Dragon Fang: Destiny Rising

By: Dracula's Dame

Author's Note: Wow! The first (or second... whichever...) chapter out already! That's amazing especially for me! Oh well, I guess that's the good thing about having Veteran's Day off. So... I hope you enjoy this! And please review!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does. Thanks again for creating him and his show! The only character I own is Mitsuko.

:Chapter One: The Beginning of a Destiny:

"Lord Sugashi... I have something to give to your bodyguard." a black-haired human boy said, holding out a red envelope to the gray-haired human lord of the east. His black eyes looking into the boy's green ones with disgust.

"Which one? Saluki? Kazunari?"

"No sir. It's for... the female inuyoukai, Mitsuko." the boy said with fear of the lord in his voice. Sugashi grimaced at the name of the inuyoukai servant. He hated her.

"Fine... hand it over... I will give it to her," he said and after he handed it over, the boy left. How dare she get deliveries here. An inferior creature like her? He didn't even want her here to begin with, but he had no choice. It was his father, Lord Narashi, the youkai loving fool. Well, he wasn't just going to hand it over... not before he read it anyway.

He opened it up and began reading it. "Oh my... this is very interesting... well... she won't be getting it if I can help it."

He closed it and resealed it. Sugashi smiled evilly as he, himself, went to locate the inuyoukai in question.

"Man, this is getting boring... I really wish that I could get out of here..." a dark black haired girl said. Her hair was mid-back length and was whipping in the wind as she practiced her martial arts and sword skills.

She swung her katana and gasped as she almost hit her lord. She knelt immediately and lowered her deep golden red eyes. He looked furious.

Suddenly, though, his fury lifted and he looked moderately happy. She raised and eyebrow and stood as he motioned to her. There was something odd about his expression... he was planning something.

"Mitsuko... you have received a letter from an anonymous sender. Do you accept it?"

"Yes, my Lord. I do." Mitsuko said as she took the letter from his extended hand. Her eyes widened as she read it... it was unbelievable...

My dearest Mitsuko,

I am happy to inform you that I, your father, have decided that you are finally old enough to carry the Dragon Fang. Our family legend. Now, I know you probably do not want this burden, but you have no choice. For it is your destiny. So, farewell for now, my daughter, and please do not abuse what I am allowing you to have.

Farewell,

Your father.

"Oh my... Kami... what is this!" She said, surprised. All of a sudden, as she read it over again, a sword appeared in midair. All present gasped as the katana floated down and landed softly on the ground. It had a strange black and red aura. Mitsuko's golden red eyes widened and she groaned as she knelt to grasp the blade's scabbard.

Before she could grasp it, though, Sugashi shot down and grabbed it himself. She stood back up and grinned evilly.

"What the fuck? Lord Sugashi? What are you doing?" Mitsuko said nervously.

"I am getting back at all of you good for nothing, inferior beings. It's a shame that you will have to die. But, it's for the best, for me anyway..."

As he said that, Mitsuko could have sworn that she saw Dragon Fang pulse. It did... she wasn't mistaken. All of a sudden, a jolt was sent up Sugashi's body. He yelped and automatically dropped the blade.

Dragon Fang shot itself into Mitsuko's fighting hand. She looked at it, disgusted. How could her father do this to her? She looked over at Sugashi and saw the plain, downright fury in his black eyes. She gulped.

"MITSUKO! YOU GET OUT OF MY KINGDOM THIS INSTANT!" Sugashi roared. Everyone around him shrunk down. Mitsuko nodded in silence and left the castle grounds. Sugashi smirked and chuckled as she did and she heard it. 'He was planning this... that son of a bitch! And you... you stupid ass sword! You did this...' Mitsuko thought viciously. She jumped into the high tree tops and jumped up and away from the Lord of the Eastern Lands and his kingdom.

"INUYASHA! SIT!" yelled a very pissed off Kagome Higurashi. Inuyasha, the silver haired inuhanyou, crashed to the ground face first.

"SHIT! YOU STUPID BITCH! DON'T DO THAT!" he yelled back. Kagome was heated. Inuyasha was heated. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo just watched in agony.

"Here they go again... this is the fifth time today! What is going on between them?" Miroku sighed out.

"Hell, if I know... I'm not going to risk my life by getting in the middle of them!" Sango said. Shippo nodded in agreement and Kirara purred and mewed.

