AN: My first Inuyasha fic. Please don't flame me if you think it's really bad.
Swords, Talons and Love
In little chirps she giggled as she eyed the large shard in her talons, Naraku hadn't given this up
easily. She was still tending her wounds, no doubt so was Naraku. Their battle had been fierce,
attracting almost all the youkai in the area. Only with the speed and power her father's talon had
granted her could she escape with it.
Now she just had to find the rest of the Shikon Jewel and she would have the power to take her
revenge on the murderer of her mother and younger brother.
Expression darkening she snarled as best her beak would allow. Yes, she would find the bone
white haired half youkai she'd seen leaving the village her mother and brother had been visiting
while she waited in the trees. Looking at the shard one last time she popped it into a pouch
around her neck and sealed it with a ward. The shard could not be detected by anything or
anyone now.
Taloned fingers and hands protected by dragon scales flexing in her anger she spread the wings on
her back she left her nest in search of the rest of the Jewel.
Torikari would have her revenge.
"We have to find the rest of the Shikon no Tama! You can't leave wench!"
"I have to Inuyasha! The final exams are coming in three weeks! If I don't pass then I won't be
able to get into a good High School!"
It was the same old, same old. Kagome had to return to her time to go to school and Inuyasha
wanted her to stay to find the rest of the Shikon Shards.
Inuyasha's ear twitched and the rosary beads around his neck tingled with the tone of her voice,
the tone that was usually followed by a very painful 'Sit'.
"More stupid tests?!" He ears flattened in annoyance. "What good is an education anyway?"
"It's important! Education teaches for the future! If I want to catch up in my studies I need at
least three weeks!"
Inuyasha's golden eyes widened and his ears practically vanished.
"Three weeks?! No way wench!" He moved to grab her arm to prevent her from going. But
that's when she said 'IT'.
That word he loathed.
"SIT!"
WHUMP!
"Sorry. See you in three weeks Inuyasha!" She said as she vanished into the Bone Eaters Well,
leaving Inuyasha screaming obscenities into the dirt.
Kagome climbed out of the well, even muffled by the dirt Inuyasha's swearing had turned her ears
a slightly pinkish colour.
As she walked away from the well-house toward her home she heard the faint sound of claws on
stone and fumed. Inuyasha had followed her! How dare he! She was going to Sit him so hard
it'd make his ancestors dizzy if he dared try to drag her back!
Crossing her arms she tapped her foot as she waited for the unfortunate half-youkai to emerge
from the well house.
Who came from the well house was not Inuyasha.
This Youkai had a Hawk's head but human-like dark violet eyes and long black hair with a streak
of silver running diagonally from each temple and along her hair until they met in the middle.
Tiny red and black feathers covered her face, around her beak, down her throat and seemed to
end at the neckline of a very loose coat and pants like Inuyasha's except it was deep blue and
seemed to made entirely of feathers.
Large black and silver wings were folded on her back with the tips about an inch from the ground.
Kagome gulped at the large, curved and wickedly sharp talons adorning her fingers.
"What is this place? It is too noisy and smelly . . ."
Kagome mirrored the look of puzzlement on the youkai's face. She wasn't going to be attacked
for once?
"I don't know how you got here . . . but this is my world you're in."
The youkai sniffed.
"I have no quarrel with humans. And you abuse our tongue. Learn to speak as a proper lady
should!" With a whirl and a flurry of feathers she made her way to the well in small, ladylike
steps. That's when Kagome noticed that the odd youkai's long legs were not like a human's but
like a bird's, bent backward at the knee.
"Kagome! Are you alright?!" Inuyasha's voice sailed from the well. He walked out. "I sensed
the youkai . . ."
"You!" She suddenly screeched as she opened her wings. Inuyasha stood in front of her and
glanced at Kagome, not a scratch on her.
Both stood in a ready position for a moment before lunging. Talons ready to rip and render,
Tetsusiaga a normal, rusted katana; not transforming anytime soon.
Ducking low Torikari spread her talons and just about dis-embowelled Inuyasha. But he jumped
to the right and brought a knife-hand down on her neck, with a scream of pain she grabbed her
father's talon by the hilt and swung as it formed into a long, keen black blade. Inuyasha met her
blade with his for lack of any other proper defence. As their swords swung and clashed with
occasional claw swipes Kagome had vanished into the shrine and reappeared with a set of rosary
beads in her hands.
I don't know what this youkai's problem is, but I'm going to find out before Inuyasha kills her!
Besides, she's only half youkai like Inuyasha so the beads should work!
Mumbling the spell under her breath she slipped behind the two fighters slammed the necklace
around her neck.
Startled, Torikari looked at the beads and then Kagome. Kagome struggled for the word as she
backed away from the half bird youkai.
" . . ."
Torikari lunged, she would be no slave to anyone!
"PERCH!" Kagome finally screamed.
WHUMP!
The rosary beads glowed and sent Torikari to the ground, holding her in place there.
Grinning at the opportunity Inuyasha lunged, knowing an easy victory. Or it would have been.
"SIT!"
WHUMP!
"Damn girl! I had her!" Inuyasha screamed as he got up.
Feeling the beads release her hold on the ground Torikari turned her murderous intent toward
Inuyasha again and the battle raged once more as her talons left four gashed on Inuyasha's chest.
His firerat coat protecting him from anything too serious.
"PERCH PERCH PERCHPERCHPERCHPERCHPERCHPERCHPERCHPERCH! SIT SIT
SIT SITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSIT!"
WHUMP!
WHUMP!
Regaining her breath after such long strings of Perch's and Sit's she looked at the two grumbling
half youkai.
"Now then, what's your problem with Inuyasha?"
Torikari grumbled slightly before regaining as much posture as she could in her current position.
"That murderer took the life of my mother and my younger brother 50 years ago." She hissed
while shooting him a deadly glare. "I have sworn to take my revenge."
"No, he didn't." Kagome said softly. "He was framed by Naraku, you know of his shape
changing powers, right?"
Suddenly for Torikari it all clicked, why their scents differed, what Naraku had been gloating
about before she stole his shard.
Her anger made her youkai blood pound through her veins and gave her the strength to stand up,
spread her wings to their fullest and screech to the sky.
"I SHALL KILL HIM!"
