I do not own Inuyasha.
There was a group of four, walking down the road heading toward a village, when all of a sudden, one of the members of the group stopped. He seemed to sniff the air for a while, then visibly grew tense.
" What's the matter Inuyasha?" asked Kagome.
" I smell blood, and it's coming from that village."
" Kagome, do you sense any jewel shards nearby?" asked a monk named Miroku.
" No, I don't sense anything at all."
" If that is so, then there is just something going on. We should continue." stated Inuyasha.
" No, if there is blood, that means somebody is hurt. We have to help, whether there is a jewel shard or not."
" I agree with Kagome, we have to at least see what is going on." said Sango.
The four started continuing to the village.
Kagome is a young girl from the future. She lives in a shrine with her mother, brother, and grandpa. One day, she was pulled through the well at their house, and she was injured. When she was injured, the Jewel of Four Souls came out. It was discovered that she was a reincarnation of the priestess Kikyo. When Kagome had gone back in time, she had released a spell on Inuyasha, and placed a beaded necklace around his neck, allowing her to subdue him by saying 'sit'. During a fight, Kagome shattered the Jewel, and is now searching with Inuyasha for the pieces to fit it back together.
Inuyasha is an hanyou out for vengeance. 500 years before Kagome had come, he had fell in love with Kikyo, and she returned the love. She was the original guardian of the Jewel of Four Souls, and they had planned to use it to turn Inuyasha to a full human. Before it could be accomplished, they were tricked by an evil foe named Naraku. He made them think they had betrayed each other. Kikyo pinned Inuyasha to a tree when he tried to take the Jewel, placing him into a deep sleep until Kagome woke him up. Kikyo was badly injured and died for Inuyasha, having the Jewel burned with her body.
Miroku is a monk who is also wishes to have revenge on Naraku. Naraku had placed a curse on Miroku's grandfather. It is a void in the hand, called the wind tunnel. It has eventually spread from the hand to engulf the person, and has been passed down from son to son. Miroku now is the only one left of his family, and wishes to defeat Naraku before the wind tunnel devours him also. He is a lecherous monk who wishes to have an heir before he dies, if Naraku is not defeated. He asks every woman if they will bear his child. He also has an annoying habit of groping the females.
Sango is a demon exterminator. Her village was killed by her younger brother Kohaku. But her brother was under the control of Naraku. Kohaku was killed, but Naraku used a Jewel Shard to bring him back to life. Sango wishes to have her brother back, and to kill Naraku for killing her family and village. She is the main woman who gets the attention from the monk, and a good friend of Kagome's.
This group of four all travel together to gather the jewel shards, and eventually be able to defeat Naraku.
When the group arrived at the village, they could hear cheers and shouting from the center of the village. They proceeded there, until they stopped, all of them unable to comprehend what it was that they were seeing. In the middle was a thick wooden pole, with a young female demon attached to it in chains. Her shirt had long ago been ripped off, and she was badly beaten. At the moment, she was being whipped. And yet, she made not a sound. It was easy to tell she was in pain. Inuyasha quickly jumped into the center, and stopped the whip from ascending for the last time.
" What the hell are you guys doing?"
" This half breed is being punished!"
' Half Breed? I didn't notice it before. I wonder what she did?' " What is she being punished for? Do you not think you have done enough?"
" We have hardly gotten started. She tried to kill the priestess. That sin deserves death."
' Is he talking about Kikyo? Did she try and kill Kikyo?'
" Inuyasha! I knew you would come. Your soft hearted companion would not allow someone to be hurt."
" Fuck, it was a trap. Kagome! Get back!"
All eyes turned toward the South end of the village, where one woman stood.
Well, who is this demon that is being beaten? Why is she trying to kill Kikyo? Was it Kikyo who laid the trap for them? Wait and find out on the next chapter.
