The Stranger
Chapter 1: The Girl From the Future.
It had been a while since Kagome had gone home and she was more than ready to take a break from the Feudal era. "Oh, do you have to go home Kagome?" said a very disappointed Shippo. "I already told you Shippo, I can't spend all my time in the past, I have to go home, go to school, and not to mention get some rest." Kagome said in a moderate tone, trying not to sound crude. "Oh, alright" Shippo replied with a note of dejection. "I don't see what the big deal is. She'll be back by tomorrow." InuYasha remarked in his usual semi-barbaric manner. "It's not a big deal to you because you're a jerk." Shippo shouted. "You better take that back or I'll-"InuYasha yelled back but was cut of by Kagome, "Or you'll what?".
"Nothing!" InuYasha remarked in his defense, for fear of 100 SITs. Kagome finally got all of her things packed when Miroku walked in holding his hand which appeared to be crushed by an elephant; it was obvious that this was a result of him trying to grope Sango for like the millionth time. Shortly after his arrival Sango walked in. She must have noticed Kagome was getting ready to leave because she immediately said, "You're going already!"
"Yes I'm going. Don't worry I'll be back shortly, and if anything happens InuYasha can get me." Kagome stated trying to comfort Sango. "If you're finished blabbing, can we go now?" InuYasha remarked impatiently and rather annoyed. "Yes we can go now." Kagome sighed.
On their way to the well InuYasha stopped dead in his tracks, sniffed the air, and growled. "What's the matter?" Kagome quickly stated noting the awkwardness in her friend's behavior. "Nothing!" InuYasha replied in a way that didn't even convince himself. As they approached the well Kagome said her good-byes. "Bye Shippo." She said while hugging the small Kitsune. "Bye Sango, um bye Miroku. I'd give you a hug but I'm kinda afraid of being groped." Then she slowly turned to InuYasha and said, "Bye InuYasha." The only response to this was "Feh."
After all of this was over Kagome began to slowly climb into the well and wave good-bye. Then out of nowhere Kagome screamed, "AAAAHHHHHHHH!" to everyone's surprise she wasn't in danger, just shock. Standing right in front of her was a strange girl that looked about her age. "Would you please stop screaming? You're gonna make my ears bleed." The stranger demanded and Kagome obeyed without hesitation. Of course InuYasha ran to Kagome's aid, but was just as shocked as she was.
InuYasha began to help Kagome out of the well, but still in shock he nearly dropped her. When he had finished helping Kagome out of the well he turned to help the stranger out, but to his surprise the stranger gave one leap out of the well and nimbly landed outside of the well. Everyone quickly turned to examine and identify the stranger.
She looked to be about a head taller than Kagome, she was thin and well-formed. Her clothing consisted of a mid-thigh length skirt that was a bright crimson red. She wore a plain white tank top that went slightly past her waist, with a red trim around the top and a slightly open jacket that matched her skirt, with quarter sleeves and reached the middle of her ribcage. They appeared to be made of a similar fabric to InuYasha's.
Her hair was a bit muddled, and indolently lay upon her head. It was fixed in a high ponytail and was as dark as night except for a peculiar section of hair that went straight downs the center of her head. This section of hair was perched in between two dog-like ears quite similar to InuYasha's and, strange as it sounds; the lock of hair was the exact silver as InuYasha's. The thing that really shocked everyone was the eerie resemblance the stranger bore with Kagome. Her face was almost an exact replica of Kagome's, if it had not been for her fang-like teeth and golden eyes you could say her face was an exact copy of Kagome's. she was also equipped with claws which were similar to InuYasha's, only her nails were clean and well kept, not dirty and cracked like InuYasha's. The stranger also carried a small black backpack.
After the long and awkward silence the stranger spoke again. "What are you all staring at?"
"Forgive us; we were all shocked by your arrival. Fair maiden, will you bear my child." Miroku replied only to be pinched by a green-eyed Sango and blankly stared upon by the stranger.
