Chapter 3
''Finally, Civilization!'' Ayame exclaimed as they entered the city of Tokyo. Kagome looked around at the hustling and bustling of the streets and watched as everyone was shopping for bargains. Suddenly a rock zoomed past her face. She looked in the direction of a fruit vender throwing rocks at a young girl. The girl looked to be about eight or ten years old, she had Wedgwood blue hair, dark skin, and beautiful violet eyes. One of the rocks was about to hit her when an arrow appeared and knocked it away.
''Who did that!'' The vender yelled.
''I did.'' Kagome said as she walked in front of the child with her arms crossed. ''How dare you throw rocks at an innocent child? You should be ashamed of yourself!'' Kagome screamed.
''Innocent? You call her innocent. She tried to steal an apple from my stand, she's a thief and should not be allowed to go unpunished.'' Kagome sauntered over to him and slammed some coins onto the table.
''That should be enough.'' As the vender stood there dumbstruck Kagome grabbed an apple and went over to the little girl. She handed the apple to her and said… ''Here you go.'' The girl starred at Kagome for a few seconds. Then she timidly grabbed the apple from her hand.
''Thank you.'' She whispered. Then she vanished into the crowd.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inu Yasha observed Kagome as she was yelling at the fruit vender, while her three companions were just watching her with disbelief. He had to admit that the four women were very pretty. But he quickly shook the idea out of his mind and examined the girls' faces and outfits so he could remember them for future reference.
The first girl, (Kagome) had raven black hair that glittered in the sun and warm brown eyes. She wore a green blouse with a white tie, a forest green sailor skirt that was a few inches above her knees and she wore brown high heeled shoes. She also had a bow in one hand and a quiver full of arrows on her back. The second one, (Kikyo) who seemed to be the oldest had black hair too but it was tied in a ponytail and two hoops of hair were hanging down beside each ear. Her eyes reminded Inu Yasha of Sesshomaru. She was wearing a sequined blue tank top, a navy blue armored skirt, pale blue wristbands, and boots that shimmered like the ocean's surface. She also seemed to have two katana's that were still in their sheaths. The third women, (Sango) as well had black hair tied in a ponytail. She was wearing a pearly white tube top, grayish white flared track pants, and black sneakers. She had a gigantic boomerang that was slung across her back also. And the fourth girl, (Ayame) had fiery red hair and emerald green eyes. She wore a flaming reddish orange dress that had very long sleeves, (kind of like what Melin wears in Cardcaptors) she had ruby red sandals and a belt pouch around her waist that held feathered darts. After taking one last look at them, Inu Yasha turned towards Kouga.
''It's time that we start the test.'' He said. Kouga nodded, than they both snapped their fingers and about a dozen wolves and mean looking dogs came out of the shadows.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Screams of terror could be heard throughout Tokyo. Sango, Ayame, Kikyo, and Kagome raced through the streets trying to find the source of where all the screaming was coming from. They got their answer as they turned around the next corner. There in front of them were about a dozen wolves and dogs attacking people. They all quickly pulled out their weapons and got ready to fight. The beasts finally noticed them and recognized the scent of the women that there leaders wanted them to kill, and attacked with great force. Three wolves came charging towards Sango, she swiftly pulled out her boomerang, ''Hiraikotsu!'' she yelled as she threw it towards the wolves. A swirling tornado of wind appeared it caught the wolves and ripped them to shreds. Ayame saw two wolves and four dogs were getting ready to attack her. So she pulled out six darts set them on fire and flung them at her target. As soon as they hit they burst into flame and turned to ashes. Kikyo was also busy with about six of the beasts. She whipped out her katana's; she made a swift movement with them and razor sharp strands of water appeared and sliced the creatures in half. Meanwhile Kagome saw that two of the meanest looking of all the wolves was going to kill an innocent little boy. She grabbed one of her arrows and shot it. But instead of killing the wolf when it hit, vines wrapped around it and sucked out all of its energy until it exploded.
Once all of the animals were destroyed the four look at all the destruction and horror they had caused. Everyone looked at them as if they were freaks, but it did nothing to faze the girls because things like that had happened before and the stares they were used to getting weird stares from the people they had saved.
''It's you. You're the four women that Master Toutousai told me to find.'' A voice said from behind. The four of them recognized the name from what Mistress Kaede had told them and quickly turned around. They were shocked when they saw who was standing right behind them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
''How dare they murder my comrades like that? Who do they think they are?'' Kouga retorted.
''Actually I think it's a good thing they annihilated are troupes.'' Inu Yasha replied. Kouga starred at Inu Yasha as if he was crazy. Noticing this Inu Yasha added, ''because now we know what we're up against. Now let's go back and report this information to the others.'' Kouga was still angry about how his wolves were killed but he mumbled a quick ''whatever'' and with that they silently disappeared into the shadows.
