Disclaimer: Sorry I don't own Inuyasha I wish I did but I only have Lana.
Chapter 3- Getting Acquainted
The group began to walk to Kaede's village after the little scruffle between Sesshomaru and Lana. Inuyasha had to drag Miroku's unconscious body...he was apparently being a very bad boy. Kagome and Lana were a few feet behind them catching up with each other.
"So...what's up with you and dog boy here Kagome?" Lana asked her. She had been noticing the way Kagome had been watching him that there might be a stronger bond than friendship between these two. "What?! Nothing! Why would you ask me that...you just seen him today!" Kagome said a bit too nervous for Lana's well known knowledge on teenage crushes.
"Whoa. I didn't mean if you two were a couple, I was merely asking why you were hanging out with this demon." Lana laughed. "I was only worried about you safety, jeez, no need to have a cow!" 'It's obvious that she likes this dude, just leave it to me to give them the push they need' Lana smirked to herself.
Kagome sighed in relief, "Oh...well it's a long story, you see I...
~*~*~*~
By the time Kagome had finished telling Lana about how she ended up 500 years in the past of Feudal Japan, and met Inuyasha, they were at the village and were approaching Kaede's hut. Inuyasha had already brought Miroku insde.
There was one thing about Kagome's story that unnerved Lana though. 'Who the hell does this Kikyo person think she is using my cousin's face. If she's dead than how can she be what's keeping my cousin and dog boy from hooking up. Well she better not show up because I'm getting these two together no matter what. Ex-girlfriend or not.'
As Lana stepped inside the hut, she saw the one she knew as Inuyasha leaned up against a wall, a small boy with a fluffy tail next to him, an old woman, a young girl, and a weird, but adorable looking cat.
The old woman sighed, "Poor Miroku, ye never learns."
The young girl shook her head in disgust, "It appears that he has asked yet another girl to bare his child."
"Hey guys!" said Kagome. " Meet my cousin Lana."
"Hi," Lana laughed with her arm behind her head, "I'm afraid that I'm the one who knocked your friend out, sorry 'bout that"
"It's no big deal, he always ends up like this." said the little boy. "Hi I'm Shippo, and those are Kilala, Sango, Kaede and...that stupid mutt over there is Inuyasha."
BAM!
"Oww! That hurt!"
"I am not stupid!", Inuyasha yelled as he took his foot off of Shippo.
"It's nice to meet you all...but who's that?", Lana asked pointing to the unconscious boy.
"Oh that's Miroku, a.k.a. lecherous monk.", Kagome joked.
Right then Miroku began to stir, "I resent that reference."
Everyone laughed. Lana took a seat next to Kagome. "So who was that guy I beat up and what's his deal anyway?"
"Oh, that was Sesshomaru, he always pays us a visit now and then...", explained Miroku.
"You see he's Inuyasha's brother...", Kagome started.
"Half brother!", Inuyasha corrected.
"Whatever, any way, their father gave them both swords but Sesshomaru want Inuyasha's because he can't use his own."
"Wait one moment,...did ye just say ye defeated the great demon Lord Sesshomaru?", Kaede asked in both disbelief and amazement.
"Yes...", Lana answered.
All was silent. Then they all began to laugh their asses off. "But ye are human." Kaede said still in shock. "Yeah,...well...about that. I'm three-quarter demon and a quarter miko."
"That's amazing!", shouted Shippo.
"Yes indeed, I've never heard of such and I'm a demon exterminator.", said Sango.
Lana spent the last hour explaining her heritage to her new friends. She told them how her father was a full fledged demon and her mother was a half demon, half miko.
"Well I don't see a problem. You beat my brother's ass and that's all you need to gain my respect.", Inuyasha stated. He looked over to Kagome who gave him a smile to show him that she was clearly impressed at the mature remark that he said. "You can stay for as long as you like."
"Thanks. I think I kind of like it here. It's not like I have school or anything since I graduated last week." Lana happily stated.
"Oh my gosh! School! I almost forgot I have a final tomorrow!", Kagome screamed. She grabbed her stuff and ran out of the hut towards the well. Inuyasha ran after her. They could be heard outside.
"Get back here wench!"
"SIT!"
"Argh!"
"Those two must really like each other.", Lana smiled.
Miroku merely sighed. "You have no idea."
~*~*~*~
About two months later...
~*~*~*~
"Wow Lana, you've been a big a big help in our search for the jewel shards!", Shippo said as he jumped on her shoulder.
"Yeah, Inuyasha doesn't need the Tetusiega anymore, not when we can rely on your demon strength.", Miroku teased the hanyou with a smirk.
"Feh." But inside, Inuyasha smiled. Lana had been a help not only with fighting demons. The two months that had passed had been Kagome's summer vacation. With her no longer needing to leave for school, they both had time to grow closer together. Inuyasha had been receiving advice from Lana on how to be 'nice' and 'gentle' to Kagome. Just two weeks ago he had told her that he loved her and they kissed for the very first time. So Inuyasha has been a bit patient with everyone due to the fact that he felt that he was in fucking heaven.
"I love to be able to be in my demon form and kick ass like this!", Lana shouted in joy. She was now in her demon form and wore a black tank top with black low waist shorts and black Jordan sneakers.(A/N: do I need to disclaim this too?)
