If Destiny Will Allow
Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha.
Note- I hope you like this one. I am going to attempt it, but I do not know how it will work.
Summary- Kagome is a cat demon. Inuyasha is a dog demon. After Inuyasha rescues Kagome from a demon one day, they always seem to run into one another. Pretty soon their mutual friendship fires into something more. So, if they love each other, why don't they be together? Their clans will simply not allow it. Includes Sango (A fox demon) and Miroku (A fox demon) and Naraku (His normal self) and Kikyo (Inuyasha's old girlfriend) and the shikon Jewel. Sesshomaru as well. (His normal self)
Enjoy! Please review when you are finished. Much Gratitude -Natalie.
1 -- Rescuer
"Bye, mom!" Kagome, a very frisky feline shouted to her mother, who was talking with her younger brother.
Kagome's mother turned her head toward her daughter and said, a little distractedly, "Okay, dear. But don't be out too long! And be careful!" Her mother always said those things when Kagome said she was going to scamper off to explore -- something she did daily.
"I will, mom!" The young cat cried back, her black tail swaying back and fourth like a snake. "Don't worry about me!" With those words, the neko hanyou turned and left her clan's village. She could smell the smoke growing farther and farther away as she raced deeper and deeper into the forest.
She paused here and there just to look around and make sure that she knew where she was headed and she would put her hand on a tree and scratch it with her razor sharp claws -- which were sharpened every single day -- to leave a trail that she could reference by. She continued to go down the usual path that was headed for a tree that she usually climbed up in order to see out across the land. But she became thirty all of a sudden and noticed a stream off to her left.
It was off the trail, but it would not matter. The path was easy to find and she would only take a minute to drink.
She headed for the babbling brook; it's water shining in the sunlight, very cautiously. She had never been over to that creek, so she was not sure if anything lived near it. But, after a minute of creeping toward it like a scared cat, she decided that it was safe. She fell to her knees and cupped her hands and dipped them into the cool, refreshing water and began to drink.
She gulped it hungrily, greedily, and needingly. She was even thirstier than what she had thought she had been. Nonetheless, she continually drank. Until she heard a twig snap. It caused her black cat ear -- which was atop her head -- to twitch in order to pick up any other sound. She stood, paralyzed, unmoving, like a statue. Her heart had stopped, practically, and she feared to move. But she so desperately wanted to move so she would not have a confrontation with anything or anyone. After not hearing anything for a long period of time -- she wasn't sure if it was five minutes or ten -- she turned back to the water to drink. But something dug its razor sharp talons into her back.
She doubled forward from the pain and looked into the water. Her reflection started back at her from bloody water, its eyes full of fear. She coughed and blood dribbled from the corners of her mouth. She glanced behind her in the water and saw the demon -- it was a tall bear demon. She had, obviously, trespassed on its land. Why else would it attack her like that?
The bear swiped another huge paw at her, but she ducked. Ignoring all the pain and dizziness, she stood up and hissed like a cat on Halloween would do. Her black cat ears were pinned back against her head and her claws were already protracted. Since she was a feline, she had retractable claws.
The bear growled as if threatening her. He then roared boomingly. He sounded almost acrimonious. Which he probably was and Kagome did not blame him for being pissed off. She was, after all, quite possibly, trespassing on his land that he had claimed as his. But hey, it was an honest mistake. Why couldn't they just talk it out?
Maybe because this bear looked toward the violent side to end arguments.
The bear swung at her again, but she leapt out of the way just in time. But instead of landing on her feet gracefully like the cat she was, she collapsed to her weak feet and rolled, leaving a blood trail behind her and no doubt getting lots of dirt inside of her wound.
She squeezed her eyes tight from the searing pain and waited for the bear to reach down and end her life with one, swift stroke. But it never happened. In fact, nothing happened to her. She opened her eyes in confusement and curiosity to investigate and find out why she had not been struck.
When she opened them and saw everything with perfect clarity, she witnessed something strange and actually quite rare; a dog demon with long silvery hair and a red kimono had knocked the bear down and was waiting for the huge creature to stand back up.
Kagome tried to get up, but her chocolate colored eyes were glued to the scene precede of her. The dog demon -- she could tell by his scent -- had leapt onto the bear's throat and began to slice it open after the large demon he stood back up.
Kagome continued to watch in absorption. She was so engrossed in the dog demon's strength that she had not felt the blood that was running down her chin and neck. It was spewing from her mouth and she had forgotten all about it. She coughed again and slumped her head forward and let it all spill out. She wanted to sit up, but could not due to how weak she was from the loss of blood.
The dog demon had finished killing the bear and was currently wiping the blood on his kimono, which actually blended in due to his outfit being red. Kagome coughed even more which attracted the dog's attention. He hurried over to Kagome and rolled her over completely onto her back and looked her over.
"T-Thank you…" She managed to sputter.
He looked her in the eyes and said, "Shut up, don't talk."
Well, it was nice of him to help me out, Kagome thought, but does he have to be so rude?
He suddenly ripped off the sleeve of his kimono and ran over to the stream and dipped it into the cold water and then raced back over to the injured feline. "Sit up."
Kagome glared at him. The glare demanded, 'does it look like I am able to sit up?'
"Oh, right." He said, sort of irritably. But he assisted her in sitting up, nonetheless. He then lifted up her torn shirt, which caused her to jump from the pain and from her not having any privacy. She turned to glower at him.
He shrugged, "Hey, you could just bleed to death if you want."
Kagome rolled her eyes and managed to choke out, "Go ahead. But p-please don't look." She coughed again and more blood dripped from her lips.
"I told you not to talk," He reminded her, "Okay, here we go. It might sting a little." He pressed the cold, ripped sleeve against her torn flesh and waited until she stopped tensing from pain before wiping some of the blood and dirt away slowly and gently.
After that task was complete, the dog demon tossed the mangled sleeve away and lacerated the other one. This time, however, he did not dip it in water. He said, "I have to wrap this around your chest and back tightly. I won't look, I promise."
Kagome let out a hiss and pinned her ears back. "No way…" She managed to utter.
"Well, you can put it on in the front, then. How's that?" the dog suggested. He watched, as the cat demon in front of him seemed to go with that idea for she did not hiss that time. He handed her a piece of the clothing and let her put it on in front and hand the ends to him in the back. He wrapped them around her sides and she put them in front of her before returning the ends to him once again. They repeated this process until there was no more clothing left and he had to tie the ends together, which hurt the cat, but she soon got over it.
"Thank you." She said after she drank some water and cleaned her throat and mouth out. Blood did not taste pleasant.
"No problem." Was all the strange dog said.
"What's your name? And why did you save me?" The cat asked.
"Inuyasha. And I saved you because I hate to see girls in trouble. What's your name?" Came his reply.
"Kagome." Was her answer.
"You're a little far from home, Kagome," Inuyasha said as he sat up in an oak tree. "Your clan is three miles north."
"I know that," Kagome said from where she sat, in another tree next to his. That was another thing she loved to do; climb trees. "I do this everyday, Inuyasha."
"Really?" He asked. "Then why don't I smell you? I come out here, too."
"I do not usually come this far. I used to, but decided to stay closer to my village." Kagome explained.
"Oh." Inuyasha replied shortly.
After a few moments, Kagome leapt down from the tree and headed toward the path, "I have to get home now. Bye, Inuyasha."
"See you later." Inuyasha called back. Kagome hid behind a tree and watched as the dog demon turned and headed back toward his clan. She sighed and mentally thanks him once more for saving her life and nursing her wounds. She then turned and went back home to her village.
