Salvation - Prologue
Between the darker then
usual moonless night, and the dense fog, Inuyasha’s usual ‘human night
paranoia’ was ten times worse. He glanced around at his sleeping
companions, mostly sleeping anyways.
Even with human eyes, he could see Miroku’s hand slowly creeping toward Sango’s
turned back.
He smiled, before being alerted to a small feminine grunt from his left, and
noticed Kagome attempting to crawl from her bag. He frowned at the strange
stiffness in her step, but pegged that down to sleepiness.
“Oi, where are you going, you know better then to go off on our own?”
“I have to pee, unless you
want to come hold my hand?” She replied sarcastically, but her voice lacked her
usual emotion.
He shivered at the
similarity between her voice and Kikyo’s just then, but again shook it off,
putting it down to sleep induced grumpiness.
“Feh, fine. Call if you need any help.”
“Hey! You said yes
remember!” Miroku voice suddenly carried from across the dieing campfire.
“Yes I did, but NOT before
our wedding,” Sango yelled, scooting like a caterpillar away from Miroku,
giving the monk with a handprint on his cheek, and a death glare the whole
way.
“Hope you know what you’re
getting into, Monk,” Inuyasha muttered under his breath. Even in his Hanyou form, he’d never admit
it, but here fully human he couldn’t help but be amused by the couple’s antics.
“Inuyasha!” Shippo pounced
from inside Kagome’s sleeping bag.
“Don’t you smell that?” He quickly
added, receiving a small ‘Keh’ in reply.
The dark haired boy glanced
down at the small demon cub, “Forget something, brat?”
“Something’s out there,”
Shippo whimpered, “and it doesn’t smell like a nice thing either.”
Inuyasha’s hackles rose at the mention of
it and stood up, gripping the handle of Tetsusaiga instinctively.
“Which way?”
“That way!” Shippo’s
trembling finger pointed in the exact same direction Kagome walked off.
“Shit, Kagome!” Inuyasha’s
eyes widened before turning to his other two companions.
“Hey, you two, get up! Kagome might be
in trouble!”
Miroku was the first to
react and grabbed a large stick from the fire and held it up as a torch. “Inuyasha,
you should stay here,” he said as he and Sango readied themselves before
following the trail Kagome traveled down.
“Like hell I’m staying
here!” Inuyasha barked angrily, drawing the rusty-bladed Tetsusaiga as if it
was an intimidating sight.
“Suit yourself, lets just
get moving.” Sango replied, as the three, four if you count Shippo still
clinging to Inuyasha’s arm, ran down the barely traveled trail.
Upon the Kitsune’s
directions, the group finally discovered a large open clearing.
“Kirara?” Sango alerted as the massive transformed demon cat stood between a
seemingly entranced Kagome and a towering man cloaked in darkness, but still
noticeable. His attire was of a nobleman’s, from the look of his fancy suit to
the long flowing cloak that draped over his broad looking shoulders.
Kirara, with a angry roar
dove at the man, but seemed to hit a visible wall before flying backwards
several feet, splintering a tree on impact.
“Pathetic beast!” The man said dully, not taking his eyes off Kagome.
“Kagome, get away from
him!” Inuyasha ordered, glaring daggers at the stranger.
“Kagome shall do as she
pleases, halfling.” The stranger sneered, finally looking up at the group.
“What the hell do you
want?” Inuyasha growled lowly, drawing the man’s attention away from Sango and
Miroku as they attempted to flank him.
“Where are my manners,
allow me to introduce myself. I am Count Marcus Lee of the noble House of Lee.”
He smiled with a small bow.
“And you.. You are all trespassing on part of my lands. So you must now pay a
price for this.”
“Sorry, we’re kinda running
low on funding,” Inuyasha smirked, and risked a quick glance toward the Count’s
left and right.
‘They’re almost there, just have to buy a few more seconds.’
“Think you can let us go or maybe let us set up a payment plan or
something?” He continued, never letting
down his guard.
The Count did not seem amused with the hanyou’s antics.
“Currency holds no meaning
for me, hanyou,” he calmly replied. “My previous bride was murdered by an
accursed hunter.”
And now, I long for a new one. I’m sure you agree, halfling, My Lady Kagome
would make a fine bride.”
“Stay the hell away from
her!!” Inuyasha growled stepping toward them with the Tetsusaiga still
untransformed and baring no threatening qualms.