"Yeah, well wait until you fight Naraku, then you'll really be exhausted.", Shippo joked.
"I've heard so much about this Naraku guy! I'm getting bored with just hearing about him. He probably heard of me by now so why does he wait to strike? Maybe the wimp is just scared.", Lana laughed.
"Ku,ku,ku...not scared,...just waiting for the perfect time to attack." said a very mysterious voice.
Everyone tensed up. Inuyasha jumped protectively in front of Kagome. The others stood on gaurd. "Who the hell is that!", Lana asked anxiously.
"It's Naraku!"
"Yes and I've brought you all a small present since your new addition is so anxious to test what I can do."
The trees began to rustle and the ground began to shake. Suddenly a youkai appeared form out of the ground. "It's an earth demon!", Sango warned.
"I'm known as Mariyama!", it growled. It raised its hand and slammed it down on the ground. The force shook the ground and created a huge crack in the ground. Lana grabbed Miroku and Sango while Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and Shippo. They jumped out of the way as the giant crack spread over to them.
"That's not all I can do weaklings!", the deamon yelled. Huge spikes grew out from its body and dispersed out in great numbers with great speed. One of them grazed Inuyasha's shoulder and sent him flying a few feet backwards into a tree.
"Argh!"
"Inuyasha!", Kagome shouted as she ran over to his aid.
"Kagome look out!", shouted Miroku as he tried to dodge the several spikes shooting out of the earth demon. Kagome gasped as she turned and saw a spike headed straight towards her. "Kagome!" Lana used her demon speed toget to her. She was able to push Kagome out the way but the spike had went through her left shoulder. Lana cried out in pain as she fell on Kagome.
"Lana you saved me...oh no your hurt!"
"Hey...it's no big...ehe...ughn!" Lana flinched.
"Kagome are you alright?", Inuyasha asked as he made his way over to them. "Yes I'm fine but Lana's hurt pretty bad." Inuyasha unsheathed the Tetusiega. "Don't worry this demon is toast!"
He ran towards the demon and dodged the onslaught of spikes that were aimed for him. He raised the Tetusiega and threw it straight at the demon's head. The demon shrieked as the Tetusiega ran through its head. It collasped onto the ground, however, the impact from when it hit the ground created a tremor that caused the earth to separate.
Everyone moved out of the way of the separated earth except Kagome and Lana who were nowhere to be found. There was a huge hole in the place they were just in. "Kagome!" Inuyasha ran over to the hole and looked down it. It appeared there was an underground water source below. As he looked further down he saw Lana holding onto a ledge with her wounded left arm and Kagome's hand in the other.
"Inuyasha, I'm going to throw Kagome up so be ready to catch her.", Lana called up. She was struggling to hold both of them up with her arm that was wounded. She was losing blood and strength in her arm. She could also feel the ledge giving way because it was weak from being damp.
"Okay, I'm ready!", Inuyasha called back.
Lana threw Kagome up with as much strength as possible. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and hugged her desperately. Suddenly, as Lana went to pull her own self up, the ledge gave way and she went with it. "No!", Kagome screamed as Inuyasha tried to hold her back. All they could do was watch her fall into the waters below. The rest of the group were in bad shape as well.
Kagome cried into Inuyasha's chest. "We have to find her Inuyasha, we just have to!" she and Sango were her best friends and she would do anything for them. "Don't worry Kagome, we will.." he said as he stroked her hair. Inuyasha had become good friends with Lana also. Shoot, it was because of her that he gained the courage and faith in himself to tell Kagome that he loved her. "We'll find her I promise...I owe her that much."
~*~*~*~*~
"La, la, la, la ,..."
"Rin, that is enough, now be silent."
"Yes Sesshomaru-sama!"
"It's about time.", whispered Jaken.
Sesshomaru had been searching for Inuyasha and his friends for two whole months. Everytime time he would get to where they were he would just miss them. He never had trouble running into them before. He held a piece of black cloth in his hand that he had found in the place he last smelled their scent. The cloth had that woman's scent as well as some of her blood on it.
'Will I ever see her again?' he thought to himself.
"Sesshomaru-sama...I'm thirsty...and so are AhUn.", said Rin.
"Very well then," he said. "I believe there is a river near by, I cant smell water and..."
His eyes grew wide. He smelled blood, a very familiar scent of it. He took the cloth in his hand and sniffed it. His theory had been correct. It was hers. Sesshomaru ran so fast in the direction of the scent that his three 'companions' didn't see where he went.
"No! Sesshomaru-sama left me here with this human gurl again!", cried Jaken.
~*~*~*~*~
When Sesshomaru got to the river, he didn't like what he found. Sure enough, the woman that he had been searching for all these weeks was there, but she was in bad shape. The top half of her body lay over a rock while the rest of her was still in the water. Her head was faced down and her hair was fanned out over the rock. The spike had been removed from her shoulder and lay beside her while her blood flowed into the river.
Sesshomaru bent down and turned her over. 'I hope she is alive.', he thought. He heard her breathe. He sighed in relief. He picked her up and returned to where he left his "companions". "Who is that Milord?", asked Jaken. Sesshomaru placed her on AhUn.
"Come Rin, come Jaken, we are returning back home immediately.", Seshomaru announced.
With that they took off on AhUn and headed towards the Western Lands.
