InuYasha slowly advanced on Kagome, switch blade in hand. "C'mon, little human like you can't use it, might as well give it to some one who can." The rain was coming down harder. Kagome slowly backed up. "You don't have to make this hard on your self, just hand it over and you can go home." A flash of lightning illuminated the smile on his face.
Her foot landed on a piece of rubble which gave way beneath her. The next thing she saw was the sky, a yellow line arching where her neck was only a split second before. 'Oh Christ, he'll do it too.' She thought, scrambling to her feet.
She turned to face the half demon. "Lucky girl. That ain't happening again." He advanced again. Kagome looked around for a way to escape. Nothing. If she ran, he would catch her in an instant. 'Oh shit, this is it..'
Several violet spheres of light came flying in from no where. They formed a chain loosely around InuYasha's neck. The light died away to reveal a small black necklace, almost a Rosary.
"What the hell!?" InuYasha twisted his head toward Kaede. "Child! Ye must speak the subduing word!" "OLD WOMAN!" He roared, rushing at the assembled men.
He slammed into one of them with his shoulder, sending him flying. He kicked another one soundly in the chest, feeling the ribs crack under his foot. 'One left.' InuYasha smashed his elbow into his head, knocking him over.
When no one was left standing, he faced the old woman. "What the hell is this!?" He demanded. Before she could say anything, he smelt that girl's scent getting farther away. 'She won't get far.'
Kagome ran into the forest. 'Oh man, what am I gonna do? I gotta get farther into the forest, where he can't find me, oh man.' Behind her the air was silently displaced. For a brief second she heard the rain patter on something above and behind her.
A river came into view. InuYasha landed directly in front of her. She slammed to a halt. "Girl, you are really pissing me off." He growled. 'Subduing word, Subduing word, what is it? Cmon Kagome think!' InuYasha continued to advance. Another flash of lighting illuminated his yellow eyes. 'Yellow eyes, dog ears..' "SIT!"
The necklace glowed. InuYasha had time to ask "What the fuck?" aloud before he slammed into the ground.
Kagome couldn't help but laugh. All this time she had been afraid of him, and he was knocked flat on his face becuase she told him to sit! If she had known it was THAT easy..
She turned and walked leisurely back to the town.
"So where exactly am I?" Kagome asked Kaede as the old woman prepared food. "Well, judging by what ye told me, I can't tell, I've never heard of a city that matches that description." "So you mean.. I'm lost?" "I'm afraid so child, until we can figure out how ye came here, it is best for ye to stay here."
"And what about you, InuYasha, why are you still here?" Kagome asked. The half demon was presently leaning against the wall behind her, tapping his foot irritably. He merely scowled. He had managed to hide the necklace under his jacket, but she knew it still worked.
"Oh don't mind him, he still plans on stealing the jewel, but with the rosary on, he is no threat." InuYasha grumbled angerly and reached in his jacket for a cigarette. As he tried to flick his lighter into use, Kagome coughed pointedly. InuYasha ignored her and managed to get it lit. 'Okay, he's not gonna take a hint.' Kagome thought. "InuYasha, please take that out side."
"Fuck you." "Sit."
It still worked. Kagome smiled as he slammed into the ground. He pushed him self up. "Stop fucking doing that!" "Well, perhaps if you learn some manners I won't have to." "What? Fuck you ya-" "SIT!"
InuYasha pushed him self up wearily and staggered out the door, cursing her under his breath the whole time. "So what's his story?" She asked Kaede. "Oh don't mind him, he's been after the jewel for years. He stopped for a brief while a year or so ago, then managed to fatally wound the former guardian of the jewel. But before she died, she shot him, sending him into a coma untll a few days ago. When he awoke, we put him in that cell until we could figure out what to do with him."
'Wow, I knew that guy was bad news, but wow.' "The strange thing is, InuYasha never attacked a human until he attacked the guardian." "Huh.."
'Why would he suddenly change his mind? He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who has a change of heart easily.'
Outside, in the branches of a tree InuYasha tore furiously at the damned necklace. 'What the FUCK is this thing!? God damn girl! Figures. I get with in five feet of the jewel and some girl that looks like Kikyo throws a fucking magic necklace on me.'
He took a break from his curses and sniffed the air. 'Odd, that girl's scent is moving away from the village.. and she's alone.' InuYasha grinned wickedly. 'You trust that little trick of yours too much girl, it doesn't work if you never know I'm there.'
He stuck to the tree tops, leaping from branch to branch silently after her scent, always careful to remain a safe distance behind until she stopped. After five minutes of walking she slowed down. InuYasha found a small cliff over looking the area the scent stopped and crawled up to the edge.
