Chapter 2: Rescue

"Shit!!! Where did he go now??" A blond haired girl walked through the forest, knocking branches away from her as she trudged along. She wore clothes that looked more like an armor than anything else. Carapace spines covered her arms and legs, spikes sticking out where her hips, knees, elbows, and shoulders were. Even more of it was seen covering her privates down below as if it were a bathing suit for women, and even more was seen covering her back and chest. Her feet were similarly protected with more carapace shaped like a shoe. The earthly colored armor dully shone at the creases and points. Strapped to her side was a sword, pointed arcs formed on the flat sides of the hilt and formed a blade that would protect the owners hands in battle. She herself was already stained with some blood of last night's kill, but there were multiple demons in that fight and her friend was separated from her. "He better not have gotten himself killed," she thought to herself. Then she slapped her head, "Duh, if he was dead, I wouldn't be walking right now. I can't believe I forgot that."

She sensed something following her, something that she wasn't friends with. That was certain, she had left the only friends and family she had a long time ago. Not that it mattered, she had made one new friend while wandering around and never met anyone that was as kind. She stopped and looked around. She saw nothing, yet she knew it was there somewhere. "Dammit, where is that muther fucker," she thought. "I know he's here somewhere, but I can't see him. By time I do, I'll probably be dead anyway." She then saw movement to her side. "Definitely not Zirik, he wouldn't slink around like that near me. Must be something rather strong though. Why in all the fucking hells am I being stalked. And during my PERIOD, no less." She saw it move again, then it lounged at her.

Shippo was sitting in the basket on Kagome's bike licking a lollipop she had brought. She was riding her bike after Inu-Yasha, who was running in the same direction they had been going in for the past half a day. She wondered what Miroku and Sango were doing right now. Well, Sango anyway, they already knew that Miroku was trying to find her again. It actually was a long time, for her anyway, since the entire group was together. After Naraku's defeat, there just didn't seem to be anything left to keep the entire group together anymore, and things just weren't the same without them.

She suddenly felt something, something familiar. Something emanating a sort of energy. She looked to her left, knowing full well what it was. "Inu-Yasha!" she yelled. He turned around and went to her. He knew she wouldn't have called if there was no reason.

"What is it Kagome, you sense something?" He almost always wanted the facts immediately, especially if the Shikon No Tama was involved.

"You bet I do. Another Shikon shard. Somewhere that way." She pointed towards a forest just a little ways from the road they were traveling on. "And it appears to be coming this way."

The demon missed his mark, for the girl had dodged his attack and began to run towards any clearing that she could reach. He wouldn't be able to hide, and she could use her sword without getting it stuck in a tree if she could reach one. The demon found her again and struck, only to get his claws imbedded into a tree as she got out of the way. He growled in anger, his yellow eyes focused on the girl. His orange hair with black stripes covered his head and was spiked. He wore light clothing reinforced with armor and spikes in various places. Stripes were visible on his arms, legs, and face. "A tiger demon," she thought, "Must have been friends with that group yesterday."

The demon withdrew his claws from the tree and chased after her. "STAND STILL, YOU DEMON SLAYING BITCH!!!!" he yelled at her. "YOU ARE DEAD FOR THINKING YOU CAN MESS WITH MY PACK AND RUN. I'LL HAVE YOUR HEAD HANGING FROM MY CAVE ALONGSIDE YOUR FRIEND'S WHEN WE FIND HIM TOO." He slashed again, catching her cheek this time. She turned to face him, blood dripping from the slash she had received as it rolled down her chin and dripped onto her chest. She was very near a clearing, but had to get him off her back for one second to reach it. He smirked as he lounged again, "NOW YOU ARE DEAD!!!!!" She dodged out of the way at the last second, smirking as she saw him slam his head right through the tree she had stood in front of a minute ago.

"Watch out for that tree, George," she yelled as she ran for the clearing. She reached the tree line and saw the weirdest sight. A group of people were standing on the path nearby, looking in her direction. One of them was hanyou, she could see the silver hair and dog ears from there. She then noticed the girl. "What the hell, it couldn't be!" she thought. That girl definitely didn't belong in this time, she was sure of it. Bikes weren't invented yet, plus she was wearing a school uniform. "That uniform. That's from my real time. What's going.." She was interrupted as she felt her leg get sliced at the upper thigh, piercing the armor and cutting several deep cuts that almost touched her thigh bone. "Shit, you baka. You let that girl distract you from him," she yelled at herself in her thoughts. "But that demon is definitely faster than the regulars I fought. Where is that strength coming from?" She fell to her knee as he turned to attack again. She unsheathed her sword and sliced at him. He dodged and smashed her sword out of her hand, slicing the back of her hand in the process from the arched hilt. She realized there that she was going to die if she couldn't move away. With her leg hurting like a bitch, that meant his next attack would finish her.

