InuYasha Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ Traveling through Time ❯ The Beginning ( Chapter 2 )

It was a beautiful day in Feudal Japan or at least somewhat beautiful. Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango were eating in a field near the village. Shippo and Kirara were helping Kaede pick some herbs in the garden near her hut. Kagome stood front of Inuyasha with her hands on her hips. “You're such a JERK!”

“What did you say!?” Inuyasha exclaimed as he came face to face with Kagome.

“I work hard to make lunch so it's not too hot for you and you don't even thank me. Then you insult my cooking!”

“You shouldn't have made it so spicy.” Inuyasha turned away from Kagome with his arms crossed.

“SIT!” Kagome screamed. Suddenly there was a great flash of light that blinded the four travelers and then everything went black.

“Kagome!” Inuyasha yelled as he tried to pick himself off the ground. As the light began to fade Inuyasha noticed that Kagome and Sango were nowhere to be found. Miroku was sitting next to Inuyasha rubbing his eyes trying to focus them to see where they were.

“Where is Sango and Kagome?”

“Like I'm suppose to know? But we better go look for them.” While Inuyasha and Miroku began to search the surrounding woods; Sango awoke to find herself in quite a predicament.

Why am I wet? Sango slowly opened her eyes to find herself completely submerged in water. I better find a way to the surface before I run out of air. Sango began to swim up when she ran into a hard rocky surface. Feeling her way around, she realized that she was in a cave. She couldn't see the exit of the cave; all she saw was never ending darkness. This is it I'm going to die here alone in this cave? Suddenly Sango felt a hand reach out and grab her. She looked up to see a shadow figure pulling her closer. Sango tried to get away but it was no use the figure was much stronger then her.

As she was being pulled closer to this shadowy figure Sango started to suffocate from the lack of oxygen until she felt a smooth metal mask cover her mouth and nose. Without even realizing it Sango began to breath; she touched the masked that covered her face and turned to see the shadowy figure start to pull her through the darkness. It seemed like eternity when Sango finally saw light. As she exited the cave Sango noticed the shadowy figure was a young girl wearing a type of red armor. How did she find me in that cave and why isn't she wearing a mask? The girl was definitely beautiful and seemed to dance in the water like a dolphin.

Surfacing Sango removed the masked that covered her face and turned to come face to face with her savior. The girl's eye glowed a sea green as her dark hair fell perfectly over her face. “Thank you.”

“No problem, I'm just glad I got to you in time.”

“How did you know that I was in the cave?”

“I saw the flash of light and decided to see what was going on. Oh, how rude of me let me introduce myself. My name is Guardian Moonstriker. Most people call me Moon for short.”

“I'm Sango. Umm… Moonstriker how were you able to hold your breath for so long?”

“Actually I can breathe underwater because I am a water warrior.” Moonstriker replied with a giggle.

“Water warrior?”

“You're obliviously not from around here. Being a water warrior means that I use the element of water to give me my strength and power.”

“Oh. Now that you mentioned it where exactly am I?” Sango asked scanning the scenery hoping to find something that looked familiar.

“You, my dear, are in the Immortal Realm. To be more specific, the Sea of Carone.” Moonstriker started to swim towards a near by shore.

Immortal Realm? I wonder if Kagome and the others are here too. Maybe Moonstriker will be able to help me find them. “Moonstriker?”

“Yes?”

“I don't know if my friends are here or not is there anyway you can help me find them?”

“Sure, but I will have to call for reinforcements.”

“Reinforcements?”

“Yes, other warriors that fight along side me. But they're not water warriors.” Moonstriker stood as they reached shore. “We'll find your friends in no time Sango, I promise.”

While Sango and Moonstriker sit upon the deserted beach; Kagome was having a small problem of her own.

 

After the flash of light faded Kagome found herself falling to the ground below. What's going on!? Is this the end of me? I never got the chance to tell Inuyasha how I felt. Tears seeped out of Kagome's eyes as she thought of her friends and family. She closed her eyes ready for impact when she suddenly felt someone grab her. Inuyasha?

Kagome looked up to mot see Inuyasha but a young man. As the young man landed on a near by ledge Kagome couldn't help but stare at him. “Are you alright?” the young man asked as he set Kagome down.

“Yes, thank you.” Who is he? He is quite handsome whoever he may be. Kagome found it extremely hard to look away from the young man's eyes. They were a dark green almost like the color of grass. “Who are you?”

“I'm Prince Pluto.”

A PRINCE. Why would a Prince save me?

“Well… do I get to know your name or should I just call you Hey You?”

“Oh, my name is Kagome.”

“Well Kagome could you explain to me why you were falling to your doom?”

“Honestly I don't know how it happened, but…” Kagome finally realized that she had forgotten about the others. “Oh no! What about Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku?”

“Who?” Pluto asked as he kneeled beside her.

“My friends. I have no idea where they are and they could be hurt.”

“Okay, first things first let's make sure you're okay and they we will go to find a friend of mine to help look for your friends.” Kagome nodded at Pluto knowing that he would leave otherwise. After making sure Kagome was okay Pluto picked Kagome up in his arms and jumped from the ledge. He land on his feet and carefully set Kagome down.

