alright, my favorite food!" a girl now at the age of 15 screeched as she ran out of
her room. This girl looked a lot like Kikyou, except that she had slightly shorter & wavier hair,
wider eyes, & she wore a green, Japanese school fuku.
"Kagome, did you ever hear about the legend of the Shikon no Tama?" an old man sitting
at the dinner table asked the girl. "It is the main story, besides the Bone-Eaters Well, of this
shrine."
"Jii-chan, do you always talk about legends? Today is my birthday, & you gave me a kapa
hand & tried to tell me another legend," Kagome said.
"Yes, & you fed the thing to Buyo, our cat. Do you have any clue as to how expensive that
is?" the grandfather replied.
All of a sudden, their screen door was slid open, & Inu-Yasha is standing in the doorway
with his face in a shadow & his eyes were glowing white. His hair looked like it was glowing
because of the moon shining off of it. He was growling & you could clearly see his canine fangs.
"Kikyou… I have found you. Now I'm going to kill you for what you had done to me.
Unless you hand over the Shikon no Tama, I won't even think about sparing your life," Inu-
Yasha said threateningly as he cracked his knuckles. The entire time, he had been looking at
Kagome & only Kagome.
The entire family was extremely surprised & stunned to be unexpectedly interrupted by a
man with white hair that looked very much like a ghost, that they all jumped up. The first one to
recover was Jii-chan, who threw something that looked like a paper seal or spell at Inu-Yasha. All
Inu-Yasha did was rip the paper apart & walk towards Kagome.
Kagome noticed his advancements & started to back away. When her back hit the wall, she
turned around & ran into the kitchen. From there, she ran outside, down all the steps that led
from her house to the sidewalk, & then headed for the nearest Tokyo park. Every 5 minutes, she
would turn around to find the youkai still flying behind her & almost right above her.
The park was a large one, filled with trees, bushes, & many other types of foliage. There
were lamps along the paths, which had lighted the way earlier, but Kagome had veered off the
paths to avoid being seen so easily, in hopes of losing the thing that was chasing her. What she
didn't know was that the thing that was chasing her was an inu-youkai, a demon with a very
acute sense of smell & sharp eyesight, making it practically impossible to escape from.
The trees are close together, but are still far enough for Inu-Yasha to fly & still see Kagome
running. All of a sudden, he dives down with his claws extended & he is about to hit Kagome
when she suddenly tripped over a tree root. Inu-Yasha's claws miss her by a few inches, & create
a large hole in the ground. Inu-Yasha jumps back & leaps again ready to strike at Kagome.
Kagome sees this & covers herself with her arms. Doing this, Kagome unknowingly creates a
purple magical shield that completely covers her. When Inu-Yasha hits the shield, groups of small
round purple looking objects are created. These objects rush toward Inu-Yasha & encircle his
neck.
"What the--" Inu-Yasha says completely out of surprise.
During this time, Kagome notices the small dog ears that are on top of his head. Without
knowing why, she suddenly shouts a single word, "Sit!" Saying this word, Inu-Yasha falls to the
ground face first. Upon impact, Inu-Yasha began to start cursing, saying all types of words that
could have made a hard-core sailor gasp in horror.
"What the hell is this?!" Inu-Yasha yells as he looks down at his neck, where a monk's
rosary is now hanging. He got up & tried to pull it off, but every time he tried to get it past his
chin, the beads would light up & resist his pull.
"Get this thing off of me, Kikyou!" Inu-Yasha yelled at Kagome. Kagome looked around
to see who he had been talking to, but there was no one else around at all.
"Who are you talking to?" Kagome asked thoroughly confused.
"I'm talking to you of course, Kikyou. Don't pretend that you don't know me. You were
the one that had pinned me to the bloody tree all those years ago, bitch!" Inu-Yasha replied.
"Bitch?! Who are you calling a bitch? And what do you mean by 'all those years ago'?! I
would've been to young, or not even born yet. What are you talking about?" Kagome asked
completely outraged. "& another thing. Why in the world are you calling me Kikyou? My name is
Kagome. Ka-Go-Me! You got that! Not whoever this Kikyou person is," she said while looking
directly into his sparkling amber eyes.
