Hi people! I'm back with my next chapter! And don't worry it's a whole lot longer than the prologue.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the story.

The Journey Beyond

Chapter 1

The next morning she woke up in a field of flowers. "Huh? Where am I?" Sakura said to herself. Getting up she started to look around. "A forest? How the Hell did I get in a forest!" she said, angrily. Then she remembered last night…she had gone to bed and—she couldn't remember anything after that. Then she thought quickly "Huhh! Oh no! I left my window open last night! A serial killer could have come in and kidnapped me! He could be waiting behind a bush ready to kill me! AAAAHHHH!" she screamed right after that thought. "Oh wait a minute…if a serial killer wanted to kill me he would have done so right then. Huh…well if that's not the case then…HOW DID I GET HERE?" she yelled. "Well I guess I better go find someone who can tell me where I am. Just sitting here won't get me anywhere." She said to herself. She set off to find anyone who could help her.

A few HOURS, yes HOURS, later she heard people talking. "I could've sworn I heard someone" a man's voice said. "Or something…" a woman's voice said. " Who or what are they talkin' about?" Sakura whispered quietly to herself. Then out of nowhere a giant snake-like creature came out from behind the trees. "AAHH!" the man and woman screamed. Sakura did nothing but stand there in shock and not to mention scared to death. She watched in horror as the snak-like creature scooped the man and woman up with its tongue and start to chew. Then when it was done having an early dinner it turned its attention to Sakura. Sakura screamed and tried to run but smacked into a tree instead. "Oh no! I'm gonna die!...No…not here…not like this…"She picked a long and slender stick-yeah that's right a STICK!- and charged at the monster. "CHAAAAARRRGE!" she shouted. In proudness (is that even a word?) her eyes glowed gold and electricity shot out of her eyes and staright at the creatures head. The monster shrieked in pain and collapsed only to get back up and slither toward Sakura again. Then while she was huddled in a corner waiting for death to come she heard a teenage boy's voice,"WINDSCAR!" A flash of white waves traveled quickly toward the monster like an earthquake. The monster shrieked in pain one last time as it exploded in black smoke. "Whoa…" Sakura whispered to herself. "But…who did that?" she accidentally said out loud. Hearing her ask that the boy said "Me." "Oh!" Sakura jumped at the sudden answer and turned around. Sitting on a tree branch a teenage boy sat. From what Sakura could see from down on the ground he had long silver hair and wore strange red clothing. "What are you lookin' at?" the boy asked rudely and jumped down from the branch and walked toward Sakura. Now she got a better look at him. He had beautiful amber colored eyes, claws, fangs and…--dog ears? He was also bare footed. Sakura couldn't help but think how cute he was. "Hey! Why are you staring at me like that!" He said slightly blushing. Not realizing she was staring she started to blush too. "Oh! Sorry! My name's Sakura by the way. What's yours? "Mine? My name is none of your business!" he said rudely. "Oh…sorry." Sakura said sadly. "Well thank you for saving me. I'll leave now." The boy feeling sorry for once in his life said "Wait! Don't go!" Sakura slowly turned around and walked back to the boy. "I-I…I'm…sorry."he managed to say. "My name is InuYasha." "InuYasha…"Sakura said dreamily her head tilting. "Hey! There ya go again staring at me like that! Why do you do that?" InuYasha shouted. Sakura snapped out of it and said "Oh! I'm sorry. I've just never met a boy as handsome as you before…" she said falling back into her trance. InuYasha blushed and swiftly turned away so Sakura could see his face as red as a tomato. InuYasha then remembered 'That girls' eyes glowed and wounded that demon! What was that power?'
