Chapter 1

Flashback

I'd been traveling for days, I was getting exhausted because I was continually running into other demons that either knew me as a princess or knew me as an assassin. My left arm, for example, had been torn open by the claws of a large dragon demon. My right ankle was broken because of a battle with an ogre demon who'd wished to make me his lunch. I'd been spending my nights resting up in a camp or taking to the trees.

Somehow, I wound up in the lands of a powerful demon lord. My own demonic powers were low, so I had to rely solely on my fighting abilities, with my swords to help protect me from further harm.

The swords I had were the 'Twin Swords of Esca.' My father, Lord Raishiku, had issued the sword smith, Totosai, to make them once I had reached the proper age to begin my strict training in the art of assignation, as the only heir to the Eastern Lands, among others things as well. Recently, my father arranged for me to marry a demon known as Naraku, in order to bring peace between our lands and his.

On the day I was to be wed, I ran from Naraku, my father, and my home. I ran for my life because I had secretly spied on Naraku and heard his insidious plot of what he planned to do to me and our lands once we were wed, peace treaty or not. Naraku was outraged when he found out that I had run, and he waged war on the lands. Even my father, strong as he was, could not keep all of Naraku's demons at bay for long. But, I did not happen to notice a couple of Naraku's demons slinking for the shadows of the boundaries with orders from Naraku to capture me and take me to him. Then, before I knew what was happening, they burst from the shadows, grabbed me and took me to Naraku.

When I came face to face with him, he told me that if I were to wed him, he would tell his demons to cease their wrath of destruction. The fears and doubts of what would happen to our lands, myself, and everyone who live in our lands, raced through my mind. I bowed my head in defeat, murmuring that I would marry him. I knew, that if I refused, the lands would be destroyed, the people slain. But, instead of telling his demons to cease the destruction, he told them to have fun destroying it all, and slaying anyone they came across. I opened my mouth to protest but, quietly shut it as I began to imagine what Naraku might do to me if I spoke in protest.

Soon, all that remain of the once bountiful eastern lands were smoking huts and smoldering, blacken, patches of land. My mind screamed and cried in protest and in grief. But, for my safety, I kept my mouth shut and my face masked. After many days and nights of traveling, we reached his castle. As soon as we landed, he placed up a barrier coated with his miasma. He soon dismissed the demons and a malicious smile came upon his face. It was then that he told me that he was going to claim me as his. I shook my head in refusal and told him that I had agreed only to wed him and that I would never be his to claim. He laughed his eyes hard and cold. It almost seemed as if they would bore a hole in me, exposing my soul. And, as quickly as his insidious laughter had started, it stopped. He told me that I didn't have a choice. Because I had agreed to wed him, I had also agreed that I was his for all eternity, he told me. I quivered in fear at the thought of his hands touching my body. I almost began to sob as he brought me to his personal quarters.

Sadly, since he'd dismissed the other demons earlier, there was no one to stop him. Silently, I began to pray and wish that I might be able to die before he tried to claim me. My prayers and wished went unheeded.

Itook it upon myself then, to free myself from him. So I slashed him with my claws and began to run. I made it out of the barrier and was about to hide in the neighboring forest, when he swooped down and captured me again. As soon as we entered his castle again, he knocked me back and began to brutally beat me. He was angered by my defiance and cut me deeply from my shoulder to my stomach. He laughed again, picking me up by my hair and dragged me down to my 'room' that could have easily been mistaken as a dank, dark, damp, dungeon, if not for the makeshift bed in the corner. He roughly tossed me inside the room and locked the door. It was that that the tears I had held in, silently began to flow freely, offering the only source of warmth. I asked the great gods why I was being punished so. I pushed myself off of the cold stone floor, ignoring the pain emanating from my wound, and slowly made my way over to the makeshift bed, slumping down on it. I don't know how long I laid there, curled up and crying, but I did eventually fall asleep. I know this because I was rudely awakened by someone. It was too dark to see their face, but as the person spoke, I noticed that it was a woman's voice.

I remember seeing a woman earlier and I concluded that it must be her who was speaking. She told me that Naraku wished to see me. I masked my face and kept my eyes on the ground as she took me to him. This happened for a full year, but, everything changed one night after I was tossed down to my 'room' when Naraku was finished with me, for the time being. I decided that I'd had enough. I wasn't going to take it any more.

I told my self that it was the night that I would finally free myself from his grasp. But, the one thing that troubled me the most was the barrier. I had made it through once before, but Naraku had reinforced it since then. I squared my shoulders and told myself that I'd take that chance if it meant that I would be free from him. So I gathered up what I had, including the swords and other weapons I hid, and sneaked out of his castle unnoticed. I quickly came up to the barrier, pausing a moment to ready myself. I took a deep breath, squeezed my eyes shut, and ran through the barrier. I slowly opened my eyes and looked down at myself; I was still intact, which was a great relief to me. I quickly positioned my swords and others weapons for easy access, before I left the grounds, Naraku's castle fading in the distance. And so I began my long journey.
