InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Heaven Meets Hell: Destruction ❯ Chapter one: What happened? ( Chapter 1 )

 

Ruins. That is what the city looked like. Even all over the planet: Towers, buildings, streets lay broken and crumbled. A slight breeze passed by catching and blowing old papers into the wind. Not a sound was made. No living soul could have survived a massacre like this. Anyone living, surviving this is sure to think this a as nightmare. What is it good to be alive if you're alone or may starve from hunger? What is the point of living?

 

Imagine this as a movie with the scene unfolding before you against the screen: sidewalks and streets cracked, fitted to point higher than the other; cars or trucks smashed into buildings, streets, even crushed under the impact by the force of the blast; bodies littered across the long narrow streets, some beheaded while other parts of the body strewn about barely recognizable while the stench of death permeated the air.

 

No birds chirped, not even the sounds of dogs barking. Not a living breathing soul has yet to pop up. Dark gray clouds loomed over the horizon. This was a sad day for Earth indeed.

“Hold on...hold on...Kagome...hold on...'”A faint voice called from the shadows of the crumbled mass.

 

Bump...bump...bump...bump...

 

The pavement and dirt shattered falling about. One lone figure tried digging his way out, holding something or someone value to his heart, close to him.

 

Inuyasha panted, holding close a pale, bleeding Kagome. He was no better, covered in dirt and grim. But he seemed to be alright. "Shit Kagome...." He held her close taking a gulp of fresh air. He growled, holding her close as he leaped out of their once presentment.

 

"Kagome..." He whispered, kneeling down on what seemed to have been grass once. He settled her on his lap checking for any signs of life. "Kagome don't you fucking die on me!!!" He yelled at her pale cold face. He checked her pulse point, and sighed with relief. 'She's alive....but barely.'

 

Inuyasha growled softly, cradling her to him as he looked upon her bruised, bleeding head. He had to get her to a doctor or a healer and fast. Inuyasha inhaled deeply, and with a shake of his head he snapped out of it. Standing quickly, he lifted her in his arms and took flight. He took off toward east where he knew one person that could help her.

 

As Inuyasha held Kagome close, his mind swayed to other thoughts. 'She's losing too much blood...' He thought with a grimace. 'This is all my fault.' He glanced down at his mate's sleeping face. 'I'm sorry Kagome....shit I'm sorry. I should have been there with you. I shouldn't have fucking left you alone!' His eyes glazed over a bit as he could remember the haunted look in Kagome's eyes, the dawning look in her eyes when she realized she's going to die. 'Over my fucking dead body!!!!' His mind roared. He blinked realizing that he was growling and shook his head clearing such thoughts. 'I'll never forget this. I'll never forget the look in her eyes. Never. I fucking swear Naraku you will pay.' He thought with vengeance as he leapt passed another fallen building.

 

He looked straight ahead, glancing at the settling sun. 'There is only one person that can help you Kagome.' His eyes narrowed into silts. 'And she better damn know what the hell to do.' He cut his train of thoughts off and paid attention on where he is going, moving faster with an extra boost of energy.

 

'Hang on Kagome...'

 

Some place off far away stood a cottage. It looked homely, yet soft and welcome. Fields long and freshly green sprang out across the lands. Grayish smoke steamed out of the chimney. The smell of something delicious was cooking. Outside knelt an old woman working on her garden. Now you may suppose that she was an ordinary elder but no, she was quite a character indeed. Her name was Mai. Long black hair worked into a bun, with bits of white for her aging. She wasn't heavy, nor was she fat. She was in per say in good shape for her age.

 

She wasn't human, that was for sure. She was a hanyou like most others. Her father was a demon but a kind and gentle one. Her mother was a miko. With a kind heart she fell in love with her father, and he her. Mai was part dragon, part miko. She has spiritual powers as well as the strength and wisdom to fight back. She never fooled around when things were serious. Mai never fought unless needed be. She had been around for so long she didn't look any older than her mid 50's but she was quite a century's year old.

 

Mai being a miko had to have someone carry on her duties when she died so she took in a girl named Kaede. She was a strong willed and good at heart. After losing her sister, Kaede took it upon herself to learn the different ways to becoming a miko. She was only 10 years old but had been learning quite quickly. Mai at first was warily of having another living with her, but she didn't have the heart to turn her away when she was in need of guidance.

