InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inuyasha Fan Fic ❯ Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: I hate these things… but no, you people insist on me proving that I don’t own Inuyasha when we all know that I don’t… the creator of Inuyasha wouldn’t waste her time posting fan fics anyway, so…. Have fun….



Walking through the snowy forest, was Sesshomaru, the son of the great demon Inu-Taisho(name?). Trailing behind him was his servent Jakken, and the human girl, Rin, who was leaping joyfully from footprint to footprint left behind from Sesshomaru. the forest was deathly silent, except for the soft footfalls of the three. His long silver hair blew gently behind him in the cold wind. Sesshomaru stopped suddenly. Jakken stopped as well. Rin kept hopping until she came to Sesshomaru. Then she looked up at him, concerned. Jakken looked up at Sesshomaru questioningly "L-Lord Sesshomaru?" They were standing in the clearing of the Bone-Eater's Well.
Sesshomaru was silent. He looked around for several minutes before finally saying. "I sense Inuyasha near."
Jakken gripped the Staff of Heads nervously "Are we going to try for the Tetsusaiga again Lord Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru shook his head, "No Jakken. We will avoid him as best we can now. Follow me." He changed diection and headed west instead of north. Rin looked confused "Lord Sesshomaru, are you giving up?" Jakken turned on Rin, yelling angrily "You silly girl! Of course Lord Sesshomaru isn't- eh..." Sesshomaru silenced Jakken with a glance "No Rin, I'm not giving up. Now is not the time to attack." Rin smiled and nodded. Sesshomaru drew Tokijin, his sword. "Damn, a fight with Inuyasha is inevitable, he's coming." He looked around, sniffing the air. "He's right by us. Jakken, give me the shard we found and, then take Rin and leave." Rin pouted slightly "But Lord Sesshomaru...." Jakken grabbed her arm and dragged her behind a tree "Don't argue with Lord Sesshomaru." He came back to Sesshormaru and pulled a shard of the Shikon jewel from... somewhere. Sesshomaru took the shard just as Inuyasha came running up. Inuyasha stopped abrubtly as soon as he saw Sesshomaru. He looked behind him and called something. Then he turned back to Sesshomaru, a hand on the hilt of the Tetsusaiga. "You. I thought I smelled yo-" then he saw the Shikon shard Sesshomaru was holding. He unsheathed it and it transformed ito its true form. "You know you're gonna hand that over right?"
Sesshomaru chuckled. "I don't think so. You'll have to take it from me by force." Then he embedded it into his right arm, he'd attached a dragon's arm to it. He tossed Tokijin to his right hand and brought it to bear. "You might as well give up Inuyasha."
Inuyasha smirked "Feh, you'll never learn will you? You''ll never beat me. Not as long as I have the Tetsusaiga"
Sesshomaru didn't reply but charged straight for Inuyasha, bringing Tokijin down upon the Tetsusaiga. Sparks flew as the steel clashed again and again. The battle was going nowhere. The two combabtants were evenly matched. "Feel my posion talons!" Sesshomaru cried as he slashed at Inuyasha with his left hand. Inuyasha jumped back to dodge it. Sesshomaru held up Tokijin. "DRAGON STRIKE!" Blue lightning flashed around him. Inuyasha chuckled "Childs play. BACKLASH WAVE!" The backlash wave hit the dragon strike and forced it back at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru grunted as he flew back and hit a tree. Sesshomaru slumped to his knees, defeated. But Inuyasha wasn't done yet. "Time to finish this." He raised the Tetsusaiga over his head. Rin gasped "Lord Sesshomaru!"
"WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha flashed his sword down and the wind scar erupted from it and shot toward Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru dropped his head, he knew he wouldn't be able to dodge it if he tried. "LORD SESSHOMARU!" Rin cried out. She leaped in front of the wind scar.
"RIN, NO!"
Rin screamed as the wind scar hit her. Inuyasha's eyes widened and he dropped the Tetsusaiga. As it left his hands, it transformed back into a rusty old sword. When the light cleared, all that was left was the kimono she was wearing and a deep blackened hole in the ground.
"I-I didn't mean..."
Kagome ran up "I heard a scream what's ... then her eyes rested on the kimono in front of Sesshomaru. She looked at Inuyasha's face. He was horrified. "What's going on?"
Jakken ran out from behind the tree "Milord, I tried to stop her."
Sesshomaru froze as he stared at the spot where Rin had leaped in front of him.
Inuyasha took a step back "She jumped right in front of it, there was nothing I could do. It wasn't my-"
Sesshomaru blinked and stood numbly. He had no idea why this made him angry, but it infuriated him more than anything Inuyasha had done before. The words his father had spoken to him long ago ran through his head, "Do you have anyone to protect, Sesshomaru?"
