Chapter 1 The Beginning
"Wind Scar!" A boy with long, silver hair and a sword as large as he himself, could be seen fighting off dozens of demons. Each time he yelled "wind scar" a massive wave of yellow light erupted from his sword and destroyed anything in its path. "Hiraikotsu!" A young girl wearing black and pink armor and a enormous boomerang had been fighting alongside him. "Wind Tunnel!" Behind them, a monk with prayer beads wrapped around his right hand, unleashing a "black hole" in his palm once they were removed. These were the people that Kagome Higurashi had come to call her friends and companions.
After the battle, the group of warriors had headed back to a village where they were welcomed by a kindly old woman, an eyepatch over her right eye. This is the place that Kagome had learned to call her "home" when she took "trips" away from her real home.
-------------------------------------
"Well everyone, I'll be back in a couple of days! See you later!" Kagome bid her friends goodbye and jumped into the well that had become her passage between the present and the past. Once she hit the bottom, she immediatly began climbing back up.
"Mom, Sota, Grandpa, Im home!" She yelled once she reached the house. Sota, Kagomes little brother ran out with a look of distress on his face. "Kagome, you have to keep it down , Grandpas sick." He told her in a hushed tone. "What? Whats wrong with him!?" She asked frantically while trying to keep her voice at a whisper. "We think it might be that weird illness thats been spreading around lately." He told her, regretfully.
Without a word, Kagome ran into her house and to her grandfathers bedroom. "Father, you must lay down and sleep, if you dont, you're never going to get better!" Kagomes mother tried to keep the old man from getting up. "No...Im...Im fine...this is just...the work of an evil spirit, I just need to purify it...and I'll be...fine..." Just as he had finished struggling, he collapsed back onto his bed.
-----------------------------------
In another area of the city, a demon wearing a gas mask was sitting on a rooftop watching people collapse one by one. "Its almost done, a little bit more and almost all of them will be infected." The demon said. "Well I should probably make one more swoop before I head back." It then said as it spread four huge insect like wings.
"Now, dont want any of those pesky humans seeing me..." It then seemed to cloak itself with some type of energy and took off. "Now to make my last rounds." The demon then took off its gas mask, and an invisible, but deadly force was headed to the unsuspecting humans down below.
---------------------------------
In yet another area of the city, two boys were walking back from the drug store. One had black hair in a slicked back fashion and wore a green shirt with matching pants. The other was clad in light blue, he was taller and had red hair. "So, Kaykos fever still hasnt gone down huh?" The red haired boy asked. "Not yet but hopefully this medicine is gonna change that." The boy in green said as he lifted the bag he was holding.
--------------------------------
The two boys reached their destination and knocked on the door. It opened and a man wearing a cooking apron and a hat answered the door. "Oh, there you are Yusuke, Kaykos upstairs with her mother. Did they have the medicine?" He asked. "Yeah, its right here." Yusuke told him as he showed him the bag. "Good, go ahead upstairs." He let them in. They began to head up the stairs when the boy in blue stopped.
"Hey, whats wrong Kuwabara? You look like you just got hit with a baseball bat." Yusuke asked. "I dont know, something just feels really weird all of a sudden." He told him as his face was drained of all its color. "Well whatever it is, we'll just have to check it out after we give Kayko this medicine." Yusuke motioned for him to come on.
------------------------------
They entered the room where Kayko was bedridden. "Hey, Kayko, how're you feeling?" Yusuke asked as he walked over to her. "Oh, hi Yusuke. Im feeling a little bit better actually." She said weakly. "Well, we brought you this medicine that should make you feel a whole lot better." He took the bottle out of the bag and handed it to Kaykos mother.
"Hey Kuwabara why dont you-" Yusuke turned slowley and his face immediatly changed from a smile to a look of distress. His friend had fallen to his hands and knees, his face drenched in sweat and his breathing had become extremely heavy. "Kuwabara! Whats wrong!?" Yusuke yelled as he ran over to him. "Ura-Urameshi...I gotta get outta here, quick!" He managed to choke out.
"Alright, just hold on! Ill be back in a little while Kayko!" He said as he lifted Kuwabara over his shoulder and headed for the door.
