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, while getting ready to film another scene, Yure and Juro seem to have a rather fateful encounter – especially when such encounter involves Yure risking her neck to push Juro out of the way of falling rubble. When she disappears under the scraps, Juro tries to dig her out, but shocker! She's gone…

"Ugh..." Yure moaned as her fingers curled into her palms. The first thing she could think of doing was making sure that she was okay and that nothing was broken; therefore, she pushed herself up before moving her ankles, wrists, knees, etc. to find that nothing was injured and that she was indeed alright. For the first time since waking up, she opened her eyes and looked around, immediately recognizing that she was no longer in the mini-shrine. "Where am I...?" She asked herself before she heard a raspy voice from behind. "A priestess?" "She looks tasty," she heard another voice say, "I call her liver!" Her eyes widened and she turned around, her knuckles turning white as her grasp on her bag tightened with each passed moment, "You will not get near me!" Of course, once she realized that the ones before her were large, badger-like creatures rather than the "bandits" she was supposed to fight in the movie, her eyes widened again. "Let's get her!" The first creature called before the two lunged at her. They're not following the script! Yure screamed in her mind, that means... "I don't have to, either!"
Within a moment, Yure tossed her black, draw-string bag aside, but not before reaching in and pulling out two large, rib-like weapons. On each rib was a handle onto which she held like tonfas. Whle the left was much smaller than the right, which easily spanned over two feet in length, it held an extremely sharp pike. Similarly, a thin blade ran along the flat of the right "Rib" as she called them.
Before the first demon could reach her, she forced her left forearm forward, impaling the demon's head with the pike, before slicing its neck with a smooth sweep of the blade on the right Rib. "How dare you!" The second demon snarled, daring his fangs and claws. Without giving him a chance to retaliate, Yure charged at him and slammed her right fist into the demon's sternum, pushing the frontmost tip of the Rib into its throat. When the demon fell, the first thing she noticed was the blood dripping off her Ribs. "Eh? Blood?" She muttered, realizing for the first time that those were, indeed, real demons. "Where the hell am I...?"
Looking around once more, she saw a couple of things sticking out of the ground a little. "Eh…?" Walking away from the two corpses, she uncovered the items, finding them to be a broken arrow and a rusty blade. An arrow and a blade…? She said in her mind, Could that mean…
She stood and picked her bag up, taking note of where – or rather, when – she was. "I'm back…?"