I have failed you RIn, I'm sorry....
"DIE INUYASHA!" Sesshomaru leaped at Inuyasha. Inuyasha dodged to the side and landed on the rim of the Bone-Eater's Well.
"Sesshomaru, I didn't-"
Sesshomaru charged again, his eyes crackling with fury. This time, Inuyasha hopped backwards and Sesshomaru tripped on the side of the well and fell through. Everyone stopped and stared. Five minutes passed by and nothing happened. Kagome stepped forward and looked into the well "Did he... go through?"
Inuyasha shrugged "I dunno. He looked pretty mad though. Thats surprising coming from him."
Kagome blinked back tears as she looked at what was left of Rin "Maybe he cared more about her than he wanted to show."
Sango, Miroku and Shippo came into the clearing on Kirara in a burst of snow "Whats going on? Why'd you suddenly run ahead?"
*********************************************************** *
Sesshomaru stood inside the Higuarashi shrine. He'd climbed out of the well and then leaped back into it to go back to the Feudal Era, but it didn't work. He was stuck in this cursed Era. He pushed open the door and walked outside, it was night. "Well, I better leave before that half-breed decides to follow." He turned onto an odd gray path. It was, unbeknownst to him, a sidewalk. He poked at it with his foot before following it. Rin was dead. And it was Inuyasha who had killed her. I will slay him if its the last thing I do. That thought got him wondering to why he cared about the fate of Rin. She was just an annoying human girl after all. No, I won't end up like father. That mortal woman was why he'd died. I won't be killed so easily. He looked around, he had come to a path like the gray one, only it was pitch black with yellow lines in the middle. He stepped into the middle of it and looked up it. It seemed to lead somewhere, so he started following it. Pretty soon, he heard a roaring noise. He stopped and looked behind him. Through the darkness, a bright light burned into Sesshomaru's eyes, blinding him. He heard the roar get closer and closer. He blinked his eyes and saw faintly a large shape coming toward him, faster and faster. Before he knew it, it slammed into him, throwing him backwards. There was a loud screeching noise and crys of "What was that?!" He groaned and sat up, the dragon arm he'd attached to himself had been knocked off by the blast, and the shikon jewel sparkled on the ground next to him. Sesshomaru grimaced and picked it up. A human ran up to him and knelt down beside him, "Are you o-" He stopped as he saw Sesshomaru's ears. "What the- Hey, you must be one of those Lord of The Rings fans. Trying to be Legolas are we? My favorite character is Mer-" He stopped as he saw the flash of annoyance in Sesshomaru's eyes. Sesshomaru stood, and tucked the jewel in a pocket. he brought his hand in front of his face. It glowed green. The man took a step back, "Whats- whats going on?" Sesshomaru beared his claws and said, "I have no time for mortals."
*********************************************************** *
Kagome clambered out of the well as Inuyasha waited for her at the top, "Hurry up, you're taking forever. Its already been a day."
Kagome huffed, "Well we had to make sure the others made it to the village safe."
Inuyasha snorted, "Whatever do you mean? They have Shippo, the 'great fox demon' with them. They'll be safe."
Kagome frowned, "Is that sarcasm I sense?" She waved her hand, "Nevermind don't answer that. Lets go ask Mom if she saw anything."
*********************************************************** *
Sesshomaru had walked onto the gray sidewalk again. He'd been tired so he cleared out a spot in the snow, sat down and rested. When he awoke, a little girl had been standing over him. She was bundled up in a pink coat. She was tugging on his sleeve and looking at him curiously. "Excuse me Mister, is that a tail?" she asked, pointing to the fuzzy thing over Sesshomaru's shoulder. Sesshomaru was stunned.
"Can I pet it?" She reached over and touched it. Sesshomaru snarled, wrenching it from her hands. He pulled out Tokijin. "Touch me again and you die!" The girl's eyes filled with tears of fright. She turned and ran, crying. He replaced Tokijin in its sheath and walked into an alleyway. He sniffed. "I smell blood." He walked deeper into the alleyway until he came to a giant metal box (dumpster) . He could smell the garbage that lay inside it, but more impotantly, he could smell blood. There was blood splattered on the dumpster and on the ground in front of it. He knelt down and took a closer look. "This blood hasn't even been here for a day. This must have happened at least an hour ago." He stood and looked around. He heard a muffled groaning coming from inside the dumpster. He considered dumpster curiously. "I wonder how this opens..." He felt around it until he came upon a handle. He grabbed it and pulled up. It was frozen shut. Sesshomaru grunted and pulled harder. The ice shattered and the lid flew open to reveal a girl lying inside the dumpster. She was bound and gagged. She looked unconscience and her shirt was ripped and stained with blood, and she was lying in a small pool of blood. More importantly were her ears. There were dog ears on top of her head.
