Legend: ' ' _ Thoughts " "_ Dialogue
A lone rider sped down the grassy hills. He rode through the countryside, coming at last to a village. Inside, he went straight to the council house. He dismounted at the entrance.
Inside, he bowed to the five elders. He then announced, "The half-demon Inuyasha has pillaged another village yesterday. He is almost here. Only two more villages stand between us and him."
The middle elder said, "The situation is grave. We should prepare ourselves. He should be able to get here by the end of the month."
"Yes. I will announce to the people to be on guard." The rider bowed and left the room.
The rider walked to the shrine. Inside, Kikyou, dressed in red and white priestess clothes, was meditating. "Um, excuse me, lady priestess."
Kikyou turned around and stood up. She asked, "Yes? What do you need?"
"The elders sent me to inform you that the half-demon Inuyasha is coming this way. You should prepare yourself to battle him." The rider informed. "The elders predict he will be here by the end of the month. That is all."
"Thank you," Kikyou said. The rider left the room. 'The new moon is but a fortnight away. I should start preparing.' Kikyou thought. She went over to the archery range. About two hundred yards away was a target. Kikyou picked up a bow and arrows. She notched the arrow into the bow. Kikyou pulled back, and releasing a breath, she let go off the arrow. It gracefully split the air, and implated itself directly onto the bullseye. Kikyou repeated, and split the first arrow in two. And she did so over and over.
The red blur ran through the trees. He could start to feel the energy of the Shikon no Tama. The last two villages were not the one. It would most likely be this one. 'Shikon no Tama I am coming!'
Kikyou walked down the road. 'The area is filled with a dark presence. Something is not right.' She clutched her bow just to be safe. 'Could it be that mysterious demon they say?'
"Lady Kikyou!" a voice shouted. A man ran up to her.
"What is the problem?"
"An outpost was just attacked. The only survivor said it was the demon Inuyasha! He is safe now. You need to be on guard."
"Lead me to this survivor." Kikyou commanded. The man just nodded and led them to a hut. Inside was a wounded soldier lying on a tatami mat. She kneeled down and observed the soldier. "You are hurt, but not bad. You will survive."
The soldier groaned. He opened his eyes, then exclaimed, "Lady Priestess! We were attacked by the demon Inuyasha. He is most likely resting now. But soon he will attack. The outpost was not far from here!"
"Calm down. I am aware of the demon Inuyasha. You need your rest."
At that moment, Kaede ran in. "Big Sister! A demon is attacking the village! They need help!"
Kikyou nodded. She picked up her black bow and her arrows and ran out of the hut. She headed towards the town gate. In the distance she could already see flames. The wooden gate was knocked down, and the defense posts were burning. Nobody was left alive. The stench of death filled the air. Kikyou grimaced at the smell, and placed the sleeve of her shirt over her nose. She ran towards the shrine. Kikyou wondered 'This demon is very strong for a half blood. Should I worry? What if- KIKYOU. Get a grip on yourself. You need to be brave!'
'Here it is!' Inuyasha thought. He saw the gates. There were soldiers on the top of the wall. The fired arrows at him. He dodged them all. Then he punched the gate, which splintered instantly. He jumped up, and used a claw attack at the soldiers. He then used the Iron Reaver Soul Stealer on the defense posts.
Soldier swarmed at him. He ran through the soldiers, killing them. One of them said to a little girl, "Kaede, get your sister the priestess!"
'So they are sending a mere priestess against me? I will kill her and throw her body into the pile of corpses.' Inuyasha thought. He decided to leave the girl. Inuyasha killed the soldier. A few more came from behind. He shattered them with the Soul Stealer attack.
Inuyasha jumped up into the air. On the ground was a girl dressed in white and red armed with a bow. 'I'll kill her later. Kill villagers first, steal Shikon second.' He thought that this priestess would be no challenge.
Inuyasha decided to wipe out a section of the village. Kikyou, however, was waiting for him to steal the jewel.
Inuyasha ran up the steps. On top, waiting, was a priestess, bow in hand. 'She's pretty. Shame I'll have to kill her.' Inuyasha stood before her. She asked, "Half-demon Inuyasha, what is your purpose in getting the Shikon Jewel?"
Inuyasha scowled, and said, "Priestess, I am a half demon. You should know that half bloods are discriminated. I'll take the jewel and make myself into a full-fledged demon."
Kikyou thought, 'So he's alone. And kinda cute. And those ears- KIKYOU! What is wrong with you. How can a demon affect you so much? Kill him!'
"My name is Kikyou. I am here to stop you! Prepare to die half-demon Inuyasha!" Kikyou proclaimed.
Inuyasha charged. Kikyou fired an arrow at him. He blocked it. As Inuyasha was about to dig his claws into Kikyou's chest, she fired an arrow into his arm. He jumped back and held his arm. "BITCH! Die!" Inuyasha tried to Soul Stealer her, but she avoided it, barely missing it by an inch.
'He is good! But I can't be defeated by him!' Kikyou assured herself. Inuyasha took the offensive and swiped at her, but she jumped back. Kikyou fired a purified arrow, but Inuyasha dodged it barely. 'Gods, how strong is she!? Well, I probably can kill her anyway. That bitch...' Inuyasha charged again.
This time he slashed at her stomach, bringing three red horizontal marks across her. She tried to move back, but she hit the shrine house wall. Inuyasha stood in front of her, smirking. "It seems like I got you now." Inuyasha said.
'Oh Gods. I don't want to die now. No...' Kikyou thought. 'Should I beg for my life? Will he even give it after the damage I caused?'
Inuyasha sniffed the air. 'So she's scared, eh? Well, even if she's going to beg, I'm killing her anyway.' Inuyasha charged at her, claws ready to strike. Kikyou closed her eyes tightly and pulled an arrow into her bow. She then fired blindly. 'Am I dead?' She opened her eyes, and saw Inuyasha kneeling over. He had an arrow impaled in his abdomen.
'Stupid bitch!' Inuyasha was about to kill her when he felt something poke his back. He turned around and saw armed villagers. They had swords, spears, and arrows pointed at him. "Shit..."
A/N: Kikyou survives by chance. And Inuyasha's captured! What will happen next? Will Inuyasha be killed? Will he escape and kill them all. Will you review? And the part about Kikyou planning to beg for her life, who said she was tough? Remember, this is Kikyou as a living girl, not a walking sandbag.
