InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ One by One ❯ A long way from home. ( Chapter 1 )
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Okay, this is based on a fan fic I did called "The Awsomely Metal IY Biker Story." how ever, AMBS was poorly thought out and I more or less made shit up as I went along and I'm generally disatisfied with it as a whole. So with some experiance under my belt, I'm gonna start again.
NOTES: This takes place current day. Demons exist but arn't as big a problem. They generally avoid major cities, but there are alot of out laying towns in the boonies where they are just as big a problem as in the show. Demons and half demons have all the hightened senses and physcial poweress of the show, but have to use weapons like the rest of us, even if the weapons do fancy power shit.
------------
InuYasha rushed head long at the guards, leaping high over head. He smiled as he whistled through the air down at them. He flicked his wrist and a switchblade flew out of his jacket sleeve. He flipped it open as he came down.
As he landed he swung his arm out and the knife dipped into the rubbery substance of the first guards neck. Before the dead man hit the ground InuYasha covered the distance to the next one and jammed the blade into his gut.
Busting down the gate with his shoulder, InuYasha saw there was no one in his way. He leapt up and crashed through the roof of the building in front of him. And there was the jewel. Perfect. He grabbed it and leapt back out the same hole.
By now the humans had realized what had happened and bullets began to wizz past him. No matter. At the speed he was going no human could hit him. The buildings fell away to woods. Home free. All he had to do was make it to the forest-
'Fuck.' Over the small arms fire InuYasha picked out the sound of a familar rifle's safety being switched off. 'Please let me be wrong on that! Please say I fucking misheard!' He looked over his shoulder. A raven haired woman was aiming a rifle at him. 'Fuck. I hate being right.'
He heard the gun shot, listened to the sound of the bullet cutting the air. It was too late to move.
The bullet tore through his chest right above his heart, slamming his body into a tree, the jewel flying out of his hand. 'No dammit!' he slid down the tree and hit the ground. The world dimmed as his life began to fade away. Before he scrumbled into darkness, InuYasha managed to speak. "Kikyo.. why?"
Kagome rubbed her eyes as she made her way downstairs. There was still a half hour before school. 'They should really give us our birthdays off' She thought miserbly. It was a muggy early summer day so he was wearing a T-shirt and skirt to school that day.
As she passed the door she checked the mail box. 'Bill.. bill... bill... death threat.. pipe bomb.. bah, nothing but bills.' she thought trying to liven up the chore.
After breakfast Kagome picked up her back pack and headed for the door. "MA! I'm going!" she called over her shoulder. "Be careful dear!" "Don't worry, they don't come this far into the city!" 'That's mom, always worrying.'
As she opened the door, she noticed something taped on to it. It was a 'missed delivery of a valuable package' notice. 'I'll pick it up on the way, I'm a little early anyway.'
She took the paper and went on her way. The route to the post office took her through a wooded area. She watched the forest around her house as she went. She knew there wouldn't be any demons here, not this close to the city, or here of all places. 'They're out in the country. And they rarely attack human homes. Well, the real big ones do, but Cmon, someone would see it with so many people around and call the army or something.'
She was lucky enough to live in a city, where you were more likely to get robbed than eaten. She had never even SEEN a live demon. So what did she have to worry about?
She looked to the skies. It was going to rain later. Hopefully she would be home by then.. 'if not, maybe I can get a ride from Eri or Ayume or somebody. They have cell phones.'
The post office came into view and Kagome walked in. "Hi, I'm here to pick up a package." She told the man behind the counter. "Name?"
"Higurashi." "Right, got it right here." The man reached under the counter and put a small box about the size of Kagome's fist on the table. 'That doesn't look too important' Kagome thought, signing the form he gave her.
Kagome headed out through the woods. She was almost out on the street when she heard a rustling in the woods. 'What was that? It couldn't be a demon, there are no demons this close..' she reassured her self. The rustling continued, louder this time. 'It's comingright for me! Oh man, it's a demon!'
Kagome bolted toward the road. She almost made it when something slammed into her. Hard. Rough hands grabbed her and spun her around. She wasn't touching the ground anymore, but a feeling told her it was actually BEHIND her.
She stared into her attacker's face. It was a woman's face. Except it had fangs and the body of a insect. 'Oh Jesus, it's a demon.' The thing's mouth opened. "I know you have it.." it rasped. "Where is the jewel?" 'Jewel!? What the hell!?'
It opened its mouth further and its tongue came out. 'What the hell is it going to do?! I got to do something!' Kagome did the only thing she could. She yelled "BACK OFF" and slammed her palm into its body.
A bright pink light filtered out from the demon's body through her fingers. The light exploded outward, blinding Kagome.
Kagome was awoken by rain hitting her face. She wearily pushed her self up. 'Where I am I? It's a forest... where's the road, and where's that demon?' She wondered looking around. She couldn't see the road. 'Well I'm sure I'm only a few yards away, I'll find it.'
