I'm watching Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind right now. It's really weird. But whatever. I'm sure it's good. I wonder what will happen?

But, I'm more curious of what will happen in this story. xD

A Change in Our Future

Chapter Six: InuYasha's Capture

I knelt there, fear pulsing throughout my entire body. I swallowed hard.

"I told you not to touch that collar. Now that you took it off, you must die," the Demon Hunter said, getting ready to pull the trigger on the gun.

I hardly remember what happened, but I heard the sound of the gun getting shot off. I expected to black out and feel pain, or at least die or something. Nothing ever came. I turned around to see InuYasha with his arm up. Somehow he had moved quickly enough to get in-between the gun and I and blocked the bullet.

"InuYasha..." I said, tears coming to my eyes.

InuYasha winced a little; his blood was seeping through the robe of the fire rat and dropping onto the ground.

Scattered whispers went around the students standing in the yard, whispers of 'the half demon protected her' and 'that demon blocked a bullet with his arm.'

InuYasha's smirk was still there, even though there was a continuous 'drip, drip' of blood. A small pool was forming next to InuYasha's bare feet. InuYasha didn't move at all, he didn't even move his arm down from the position he left it in from protecting me.

Suddenly the Demon Hunter took something out from his back pocket and hit InuYasha with it, and another collar appeared on InuYasha's neck.

"INUYASHA!" I shouted, standing up. I started to run over to him, but the woman Demon Hunter who was with them got behind me and restrained me.

The man who tried to shoot me took out his remote control and pressed the button, sending a shock throughout InuYasha's body.

"INUYASHA!" I shouted again, trying to get out of the woman's grasp.

The man pressed the button again, and again, and again.

"STOP IT! YOU'RE HURTING HIM!" I shouted, tears staining my eyes red. They couldn't get InuYasha. They just couldn't! He was too strong! But... the technology in my era was probably so much for him to take.

The Demon Hunter pressed the button once more and InuYasha fell to his knees. He walked over to my friend and punched him once, hard in the face. InuYasha was sent across the school yard and fell to the ground, too weak to get up.

"Half the demon, half the strength," the man said, smirking. He walked over to InuYasha and knelt down.

"You don't... know how... many times... I've heard... THAT!" InuYasha shouted as he sent a clawed hand up towards the Demon Hunter's neck. InuYasha's hand clamped around the Hunter's neck and he squeezed hard. Right away the man struggled for air. I gasped.

"INUYASHA! Stop it! It's not worth it! He's just a human!" I shouted at InuYasha, trying to make him stop. InuYasha frowned and he slowly let go.

I bit my lip and looked at them sadly. InuYasha dropped the man and he crumpled on the ground. He laid there, gasping for air, and he slowly got up and backed away. He started to laugh. "Foolish girl. You should have let him kill me. Then he may have had a chance to live!" he shouted. He pressed the button once more and InuYasha screamed out in pain. After it was over he fell to the ground, unconscious. That collar would have killed a human after only a few jolts from it. I could tell, if it had InuYasha knocked out.

"NO!" I shouted, trying to get out of the woman's grasp. The man and another Demon Hunter started to drag InuYasha to the truck and pulled him in. The woman restraining me threw me to the side and I fell to the ground as she ran over to the truck. I quickly got up and tried to run after them, but the truck slammed shut and sped off, leaving me standing in the exhaust when I reached where the truck was. I coughed a couple of times and I turned to look at people with bikes and other such stuff.

I ran over to Hojo and looked at him sadly. "Can I borrow your bike?" I shouted at him quickly. He nodded and I yanked it from him.

"Thanks!" I shouted as I started running with it. I hopped on and biked as fast as I could towards the truck that had taken InuYasha. With all these demonic auras it was hard to lock on InuYasha's, but I knew his so well that it didn't take too long.

Everything whizzed past as I went through the crowd. Though, I couldn't just keep going like this. I had to get directions. I slowed down and looked around to find someone who looked friendly.

"Excuse me, miss? Do you need some help?" asked a voice near me. I turned to see a middle-aged woman staring at me, smiling. I smiled slightly.

"Yeah, do you know where the Demon Hunter's main headquarters are?" I asked. The woman looked around a bit, a little bit intimidated by my question. She nodded.

"Yes, it's over there. Are you going to go get a slave?" she said, pointing in a certain direction. Well, yeah, I could tell it was in that direction, but I needed real directions.

I looked over where the woman pointed and asked, "Can you give me directions to it? I need to hurry."

