I don't own Inuyasha.

Rurouni Inuyasha
-----
It was dark. That was Inuyasha's first thought as he woke up. His eyes opened suddenly. Where was he? A forest? He tried to bring an arm up to his face, but found that he couldn't move an inch.
"What?" he thought in a panic. "What's going on?" Abruptly the memory washed over him.
~"Inuyasha!"
He felt pain as an arrow thudded through his heart. Inuyasha looked up at the person who shot him.
"Bitch..." he said as his vision darkened. "How dare you..."~
That's right, Kikyou had betrayed him. She had told him that she would give him the shikon no tama, then she had gone and turned on him. The bitch. So Inuyasha had gone to get the jewel himself, demolishing most of the village in the process. But who cared? The bastards deserved it! Then Kikyou killed him… shooting him through the heart with an enchanted arrow. Inuyasha glanced down at the arrow still pinning him to a tree. It would have been better if she had really killed him....
Speak of the devil. Er…priestess.
"I can smell her," he said aloud. "I smell the woman who killed me. She's coming closer...."
He listened attentively as the source of the smell came closer. Kikyou burst into the clearing, pursued by a huge centipede demon.
"Whatever you think I have, I don't have it!" she yelled at the centipede woman. The centipede woman didn't answer her, just rushed the girl who managed to duck at the last moment.
"Why are you toying with that wimpy centipede jourou opponent of yours?" Inuyasha had a bit of a snarl on his face when the girl looked up at him.
"Eh..? Who are...?"
What was this? Was she going to pretend not to know him? Fine. He could see through her little act.
"Why don't you settle this with a single blow, Kikyou," he paused, putting emphasis on the next bit. "Like when you killed me." He smirked a bit. To his surprise, she responded with anger.
"'Kikyou...' What are you saying? My name is--"
"It's coming," Inuyasha interrupted her, smelling the centipede monster.
The centipede woman came and rushed Kikyou again, grabbing her this time. Inuyasha wasn't too worried, Kikyou could handle herself. Besides, what did he care? She was the one who killed him after all.
Spears came out of nowhere, hitting the centipede demon, causing her to release Kikyou. She looked at the villagers, relieved.
"Sa..aved..." she gratefully murmured. Inuyasha furrowed his eyebrows. What was she doing; playing the innocent maiden?
"Keh, what a disgrace, Kikyou." Kikyou turned to him again in anger.
"Listen you," she began. "You're mistaking me for someone else. I'm not this Kikyou person!"
" Keh, you think I wouldn't know the stench of the woman who..." Inuyasha stopped as he looked at the girl for the first time. She looked like Kikyou, but she wasn't....
"You're...not Kikyou!"
The girl was still angry at him. "You get it now? My name's Kagome! Ka-Go-Me!"
He should've known. She wasn't acting the way Kikyou did at all. Kikyou never showed her anger; Kikyou could handle wimpy demons with no problem.
"I'm a fool. Kikyou is more intelligent looking. A beauty."
The girl was even angrier now. "You...!" At that moment a villager landed at their feet. The centipede woman grabbed the girl, who in turn grabbed Inuyasha. Or rather, she grabbed his hair.
"Let...me...go!!" the girl yelled while at the same moment Inuyasha yelled, "Ow ow ow ow leggo!"
"My body is troublesome," the centipede woman said. Inuyasha was wondering what she was getting at. "I will eat you along with the shikon no tama..."
Shikon no tama?! Inuyasha looked at the girl. She had it?
The centipede demon pulled harder on Kagome. The girl pushed a hand at the demon, yelling "Stop it!" and to Inuyasha's surprise the demon was blown away from them, losing a few arms in the process.
"Huh?" the girl made a surprised noise, apparently unaware of her power. Around them, the villagers looked on in awe at the girl. Inuyasha furrowed his eyebrows. Was this girl Kikyou after all? No, that wasn't possible, unless Kikyou had completely lost her memory...or her mind. Abruptly the demon rushed the girl again, taking a bite out of the girl's side. Inuyasha could only watch in amazement as the shikon no tama was pried from the girl's stomach. She had had it the entire time!
"As I thought, she had it hidden inside her body," the centipede woman said offhandedly as she rushed forward to gobble it up.
"THAT BALL IS MINE!!" Inuyasha yelled frantically. The girl looked up at him.
"What...?"
"Hand it over!" he yelled to her. But she didn't have a chance to because the centipede demon chose this moment to slam the girl into the tree Inuyasha was trapped on. The demon wrapped herself around the tree, trapping Inuyasha and Kagome together. The coils of the centipede woman's body tightened, crushing the girl. It didn't affect Inuyasha at all, to whom it was only an annoyance. The centipede demon regarded him.
"I've heard of a half-demon brat who is after the shikon no tama," she said. "Is that you?" The centipede woman was obviously very proud of herself and she chuckled a bit.
Half-demon brat, huh? Not if he could help it.
"Don't take me lightly, Centipede Jourou," Inuyasha said. "When I fight for real, a bitch like you is just a small fry."
The girl looked up at him. "Oi," she said. "You talk pretty big, but are you really strong?" Inuyasha regarded her with disgust. Stupid girl.
"You cannot move, can you, brat? That's some spell you're under," the centipede woman remarked. "Now, all you can do is watch while I devour the shikon no tama!"
