Chapter One: First Prophecy; The Slayer Arrives
Three Years Later, Location: The worlds most active Hellmouth in Hanover FL
The cold air burned the back of her throat, but her body pulsed with the heat of adrenaline. "Keep running, Keep running! Higher Ground, Higher Ground!!" she chanted to herself as she felt the eight vampires closing in on her.
As usual, this little slayer ran on instinct. That was how she survived one year and three months past the average two year mark. Already she was three months longer living than the longest surviving Slayer. She knew it was the instinct, but that that wasn't all there was to it. No... usually Slayers were pulled from their families at a young age, and grew up training with no friends. Not this Slayer! She was different. Sometimes, much to her watchers chagrin. But her friends and family kept her grounded, and gave her reason to keep fighting the good fight.
But right now she was in serious need of some back up. It was the usual night of patrolling, she THOUGHT. It started off like every other Friday night. Her friends calling her dorm room at the college to meet them at the local club, The Gold (AN: Yeah I know... this is very much like Buffy, but it's NOT. Just my inspiration!) after her patrol. Unfortunately as she had finished her last round through the seedy side of town she had a run in with a few chanting demons.
'No big' she thought as she had tossed a few smart ass jibes and proceeded to kill off the first two vampire lackeys that rushed her.
'Seems like the typical hellmouth badness.' she thought as she took out one of the fist chanting demons. But it was two late.
The circle that they were standing in, lit up like a protective barrier, making it impossible for her to fight them off. She grumbled and pouted saying "Aw... And I wanted to play!" but the rumble behind her grabbed her attention.
With wide eyes she turned around to see the dark night air literally open. She assumed it was some kind of portal. Slayer instinct kicked in and she lowered into her fighting stance, with her favorite weapon posed and ready.
Seconds later ten burly vampires stepped through the portal, followed by three demons, which the Slayer couldn't identify. She never was one big with learning their name and types. She just wanted to know how to kill 'em. She had dubbed them the "ugly slimy horn demons" for the time being, until her watcher; Merrick undoubtedly gave her a lengthy description and name account of the demon.
'Researchy goodness...' she thought as the scanned the ally for any particular symbols used in the spell all while keeping an eye on the new comers.
"Well looky here... the Slayer has come to great us boys." The largest of the vampires had said as he eyed her up and down, clearly unimpressed with her petite stature and thin frame.
The ugly Slimy Horn demons stepped forward and unsheathed what looked like long blades from their forearms. The Slayer scrunched her nose in disgust as they ooze slime onto the street with a resounding "splat."
"Ugh! Uber GROSS factors here! Why do I always get stuck with the slimy ones?" she had complained but the demons had had enough and swung at her. She easily dodged out of the way and spun.
The well executed maneuver confused her clearly stupid opponents and put her right by a large trash dumpster. The dumpster was made of heavy metal, and the Slayer couldn't see over the top, even if it wasn't for the abundance of garbage in it, but she was THE Slayer. Easily she slammed the dumpster into one of the demons who was split in half against the wall. The slayer didn't even flinch at the sound of his lower half hitting the ground, or the splatter of green blood that sprayed in her hair and down the side of her face.
She marched up to the dumpster as she clipped her favorite weapon, her cross bow to her side. From inside the dumpster she grabbed a long iron pole and turned, ready to fight the last two Ugly Slimy horn demons.
Behind her one vampire moved to help, but the Slayer had been in her job for a long time. Her senses were as in tune as any demons, and had easily picked up in the shift of the air, and the sound of his heavily clad boots hitting pavement. She reached behind her and under her brown and tan motorcycle jacket to pull a wooden stake from the waist of her leather pants. Without even looking behind her, she tossed the weapon hearing the slush sound of it piercing flesh, a grunt and then "woosh" as the vampire turned to dust and was carried away on the light breeze. Seconds later she gave a satisfied grin as the weapon clattered to the ground, still in one piece.
She saw out of the corner of her eye as two of the vampires made a run for it, not wanting to face the slayer one on one. She slowly smirked and turned to the two Slime demons in front of her. "Care to join your friends?" Their red eyes flashed with an un earthly light and they took a step forward as if in synchronize movements.
"Guess not." she mumbled and raised her chosen weapon. A demon lunged at her and once again she spun away, but this time they were prepared and the other slime demon lashed at her. The slayer arched her back away from them, but the slimy blade made contact with her shirt, making a clean slice over the chest.