 

Mai sighed wiping her brow of sweat. As she paused in her work of picking herbs she looked up to the sky. Her normal eyes silted a bit into a narrow faze. She inhaled and exhaled slowly. 'Something's wrong, I can feel it. There's great evil afoot. What mess has ye brought thy self Inuyasha?' She shook her head and pulled out more herbs to set in her basket. Mai knew Inuyasha since he was a little boy. His mother used to bring him to her everyday for visits. Mai and Inuyasha's mother were always good friends on some pointed level. But after his mother's death the visits became less and less until he didn't come at all. Mai understood of course. After losing his mother Inuyasha just closed himself up. He didn't have the love and care like he once did when his mother was around. What with his father being distant; besides the point of he being the devil; his half-brother so cold to him. She knew of Sesshomaru. He too became bitter and cold when he heard of his father marrying anew and with an angel no less. Being the first born, Sesshomaru never took the time getting to know Inuyasha, nor welcoming him. Mai snapped out of her thoughts and rolled her green eyes to the window of the cottage. "Kaede-San! That food best not be burning child." She heard a crash, and sighed. 'That girl will be the death of me.'

 

"No worries mai-chan!!! I got it under control!!"

 

'That is what I'm afraid of.' She winced at hearing another crash and shook her head. She stood on wobbly legs, she winced a bit as her legs creaked. 'I am getting to old for this.' "What are you doing child?!?" She growled softly in her throat, coughing a bit as she wiped her pants. When she received no answer, she was about to open her mouth when she felt something coming. And it was coming fast.

 

She ducked her head in time from a large object leaping over her head. Inuyasha turned, shedding to a stop. Inuyasha panted, holding close a bundle in his arms. Mai nearly winced at how Inuyasha looked. He looked exhausted, miserable...and afraid? She blinked, taking a step forward. "Inuyasha? What brings ye here?" He snorted, holding Kagome closer in his arms. When she got no answer, she tried again. "What do..." She stopped at the deadly look he gave her. Inuyasha took a deep breath and walked forward. He stopped inches away from Mai, and with gentle care Inuyasha showed her what was in his arms.

 

Mai's eyes grew possibly even bigger, for she knew right away who this being was. Kagome, Daughter of God, and Princess of Heaven. But why did Inuyasha have her? At her questioning look Inuyasha's eyes harden a bit. "My mate." He simply said making Mai's eyes grow bigger if possible. She took a clamming breath. "She needs help baba! Can you help her?!" He snarled at her, desperation entering his tone. Mai nodded, and quickly motioned him inside. She pushed back the mat, allowing Inuyasha entry. Kaede looked on in shock as things were cleared in the living room; Mai working about. "Kaede!" She jumped in surprise, looking at Mai. "Hurry child! Bring me more blankets, and every medical supply we have. Quickly!" Kaede nodded, and rushed off to get the said items. Kaede came back quickly with blankets, and helped Mai lay them down onto the floor. Mai wanted to look at the wounds on Kagome, to know how serious they were. From just looking at the wound on the girl's head she would be surprised if she even survived. "Inuyasha lay her down." He looked hesitant, but did as told. He sat next to his mate, refusing to leave no matter how much Mai told him to wait outside. Mai quickly uncovered Kagome. She had to work quickly, now. "Inuyasha I warn ye this will not be pretty." At his stubborn glare Mai decided to not speak another word unless it was necessary. Kaede arrived back with boiled water and the items she wished for. She nodded her thanks, and pulled up her sleeves. She sighed once more. 'I hope I can save her. For Inuyasha's sake if nothing more.' With that last thought in mind she went to work trying to save the girl from death that was ready to take her life.

 

Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore. He was the son of the great devil himself. He was use to seeing blood, death, all of it. But today....At the sight of his mate's blood he nearly lost it. He couldn't take the fact that he failed her. In so many possible ways he had failed her. Failed to protect her, sheltered her from the outside world. But that was the thing wasn't it? You can't always keep the one's you love protected forever. So he left the hut, trusting Mai with her skill's as a healer to save his mate. If she could not he'd take his life and go with her. Naraku be damned, and to hell with everyone else. Inuyasha stood outside not too far away. He shut his eyes. 'No...That's the thing. If Kagome dies she'll want me to live. If not for me then for her. She wants me to be happy. But how can I without her at my side?' He nearly laughed. He had grown too soft. It was all Kagome's doing. He guessed he should thank her for it. Sometimes he wished he never met her....He froze in his place.

 

'No. I don't mean that...'He thought solemnly as he walked to the fields. He could never regret ever meeting Kagome; falling in love with her. But why did it have to hurt so much? He sat down, shutting his eyes tightly. The day's event's played over and over in his head.

 

**Flash Back**

 

"Inuyasha...." Every ones heads snapped toward the voice. Kagome's eyes fluttered open. She swallowed in fear, finding her eyes meeting Naraku's blood red ones. "Kagome!!!!" She flashed her eyes toward her mate's call. "Inuyasha!!!" She screamed in pain when Naraku slapped her.

