~Chapter 1: The Strange Meeting~
((A/N: ^_^ YEAH! Chap. #2 is finally up! Thankies to everyone who's sent me reviews. Keep it up. I hope everyone likes this chapter just as much as the last. This one's a little more exciting and the new character has some of my personality, if not all ^_^;; in her. Her name's Kiome (Key-o-may) and she's so.cool, different, exciting, and beautiful! Enjoy!))
*Five years later, InuYasha was strolling down the streets of Kaede's village. He looked at all of the people surrounding him, going about their business and buying fruit and fresh fish in the town's market. He smiled and bowed at several familiar faces.* Hey, InuYasha! I got your order right here! *He turned to the local butcher with a small grin.* Ah, thank you, Mr. Capa. *The old man tossed him a small parcel of meet. He caught it in midair without any struggle.*
*A young woman several yards from the village's outskirts suddenly gave a cry as she shot an arrow, turned on her heels, and fled. Her aiming was definitely well, but the arrow missed the target because of her hasty footing. (She has black hair with chocolate flavored eyes, and she's wearing the same uniform Kagome usually wore during her Jr. High years. Her hair looks exactly like Kikyo's, except it's in two ponytails instead of just one). She ran in the direction of the village, carrying a finely carved bow. A huge yellow sack full of different materials rested on her shoulders, and several arrows stuck out from the top.*
*A black, demonic sparrow swirled overhead and dodged the girls' arrow. It gave a deafening caw then plunged down. She barely dodged the horrid demon by casting herself onto the ground. She lay there helpless. Her ankle had been broken in the process, and now she was unable to move. Looking up, she saw the black creature make a large circle then turn around and fly back down towards her with its open talons. She gasped. There was no time to prepare another arrow*
*InuYasha's black ears twitched. As he turned around, he saw the bird move towards the girl. He dropped all of his belongings, save the sword Tetsusaiga (over the years, InuYasha had found a use for his extraordinary unique strength and skills that had remained in him. he had been declared the land's head guardsman, and it was his duty to protect all of the people from enemies, warriors, and demons).*
*He swiftly ran towards the girl and picked her up a half-second before the winged bird reached the spot where she lay. The bird's impact upon the ground was tremendous. A huge crater formed where he had struck. The girl in InuYasha's arms looked at the hole with wide eyes. He leapt forward and with much grace and very little effort, landed close to a small tree. He set her down gently* That coulda been you, ya know. Be a little more careful next time, will ya? *he smiled at her, then turned around and was gone.*
*InuYasha jumped into the air and landed in a soft, smooth motion as the demon managed to remove its many claws from all the dirt and soil. He stood up and dusted off after some of the dirt landed on him.* Now, I'm only going to say this once, so pay attention. *he smirked and his eyes glittered* Leave this land now, or leave this world in pieces. *The sparrow snickered evilly* I have no time to deal with you, brat. My affairs are with that young girl you just saved. *InuYasha looked back at the black haired beauty.* Who? Her? *It squawked angrily* Of course her, you idiot! Now kindly hand the female to me. She's none of your concern anyway. *InuYasha glared* Pah. You're sadly mistaken my friend. That girl is my business. I'm the guardian of this land, and my soul purpose is to protect these people. Everyone here's under my care. Why should that girl be treated any different? *he took out the Tetsusaiga slow-ly. It shimmered in the sun's light. His face turned very stern as it transformed* Now, I say again, leave or be slain!
*The sparrow began to flutter his wings.* Well, since we're setting down rules, let me also make one thing clear. I have very strict orders from my master, granting me permission to kill anything, whether they be mortal or demon, *the black bird grinned, noting his dog ears* or both, should they stand in my way. Now, let me pass and take the girl, and your life may be sparred. *InuYasha frowned, he didn't understand what the bird was muttering about him being both* Listen here, pal! First off, I ain't no demon! And second, there's no way I'm letting you take her! You've been warned! Arrrgghh!!
*He tilted the sword in his hands, then jumped into the air high. He chuckles at the bird's mixed and confused expression of his high jumping capabilities, right before slicing one of his huge wings off. The bird immediately began to fall from the sky for the lack of balance. He cried out in pain all the way down with black ooze coming from the wound*
*As the black half-winged demon crashed into the ground once more, InuYasha landed near his side. He smirked* Had enough? I don't believe breaking off your other wing is really all that necessary, now is it?
