Chapter 2: A Meeting of fate.
The man walked to the door of the dojo. His face was solemn, with hidden emotion. His red-brown hair blew lightly along with his pinkish tunic. The cross scar on his cheek matched his hair in color. His reverse blade katana was in his belt of always, wiped clean of the blood that had recently occupied it. A dark haired girl ran up to him and grabbed the back of his kimono.
"Wait!"
He looked back at her.
"I'm sorry, but I must go. I have taken the life of another, that I have. I have once again become a battosai, once again a manslayer. I must go."
She pleaded with him.
"But its not your fault!"
He shook his head. "It does not matter. I must go, goodbye, Kaoru."
He walked out of the dojo. She watched him leave, eyes full of tears.
Six months later…
***
He growled at her. How many times did he half to tell her! She looked back at him. 'Pervert' she thought to herself. She wasn't going to let him up on this, just when she thought he was acting nicer too. Oh well, time for revenge anyway.
"Sit."
He fell out of the tree and hit the ground, eating dirt. 'Okay, that's enough' she thought to herself. 'For now' she added. She finished heating her water, and added it to a cup of Ramon she was going to eat. The smell made Inuyasha forget the "sit". He was instantly sitting beside her, with an expectant look on his face. She looked at him.
"Yes?"
He pointed to the ramen and said one word.
"RAMEN"
She dug a pack of ramen out of her bag.
"Here, make it yourself."
He stared at the ramen in his hand, then puffed out his chest. He could do this, he knew it! He'd show her!
***
Kagome laughed as Inuyasha burned his hand for the seventh time in five minutes. He dropped the pot back down on the rock by the fire, rubbing his hands. How did she do it?
She sighed. Might as well stop him before he gets angry and destroys my pot.
"Stop Inuyasha! I show you how!"
She showed him how to use a small metal bar to pick up the pot. She dumped water into his ramen cup. He grabbed it instantly and filled his mouth with ramen. He muttered a "thank you" through his full mouth. She put the water back on the fire.
"Shouldn't talk with your mouth full."
She giggled when he choked on the noodles when he tried to say "feh". She lay back against the ground. It was good to relax. It was something she had wanted for a week now, with Inuyasha waking her up early and hiking the whole day, with demons attacking them. To relax for a change, it was heaven. Relax, Relax, Re…what was that? She sat up quickly. There was a shikon shard near, and it was getting closer! Where was it? Inuyasha was so busy eating his ramen that he didn't notice anything. The feeling grew closer.
"Inuyasha?"
He didn't hear her. The feeling was strange. It felt human, but…it had a tinge of demon in it, like a soul plagued by inner demons. It was close, almost right beside her, but where?
"Its bad to leave a fire unattended, that it is."
There was someone beside her! The man was putting logs on the fire, calmly and casually. She could only see his side. He wore a red kimono with white leggings, and had a sword in his belt. His hair was reddish brown, and was as long as her hair. It was tied in a knot. He turned and looked at her. He had a cross shaped scar of his cheek. He smiled at her.
She finally found her voice.
"Who are you?"
He smiled at her.
"Yes, introductions would be in order. My name is Himura Kenshin, that I am."
Kenshin? The name sounded good for him. But why does he have a shikon shard?
"What are you doing here?"
He turned back to tend the fire.
"I was just passing when I noticed you, and I wondered who you were."
He seemed like a nice man. She smiled back at him.
Inuyasha took a big gulp and put the cut down. MAN, THAT WAS GOOD!
That's when he suddenly became aware of the man in their midst. He jumped forward and took a swing at him. The man's face never changed as he suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Inuyasha and thwacked him in the back with his sword. Inuyasha grunted and swung around. Kenshin was standing there, one hand on his sword. Kagome yelled "Sit, boy!" Inuyasha ate a mouthful of dirt.
***
Five minutes later a grumpy hanyou was sitting next to a cheerful miko by the fire. Kenshin sat across from them, tending the fire, a light smile on his face.
"So tell me, who the hell are you?" Inuyasha grumbled.
Kenshin looked up.
"I am a wanderer. I am trained in Hiten Misuragi, and I am a samurai."
"Whats with your sword? It had no edge."
Kenshin tossed him the sword and sheath.
