Circumstance

by InuYasha's God sis

InuYasha finds himself in the Elemental Nations: aching, weak and alone. The sudden change to his appearance was a blaring warning that something annoyingly mystical occurred and InuYasha dared some kami to show up and task him with something. He was going to rip out their throat and gut them with it, if he didn't get killed fending off these crazy ninja first. (Varying drabbles)

Chapter 31:

Introductions

---

Uzumaki Kushina fought back a groan as she impatiently viewed the introductions.

Nine years passed since she visited the last tournament. The five year cycle was broken in the first war and the general with the mean eyebrows had postponed it for calmer times.

Now a woman in her own right, Kushina was excited to fight for herself.

The gasp of the crowd drew the red head's eyes towards the left most ring where a small boy in a bright red robe flipped off his haughty opponent.

Stunned, Kushina gaped before bursting out into laughter.

Who was this kid?

---

"InuYasha-sama."

Kushina wiped her eyes as she turned to the voice. "Eh?"

A girl no older than seven smiled at the boy as he danced around his opponent before embarrassingly ending the fight with a kick to the back of the head, not drawing his blade once. "That is InuYasha-sama. Oromori-san found him by the border and brought him home."

The girl's smile dimmed. "Although he does not think much of this place."

Kushina frowned ever so slightly, plum eyes watching the way the boy practically vibrated with anger. "Why is that?"

The child sighed, a sad, trembling thing. "He wants to go home."
