Inuyasha...
Inuyasha had been walking on the same muddy path for almost a whole day now and was becoming tired. 'I should find a place to camp out for the night.' Inuyasha thought to himself.
"AHHHHHH!" a woman's voice echoed threw the air which caught Inuyasha's attention. He raced to where he heard the woman's cry from. Once he got there he hide behind a tree to see what was going on. A young woman in priestess like clothes lay wounded on the ground with blood pouring from her left knee. There were two large demons standing in front of her with large grins on their faces.
"Hahaha, we told you that you shouldn't have tried to fight us." the taller one laughed.
"Yeah, we weren't going hurt ya' much. All we want is your flesh." the fatter one chuckled.
"Get away." the girl said. She picked up her bow and loaded one arow into it.
"Hehehe, you going to try that one again, girly?" the taller one said as he raised his katana slashing it down towards the girl, slicing the bow in half.
"Ugh." the girl tried to move back but was unable to move far before the fat one grabbed her left ankle.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked with smirk on his face.
'Should I do something?' Inuyasha thought to himself. 'I'm just a human and the Tetsaiga won't do a thing for me now.'
"Let me go you filth!" the girl shouted and kicked the fat demon in the eye.
"My eye!" the demon cried as he let go of the girl to tended to his face. The girl barely got to her feet and started to lip away when the tall one went at her with his katana.
"You asked for it girly!" the demon shouted and thrashed his sword down at the girl. The girl closed her eyes but instead of feeling the pain of a sword she heard a clash noise. Slowly she opened her eyes. In front of her stood Inuyasha holding his Tetsaiga's sheath above him holding off the demon's katana.
"Who the hell are you?" the fat demon asked.
"Leave her alone." Inuyasha said firmly as he moved his sheath to the side knocking off the other demon's katana off.
"You have some guts human." the demon declared.
"Thank you." the girl whispered to Inuyasha.
"It looks like we get two humans for dinner tonight." the tall one said. He then ran at Inuyasha with his katana once again. Inuyasha jumped out of the way but the ground was so muddy he slid when he landed then fell onto the ground. The demon turned around and threw his sword down at Inuyasha. Inuyasha grabbed one of the arrows that were scattered on the ground and thrust it up into the taller demon's left eye.
"AHHH!" the demon cried. He dropped his sword to place one hand on his face and the other on the arrow. "You bastard!" the demon shouted. The fat one ran for the tall one's katana but Inuyasha grabbed it first and sliced it threw the fat ones neck. He fell to the ground in two pieces, his head and his body.
"Damn you!" the tall one growled and took the axe off of his back slicing it threw the air towards Inuyasha. Inuyasha used Tetsaiga's sheath to block that attack with one hand. The tall demon was so strong he started to slid back from the force. Inuyasha let go of his sheath and moved to the side. When the tall demon started to fall forward just a little Inuyasha ran the katana threw the demon's heart. The demon coughed up blood and fell slowly to his knees. Inuyasha removed the katana from the demon's chest and walked over to the girl who was watching wide eyed.
"That... That was..." the girl whispered with stunned a look on her face.
"Are you alright?" Inuyasha asked. 'Why do I have to be so damn nice?' he ate at himself.
"That was amazing! I've only seen one other human fight so well against a demon! You are amazing!" the girl shouted and began to jump up and down but quickly stopped when she realized how much it hurt her knee.
"Those were extremely weak demons." Inuyasha declared. "You were lucky you only ran into low lives like them and not the real deal." He placed his tetsaiga back on his left side and then the other bloody katana on his right. It was a well put together sword so why not use it?
The girl ripped off part of her sleeve and raised her pants legs up so she could tie some clothe around her wound to try to stop the bleeding. Inuyasha grabbed his kimono top and lifted it up a little to examine his kimono. It now had blood stained all over it and he could feel blood on his face as well. He was lucky his kimono was a red color so the blood would not stand out so much but he had to wash the blood off his face. "Do you know where a rive is?" Inuyasha asked.
