The train comes to a quick halt at the station, causing almost everyone to fall over. There are only a few people seated about the train, mostly business men coming home early from work. We look around to see a high school girl sitting alone on one side of the car, fidgeting nervously. She wears a prestigious school uniform, from the top high school in the city. It consists of a short pleated blue and green plaid mini skirt, a kaki sweater vest with the school's emblem over her heart, which she wears over a crisp white button up collar short sleeve shirt. She has slouchy knee socks on and she wears the traditional black Mary Jane school girl shoes. She holds her leather school bag on her lap and looks out the window, trying to ignore the stares she's getting from an elderly business man who has seated him self directly across from her on the other side of the train. Of course it's nothing she isn't used to; foreign women are all just toys for the big CEOs here in Tokyo. The girl sighs to herself and pulls her skirt down and fidgets with her bag.
Her name is Kyoko, or at least that's her Japanese name, her mother thought it best she take a Japanese name to fit in better. Kyoko moved to Japan with her father so she could go to a better school. Her father, who recently died a few short months ago, was all Kyoko had in the big metropolis. She turns 15 today, and already living on her own. She would have gone to live with her relatives, but no one would take her in, a half Japanese girl from an unapproved marriage. Though she's half Japanese she doesn't look it. Her deep sea- blue eyes shine with unshed tears that have been building up for months. Her waist length golden blond hair is tied up in a high bun, allowing a few strands to come down and frame her face. She rides the train alone, for she has never been able to make friends in this new surrounding. Perhaps if she was normal she could make friends.
Kyoko moved to Japan three years ago from Germany after her mom died, her father was on a business trip there when he met her mother in Berlin. The family never approved of the marriage, Kyoko had only met her relatives once, at her father's funeral. It was decided that Kyoko was to go to Japan with her father to attend a better school, and she excelled from the moment she arrived. Kyoko received the best grades in the school, and soon was tops in the city, planning on the law program at Tokyo U when she graduated. The other students thought her snooty, with her rich father and good grades. They never tried to reach out to her. Kyoko didn't only come for school, she came for the opportunity to train during her summer vacations with some of the best martial arts sensei (teachers) in the world. In the new environment Kyoko had plenty of time to devote to her training, and she soon became very talented.
"Huh? Oh, uh, K- Konichiwa," Kyoko shakes out of her daze, and now sits beside her an attractive young man with long white hair in an Italian business suit. Before she could ask the man anything he takes her hand, places something in it and curls her fingers over it. "You, truly are the one, you're adventure awaits you," Shocked Kyoko turns her gaze from the young man to her hand. She uncurls her fingers and there lays a small shrine charm, a tiny green marble with a tag that says "SUNSET SHRINE" Kyoko turns back to the man, "Wait, I don't understand-", but he has disappeared. *Ok, gotta lay off the natto, it's making me a bit loopy, I guess I just need to go home and lie down,*
The train comes to a halt and the loud speaker announced Kyoko's stop. Kyoko gathers her bag and steppes off the train into what should have been a busy train station, but rather she finds herself in the middle of an overgrown forest.
"What the-" "Shhhh, come with me!" Suddenly a little girl in an old fashioned yukata appeared at Kyoko's side and began to tug at her skirt. Kyoko lent the girl her hand and the girl took off into the forest, dragging Kyoko behind her. "Wait I don't understand," The little girl just turned and smiled at her, but continued to run through the brush, her long dark hair trailing behind her. Then she stopped and pulled Kyoko down to whisper in her ear, "We're here!" Kyoko straightened up and looked about confusedly; in front of her is a giant "Go- Shinboku" God- tree covered in vines. "Huh?" Kyoko looked to where the little girl stood beside her, but she had vanished.
"What the hell is going on, that's two disappearing people in one day..." That's when Kyoko realized where she had seen this place before. *AHHHH, I'm inna manga!! But isn't there supposed to be a boy stuck to that tree or something, and aren't I supposed to be wearing some green sailor uniform or something??*
"Konichiwa, Kyoko- san" "Ah! Whose there?" Kyoko turned her gaze from the tree to look around the glade, but she could see no one around who might have greeted her. "Who are you??" "I" THUD, "Am the demon Sesshó- Maru," Kyoko swiveled around to see the young man from the train standing before her, but no longer so attractive as he wore some weird kimono armor and a smirk on his face that was certainly disconcerting. But unlike on the train he didn't even look human. His long white hair fell below his waist, his ears were pointed like an elf's, and it looked as if he had painted his face for there were two red streaks on either cheek, and a purple crescent moon in the middle of his forehead. The most troubling features though were his pointed nails that formed like claws and his eerie golden eyes.
