The Legend

By: Kurama

            Disclaimer: do I even need to say it at this point… *gets glare from Kagome* all right, all right!!!  I

don't own Inu Yasha (darn it!) or anyone else from those characters.  Even though the story does not go along

with the main story these characters still belong to Takahashi-sensei.  *Turns to Kagome* there are you happy?

Kagome: very.    But I do get to say that other characters introduced in this story not from Inu Yasha belong to

me.

Ok, enough with that…on to the story!!

            Sorry for the long non-update, I made this chapter longer then normal because of that.

Chapter 3

From last chapter…

Out of the shadows came a figure who, just happened to be carrying poor, frightened Kagome over his

shoulder……

            Kagome had no idea what to do; she had only taken a step towards Sango and Miroku when she was

nabbed from behind.  Who ever it was covered her mouth with a clawed hand so that she would not scream,

but Kagome was to frightened to do so anyway. 

            When Sango and Miroku finally noticed that she was gone, he had moved out of the darkness of the

trees and made his presence known.

            Sango and Miroku Looked up at the figure and cried out at the same time "Kōga!!!!"  Kōga smirked,

"these humans think that they could catch me, but I showed them!  Now that I have this human here

 they'll have to cooperate."

            "Well…how much is this human worth to you?  I may let her go…if you allow my comrades free rain of

the village."  

            Sango gritted her teeth, she wanted nothing more then to kill this demon but that would risk the girl's life. 

She also could not agree to his request; the village would be destroyed if these demons had their way with it, not

to mention the villagers.  Sango looked to Miroku for his opinion on this and he looked just as unhappy about

this as she felt.  

            Kōga's smile widened at the indecision he could see on their faces and allow them time to think it over,

while the girl on his shoulder was beginning to squirm a little from being in an uncomfortable position for too long. 

            The squirming was beginning to annoy him so he yelled "Come on!!!  I don't have all night!"  At that

second he felt a presence behind him and turned around, but was too delayed on his actions as he felt beads go

around his neck. 

            In the forest somewhere, he heard a single word that was spoken as a command "DOWN!!" 

            He then felt an invisible force pull him down and hard, he landed face down in the dirt with Kagome who

landed on top of him just as surprised as he was, but not as injured. 

            Sango helped Kagome up, who was still startled, the both of them looked at Kōga who was sill lying on

the ground face down.  When he finally managed to get up, he was not a very happy wolf demon.  He looked

around for the person that had done that weird spell.  The person that he was searching for chose that time to

show them self. 

            Sango and Miroku's eyes widened as they saw who it was "Kaede-sama!!!"  

Kaede the Village Priestess walked into the clearing making Kōga growl  "So!  You're the one that gave me this

spell?!?" 

            Kaede simply nodded "I have been meaning to give it to you for some time now, ever since you started

creating havoc in my village.  Now you can not harm anyone or cause trouble there."  

            Kōga just growled and left saying something about revenge. 

Kaede turned to the three that were left "Now, who might this be?  I have not seen her around the woods nor

the village before." 

            Miroku bowed and replied "I found her here while looking for the wolf, it seems that she came from the

well.  Also by the looks of her 'Kimono' she seems to be from another time, if my guesses are correct." 

            As he was saying this he turned to Kagome to confirm this.  She nodded her head and turned to Kaede

and bowed "My name is Higurashi Kagome.  I am sorry for causing any trouble." 

            Kaede shook her head, "Nonsense child.  I'm just glad that you are still here in one piece.  Let us retire

to the village before we encounter any more demons" and with that they headed back to the village. 

            Once there, Kagome explained her story of how she got there.  The others were very curious of her

time, and Kagome was forced to describe some things that were extremely hard to explain to people who lived

500 years in the past. 

            It was getting early, Miroku and Sango left to their separate huts and Kaede prepared a meal for

Kagome and herself.   

            After a small meal Kaede turned to Kagome and said, "Until we find a way to help you home again you

may stay here with me.  It is very early child, and you should get some sleep."    Kagome thanked Kaede and

went into the spare room, and tried her best to sleep, this had been some day; falling down a well into the past,

finding out that there were in fact demons and being attacked by one. 

            Before she closed her eyes she wondered to herself 'What else can happen while I'm here and how

long will I be here?  Mom, Grandpa, and Souta must be worried about me big time, I hope I get to go

 home soon.' 

            Little did she know that there were many more surprises in store for her…