Inu-Yasha walks up to Kagome & takes a closer look at her. "You really aren't… Kikyou,"
he said as if in disappointment.
"What do you think I was trying to tell you the whole time?" Kagome asked him in
exasperation.
"Kikyou was more beautiful looking," he said while looking away.
"WHAT?!?!? Why you… I can't believe you just said that!" Kagome says as a very
angry expression crossed her face, & several veins pop up on her head. She stood up & her
anger became an aura surrounding her. Along with this aura, a glow in the shape of a circle is seen
through her uniform on the left side underneath her ribs.
At this, the beads around Inu-Yasha's neck began to glow also, sensing the power of the
one that had created them. Kagome then proceeded to say a row of 'sits', causing Inu-Yasha to
have a great amount of back pain, & also causing the floor underneath him to become a crater.
When Kagome is finally finished, she looks down at him, but sees the glow inside of her instead.
As Inu-Yasha looks up from the ground, he notices it also.
As they keep on looking, the glowing circle begins to get brighter, & it seems to be drawn
out of Kagome's body. When it was completely out, the object floated in the air in front of
Kagome. She instinctively brought up her hands & held onto it, slightly covering it up. But before
closing her hands, Inu-Yasha saw what it was she was now holding.
"The Shikon no Tama! How did you get that?!" Inu-Yasha said as he gasped in surprise.
"I-I don't know… It just appeared right out of me…" Kagome answered. "What did you
call it again? What is it for? & how in the world did this thing end up inside of me?!"
Inu-Yasha was taken aback with the sudden onslaught of questions that were aimed right
at him. He didn't know which ones to answer first & which ones to not answer. He started
stammering before finally deciding to just answer her questions.
"It's called the Shikon no Tama, & it can give youkai, like myself, more powers. It had been
given to Kikyou, the person that I had mistaken you for, to purify the Jewel," Inu-Yasha
explained. "The only way that it could be part of you is if she had died, had the Jewel burned with
her, & then she was reborn as you… Which I'm beginning to think of as very likely…" This last
part was muttered to himself.
"Okay… That might explain that you thought I kinda looked & smelled like
Kikyou…whoever that is…" Kagome said. "& it brings up another question… What year are you
from?"
"I'm from the Sengoku Jidai. Can't you tell?" was all Inu-Yasha sarcastically said with a
snort & a "Feh".
"But that's about 500 years ago! This is already the 21st century," Kagome exclaimed.
"What?! You mean I traveled to a different time?!" Inu-Yasha said totally stunned. *Which
means that this girl really is Kikyou's reincarnation… & it means that either Kikyou had died
when she had pinned me, or she is still alive in my own time!*
Inu-Yasha then steps away from Kagome, & starts muttering words similar to what had
brought him to the future, except with words that would bring him back to the Sengoku Period.
Another portal opened, & he flew into that one with thoughts of coming back to check up on
this girl from the future again.
"Hey, where are you going?! I still want to know some things! Come back here!" Kagome
yelled after Inu-Yasha. But she was too late already, because Inu-Yasha was gone. She popped a
vein at this & started to walk home. The entire time, she was grumbling something about meeting
'the inu-youkai again & giving him as much sits as possible.'
She got home to find her brother, Okaa-san, & Jii-chan waiting for her. They had all been
worried about her since she had ran out of their home, but thought it wise that they stay here.
"Kagome, are you okay? Did anything happen to you?" Mrs. Higurashi, Kagome's mother,
asked, her voice full of concern.
"What was that thing that was chasing after you, 'Nee-chan?" Souta asked.
"Was that a youkai that had tried to attack you?" was all Jii-chan had to say.
Kagome couldn't believe her family. Right when she walks in, she gets asked what had
attacked her. The only one that really seemed to care was her mother. Kagome sighed at this &
proceeded to answer their questions.
After some time, Kagome finally finished reassuring her family, & went to bed. She had had
an exhausting day, & fell asleep when her head hit the pillow. But ever since that day, Kagome
had felt like there was a familiar pair of sparkling amber eyes that were watching her…

fifty years later.)

Okay… you can tell me what you think about it. I'll take any kind of comment right about now…
