InuYasha Fan Fiction
Chapter 4: The First Day

Disclaimer: I don't own any part of InuYasha but the characters Hogosha and Shitashi are mine

Recap: Shitashi, still on the ground from when Hogosha pushed her, began to cry uncontrollably. Shippo rushed to the spot where the orb had struck the ground tears welling up in his eyes "Kagome come back, please come back" he said between sobs. Miroku and Sango stood remote just starring into nothing. InuYasha was standing completely still looking at the ground a single tear rolling down his face, he looked up "this is so stupid!" he yelled to no one in particular then he stalked off.

He opened his eyes and saw the bright blue sky. Am I dead? He thought to himself, sitting up gave him a headache but looking around he realized he was in a forest. Thinking back he remembered pushing Shitashi out of the way before that dark energy sphere hit him and that Kagome girl. Remembering the villager saying that the demon's attack would vaporize its opponents, "heh all it does is transport you away" he said to himself. Then it hit him, still sitting on the ground he shot up, she's unprotected! While this realization came to him his anger grew, clenching his fists he thought how could I have been so stupid! But what kind of idiot reflects an attack at his own team!

Just then he heard a rustle in the bushes, Hogosha tensed ready to kill whatever it was. But a human girl stumbled out of the bush it's that Kagome, she has no use to me and would only slow me down in my search for Shitashi. Hogosha started to walk away from her, "hey wait! Where are you going?" Kagome shouted after him. "I'm going to look for Shitashi" Hogosha replied as he grew his wings and prepared to take off. "Hold on a sec" Kagome said as she ran up to him. "What use could you be to me?" Hogosha asked coldly. "If InuYasha or any of the others ever found out I was alive they would come look for me and Shitashi is with them" said Kagome. "Is there a way for you to signify to your friends that you are alive? And if not then you would just slow my search" Hogosha said with the same coldness. "Well no......" said Kagome weakly, "hey! I might be just a human but I can keep up!" she said with strength. Then Hogosha noticed something with this girl, it was very faint but it did grab his attention. Maybe I should keep this girl around after all though Hogosha then he spoke "fine, get on" lowering himself so she could get on.

Once again Hogosha tensed his legs then jumped into the air and spread his wings wide. They shot out of the forest hovered there for a moment then sped forward. "Do you know where you're going?" Kagome yelled as the wind wiped by her. Hogosha stopped and hovered again, "Do you know where you are? I don't so any direction is a good one to me" Hogosha answered. After flying and walking for 5 hours night was approaching and they finally reached some kind of civilization, Hogosha landed just on the out skirts of the village so as not to alarm the people. "I know you could have gone on probably all night, so why are you not making some ego speech about how humans are weak?" said Kagome. "Because when you push humans to far they become more useless then they were before, so keeping you from resting would be counter productive" answered Hogosha. "Well with Miroku gone I don't know how we are going to get a place to stay" Kagome said as they were coming into the village. Hogosha didn't get the joke but chose not to say anything about it instead he said "I will just force one of these people to let us stay with them for the night." "What!? You can't just force yourself into someone's home" Kagome said in a scolding tone. "Warriors from this time period do it all the time" he said. Kagome was going to continue the argument but noticed that Hogosha had said "Warriors from this time period do it all the time" that meant one of two things: that he knew of other time periods or he isn't from this time period. Its probably the first one because he was with Shitashi so he does know of other periods but there could be other portals around the world, wait he is a demon he could only be from here, or could he? Kagome decided to put that thought to rest because she knew that Hogosha wouldn't say anything helpful if she asked him about it and there was no other way to find out. They entered the village "we should just ask one of these people if we can stay with them" said Kagome. When they reached a house Kagome knocked on the door it opened and an old man stepped out "What do you want?" he said. "Will you let me and my friend here" she said pointing to Hogosha, "could spend the night in your home?" The man smiled "Oh of course it would be nice to have some visitors" He motioned for them to come inside "come, come my home is your home" he said still smiling. "You just sit here and I will get us some dinner" said the man as he went into a store of food. "Here let me help" said Kagome as she went over with him. Where could she be? he pondered, she could be anywhere because I don't know where this place is. He sat there and brooded until the food was ready and he was snapped out of his thoughts by Kagome's voice. "Its ready come and eat some" she said with her usual joy. "Itadakimasu" she then said as they all began eating.
When they were done eating Kagome said "You know we don't even know your name yet." The man looked up "I'm Renjuku; I also don't know your names." "I'm Kagome and this is Hogosha" she said. "Nice to meet you Kagome and you too Hogosha" said Renjuku. "Nice to meet you too and thank you for letting us stay here" said Kagome. Hogosha looked up at the mention of his name but didn't say anything.
Renjuku looked out the window "Its getting pretty dark mind if we go to sleep?" "Not at all I think I'm getting pretty sleepy too" said Kagome yawning. Renjuku pulled out an extra cot for Kagome and was about to get one for Hogosha but he said "I don't need it, I'll just sleep like this" he was leaning against the wall. Just like InuYasha Kagome thought, always on guard.

I think I will do the story this way, do one day of Kagome and Hogosha then on the next chapter say what Shitashi and the rest of InuYasha's group were doing that day
