The Demon Who Cared {Inuyasha x OC}

Dumb Crows, Dumber Kagome

Image is of Tora in her Human state on Full Moons. She normally has ginger/Copperish hair and wears it in a ponytail or Bun with her cat-like ears poking out on top.

Inuyasha might seem to be a bit OOC for the episode, but you have to remember, they are two half-demons who grew up differently. She doesnt look like Kikyo, and she's not a human. Theres no reason for him to be mean towards her. Not yet anyways.

I wake up still in the tree, the branches shielding my body from harm. Speckles of light filter through, alerting me to the new day. Slowly, I crawl through the branches and the leaves, wondering why no one came to help me out. 

Scratches litter my body, my clothes torn from the branches and the fall itself. Using my sword as a walking stick, I slowly make my way back to the village. 

When the first hut came into view, so did several people who instantly noticed my ginger hair and pointed ears. They ran over to me to help me walk to Kaede's house. 

"Tora, what happened to you?" Kage asked. 

"I was in one of those trees that Inuyasha cut down." I groan, the pain in my chest growing with each breath. I must have bruised a couple ribs.

"No one knew... you didn't scream!" I glance at Kage, his black hair looking far too shiny in the sunlight. 

"If I had screamed, Inuyasha would have killed me. It was better to stay quiet and hope for the best." He nods, understanding. Being a relative to Kikyo was dangerous, especially now that Inuyasha could move.

Finally reaching my grandmothers home, one of the men helping me runs inside. It's only moments before he's back out, with Kaede following him. She takes one look at me, shakes her head, then waves her hand, shooing the men away. Kage looks at me, almost not wanting to let me go. I send him a soft smile, and make my way into the hut. 

Inside, I see Kagome and Inuyasha. His scent fills my nose, strange and yet familiar. I sit down in my spot, which happened to be next to Inuyasha, as Kaede starts wrapping the worst of my wounds. I close my eyes, hiding the pain from my wounds being wrapped. 

Kagome is silent for once, which is shocking. I must have just missed something big. 

"Whatever you do Kagome, never let go of that Jewel. In the wrong hands, it could be the end of the world." I say, breaking the silence. "I'm sure Kaede has already told you, but it isn't just demons that want it. Humans too, will do unthinkable horrors just to get a shard of that. Greed is the nature of man." 

Inuyasha scoffs. "What would a lowlife Half-Demon like you know about it anyways?" Keeping calm like I was taught, I turn to him with my eyes open. 

"I was born here Inuyasha. Who else do you think protected your body from those who wished to do you harm? Many demons came, hoping to wake you, thinking you knew what happened to the Shikon Jewel." 

He sits up and crosses his arms, turning his head from me. "I didn't need your help."

I turn back to my original position. "Need it or not, you had it." A soft smile graces my lips. "Besides, who else would want to watch a mutt anyways?" Kaede turns around, having finished wrapping my wounds.

Inuyasha jumps up, Kagome shrinking back, not knowing what would happen. "Who are you calling mutt, you overgrown cat?!"

I turn to look at him, curious. "Cat? I was always told I was a dog. The things you learn." I stand up, bowing slightly to Kaede. "I need to go retrieve my bow. Thank you grandmother."

With my head held high, I force myself to walk normally, refusing to show any sort of weakness to Inuyasha. 

A while later I found myself in a tree, watching Inuyasha escape from the villagers, and coming straight for me.