Wow, he is so handsome. Oh no am I become attracted to him? Near by Kagome saw a black horse that had a silver horn coming from its forehead. A unicorn? “Is that a unicorn?”

“Yeah, his name is Miracle he'll help us get where we need to go.” Pluto slipped onto Miracle's back and reached his hand out to Kagome.

“We're both riding him?”

“Well you could walk but that would be too dangerous.” Kagome took Pluto's hand and slipped behind him. “Hold on tight, we don't want you falling off.” Kagome wrapped her arms around Pluto's waist and rested her head on his back.

This feels good. I wonder if Inuyasha would ever decide to ride a horse like this? They traveled quickly through the woods and arrived to a long beach near a beautiful ocean. On the beach lied Sango and a young girl wearing a red armor. “Sango!”

“Kagome, thank goodness you're alright.” Sango quickly ran to her friend and hugged her.

“Well I guess you two know each other.” Pluto came walking up from behind Kagome with Miracle at his side. “Hello Moonstriker.”

“Hello cousin.”

“Cousin?” Kagome and Sango said in unison.

“Yes, cousin. Sango meet Prince Pluto.”

“Kagome, my cousin Guardian Moonstriker.”

“Pleasure to meet you. Sango have you seen Inuyasha or Miroku?”

“No. Moonstriker was going to help me look for them and you. At least till you showed up.”

“Pluto saved me I was falling and he caught me.”

“Well before we do anything we should probably have you tell us what happened before we found you.” said Moonstriker.

“Well Inuyasha and I were fighting. I told him to “sit” and then there was a bright flash of light.”

“It sounds like they fell into a portal on accident.” Pluto looked at Moonstriker and nodded in agreement.

“How did you find Sango anyway Moon?” Pluto asked looking at Sango's wet appearance.

“She was in one of the cave under the bay. I got to her just in time. Any longer and she would have lost all oxygen. Anyway we better find their friends just in case something bad has happened to them.”

I hope she's wrong. Kagome followed Moonstriker and Pluto back towards the woods. “Sango, do you think that Miroku and Inuyasha are hurt?”

“No, they can take care of themselves. And we'll find them soon, so don't worry about them Kagome.” The group walked through the woods for quite a while. “Can we stop for a second I need to rest for a little while?”

“Sure, then we can continue looking…” Moonstriker was quickly cut off by Inuyasha as he attacked her with his Tetsusaiga. “What the hell?” Moonstriker quickly drew the dagger that laid on her leg and it transformed into a beautiful crescent sword. The bracelet on her left arm also transformed into a shield with a sea dragon on it.

“Stay away fro her!” Inuyasha screamed as he lunged at Moonstriker. Moonstriker was faster then Inuyasha and was easily dodging his attacks. Her shield was powerful and knocked Inuyasha backwards every time his sword touched it.

“Inuyasha stop!” Kagome began to worry that something bad would happen and didn't want anything to happen to her new friends. Suddenly Miroku emerged from the woods and started to attack Pluto. Pluto drew his sword that rested on his hip. As the four warriors fought Sango and Kagome tried to figure out a way to stop Inuyasha's and Miroku's attacks. Eventually Miroku and Inuyasha grew tired and realized that their foes were barely sweating.

“You're gonna pay if Sango or Kagome are hurt!”

“Why would we hurt them?” Pluto asked as he returned his sword to its sheath.

“Inuyasha, they were helping us try and find you and Miroku.”

“Oh like I was suppose to know that.” Inuyasha replied as he returned Tetsusaiga to its sheath.

“You are such a jerk sometimes. You just attack with asking questions.”

“Look I was just trying to protect you.” The arguing continued between Inuyasha and Kagome for a while till Inuyasha felt someone push him from behind.

“Do you two always argue this much?” A voice asked. Inuyasha looked around but could see no one.

“Come on Star. You're confusing them.” Moonstriker looked towards a large rock. Slowly a young girl appeared on the rock. She looked identical to Moonstriker except that her eyes where blue and her hair was shorter. She wore a yellow armor and had a black cape the hung over her shoulders.

“You're no fun Moon. Anyways I could here them from miles away.”

“Very funny Star. Sango, Kagome, meet my sister Guardian Starfire.” Moonstriker gestured towards the warrior.

“Just call me Star. So what's all the commotion about?”

“Just some misunderstandings Star nothing more then that.” Pluto said looking at Starfire.

“I see. So now what?”

“Well we should take them back to valley, sis.”

“Well how about Pluto and I take them and you can go back to the bay.”

“Sounds good to me.” Pluto said reassuring Moonstriker.

“All right, but be careful.”

“Yes, mom. Let's get moving then.”

“Pluto can I walk with you?”

“Sure Kagome.”

Why is she walking with him? Inuyasha suddenly became irritated. What does she like him or something? Stupid girl. Inuyasha walked a head flashing an angry glare at Pluto.

Um… looks like someone is jealous of Pluto well I guess I better figure out why. Starfire thought to herself as a devilish grin appeared over her face.