--------------------------
"So what the hell was that about?" Yusuke asked as he and Kuwabara were standing outside. "I dont know, it seemed like that feeling I got before except alot stronger. And the weird thing is that, the closer I got the Kayko, the stronger the feeling. Im not sure, but whatever she has, I dont think its a normal cold." Kuwabara told him.
"So what? You're saying its some kinda spirit cold or something?" Yusuke asked. "Im not sure, but theres no doubt that its not something you could catch from a public bathroom." He told him. "Stupid! This is no time for jokes. I gotta call Koenma, and see what he thinks." Yusuke said as he took out a communication mirror. "No need for that Yusuke!" A familiar and bubbly voice said. "Botan?" Yusuke said as he turned to see the grim reaper standing behind him.
"Sorry to interupt but Koenma sent me to brief you on your next two cases." She told him. "What!? Two!? What do you mean two!?" Yusuke asked with fear at what the answer would be. "Thats right Yusuke, two new cases have shown up, weve been getting far too many latley. For some reason, demons have become restless lately and right now we dont have the luxury to wait for you to rest in between. In fact, your lucky because King Yama has taken pity on you and sent his spirit force on the other nine cases you would have had to take." She told him.
Yusukes jaw had dropped at the mention of the words "nine cases". "Jeez, you guys cant take care of anything by yourselves can you. Fine, whats the first one?" The detecive asked. "Well the first one actually has to do with Kaykos illness. Apparently its not just her but most of the upper parts of the city. Only a few cases have been reported down here and we think it may be the work of a demon." She told him. "Now you're going to have to head up towards the main area of the city and investigate." She continued.
------------------------
A few hours later, after her grandpa had fallen asleep Kagome, Sota and their mother began watching the news to see what was happening. "-and as hundreds are being reported to have contracted this strange virus, not even the cities top physicians know what to do." The news anchor reported. "Looks like whatever grandpa has is really spreading huh?" Kagome said. "I just hope they find a cure for it soon." She continued. Just then she lifted her head quickly as she felt something.
"Hm? What is it Kagome?" Her mother asked as her daughter stood up and started towards the door. "I think there may be a demon nearby." She said. "A demon! Oh boy! I hope Inuyasha shows up!" Sota said excitedly. "Sota! This is nothing to be excited about." Their mother scolded.
"Im going after it!" Kagome said as she grabbed her quiver. "Wait Kagome, maybe you should go get Inuyasha." Her mother pleaded. "Theres no time, if I go, then it'll get away. Dont worry, Ill be careful." She said boldly as she ran out the door.
------------------------
"Now where are you..." Kagome thought to herself as she ran in the direction of the demons aura. "There!" She saw the creaure in the distance and knocked an arrow into her bow. "Now...hit the mark!" She fired the arrow which quickly exploded with sacred energy.
----------------------
"That should just about do it, I suppose I should head back now-" The demon turned around just in time to see the arrow flying directly at him. "What!?" Was all he managed to say before the arrow hit one of his wings, ripping it to shreds. "Ahh! Damn it! Who the hell could have seen me while Im cloaking myself!?" The demon cursed as he looked around. Another arrow flew straight past him. "There you are." He flew almost directly above her. "Ah, I see, the Higurashi girl, I should have known you would be able to see me." He said as he landed in front of her.
"Your going to pay for this wing child, itll take a while for it to grow back." He said. Now Kagome could see the demon more clearly now that he wasnt so far away. Other than the large insect wings protruding from his back, he could most likely pass off as human. He was wearing a dark blue trench coat with nothing underneath as it was open exposing his chest and stomach. He also wore black army boots, blue cargo pants, and oddly enough, a gas mask.
"Who are you? How do you know who I am?" Kagome demanded as she held another arrow ready. "Hm, well you see im nothing more than an errand boy. But as for knowing who you are, my boss has had his eye on you for some time now. We know all about the well, that dog demon and your shikon jewel shards." He told her.
Kagome gasped and dropped her guard for a moment. However, this was all the time the demon needed to close the distance between them. He ripped the bow from her hands and grabbed her by the throat. "He's strong!" The priestess thought as she began to choke.
