Okay, here it is, my first real excuse for an Inu Yasha fic.
Yay. R+R, an I apologize in advance for any continuity errors
i might make. Unfortunately, I live in America and have been
unable to see even half of the first season, but I have read
the manga!!! Whoosh!!! And, why yes Virginia, there is a
Santa---gack, wrong script!! Damn production elves.. This fic
IS rated R for an actual reason! Yay! And It's not my own
language either! *grins* (I.e., Cursing, blood, violence,
"self inflictment of pain" [a.k.a. cutting], but no lemon,
you hentais (you know who you are...)) Now, onward towards
the disclaimers and such!
(crowd boos)(a cow moos)(a vegetarian chews)(Yay! I lose!!)
Disclaimer: *bad grammar and run-ons ensue* I is poor. all I own is a computer and a cat. Her name is Fuzz butt. She bit my elbow. We live in a lil' shack. It smells like pork. The voices in my head keep me up at night. One of them throws crackers at me when I'm lazy and not working on this fic. Mmmmm...crackers...
The disclaimer applies to the rest of the fic, cuz I'M NOT WRITING IT AGAIN, DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!! Ooh!! The pills are kicking in!! Wheeeeeeeee........
Oh! And stuff that is italicised is the random thoughts of the characters that I have damned through WordPad!!
(Subliminal message: Please don't sue me. I DON'T OWN INU YASHA, DAMMIT!!!! FOOK JOO' CORPORATE AMERICA!!!! I'M NOT GONNA SAY THIS AGAIN!!!!) Erm...yeah....

-Chapter 1- Bullet the Blue Sky
Kagome leaned against the old God Tree. A breeze fluttered across the grasses, pulling loose strands of her hair with it. She let out a soft sigh, her head tilting back to gaze through the tree's branches, the green leaves weaving patterns of shadow across the ground as the early morning light passed by softly. Shippo's soft breathing drifted down from the higher branches. He had fallen asleep awhile back, cradled by the God Tree's sturdy branches. Kagome dozed in the midday lull, but her mind was focused on her problem. The problem. She had no idea what she should do, and no one here could decide for her, nor could the people in her world. No, my original world. At the thought of home, her chest grew tighter, threatening an oncoming sob. Evreything had been so easy before. Being here, seaching, running, laughing. even fighting with Inu Yasha. But now it seemed as if reality had caught up with her. Kagome swallowed back her tears and let her shoulders relax. She began humming to calm herself. It was a tune her father had sung to her when she was small----
Kagome shot forwards slightly as a voice sounded from behind her.
"Kagome."
"Inu Yasha!! Baka! Quit sneaking up on me all the time!! Do you want me to have a heart attack?!?" Kagome shouted halfheartedly, gazing over her shoulder at the half demon.
"Feh. If I wanted insults I could've just stayed at the village!"
Kagome sighed. 'Why can't he be straight forward for once and tell me what he really wants?'
Inu Yasha sat down next to her with a silent plop. The hanyou had heard her humming from half a mile away. Not to mention Shippo's soft snores.
"You're leaving." Inu Yasha's gruff words hung in the air, leaving a trail of sorrow in their wake.
Kagome's voice wavered, for this was what she had been dreading. "I'll have to. There are things I need to do, tests I need to take, stuff I have to explain." Her cheeks burned as she listened to her own inane words. "Grandpa's been so excited since I told him I have miko blood, I doubt he'll ever let me leave training once I graduate. I want to stay here though. I don't really know what to do. I might even found our shrine. Hell, I could be my own ancestor." Her small smile went unnoticed by Inu Yasha as an uneasy silence settled between them. Inu Yasha's eyes narrowed slightly as the wind picked up.
"You can't leave Shippo and the rest. They need you and ......" Inu Yasha trailed off, the rest of his sentence ringing through his head.
'...And so do I.'
Kagome sucked in her breath, his pause leaving her anxious. "What about you, Inu Yasha? Now that all the jewel shards are collected, do I still mean nothing to you?" The pitch of her voice rose and her eyes filled with water.