"W-wait, I know you! You're that guy from the train!" The demon just raised an eyebrow in confusion. "I have been expecting you, so it is time for us to go..." The strange man advanced towards Kyoko who cautiously backed away. "I'm, sorry, but I think I hear my mother calling, gotta go-" "I'm sorry, I can't let you go..." In the blink of an eye the strange man had appeared right behind Kyoko and had grasped her wrist. "I reeeealy don't have time for this so just- oof," Kyoko flipped her hand palm to the sky and scraped his grip off with the other hand in one fluid motion. Freed she dropped her knee where the ball of her foot had previously been, she stuck her hands on the ground to steady herself then shot her leg out and swept the man's ankles right out from underneath him. She got up quickly without using her hands, took on step towards the fallen demon and ax kicked him in his neck then took off running.
Sesshó- Maru stood, slightly bewildered and rubbed his bruised neck. *That little bitch! I have never been fallen by any demon let alone a mortal girl... she is stronger than I anticipated...* Sesshó- Maru stood and took off after Kyoko into the woods.
*****
As Kyoko ran she heard the man stand up and run after her. *How can he stand?!?! That kick should have killed him!!!* Even more frightened Kyoko ran, not sure of what she was running away from or even to, until- "Oof!" "Hey!" Kyoko looked up at what she had run into. There stood a man in a red old styled kimono, covered in herbs, which he had had in a basket until Kyoko had run into him. "Sorry sir, but you gotta help me!!!! There's this crazy guy chasing me, and he won't die, and I think he's gonna rape me!!" "What the fuck are you talking about?!" Said the man in the red kimono as he bent down to pick up the herbs he had dropped. That's when Kyoko noticed the two fluffy dog ears that sat upon the man's head.
"AHHHHHH! You're one of them!!!!!" Kyoko ran off again, continuing on the path she had started until she had run into the dog man.
*Where the hell am I? Wonder land!!! This better not be like Miyuki- Chan in Wonderland, brrrr, think heterosexual thoughts, heterosexual thoughts...*
"What the fuck was that all about?" Said the half dog demon Inu Yasha as he stood up after finally retrieving all the herbs he had dropped. *God I hate doing this for Kaede... What the-* For the second time that day Inu Yasha was plowed into the ground by some foreign running creature, causing him to again drop his carefully gathered herbs. "What the fuck is it now!?!?! Huh?" Inu Yasha stood to find a fuming Sesshó- Maru sprawled out in font of him. "What the fuck is going on today?!" Fully recovered Sesshó- Maru stood gracefully and stared straight at Inu Yasha. "BAKA! You're in my way!!" "Well go around me baka!" "No! You move, my prey is getting away!!" "Hey, is that a bruise on your neck?" "No... that's a hickey, from one of my many boy- I mean giiiirrrrl friends..." *Close one there* "Yeah sure, but since when are hickeys foot print shaped, that boy of yours has one odd shaped mouth-" "FOOL! GET OUT OF MY WAY!" "Waita sec... you wouldn't happen to be chasing a mortal girl would you?" "IT IS NOT FOR YOU TO KNOW! "OMG! U WERE WOOPED MY A LITTLE GIRL! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA- ouff" Sesshó- Maru plowed through Inu Yasha, knocking him over onto his fallen herbs, then trampled him, causing the herbs to become squished beyond use. "SHIT! Wait, those two are heading towards the village... SHIT!" Abandoning the squished herbs Inu Yasha took off after the two into the forest in the direction of the village.
*****
Kyoko was still running at a break neck pace, but she could feel the lactic acid begin to build up in her legs and her breath was ragged. *I can't go on forever, but If I stop one of those creatures will catch me, but I don't even know where I'm running to, it's not like I'm gonna find any help out here in the wilderness...*
That's when Kyoko spied an opening behind the trees, *The edge of the forest! Maybe there will be someone there...* With renewed hope Kyoko ran towards the opening in the trees, she could see the sunlight filtering through the gaps, with her last burst of energy Kyoko made it through the gap in the trees into the clearing. She stopped for a moment to get her bearings. The sunlight hurt her eyes after being in the dark forest, but before her about 300 meters away was a small village of primitive wooden hovels. *Thank the stars!!!* Kyoko began to limp towards the village, clutching the stitch in her side. A smile had spread across her face, she didn't care weather these people were friend or foe, but as long as they were human. Off to the side of the village Kyoko could see the rice patties *Unless they're warrior farmers, I think I'll be ok* But before Kyoko even had time to decided weather or not there was such a thing as farmer- hunters the bushes behind her began to rustle and shake, and before she could blink Sesshó- Maru had sprung from one of the tall trees and landed between Kyoko and the village.
