Ok. For those who've seen my other fics, this one will be odd. Cause I was thinking of reversing roles. =P I was wondering what would happen if KAGOME was the one that was a half-demon and then INUYASHA was the reincarnation of OKITOKI? XD Silly… But, it was bugging meee~ =( ==And I shall make Kagome a little taller and "Bigger" xD==
Reversed Tale:
Chapter Four: Awakenings and Introductions!
'People with good intentions make promises. But people with good character keep them.'
Kagome's ears perked up and she slowly opened her eyes with an evil smirk. "I can smell it. I can smell the man that killed me... He's coming closer..." She reached up to try to remove the arrow, but hissed at the spiritual power still emanating from it. 'Fucker.' She watched as a boy fell to the ground with a thud and a centipede demon flew just over his head. "What are you doing with that weak centipede opponent?" She taunted as the boy looked up with similar golden eyes and he also had dog ears on his head. 'How the hell? Whatever...'
"You... You are..."
"Just do her in like you did me, Okitoki. Just do one blow, that's all you need." She said with her smirk still on her face.
"Okitoki? Listen here, girl, my name's..."
"She's back, can't you smell her?" She said, looking up in annoyance as the centipede demon nearly got the boy, but villagers managed to distract her. "Really, Okitoki, I'm disappointed in you."
"That's it. My name isn't Okitoki, it's Inuyasha." The boy said.
"Fuck off, only one person can smell this disgusting..." She took a moment to realize he didn't smell of firewood, but rather pine and a hint of some other smell. "Okitoki... You're not him..."
"Finally got it, did ya? My name is Inuyasha!" He articulated his name as if trying to teach a toddler his name.
"Okitoki was more handsome and far more intelligent..." Kagome looked away, disappointed that this boy wasn't Okitoki. That was before the centipede demon came back and tried to lift the boy into the air, but he grabbed the part of her hair that was parted to the front.
"Let... Go... OF ME!"
"You let go of ME!" She mirrored as the centipede began growing more.
"This body is troublesome... I'll devour you whole... Shikon No Tama and all!" She snarled.
That made her look at the man in shock and confusion. 'The Shikon No Tama? How the fuck? This idiot?' She last saw the jewel on the ground before her sleep. 'How long have I been out!?' She watched as the boys sent a familiar light blue blast of spiritual energy from his hand, disintegrating the remaining arms from the demon. 'So, he has the powers of Okitoki... Interesting.' It was then that the demon bit into the boy-Inuyasha-'s side and flung him up into the air, a pink jewel appearing from the wound.
"Shikon No Tama!" A very old man cried.
"That's mine!" Kagome called, getting Inuyasha to stare at her. "Hand it over!" She had to mentally roll her eyes when the demon wrapped them to the tree.
"Hehehehe. I have heard that some hanyou wench, called Kagome, or whatever, is after the Sacred Jewel... Is that you?" Came the taunt.
"Congratulations, you used your brain... Do you want something?" Kagome said dryly. "Don't underestimate me, though, Mistress Centipede... When I fight seriously, I can make even a bitch like you small-fry."
"You sure talk big, but can you back it up?" Inuyasha asked. "Are you strong?"
"You can't move, can you? Your power is sealed, isn't it? Just stay there and watch the show..."
"Shiiiit!" She cried as the demon ate the jewel and transformed and tightened the hold. "Oi. Can you pull this arrow out?" Kagome watched out of her peripherals as he got so close before the old guy shouted.
"You must not pull it out! That arrow is Kagome's seal... She must not be freed!"
"Oi, jijii, are you wanting to be this thing's meal!? You know if she absorbs it completely, it's the end!" She then turned to the boy. "You, boy. You wanna die here with me?" Kagome gave a slight grin when the arrow vanished at the boy's touch and she gathered strength to break apart the body that was pinning them to the tree. She laughed and spun to land in front of Mistress Centipede.
"You wench..."
"Come and get it, witch!" She cracked her claws. "Crush Wrecker Soul Sniper!" She sliced right through the demon and landed gracefully on her feet. She mentally made a note to do some laps later to get kinks out, watching Inuyasha and the old man get the Jewel. "You got it. To a human, it's a useless thing... But, to us half-demons, it can be so much more... So unless you want me to scratch your back, I'd hand that over to me."
"Inuyasha... Never hand that over..." The old man said.
