Chapter 1: First Meeting

A 20-year-old teenage half demon was in his hut, tossing and turning in his bed. He wasn't asleep, no. On the contrary he was just bored, with nothing to do. He wore red fire-rat clothing and he goes by the name Inuyasha. Inuyasha didn't have to work, nor basically do anything. His life was mainly about protecting the village, eat, then sleep, protecting the village, eat, then sleep. (A/N: I purposely repeated it) The villagers respected and practically praised him because he would keep them safe from any danger. A never did he once fail them. Everyone admired him die to his skills in battle and the generosity he showed to people around him. In return, they had to offer him food, and shelter. His hut was the biggest one of all. Inuyasha was born and raised in this village by his parents, with his father being a demon, and mother being a human. Unlike other mean devils, Inuyasha didn't cared much about being half. He was proud of what he was and loved his parents deeply. On one tragic day, they died in the fire trying to protect him. He was really sad, but then got over it as he learned to get on with life.

Anyways, Inuyasha got up and exited the hut. The villagers who were walking by greeted him kindly, and he greeted back too. Then, he made his way to the forest, a place he always went when he was bored or depressed. About a quarter into the forest, a sudden swift of the smell of bittersweet blood came by his nose.

"I must find out what is going on", he thought to himself.

He started running faster and faster, following the scent. When he arrived at the scene of the bloody victim, he saw a young girl, around the age of 18. She was half conscious and half unconscious. She moaned a little due to the major pain she had. Inuyasha approached her slowly. There were wounds starting from her mid-chest down to her stomach. 3. Three long, thick gashes coming down, with each having a lot of blood pouring down. Inuyasha's eyes were wide open at the present scene. The girl lifted up her head with a lot of difficulties. She looked at him with half opened eyes, and wincing at the same time.

"Are you going to try to kill me too?" she managed to say.

"Eh? What are you talking about? I live to protect people. I don't kill so don't mistaken me from other evil demons." Replied Inuyasha.

She just looked at him wearing a weird face. She couldn't hold it any longer. Before she was able to say anything back, the darkness took over. Finally unconsciousness took over her. Her heavy eyes dropped, wincing stopped, and moans were quiet. Inuyasha immediately lifted the mysterious girl and carried her off to his hut where he could get the village doctors to heal her.

As he was closing in to the village, a yellow strip came right at him. He knew it was deadly because it was never there. Inuyasha made a quick stop. He turned his head into all the different ways, but found no one. Inuyasha thought to himself, "I have to keep going, before this girl passes away". Ignoring what just happened he ran rapid like a coyote running for his life.

The yellow strip was indeed dangerous. Unknown to Inuyasha, another handsome demon was standing there. His golden orbs were staring at them…no…at her.

Inuyasha knew he had to hurry. He sensed death around the dying stranger in his arms. Her long, black raven hair was around his arm. The blood that was oozing from her terrible wounds was dripping off onto his arms and hands too. Under all the blood, Inuyasha could smell the sweet lavender. It was her scent.

He arrived into his hut and laid the girl onto the unmade bed. He ran out the hut and called for a female doctor. One quickly arrived at his doorstep, ready to help her savior.

"Fix this girl before she dies. Death is ringing near", ordered Inuyasha

"Yes Lord Inuyasha. I shall instantly get to work", replied the lady. She was about to start working when she stopped abruptly," Lord Inuyasha, would you please exit so I may concentrate more?"

Then he just left. What if she doesn't make it? Am I too late? I beg you Almighty God to please save this girl from her doom. I don't believe its fate that caused this. He waited outside impatiently. About three hours later, the doctor and her helpers came back out.

"My lord, the girl is fine, but she needs a lot of rest. Her wounds were deep so I had no choice but to stitch her up. The bleeding stopped but there might be a chance that it might open up again. When she awakes, it is best for no stress or fright comes to her. I've bandaged her up thickly", reported the doctor.

" Thank- you doctor. If you weren't here, she might be dead already", Inuyasha said.

Right after he said that, Inuyasha entered the hut. The sight in front of him was a beauty. She had black raven hair that was well tucked under her fragile body. Her eyes were closed with no smile on her face, yet it was a peaceful sign. Her arms were each by the side of her either side. Her legs were side-by-side from each other. She wore a white kimono top that had black strips. She also wore black bottom- kimono. Her skinned were tanned peach and her nails were well polished. Aside from these her scent was the greatest. It was even better then the best flowers or perfume you've smelled. She was no doubt human, but not just any human. Inuyasha couldn't tell the distinct smell, so he ignored it for now. He went closer to the sleeping girl.

I have a feeling a good relationship is going to happen. Wait…where did that thought come from? Am I falling in love in merely a few hours? That is impossible.

His thoughts stopped at the sound of the girl moan a little bit. Inuyasha looked at her. Her eyes slowly opened, exposing her chocolate brown eyes. They were the prettiest eyes he has ever laid on. Then his thoughts were broken again when the girl attempted to get up. A shocking pain erected in her body, causing her to clutch her wounds quickly. Inuyasha held her and forced her back down

"Don't touch me", said the girl.

"Euh. I was trying to help you", argued Inuyasha.

"I never asked for help. In fact, I never even asked for you to find me".

"Well that's kind of too late". He was shocked by the words she had just spoken. Such manners he would not tolerate, but finally made a choice to accept it for now because of the injuries she received.

The stranger looked down, then away to the opposite of Inuyasha's face.

"I'm sorry", she started, and "I guess I'm just cranky."

"Don't worry about it. You are forgiven. Please stay here and heal up", offered Inuyasha.

"No. I don't suppose that is a very good idea. I have places to go and people to meet."

"I won't allow you. You need to stay here and rest. And don't you dare to refuse me anymore because if I say you're staying here then you are."

She looked at him, nodding her head. The second Inuyasha saw that nod; he gave in a wide smile.

"I am the protector of this village. My name is Inuyasha and I'm 20. Please to meet you. What is your name?" asked Inuyasha.

"My name is Kagome and I'm 18. Please to meet you too."

Inuyasha stuck out his hand. Kagome hesitated but eventually stuck out hers too. They shook each other's hands and smiled lightly. That night, Inuyasha brought food into the hut where they both enjoyed the good, not to mention each other's company too. Kagome couldn't really get up, so Inuyasha did all the services, something in which he didn't mind. Close to dawn, they both feel asleep. She was sleeping on the bed and Inuyasha was sleeping on the other one.

The following morning, Inuyasha got up and stretched.

" Good morning Kagome!" he greeted

There was no reply. So he opened his eyes and looked at Kagome's bed. No one was there. Kagome wasn't there. She wasn't even in the hut. Oh no! I thought she agreed that she wouldn't leave. What an idiot I am! I have to go search for her. He thought of her wounds and became even more worried. In less than 2 seconds he was out and searching for his new companion.

Cliff- hanger alert! Stay tuned