*The dark creature slowly lifted its head.* You will pay dearly for this, half-breed. My master will cease the girl (one way or another), take her life-her gem, and destroy you. *InuYasha frowned* What are you talking- *The demon suddenly made one last, desperate attempt and lounged at him with a strong energy blast from its mouth. InuYasha, surprised by his action, had barely enough time to react at such an unexpected move. He held up the Tetsusaiga for protection. The blast bounced off without so much as a scratch. However, the sparrow wasn't as fortunate. Its own energy came back with full force, and it spat against him with unmerciful burning flames. The creature's body was beginning to melt. Soon, nothing was left of the creature, with the exception of a roasted corpse.*
*He kicked sand at its dead body before turning to the village and all of the people that had been watching the pointless fight. He grinned as he returned Tetsusaiga to its sheath* Anyone up for barbeque? *he said with little or no humor in it*
*After he had made certain that the bird's carcass was destroyed, InuYasha went back to where he had set the girl. To his surprise, she wasn't there. He looked from side to side, but she was no where to be found. He bent down to the ground and tried to track her scent. ((A/N: it had only been three years since he learned that he had unnatural smelling capabilities)) He soon caught it with very little effort. For some odd reason he smiled; the smell was strangely familiar to him, yet it had a small difference than from what he remembered. It smelled like cherry blossoms. He began to search back into his memory, trying to remember where he had smelled the beautiful fragrance before. His head soon began to throb in pain, much like it usually did when he tried to remember things from his deep, forgotten past.*
*He fell onto the grass with a hard crash. His head ached badly, but he struggled to keep conscious. Closing his eyes, he fought the pain and held his breath until it slowly went away. After the aching had ceased, and his breathing had turned to normal, InuYasha opened his eyes again. He saw the girl standing over him with a damp cloth. She was patting his head gently and smiling down at him. He looked up at her for a brief second, thinking he had seen Kagome's soft face. He shook his head into reality and saw that she wasn't the same person; then he sat up. He noticed that her ankle was no longer broken.*
*InuYasha eyed her suspiciously* Who are you girl, and how did your leg heal that fast? You some kind of demon, like that monster I just slew? If I had known that, I would've handed you to the bird long ago! *she put the rag away then stood up.* Gee, thanks. That makes me feel lots better. *she rolled her eyes* Name's Kiome, you must be InuYasha, and no, I'm not a demon. I just have a special technique that allows me to heal quickly *he slowly got to his feet as well.* Er, I don't remember you.have we met? You seem to know me, and yet I have no memory whatsoever of meeting you? *She turned her head in another direction* Nope. But that's because this is my first time here. I've been told a lot about you from someone who once lived here. *he raised an eyebrow* Excuse me? *Looking back at him, she straightened her bow.* Oh, this is my first time in this land. You see, I'm not from around here.
*he looked at her even more puzzled. Kiome turned back in the same direction, this time, it seemed like she was looking for a particular object in the distance.* In fact, I'm not even from this time. *she whispered, scanning all the landscape for any sign of something coming her way.*
*InuYasha stepped back* WHAT!? That makes no sense? *she turned to him again.* Yes, well, I'm sorry. I don't have any spare moment right now to explain myself. I must be off. I've wasted far too much time here already. Thank you for saving me. *she walked up to him, stood on her tip-toes, then gave him a quick kiss on the lips before running off in the direction she had been staring at*
*InuYasha's cheeks turned beet red. He was dumbfounded, confused, and needless to say, somewhat surprised at her last gesture. He paused for a few seconds and then ran off after her. He caught up to her in no time* What was THAT? *she turned to him innocently as she continued to run* What? *InuYasha sweat dropped* Whatcha mean 'What'!? That kiss! What'da kiss me for? *she slowed her run down to a small trot, then completely stopped altogether.* Hmm. Don't know. It was just a kiss for goodness sakes anyway. What's the big deal about it? *He slapped his head with his hand and drug it all the way down his face* You don't just go up to people and kiss them for no reason! Especially upon the lips! *she put her hands on her hips then slowly began to walk again* Well, excuse me. I was just being very grateful to you for saving my life! It's not like it meant anything. If I really wanted to kiss you, you'd know.
*He grabbed her arm* Well, regardless, I still need to ask you a few questions before you just go and decide to run off like that. *she slapped his arm off* I don't have to tell you anything! Now, leave me alone. You're starting to tick me off! *He grabbed her again* Hey, nobody just comes into my territory, brining a demon enemy like that much less, without getting me involved! Now, tell me who that sparrow was and what he wanted! *she pushed him aside, then crossed her arms and took a step back.* Sit boy!! *he immediately fell face forward onto the ground. He cringed in pain*
What the HE!L?!?! *she began walking away once more. He grabbed her ankle, the one that had been broken earlier. Although it was now completely healed, the ankle still hurt when it was touched. She screamed as she fell down and landed three feet in front of him. She turned around and fought to get free. When she realized that his grip was too strong, she flipped her other leg around and kicked him in the face. He yelled loudly in pain and brought both hands to him, letting her go. She struggled to get up.*
*InuYasha jumped into the air and landed in front of her. She stopped dead in her tracks and brought her hand swiftly to his face, trying to slap him. He caught her hand and held on tightly, finding it hard to keep a good grip on her. She growled angrily and tried to use her other free hand to slap him again. He caught the hand in much the same way. She growled louder.*
*He chuckled lightly, not having this much fun in many months. His face soon turned stern again, however* Now, just tell me! That's all I want to know. *she spat at him* No! It's nunya. *He looked at her confused* Nunya? *still growling at the loss of her hands and wriggling to get free, she answered* Yeah. Nunya dang business!!
*she struggled with her hands, but no matter how much she tried to get out of his hold, his grip just tightened even more. Finding no other option to get free, Kiome brought her leg up to the very sensitive spot in the middle of his legs. His eyes widened in horrible, indescribable pain. Realizing that this was her only chance of escape, she jerked her hands away. He fell to the ground and groaned in pain* You'll pay.grrr.for that! *He managed to chock out. Frowning, she began to run away once more.* Doubt it.