"Shit!" Inuyasha cursed. After all the trouble he had gone through some stupid small fry ended up with the shikon no tama, and there was nothing he could do.
They all watched as the centipede woman began her transformation. Her arms returned to her from where they had previously lain on the forest floor, then her face cracked, revealing a much uglier centipede woman underneath, and new uglier arms burst out where her old ones had used to be. It was pretty disgusting…. Yep, really disgusting.
"How wonderful..." the centipede woman exclaimed. "I am now back to my full power!" The coils around the girl and Inuyasha tightened. Inuyasha glanced down at the girl, she was obviously in pain.
"Oi," he said to her. "This arrow, can you pull it out?"
The girl looked at him in confusion. "What?" Despite her confusion, the girl began reaching up to pull the arrow out.
"No! You must not pull that arrow out!" a voice yelled. Inuyasha looked and saw that it was an old woman with an eye patch over one eye. "That arrow is Inuyasha's seal! He cannot be set free!"
What was with this old witch? How could she hate him so much when he had never even met her?
"Are you stupid or somethin', grandma? Want to become centipede food?" he exclaimed, furious at her foolishness, did she really think that he would be worse than the centipede? All he was going to do was get the shikon no tama, and then he'd be on his merry way.
"Because if that thing completely absorbs the shikon no tama, there's no doubt we're all going to be centipede food," Inuyasha continued. He looked down at the girl crushed against him.
"How about it, girl? Do you want to die here with me?"
The girl's eyes narrowed in fury and she reached up to pull the arrow embedded into Inuyasha's chest out. Finally.
"Live again, Inuyasha!"
"That was pretty melo-dramatic," Inuyasha thought briefly before the magnitude of what had just happened occurred to him. He was free! He could feel it, and he began laughing as he watched the arrow in the girl's hand disappear. Free! He tried out his strength, and easily burst through the coils of the centipede woman, launching off the tree and landing in front of the startled demon.
"You brat," the centipede demon said, rushing towards him.
"Come and get it you stupid cow!" Inuyasha exclaimed, rushing towards the other demon as well. With a swipe of his Sankon Tetsusou, the centipede demon was nothing more than bits and pieces of flesh. What a great feeling it was! Watch out all you wimpy demons! Inuyasha is back!
Oh, wait...the shikon no tama, right. Inuyasha turned around to find the old hag and young wench picking through the remains of the demon. Somehow, the girl seemed to know exactly where it was, although that wasn't too farfetched, it after all had rested once in her stomach.
"Oh, I see," the girl said to the old baabaa. "So this ball, the shikon no tama, gives power to demons."
Inuyasha walked up behind her. "Yep, it's useless to humans."
The girl turned around to look at him. "So hand it over," Inuyasha continued. "Unless you want to become a victim of my claws."
The old woman spoke up again. "No, Kagome! You must not give it to him!" Inuyasha furrowed his brow. What was with this old lady anyhow? He looked at the girl. This was definitely starting to piss him off. Well, no more mercy, then.
"Do you think I'll go easy on you, girl?" Inuyasha asked, cracking his fingernails evilly. He sprung forward. "Not for some stinking wench, I won't!" Inuyasha purposely missed, only cleaving the air above the girl's head; he only wanted to put the fear of God in the girl. Or rather...the fear of Inuyasha, heh heh heh heh. He grinned menacingly as he lightly landed in a crouch.
"Next time, I'll cut you in half."
He watched as the girl stood up again, fire burning in her eyes. So she was going to be difficult.
"You seriously just tried to kill me just now!" She yelled.
It was obvious that she wasn't going to hand the shikon no tama over to him just like that, so Inuyasha decided he would just have to take it by force. Fine, he was all right with that. Once again Inuyasha sprung towards the girl.
"Prepare to die!" he yelled, swinging an arm at the girl, but cleaving through a nearby tree instead as the girl ducked behind it. Even so, the girl fell, dropping the shikon no tama. Inuyasha took this opportunity to attack the girl, she wasn't going to be going anywhere.
"Take this!"
Out of nowhere, something flew around his neck. It was a necklace of some sort. A rosary?!
"Kagome! Utter a subduing spell!" the old hag yelled. Oh, so she was interfering again, was she? Well, Inuyasha would take care of her next.
"A sub...what?!" The girl muttered in confusion.
"It doesn't matter what! Just say a word to subdue him!"
Okay, this was really, really starting to piss Inuyasha off.
"You, subdue me?!" he scoffed. "Don't make me laugh!" He continued his attack.
The girl looked around as if searching for a word. "Uh...um...SIT!!"
To his surprise, Inuyasha went splat, smack right on to his face.
"What the fuck!?" Inuyasha managed to exclaim . In vain he tried to pry the rosary off.
"It's useless Inuyasha. That rosary confines your power. It will never come off." The old witch again. What the hell did she have against him?! Inuyasha leapt again, this time at the old woman.
"Go stuff it, old crone!"
The old woman nonchalantly turned to the girl.
"Say your word."
The girl nodded. "Sit, boy!"
Oh, of all the humiliating things to happen to him, this had to be the worst one. He was being treated like a common house pet! Agggh! That girl, that bitch! He was going to get her. She was going to regret this!

Yes, I know, you probably all want to kill me. Don't worry; I'll get back to the real story soon, hopefully within the next couple of days or so.