"KAGOME! I ALREADY TOLD YOU! I WAS NOT WITH KIKYO! DAMN!"

"YES YOU WERE YOU STUPID JERK!"

"NO I WAS NOT!"

"YES YOU WERE!"

"No... I was not... I was just scanning the horizon for stray demons!"

"Uh huh... then why were Kikyo's soul collectors around you?"

"I've already explained that! She was nearby, but I did not see her! Now drop it! Damn! Why do you care so much about it anyway?"

"SIT! And I... I... I do not care..."

"STOP THAT!"

"OKAY! BOTH OF YOU! SHUT UP NOW!" Miroku shouted out. Both Kagome and Inuyasha stopped and looked at him.

"What is it Miroku?"

"Yeah! What do you want houshi?"

"I hear something..."

"Shit! Ow... damn it! What the hell! Why did dad think I would be able to control you? Damn it!" Mitsuko yelled out in pain. She looked down and examined the blade in her hand. It's handle had a dark red dragon carved expertly into it. It had piercing black eyes and was breathing a blinding silver flame. The scabbard had the same design carved into it, except the dragons eyes were real rubies.

Mitsuko was trying to learn to control Dragon Fang and it just wouldn't work. Every time she would try a basic attack it would just swing back up and hit her in the face or the chest. She was getting really pissed off... and was making a lot of noise because of it.

"DAMN IT! YOU STUPID KATANA! I didn't even want you in the first place! Grr..."

'Wait... I hear something...'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I hear it now! Where is it coming from?"

"Inuyasha?"

"Hell if I know wench..."

"Inuyasha! I swear... if you call me a wench one more time I will..."

"What? Sit me? I'm used to it be now wench..."

"Shut up!" Miroku growled out. Kagome and Inuyasha were still glaring at each other. Sango rolled her eyes, annoyed. Shippo sighed.

It was then that Inuyasha heard a voice.

"Shit... stupid katana..."

"Uh... I don't think it's a demon..." Shippo whispered.

"Yeah... it's a demon... just not too dangerous from what I am hearing." Inuyasha said.

"And I don't sense any jewel shards, so... it must not be too powerful..."

"Oh... shit... LOOK OUT KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted. He jumped in front of Kagome and used the Tetsusaiga to block the attack of an inuyoukai.

"DAMN IT! I'm not fast enough! Fuck..." The inuyoukai growled out. She jumped down and landed a few feet away from the stunned group.

"What the hell... why did you just attack us?"

"Oh... I'm sorry... I was just trying to practice..."

"PRACTICE WHAT? KILLING A MIKO?"

"Oh... I'm so sorry... I thought that you guys were youkai. Sorry again... by the way... I'm Mitsuko, ex-bodyguard of Lord Sugashi, Lord of the Eastern Lands."

"Okay... first of all... what in the hell is a demon doing working for a human? And second... what were you practicing?" Sango asked in a frenzy.

"Uh... the first question... I was sold into it by my father to Lord Narashi, Lord Sugashi's father. And the second one... well, I was trying to learn to use this katana. It's been in my family for years and I just inherited it. It's called Dragon Fang..." Mitsuko said, sighing. Inuyasha, Shippo, and Sango gasped.

"What? What is it?"

"Is that the real, genuine Dragon Fang?"

"Yeah... why? Have you heard of it?"

"Yeah! It's legendary!"

"Really? I just thought it was a plain old katana. Um... can you help me learn to control it?"

"No... absolutely not!" Inuyasha growled out. Mitsuko looked down. Kagome glared at Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha. She would like our help. I think that we should lend it to her."

"No."

"Inuyasha... I said yes. Now, you can agree or disagree, but that will not change the fact that we are helping her."

"Wench, I swear..."

"INUYASHA... I SAID... Oh hell... SIT INUYASHA!" As the rosary around his neck pulsed, Inuyasha crashed to the ground. Kagome smirked.

"Okay, Mitsuko. We will help you."

So... on a side note... if any of you are partial to the whole Kagome/Inuyasha/Kikyo triangle thing... then I am sorry. This story is Inuyasha/Kagome only. Gods... I hate that clay biotch. Well, I will update soon enough! Keep reading and remember to review! Thanks much!