It was a lake, there was the girl, and she was...
'Holy crap.' She was going for a swim... he was a small distance off, but with his eyes... 'Holy crap.' She strode toward the shore, dipping a toe and shivering before wading in. 'Ho. Lee. Fuck.' She dived gracefully under.
'JEWEL RETARD! THE FUCKING JEWEL!' His mind screamed at him. 'Huh? Yeah right, jewel. Let's see, she sure as hell doesn't have it on her. Or anything else for that matter... so they would have to be in a pocket in her clothes, which were on the shore. And not on her body. All I have to do is leap in, grab her clothes when she's underwater, disappear and find it else wheres.' InuYasha rose to one knee and prepared to make his move.
Kagome came back up. InuYasha's eyes flashed immediately to the movement. 'Wait for her to go back under, pay attention to her, gotta wait on her movements... What is she staring at?'
"SIT!"
By the time InuYasha had managed to recover, Kagome was dressed and heading back home. Wisely, he decided not to follow her. Instead, he found a tree to nurse his brusied pride in and just kept track of her by scent, lest she disappear with his jewel.
Kagome stalked through the woods towards the village. 'How dare he! Not only is he rude, immature, and violent, he's also a pervert!' But she did manage to learn how powerful a 'sit' could really be. And that it works several times if she says it several times. 'And, I have a feeling, that will be very handy later on.'
Farther up ahead on the road, a group of men was coming toward her. When they were ten feet away, they stopped. They all had rifles slung on their backs. 'Well people are weird out in the boonies. Lots of demons around, so I guess you need guns.' "Are from the village?" She called out. The man in the lead smiled.
InuYasha was drifting off to sleep when something woke him. He sniffed the air. No demons.. there was the girl, but she was moving farther away. And fast. Too fast.
InuYasha got up, stretched, then set off after the jewel.
Kagome was thrown roughly into a small house by her kidnappers. "What are you doing?" she cried angrily. The men merely chuckled. "OH man, this is not good.' She heard movement behind her and turned around. A huge man, at least seven feet tall, with pale skin and dead eyes was raising him self up from a chair.
'Oh crap. How can I get out of this? I sure can't fight my way out..' The man opened his mouth. "Jewel.. give up the jewel." "No way!" 'Why am I resisting, he's five times my size!' Kagome thought in panic. The words had come out of their own free will.
"Don't worry boss, we'll get it from her." One of the men spoke up. The whole group formed a circle around Kagome. 'Oh shit, oh shit..'
The big guy slammed his arm into the guy in his way, sending him flying until he slammed against the wall and was still. The men turned to their leader in shock. Kagome stared at the man he had just clobbered. 'Jesus Christ.. if he did that to me..'
"What the fuck boss?" Some one yelled. The giant merely slammed his arm into the speaker, sending him slamming into the door frame. A beam from the roof collapsed, blocking the door. 'Oh shit, he's killing his own men, and I have no way to escape.'
The giant started swinging his fists at his own men, who desperately tried to get away. In the onslaught Kagome dashed away and found her back against the wall as the battle raged on. Men were flung about like rag dolls. One hit the wall not five feet from her with enough force to shake the wall.
The men tried valiantly, but had no chance. The giant emerged victorious. His battle done, he turned slowly toward Kagome. 'Oh crap, think Kagome, THINK! Jewel, he's after the jewel, get rid of the jewel!'
She reached in her pocket and pulled out the jewel. As she leaned back and tossed it through the door, she felt more than heard something coming through the air towards the house.
The wall next to her exploded out wards, knocking her off her feet. Dust swirled around her. When she looked up, InuYasha was standing in the hole he had made through the wall, switch blade in hand.
He didn't need to guess what had happened when he saw the guard out side and heard the fight inside. Now all that remained was the huge mother fucker. For some reason, all the men were laid low. Well that turn of events saved him about thirty seconds.
He leapt at the giant, planting his feet on his chest and severing his jugular with the knife. He pushed off, spinning the giant around. He landed in front of the girl and waited for the giant to topple over. Instead, he stood his ground.
InuYasha scowled. 'What the hell, I could smell it a mile away if something this big and ugly was a demon..' The giant turned and faced them. InuYasha stared at the gash along his throat, no blood came out. He looked into its glazed over eyes in its too pale face.
"I get it now." InuYasha said aloud. "Get what?" instead of answering, her InuYasha rushed forward, nimbly avoiding the clumsy swing directed at him, and slashed open the giant's shirt.
