Hey everyone this is my first fan fiction story I've made so I'm eager to hear some reviews, the story is in one person view, I don't own any of the Inuyasha characters or the story of Inuyasha though I do own my own made up characters Akira (The Main Character - A wolf demon/Priestess), Akira's parents (Kentaro and Michiko), Akira's brothers (Toshio, Isamu) and Takara. Thanks and I hope you enjoy, please let me know if you would like the chapters longer or shorter, I welcome opinions and any plot ideas :)
Contains mild language and mild violence.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
It seemed like just yesterday when I fought and escaped for Naraku's castle, unfortunately I was unable to kill him, I growled aloud, "Damn him!" I yelled gritting my teeth while growling, I heard a whimper and felt Takara nudge my leg, "Oh, Takara I'm sorry…" I said as I picked her up and cuddled her "If only I had avenged my parents when I had the chance" I said softly. I was living happily with my family (my father, mother, and two elder brothers) we lived far away from humans and other demons including other wolf demons, we had lived off the land rather than killing unnecessarily like others, we didn't believe in killing humans but we didn't hunt animals all the time either though it wasn't always nice eating vegetables, fruit etc. though you got used to it eventually. My parents were great my dad was tall and had black long hair which he keeps in a high ponytail with a parted fringe, and blue eyes, he wears long black fur shoulder pads on each shoulder that goes down to his elbow that tied together with twine around his chest and under his arms, and black metal/amour wrist bands, and a black mid-thigh length black fur skirt and black fur leggings, my mother she had long brown coloured hair which she keeps tied up in a messy bun and a puffy fringe with blue eyes and wears chest amour (like Ayame) the top bit is coloured green and bottom bit black, with light brown short shoulder pads, and short light brown fur wrist bands and leggings and shortish/mid-thigh length skirt. My brothers well there twins, Toshio has mid-length black hair which he has tied in a low pony-tail and a puffy fringe, and blue eyes wore chest amour (like Koga) top bit blue, bottom bit black, brown shoulder pads, blue metal wrist bands, brown mid-thigh fur skirt and leggings. Carries a spear with short brown fur tied near the tip of the spear, and has a katana attached to his skirt, Isamu has mid-length black hair tied in a low pony-tail with a parted puffy fringe and blue eyes and wore one long black fur shoulder pad on the right side that goes down to the elbow which ties around the torso, and short black fur wrist bands, a black mid-thigh length skirt, and leggings. Carries a spear with short black fur tied near the tip of the spear, and has a katana attached to his skirt. Then there was me the only girl, the youngest I was different, very different I had wolf ears and a wolf tail the colour of my her hair which was as blond (yellow like the sun) long and wavy hair and puffy fringe with sparkling blue eyes. I had a short blondish fur skirt with a fur belt and a blondish fur halter top (bra thing) with short blondish fur bracelets on both wrists and both ankles and a brown twine necklace about the neck that held a clear gem that had a wolf emblem inside it (Twine instead of string) and a katana tied to my fur belt. I loved my family dearly but forty years ago I was playing with Takara my companion I had got as a gift from my father and mother, she is a wolf demon that is like Kilala (Sango's pet/friend/companion) that can change her size (first form pup size, second size is equal to Kilala's full size and third size is equal to the size of a hut) and also fly like Kilala, Takara is reddish-brown colour with blue eyes.
"Akira! Can you come inside please!" my mother shouted "Coming!" I replied as I ran inside with Takara by my side, as I walked in our hut I saw that the floor boards had opened up "Akira come with me" my mother said I nodded and followed my mother down beneath the floor boards, as I we went further beneath the hut there was a light and a huge cave like room. "Akira" Toshio said as he ran over and picked me up and spun me around "Toshio! Put me down!" I squealed, "Toshio stop mucking around we have work to do" Isamu said seriously, "What's a matter? Geez lighten up would ya" Toshio said as he put me down and put his arm around my shoulders. "Boys, I need you to go on a mission for me, while your mother and I speak to Akira" Father said, "What's the mission?" Isamu asked, "I want you two to go to all the clans and warn them of an uprising of an evil demon lurking about that could not only affect the wolf demon clans, but other demons, humans, and even the animals and land… It is most important to warn the chief of the northern mountains, start here in the west then travel to the east, then the south and then make your way to the north, leave no wolf clan out even the ones that live by their selves like us" father replied. This is serious, I wish I could go but I'm able to do anything, except sit around home and do nothing but train all the time "Ok we won't fail you father, come on Isamu let's get ready for the journey" Toshio said, "Yes, we'll be back as soon as we can" Isamu said and both of them left to head back up into the hut. "I never knew we had this under the hut, has it always been here?" I asked "We built this hut ourselves when we were young and full of strength" my father replied "Akira you are very special to us…" my father said "Not that your brothers aren't important to us either but your our only daughter" mother said finishing father's sentence, I absolutely loved it when they finished each other's sentences it was cute, I wished for a love like theirs. "When you were born we were overjoyed, to have a girl, to have you… Even though you were different we still loved you and still do" father said "But we knew others would not think of you as normal as we do, so we asked for guidance from our mother earth, and the wolf gods and goddess' and eventually we were confronted by a wolf demon spirit" father continued "The spirit told us that you were a very important person, that you are a reincarnation of a powerful priestess wolf demon, and that you could do what she does, you can help so many people, weather full or half demon or even human" Mother said with a smile.