"Don't touch her!!!!You bastard!!!" Inuyasha struggled, feeling like he was losing his strength. Why could he not break out of these chains? Two tears fell down Kagome's cheeks. She gave her mate a sad weak smile. "I'm sorry Inuyasha...." He shook his head in denial. "No, no Kagome don't cry...I'll save you...I swear!!!" He looked at her desperately. "SILENCE!!! THIS DAY SHALL BRING FORTH WHAT I DESIRE!!!!!!!!!" In the same moment, the blade was brought down, and Inuyasha was released from his bonds, but it was too late.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"KAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGOOOOOMMMMEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!"

 

**End Of Flash Back.**

 

He slammed his fists into the dirt. He screamed in rage, ripping the grass apart with his bare dirty hands. He panted hard, leaning his head down, clenching his hands into tight fists. 'I couldn't save her.....' He howled in anger and despair into the miss match clumps of grass and dirt. No one would ever know the way he felt that day. Sitting there feeling useless and helpless as he watched his mate being murdered by the hands of that fowl demon. Or how everything seemed to fall apart all around him. 'Never again.' He swore. Never again would he ever feel that helpless.

 

He jumped in surprise at the feeling of a hand placed on his shoulder. He quickly turned around, claws raised ready to strike. "Inuyasha! No!" He paused in mid swipe, his claws just inches from Miroku's face. Inuyasha scowled, and pulled back his hand. "Serve's you right you moron! What were you thinking sneaking up on me like that?!" He snarled, crossing his arms as he flopped down on the grass. Miroku kept the look of calm or boredom even though he looked like he could have pissed himself. He wiped the dirt from his clothes he wore, and sat down across from Inuyasha. "My friend I called you a few times, but you seemed so beside yourself it's a wonder you haven't killed me." Inuyasha `feh'ed but Miroku kept from rolling his eyes. "Honestly Inuyasha what could have distracted you so much that you did not feel my presents?"

Inuyasha looked away, his eyes boring holes into the ground. He didn't have to say anything because Miroku could read him like a book. Miroku winced a little, remembering when entering the hut himself he saw so much blood, and when seeing Kagome laying helpless fighting for her life it made him sick. He didn't understand. It couldn't be that bad, only a head wound and hip wound. Nothing more. But that was the thing. They're dealing with Naraku so one wouldn't know what to expect, or what he could cause. After placing a sleeping Sango and Shippo near Mai he spoke with her. She told him so much, but not enough to satisfied his questions or his worries. Mai waved him away telling him she would look after his wife and friend. After nodding his thanks he went out in search for his disgruntled friend.

 

"What happened Miroku? How did you escape Naraku's hold on you? What about the others?" His questions snapped Miroku out of his thoughts before he sighed. "I don't know really. I remember not seeing, but hearing. Not hearing but seeing." "What the fuck are you talking about?!" "I was conscious in the domain Naraku trapped me in. What I mean is I could not see or hear anything but...its weird..." He paused, taking a deep breath. "I couldn't see what my eyes or ears could normally hear or see, but I knew where I was, which confuses me, but I understand. The next thing I know is that I'm out of my seal. I saw Sango lying there...."He clenched his hands, taking another deep breath. Inuyasha stared at his friend, waiting for him to continue. "Sango laid there unmoving...She was unconscious. I found Shippo not to far from her either. I carried them as far as I could until reaching the surface. I had to dig us out. I was not about to let my wife, Shippo, and I die in that place." He clenched his hands tightly to remain calm. "He took my child!!!! He took my unborn child away from me....." He held up a hand to stop Inuyasha from speaking. "Sango and Shippo are inside the hut." He pause briefly, his eyes reflecting sorrow. Inuyasha felt sorry for his friend. If it were his and Kagome's child he didn't know what he would do. Probably feel the way Miroku was feeling right now at this moment. He looked at Miroku to continue, for once listening to his friend. Miroku smiled sadly, his eyes glazing at the darkening sky. It seemed just right for his mood. Inuyasha noticed him touching his covered beaded hand. "Naraku left me a gift though." He reflexed his hand on habit."What did he do to you Miroku.....?" He whispered. Miroku slowly met his eyes. "He left me with a curse. My wind tunnel shall one day take my life if he is not killed." "We won't let that happen, Miroku!" Inuyasha snarled, getting to his feet. He glared down at his friend. "Naraku will pay Miroku. He won't take your life! I won't let him!" Miroku looked up to his friend in shock. Inuyasha placed his hand on his friend's shoulder. "We'll get Naraku back for everything he's done." He growled, releasing Miroku who finally stood.

 

"Oh Inuyasha I didn't know you cared!" He brought his friend into a hug.

 

BAM!!!

 

Miroku lay on the grass twitching. Inuyasha stood over him, eyebrow twitching. "Fucking idiot." He growled, his cheeks pinking. He stomped away to the hut, leaving a still twitching Miroku on the ground.