"Thought you could get away could you? No one strikes me and lives..." "Wow, you're getting cornier and the years go by, Sesshó- Maru," Kyoko turned her gaze from the demon in front of her to see the dog man she had run into emerge from the forest. "AHHHHH THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!! Nooo... I'm too young to be eaten! I'm still a virgin! NOOO! I won't be able to get into Tokyo U if I'm dead! Or, get my 3rd degree, or see Tokyo ever again-" "Shut up woman! We're not going to eat you!" "Huh?" "Inu Yasha back off from my prey! How do you know I'm not going to eat her?!" "Ewww! You eat mortals! I knew you were sick fluffy..." "Hey she's getting away!" As the two demons were bickering Kyoko had begun to make her way towards the village, as they turned on her she began to run as fast as she could (which wasn't very fast at this point) towards her beacon of hope, the village. *I'm- I'm gonna make it!!!* "And where do you thing you're going little girl?!" Sesshó- Maru had punched Inu Yasha, then took off after Kyoko. He now had her by the wrist and she could feel his long nails cutting into her skin. "Let- GO!" Kyoko balled her hands into fists and like she had practiced so many times before she crossed her free hand under her trapped arm and in one quick motion she brought it up to push away his hand while she twisted the captured arm to break free, a simple move that would work on anyone back home, even the strongest of grown men, but miraculously the demon's hand stayed out. "AHHH! How do you do that?!" "Silly little girl, did you really think your stupid mortal fighting techniques would work on the great Sesshó- Maru?!?! HAHAHAHA-"Suddenly a rock (more like a boulder) appeared out of no where embedded in Sesshó- Maru's cheek, but his grip on Kyoko stayed put.
Kyoko turned to see the dog man panting, hunched over, a trail of dried blood flowing from his nose to his upper lip. "Thought- you- could- get- the- best- of- me- bastard!" Sesshó- Maru recovered from his shock, and rubbed his now pink cheek. "I suppose I underestimated you Inu Yasha, but not by much, you did recover from my punch, but I was completely preoccupied with the girl and the best you could do was throw a rock? You could have stabbed me in the back, or cut off my head, or something slightly more intelligent than hurling the largest thing you could get your hands on at my head." "It doesn't matter; I got you to stop right? Now, I can't let you just take the girl who was able to knock you out, so hand her over," "You want her? Come and get her!" Sesshó- Maru pulled on Kyoko's wrist (which during the whole interlude she had been tugging on with all her might) and spun her into his body, then dug the claws on his other had deep into her side. Kyoko cried out for a short moment, and lost the feeling in her legs, causing Sesshó- Maru to support her with the hand that had previously been holding her wrist. "Hey, stop it! You'll kill her!" "I have no intention of killing her, but if you just give up then we can be off and she'll be healed all the sooner, so just stop playing the hero!"
Kyoko's vision was starting to go fuzzy, she was loosing a lot of blood from both her wrist and her side. *There's- poison- in his claws- I can't hold on much longer...* From deep within her Kyoko called up what little strength she had and used it to bring her leg up behind her and strike Sesshó- Maru with her heel direct in the groin, causing him to crumple over and withdraw his claws from her side. Once free Kyoko half rolled, half crawled over to Inu Yasha, but blacked out half way there.
*****
This left Inu Yasha, standing over a moaning demon clutching his crotch while rolling around in the grass in fetal position, and one very bloodied, dirtied, unconscious girl. *The day just gets weirder and weirder,* Inu Yasha walked over to the girl and put his hand in front of her mouth to make sure she was still breathing, then gently stooped and scooped her into his arms, careful not to touch her side. He then walked over to the still moaning Sesshó- Maru, and with a smirk on his face kicked Sesshó- Maru in the head as hard as he could (which, considering Inu Yasha was pretty damn hard), then watched the demon pass out before he then proceeded to kick him again, sending the unconscious demon flying back off into the middle of the forest. *Well I guess I better take this girl to Kaede before she bleeds to death.