*********************************************************** *
Inuyasha sniffed the air, "Damn, I can't smell anything. the air's too cold and the scent has been covered by the snow."
"Maybe we can find tracks?" Kagome offered. Inuyasha tapped her head with his knuckles, "Have you gotten stupider since we last met? ITS SNOWING!"
Kagome frowned, "Who are YOU calling stupid? Stupider isn't a word."
Inuyasha opened his mouth to start yelling when he sniffed again, "I smell... blood. Thats the only thing I can smell. Its pretty old too." He took off into the snow. Kagome ran after him, "HEY WAIT!"
She tripped over Inuyasha who was crouching on the ground and landed face first in the snow. She shrieked and leaped up as she saw it had been stained red. Inuyasha sniffed the man lying in the snow. "I'm not sure becuase this is an old scent, but I think Sesshomaru was here."
Kagome pointed to the wound, "Who else could have done it. We have to find him before he kills anyone else."
Inuyasha continued sniffing and wandered away from the body and the vehicle, "Hey look at this! This is the dragon arm Sesshomaru had attactched to himself." Kagome studied the scene, "Was Sesshomaru.... hit?"
Inuyasha snorted, "I hope he did. he deserves it."
*********************************************************** *
Sesshomaru was stunned "How... but isn't this... filthy half-breeds." He started to walk away. He stopped as he heard her groan again. Then she started coughing. He turned and sliced off her gag. She was coughing up blood. She wasn't wearing a coat and her skin was clammy white as if she'd been in there for over an hour. She had long black hair with silver highlights, but some of the silver, which was similar to Sesshomaru’s own hair, was stained with blood. Sesshomaru hesitated, then lifted a hand and cut the ropes that bound her. I'm doing this for Rin's sake. Repayment for her sacrifice. But even at this thought he heard his father's words running through his head. Have you anyone to protect Sesshomaru? He lifted the girl out of the dumpster and left the alleyway, back onto the sidewalk. "There must be an inn around here, or somewhere I can drop her off." He walked down the icy streets until the sun started to set. The problem was, he didn't know what a tavern looked like in this era. Everything had changed. He stopped and looked down at the girl. She was shivering violently. Sesshomaru set her down for a moment, took off the top of his kimono, wrapped it around her, and then picked her back up again. "Maybe if I take her back to that shrine, I can dump her there for someone else to take care of." He shivered as the cold air hit his bare skin. He trudged his way back to the shrine he came out of the well into. He was halfway across the yard to the shrine when he saw the house next to it. "Does someone live here? Maybe they can take her." Then he shook his head as he remembered the little girl's reaction to him. "Maybe I'll just take her back through the well." He continued walking to the well when he slipped on ice and fell. He landed face down in the snow. The girl landed only a few feet from him, still covered in his kimono. He felt the cold snow numb his skin. Him being a demon, should have been able to get back up, but the battle with Inuyasha and hours of walking in the cold had weakened him greatly. His eyes closed slowly as he slipped into unconscienceness.
*********************************************************** *
He awoke feeling warm and refreshed. He was lying on something soft. He opened his eyes and sat up. He was lying on what looked like an elevated pallet, also known as: a bed. He blanched as he saw the blankets. They were pink. Where the hell am I? He was about to stand, when he realized he wasn't wearing anything. "What the-" The door opened and Sesshomaru instinctively reached for a pink blanket to cover himself and winced again at its garish color. A woman entered the room (Kagome's mom). She was carrying a bundle of cloth. "Oh, you're awake. Good, just in time to eat." She set the bundle of cloth on the desk next to the bed, revealing that they were actually Sesshomaru's clothes. They'd been cleaned and dried. "Get dressed and come join us downstairs. And don't worry about your friend. She'll be fine."
Sesshomaru bristled "She is NOT my friend. I would never befriend a half-breed." he sneered on the word half-breed. "And if you think I will consent to being taken care of by humans, you are wrong."
The woman looked angry "It doesn't matter if you're not her friend! She's fine and YOU are going to be dressed and downstairs by the time I come back! Is that clear?" She turned and walked straight out the door, shutting it sharply.
Sesshomaru was shocked. I was just yelled out by a human. He reached over and grabbed his kimono from the desk.
*********************************************************** *
Sesshomaru exited the room with relief. He couldn't stand to be in the room that reeked of the girl who was with Inuyasha all the time. This must be her family he thought. He walked down the stairs that the woman had pointed out and he found himself in a kitchen. There was an old man setting the table. "Oh, its good to see you awake. Come and-"
"Spare me your words mortal. I'm leaving."
