Autumn Hugs and Forever Love
Based on the InuYasha Series
Chapter One

Autumn leaves tumbled to the ground of the great grassy plains, as soft breezes past by, blowing the colored trees of Feudal Japan. Everything was quiet and calm, just until you heard a loud scream of a 15 year old girl. "INUYASHA SIT!" Suddenly there was a loud sound, and there, a group of people sat and looked at the demon with an odd expression on their faces. There was a young 15 year old girl with long black hair and chocolate brown eyes; she wore a short green mini skirt and a white long sleeved blouse with a small red bow. There was also a monk with short black hair tied in a small pony tail, sticking out from the back of his head. He wore long black and blue robes with a golden staff; he had a purple cloth tied around his right arm with prayer beads covering the cloth. There was also a Demon Slayer with a large boomerang as her weapon, and she had pink and black armor on, but with purple and green robes over them. On her lap lie a small demon with two tails and tan skin with black marks on her tail and head. Then there was the small Fox Demon standing behind the 15 year old girl, he had blue pants on with and orange shirt, he had a poofy tail and a small ribbon in his hair. Below the 15 year old girl, whose face lie in the ground was a Dog Demon with silver hair and white dog ears. He had red robes on his body and lie there motionless.

"Humph, you should know better than to pick a fight with me InuYasha." The young 15 year old said. "W-Why you..." InuYasha said slowly struggling to get to his feet. "Kagome, Shouldn't we be on our way?" Asked the Demon Slayer. "Yes, I agree Sango, as soon as InuYasha and Kagome are done with their argument we shall get a move on." The Monk said wisely. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN ARGUMENT?" InuYasha said clutching his fist at Miroku, The monk. "InuYasha, I did not wish to provoke you, I was just stating the fact that you and Kagome had an argument and as soon as you two are finished we can get along with out journey." He sighed and said. "Humph, we are done; now let's continue our journey to collect the shikon jewel shards." Kagome said while moving towards Sango. Sango and Kagome had a close friendship, they could tell each other anything that was on their minds. The group walked along the dusty path hoping they would find a Shikon Jewel Shard that was scattered across the lands of Feudal Japan, at the start of InuYasha and Kagome's journey Kagome accidentally shot an arrow at the Sacred Shikon Jewel, and it shattered into tiny pieces across the lands. So their main concern was to collect the shards and make the jewel whole. However there was one problem; Naraku. Naraku was also a half demon just like InuYasha, but he held most of the jewel in his hands. Naraku was a vicious cold blooded demon, who gave no mercy what's so ever to anyone. He had two reincarnations; Kagura and Kanna. Kagura took control of the winds with her fan and Kanna stole souls of the living with her enchanted mirror. No matter how many times InuYasha and the group tried, they could never kill Naraku, He would always run away when he was closest to death. So the group travels across the lands to try and stop Naraku for good.

"Look a village is just ahead!" Kagome said looking into the horizon at a small village. The sun was setting and dusk was approaching. "Maybe we can rest there; I need a good bath anyway." Sango said holding her tiny companion Kirara in her arms. "Shippo are you ok? You've been so quiet this whole time." Kagome looked at Shippo and said. "I'm fine, thanks for you concern though." Shippo answered back. Shippo always tried his best in battle to prove to the others that he can be dependable. He always had done what he could to help InuYasha and the others. Although he is small, his fox magic held great power, he just didn't know it. The group arrived at the small village, where they were immediately greeted by the village's headman. "Please, you look like strong warriors, Please help us..." The headman said. Sango clutched her Hiraikotsu and asked the headman "What is the matter? Is it a demon?" "Yes, it has been terrorizing the villages for some time now, Please do help us." The headman pleaded. "I bet its one of those weak and helpless demons that you mortals fear for your life because you have nothing better to do, and besides all this helping is making me feel funny." InuYasha said. "InuYasha! These people need our help! We should help them!" Kagome shouted at InuYasha. "FINE, but just this once!" InuYasha snapped. "If you slay the demon for us we will gladly pay you, and you can stay here free anytime you wish! Just please help us brave warriors." The headman said. The Headman shown InuYasha and the others to the village inn and informed them that they stay free. There they all sat waiting for the demon's arrival.

"So InuYasha, We haven't got to talk much...Look, I'm sorry about earlier...forgive me?" Kagome said innocently. "Yeah whatever." InuYasha said as he pouted next to the wall. Kagome looked down sadly and thought to herself "InuYasha must hate me now...over another stupid argument..." "Kagome, what's wrong? You seem down..." Sango walked over to Kagome and sat down next to her. "I'm fine..." Kagome said sadly. "You sure don't seem ok...Anything you want to talk about?" Sango asked in her worried voice. "No...I'm fine...but thank you."

"Kagome, Come on, you can tell me."

"Sango...I'm fine..."

"If you say so...but remember I'm here if you need to talk..."

Sango walked back across the room, but noticed Miroku was gone. "Hats weird...Miroku isn't here...Have any of you seen him?" Sango asked the group. "He's probably out with woman being the lecherous monk he is." InuYasha said. Sango grabbed her Hiraikotsu and walked out the door. As she walked down the path of the village she heard a familiar voice, it was Miroku's voice, so she walked a little more down the path to see him reading young women's palms. "Why what have we here, your palm says you will have many children, and a handsome husband too! What a lucky palm you have!" Miroku said while looking at a woman's palm. "Why that lecherous monk!" Sango mumbled. "I'll show him!" Sango walked over to the Miroku's line of women and waited for her turn to reach the monk. "Why what have we here? Your palm says you will also have many children and that you will have a charming husband! Isn't that amazing?" "Oh why you handsome monk! I'm flattered by your words!" A woman shouted. Finally it was Sango's turn to reach the monk. Just as he looked forward he had seen Sango with an evil glare on her face.

"Ha-ha isn't this a surprise? Have you come to get your palm read also?"

"Don't flatter yourself monk, I came to get you, we have a job, to wait for the demon! And here I find you flirting with women!"

"Now-now Sango, No need to get upset, There's plenty room for you!"

"WHY YOU!"

Just as she said that, Miroku placed his hand on her bottom, and that just made her flame with anger. SLAP! Sango instantly slapped Miroku with anger. "Humph, you should know better than that!" Sango snapped and walked off. The sun was completely set, Sango and Miroku was walking back to the village's inn until they felt the ground of the village shook rapidly. It was the demon, it HAD to be. InuYasha and Kagome ran outside, InuYasha with Tetsusaiga in his hand, and Kagome with a bow clutched in hers.
