Chapter 1 - Shadows in the Brush

 

Authors Note: I do not or will ever own Inuyasha or their other characters BUT I am doing my best to catch their characters in anyway I can! Sorry if my stories don't live up to what you'd expect but I've started working on my own type of writing style.

 

OK this story is mostly for laughs….and there are some intimate scenes added…so ya know…whatever tickles you're fancy….

 

They traveled down a deeply forested path; Miroku, Shippou and Sango on Kirara while Kagome was riding on Inuyasha's back. The last eight hours had been exhausting for the whole group. They had collected 3 shards from different demons and Kagome could see everyone was tiring out even though it was only mid afternoon

 

“Inuyasha, I think we should stop for the day” Kagome said

 

“Feh. We've wasted enough time on resting today. We're going to continue, so get over it!” he growled still going on

 

Kagome thought otherwise as she yelled, “OSUWARI!!”

 

Inuyasha was thrown straight to the ground in only a millisecond with Kagome still sitting on his back. She calmly got up off of him,

 

“This is the perfect place. Good choice Inuyasha” she smarted off.

 

The group laughed at Inuyasha's constant angered mumbling and thinking

 

Who does she think she is?! She just can't do that! We have to go out and find more sacred jewel shards….but then again she does smell pretty bad perhaps she does need a bath.

 

He smiled at his thoughts that he was glad no one else could hear them. He helped the others set up camp before the girls left for a bath, leaving the boys in the clearing.

 

-------

 

Kagome sat in the springs relaxed and settled. This is so relaxing, I could stay here forever.

 

“Kagome, what's been bothering you?” Sango asked as she noticed that she'd begun staring into space in deep thought for the zillionth time that day

 

She popped out of her trance in almost an instant, “Wha…huh?” she had only got the end of her question

 

Sango looked worried, “You've been staring into space all day, like you were trying to focus on something” after a couple moments Kagome still didn't say anything `this must really be bothering her if she's not answering' but her thoughts were cut off at Kagome's voice.

 

“I've had this feeling that something's gonna happen either tonight or tomorrow, and it's familiar somehow like I've known it all my life” she looked at the ripples in the water, concentrating on what it could possibly be

 

It feels like I should have it standing by me for the rest of my life and never let it go.

 

“It's not a demon is it?” Sango asked quickly, in case she needed to get out and protect them

 

“No no…I don't sense any demons it's just like an instinct…I don't know…let's jut drop it and relax…”

 

“Alright, Kagome…” she leaned her head back and relaxed her body\

 

I hope Kagome is alright. She's so worried over all of us lately

 

The girls had gotten out of their bath after they thoroughly cleaned themselves; they dried off heading back to camp. Inuyasha and Shippou had been fighting and when Kagome came into the clearing, Shippou ran and jumped to his mother's arms and was dry crying and whimpering

 

“Okaa-san!! Inuyasha's picking on me and pulling my hair!!”

 

Kagome stroked Sippou's hair as she gave Inuyasha a displeased look and all he did was mutter, “brat…..”

 

Kagome actually growled as she yelled, “sit sit sit sit sit!!” Inuyasha was plummeted into the ground so hard that it left an imprint of his face in the dirt crater it had made. She then looked towards Shippou still petting him

 

“It's ok sweetie…he won't touch you again….” she walked over still holding her adopted son and got out the supplies for dinner as Inuyasha pulled himself out of the crater looking grim; he would have said something if it wasn't for the fear of being sat again, so he just went to the nearest tree and sat on a branch

 

Damn this rosary! Inuyasha thought

 

They enjoyed dinner and to Kagome's relief a peaceful nights sleep with no attacks or unexpected visitors. The following morning was routine; Kagome got up and prepared breakfast, Inuyasha sat in a tree waiting on the food, Shippou was playing with a butterfly that decided to fly around him, and Miroku was busy getting slapped by a very annoyed Sango, “Hentai!”

 

Kagome couldn't help but laugh at the two when are they just going to admit they like each other… she sighed as she finished up the food, “Breakfast guys…” Inuyasha was the first one to get there

 

“It's about time wench; I'm starving!” he whined

 

Kagome was fuming but didn't show it as Shippou came up to eat his plate on his mothers lap smiling.

 

“This is delicious Kagome-sama” Miroku complimented

 

“Thank you Mir…o…ku…” Kagome trailed off as she felt a faint demonic aura coming from behind Inuyasha who seemed to have noticed it too as he started sniffing the air and turned around to look at a bush and saw two pairs of eyes, one pair which was blue like a summer sky and the other one a golden amber staring at them.

 

They all jumped up into a fighting stance pulling their weapons in case it decided to attack them; it only continued to stare at them with wide eyes. Kagome was staring at those beautiful eyes that seemed like they were glowing similar to the sun on a winter's sunset

 

Those eyes their so warm, familiar to me somehow; they actually look a lot like Inuyasha's eyes

 

Noticing that the eyes were staring at her and Inuyasha the most; it hadn't even looked at the other four. For some reason she felt connected with the demon and it frightened her just slightly I wonder what it wants with us and why hasn't it attacked yet

 

Inuyasha was getting peeved what the hell are they waiting for? And why does one of them smell so familiar

 

Pulling himself out of his trance “Oi! What do you want?!?!”

 

The eyes immediately disappeared in rustle of leaves as they ran. Inuyasha lowered the Tetsusagia in confusion, “wha….”

 

Kagome however started sprinting, “No wait!” she followed the mysterious eyes into the brush. She heard Inuyasha behind her

 

“Kagome wait! Don't!!” but she didn't stop she kept running and running following the auras that were only yards away from her and her friends were right behind her now following her.

 

“Kagome what the hell do you think your doing?!” Inuyasha yelled at Kagome still running behind her.

 

“I have to follow them…I have to know who they are!” she screamed at him as she kept on running. Inuyasha was confused at her determination

 

Why is she so determined to follow two creatures that would most likely kill her rather than look at her?

 

She ran and ran for just a bit more when they emerged into a clearing; what they saw was absolutely breathtaking. There was a small cottage-like hut in the middle of it with windows and a door and flower bushes surrounding it. There were also beautiful flower patches in the surrounding bushes of the clearing, a small garden over in the back yard and a small area for playing or training. As she stared she forgot what exactly she had been doing there when she snapped back into focus as she saw a figure running towards the cottage

 

“Wait! Stop! We won't hurt you!” she exclaimed

 

The demon stopped, but with it's back still turned they couldn't see it's full appearance but saw that it had silvery white hair with black streaks and it wore a loose one piece garment colored in striking colors of red with dark blue stripes. It had a length that stopped at the ankles but the sleeves were at least 2 inches longer than its arms covering up its hands. On its waist was an obi colored the same dark blue only with strange yellow wavy patterns near the ends where it was tied and it held something near its front. Also there was a pouch on its left side going across her back to the right shoulder, supposedly holding something heavy as it did sag a bit. Beside her was an amazing pure white wolf with piercing blue eyes and it was growling at them in warning to stay away from the human like creature behind it.

 

It stood still and it was very unnerving to the group; Inuyasha could smell fear and excitement coming from the creature

 

How can you be scared and exited at the same damn time!' he thought quickly before opening his wide open trap

 

“Turn around!” he ordered as he drew the Tetsusagia again.

 

The small creature was really nervous now, but she slowly but surely turned causing gasps to be heard from everyone at the captivating demon that stood before them….
