Inuyasha: I’m glad that you don’t own me…

Turtlequeen2: Oh, come on, I’m not that horrible!

Inuyasha: Yea, compared to your other fanfics, I think that this is the best because I don’t get tortured by you that much…

Tutlequeen2: Oh yea, that reminds me…Kouga is with Kagome right now…better go get her!

Turtlequeen2: I hope you enjoy! ^.^

*NOTE* I’m using the spelling from the original Japanese version, not the dubbed one. No flames on the spelling because I’m well aware of the English spelling as well. (I know Tessaiga is spelled in the dubbed version as ‘Tetsusaiga’.)

Chapter 1

The Beginning of the Search

It was morning and the group prepared for battle. All they were doing now was waiting, that is until Kagome sensed the presence of the Shikon-no-Kakara. Luckily they were on the outskirts of town so the villagers wouldn’t get hurt.

“I sense a shard coming this way,” she said, tightening the hold on her bow. Shippou ran to hide in a nearby bush.

Inuyasha already set off on running towards the youkai. The rest of them followed behind Inuyasha’s retreating form.

They heard the familiar shout of,” KAZE NO KIZU,” from a certain hanyou. They reached a road just in time to see the blast come from Tessaiga, slam into the boar youkai. He was truly enormous as the priest had said. He must have been four times bigger than Kirara in her large form!

The boar jumped out the way of the attack and swiped at Inuyasha with its claws, slicing into his side. Sango and Miroku, on Kirara, prepared to attack.

“OFUDAS,” shouted Miroku, as he sent down his sacred sutras at the youkai. Two landed on his face, causing it to howl out in pain and charge around blindly.

Kagome was in the path of the blinded youkai and Inuyasha had to rescue her before she got trampled. “KAGOME,” he shouted as he ran towards her at top speed and carried her bridal style to the side. “Where’s the shard at,” he then asks her.

“Its in his chest,” she hurriedly said. “It’s large too!” He nods and sneers at this new information.

“Damn you,” the boar shouted, after scratching the remaining sutras off of his face.

“HIRAIKOTSU,” Sango shouted, throwing her boomerang bone and slicing through the upper part of the boar’s body, before going back into her hands.

The youkai squealed in pain and swiped another set of claws up and knocked Kirara out of the sky. Sango landed on her feet while Miroku was thrown a few feet back, hitting the ground hard, making him unconscious. “HOUSHI-SAMA,” she shouted, running towards his body.

“YOU BASTARD,” Inuyasha shouts, landing another ’Kaze no Kizu’ on the youkai. This time it hit’s the boar head on, in the chest. Kagome shoots a purification bow overhead the wind attack to make the fatal blow.

The boar youkai looked at Kagome in horror. Before it died, it yelled,” Midoriko-sama!” The boar blew away as dust, leaving only the shard behind and a lot of confusion. Kagome went to purify and pick up the shard so she could put it with the others they had.

“Did he just call you Midoriko,” Inuyasha asked in bewilderment.

“Yea, I think he did,” responded Kagome in shock. They ran over to Miroku and Sango. Miroku, unbeknownst to Sango, who was over him, regained consciousness and took his change to cop a feel on Sango’s backside. She blushed deeply and then her face turned angry and she smacked his face.

“You hentai,” she shouted in anger. The rest of them sigh in annoyance, including Shippou who just joined back up with the group. Miroku opened his eyes and was feigning innocence, like nothing had happened.

‘Guess he’s back to normal,’ Kagome sighs. Just then Kenichi walked up to them.

“I pray that you exterminated the youkai,” the priest said.

“Hai, Kenichi-sama,” Kagome said cheerfully.

“Domo arigato! I don’t mean to intrude, but did you mention something about Midoriko-sama?”

“That youkai called me that, but I ‘m not her if that’s what you asking.”

“I’m sure you’re not. The miko visited our village once when my grandfather was the head-priest. She mentioned that she wrote scrolls about her travels. She wished for her predecessor to read them after she died.”