"If you think you can hold your own against a fellow half-demon, try. But I won't hold back... Especially when a man stinks like you!" She then attacked him, barely missing him, but creating a hole in the ground. "That got the rust out... Now, to slice you to ribbons!"
"You're really trying to kill me, aren't you?!" Inuyasha shouted, dodging a few more blows, before winding up against a tree and Kagome coming in with another attack. Beads suddenly appeared around her neck and she was utterly lost at where they came from before shaking her head.
"Now, Inuyasha, speak the subduing spell! Anything will quiet Kagome!"
"Me? Subdued? Are you nuts? That's not happening!" She said, twitching her ears and charging forward.
"S-SIT!" He said, the beads working and sending her slamming to the ground.
She lept back up and tried to get the beads off her. "The hell's this!? Get this damn thing off of me!"
"To struggle is useless, Kagome. As that rosary subdues your power." The old man explained.
"E-eh? Go stuff yourself, jijii!" She went towards the man.
"Inuyasha."
"Sit." He said, now amused at the way she landed on her face all the time as the old man took him to the village, Kagome apparently following afterwards. Inuyasha watched her lay on her side, facing away from them as the old man tended the wound.
"Tis unusual. The wound has healed itself..." The man said. "Though, thee shall need to keep this on it..." He placed some herbs on it. "However, it has become something of a problem... As the Shikon No Tama has resurfaced in this age..." He sighed a little. "Evil beings will come swarming after that."
"Ya mean like youkai?" Inuyasha asked, replacing his kisode and kimono.
"Not only youkai... But people with evil in their hearts as well." He looked to Inuyasha and explained further. "In this age of war, if they can get the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls and all of its spiritual power... They can then achieve all of their desires..."
Inuyasha then looked at the back of Kagome's back. "Why do you want the Jewel?" He got no response and decided to state the obvious. "You're strong... Even without this Jewel.."
"It's because, like you, she is only a hanyou..."
Kagome twitched and punched through the floor, glaring at the old man. "Jijii... You've been prattling on like that since earlier... How the fuck do you know me!?"
"You don't recognize me, do you? That's hardly surprising. I am the younger brother of Okitoki, the one who sealed you... I am Souta."
"Souta... Souta..."
"It's been fifty years since then... So, I have aged as well."
"Let's see... If you're that whiny brat... That must mean Okitoki's old as hell. Must suck to be a human..." Kagome chuckled and huffed.
"Okitoki-nii-san is dead... It was the same day that you were sealed.." Souta explained.
"Pfft. Good riddance... Bastard deserved it." She went back to her former position, clearly glad he was dead.
"Kagome... I believe it may be too early to celebrate..." He then looked at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, perhaps you are the reincarnation of Okitoki-nii-san... But how you look now does almost resemble him... May I look closer?"
"Uhh, sure?"
Souta peered before nodding. "You have almost identical eye shape and facial structure."
Kagome's ears twitched at that. 'Greaaaat. Bastard is back in some odd way... That's my fuckin lot in life.' She left and went to a tree to gather her thoughts. "That boy is... Okitoki?" She grumbled, her reflexes catching some sort of food before it hit her and made her turn with a growl, noticing the boy had a lot of food. "The hell's with all that food?"
"Offerings from the villagers... Come on, we can share some." He stated, seeing her not budge an inch before staying a distance away from him.
"What are ya fuckin plotting, ass?" She snarled.
"You don't like me, do ya?"
"You make me wanna puke."
"Now, listen you..." He growled. "I'm Inuyasha. I am not Okitoki." He pointed to emphasize his features. "Just calm the fuck down, alright?"
"You're an idiot... As if. I'll show no mercy when it comes to getting that fucking Jewel!" She said, standing up and glaring at him.
"Just remember, if you try anything, all I have to do is say 'Sit' and..." He heard a thump and saw she had been brought back to the ground like earlier. "Oops. I didn't mean that one!" He then left some food with her before heading towards Souta's hut to rest up.
Kagome pried herself from the ground and spat out some dirt. "That fuckin asshole... I need to fucking figure out how to get it without letting him know..." She decided to be outside and flicked a rock at a crow demon. "Huh... Crow demon..." She grumbled. 'It must've sensed the Jewel or caught a scent of it... That's a nasty thing to come now...' She decided to go to the roof of the hut and take a nap, keeping her ears and nose still tuned into her surroundings.
Tada! I did it! I have never been so glad to have the entire 'Inuyasha' manga before! Yay, past me!
