InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ bounty hunter ❯ apprentice ( Chapter 1 )

I’m gonna try to make this one better that the sorry excuse for a chapter I gave u last time wish me luck I don’t own inuyasha ___________________________________________________________________ ____ three years later… inuyasha trudged along a featureless and very depressing landscape parched and cracked earth as far as the eye can see the only thing interrupting the desolate valley is the occasionally round black mass of rubber that he heard from an old senile man was called a tire it purpose was to move these horseless carriages the old man called an auto mobile had no interest in the tale and only heard in by chance in a saloon inuyasha cursed him self for letting his thoughts wander and concentrated on the brown smudge on the horizon that was either a village or a oasis for weary peddlers inuyasha grinned as he thought of the refreshing cool liquid sliding down his parched throat that has only been filled with humid air for the past three days inuyasha had silver hair golden/amber eyes and triangular dog ears on top of his head he was wearing worn brown boots that have walked many miles and will last many more miles come , aged demin pants that have held together stubbornly despite the extreme conditions it has been forced to tolerate , a white or at least it used to be wife beater that was torn in many places and stained crimson in to many places unlike the stubborn demin pants the wife beater will be nothing more than a rag to wipe sweat of the owner’s brow before long under the wife beater are numerous scars that were neglected and now disfigure his torso (an- kind of like vash the stampede ) he also wore a weather beaten trench coat that was now open revealing two belts worn across his hips the left belt had a harness with a old but well maintained Winchester shotgun on his right side was an ancient revolver that was both obscenely large and heavy the handle was made of sandal wood and the word “tetsiaga” carved in gothic letters Inuyasha snapped out of a pleasant day dream about beautiful women serving him large amounts of ramen he had only been able to enjoy ramen twice in his life time he grinned remembering when he first time he discovered the mighty food source a generous peddler shared the great substance with him after finding him unconscious and starving on the desolate trail he snapped out of his day dream to find himself at the entrance of the village it was larger than inuyasha had expected and was very happy with its size he grinned he had no money to buy goods but with a town this large I could bust a few heads collect the bounties and be out of here by tomorrow night he entered the village square intent on finding a sheriff’s office when he finally came across it he entered the small cell/office and found a sleeping man with a crudely molded star on his chest instead of a gun he had a night stick at his waist inuyasha kicked the old desk and the officer awoke at once he became fully aware of what was happening he greeted inuyasha in a friendly voice “how ya doin buddy the weather is mighty fine this season aint it any who what will ya need” “any bounties?” inuyasha said in a blunt tone wanting to end the conversation quickly “fraid not only bounties up are the famous ones of course and in your line of work you know em all realy quiet couple of months” inuyasha nodded and left the small office he mumbled “why do the fucking criminals stay quiet when I need some damn money I’m cursed” inuyasha sat on a near by bench and peered into his travel bag that held ammunition , a accurate all-purpose knife food (at least there used to be) other camping equipment and a small leather sack that holds money he took the sack and noticed he had just enough to get him self some hard liquor “he said out loud to him self “it might not solve my problem but its always a great temporary solution” with that said he got up of the bench in search of a bar he came across a tavern named Marcy’s he walked in unnoticed by the drunken patrons he took a stool and sat down shoulders hunched for the first time in three days he remembered how hungry he was under his breath he said “I’m gonna starve to death but at least ill be hammered” he threw the meager amount of cash on the table and told the bartender to give him the strongest drink I could get with that the money was taken an in it’s place was a clear liquid that sure as hell wasn’t water inuyasha downed it and let he head fall and smack against the table sighed and thought to himself all that did was burn his throat I’m not gonna get a damned thing out of that he began to smack his head against the counter until the bartender said “get out I don’t want blood on my counter go kill your self somewhere else buddy” inuyasha got up and laughed at the bartenders comment and walked out inuyasha was now starving he had no money and he wasn’t wasted “can this day get any worse” he said waiting for the inconvenient thunder storm to begin of course no such thing happened inuyasha then proceeded to find a gutter to die in he found a pretty decent spot