I looked at them dumbfounded "I'm a reincarnation of a powerful wolf demon priestess…" I say aloud "Yes, and we think it's time for a mission of your own… to search for people in need, that either need helping or saving, I know you can do it because I have faith in you" Mother said. Father came over to me and hugged me, "You'll always be my little girl but I think the best choice is for you to go out on your own now to explore and help anyone along the way" Father said, "Do I have to leave right now…" I said as tears started to form I could cope with being a reincarnation because I know I am still me no matter who I was before, but leaving home my parents and brothers. My father let go of me a whipped my tears away "No you don't have to leave right now, you can leave when you are ready" father replied "Ok, well I think I might just take a walk with Takara and think about what to do" I said this is so hard what do I do? "Sure take all the time you need" mother says as she brushes away my fringe and kisses my forehead "Be safe out there" father says. I nod my head "Always, after all you did train me to be a fine warrior" I replied with a smirk as I posed, they both laughed "That I did, now go on" father says with a smile as he holds mother close by his side, I smiled and ran off with Takara. I had been out for almost the whole day walking around the forest, talking to Takara it was late in the afternoon but the sun had not set yet, so we went back to the hut though when we were half way there, the wind carried a smell of blood to my nostrils, it was the blood of my father and mother I ran as fast as I could to the hut.
It was too late though, my parents laid dead on the floor motionless, lifeless, tears streamed from my eyes, as I see a figure inside "Who are you? Why did you slaughter my parents?" I ask in rage "Oh how rude of me, I am Naraku, I just wanted your assistance, since you're a rare find" He replied. A rare find? What the hell is he talking about "Rare find huh? Well doesn't matter you slayed my parents so there's no way in hell I'd help you!" I yelled as I flicked my claws out, as my ears perked back. Naraku smiled "Just think of the power you'd hold over others, since you're a wolf demon and a priestess it's not every day you have such a fine mix, you could rule the entire region" He said I growled at his intentions "You think I care about ruling and power… The only thing I care about now is taking your life" I yelled as I ran to attack but he disappeared as his chuckled echoed. Damn him, I went to my parents and picked them up one by one and buried them outside a bit away underneath a tree that they used to sit beneath together so often, after burring them I prayed for them then went back to the hut and cleaned it up, "Takara, I want you to find, Toshio and Isamu and tell them what has happened and that I shall be going to looked for our parents murderer 'Naraku'… Please be quick and most of all be careful" I said as I hugged her then watched her turn into her biggest form and fly off in search of my brothers.
While I went in search for Naraku the man I despised and I had been searching for him for the last 40 years, I have plotted my revenge and spent all my time tracking Naraku down. I almost had him about two months ago, it was when the sacred jewel shard had been broken into tiny shards and flew across all regions of this land, and I had found Naraku gathering pieces of the jewel and tried to sneak up on him when instead I fell straight into his trap. Naraku had taken me back to his castle saying he wished to take my powers or use them for something I could not bother listening so I broke from his cage and had sliced his chest and stolen a few pieces that I could get of the sacred jewel and ran hoping to find Takara hiding safe somewhere. That's how I've ended up here now, just Takara and I journeying across the land in search of not just Naraku but now for the jewel shards, I found out that once I had come in contact with the jewel I was able to sense them, which makes it much easier to locate, oh and the ones I took from Naraku I had taken five I had put one in each arm and each leg and the fifth I kept in my Katana. We had been travelling for such a long time just then Takara growled and pounced from my arms to the ground and turned into her largest form and stood in front of me, I sniffed the air "Hmm… that smells like human blood, we should check it out Takara" I said and leaped up on her back Takara leapt into the air and ran across the sky to the scent of human blood.
When we got there we had seen that there was a group of travellers, cleaning up the village and burying the villagers, "Takara take us down" Takara growled then took us down suddenly they all packed together and a two-tail cat demon transformed into a smaller form then Takara but was still big. Sniffing the air I leaped off Takara I saw before me the most unlikely group of travellers, a monk, demon slayer, a two-tailed cat demon, a weirdly dressed girl, a child fox demon and a half dog demon. The dog and monk smells of human blood but I can't be sure if they are the killers or just helping to put these villagers to rest, "Who are you?" the dog barks "She's a wolf demon" the slayer replies "Very good, you know what I am but I'm afraid I shall ask the questions from now on… Dog boy and monk why do you smell of human blood? Did you kill these humans?" I ask, I felt the others glare at me "Why should I kill humans when I can kill you" the half dog barked then charged at me I jumped high into the sky and grabbed his kimono then flipped the dog boy on his back and held my hand firmly around his neck. Takara had stood between me and the dog boys friends "Inuyasha!" the girl yelled "Inuyasha she has five jewel shards, one in each arm and leg, and one in her katana" She yelled again "You sense jewel shards too I thought I was the only one who could do that" I said as I released the dog boy and ran and stopped in front of the strangely dressed girl. The all looked at me just as strangely as I looked at the girl "How can you sense them?" I asked her "This is Priestess Kagome she is Priestess Kikyo's reincarnation she can do anything Kikyo could do including locating the sacred jewel fragments" the monk said in her place "Hmm… Strange, even stranger I can sense them to… Tell you what if Takara and I tag along with you guys for a bit and you prove yourselves worthy I'll give you mine gladly Priestess" I said with a smile.