"Who are you, and why have you come here." Kagome said still in shock of the stranger's arrival. "My name is Koinu Ashura Hi-" she seemed to hold back before she revealed too much, " Koinu Ashura, but you can call me Koinu, and I did not wish to come here. I was forced by my mother; she believes that I have to go on a journey to find someone. She didn't even tell me who I was suppose be looking for," the stranger answered. "What time are you from?" Kagome added knowing that there was no way on earth that the stranger was from the feudal era. "The year two-thousand sixteen," the stranger, or shall we call her by her name, Koinu answered.
"Really, who exactly is your mother?" Kagome asked yet another question that seemed to annoy Koinu even more than the last and it was made obvious when she replied by saying, "None of your damn business. Would you please stop asking questions you stupid girl?" Kagome's response to this was not what anyone expected. Instead of being offended or appalled she began to laugh hysterically.
This only seemed to annoy Koinu even more because she furiously yelled, "What the fuck is so damn funny?" Kagome, who was just getting control of herself, spoke "You snicker sounded giggle so much like InuYasha." With that she continued to laugh even louder and point at InuYasha, who seemed just as annoyed by this remark as Koinu. "Don't take it the wrong way, it's just the tone and the use of words was so similar to something InuYasha would say." Kagome said finally stopping. Koinu looked at Miroku, Sango, and Shippo who were all nodding in agreement.
"You honestly believe that I would have anything in common with that untutored hanyou." Koinu said in a manner that seemed to make the blood in InuYasha's veins boil. "How dare you call me... whatever you just called me. Your gonna regret that you ever said that."
"SIT" BAM, InuYasha was now head first in a crater on the ground beneath them. "Servers you right. You should never threaten a defenseless girl." Kagome yelled. "Defenseless. I hate being called defenseless." Koinu seemed to have more rage in her eyes than ever before, but was holding it back.
"Calm down. I was just trying to stop InuYasha from hurting you." Kagome stated in her own defense.
"TETSUSAIGA!!!! WHAT THE FUCK, WHY WON'T THIS PIECE OF SHIT TRANSFORM?" InuYasha was obviously trying to attack Koinu but the Tetsusaiga wouldn't transform against Koinu. "Your shitty sword won't work on me. It's purpose is to protect not take out your anger on someone." Koinu said as she all too gently pushed the Tetsusaiga away with the back of her hand.
"How did you know that? And how did you know that InuYasha was a hanyou?" Kagome said with a puzzled look on her face. "The sword. You called it Tetsusaiga; my father told me a story about a hanyou named InuYasha who wielded a magic sword with the power to kill one hundred Youkai with one strike. He also told me that in it's untransformed state it couldn't hurt a flea. Now would you please stop asking questions?" Koinu said. Obviously counting on their shock to cover up the fact that she knew InuYasha was a hanyou before he ever used the Tetsusaiga
"Let me ask you just one more question." Kagome said.
"Fine."
"You say that you have nothing in common with InuYasha, but you bare just as many hanyou qualities as him." This question seemed to make Koinu very uneasy. "My father is an inu hanyou." Koinu said. "Oh, so you're a quarter Youkai." Kagome was finally beginning to understand.
"Where are you going?" Kagome was confused because Koinu beginning to walk away. "I'm going to start searching for the person who is responsible for my being here." Koinu responded while sniffing the air.
"I have an idea. Why don't you come with us? We meet lots of people every day, maybe we might find who you're looking for." Kagome said. "Alright, but only if I don't have to carry anyone." Koinu said. "Why would you have to carry anyone?" Kagome asked. "To tell you the truth you all look like you wouldn't last one battle with a powerful Youkai." Koinu said. This offended everyone. "Oh, well don't worry about that, we can handle ourselves perfectly in battle." Kagome said while trying to hold back a very annoyed and offended Sango.