Just as she was about to black out, the demon dropped her. She landed on the ground and coughed a few times before catching her breath. Looking up, she saw that the demon had fallen to the ground, several feet away. "Y'know, it really pisses me off to see weaklings like you pick on humans just to make yourselves feel better." A boy in green said as he cracked his knuckles.
He then turned to another boy that was a fair distance behind him. "You okay back there Kuwabara?" He asked. "Yeah, but Botan was right, it really is alot worse here than downtown." The boy in blue said as he was leaning against a tree, breathing heavily. The demon then got up and cracked his neck. "Well boy, I'll give you one thing, that was quite a powerful punch to be able to break my neck. But I really dont have time to spend playing with you, so I'll have to bid you farewell for now!" The demon then lifted his mask quickly and exhaled a cloud of purple smoke.
"Urameshi! Dont breathe that stuff in! Thats the same stuff I sensed on Kayko!" Kuwabara yelled. Yusuke covered his mouth with his hand and held his breath. "Damn, I cant even see anything. I dont know how long I'll be able to hold my breath either..." Just as Yusuke finshed this thought, a glowing arrow flew through the smoke, causing it to dissipate almost immediatly.
Yusuke took his hand from his mouth and looked in the direction of the arrow. "Uh..." Was all he could get out before the demon began to fly away. "Oh no you dont! SPIRIT GUN!" He yelled as he pointed his right index finger at him. A small ball of blue light formed at the tip and then fired a large blast at the demon. "What!?" The demon yelled in surprise as the blast hit him full force and exploded.
All that could be seen was a limp body fall from the cloud of smoke that had formed from the explosion. "Now, lets call up Botan and have her bring him in." Yusuke said as he took out his communication mirror. "Wow, I didnt expect this mission to be so quick hehe." Kuwabara said in relief that they could leave the infected area. But just as Yusuke took out the mirror, it was quickly destoryed by a blast of electiricity.
"What the hell?" Yusuke looked back towards where the demon was and saw another demon lifting him up on his shoulder. "Hey! Who the hell are you?" The detective demanded. "Thats none of your concern boy, but now that you've interfered, you wont be alive for much longer. And dont think for a second that you'll take me by surprise like you did my partner. My leader and I have been watching you very carefully." The new demon told him. Like the other demon, this one was also human like in appearance. His hair was blonde and was slicked back, not unlike Yusukes. He also wore a black suit and pants along with black shoes. But also like the other demon, he had one trait that showed that he was clearly not human. Two large horns stuck out of his forehead, pointed straight upwards, each with electrical waves pulsing through them.
"Dont think you're getting away, we still gotta ask your buddy there how to cure this disease hes been spreading." Yusuke told him, still keeping his spirit gun charged. "Yusuke Urameshi, dont you dare think that you could ever defeat me. Like I told you, my leader and I have been watching you for quite some time. I know all about you and your team. All your ablities, strengths, weaknesses, connections, everything...Unfortunatly, I wont be able to fight you right now. Hopefully Ill be able to see you again before this world is demolished...hahahaha!" The demon said with a very slight british accent.
"Hey! What do you mean!?" Yusuke yelled as the demons horns began to glow. There was a blinding flash and once it subsided, both demons had vanished. "Damn it! I let them get away!" Yusuke cursed as he clenched his fists in anger. "Well, since we're here, we should start on that other mission that Botan told us about." Kuwabara said as he slowly made his way up to Yusuke. "Yeah, I guess you're right. But its really gonna be a pain in the ass to have to search this entire city for this "Kagome" chick."
"Um..." Kagome interuppted quietly. "My name is Kagome, is there something you need from me?" She asked the two boys. "Oh yeah, I forgot about you. Thanks for the help before, if you need anything then-...Wait a second! Your last name isnt Higurashi is it!?" Yusuke asked excitedly. "Um...Actually it is..." She told them, still confused about what was going on. "Well that saves us some time!" Kuwabara chimed in happily as the two of them, with matching grins, began to laugh with joy.
(ENDOFCHAPTER)
Tell me what you think. Not really my best work but...anyway, the next chapter will have to do with strange happenings in the feudal era. I would like to try to get at least three reviews before I go on.