She nodded. "Yes, just go about ten blocks straight, and then turn right until you see the building. It's a big blue building, with a huge sign saying that it's the Demon Hunter's headquarters. You'd think they'd keep themselves sorta quiet so stray demons don't attack them," the woman explained.

"Thank you!" I shouted as I started to bike towards the building. Maybe they want stray demons to know where they are. Maybe the Demon Hunters want them to know so they can trap more demons, I thought.

It seems like I've been running a lot lately. I'm sure my legs will get much stronger because of it. But that's irrelevant.

By now, I had only gone two blocks. I had eight more to go. Already my legs were getting tired, and they were sore from all of this running I was doing. I was breathing hard and sweat was starting to roll down my face and neck.

The bike ride to the Demon Hunter's headquarters gave me time to think. Though, most of my thoughts had something to do with InuYasha, or setting him free. I petaled harder, determined to help him.

InuYasha had saved me so many times in the past, but I hardly ever got to save him. Yes, I set him free from the Go-Shinboku, but that was about it, besides a few close calls. Otherwise, I hardly did anything. I know I'm strong, but I hardly ever get to prove myself.

By now there's only five more blocks. I made careful mark of each block that I passed to make sure I didn't turn too soon or to late. That would be both very embarrassing and unlucky.

Three more blocks, now. Unfortunately, the amount of people on the sidewalk and cars in the road is increasing... Not to mention that this bike is pretty uncomfortable. It has a really bad seat. I'm going to have to make sure to get my own bike next time... I wish I rode it to school today.

Two more blocks. Now I had to scream out in front of me to tell people to move out of the way. They probably thought I was a little trouble maker, but everyone either just moved or yelled at me. At least I was getting to where I was supposed to.

One more block. I saw my turn. I was almost ready to turn when I saw a police officer in front of me, holding out his hand. I pressed hard on the hand breaks and stopped right in front of him.

"Where are you going so fast, ma'am?" the officer asked.

Oh, man, I was in for it now. "I'm just trying to get to my mom's office, sir," I lied. First I was going really fast on a bike and then lying to a police officer? I'd be surprised if I didn't get a ticket or something.

"Where does she work?" he asked.

Crap. She doesn't work anywhere near here. She works on the shrine and at home. "She works at the Demon Hunter's headquarters," I lied again. I was such a bad liar.

He seemed to buy it, though. "I see. Why are you going there?" he asked.

I'm going to have a whole book of lies by the time he gets done with me. "Oh, I just have to bring her the dinner she made for herself in case she had to work overtime. She forgot it at home, and she gets in a very bad mood if she doesn't have her dinner. She is sort of a perfectionist. If she doesn't have everything just right, she'll get very angry."

The cop raised an eyebrow. "Can't she get something from the office? I'm sure they have vending machines," he said. Yes, it probably did, and there were tons of vending machines on the streets too. I smiled.

"She likes home made food. She can't stand vending machines," I lied again.

"May I see this dinner?" he asked.

My insides froze, but I kept smiling. I nodded and got my backpack off. I unzipped it and looked inside, searching for something that may help me. THANK YOU GOD! I forgot that I had lost my appetite for lunch today, thanks to the news of a test that was today and rumors of what the Demon Hunters do to the demons that they capture. I pulled out the small box that my mother made me for lunch.

"Here it is, officer. May I go now? My mother is sure to get angry if I don't hurry," I said, putting the untouched lunch back in by backpack and zipping it up.

The officer nodded and I waved goodbye. Once I rounded the corner and looked behind me a couple times, I started to speed up again. I hate to say it, but that was really annoying. I guess I can lie better, now... And I can lie better than my grandpa... Of course, anyone can lie better than him, with all the diseases he comes up with for me.

I looked around for the big blue building I was supposed to see, and sighed. This might take a while. There were lots of buildings here! And lots of them were blue! I guess I had to look for the giant sign.

I sped through the streets until I saw the biggest, bluest, and scariest modern building I had ever laid my eyes on. And not to mention the giant sign that said, "Demon Hunter Main Headquarters: Japan Branch."

I think I found the place.

Oh, man, I'm tired. I don't know why, but my eyes really hurt. I feel like playing Animal Crossing, too. I love video games. I really want Kingdom Hearts II, and I can't wait 'till May 15. That's when The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess comes out. But I really want Kingdom Hearts II. I just recently beat the first one. AGH!

Next Chapter: Now that Kagome's found the Demon Hunter's main headquarters, she needs to get inside and help InuYasha escape. How will she do that, though?
