Here's Chapter 3. This is when Inuyasha meets Miroku and Hatchi. Enjoy this chapter. Chapter 4 will be updated soon.
Inuyasha and his father, Inutiashou, were in the woods collecting fruit to eat and berries for Sesshomaru. He was still injured from his last fight. Inutiashou had enough berries for Sesshomaru. Inuyasha had only collected a couple pieces of fruit.
"Inuyasha stay here. I'll be right back. Don't wonder off," his father told him.
He went back to the village and Inuyasha sat under a tree and ate an apple he picked. Inuyasha was half done when he heard something bristling in the bushes. He stayed low. He put down his half eaten apple and gave charge at the figure in the bushes. It was Hatchi.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed.
Inuyasha just stared at the freaked out raccoon dog.
"HELP ME MIROKU!" he continued to scream.
Inuyasha started to sniff Hatchi when he suddenly flew back into a tree. Miroku stood in front of Hatchi and pointed his monk staff at Inuyasha.
"Get away from him!" yelled a voice.
Inuyasha and Miroku looked around. Inutiashou stepped in between them and knocked the monk staff away. Miroku backed away with Hatchi behind him.
"Please demon, don't hurt me," begged Hatchi.
"What are you doing on my territory?" demanded Inutiashou.
"I'm Miroku sire and I need to pass through," he said.
"Why did you attack my son?" he asked.
"He was hurting my friend Hatchi."
Inutiashou turned towards Inuyasha who had a look of innocence.
"Father I thought an evil demon was in the bushes," he said.
"As you can see sire, this is all a misunderstanding," said Miroku.
"I see," said Inutiashou.
He picked up the monk staff and gave it back to Miroku. He nodded and continued on his way with Hatchi.
"WAIT!" Inutiashou called out to them.
They stopped and looked back at him.
"Do you know what lands you're in?" he asked.
"No sire," replied Miroku.
"You are in the darkness of the woods. Demons come out and roam these woods at night."
Hatchi shuddered and Miroku gulped.
"Do you know where you're going to stay?" asked Inutiashou.
"No," replied Miroku.
"You can stay the night at my village if you want to," he said.
"Thank you sire, I'd be honored."
Inutiashou lead Miroku, Hatchi, and Inuyasha back to the village. When they reached the family home, Izayoi greeted Miroku and Hatchi. Inuyasha and the boys sat on soft cushions while Izayoi was making them dinner. She served them soup and tea.
"So you're Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.
"Yep. Sorry about that situation back there," he replied.
"Oh it's okay. Hatchi's all right aren't you?" he asked.
"Yes, you just scared me," he said.
Inuyasha just laughed.
"So where are you guys going?" he asked.
"I'm going to find my destiny," replied Miroku.
"Destiny?"
"Yeah and I'm looking for pretty girls."
"So far they turned you down," Hatchi butted in.
Miroku hit poor Hatchi on the head. He fell back holding his head.
"Ow! You hurt me!" he complained.
"Be quiet!" Miroku said harshly.
He let out a fake cough and continued conversation with Inuyasha.
"Anyways, I'm also going to find Naraku," he said.
"Why?" asked Inuyasha.
"He put a curse on my family and I'm going to kill him for it."
"I hope you realize that Naraku is evil with ultimate power."
"Yes I know. How bad can he be?"
"You better discuss some things with my dad before you continue your quest."
Inuyasha ran and got his father. He sat down in front of Miroku. He looked at his monk staff and then back at him.
"I hear you want to go after Naraku," he said.
"Yes. I plan to destroy him," said Miroku.
"Why do you want to go after something so dangerous?"
"He put a curse on my family. I'm I succeed in killing him, the curse will be lifted."
"Naraku isn't easy to kill."
"Why can't he die?"
"The jewel shard in his body keeps him alive."
"What's a jewel shard?"
"There are three round jewels called shards. The first shard is purple and it can grant your wishes, the second shard is blue. It has the power to save lives and the third shard is dark blood. Its power is evil. Anyone who obtains it cannot die. No matter how many times you get cut, your wounds will restore by this evil shard.
"So Naraku obtains the dark blood shard?"
"Yes and I have the blue shard."
"What about the purple shard?"
"I don't know where it is. It's somewhere in these lands. I just can't find it."
"What happens if Naraku gets a hold of it?"
"He will be unstoppable."
"Wow. Well if I find the purple shard, I will wish for pretty girls."
"Huh?"
"Never mind it's a long story. So what will you do with the blue shard?"
"I'm going to transform it into a sword."
"But what if Naraku gets a hold of it?"
"I won't let him."
"Let me ask you something. Have you tried to kill Naraku?"
"I've tried many times to kill him, but since he contains the Dark Blood shard he can't die. I may be strong, but I'm not stronger than the Dark Blood shard."
"My father told me that this Monk staff can help me defeat Naraku."
"If you know how to use it, you have a chance of defeating Naraku."
"Well I'm practicing."
Inutiashou watched the candle light flicker out leaving him in the shadows.
"You should get some sleep now," he said.
"Okay," Miroku replied.
Inutiashou left the room and Miroku layed down on his mat. Hatchi and Inuyasha were already asleep on their mats. Miroku closed his eyes and dozed off into slumber.
