Night Calls

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, nor do I own its characters. I do, however, own Yure Takeshi and the events revolving around her -- these include her circumstances in the feudal era as well as the movies mentioned in the story ( and to the best of my knowledge, these movies do not exist ).

Summary: There was one other survivor from the Demon Slayer Village, but she wasn't there during the decimation. Where was she? More of a when. Somehow, she found herself in "present-day Japan" and eighteen years later, she returns to the time in which she truly belongs -- certainly, this wasn't in the devious plan of the nefarious Naraku as well! Or was it?

Rated for safety. And what kind of writer would I be if I didn't ask for a response from the readers?

In the last chapter, Kagome has returned to the feudal era, but accidentally called Sango by the name of Yure. She seemed a little shock, but no matter. A mission is at hand! Naraku's whereabouts are still unknown, but there is suspicious demon activity in a place called Hayasaki Town. With any luck, there'll be a Shikon Shard involved…

"I will avenge you..."

In front of the well, Yure was sitting with fists of rage set in her lap. Her black hair was loosely tied behind her shoulders with a while ribbon. The actress donned a while kimono, as well as a red hakama and wooden sandals, giving her the appearance of a Shinto priestess. Her eyes, as dark as they were, pierced through the shadows that her bangs cast on her face which was littered with blood and scratches, just as her clothes were. "Father," she uttered through clenched teeth, "I swear on all that is holy that you will be avenged. Even if I spend the rest of my life fighting and suffering, it matters not. I will not rest until your soul is brought to peace." With that, she pushed herself to stand, picked up a bow and quiver of arrows, and made her way up the stairs toward the door.

"CUT!"

Yure looked over at the director who stood up smiling, "Perfect, Takeshi. As always, you're right on the money! And it you're as good as this for the entire movie, we'll make tons of it! Now, let's go straight to the fight scene outside! Yoko, is the puppet ready?" "Yes, sir!" a voice called from outside. "Splendid!" He exclaimed as he turned to the door, "Then, outside we go!"

As the people left the mini-shrine, Yure stepped gingerly down the stairs to pick up a rather large black bag she had set down under a loft. "Yure, why do you always carry that old bag?" Juro asked as he followed her, "I've never seen you without it." Yure opened her mouth to answer, but before she could say anything, she heard a slight crack from above her. "Watch out!" She yelled at Juro as she pushed him out from under the loft. She, however, could only cover her head and close her eyes as the boards above her collapsed and she disappeared under the rubble. "Takeshi!" He leapt forward and pulled back the rubble, piece by piece, but when he got to the bottom of the pile, the worst thing that could ever happen occurred.

"She's gone!"
