Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Encounters and Misencounters 2

Advancing long distances thanks to the strength put into his footsteps, a slender young man with long silver hair, on which grows a pair of ears of the same color, runs under the moonlight. 

The young man wears a fire-red hakama and kitoe, at the same time carrying another person on his back, more precisely a young lady. 

"Kagome, it was unnecessary for you to come. I can take care of everything."

Though his words were cynical and even a bit proud, a few small notes of concern blossomed in them, as he spoke to the girl on his back. 

"Even though they have been standing still, we don't know when or if they will start moving and then how you will follow them. Besides, here is Shippo to help me. right Shippo?"

"¡Sure Kagome!"

Responding to the determined voice that didn't seem to come from such a young girl, there was a small boy, though he had certain non-human features like a tail and fox paws. 

This boy keeps a firm grip on the red cloth, which is on the beast boy's shoulder section, and puts on an expression that makes him look very confident.

"Shippo, that midget?"

"Better than you flea dog, you don't seem to understand that you need Kagome to follow the shards."

The silver colored ears above the young man's hair twitch slightly, while one of his fists clenched as if he wanted to punch someone. 

This action is forgotten when he stops his movement, then to the surprised look of the group, one of his hands slaps his wardrobe and then opens it in front of himself.

"Myoga, you scary flea... What are you doing here?"

Inside his palm, a small flea yokai with the appearance of a grandfather is found. This occurrence attracts everyone's attention equally, almost as if they can't believe he is here and this is further demonstrated by their expressions of pure doubt. 

"Master Inuyasha, how can you think that your faithful servant would stand idly by as you run towards danger? On the other hand, I think I sense a familiar presence from that place."

Placing a finger in his mouth and blowing inward, he changes from a flat state like a pancake, to a completely normal body. 

Followed by this he begins to speak, though he is answered by Shippo whom Inuyasha hits on the head thus scratching the itch in his fist, causing Kagome to scold him. 

The group of friends continued with this kind of attitude for quite some time, on the other hand.... 

...Christopher pov…

"Why don't they come..."

Staring at the moon with lost eyes, I begin to doubt life, my purpose, the universe and hidden truths... Well, no. My only thoughts are how hard I'm going to hit them if that cloud covers the moon and ruins my finely prepared scene. 

"Maybe you should go find them."

"No, Saya, no! This is now a matter of principle!"

Responding to Saya, who is hovering next to me, I start to tighten the grip of Clouded Fang and look at the moon that is close to being covered... Until they arrived! Or did it arrive? 

"Die!!!"

Leaping into the air from the surrounding forest, shouting loudly and with a sword that was of enormous size, a young man appears. He wears red, with long silver hair and has dog ears on his long hair. 

In my mind things happened like why doesn't he follow the script, who the hell attacks a stranger without talking first? And many other things. But that didn't make my reaction slow by a long shot. 

Spinning on myself I was left staring into his golden eyes, before a combination of five golden tails hit him on the right side, sending him flying back into the forest.

*Boooom*

"Inuyasha x2"

Running from the shadows of the surrounding forest and approaching the cloud of smoke that Inuyasha is in, appears... A schoolgirl with a tanuki on her head? What the hell is going on here. 

I was so shocked by the sight that when I came to, I was already standing on the ground watching those two help Inuyasha stand up, even though he didn't need it. Now that I look at her more calmly and without any obstacles in my line of sight, she looks familiar... Those facial features, black hair and even height. 

"Bah, you just caught me off guard, where are the shards Kagome?"

"She has two, Inuyasha. Both are embedded in her forehead."

Watching as Inuyasha shakes his head and stands up as if nothing had happened to him, I was briefly amazed at his physical endurance. On the other hand, about that girl named Kagome being the reincarnation of Kikyo, I could see it coming. 

"Here I come!"

"Why do you say that?"

Noticing that he shouts that he is going to attack me, I couldn't stand it and I answer him with the first words that come to my mind. The truth makes him even more angry, causing him to increase his running speed, before attempting a diagonal cut. 

It was a cut without any kind of technique, it was just a rudimentary sword swing. Knowing that, he avoided it by taking a step backwards and then created a fan-shaped burst of flames forward. 

"Sure, he's immune to fire."

Inuyasha goes through the flames as if they were nothing to worry about, plus followed by that, he launches a horizontal slash towards me. Seeing that it was impossible to stop with my tails, he countered it by unsheathing Clouded Fang and went into a pure force clash from which I came out badly. 

"Hehe, now you don't look so strong. If you hand over the shards to me, I might consider letting you go due to you being the same race as Shippo."

Looking at the ground, I can see the drag marks that my feet created due to the blocking of his attack. It was about 5 or 8 meters, proving that he is physically stronger or that his sword is superior in physical attack... Not that it matters right now. 

As I look up I notice a smile growing on his face, as he places his sword over his shoulder and compares me to that raccoon. Giving the hilt a few squeezes, he hits the ground hard, reaching the side where he holds the sword, though again I'm surprised by his physical capabilities and we enter into a clash of strength again.

"You've already lost to me in strength, why do you think you'll win now?"

His proud voice stung my ears, making me want to stab him more and more, though I couldn't do that. So I wag my tails to try to skewer him, to which he responds by ceasing to apply force in our clash and lets himself be pushed back, so as to get a good distance from where I am.

Seeing it retreat, he lifted Clouded Fang into the air quickly, causing the red strands to emerge from its blade and slammed it forward. 

The reddish bolt of energy races across the ground, destroying everything in front of it and within moments, it manages to impact Inuyasha. 

*boom*

"Inuyasha!"