"It is the only way of not killing using Hiten Misuragi."
Inuyasha snorted.
"Not killing! Is that what you stupid humans think?"
Kenshin smiled.
"Sadly no, most of us beleave in killing. But I don't. I made a promise to never kill again, that I did, and that's why I'm a wanderer."
Kagome took that time to speak up.
"But why do you have a shikon shard?"
Inuyasha looked like he was going to kill him to get the shard, but Kagome's glare made him back off.
"I need it to fix what I have killed. But I first must collect the shards, that I do."
But he said he made a pledge to never kill, Kagome thought. Oh, so he wants to use the jewel power to resurrect the person he killed. He is noble, maybe he could join us!
Inuyasha interrupted.
"But in order to do that, wouldn't you have to kill youkai?"
His eyes darkened.
"Those youkai have killed innocent people. There is no breaking of the promise in that."
He lightened up then.
"Ah, I must be going, that I do."
"Ah wait. Wouldn't it be faster if you would join us?"
"It might, we do have many shards if we combine them."
"You knew we have shards?"
"I sensed it in your aura."
Interesting fellow indeed. He's cute too!
"Oh! We havn't introduced ourselves yet! My name is Kagome and this is Inuyasha."
"Feh"
"Nice to meet you."
Kagome hugged him. His eyes turned to spirals.
"Oro…"
He had his confused face on. It was cute. Almost as cute as Inuyasha's sleeping face. Almost as cute as when Inuyasha blushes or smiles! Almost as cute as…WOOPS! Did I just think Inuyasha was cute? I guess he was…
"Here, Kagome sama, you may have my shikon shard."
She gasped, but recovered.
"Thanks, but just call me Kagome, no sama, okay?"
He nodded. She yawned. Inuyasha growled. Kagome noticed that it was slowly getting dark. She instantly felt tired.
"I'm going to bed! Don't wake me up, Inuyasha!"
A low "feh" could be heard. Kagome unwrapped her bag and climbed in. She grabbed a Hamtaro stuffed animal out of her bag and snuggled it, falling asleep.
It started to get late. Kenshin and Inuyasha sat across from each other. Inuyasha glanced at him.
"How did you learn of the shikon shards?" He asked.
Kenshin smiled. "It was really an accident. I met a man in a bar who told me of their power. A mysterious fellow really, all covered in a black cape, and I thought he was making it up. But I learned that the shards could do it when I learned of the incredible power they posess. And Inuyasha, why are you helping Kagome, you seem like one who doesn't accept help that easily."
Inuyasha snorted. "The only reason I travel with that wench is because she can see shikon shards. If it wasn't for that and this damn rosary I wouldn't be here." He pointed to the necklace of beads around his neck.
The smile never left his face.
"I think you have more feelings than that to be here. I think you like her, that you do."
Inuyasha hesitated for a sec, a light blush crossed his face.
"Keh, why would I like a wench like her?"
Kenshin just smiled.
"What's with you anyway? With your attitude, you could probably be happy with anyone without taking this journey."
Kenshins smile faded. His hair covered his eyes as he bent his head.
"I...broke a promise...to someone. I have to make it up..."
Inuyasha grunted. Whatever. Wasn't his business anyway. If Kagome was going to let him come, he might as well accept it. Besides, the man was strong, but his emotions showed of a dark past. Oh, well. He was a good ally, as long as nobody knew he thought that. He jumped up to a tree over Kagome's sleeping bag. Then he got a strong feeling and then jumped down, and looked at Kagome. She was shivering. The look on her face was more than cold, she was having a nightmare. He pulled the sleeping bag up to her head. To her right was a small stufed animal, like the ones he had seen in her room. He gently put it between her arms. She snugled it in her sleep. She stopped shivering. "Kagome..." He said quietly. Maybe he did like her after all... "Inu...yasha..." He was stunned to hear her dreaming about him! He quickly ignored it, lest his heart get the better of him, and jumped back to a tree. He stayed awake for a while, then falling asleep to a dream of Kagome calling his name.
Kenshin watched him. Two nice people, that they were. The hanyou didn't let it out how much he cared for her, but he woud keep Inuyasha's secret for him. He leaned back against a tree. He was happy to have traveling companions. It will be good to not be alone, anymore…