"But aren't you going to stay long enough to see your friend healed?"
Sesshomaru started to get angry again, but then he thought of something and forced a smile. "Oh yes. I forgot. Can I see her?"
The old man nodded and led him to the living room where the girl was lying on the couch, wrapped in bandages. Sesshomaru studied her. Her skin was still sickly pale and he could see the inivisible demons that hung around the dead or dying. He drew the Tenseiga. The old man's eyes widened "What are you doing?!"
Sesshomaru ignored him and swung the sword down. The old man gasped as the sword slashed through without drawing blood. "What the-..."
Sesshomaru sheathed the sword. "You'll find that her wounds have healed and she is alive. I'll take my leave now." Sesshomaru turned, only to find Kagome's mother.
"Neither of you are leaving until you both are well."
Sesshomaru glared daggers at her. She walked over and snatched his swords from him "And don't even try killing us, it won't work." Sesshomaru was startled. He had been planning just that. "And what makes you think that?" He asked, bringing his hand in front of his face. The Tetsusaiga in its rusty, battered form flashed through the air and batted it away from his face, "Becuase if you try it, I'll kill you. And this time I'll succeed." Inuyasha stood in the doorway behind him. "You'd be dead already but Kagome wouldn't shut up about it."
Kagome walked into the room, carrying a tray of food , "Enemy or not, we shouldn't leave them out in the cold."
Inuyasha turned and yelled at her, "WE COULD HAVE JUST GRABBED THE GIRL AND LEFT HIM! I BET THIS IS GOING TO TURN INTO A KOGA THING ISN'T IT?"
"SIT! Hmph." Kagome walked over to the couch and set the tray on the coffee table. Inuyasha slammed to the ground. "Gah!"
Kagome stood and gave Sesshomaru a stern glance, "You found her, you take her. Thats the rule. Inuyasha and I can't afford anymore distractions from our own mission."
Kagome's mom shook her head, "Kagome you speak of her as if she's a dog."
Inuyasha's voice was muffled becuase his face was in the floor, but nevertheless he sounded angry, "Is that some kind of joke?"
Sota was reaching over the couch rubbing the girl's ears "Well if you'd noticed Inuyasha, she does have dog ears like you. Hey, she even looks like you with the white hair! Are you realated?"
Inuyasha sat up and snorted, "There's no way. My father only had two children. Me and HIM!"
He blinked, "Hey, where'd Sesshomaru go?"
The girl's ears twitched and she opened her eyes.
************************************************************
Sesshomaru studied the front door. How did this thing work? He tried turning the door handle, but it wouldn't turn. It was obviously locked, but being from the past as he was, he had no idea. He snarled and put a hand to his sword, but it wasn't there. That woman had taken it. He scowled. The door exploded as Sesshomaru used his poison talons on it. He heard a voice, "WAIT!" The girl ran up to him. "You're the one who took me from the alleyway aren't you?" She held out her hand and offered him his two swords. Sesshomaru eyed her warily and took them, "What of it?"
She blushed, "I just wanted to thank you."
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, "How did you come to this era?"
She blinked, "huh?"
"Why are you, a half dog demon, in this era when demons existed centuries ago?"
She cocked her head in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Sesshomaru shook his head, "Nevermind. Well, if we're done here, which I am, I'll be going now." He stepped out the door into the snow. The girl ran into his back as Inuyasha pushed her out the door after him, "HEH! There's no way you're sticking her with us!" Then he slammed the door shut.
The girl shivered, "But, Its so cold... "
Sesshomaru turned and walked away to the shrine.
"Hey! Wait up!" The girl ran after him.
Sesshomaru entered the shrine and studied the well, "If this doesn't work this time..."
The girl eyed him curiously, "What do you mean, 'work'?'" But Sesshomaru just leaped into the well. After a few moments, she heard cursing and he jumped back up the the ground beside her. He turned and walked back out the door. The girl groaned and followed him. But she stopped right before she ran into him, for he had come to a halt.
"Why are you following me?"
She shifted from foot to foot, "You're the only one to follow..."
"Why don't you go off on your own? You're a demon you can take care of yourself."
"Ummm... but... I'm afraid to go off on my own..." she looked down, embarrassed.
Sesshomaru shook his head, "I have no time for weaklings." He continued walking.
She ran after him, "but you don’t understand!"
Sesshomaru stopped and turned his cold stare to her, "I have no care whatsoever for what happens to a half-breed like you." He left the gates of the Higuarashi residence/shrine, leaving the girl behind him, with tears in her eyes.
