InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Awakening: The Hanyou Dorobou ❯ The First Battle ( Prologue )

Prologue: The First Battle

"STOP IT!" Shizuka's screams rang through the forest. She could feel herself losing her powers as her sky-slue hair turned brown and her fangs disappeared. Dorobou ignored the little hanyou's cries. He smirked as his emerald green eyes ran down the body of the now human Shizuka. She's almost cute. And what power! They'll will definitely come in handy.

Shizuka stood up on with shaky knees. Standing at her full height of four-foot-six, she barely reached Dorobou's chest. Despite the look of fear on her face, she balled up her fist, and took a swing into Dorobou's chest. Dorobou didn't know whether to laugh at the girl's pitiful efforts or be annoyed at the fact that her dirty hands had smudged the front of his clothes. Shizuka took another swing. Dorobou grabbed her arm. Shizuka cried out in pain as the black fire from Dorobou's hand consumed her arm. The cries soon stopped.

Dorobou leaped into the sky, satisfied. He had taken out six hanyou in the past three days. Being a hanyou himself, Dorobou was able to make his own fire powers stronger by stealing the powers of other hanyou. However, the powers only lasted for no more than three days. But he discovered that there was a way to keep the power for good. He had run into several hanyou who were looking for some strange object named the Shikon no Tama. With the power of this jewel, not only would he gain to powers of other hanyou, but full youkai as well.

Dorobou had forced the hanyou Mizutori to tell him about the Shikon no Tama. He'd absorbed the information Mizutori gave him about the miko who carried the jewel. As a thank you, Dorobou proceeded to steal the powers of Mizutori and used Mizutori's own weapon, the taifu no oogama* to decapitate him.

Dorobou landed in a clearing next to a creek. He could smell another hanyou close by. Sure enough, a white-haired hanyou came into view. The hanyou suddenly looked around. Dorobou slipped behind a tree. Dog. He wouldn't be able to do much for me. He's weak. I would love to have this hair thouhg. My color doesn't go well with my eyes. Dorobou grabbed at his purple ponytail.

Dorobou was ready to attack. Suddenly, a woman donning a miko's robes appeared. She called out to the dog-eared hanyou, who only growled back at her. Dorobou watched the scene carefully. Then he sensed it.

She's the one! She's got the jewel. Without another thought, Dorobou shot out from behind the tree.

"TAIFU NO OOGAMA!!!" A scythe made of water formed in Dorobou's hand. The hanyou shoved the miko out of the scythe's reach.

"Inuyasha!" the miko screamed.

The scythe sliced across the hanyou's clothes, narrowly missing his torso. Confused and pissed off at the abrupt attack, he yells, "SANKON TET'SOU!!!"

"Shit," Dorobou winced at the searing pain shot his left arm. He's a lot stronger than I thought. Looks like I'm gonna have some fun today!

"SEK-" Dorobou was stopped short when an arrow pieced his neck. The force of arrow pushed him backwards. His foot slipped. The hanyou and the miko watched as Dorobou fell into the water. Dorobou cursed them as the water and the arrow finally overtook him, pulling him away.
