Chapter one: Meet Sakura

Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippo were gathered around the Bones Eater well. They were awaiting the return of Kagome from the present. They had recently finished another battle with Naraku and Kagome had returned to the present to catch up on tests and restock. She had mentioned to them earlier that she might take a little longer than usual. Inuyasha was pissed at the fact that Naraku had escaped once again at the brink of death. He sat in a willow tree sighing and grumbling about how Kagome was taking to long in the present.
“Relax Inuyasha,” Miroku said. “Even If Kagome doesn’t take a lot of time, we need to wait till Sango returns before we go anywhere.”
“Yea whatever,” Inuyasha said turning his back to them. It had been exactly one year since the destruction of Sango’s village and Sango had left the group in order to pay her respect to her deceased comrades and family, and the others had no idea when she might return.
‘That Inuyasha,’ Shippo thought, ‘He has no respect for others feelings, he only thinks about gathering the jewel shards. Still I hope Kagome and Sango return soon,’ he thought with a sigh.
Meanwhile in the Inuyasha forest a young girl ran through the woods. “Come here little girl,” a demon said. “We promise to kill you quickly and painlessly,” a second one sneered. The girl looked back, “Nyaa” she said sticking out her tongue. This infuriated the demons. “Fine then we will eat you piece by piece.” The first one sneered angrily. The girl tripped on a root and fell. A scream pierced the noon air. . .
“Did you here that?” Inuyasha said his ears perked. He sat up his hand on the Tetsaiga.
Miroku nodded, “sounds like some ones being attacked by demons,” he said. Inuyasha jumped down from the tree and darted through the woods. He followed the sent of the demons until he saw the two of them surround what to appear to be a dome made of tree roots. “What the-“ he said shocked by the sight. The two demons smiled at Inuyasha’s presences. “Looks like we not only get the flesh of a young girl but that of a puny hanyou too,” the leader said. A vein popped on Inuyasha’s forehead. “Puny ey?” he said. He dashed in front of them and sliced through them with the Tetsaiga. “Impossible!’ one of them squealed as they fell sliced in two. “Humph,” he said resting the Tetsaiga on his shoulder.
“Well done Inuyasha,” Miroku said upon arriving, Shippo riding on his shoulder. “Where’s the girl?” he asked looking around. Inuyasha’s sniffed the air. “I think she’s in there,” he said pointing to the root dome. Miroku walked over. “What is this thing?” Shippo asked hiding behind Miroku’s legs. “Some kind of capture chamber I think,” Miroku said. “I don’t know, but whatever it is it’s about to be cut opened.” Inuyasha said. Inuyasha swung the Tetsaiga over his head and down at the roots. However, just as it was about to hit the roots the roots unraveled and returned underground. Inuyasha stopped himself just before slicing through a woman’s body.
The woman’s eyes fluttered as she awoke. Inuyasha who was standing over her asked, “Are you ok?” the girl’s eyes shot opened, as she grabbed a stick on the ground and smacked him on the head with it. “Get away from me demon,” she yelled as she held the stick up defensively. She spotted Miroku and she lowered her stick. “I’m sorry,” she said as she bent down in a bow “I thought you were the demon who attacked me earlier,” she explained. She tried to stand but fell. She winced in pain and rubbed her ankle. She was about 5’ 8” and had long brown hair that was tied into two pigtails. She wore a kimono with a pink top and a floral skirt. She appeared to be around 18. Miroku walked to her and bent down. “Is it broken?” she asked him. “I don’t think so,” he said. It appears just to be twisted,” he said. She let out a sigh of relief. Miroku helped her up. “I’ll escort you to Kaede’s village,” he said. She smiled. “Thank you,” she said. “And by the way my name is Sakura.” He smiled “You may call me Miroku,” he said. “And he is Inuyasha, and that’s Shippo,” he said pointing at them. Inuyasha heard the bushes rustle he went to investigate but found nothing. In the tree two bright red cat eyes stared down at the four of them silently following them.
After they arrived at the village, Miroku dropped Sakura off at Kaede’s Hut. Kaede examined Sakura’s leg. “Doesn’t appear to be hurt that badly,” she said. “Just stay off it for a day or so and it should be good as new” she said. Sakura smiled “thank you,” she said as Kaede stepped out of the hut to get a bandage for her foot. Sakura turned to Miroku, “and thank you,” she said I don’t know where I would be if you guys hadn’t shown up,” she said slightly sarcastically though Miroku didn’t notice. “If there is anything I could do for you, just tell me,” Miroku got a perverted smile on his face, “well there is one thing,” he said. He held both her hands “would you bear my children?” he asked her sheepishly. Shippo jumped on his head. “You’ll have to forgive Miroku,” he said. “He asked this to every pretty girl he meets.” But Sakura couldn’t hear him. She fainted from shock and disgust.
