Chapter One
The Earth was in a time of darkness. Demons and Humans were living together, however, it was not always in peace. Demons were forced to live in secret. The humans were going through a time of strife. Food was scarce and more and more crops were failing. The humans didn't know what to do and of course they blamed the demons for all their problems. As a result a slave trade begun that sold demons.
There was a clan of demons close by a local village of Italian people. This clan of demons had a number of families living among them. One of these was the family of the demon Jisushika. She was a power warrior and thief. Also a mother to her young infant child and wife to her husband Kuno. They lived peacefully with their leader Denieru. Jisushika was a stunning demon female. She had long red hair with many bangs. Two went between her eyes and both sides of her face were many more. She had coal black eyes. Around her neck was a pearl necklace that she stole from a human village. She wears a black and red shirt. The collar, center and cuffs of her shirt were red. While only the sleeves themselves were black. In the center of the shirt was her name in Japanese written in black letters. She also wears black pants with a buckle belt.
Jisushika was normally a very peaceful demon however, when someone threatened her family or friends she would turn into a merciless killing machine. Jisushika was highly respected among the clan. Denieru had taken her in as his own daughter when humans struck down her parents.
Denieru came out from his room in the large cavern to see Jisushika taking care of her child. He smiled as he approached. " How are you doing this day?"
Jisushika was startled for only a moment. She turned her head and soon relax as she saw who it was. " I'm doing fine Master Denieru."
" How many times have I told you to stop calling me that. Its far to formal, we are like family."
Jisushika laughed. " That's right. I guess it's a old habit that dies hard."
" Indeed your right." Denieru sat down close to his adoptive daughter. He smiled as he saw the child. " She's growing up to be a beautiful woman just like her mother. I bet you that she will be just as strong."
" You flatter me Denieru. However, I must agree with you. My little girl will make this clan proud one day."
Denieru nodded. " You know my days are numbered. I will entrust the leadership role to you Jisushika."
Jisushika nodded. " I will not disappoint."
Denieru looked around. "Where is your husband? Off on another raid?"
" Yes he is. Food is growing harder and harder to find. Soon we will have to hunt people."
" As much as I would rather not revert to the old ways you are indeed correct Jisushika. We have as much right to food as the humans."
A strong scent of blood filled the cave. Denieru growled as he got wind of it.
" Humans…."
Jisushika eye's widened. " Are they coming here?"
" I'm not sure…. Remain here."
Jisushika nodded as she took hold of her baby girl. Denieru rushed off to the front of the cave to see where they were coming from. The demon leader peered out of the cave. There were a number of traders standing around the cave entrance. Some of the younger men were looking around and they saw various tracks coming and entering the cave. " Sir! I think we got something here."
An older trader came up to the younger ones. " What is it?"
A young blond hair boy pointed to the tracks. " Look here. There are tracks leading from and to this cave. There must be some demons here."
The older man smirked. " Good work… now we can make some profit. We will return tonight and claim some of these demons for our slaves."
The young boys smirked as they walked away with their teacher. " I can't wait to get back here and take those demons…. Scum of the earth… they deserve to serve us!"
Denieru watched as they walked off. ' How dare they! Why can't they let us be? All too often they come here and take members of my clan. This has got to stop!' When Denieru saw that the traders were gone he retreated into the cave. " Jisushika, its safe… they are gone."
Jisushika let out a sigh of relief. " That's good news. Traders I presume?"
" Yes, filthy pigs. They think they can use us for their needs."
" I know… you would think they would know how to live peacefully with us. Its not like we are causing them harm."
" It sickens me to think about how they treat our kind."
Jisushika suddenly got a flash back to when they took her parents. They had fought hard but in the end they were no match for their weapons. She remembered seeing their bodies torn to pieces and left to bleed to death. Jisushika was just a young girl then perhaps at the age of five. She remembered seeing her father's face and his last words to her, " Be strong… you must be strong my dear Jisushika."
Hot tears began to fall from her eyes. " It's not fair….why… why did they have to die?"
Denieru embraced Jisushika. " Calm down…. It's alright now. One day you will avenge them."
Kuro came running in a few moments later. His large wings were folded up behind his back. Kuro also had long black hair and were a pendent around his neck. His eyes were a dark blue. He also had big pointed ears coming out from a black hat. He wear tanish pants with a black vest like shirt which was held together by black sting. Around his arms were black markings. In his arms were different kinds of fruits. " Jisushika… nice to see you're well. I barely made it home without being spotted."
Jisushika nodded. " I know. The trader was around here too. I'm scared they might find us."
Kuro placed the food down. " Don't worry my dear wife… they won't…. and even if they do… we will stop them."
Jisushika nodded. " You're right. We will stop them."
Kuro started to peal the food he had brought home. He smiled as he sat down with his daughter in his arms. " Is my little girl hungry?" The tiny infant giggled as she lifted her small fingers up and took the food. " Thought you might like that."
Jisushika yawned. " It's been a long day… I think I will retire of the day."
Kuro frowned slightly. " Oh come on… aren't you going to give me any love?"
" If you come in bed I might think about it." Jisushika smirked. She was clearly teasing her husband.
Kuro smirked back. " I'll be right there… I could never could resist your beauty."
Jisushika laughed as she walked off to bed with her husband and son soon behind. She crawled under the skin, which was her blanket and waited for her husband. Kuro first placed his daughter down in her 'crib' and then went to his spot on the ground. He leaned over and started to kiss her. " I love you Jisushika."
Just then as the hour drew late, the traders came as promised. They swarm threw the cavern. Screams of woman could be heard. Jisushika and Kuro looked at each other with that concerned look. " Humans are here."
The two of them quickly ran to where the traders were. However, these men were ready. They had guns with darts full of a knock out drug. The traders smiled as they shot them both. Jisushika and Kuno both fell unconscious, the last thing they remember is hearing a dark laugh and the words, " You belong to us now."
To be continued…Hello everyone. This was a new idea that I started. Tell me what you think? Please review.