Inu-Yasha saw the girl the same time she ran out of the forest. She smelled unusual, like she did and didn't belong here. Similar to Kagome's actually. "Kagome smells nicer though," he thought, then caught himself thinking that. Kagome had seen her as well, but the shard wasn't on the girl. It was on the demon that came out not too long after her. She saw as the girl had her thigh cut, followed by her sword being knocked away. "Inu-Yasha," Kagome yelled in his ear, "the Demon has the shard. Go get him!" She fired an arrow at the tiger demon, diverting its attention to her. He roared as he charged them, but Inu Yasha jumped in his face and struck his stomach with the Tetsusaiga. The demon growled as it sent a fist into Inu-Yasha's jaw, sending the hanyou flying backwards. Kagome fired another arrow at the demon, who caught it in his hand before the miko power within it exploded outward, taking its hand off. Blood spilled from the stump he had left, yet he didn't give up yet. He charged right at Kagome at a speed that made it impossible to get another arrow notched and ready. He cut the bow and Kagome's cheek with one slash of his claw before she could react, her blood seeping down her face. She screamed as he came close for the finishing blow, but he was screaming a second later as Shippo used his Fox Fire on his head. The orange and black hair was lit with the blue flame and he tried to extinguish it. "YOU LITTLE WEAKLINGS, YOU SHALL DIE FOR YOUR ARROGANCE." he yelled as he knocked Shippo down on top of Kagome. He extinguished his hair and was going to impail them with his one clawed hand when he was cut clean in half by the Tetsusaiga, his blood spilling all over Kagome and the shard falling at her legs.

Inu-Yasha swung his sword to remove the blood, which sprayed in an arch, then sheathed it. He pulled Kagome up, inspecting her for any serious injuries. "You alright Kagome?"

"Just got scratched, nothing serious." She tried to wipe the blood off of her, which was hard with a blood stained uniform. "Let's see if that girl is alright."

"What for, she's been trying to crawl over to her sword since the fight ended."

"Can't you be compassionate for a minute?!? We just saved her life, and it is a good idea to ensure she is alright."

"Waste of time if you ask me."

"SIT!" Kagome walked over to the girl while Inu Yasha had his normal foul mouthed chat with an old friend, blood soaked dirt. She picked up the sword and gave it to the girl. "Are you OK?"

She snatched her sword out of Kagome's hand, being careful not to cut herself while Kagome held it. "I'll be fine, thank you. Just don't touch my sword." She sheathed it and started to stand herself up, using Kagome as a post.

"Fine way to say thanks," Kagome said with a hint of annoyance. "She acts like Inu Yasha," she thought to herself. She then asked the girl, "Are you sure your fine? Looks like you have trouble trying to stand up."

"I said I'm fine." She started to stand, but then fell down as a sharp pain went through her right leg. Kagome helped her up and had the girl's right arm around her neck. "Guess my leg says otherwise." She sighed at that statement she made. "So, who do I owe the honor of saving my life to."

Kagome reached Inu-Yasha, who had freed himself from the ground, and Shippo when she spoke. "Guess you owe your life to Inu-Yasha, Shippo and myself." She pointed to the demons respectively as she said thier names."

"Nice to meetcha."

"Feh!"

"Thanks for the help, but what's your name? Your clothes don't seem to belong in this time."

"That would be because I don't belong in this time by birth. My name's Kagome."

The girl's blue eyes lit up upon hearing that name. "KAGOME!" She exclaimed. "Not Kagome Higurashi from Tokyo, Japan." Everyone's eyes widened with surprise at this statement. Not only did this girl know Kagome's last name, but where she lived as well? Tears were forming at the corner of her eyes.

"How did you know that. Tokyo doesn't exist in this time yet."

"Not until the late 1800's, I think. Provided I didn't forget what I learned in your school."

"My school???" Kagome stared at the girl in utter amazement and surprise, and noticed the girl's eyes. A pair of eyes she hadn't seen in four long years. "JENA????? IT CAN'T BE!!!!!!"

"You bet it is," she replied, her tears now trickling down her face as she embraced Kagome. "I thought I would never see you again!!!"

"Um," Inu Yasha interruppted, "are we missing something here." Shippo was just as confused.

Well, that's chapter two. I'll want some reviews soon, otherwise I may just stop writing or just run out of ideas once the main bit if info is added. But that won't be for a while, I hope.

Next chapter: Jena and Kagome catch up on lost time as two old members meet a warrior searching for someone.
