Chapter 2: The Battle of the Red Kimono
Inuyasha watched as a red and black streak pounded off into his forest.
~When Tao is like this, it is best to give her some breathing space.~
BAMM! A giant oak came crashing down somewhere in the forest.
~But then again, we are starting to run out of trees.~
Feeling the hairs on the back of his neck prickle, Inuyasha shot a glance over his shoulder. Surely enough, he met Kagome's hard blue eyes.
"Well?" she said anticipatingly
"Well what?"
"Go after her."
"Why should I? It's not my fault the girl was born without any sense."
Kagome inhaled sharply. Her cheeks turned bright red with fury. "Now!"
Inuyasha fell back in surprise. "I'm going. I'm going..." With a flash of silver and red, he started off. He grumbled as branches and leaves passed by in a blur.
~ Tao always gets angry like this, and I'm always the one who has to go and get her. It's not like it's my fault that she has family issues.~
Inuyasha's bones began to stiffen with pain. "Damn it"
~Naraku's poison. I haven't drunk the baka's potion yet.~
The dust stirred as his knees hit the dirt path. The surroundings blurred as consciousness slowly slipped through the grasp of his mind. His chest and head brushed the ground, creating a dust cloud.

A girl of thirteen trotted lightly through the brush of an unknown forest (to her). She wore a pink combat dress. It was short enough to maneuver in, but long enough to gain Miroku's disproval. Blue gloves and boots stuck fast to her delicate hands and feet. Her raven black hair was held back in a priestess-like fashion. It was streaked with the same colour as her crystal blue eyes.
If you were to see her, you would dismiss her as just another helpless bag (as in high class). For the most part she was a gentle, loving soul. Until, it came to fighting. Iron marked with ancient symbols edged of her gloves and boots. It protected her shoulders and created a collar around her neck. The whip she carried was that of the ancient people of the Chi. It could tame the most unruly demon. (A/N: The whip! The whip! And it's very important tip!)
As she surveyed her surroundings, she pondered on the well being of her family.
~Grand-pa was at death's bed when I had started on my journey. A month in, and I still haven't gotten all of the ingredients mother has requested. Yet, they are so vital. I already have the water from the Waters of Light, and wings from the shadow of a butterfly, but there are still so many ingredients. Damn that Naraku! Where did he get such a powerful poison? Poison, that even my mother, the chief healer, could not heal? Where am I supposed to get a tatter of fire rat fur?~
SMACK! The Chi-warrior tripped over a large lump in the idle of the path. "What the fu..." Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she spotted what she had tripped over. "OH! My god! A red fire rat kimono!" She carelessly stripped the (top part of the) kimono off the fallen hanyuo that was wearing it. Tears of joy came to her eyes. "I thought I would never find it."

Somewhere deep in the forest, Tao's nose twitched.
~Inuyasha's scent seems farther away then normal. Have I gotten faster? No. Inuyasha has too much pride to allow me to get this far ahead. Something's wrong!~
Tao swept herself around and ran back the way she had just come.
~Naraku's poison! I can't believe I forgot about the poison. I'm such a jerk, making Inuyasha run so far, so fast. I'm coming Inu.~
Tao stopped to catch her breath at a tree, when she spotted Inuyasha lieing half naked on the ground. Beside him sat a girl in pink, cuddling his red kimono.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Tao screeched. She leaped from the tree, coming to a halt in between the girl and the unconscious Inuyasha. "Why are you stroking Inuyasha's kimono" Anger raged in her eyes as she spoke.
Tao lunged forward at the mystery girl, aiming to grab the cloth. She closed in, feeling the wind rush behind her. Her claws gleamed as they fell towards the girl's neck.... Then hit the floor where once the girl had sat. "What?" Tao stood still for a few seconds, scratching her head, and pondering what had just occurred.
The girl giggled and lashed out her whip at Tao. "Do you have any idea who I am? The whip wrapped around Tao's arm, digging into her skin.
"I prefer to leave the killed nameless."
"A shame. I prefer my victims to know the name of their demise." She pulled her whip, dragging Tao in for the kill.
"Bitch"
"That's Miss Bitch to you."
Tao unfurled her wings and beat them violently. Sand and wind blinded the pink-clad girl, allowing Tao to break free of her hold. She unsheathed her knife and charged, full speed.
The girl teared and wiped the layer of dirt from her face. Seeing Tao's approach, she whipped the Chi-whip forward. Tao stepped back, narrowly missing the razor-blade of the whip's tip.
The two squared off. Both attacked and blocked in perfect unison. Tao slipped away from the whip as easily as the girl escaped her treacherous claws. When the girl managed to cut Tao, Tao would scratch the girl in return. Their strength was equally matched; meaning the first one to tire would die on the spot.
Fortunately for the Chi-warrior, Tao's past still haunt her. ~I will not kill again. I can't let the anger take control again. ~ So, Tao satisfied herself by digging her claws ruthlessly into the girl's side. Blood gushed from the wound like a fountain. Her knees hit the dust as weakness over came her.

Inuyasha had laid there for a few minutes after he gained consciousness. Try as he might, he could not make sense of the hazy battle going on around him. His ears, however, picked up every said word.
His eyes soon gained sight.
~ Tao? What's going on? Why are you fighting this girl? Why am I not wearing my kimono?!?~
He saw a girl in a pink dress crouched on the ground in pain. Then, he heard Tao's voice.
"I would kill you, but my hands have caused enough damage for today." ~Poor trees.~ "You may die here or go on living. That is your choice. But, ye be warned. If we ever meet again, you're life blood shall be mine."
The girl picked up her whip. "I am Rae-orri, warrior and future chief of the Chi people," she muttered. She lashed out her whip at Tao's back with rage.
"No!" Inuyasha screamed, grabbing the iron tip of the Chi-whip.
"Wha..?" Tao turned back around. "Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha yanked the whip out of Rae-orri's clutch. "Arrgh! It burns!" Heat swelled through out the whip. Inuyasha's hand began to turn red. With great pain he slammed the whip to the ground.
The tip cracked in two. Blinding lights sprung out in different directions. Blues, greens, reds, pinks, and many other colours lit the forest.
"Damn it, you stupid hanyou," Rae-orri whispered in dismay, "Do you have any idea what you've done?!?!"

A/N: I just found out one of the best people in the world is not going to go to the same high school as me! OH, Colie! What will we do without you? *cries violently* I can't go on! Oh well, this story isn't about me so I'll shut up now. Just to clarify things; yes, there are OCs. I should have said so before. But, in order for this story to work I needed to add Rae-orri. Tao is there because I've always wanted there to be a dragon demon in Inuyasha. There will be more OC because...... you'll see in the next chapter.