A round of laughter from the other vampires was heard, but she ignored it. Instead she looked down at her shirt in awe. Her head snapped up and she glared daggers at the demons. "THAT is going to coast you $25.50! This is my favorite shirt!" she growled and lunged forward in a fury.
Her iron pole spun at break neck speed over her head as she twirled it to give it momentum. Then she twirled her own body and simultaneously brought down the pole. It easily knocked down one of the 8 foot tall demons, which she rushed and slammed one end of the pole into. The demon struggled for a moment before with a sickening gurgle died.
The Slayer used the pole, still embedded in the demon to kick the last Slime demon. She jumped up, holding on to the top half of the pole and swing her body around, sending a powerful kick into the demons head. The large demon stumbled back but righted itself quickly.
"Shoulda known a head shot woulda had no effect." she said with a glair, and charged. The Slayer fought in a fury of arms and legs. The vampires who were watching with increasing anxiety blanched (for a vampire) in awe as the Slayer ripped the head off the final H'orvek demon.
She then groaned in disgust and wiped her hands off on the side of a wall. She then glared as she made long strides towards them, gliding down to pick up her fallen stake, not once missing a step.
"Who's first?" she asked smoothly and she rolled her shoulders. Just then seven more vampires walked through the open portal and the Slayer paled. "Oh..." a nervous laugh. "I see you guys were throwing me a party..." she swallowed hard and blinked.
Five of the vampires moved in to attack, but the Slayer had handled them easily. The remaining ten decided that to defeat the slayer they would all have to go at her at the same time. They raced towards her but she took off.
The Slayer was a fast. She ran faster then the vampires, and easily jumped over the seven foot fence to the cities graveyard. She knew this territory, and seeing as how the vampires were out of town, she knew that here she would have the advantage. Unfortunately a fledgling took that time to pop out of his still freshly covered grave.
The slayer made quick work of the vampire, but it was still enough time for the vampires to catch up. The Slayer was able to take on two of the Vampires and make ash tray filler outta them, but once again took off.
And that's where she was now. Running through the hellmouths number one grave yard, with eight uber ugly vampires close on her tail. With some hope she saw a well just up ahead. Her little sister had hidden in there numerous times, while following her Slayer sister on patrol.
Granted she always came unwanted, because the Slayer knew the risks. But the well had proven the perfect spot. It sat atop a high hill, which got the first rays of morning light, which were only moments away. And the well was deep enough that all the vampire would be able to smell was the scent of dirt and morning.
The Slayer never hid.. But this was an exception. She didn't survive three years and three months as a Slayer because she was stupid. No... The Slayer had to know when RUNNING was her best option. And so she ran, oh BOY did she run!
With all the grace of a lioness the Slayer made a leap into the well before the vampires could see her departure.
The second the Slayer leapt into the well, she had expected to land on the dirty ground of the old Hanover Graveyard Well, but she never touched the ground. Her body was suspended in air as the walls around her turned white and glowed, then began rapidly changing colors. Suddenly it was as though she were moving through the walls, faster than the speed of sound, and demons of all types began reaching out and grabbing at her, only the demons moved at her speed and didn't leave. She tried to kick at them but without any leverage it did her no good.
Just as suddenly as it happened, the walls stopped glowing and she fell unceremoniously to the ground. The Slayer quickly leapt to her feet and turned around, eyes wide like a creature being hunter. She breathed heavily with exertion and adrenaline and then quickly leapt up and out of the well.
'I'll take my chances with the Vampires!' she thought.
Teaser: Next Time. The Slayer has made her way through the well. On the other side she meets Kagome, Inu Yasha, Kaede and the gang. Kagome has answers for a freaked out Slayer, but how will the Slayer react? How will the rest of the gang react to finding out just who their new visitor is, and just how powerful she is? And a little unexpected company arrives, forcing The Slayer and Kagome to prove just how powerful they both are. (We're talking some cute Kagome/Inu Yasha fluff coming up too, so don't miss out!)
Authors Notes: I know the Slayer seems very much like Buffy and so does her situation back home. She is very much like that, and in fact there will be some allusions to the show. I haven't decided yet, but I'm seriously thinking about having a little Buffy/InuYasha cross over, where The Slayer (who's name will be revealed next chapter) is the Slayer Called after Buffy's SECOND death... what do you guys think? Cross-over, or JUST Allusions? Read, Respond, and VOTE! I need help here people. *pouts* pretty please? *big puppy eyes*