“And you think I’m her predecessor,” Kagome asked incredulously.

“Perhaps. According to my grandfather’s descriptions of her appearance, you match most of them.”

“Yes, I heard about the scrolls,” Sango spoke up. “She wrote entries about her battles and experiences. I imagine them to be useful to us if we read them, considering that she created the Shikon-no-Tama.”

“Keh! We don’t have time to look for scrolls of paper when we’re searching for what she created in the first place,” Inuyasha huffed.

“I’m not saying that you need them, but she wished for her reincarnation to read the scrolls. They are placed in her shrine in the Western Mountains, if you change your minds. Thanks again for saving our village. I’ll be off now,” he finished and walked off.

“I think we should search for them,” Miroku said from out of nowhere.

“Why the hell should we waste our time doing a stupid thing like that,” Inuyasha demanded.

“Thank about it Inuyasha,” Kagome suggested,” She might have written useful things about the creation of the jewel in there. She could have written how to increase miko strength if it’s addressed to the reincarnation of her.”

“You’re actually believe you’re her reincarnation?!”

“What if I was?! Even if I wasn’t, we could still read them! It might help us on our journey,” Kagome shouted, angrily.

“We can’t just drop everything and start searching for scrolls just based on assumption! Hell, we don’t even know if they exist,” the irate hanyou shouted back.

“Kagome does have a point, Inuyasha. We could search for the scrolls and the jewel shards at the same time,” Sango suggested.

“Besides, how will we know if they exist, if we don’t search for them,” Miroku added.

“I refuse,” Inuyasha says stubbornly.

“I’m going to look for them with Sango-chan and Miroku-sama whether you want to or not! You can just find shards on your own then. You can sense them right?”

Inuyasha just growled back. He knew she got him there.

“Fine,” he growled out,” but we search for the shards at the same time. If we can’t find the scrolls within two weeks, then we continue shard hunting.”

“Agreed,” Kagome said, now happy. She ran up to hug him. “Thanks Inuyasha!” he blushed deep red and lightly hugged Kagome back. She pulled away and blushed, realizing what she done. “Um, sorry…” she stuttered.

“I…it was nothing,” he said back, less gruff. The rest, witnessing this, smiled at the moment of sweetness.

“I wish they would get along like that all the time,” whispered Sango to Miroku.

“I agree,” he answered back. “Perhaps we should do that more often.” This remark caused her to blush. He then moved his hand down to his favorite spot on her and stroked, causing her to flush in anger.

“HENTAI,” she shouted, smacking his face. This caused Inuyasha and Kagome to face them, acting like nothing happened between them. “You always know how to ruin a good moment, don’t you,” she flares.

He only rubbed his face in bliss and responded,” I just couldn’t resist your charms.” She let out an inhuman growl and started walking ahead the rest of them with Kirara in her arms. The rest of them started walking behind her towards the direction of the Western Mountains.

Shippou only shook his head. “I can’t understand adults,” he muttered. He then jumped on Inuyasha’s head, in a way to annoy him.

“Get off of my head,” Inuyasha shouted, annoyed.

“Why were you blushing when Kagome hugged you,” Shippou asked out loud, pulling on his dog-ears.

“Why you…I wasn’t blushing,” the hanyou growled, trying to hide another blush. Inuyasha pulled Shippou off by his tail and hit him on his head, leaving behind a big bump. Shippou started crying and ran into Kagome arms.

“Kagome! Inuyasha’s being mean,” he cried on her. She threw him a glare and shouted,” Why did you hit Shippou-chan?!”

“He was annoying me,” he said crossing his arms. He instantly cringed for saying that.

“OSUWARI! He’s just a little kid! How many times do I tell you not to hit him?!” She heard a thump behind her and smirked along with Shippou. The rest kept walking, leaving him behind in the crater.

“Hey! Don’t leave me, bakas,” Inuyasha called after the spell wore off. He ran fast behind them.

And so the search begins, but who is that person watching them from afar?
