Chapter 2

To Kikyou...

Kikyou sat by a man that looked no older then nineteen, same as her. The man laid in a bed with badges around his for head, neck and both shoulders. All the badges where soaked in dark red blood. Kikyou dipped a piece of clothe into the bucket of water that sat near her and then dabbed it on the mans head. 'How strange.' she thought to herself. 'A man in his state, demon or human, should be sweating or showing some signs of pain. He had such deep gashes in his back and his shoulders. He had a slash across his neck and a bloody head... Hm, this man.' she stared at him for a moment then walked to the door.

Flash Back

Kikyou stared at the dark figure then began to walk towards it. 'It has a Shikon Jewel shard. I'm sure of it.' she thought to herself. As she took a few more steps her feet began to feel wet. She looked down at her feet to see that her socks where now soaking up blood. She took a few steps back words. 'How could there be so much blood?' she thought. She was a good four to five feet away from the dark figure that laid face down in the ground. 'It isn't good to have the Shikon jewel shard soak up so much blood. It will become tainted even more.' she thought then started to walk threw the blood. She ignored the squish squashing sound that came from her feet, as she walked threw the blood, and soon reached the body. She could tell that it was a man. This man, from what she could tell, had long raven black hair, as long as her own, that laid in a loss pony tail. He wear a Hakama Kimono. The top half was black and the under clothe was white and his pants were white as well. ((N.A. If you don't know what a Hakama is it's the type of Kimono that Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin wears)). After examining him and deciding he was no threat to her, she bent down and looked at the man. She soon found the Shikon Jewel shard, the man had it on a necklace around his neck. She reached for the Shikon Jewel shard but then the man moved his hands slightly. Kikyou forgot about the Shikon Jewel and focused on his hand for a moment. As soon as his hand moved again Kikyou rose up and walked away. Five minutes later she returned with a horse. She placed the injured man on the horse and waked beside it. Her Shinidamachuu flew beside her then quickly forward. 'So, they found a place.' she thought to herself. Soon enough, Kikyou and the strange man found an abandoned hut with a small stream near it.

End Flash Back

Kikyou reached her hand out to open the door. "Please! No sun light..." the man said turning his head to in the direction and opening his eyes to look at his savor. Kikyou turned around to see the man had finally awaken. Her attention was quickly drawn to his blood red eyes. After a moment in silence Kikyou finally spoke, "If you say so." she walked to the man and kneeled down beside him. "May I ask why?" she inquired with a gentle and tender voice. "I can't stand it." the man said closing his eyes again and turned his face to the ceiling. "You see..." before he was able to finish his sentence he had already fallen asleep again. "No sun light then." Kikyou said it to herself, for the most part.

Inuyasha and the gang...

Kagome just stared at the man. He had blood red hair in a pony tail, the same length and style as Miroku's. He had beautiful teal colored eyes, yet they were piercing threw her with his cold glare. He wore a Hakama Kimono, the top half was navy and the under clothe was black along with the pants. On his back laid two large spears in a X figure. Each had four feet of black wood and foot of metal. The metal was curved slightly with sharp, jagged edges. Kagome kept still stared at the man, she seemed to be in a bewildered state. She quickly snapped out of it when she saw a Shikon Jewel shard on a necklace around the mans neck. She fixed her attention to the jewel shard for a moment. As she did the man looked down at his jewel shard and back up at the woman and then continued to walk towards her, with his eyes closed. Kagome took a few steps backwards then came to her senses. "Inu-" before she was able to finish...

"Who are you!" Inuyasha shouted as he jumped down from the tree and landed between Kagome and the strange man. He placed his hand on his tetseiga. The man did not answer and continued to walk forward. By now Sango and Miroku were awake and both had their weapons at hand. Miroku was reading to use the Wind Tunnel and Sango was reading to use Hirakikotsu. "I said! Who are you!" Inuyasha shouted at the man one more time before drawing his sword. "I heard you." the man said as he passed Inuyasha by. He walked threw their little camp site with out another word. "Well... That was strange." Miroku said letting his guard down and then sat back down. Sango also sat back down and sighed. "That was also pointless," she declared and began to pet Kirara on the head. Inuyasha put his sword away and as was about to return to his place on the tree when, "Inuyasha." Kagome said as she grabbed onto his shirt fabric. "What?" he asked irritated that he was awaken for nothing. "That man had a Shikon Jewel shard." she answered. "What!" Inuyasha shouted as he turned to face Kagome. "Uh? Well, like I said, he had a Shikon Jewel shard." she restated. "Why the hell didn't you say that sooner!" he shouted and ran after the man. "Let's go." Sango stood up and stretched her arms. Kirara quickly transformed into her larger form and everyone gathered on her and flew off.

Inuyasha jumped in front of the strange man, in order to stop him from walking any further. The man didn't even open his eyes and just stopped. "You have a Shikon Jewel shard." Inuyasha stated. The man opened his teal colored eyes and he stared at Inuyasha with annoyance "Look, just hand over the Shikon Jewel and no one has to get hurt." he said and extended his hand towards the man. "Inuyasha!" Kagome hollered as Kirara landed next to him. "What?" Inuyasha asked. The man turned around and began to walk away. "Hey!" Inuyasha shouted. The man stopped and turned to give Inuyasha an extremely cold glare "Leave me..." The man spoke but then laid eyes on Sango and his cold expiration disappeared. 'That girl..' he thought to himself. "Wench." he said and pointed at Sango. "Pardon?" Sango asked with irritation. "Where do you come from?" he asked. "Why does that matter?" she asked. " Do you come from the Demon Exterminator's Village?" he asks. Everyone was silent for a moment. "And what if I am!" Sango asked. "Keh, I haven't time for this idiocy." the man said and walked off. Inuyasha drew his tetseiga before the man was out of sight. "Wind Scar!" he shouted as he used the Wind Scar. The man turned in time to see the yellow colored energy swirling at him.


Author's note: It's been a little under two years since the last time I wrote a Fan Fic for Inuyasha and it's my first one with Kikyou as a leading charcter. sigh not much happens in this one as well. I'll try to do better in the next chapter. Please keep reading and Review.

Thank you
