InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Tragic Demise ❯ Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

Dodging the deadly spiked tail of the serpent youkai, Kagome notched an arrow and let it fly. As the arrow began it's trek towards the shards embedded in the serpent, a strong gust of wind, seemingly from nowhere, hit the arrow knocking it off, it's, for once, lethal, dead on course.

"Inuyasha! Look out!"

Turning towards the obviously upset voice of Kagome, he turned just in time to see the arrow headed towards him, on a path that would surely pierce his heart, and dodged at the last minute, the arrow catching him in the right arm.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome cried out in terror as she ran to his aide.

"STOP!" he angrily called out, just before she reached his side. "Are you stupid? Stay back!"

"Inuyasha" she breathed, "I'm so sorry, I was only trying to help."

Slowly standing in an upright position, he ripped the arrow head off, and savagely ripped the arrow out of his arm.

"Fuck you wench! I didn't ask for your help in the first place!" Inuyasha yelled vehemently over his shoulder at Kagome as he cradled his arm tightly to his side, glaring back at Kagome.

"Really Inuyasha! How was I supposed to know that the arrow would get blow off course?! I'm only human!"

"Feh, well that's your problem bitch! You're only human!" he sneered.

Her eye ticked in annoyance and anger. "Wh- Look out!" What ever she had been about to say in her venom laced voice was cut off with an exclamation of urgency and worry. The snake youkai had taken those vital seconds the couple had spent arguing to gather its wits from the beating it was recieving and moved to the offensive. Inuyasha had only a split second to react and just barely avoided getting one of the razor sharp spikes from the snake's tail through his stomach.

"Sankon Tesusou!"

With one mighty swipe of his claws he finally managed to obliterate the pesky snake. As pieces of the shard carrying youkai rained down on the area, Inuyasha clutched his arm, groaning in pain and fell to his knees.

"Damn wench, I think your fucking arrow is trying to purify me," he muttered, Kagome barely catching that he even said anything.

(Can you feel that?

Oh shit)

"What?" Kagome replied as she tentively approached Inuyasha. As she uttered those words Inuyasha's head snapped up and for a moment Kagome could have sworn that his eyes were crimson, but that was impossible because he still had Tetsusaiga.

(Drowning deep in my sea of loathing,

Broken your servant I kneel,

[Will you give in to me])

Just as Kagome was about to say the subduing spell, his eyes returned to their normal golden coloring.

(It seems what's left of my human side

Is slowly changing in me

[Will you give in to me])

"Feh! What's the matter wench?" the disgruntled hanyou asked as the frightened aura quickly faded and turned to that of relief.

"N-nothing!" she stammered nervously, still not sure as to what she saw. 'What's going on?' she thought frantically.

"Feh, whatever, bitch. Just find the shards so we can go home."

Scanning the area, she found the shards and extricated them from the still smoking carcass of the snake youkai.

"I found them!!" she cried out happily, turning towards her hanyou love who was still clutching his arm, grimacing from the pain.

"Yea whatever bitch, lets just go already."

"I have a name you know!" she suddenly burst out. Normally his name-calling didn't bother her, but for some reason it was really starting to irritate her today.

"What's your point wench?"

Once again her eye twitched in irritation and this time she gave into the urge to subdue the arrogant hanyou.

"Oswari!" she yelled multiple times, ensuring that by the time she reached the well the spell would just then be wearing off.

"Bastard! I'm going home, so don't even think about coming after me! I'll be back in a week," she yelled over her shoulder as she jumped down the well, tears streaming down her face.

(Looking at my own reflection

When suddenly it changes

Violently it changes)

Slowly the enraged hanyou lifted his head revealing blood red eyes, purple streaks running down both sides of his face and a predatory, evil smirk. Swiftly he rose, following her scent back to the well.

(There is no turning back now

You've woken up the demon in me)