Just then a small smile
grew at the sudden movements of Miroku and Sango, simultaneously making their
moves and attempting to tackle the stranger on both sides. But just as they
made contact with his body, Lee vanished leaving Sango and Miroku to collide
and fall to the ground a tangled mess or arms and legs.
“Akk! KAGOME!” Shippo
cried, only his demon eyes were able to see the blur of Count Lee’s movements
as he moved toward Kagome.
“What? Where’d they go?”
Inuyasha looked around the field in panic.
12.0pt;font-family:Verdana;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>“Bastard! I’m going to kill
you!!” Inuyasha screamed, running even faster.
“Kagome, my love.” The
Count softly spoke and pulled away from Kagome’s now bleeding neck.
“Stop him for me.” His whisper awakened her as she numbly
nodded in reply and pulled the bow and arrow she had taken with her for
protection, and turned it upon Inuyasha.
The hanyou turned human
suddenly had a painful flashback. Seeing Kagome with her bow and arrow pulled
back and aimed at him, in this moment, only Kagome’s clothing from the future
made her different from Kikyo.
Then, with only a moment’s hesitation, she let the arrow go. It shot toward
Inuyasha, hissing through the air as it spiraled with miko energy.
Inuyasha’s eyes widened as
sharp pain pushed at his shoulder, sending him tumbling to the ground with a
yelp.
“Hmm, I had assumed you
would kill him..” Count Lee mused, looking at the half conscious dark-haired
human who was now gasping for breath.
“Ah well, we must meet with the others in order to finish your turning, and as
quickly as possible, my love. Come, let us depart.” His smooth voice ushered
and pulled hn asn as his cloak wrapped around the still entranced Kagome,
before they both disappeared into the quiet of the night.
“K-Kagome …” Inuyasha
breathed before unconsciousness overtook him.
---
“Miroku! Sango! He’s coming
too!”
Inuyasha forced his eyes to open, to see Kirara and Shippo gazing down upon
him.
“Excellent timing, it’s
almost sunrise.” He heard Sango say from his left; the young demon-huntress was
checking the wrapping on Miroku’s injured arm as she glanced down at the
hanyou.
“Where’s Kagome?” Inuyasha
gritted, sitting up, already feeling the effects of the sunlight hitting his
human body.
“That Count guy took her!!”
Shippo squeaked with worry.
“Now that your half demon again, you can kick his ass with Tetsusaiga!” He said
with chlikelike pride.
Inuyasha nodded as his
demon blood returned to his veins, bringing with it his animal-like senses.
“Try to keep up.” He turned his
attention back to his other companions.
With that said he didn’t
give Miroku and Sango time to prepare as he leapt into the air, with Shippo
clinging to his silver hair. The half
demon jumped from treetop to treetop-following Kagome’s scent as best he could.
“They couldn’t have gotten that far!” Inuyasha growled as he landed on a tree
limb to sniff the air. It was apparent this Count Lee was in fact a vampire, so
he couldn’t travel by day because of their weakness to the sun.
He looked around for any signs of undergrowth, knowing that the Count would
need somewhere dark to rest. His nose picked up on her scent once more and not
far from where they were.
“They’re in there!” The
hanyou proclaimed, jumping down to an entrance of a large cave.
“Shouldn’t we wait for the
others?” Shippo uncertainly asked from Inuyasha’s shoulder.
“Keh!” The Inu-hanyou
replied and drew a transformed Tetsusaiga before him, and glanced up at the
cub.
“No, I don’t need their help to rescue the wench.”
Shippo blinked for a
moment, the way Inuyasha said ‘wench’ made it sound more like how Sango
calls Miroku ‘Hoshi-sama’ then how Inuyasha usually cursed Kagome.
Shippo didn’t have a chance
to think about it in much detail as Inuyasha made his way into the cave so fast
it almost knocked him off his shoulder.
Inuyasha ran deeper into
the cave, discovering it was actually a tunnel more then a cave. ‘Not a
problem, just follow Kagome’s scent and I’ll find them!’ He thought and
continued down the rocky corridor.
“… damn it …”
He stopped and glanced down
at six separating paths, each with the same amount of Kagome’s scent traveling
down them.
“We’ll never find her …”
Shippo choked down a sob as he sat down roughly.
Inuyasha just glanced down
at the handle of Tetsusaiga. “Don’t say that brat!” He scolded, closing his own
eyes.
“We will find Kagome … no matter how
long I takes.”
