As Kagome came through the well, she regretted having homework. It would take hours to finish what she needed to get done. She climbed out of the well and sat by a tree. 'It will just my luck that Inuyasha will show up and distract me' she thought. Just as she got focused, Inuyasha popped in the tree above her. The hanyou looked quite unhappy.
"You spend too much on this," he grabbed her assignment, "what's so interesting?"
Looking annoyed, she yelled back "I have to do this, so just wait!" Kagome threw the book at a tree and sighed with frustration. 'I'm never going to pass this grade', she thought. Inuyasha had an idea and took Kagome to the nearest lake. The boy tried to push her in, but got throw in himself.
Pleased, Kagome peered at lake's surface to find Inu. Suddenly, Kagome found herself being pulled into the lake by her companion. She swam up for a breath and looked super irritated. The girl pushed him under to get her revenge. Kagome swam out, dried off, and looked to finish her homework. Just as she sat down again, Inu took the paper and threw it in the lake.
"What was that for? Now I have to start all over," she yelled as she placed her eyes on her soggy homework.
"No you don't," he commented, making Kagome angrier. Kagome had a rock and hit the back of Inuyasha's head. She saw him get real irritated and then he just lay on his back and closed his eyes. The girl went and sat next to him and smiled. His eyes fluttered open, which almost gave Kagome a heart attack. She backed up a couple of feet and watched him wake up.
"Huh? Wha..," he rubbed his head in confusion. Kagome decided she might want to run. As Kagome ran, Inu just watched her run while he sat there, completely baffled. Kagome turned around to see where Inuyasha was. 'Usually he would have caught up with me by now.' She stood there, waiting for him to come out of nowhere. After ten minutes, Kagome started walking back to where she had last seen Inuyasha. All of the sudden, there was a blood-curling scream.
Kagome ran in the direction it came only to find Inuyasha and another demon she couldn't identify. The other demon was laughing evilly as Inuyasha laid there on the ground wincing. She stayed behind the tree, watching as the other demon turned in her direction. This demon looked like a man, but had eyes and a face-build like Inuyasha's. His muscles were well-defined and his red/auburn hair flowed as he stepped towards her. His outfit was that of a lord, although it had been torn badly so it would fit.
The demon stopped 5 feet in front of the tree and stared at it, as though he could see through it. Kagome silently trembled as he took another step closer. He turned back Inuyasha, seeing him try to get up. As Inuyasha stumbled to get up the other demon strode over to him, as if he posed no threat. Inuyasha drew the tetsusaiga, trying not to show his pain. The other demon, Renotauo, stepped back. All of the sudden Renotauo ran towards Inuyasha pinning his neck to the tree with one hand. Inuyasha stared wide-eyed for a moment and then started to claw furiously to get free.
"Tell me where she is, you worthless half breed!" Renotauo yelled at Inuyasha. "Over.....my....dead....body...you....piece....of....shit....excuse...for... .a....demon," Inuyasha half whispered, wincing from the claws that Renotauo was digging into his neck. Kagome stood behind the tree, just wondering who the hell they were talking about. 'Could they be talking about me?' she wondered. Then she thought, 'but Inuyasha never talks like that about me...' With all this wondering, she hadn't realized what was going on in the fight.
Renotauo had thrown Inuyasha to the side and now he was approaching the tree where Kagome stood. Kagome came out her daze and saw him, standing, once again, two feet in front of the tree. Her heart started to beat faster and a bead of sweat rolled down the side of her face. Renotauo came closer until she could just barely hear him breathe. Kagome turned around for a moment and tried to run away, but Renotauo appeared right before her.
"So finally I get to meet the strange woman that follows Inuyasha the half breed," Renotauo commented while an evil smile slowly spread across his face. Kagome became extremely frightened and tried to back away. The demon grabbed her wrist and asked, "Now where might you be going?"
Suddenly, Kagome heard Inuyasha cry out, "Get your fucking hands off her you damn demon!" Her face lit up for brief moment until she saw Renotauo smirk. He held Kagome hostilely, with a dagger close to her throat. She gave Inuyasha a look brimming with despair while she struggled to get free. Inuyasha drew the tetsusaiga, waiting for just the right moment to strike the fool who had dared to mess with him. He wasn't able to strike Renotauo because he was using Kagome like a shield. Inu sheathed the tetsusaiga and gave a sigh of defeat.
Then, as if on cue, Kagome slipped out of his grip and let Inuyasha knock him out. Afterwards, she ran over to Inuyasha and stood behind him. Inuyasha and Kagome had started to walk away when they heard a slight cackle. It grew louder and louder until it echoed through the forest. Renotauo stood up, completely unharmed. Once more, Inuyasha unsheathed the tetsusaiga. Inuyasha then struck Renotauo with the wound of the wind and knocked him unconscious again. Slowly, the two decided to go back to Kaede's village to ask about Renotauo and why he wanted to see Kagome so badly.