Inu Yasha released an exasperated sigh as his eyes flashed. "It's not like that okay?! And don't smack me this time either!" Kagome's throat closed up as her tears were about to spill over. She turned away from Inu Yasha so that he wouldn't see her crying. Not this time. 'I'm sick of him only seeing me as some weak girl he dragged from the bottom of a well.' Inu Yasha's hand caught hold of her sleeve, forcing her to turn around. Kagome blushed furiously, the tight ache in her chest returning.
Inu Yasha held her gaze, breathing softly, his face so close to hers. 'His eyes... I remember that look.. but this is different somehow...'
Inu Yasha swallowed his fear and forced his mouth open. He hated to let people know his weaknesses, but with Kagome it was different. It was even better somehow than when he was with Kikyo.
'My Kagome..'
When the words came, they were not what he had expected them to be. "Kagome.... I would give you anything and everything if you would stay here wi---"
A deafening roar crashed through he forest, ripping trees apart and up ending huge stones. Inu Yasha gripped his ears in pain, his body shielding Kagome from the aftershock of the sound wave. The ground seemed to tilt up around them and the only thing that kept them from flying off was the God Tree, its roots holding fast. Shippo was flung from his sleep, frantically shouting and grabbing at the air. His half asleep brain had barely registered the danger before he thought tentatively 'This is it,' but his fingers wrapped around a branch a mere moment later.
The torrent stopped as suddenly as it had started, airborne objects crashing back to earth along with Shippo. Inu Yasha staggered to his feet as his head snapped in the direction that the wave had come from. Kagome sat there in silence for a brief moment, her mind lost in what he had been saying and what had just destroyed the forest around her, when Shippo's incoherent yelling about the indignity of the way he had landed. Inu Yasha shook dirt and dust out of his hair, "hmpf" ing to himself and ignoring the branches that snapped into jagged pieces beneath his feet. Inu Yasha snorted, letting more dust and dirt fly, mica spiked an golden.
Inu Yasha glanced over at Kagome, and snorted, "Well, are we going to find whatever that was or not?!" At this, Kagome stood and replied, "Kami-sama!! You are such a jerk, you...you...Dog type person!!!" Kagome shouted, shaking her fists as she stood up. Inu Yasha muttered something like 'feh' and crouched down so that Kagome could hang onto his shoulders.

Miroku stood in the middle of the lethargic river, poised to strike the fish that was almost in the perfect spot. He shifted his grip on the sharpened pole and held his breath, careful not to cause a single ripple on the water. Without warning, he struck downwards and missed the fish completely. He cursed loudly and muttered words that would set a pox upon the poor little fish. Sango watched the ordeal from her perch on top of a rock that skirted the waters edge, calmly sharpening a dagger with piece of basalt. ((AN: I have no idea wot you might use to sharpen things....forgiveth meh...)) Sango lowered her arms in a smooth motion, the scraping blending in with the low roar of the river.
Miroku struck again, this time spearing the fish and embedding the pole in the river bottom.
"Hey!! The gods must have blessed this pole!!"
Sango barely took notice of his triumph to his distaste, hardly even nodding. 'Well, then she just doesn't get any lunch!! Not from this 'lecherous oaf!'' Miroku grumbled to himself as he distractedly tried to pull the pole free. But for some reason, it would not give way. That was when Miroku noticed the pulsing that seemed to come from the riverbed itself. The trobbing grew in its intensity and flooded the water and earth, until Sango could feel it in the air itself.
"Miroku, what hav--" Sango asked as the rivers current grew stronger with the pulsing and pulled at Miroku's clothes.
"Sango, run!!" Miroku had time to shout before the world opened up from beneath his feet and dark flame licked his legs and feet, beating the water back in a boiling torrent. Suddenly Miroku was thrown into the air, a thickness clinging to him, undetectable to his senses, yet it filled every neuron with terror. It had no phsyical power, but its spirt was so strong that Miroku could have sworn he was being held up by a monstrous hand.
