Rosie hater: Here is the first chapter of The One I found.
Ch. 1 - Encounter
"Get back here wench and give back Kikyo's soul!" A silver-haired hanyou chases a human girl. "When I catch you you're dead!"
"Please Inuyasha! Stop it!" The girl continues to run from him, her long black hair dancing in the wind behind her,
I said get back here!" He leaps at her and she dodges, but she gets her shoulder torn by his claws. "I got you now you stupid girl!" He swipes at her again and tares through her uniform shirt to pull back with bloody claws.
"Inu… yasha…" She drops to her knees in pain.
"Now I will force you to give back Kikyo's soul!" He goes to strike her again. She closes her eyes and waits. "What the?" A full-blooded youki appears in front of him and slaps his hand. "Get out of my way! That bitch is mine!"
"It is not nice to attack a defenseless woman." A cold voice states.
The girl on the ground opens her eyes and looks up to see a silver fox youki standing between her and Inuyasha. "…What… Who are you?"
"Get out of my way!" Inuyasha tries to pass him but fails. "That bitch is mine!" He points a finger at the human girl. "So move!"
The fox youki picks Inuyasha up by the neck with a deadly grip. "I wouldn't raise your voice at me if I were you."
"Momma!" A little orange kitsune runs out of the trees.
"I thought I knocked you out you stupid brat!" Inuyasha turns his attention to the little fox kit, having been dropped by the silver fox.
-Why did that kit call this woman his mother? She doesn't look like a kitsune.- The youki thinks to himself. -I will have to find out.-
"Chippo!" The girl behind him calls out in concern. "Run for it! Inuyasha's going to kill us! Get out of here and save yourself!"
Inuyasha charges at the kit.
"I'm not leaving you Momma! Fox fire!" Chippo tries to defend himself.
"Don't even think about it you stupid brat!" Inuyasha pulls his sword out of his sheath. "Tetsaiga!"
"NO!" The girl cries out, putting a hand forward. A huge blast of energy shoots past the fox youki and hits Inuyasha. The hanyou screams out in pain as he is slowly purified from the inside out. A few minutes later he's out cold on the ground in human form.
-What the hell was that?!- The fox youki wonders.
"Momma!" Chippo runs over and clings to the girl. "Why didn't you do that before? Then you wouldn't be hurt!"
"I'm sorry Chippo." A tear falls from her eyes. "But even though he had betrayed me to the dead miko, I had loved him. And when I saw you in danger the only thing I thought of was to protect you." She holds something in her hand and mumbles something under her breath. She starts to glow a light blue and then the brightness of the light continues to get stronger until the silver fox is forced to shield his eyes. When the light fades he opens his eyes to see not the girl he had saved, but a female kitsune standing before him holding the fox kit. She has light blue hair with silver highlights, blue ears and tail with silver tips. But her eyes are still the same dark brown as the girl's. "Thank you for helping me. Is there something I can do to repay you?"
-She's beautiful.- "What am I allowed to request?"
"Anything you wish. But you must tell me your name first."
"I am Youko, beautiful kitsune." He uses his demon speed to get really close to her. He kisses her gently on the lips before she has anytime to react to him being so close. A slight blush crosses her face, he steps back and pulls a rose out of his hair, handing it to her. "And I would like to request your broken heart."
"… I'm afraid that is one thing you can't have. I have to leave, I cannot stay here." She starts to fade.
"At least give me your name so I can see you again."
"Kagome." No sooner does she answer him, she fades away completely. Youko searches the area quickly but there is no sign of her and her kit. They've completely vanished without a trace.
"Kagome…" He muses. "I will find you. You will see me again. It's only a matter of time." He runs off.
(Elsewhere)
Kagome ends up at the bone eater's well. "Ready Chippo?"
"Ready Momma."
"Alright, here we go." She jumps into the well, holding him in her arms. They are transported to the future and climb out of the well. "I hope my Mom is home." She opens the door to the well house still carrying Chippo. They reach the house and Kagome unlocks the door so they can go inside. "I can't wait to tell my Mom that everything is over and-." She stops as she notices a note on the kitchen table. She slowly puts Chippo down.
"What is it Momma?"
"Why don't you go play upstairs in my brother's room."
"Ok Momma." Chippo runs upstairs, sensing Kagome's sadness and understanding her need to be alone. Kagome reaches over and grabs the note. She starts reading and silent tears start to fall from her face.
Dear Kagome,
I'm glad that you've finally come home. And I'm sorry that you must read this letter. We've moved to Osaka. This house and the shrine are now yours. Your 18th birthday is coming u; you are old enough to live on your own. Your school put up a missing person profile with the police and we were bombarded by a lot of people. I'm sorry we had to leave you and please know that I still love you. -Mom
"They left me…" She cries. "I at least hope they're happy…"
"What's wrong Momma?"
"They're not coming back."
"They abandoned us?" Chippo starts to cry.
"It's alright Chippo." Kagome hold him. "We'll be alright. I'll go back to school and get two jobs."
"What am I going to do?"
"You're going to start school."
"Are you sure we'll be ok Momma?"
"Don't worry, tomorrow I'll look for a couple of jobs."
"Alright. Momma you should smile!"
"Why's that Chippo?"
"Cause now you're a kitsune like me!"
She pulls out a mirror and looks at her reflection. "You're right!" She puts on a fake smile for him. "Why don't you go get ready for bed? I'll be up in a minute to tuck you in ok?"
"Alright Momma!" Chippo runs upstairs.
(Later that night)
Kagome is sitting in a field at the park down the road singing quietly to herself. In the next field over a certain male kitsune is playing with a giant sized Venus flytrap. It suddenly sprouts leaves and runs away from Youko. He sits there and watches it leave in bewilderment. -I did not just get dissed by a plant.- He thinks to himself. -I am the plant master, no one else.- So he follows the plant quietly. He stops at the top of the hill to hear someone singing. -Who is that?- He watches the plant go over to a female kitsune with blue hair and silver highlights. She smiles at it and pats it's head gently. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."
The girl's soft voice reaches Youko's ears and his eyes widen slightly. "It couldn't … could it?- He tries to sneak closer but it whacked in the face by the outstretched leaves of the very plant he was playing with earlier. "Ow!"
Kagome looks back and sees him. "Time to leave." Vines block his field of vision and when he is finally able to see again she's gone.
"Damn it!" He glares at the plant in front of him. "I wasn't going to hurt her! There was no need to hit me! And why would you run to her? I am the plant master!"
The plant looks at him oddly and then he smells salt in the air.
"…She was crying." He looks down at the plant again. "You were trying to comfort her, weren't you?" It nods slightly. "Where did she go?" The plant just looks at him awkwardly. "Well if you see her again, let me know." It shakes it's head at Youko. "What do you mean no? That's an order!" Youko leaves, trying to catch hold of her scent. "I finally found her and she's gone again. Well not this time. I've been waiting for 500 years. She will stay with me this time. I could learn to share the title of plant master if she stayed with me, by my side as my mate." He gives up trying to catch her and decides to return home for the night.