in between a pawn shop and a blacksmith building it had every thing a dead beat peasant could ask for old liquor bottle a fucked up trash can AND a fucking box “halleluiah I have been saved!” he shouted in a mock preachers voice as he proceeded to enter his five star gutter a voice that sounded like it belong to a thirteen year old boy shouted “hey you! wait” inuyasha turned around to see a boy with red hair pointed ears and a bushy tail his apparel consisted of blue demin shorts that ended about five inches below his knee his he wore worn sneakers that were ripping apart he had a vest made out of a burlap sack a crude knife and sheath was hung low from a belt much like inuyasha held his guns the boy now caught up to inuyasha and asked him “are you a bounty hunter?” inuyasha saw the boy staring at his guns “yes I am” even though he was sure the boy already knew the boy continued his questions “are u for hire?” inuyasha replied with “how much you payin and who I gotta find there is also the dead or alive option I got alot consider so start talkin” the boy began with out hesitation “ his name are hiten his alias is the thunder god he uses a extending lance that sends blue lightning every where he was last rumored to be hidden it the capital of the north I want him dead and I’m paying 500 caps you will get 250 now 250 later I will also let you stay for the night and I will give you three quarters of my food” the boy said the last part in an almost desperate fashion inuyasha was shock by all the information he had on the man hiten but what he was offering was the problem “what’s your name and why do you want him dead?” inuyasha questioned “my name is shippo 3 years ago hiten attacked the village he took every thing of value that he and his crew can carry my father and mother stood up against him he slain them easily and took there bodies soon after that they left then the village got really big on stopping crime they organized a militia the fucking end now will you do it or not?” shippo was in tears inuyasha then made a decision “sorry I would do it but what you are offering isn’t enough” shippo then was about to say something when inuyasha interrupted “this is what I will do u pay me what you promised and I will take you with me when I leave town if we cross paths with hiten I’ll kill him or better yet you will kill him” shippo liked the idea of killing the man but then ask inuyasha “how will I kill him ?” inuyasha replied in a casually tone “with a gun” shippo was about to state the obvious when inuyasha cut in “ I’m taking you in as an apprentice you idiot don’t worry I can get you a gun” “why me” shippo asked still shocked over what inuyasha said inuyasha replying in the same casually tone “ why not first of your gonna give me money two you got to have some quick hands to live this long without parents admit it u stole the money and food you are offering and three I kind of got the same problem as you do we are one a quest for vengeance!” inuyasha said the last part in a corny heroic voice shippo laughed despite the serious situation now lets go I’m starving his stomach growling to emphasize the point shippo laughed again and lead him to his hut The hut was solid one room with a fire pit in the middle they both sat near the fire eating a meat that the butcher was hesitant to specify “I’m telling you this is rat meat” inuyasha argued while shippo replied “no way this is dog!” inuyasha growled and glared at shippo while his ears twitched shippo then realized what he said and gave him a sheepish grin in lighting speed inuyasha had shippo in a head lock all while yelling “stupid runt ill show you!” there was a puff of blue smoke and shippo shrank to the height of a foot and a half at the most he feet now fox paws ( an- I figured you readers who like shippo on the small side would appreciate this) with his smaller body and head he slipped from inuyasha’s grip and got well out of his reach a puff of blue smoke enveloped him and he was once again the size of an average thirteen year old boy inuyasha now forgetting the argument said with awe “nice trick” “I’m a fox demon I’m the master of illusion” he stated sticking his chest out proudly “hey master of illusion your left foot” Inuyasha said in a sarcastic tone shippo looked down to see his left foot still in the form of a fox paw he gave another sheepish grin and a blue puff of smoke enveloped his left leg and turned back to normal “I’m still working on it” they finished there meal witch remained unspecified now they were simply resting by the fire” were going east tomorrow morning to pick up your weapon “ inuyasha stated “without a gun you obviously can’t practice and mine are to heavy you the recoil will break you arm on the way ill start with camping teach you how to clean an animal start a fire treat a wound you know like the old man said boy scout crap inuyasha finished “what’s a boy scout?” shippo asked curiously “the old man told me they were a club based on nature and stuff” inuyasha explained to the best of his ability “who’s the old man?” shippo asked “don’t worry you will meet him soon go to bed we got a lot of walking to do