She didn't find THE road, but she did find A road. Well not really a road, more like a dirt path. Where ever it goes, it has to lead to people. After several minutes, she came on a group of houses in the middle of the forest. 'Well, better than a forest.' By now it was drizzling, and she headed for the first public building she saw.
Inside, an old woman with an eye patch greeted her. "May I help ye child?" She asked kindly. Kagome related the story to her. When she finished the old woman looked at her skeptically. "And do ye still have the package with ye?" "Yes, right here." Kagome said, handing it over.
The old woman opened the package. When she opened the box inside, she gasped. She reached in and pulled out a small round jewel. The old woman fixed Kagome with a stare. "Follow me child."
The old woman led her farther into the building. At last they came to what looked like a small jail. The old woman stood behind a desk and placed the jewel on the desk.
Kagome stood next to one of the cell doors. As she was standing, a hand slipped through one of the bars and brushed against something fuzzy.
"Now then child, do ye know what this is?" Kagome shook her head. Idly she moved her hand around trying to find what ever she had brushed against. There it was. Felt like a dog. She shot a quick glance at it and saw some silver hair and a pair of ears. 'Yepp, it's a dog.' She moved her hand over and tweaked its ear.
The old woman stared at her. "What?" Kagome asked innocently. The dog cleared it throat. 'Wait, what?' Kagome looked at the dog.
She recoiled in shock. The 'dog' was actully a silver haired boy in jeans, a leather jacket and boots leaning agaist the cell door. With yellow eyes and dog ears. And he was staring at her angrily. Very angrily. He snorted and turned his attention back to the wall.
"Don't mind InuYasha, he is always this surly." "Is he.." "Nay, he is only a half demon. Now, to the task at hand. This is the Shikon no Tama, and it can increase the power of a demon ten fold.."
InuYasha tried not to smile to himself. 'All this time, and the sacred jewel manages to find it's way back to me.' he chuckled silently. 'Now, to get that girl away from the old bitch. She's young, frightened and most likely from the city. All I gotta do is convince her to get with in arms reach, stick an arm through the bars and around her scrawny neck..' he chuckled to him self again.
The old hag finished her little speech and they were about to leave the room when a man rushed in. "Lady Kaede! A demon is attacking! Most of the men are returning fire, but it isn't doing much good!" he panted. "Kagome, stay here and don't venture out or let anything get the jewel." Kaede yelled and rushed out of the room.
'Well well well.. when opportunity knocks..' InuYasha waited for the girl to pick up the jewel. Instead she went to the window and watched the fight out side. 'Damn it.. okay new plan.'
Kagome stared out the window as the demon destroyed homes. The people were shooting at it, but it didn't seem to help.. 'Jesus Christ, where am I, what am I doing here?'
"Ya know, there is an easy way to end all this.." she heard InuYasha begin behind her, his voice marking him as a southern boy.. demon. "What do you mean?" "I mean, let me out, and I'll kill that thing, and no one else has to die." "You're sure you can kill it?" "Of course." "But why are you in jail?"
"What?" "I mean, I can't let you loose if you're gonna murder someone." 'JESUS! She HAD to think of that NOW!' "Listen, I won't hurt you, I just don't want to be stuck in this cell if the demon gets in here, 'sides, if it does get in her I'm the only one who could help you." "You promise you'll protect me?" "Yes, I swear I'll protect you!" InuYasha said irratibly.
Satisfied, Kagome headed for the keys. When she turned her back InuYasha smiled. 'Too easy' As she was reaching for the keys the whole room shook as the demon crashed through the wall. Pieces of rubble went flying everywhere and the room was filled with dust as the roof opened up to let the rain pour down.
"FUCK!" InuYasha yelled jumping back as part of the demon crashed through the bars. The jail was open. InuYasha couldn't help but laugh as he dashed out, flicking his wrist to bring his switch blade out of his jacket sleeve. The demon, some kinda centipede, was searching around, looking for the jewel. 'Don't matter, he won't have time to reach it.' InuYasha thought jumping for the thing's head.
He slashed the balde along it's neck and it screamed in rage. It wouldn't die as easy as those humans. InuYasha concentrated as he brought the blade back for the next strike, a yellow light surrounded it, and swung it forward so fast it left a yellow streak in the air.
Kagome stared in awe at what InuYasha did to that thing. It happened faster than she could see. There was just a flash of yellow light, then pieces of demon were raining down.
From where she was knocked down by the demon crashing through, Kagome was only an arm's reach away from the jewel. She grabbed it and pushed her self to her feet.
InuYasha turned to her, with a smile on his face Kagome didn't like
at all. He twirled the knife in his fingers. "InuYasha.." "Give me the jewel, or I'll do that to you."