Takara came to my side and turned into the same size as the two-tailed cat and started to play with it, "Sure it'll be great to have another person in the group" the priestess said "Yes" the slayer nodded in agreement "Then it's settled" the monk said. "No Way! Those filthy smelling wolves ain't' staying with us!" the dog yelled "Watch your tongue pup! No one asked you!" I yelled right back at him, I turned around to face the others "Oh by the way I'm Akira, and this is my best friend and companion Takara a demon wolf" I said with a smile, "Nice to meet you both I'm Kagome, and the half dog demon is Inuyasha" the priestess says "I'm Sango and the two-tailed cat demon is my companion her names' Kilala" the slayer says "I'm very pleased to meet you Akira my name is Miroku would you care to bare my children?" the monk says clutching my hands, I shook him off and hit him on the head. "He never learns, don't mind him Akira he's always like this, by the way I'm Shippo" the fox demon child says, I smiled "It's nice to meet you all and I look forward to being friends with all of you" I say with a smile "I think we should clean up the village and bury the villagers before going anywhere though, come Takara help me" I said, I felt sad and had the same sorrow I did when I buried my own family. Miroku, Inuyasha, Takara and I buried the villagers, Sango, Kagome, Shippo and Kilala were cleaning up the village, I sighed as we had finished burying all the villagers. It was dark by the time we finished, Inuyasha and Miroku went to one of the huts where Kagome, Sango, Kilala and Shippo had set up while I went around to every grave with Takara and we prayed for them, hoping they were in a better place.
Takara had turned back to her pup size I held her in my arms as we stayed outside the hut and watched the stars in the night sky, "Hey there you are, we thought you'd run away on us" Kagome said as she came out side and sat down next to me, but I just kept looking at the stars. "Are you ok? I mean you don't have to talk about it now but if you need to we are all here to listen" Kagome says, I turn my gaze to her "Look I've been through an awful lot and I'm a straight out person my father and mother taught me to tell it how it is and to stand up not just for the right thing but for what you believe is right, they taught me a lot but I can't help feel sadness and sorrow when there are innocent humans, half-demons and demons dying, and the ones who do the killing make me sick to my very core…" I said. Then I started to think of my first thoughts of the group Takara and I had now been added too, a smile now spread across my face then it turned into a laugh "What's so funny?" she asks with a confused face "When I met you guys this morning, I thought you guys were the most strangest mixed group I had seen of travellers, two demons, a half demon, a demon slayer, a monk and priestess I thought I'd never see anything like it especially when a priestess like you wears such strange clothes but I have to admit it is a strange but cute outfit in its own way" I said with a smile. Kagome giggled, "So how did you all meet?" I asked curiously "None of your business…" Inuyasha said as he walked outside "Kagome everyone is getting ready for bed we decided to leave early tomorrow" Inuyasha said again. "You're such an arrogant, hot-headed, idiotic jerk" I yelled at him, Takara growled in agreement "I'll sleep outside tonight Kagome you go inside and rest up, tomorrow will surely be a long day" I told Kagome "There always a space inside if you ever need to come in, goodnight Akira and little Takara" Kagome replies "Thanks, goodnight Kagome" I said.
Inuyasha waited till she was inside "How dare you! Calling me all those names and saying all those things about me just before, as soon as those jewel shards of yours are ours then you are leaving this group and if you don't I'll make ya!" he growled at me "Inuyasha! SIT!" Kagome yelled from inside the hut, Inuyasha fell to the ground make a huge imprint of himself in the ground. I laughed "Serves ya right, dog boy, night" I said as I leaped up to the roof of the hut with Takara still in my arms and fell asleep while I listened to Inuyasha grumble from inside the hut. I awoke to Takara nudging me and licking my face, "Ah… Takara… Ha-ha ok, ok I'm up" I laughed as I got up and stretched, I held Takara in my arms as I leaped down from the roof, the sun was still rising, I peeked into the hut and noticed everyone starting to wake up "Morning" I said happily "Good morning Akira" replied Sango, "Yes good morning" Miroku said. I stepped back outside and felt the wind breeze past me, through my hair, making it flow with the wind, but I had an uneasy feeling about today, I'm probably just being paranoid though I decided to have breakfast with everyone and when the sun had risen far enough to light the land up in its beautiful bright morning light we had packed up and set off walking. Even though I had jewel shards and could use them I didn't want to I felt I didn't have to I just wanted to help the world purify the evil from the world but how could a wolf demon priestess like me, do anything to help I haven't even seen my powers work except to spot the jewel shards.
