Disclaimer: No I don't own Inuyasha.
Chapter1
Kagome crouched in a tree that was just far enough in the darkness of the forest for her to be comfortable with her position, and looked out upon the scene before her.
Red tiles of clay showed invitingly at Kagome as she examined the blinding white walls of the shrine. It seemed to be in a very easily defended position, even though it was in the far corner of the small village it rested in.
It had been three days since she had set up her watch of the shrine and its holder.
Over those three days though, she had been amazed at how many humans had tried to pillage the jewel from the shrine.
Each and every time, the white haired hanyou had gone out and with a few arrows, stopped the human from getting too close to the jewel.
Sadly though the weak and stupid ones had been a little more persistent and the hanyou had to use a purifying arrow on them. Meaning instant death.
Tugging on her green pants and shirt, Kagome leaped farther into the forest, heading for the cave she was sleeping in for now. Deciding that she had waited long enough, she started to prepare for her first run on the shrine. (Kagome is wearing an outfit much like the one Kikyo wears in the anime. I don't know what it is called, so oh well.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inuyasha was busy training in a field behind the shrine when he felt the first telling tingle of a human nearby.
For three days he had felt the persistent nudging on his heightened senses of a human watching him. Though it never approached, he couldn't shake the strange feeling that it wasn't benevolent like the others who came for the jewel.
Straightening up, Inuyasha perked his ears as he took another arrow from the quiver at his back. The target on the other side of the field was filled full of slices, where arrows had reached it countless times and as he pulled back the bow, he noted its position with half attention as he once again checked on the position of the interloper. Letting go, he hit the target dead center.
Walking over to the stump he left his water canteen on, Inuyasha scanned the tree line as he absently dusted a stray fleck of cherry blossom petal from his red jacket.
As he reached the canteen, his head jerked up suddenly at the feel of the human retreating. Smiling grimly to himself, he acknowledged wearily that it would be back. They always came back.
Sorry it is so short. I promise it will pick up next chapter.
