Quest: The Beginning

Chapter One

"What's wrong Kagome?" Sango asked, while she stared at the well.

She kept silent, fear in her eyes. "The well, it feels strange," she finally answered, "I'm scared to-"

A bright light appeared in front of the well. It was a door. It opened, and the four of them saw a silhouette of a man, with an abnormally long sword. He stepped out.

"So? When does the fun start?"

Inuyasha growled low in his throat and nudged Kagome behind him. "Stay behind me Kagome, he smells like youkai."

She just nodded in response.

The man with the long sword walked toward them a little. Kagome looked over Inuyasha's shoulder. 'He has blood red eyes! He has to be youkai!"

More people walked through the door. A shorter man, dressed in a nice flowered kimono, with long black hair covering his head. He had a katana at his hip. After a few seconds, he strode over to stand by the youkai's side. He looked coolly over the strange new group and area.

Another person walked through the door, this time it was a young woman, also dressed in a flowered kimono. Resting on her hip were guns, and they appeared to have 3 barrels. She seemed to be looking only at Kagome.

A fourth person came out the door and it closed. This time, a man, standing tall. He had a bandana on his head, striped like a tiger's pelt. His short hair was red. He wore a white shirt, with red stripes, again, like tiger stripes, and black pants. On his arm, was a tattoo in Japanese, and his fingers seemed to be numbered off one to eight.

The man with red eyes looked back, and glared at the girl.

"Hey Ugly! You mind telling me where we are!"

The girls face immediately went red with anger, and she swore at him, while the man in the bandana held her down.

The second man then spoke to the new group. "Hello, I'm new to the area," he said, chuckling while he approached Sango. He took her hands. "You're a pretty one. Do you mind showing me around?" He kissed her hand. He then groped her chest.

"AH! HENTAI!" Sango screamed. And a loud crack was heard, and Miroku's laughter echoed through the forest. The man with blood red eyes turned around and sighed.

"You're pathetic Yukimura." He then locked gazes with Inuyasha. "But I would like for you to show us around if you don't mind. Unless you wanna die." He grinned.

"Bring it on youkai!" Inuyasha said, yanking Tetsusaiga out of its sheath. "You're not bossing us around!" Inuyasha then dashed towards the man with red eyes. He laughed.

"Such courage! Too bad though… I'm gonna have to kill you for attacking me…" he unsheathed his long sword and parried Inuyasha's strike easily. He laughed. Yukimura rubbed his cheek, which had a red hand imprinted on it. The man pushed Inuyasha back, and laughed, a chilling, icy sound. The girl seemed upset he was fighting, and the tiger man looked extremely excited.

"That guy in red has no chance." Said the tiger man. The girl looked even more worried. "None the less I love watching Kyo fight! He's way beyond me! Hihi!" He danced around like a giddy child.

Miroku and Sango, who was still mad, stared at him, oblivious to the fight.

"What a weird man," Miroku whispered to Sango.

"I'll agree with you on that."

"Yep! That's Benitora for you!" Miroku and Sango both jumped in surprise.

"When did you get back there!" yelped Miroku.

"That's not the point," he winked and giggled, "I haven't introduced myself, I am Yukimura Sanada, and you might want to pay attention to the fight, because the one fighting, is the legendary Demon Eyes Kyo, the unstoppable Samurai! Anyway, you might want to stop the fight, 'cause Kyo won't hesitate killing your friend." He slipped his hand into his hair again and giggled.

Miroku and Sango both turned to face the fight, dumbfounded, and wondered what the hell Yukimura what talking about.

"Bastard!" Inuyasha dashed again toward Kyo, intent on killing him. He slashed at his neck section, and Kyo, parried the blow, took a step toward Inuyasha and slipped the sword down to his neck. Inuyasha instantly froze. Kyo laughed.

"You're slow!" he said and laughed, "How can you even think about killing me if you're so slow!" Kyo stepped back, and turned around. "Tell you what, you show us around, I'll teach you how to be stronger." He looked over his shoulder and locked his red gaze on him. "And one more thing, you don't ever think of endangering any of my companions, aside from Yukimura, he'd kill you easily, but, you so much as scratch Yuya, alright, Benitora might be able to fight you, but you touch her, and you die a swift painful death."

Inuyasha fell to his knees. Kyo sheathed his sword. Kagome ran toward Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha! Are you all right?" she asked. He didn't answer. He didn't even hear her, he just stared at Kyo. 'He's so strong! I don't think even Sesshoumaru could match his speed! And he wasn't even trying!'

Benitora jogged to Kyo and congratulated him on his great fight. Kyo sighed, and walked toward Inuyasha. Yuya stood there, glad Kyo didn't kill him. She hated seeing people die. All though that was her job, being a bounty hunter and all, but she preferred no to kill them.

Yukimura was chatting away with Miroku, while Sango joined the group. Kagome walked toward Kyo, and locked gazes with him.

"What do you think you're doing!" She screamed, her face inches from his. "You can't just waltz over here, and start threatening us!" Kyo sighed. Yuya saw his irritation growing by the second, so she spoke up.

"Hi! I'm Yuya Shiina! Bounty Huntress Extraordinaire! Please don't mind him," she said, pointing at Kyo, she then started to push him away from the screaming girl. "He's just a little grumpy, no people manners!"

"I'm Kagome Higurashi, and that's Inuyasha," she said, pointing down at him. Inuyasha was still shocked, and stiff at stone.

"I'm sorry about your friend," Yuya continued, "Kyo has a tendency to scare the shit out of people. Anyways, would you mind showing us around? Maybe help us?"

"Sure!" Kagome answered, "as long as Kyo doesn't kill anyone in our group. By the way, that's Sango, the demon exterminator and Miroku, the hentai monk." She said that as she pointed them out. They waved to Yuya.

The newfound friends, started to walk toward Kaede's village. Inuyasha snapped out of his daze. Kyo was standing in front of him. His expression was neutral. Then Kyo stuck out his hand in front of Inuyasha's face. "C'mon rookie, lets go."

Inuyasha took his hand, and Kyo heaved him up. Inuyasha muttered a thank you and walked with him to the village.

"I'm Kyo." He said keeping his gaze forward looking at the girl, talking to Kagome.

"I'm Inuyasha." He answered, and he flicked his ears. Kyo chuckled and looked at the appendages. 'I guess he's a demon as well.'

"Well then Inuyasha," Kyo started, "Your training will start tomorrow, when the sun is highest in the sky. Better rest up." He chuckled. Inuyasha growled then laughed.

All right! Chapter 1 is finished. I'll probably be posting at least a chapter a day, or maybe ever 2 – 3 days.
