Chapter 1: The Battle and a Mysterious Youkai
Inuyasha sat in a tree, thinking about the events that occurred earlier that morning.
~Flashback~
Kagome was heading toward the well. She had to take another one of those 'test' things. She left very early in the morning hoping that she could go by unnoticed. Inuyasha watched her walk by.
~ Keh! The wench thinks she can sneak by me! ~ Inuyasha followed her trek to the well, jumping from branch to branch in the trees' canopy. Kagome looked around, checking if the coast was clear. She set off again at a more brisk pace once she deemed it safe to go on. Inuyasha jumped out of the trees and landed in Kagome's path.
"Keh! Where do you think you're going, wench?"
-Argh, not again.every time too.why must you be like this Inuyasha? - "Come on Inuyasha, let me go. I have a test to take in the morning and I need to study."
"Why don't you just study here?"
Inuyasha just did not understand the importance of tests! "I can't study here when I'm constantly being attacked by demons left and right! It would be a lot safer for me to study at home, so just MOVE ASIDE!"
Inuyasha blinked, slightly surprised at her outburst command.
"Make me." He sneered. He mentally cringed. ~Oh kuso. Maybe I should not have said that.but there is no WAY I'm listening to her. ~ Knowing that the dreadful sit drew neigh, he prepared himself to jump. He saw her draw in her breath, getting ready to speak, so he launched himself above Kagome's head.
"SIT!"
His jump had been too quick for her to see, so by the time she had said the word, it was too late for her to react. She ended up being pinned down to the ground by the subduing spell and a smirking hanyou.
She mumbled curses that she probably learned from Inuyasha, and shoved him off her as soon as the spell wore off. She stomped over to the well, her aura cracking.
"Hey wait Kagome, I said you can't go." He said from his position on the ground. That was the last straw for Kagome.
"SITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSIIIIIIIT!!!!!!"
She left Inuyasha to mutter curses into his newly made crater and went back to her own time.
~End flashback~
Inuyasha sighed deeply and looked down at his crater. He cringed remembering how painful it had been. ~I hate it when she 'sits' me. I swear, that woman abuses what power she holds over me. ~
Inuyasha breathed deeply, taking in all the scents of the evening. The faint scent of a demon crossed paths with his nose. ~So, there's a demon nearby, maybe it has some jewel shards.~ He set off towards the demon's scent.
^_^ In Kagome's Time ^_^
Now that she was over her anger, Kagome felt guilty about the numerous sits she had given Inuyasha. She made a mental note to make it up to him later.
She glared down at her algebra homework. Sometimes she thought it was useless to learn such things. -I'd rather be in the feudal era with Inuyasha, but he can be so arrogant sometimes that it's not pleasing to be around him at all. - She slammed her algebra textbook shut.
"Argh. Math can be so infuriating! I'm hungry anyway, so I might as well go get a snack." (Good idea Kagome, I'll be back in a little.returns with about 50 snacks.::blinks:: OKAY! On with the fic!)
Kagome trudged downstairs, thinking about what she would like to eat. She decided that she would have some ramen. (Ramen's #1!).
"I swear, my stomach is beginning to think more like Inuyasha's everyday."
She made the ramen, ate it, and then went back to her room. She pulled out her history book this time, determined on getting as much study in as she could, now that her stomach was satisfied. After about an hour of study, she had fallen fast asleep on her open books.
Her mother looked into the room, smiling to herself, and pulled a blanket over her daughter so she wouldn't get cold.
"Good night, dear. Best of luck on tomorrow's test."
Kagome snuggled into the blanket, "mmm.Inuyasha." she said in her sleep. Her mother's smile grew bigger. She would tease her daughter about it later. She left Kagome to her dreams and shut the door behind her.
^_^ Back in the feudal era ^_^
Inuyasha came upon a grassy knoll. The demon he was sniffing out was on the other side. What he saw was a creature that appeared human, but from the smell of it, was a female fox demon.
Unknown to Inuyasha was that this particular fox demon happened to have immense spiritual and magical powers, including the usual fox magic. He advanced slowly and warily towards her. He felt his skin prick, but he paid no heed to it.
"How is it that you are unaffected by my spiritual wards?"
~So, that's what that sensation is.~ Inuyasha stopped walking, finally noticing the tingle on his skin.
"I am the great demon, Vixen. Who are you and why do you intrude in my territory?"
"Feh! I am Inuyasha. Your wards are very wimpy."
Vixen growled at Inuyasha's snide comment. "You will pay for your arrogance, Inuyasha," she said with anger tainting her sweet voice.
+He's a dog demon, so he should be easily taken care of.+ She formed a quick plan in her head. +Yes, that should do. That ought to teach that arrogant bastard not to mess with me!+
Inuyasha unsheathed the tetsusaiga. "Well, if that's the way you want it, then prepare to die!"
He lunged forward in an attack. +He's fast, but not fast enough.+ She easily dodged the attack and drew some powder out of her pouch.
Once Inuyasha drew near again, she threw the strong-smelling powder right at Inuyasha's nose. The pungent smell soon overtook him and he fell unconscious. (@_@ (Him)
Now that the mutt was temporarily put out of commission, she could inflict a bigger blow to his pride. She walked up to him and touched his rosary. She muttered an incantation and it glowed a deep crimson color.
She smirked, her spell would take effect in about an hour. She left the unconscious hanyou in the field, feeling that he got what he deserved.
^_^ In Kagome's Time ^_^
Kagome gasped and woke up with a start. She had gotten a strong feeling that something bad had happened to Inuyasha.
-Must be just a silly feeling, I'll check up on him after my test just in case.- Feeling satisfied that Inuyasha was fine, she returned to the ever blissful state of dreaming.
^_^ At Kaede's Hut ^_^
"Miroku, I'm worried. It's been quite some time since Inuyasha left."
"You need not worry Sango, ::pat, pat:: ::smack:: Inuyasha is probably just hunting down shards from every youkai that crosses paths with him."
"I suppose you're right, Houshi-sama."
Sango extinguished the fire that they had been using for light and drifted off into an uneasy sleep.

A/N: Yea! Chapter 1 complete! ::does little jig:: ::coughs:: okay now, that wasn't so bad now was it? I'll write the next chapter once I uninstall my writer's block and once I get a few reviews. I've gotta know if my fic is good enough to continue. The plot has yet to get better. I'll go work on Chapter 2 now. Ja ne!