"A rive? No, but there's a small pound just ahead." the girl answered. "I'll show you to it. I was just going there." the girl said and stood up but as soon as she tried to walk her knee hurt so much she almost fell to the ground. Inuyasha caught her right arm and pulled her up.
"I'll just carry you to the pound then." Inuyasha announced.
"No! I couldn't let you do that. I mean... I'm heavy and you have already helped me enough." the girl said.
"You skinny and scrawny you can't be that heavy and we are going to the same place anyway." Inuyasha said.
"I'm not scrawny." the girl protested.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Inuyasha whispered and knelt down. "Just grab my neck and I'll take you to the pound." Inuyasha demanded.
"Alright." the girl mumbled and did as he told her to.
After a short walk, which was in complete silence, they reached the small pound. Inuyasha gently sat the girl down and walked over to the water. He dipped his hands into the water then splashed the water in his face. It was ice cold because of the rain fall but after all that work it felt good against his face. If the girl wasn't around he would wash his clothes but didn't feel the need to get undressed in front of a stranger. "Here we go." the girl spoke to herself as she picked a few purple flowers and some other herbs that were lined up against the pound.
"You are a priestess?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes, well, kinda. I'm more of a priestess in training. My Master is still teaching me things." the girl said proudly.
"I see." Inuyasha stood up.
"Sir, do you have a place to stay for the night? It'll be night soon, you know." the girl stated and limped to his side.
"No..." Inuyasha answered suspiciously.
"Alright then! To repay you for helping me so much you may come back to my village and stay at the inn my brother works. It will be free, of course, but there's one more catch." the girl said a little timidly. Inuyasha stared at the girl suspiciously and after thinking it over for a while he answered.
"What is that?"
"You... will carry me back to my village, please." the girl smiled shyly. "It hurts to much to walk and it would take me tell after night fall to get back." Inuyasha thought over the deal for a while. "You would get free bedding, food, and-" Inuyasha cut her off.
"Alright then." A well cooked meal was good enough for him. It had been a while since he had to hunt his own meal down and didn't feel like doing so tonight.
Inuyasha looked back at the girl he was carrying on his back now. She had long black hair tied lossy up like Sango once wore her hair. She had dark blue eyes, which were very unusual in Japan and the palest skin Inuyasha had seen in a while. "My name is Akina by the way." the girl said once she caught Inuyasha staring at her.
"Great." Inuyasha mumbled to himself and looked ahead.
"The polite thing to do now is tell me your name." Akina said as she rested her head on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"It's Inuyasha." He replied.
"Inu meaning dog and Yasha meaning devil demon?" Akina asked. "That's a strange name."
"Yeah, well that's my name." Inuyasha said as he began to grow annoyed with the girl.
"Hm, well, my name is somewhat weird, too. It means spring flower." Akina explained.
"Alright." Inuyasha didn't care one bit what her name meant and was begging to wonder if free food was worth the trouble of this girl. Akina stopped talking and closed her eyes. Inuyasha glared at Akina once he realized she had fallen asleep. "Hey! Wake up girl! I don't know where your village is!" Inuyasha nudged his shoulder that she had her head rested on.
"Huh? Oh, I didn't mean to fall asleep." Akina whispered. She raised her head off his shoulder. "Uh, take a left turn here."
"Alright." Inuyasha took the path to his left like Akina told him to. Inuyasha began to slow down. After a sort while he stopped walking all together. Akina and him both began to look about the forest that lined the path they were on.
"Do you feel that?" Akina asked.
"Yeah." Inuyasha answered. A dark and evil aura began to move closer and closer to them.
"I' it another demon." Akina asked.
"Yeah, and this one is stronger then the last." Inuyasha added. 'Damn in my human form I can't fight off a demon this powerful. Why did I let Kagome talk me into using the jewel that way! Gr! I'm an gullible idiot sometimes...' he thought to himself.
"Show yourself demon!" Akina shouted.
"Inuyasha? Is that you?" a voice asked as a shadow appeared out of the bushes in front of them.
"Who are you?" Inuyasha asked.
"Do you not remember me?" the figure asked. Inuyasha's eyes widened as the creature moved out of the shadows and into the little light that shine from the sky.
