Chapter 1: Kidnapped

Kagome Higurashi walked silently down the street. Once more Inuyasha had visited her house and now this time he had brought Miroku and Sango somehow. She looked behind her Miroku, Sango and Inuyasha dressed in school clothes. Smiling to her self she looked ahead.

"These are strange clothes…," Miroku said looking at his.

"I like mine," Sango said looking at her skirt.

"I like yours too," Miroku said grinning.

Sango sighed. "Great…"

Inuyasha jogged ahead to catch up to Kagome. "Hey um…what's this school thing you're talking about?"

"Well…it's where you learn things…"

"That's going to be hard for Inuyasha then," Miroku said smiling.

Inuyasha muttered to himself then stopped as someone dropped in front of them. He looked mortal though but he had the aura of a demon. Inuyasha nervously tightened his cap so his dog ears wouldn't show.

"Hello," the man said quickly whipping out a wooden sword. "Which of you is Inuyasha?"

"Me," Inuyasha said stepping up.

"I challenge you!" the man cried swinging his sword quickly.

Inuyasha grabbed it with 2 fingers and looked at it. "Hm, only a wooden sword eh?"

"Let go!"

"Tsk, tsk you shouldn't be so angry."

"INUYASHA!" A voice screamed.

Inuyasha looked behind him to see Miroku and Sango knocked out and Kagome being taken away by a cloaked figure.

"You distracted me didn't you?" Inuyasha roared grabbing the man by the collar.

"Remember my name," he hissed his body smoking. "It's Lupin, and you will find I'm much more formidable than Naraku. This was my mortal form, once you see my demon form you'll wish you hadn't."

Inuyasha raised his hand ready to deliver a punch then fell back as the body exploded.

Miroku sat up slowly then fell back when Inuyasha's body crashed into his. "Get…off of me…"

Inuyasha laughed stupidly his mind fogged from the smoke. "This is fun!"

"Great…," Sango said sitting up and dragging him off.

"Do you have any idea where that demon may have taken Kagome?"

"I don't have the slightest idea…," Miroku said softly looking at the sky. "Now more than ever I wish we had help…"

"DID SOMEONE ASK FOR HELP?" A voice cried from behind.

"Yes…," Miroku replied turning.

A man that looked like he was in 40's stood by a store. He had white hair that looked like it was in an afro. He had his arms crossed around his chest and he was laughing. His pants were red and sparkled in the sun and his shirt was yellow. He had 2 reflectors on each shoulder that were spinning oddly.

"DEMON!" Miroku cried and started to run.

Sango grabbed Inuyasha and ran behind Miroku dragging Inuyasha on the sidewalk.

"Wait! Come back all I ever wanted was a little attention!" the man cried leaping on Inuyasha getting dragged along with him.

"LET GO YOU DEMON!" Sango cried.

"I'm no demon! I'm human! All I have is a 6th sense to see ghosts and sense where demons are, I was attracted to your friend here."

Sango and Miroku slowed to a stop and looked at the man. He stood up and gave them a thumbs-up sign with a smile.

"I seen what happened to your girlie friend there and I can help you out if you'd like."

"Really?" Miroku asked looking at him.

"Yeah, we can start right now."

Inuyasha lifted his head up scratches covering his face. He looked angry but nobody really cared. Inuyasha tried sniffing the air then fell over dizzy again.

"Inuyasha what's wrong now!" Sango demanded picking him up.

"W-Whenever I try to smell things clearly all I smell is that smoke…"

"That was affects of the demon, it's got to have something in the smoke that affects you most," the man said.

"What's your name anyway?" Miroku asked looking at him.

"Flash, with this stuff on you can obviously tell where I got the nickname from."

Miroku nodded and looked at the sky sighing. This was turning into an odd day. In just one day Kagome got kidnapped, they met a strange old man and Inuyasha had lost his demonic power of smell. That and in the world they were in now they couldn't even use their normal weapons…that is not until they got out of the city, which is exactly where they hoped the demon took Kagome.

"We have to get some stuff back at our house," Miroku said sighing to himself.

As the group walked back they grabbed everything they needed. Miroku got a different type of staff this time. This one had a blade on the end. He may have been a monk but he wasn't stupid enough to not have a weapon without his Wind Tunnel.

Sango grabbed Hirakotsu (did I spell that right) and 3 swords this time instead of one. She figured if Miroku lost that staff he'd at least have a sword to fight with afterwards. The only complicated thing would be fighting through an entire journey without her companion Kilala.

Flash didn't grab anything. He said he could fight them with his bare fists. Apparently he had no idea how dangerous this would be.

"This may have been a bad idea…," Sango said softly.

Inuyasha muttered darkly under his breath. "No really! I would never have guessed that."

"Don't take it out on us Inuyasha," Miroku said.

"I know it's not your fault but did we have to pick him? Of all people in this world did we have to pick him?"

"He's the only one we know that can sense demons and help us find Kagome. After all you're sense of smell is pretty much useless now."

Sighing Inuyasha hung his head.

Flash dropped to his knees raising his hands into the sky. "ONWARD TO A NEW ADVENTURE!"

This was looking hopeless already…
