InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The New World ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Author’s Note: Hello. I’m veryveryvery sorry about not updating this story (or The Assassins) but I was working really hard on some other things. I had absolutely NO time for this story at all, but I will not give it up! Don’t worry, I’m very persistent. I hope I get some reviews, but it’s not the most important thing…
Another thing. PLEASE do not review with those “Send this to 10 people and your crush will…” It’s annoying and I believe you can get banned. I don’t think I have to mention names because there’s only five reviews and one of them is in there…
Enjoy the chapter!
EDIT: Inuyasha is now only eighteen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND Kagome and him can speak the same language just to avoid…things.

Inuyasha leaned against the door to his quarters. They had been sailing for a month and a half and they hadn’t seen a--
“Land ho!”
Almost instantly, Inuyasha sprang up and looked up at the man in the crow’s-nest, waiting for an affirmation. The man spotted him and waved down. “Captain, I see land! About a mile away!”
The captain nodded and turned. The next two minutes the ship was barking with orders. When the bottom of the ship scraped the mud-covered water, Inuyasha strapped his gun to his back and jumped gracefully over the side, helping pull the boat out of the water. Other men, including Miroku, helped as well. As soon as the boat was on land securely, Inuyasha turned to his curious men.
“I will search the land. I trust you men to stay here and unload.” He turned on his heel and started walking.

“Who is that?” Sango whispered, peering over Kagome’s shoulder.
“I…don’t know, Sango. They are…white men.”
Kagome kept her eyes glued to the tall man dressed in strange red clothing as he walked in the direction of their village. She found herself wishing to run her hands through his black, soft looking hair that blew in the wind. As if he knew she was there, the man’s eyes flicked in her direction, scanning the area before meeting her chocolate eyes.
Without moving her face much, Kagome whispered to Sango, “Go, Sango, and tell the village I am out for a walk.”
“But-”
“Go, Sango.”
Sango nodded and skittered away to the village. As soon as her footsteps were no longer heard, Kagome stood quietly. The man was watching her as she stepped from behind the trees. His head tilted to the side slightly as he observed her.
Kagome stepped closer to him so the were almost touching. She held her hand up and grabbed his lightly. She pressed their palms together. The man was still staring at her, trying to meet her eyes.

Inuyasha waited for the person hiding in the trees to come to him. Eventually, she stood and walked towards him, letting him get a good look at her. She had long black hair to her waist and piercing blue-gray eyes that locked with his. The woman looked around his age, and she was about seven inches shorter than him, but intimidating. Her brown moccasins didn’t make a sound as she stopped in front of him. She must have been of some high stature, for her leather, sundress-like outfit was covered with beautifully colored beads.
When she pressed his palm to hers, Inuyasha felt an electric spark burst through him. She didn’t say a word as she traced his handsome face with her fingertips. He shuddered slightly and she smiled.
“What…is your name, girl?” Inuyasha asked in the meanest voice he could muster. The young woman narrowed her eyes slightly and stuck her lips out a little, giving her a mysterious look.
She put a finger to her lips. “Shh….” She whispered, smiling.
Inuyasha blinked. When he opened his eyes, he was being pushed against a tree with a knife to his throat. The woman was staring at him with dangerous eyes, holding the knife in place. Inuyasha growled.
“Do not intrude on our village, White Man. If you do, we kill you.” The woman licked her lips and smiled before pushing herself off Inuyasha and running in the opposite direction, taking the dagger with her.
He stayed in the position against the tree for more than five minutes before heading back to his men.
“As I explored, I found a good place to set camp. Tomorrow, we set to explore, some more.” He was met with nods. “Good. Gather the supplies and follow me.”
Inuyasha led them back to where he met the woman.
“Here?” Miroku asked, looking around.
“Of course not, fool.” Inuyasha snapped. He cursed in his head and sighed with relief when he saw a clearing. He ran to the middle of it and turned to face his crew. “Here.”
The men nodded and set up the tents and supplies. Later, after everyone went to bed, Inuyasha sat up from his cot and snuck out of the campsite.
He wander aimlessly, hoping that he could someway find the mysterious woman he met. “She’s quite the beauty.” He whispered to himself.
Pushing his way through the coarse bushes, Inuyasha finally found a type of pond with tall willow trees surrounding the area. A figure was sitting next to the largest willow tree, talking. He padded closer, hiding behind random trees. His eyes widened with amazement as he realized the figure was actually the woman he met. He watched her as she stopped talking and sat cross-legged on an old tree stump.
“Come out, White Man, I know you are there.” She called softly.
Inuyasha stepped out from the trees and jumped to the tree stump she sat on. He sat next to her, letting one leg dangling off the edge.
“Hi.” He greeted gruffly.
The woman turned her head towards him. “Hello, White Man.”
They sat in silence before Inuyasha broke it. “Tell me. What is your name, woman?”
She smiled grimly. “My name is not important.”
“But I need to know!” He exclaimed, leaning closer to her so she could feel his breath.
“Kagome.” She said. “Kagome is my name.”
“Kagome…” Inuyasha whispered, letting the word roll off his tongue easily. “That’s a nice name.”
“Woman!” An angry voice yelled in the distance.
Kagome’s eyes widened and she scrambled up. “I have to go, White Man.”
“It’s Inuyasha.” He said. She smiled.
“Fine. I have to go, Inuyasha. Kog--I mean, someone is calling me.”
She bowed slightly before running off, leaving Inuyasha to wonder about her all night and when he would see her again.