"I knew it." There was a gaping hole where his heart should be. The girl covered her mouth in shock. 'Heh, damned city girl. Never even seen a man's insides before?'
InuYasha flicked the switch blade closed, and with a slight flick of the wrist it disappeared back into his jacket sleeve. With out hurry he ran up to the giant and punched through the hole, driving out a large black bird. He side stepped the falling giant effortlessly. He watched the bird fly, though the door frame but made no move to stop it.
"What.. what the hell was that?" "Kind of vulture, makes a home in dead men's chests to reanimate them. Not a threat, but nasty sons of bitches." InuYasha replied smugly. 'A little bird scare you that much girl? Well then, it may be easier than I thought to get the jewel.'
"You still have the jewel right?" "Er.. well.." Kagome started innocently. "RIGHT?" "I.. kinda threw it out the door.." "WHAT!?" InuYasha yelled, rushing for the door.
He smashed through the broken beam and searched frantically for the jewel. Too late. He saw the pink object in the vultures beak a split second before it swallowed the jewel whole.
Before his eyes the bird changed, from a simple black crow to a horrible winged creature with a beak sharp as a razor. With out a second glance, it flew in to the air and took off.
"Mother.. fucker.." 'So close.. I had been so close. Now I have no idea where it's headed. I'm going to kill that girl, sit or no sit.' The girl scrambled through the door behind him. InuYasha flexed his wrist. "InuYasha! It's heading for the town!" "What? How the hell do you know?" "I don't know, I just know! Now come on, we have to catch it!" "We?" "I'm the only one that knows where it's going!" 'Damn it, she's got a point..'
InuYasha dashed quickly back into the room, and came back out with a pistol. He gave it to Kagome, before she could ask why, InuYasha grabbed her arm and roughly pulled her toward him, turning around so she slammed into his back. He leaned forward and grabbed her legs.
"What the hell?" Kagome commanded indignantly. "You plan on catching it your self girl!? Just hold on!" InuYasha replied, rushing off towards the town at break neck speed.
Kagome tried not to scream as the world rushed under her. Her stomach lurched as he jumped nearly straight up and landed impossibly on a tree branch at the top. Amazingly, he continued, managing to land on a branch that could support their weight each time.
There was a brief moment of weightlessness as he glided through the air, then her stomach would drop out as he plummeted to the ground, only to slam back into her body as he pushed off, starting it all over again.
"There!" InuYasha yelled as the bird came into sight. "I'm gonna get right under it! You have to shoot it!" "What!? I can't shoot!" "LEARN!" He yelled, leaping on to a line of trees under the bird.
'Oh shit, I can't shoot, I've never held a gun before, what am I supposed to do?' "SHOOT GODAMN IT!" Kagome desperately tried to figure out how to do this. She finally decided on resting her hand on the most stable thing she could find, which in this case was InuYasha's back.
She noticed three posts on top of the pistol and tried lining them up. No good, he was moving too much. She pointed the gun at the bird and squeezed the trigger with her eyes closed..
The report shook her body and she nearly dropped the gun in
surprise. The pistol kicked back in her hand in a split second. "Shit!" She screamed in a way that InuYasha could only describe as wholly girl-ish.
The bird flew on, unconcerned with the girl shooting at it. Kagome again pointed the gun at it. Again sheflinched and closed her eyes, and she pulled the trigger. Again she missed.
The village was coming into view. Kagome again brought her arm in line with the demon. Again she began to pull the trigger. But InuYasha ran out of trees to land on, and instead of being pushed against him like she expected, she was plummeting through the air and her stomach was in her throat. She was too surprised to flinch as the gun went off.
InuYasha landed on the dirt and stared up at the demon. The whole sky had darkened, and a pink light emanated from the bird, filling the sky. 'She did it, the girl actually did it.'
Then the light shattered into pieces, flying in every direction at incredible speed. There had to be at least thirty of them. One flew straight down and embedded itself five feet in front of them.
Kagome slid off his back and dropped the gun before heading for the spot where it landed. As she searched for it, InuYasha's ears picked up her muttering under her breath "That better not of been what I think it was.."
"And what do you think it is?" Kagome stared at something in her hand, then turned around to show him.
It was a small fragment of the Jewel.
"Son of a BITCH!"
Her foot landed on a piece of rubble which gave way beneath her. The next thing she saw was the sky, a yellow line arching where her neck was only a split second before. 'Oh Christ, he'll do it too.' She thought, scrambling to her feet.
She turned to face the half demon. "Lucky girl. That ain't happening again." He advanced again. Kagome looked around for a way to escape. Nothing. If she ran, he would catch her in an instant. 'Oh shit, this is it..'
