Prowled down low at the ground, laid a savagely wounded girl, bleeding from any orifice possible. She pushed the crisped over, what was black cloak away from her face, stressing herself to stand up. Fiery crimson hair poured down her back, her wild bangs were pushed up with a black headband, which did nothing at the moment, considering her bangs were damp. They stuck dry to her to her pale forehead. She looked around with prudence, her crimson eyes shifting in another direction every few seconds. She was ripped from her clothing, leaving her in a shredded, scorched mildly, stained yellow shirt. Down below, hugging her hips were her shaded red under garments, she proceeded on, seeking for a hidden place.

A swift pushing of air passed her by quickly from the behind. She turned quickly, seeing nothing, but what was once a beautiful oasis. The plant life was rid with flames, the water being poisoned with arrangement of colors, reds mixed with blacks. She sniveled out in her dying voice, " Show yourself!"

A rasping cackle could be heard around her, she shifted her eyes left to right quickly wondering if she could spot him. She felt the breeze pass her back once again, only to turn and see nothing. At this point she was getting aggravated, hisses out, " Show yourself, I am tired of your little games!"

She got what she asked, from the shadows glowed bloodthirsty eyes; they were a soft amber color. She peered at him, wondering if he was finally going to show himself. He pushed from the shadows, silver locks of hair spilling down his back; just enough to hide his twitching white ears. His eyes now closed, he looked down with a mischievous sneer, laughing to himself. He thought that this was all fun and game, but he was really giving her a hard time. Burgundy robes clinched his body, hiding his savage looking hands; he only walked at her slow, looking up now. His amber eyes glistened before her. She growled from a distance, wondering what this was all about; brushing blood away from her lower lip she screeched out, " What is this all about?"

He laughed out loud to the calling cerulean moon, before speaking to her, to say, " You have something I want."

That is what everyone would say to her that crossed her path, only thing that made them different from him, was he was one tough cookie. She had to think of quick solutions of beating this thing; she didn't know what he was? Or who he was? All questions she needed to aim to find out. Looking to her bruised over body she said softly, " Well, whatever it is your sure as hell not getting it, after what you put me through, I don't think so. Plus I don't know you and what your intentions are. So how do you expect me to trust you with something I own?"

He sneered, showing a hint of his fangs as she calmed down slowly to say in a compassionate voice, " The name is Inuyasha. There you know me now, hand me what it is I seek."

She shook her head, only to say, " I don't think so, Mister Inuyasha, you sorta lost the trust you could of earned with me."

" What are you proposing here?"

" That if you don't earn my trust, your getting nothing from me."

Inuyasha turned his back from her, clenching his ears with his grimy, blood encrusted claws, screaming towards the sky in anger, " Why?!?"

She laughed some, recollecting the crisped black cloak and heading in the direction he was facing, he noticed her departure and followed behind her questioning her, " What will it take for I to gain your trust?"

She didn't even face him; she ensued forward, wrapping the cloak around her body. Inuyasha growled to himself as she shouted it louder, " Are you listening bitch? I am trying to talk with you."

She stopped in her tracks, looking at him through the corner of her eye, " Not only have you lost my trust, you have lost my respect. You're only digging yourself a deeper hole."

He growled to himself, then said in a relaxed manner, " Sorry, I am just a bit irritated at you, you're giving me a hard time."

She turned completely around, facing him with a look of distress on her face as she muttered out, " Hard time? You think me ignoring you is a hard time? Try getting your ass kicked badly! "

Inuyasha bit his lower lip, as he said still in a relaxed manner, " I am sorry, but I want to earn your respect and trust again."

" That is nice."

" How do I aim to do such a task?"

She was silent as she turned again walking away from him; he only followed her, questioning her again, " Well are you going to answer me?"

She was silent for a moment as she said, " Your going to have to adventure with me, that is the only way I can think of."

He sighed as he shouted out, " Travel? With you?"

She proceeded walking, " If you have a problem with it you don't have to come, but that means your wont get what you're wanting from me."

He cringed at the thought of traveling with her, but for the sake of him getting want he wanted he had to go. She chased her to her left side and looked at her, " By the way, what is your name?"

Not even looking at him she exclaims, " Lina, Lina Inverse."

With that they both, headed into the dawn of a new day.
