The Legend
By: Kurama
Hey everyone! It's been……checks fanfic info Holy crap! It's been almost 3 months since I've updated!!!
turns and looks nervously at readers ;;; eh heh heh…..sorry, I've been so busy I've had very little time
to work on this, but I haven't forgotten you guys!! [Tachi: Sure you have. ß(sarcasm)] -- oh, shut up. Just
because we're both Kitsune, doesn't make you more important then the others… [Tachi: of course it does,
I'm the antagonist.] I'm so glad you know your part. Now if you don't mind I have to answer some reviews,
so do me a favor and go impress your narcissism on someone else. [Tachi: hmp!]
Wow. Now it's been even longer…..senior year was so hectic….. My school didn't do any planning and had
our senior finals right after the junior M.E.A.P.s (Michigan Educational Assessment Program, if you didn't
know…) and so we had no time to prepare for it. I two major projects that I had to do, both were given on
that Monday, and due that Friday --; anyway, it was a week ago yesterday that I graduated . Two days
after was open house….and the list goes on… so sorry for the delay, I should be able to write more now that I
don't go to college till fall!!!! I still can't believe that graduated from high school…….anyway enough excuses
Phew! Now that he's gone we can continue.
Zonza- I'm happy you like.
Draconic Ban-sidhea- Yeah I know….except for this last chapter, I've been leaving cliff-hangers without
meaning to. Even I can't stand them, myself.
Phyre Spryte15- I wanted to change the whole "Inu Yasha Sit!" routine, so I decided to put them on Kouga
instead, though I haven't been using it as often as I should… [Kouga: Hey!]
falling star9- You're pretty close on your guess, but I won't tell!
Specter97- Thank you so much!!
Inukag-lemon-luvr- Thanks for the criticism; and when I say that, it's not necessarily a bad thing. I find that I
can take criticism very easily, besides I want people to be open with me about what they think of my story.
thanks!
Sunrider- he he he sorry, leaving cliff-hangers is a bad habit of mine…
Last time:
Inu Yasha sat on one of the high branches of a tree, caught between two emotions. Still sulking over
Kagome being gone, and the new problem they had to deal with. It was still a mystery why Tachi would
pick a fight with him now after such a long time of peace.
Suddenly His nose caught an all too familiar sent, he jumped down from the tree in shock.
"It's…."
Kagome managed to lift herself out of the well and onto solid ground.
'whew! We're going to have to make some kind of ladder for the well; it's too hard climbing
out of there…'
She looked around the forest. Something didn't feel right to her; the forest was just too quiet… She
was just about to start heading back to hut, thinking about how the others would react to seeing her again,
when she realized too late that there was someone right behind her. Before she could turn around or at least
put up her barrier, they sneaked their arms around her waist and throat.
Kagome didn't dare move because the arm around her throat held a small dagger against her
esophagus; a blunt warning not to scream. Wondering on how she was going to get herself out of this, she
failed to her a low growl coming from the forest. Her attacker, on the other hand, herd it quite well. He
smirked and looked in the direction of it.
"Stay where you are Inu Yasha or the girl dies. I don't know how you can associate yourself
with these weak humans, but I must admit you have good taste in women."
Tachi had been too busy talking to notice when seconds later he found himself flying into the nearest
tree courtesy of an enraged inu youkai = Inu Yasha
Inu Yasha looked extremely ticked off. Though he was calm enough to tell Kagome to go back to
Kaede's hut. Kagome ran off while Inu Yasha and Tachi prepared to fight (they basically did a staring match).
(side parody)
Tachi: blink
Inu Yasha: Ha! I win.
Tachi: -- did not
Inu Yasha: -- did too
Tachi: -- did not
Inu Yasha: -- did too…
Tachi: did….
Kurama: --# Alright children! How about we get back to the story…..
Meanwhile at Kaede's hut… (Honestly…those two are still at it…..)-
The occupants of the hut were all bored out of their minds. Kôga looked ready to destroy something,
when he jumped up and looked toward the door. This immediately alerted Miroku and Sango. Miroku
looked worried.
"what is it Kôga?"
Kôga looked extremely confused.
"It's Kagome. She's heading right this way…."
Miroku and Sango eyes widened. They all ran outside just in time, as Kagome came running up to
them. Sango was the first to get to her.
"Kagome-chan, what are you doing back here?"
Kagome, slightly out of breath, cried back,
"We don't have time for that! Some Kitsune youkai attacked me, and then was stopped by
Inu Yasha, now he's fighting with Inu Yasha! We have to help him!"
The other three shared knowing glances. Kôga answered Kagome's questioning look.
"A Kitsune has been causing trouble for Inu Yasha, his name's Tachi. He's probably the one
who attacked you."
The group headed off back to the forest. Kôga and Miroku ran while Kagome and Sango rode Kaji.
When they got near the well, they heard sounds of fighting or a beating more like it. Inu Yasha was not fairing
as well as he wanted. Tachi had an advantage over Inu Yasha: He was stronger and faster. The only
reason Inu Yasha got him last time was because of the element of surprise. Inu Yasha knew that Tachi was too
smart to fall for it again (Kurama: wow, a smart antagonist. You don't see many of those these days!
Tachi: evil glare watch it! ).
A second in which Inu Yasha used to catch his breath caused him to an innocent tree. The poor tree
broke under impact and fell off to the side, luckily missing Inu Yasha. Kagome ran over to Inu Yasha and
knelt down to make sure that he was alright. Inu Yasha looked at her in surprise.
"I told you to go back to Kaede's hut! What are you doing back here?!"
Kagome was more worried over his injuries, ignored him. But Miroku walked over and answered for
her.
"Kagome-sama was worried about you. She wanted to make sure that you had our help if you
had need of it. I must say, it seems she was right."
Inu Yasha really hated to admit it, but he did need their help; especially Kôga's. He would be an idiot
to say otherwise.
Kôga remarkably didn't comment on Inu Yasha's inability to defeat Tachi. He walked over next to
Inu Yasha facing Tachi with Miroku on Inu Yasha's other side. Tachi smirked,
"Allow as many people as you want to help you Inu Yasha, but the result will be the same. I'd
kill all of you to get what I want."
Inu Yasha growled, "Yeah? And what's that?"
"The Shikon no Tama will be mine!"
With that Tachi ran at them. Inu Yasha, Miroku, and Kôga all prepared themselves for a hard fight…
So, what'd you guys think! Sorry for not updating for so long, but like I said before; I should have more
time this summer!
