Fire

by KenniScarlett

Obviously I don't own Inuyasha. There's a fire within her. It burns deep and covers every inch of her soul. It's consumes everything she does. She has so much passion...I want her to be mine. I must have her...

1. Chapter 1

Smoke. I smell smoke. Lots of it. Enough to rouse me from my sleep.

I open my eyes and see an orange glow coming under the shade covering the door of my shack. I know what that glow and the smoke means. It means that it has finally begun.

I cast a glance at the small, sleeping child next to me. My heart begins to ache. I know that soon, I will no longer be here for that little girl. My end is near and my daughter will be alone.

I moved to gently lift her and stepped out the door. I turned to my left towards a hidden doorway beyond the brush. I swiftly moved inside and went down the dim steps to an open cavern below that was lit by glowworms. I moved through that cavern quietly into a small cellar-like room furnished with a sleeping pallet and food, enough for a few months.

"Hinata, you can come now." I turned, a young woman with long black hair and black eyes stepped out of the shadows and into the room with the child. "Do exactly as we discussed. Protect her and watch over her. You are to stay here for three months until it is completely safe to come out."

"Yes, Priestess." The sixteen year old went and sat next to the sleeping child, being careful not to wake her.

I placed a barrier around them and began walking away, remembering the day I found my daughter.
