Wind, Thunder and Flowers: Kaza's Story by Pegelia VonBorrador

Chapter 1 – Introduction

Hello. My name is Kaza. I'm sixteen. And when I was just fifteen years old, I single-handedly killed Naraku, the most powerful demon ever to cross Japan.

/crickets chirp/

Damn it! I hate it when the audience doesn't believe me! But I guess I should tell you the whole story of my life. It has been pretty interesting so far.

My mother is Sango, and my father is Miroku. My mom is an expert demon slayer, or Taijiya, one of only two left in all of Japan. My father is a traveling monk, who used to be under a curse by Naraku to have a wind tunnel – a Kazaana – in his right hand. They were both out to kill Naraku and traveled with the Inutachi, a traveling group who crossed Japan, looking for shards of the Sacred Shikon Jewel and basically trying to kill Naraku. There was Inuyasha, the hanyou son of the great dog demon lord; Kagome, a priestess from another time who could sense the jewel shards; Shippou, a young fox demon; Kirara, my mother's faithful cat demon and companion; and, of course, my parents. They traveled together for a year and slowly fell in love with each other.

Finally the group got close enough to Naraku to actually kill him. It was during the final battle that the tragedy happened that would send all their lives careening wildly off course. When Miroku tried to suck Naraku into the wind tunnel, Naraku held him by the neck, and the two were caught in a wild standstill. Deep magic was inflicted, and the two were lifted off the ground and suddenly vanished into the sky without a trace.

And that same night, my mother, Sango, found out she was pregnant with me.

So I was born nine months later, cursed with the Kazaana since birth. (So we're going to assume that's why my mom named me Kaza.) She moved out of Inuyasha and Kagome's house a year later and brought me up in a rural village. For most of my life I was a village girl with a single mother and a pet cat, whose only hobby was sucking barnyards into the cursed wind tunnel in my hand. But when I was fifteen, I realized that my Kazaana was a weapon I could use to find and kill Naraku – and finally find my father.

So I was given a Taijiya catsuit, my mom's sword and Kirara, and sent off to go find him. I recruited Inuyasha and Kagome – now married and living together in a small village – and Shippou, who was living in the forest. Eventually my mom even joined the group again, and we reached the field where my father had vanished fifteen years ago.

I didn't really know what to do at that point, so I tried the most desperate thing I could. I opened my Kazaana and attempted to suck my dad out of the sky.

But then – because my luck is seriously shitty – instead of my father that I sucked out, I got Naraku.

The battle wasn't going too well for our side. Inuyasha got injured pretty quickly, and my mom and the others just didn't have enough power to combat him. While I was battling him with my sword, he managed to stab me in the shoulder, seriously wounding me and taking me out of commission. But when he had taken everyone else down, and I was the only one left, I managed to summon enough energy to raise my hand and fight him with the Kazaana.

It hurt like hell, I can tell you. And though it seemed to work at first, Naraku began to resist the pull of the wind. It looked like he was finally going to get away – after all our hard work, after all our pain – when another set of winds appeared from across the plain. Naraku was torn in two by the force of the two opposing winds, and as I watched, grimly satisfied, one half of his body was sucked into my hand, the other half sucked into the other force of winds. And that's when my Kazaana, the cursed wind tunnel that I'd grown up with all my life, disappeared. Naraku was dead – the curse was broken.

I looked up then and realized that the other set of winds had actually come from another Kazaana. It was my father.

The reunion was amazing. My mother and everyone else hadn't seen him in fifteen years, and I'd never even known what my father looked like. It was beautiful and heartwarming, and I really believed then that I would have a happy ending.

About a month later, as we were traveling back to Inuyasha and Kagome's village, we got a job as hired demon slayers to kill a bear demon. While we were fighting him, he kidnapped me and carted me off to the countryside, where I was just thrown into a cave and left to die. I thought I was going to die, and while I was in there all hope of ever getting out and leading a normal life were just blown away. Then, a young man named Kohaku chanced upon me, and we started talking. All the while, unbeknownst to me, the Inutachi, Kouga and Kagura, which whom we'd made alliances, were streaking towards us.

Two days after I'd been captured, they reached me, and the fight that ensued was heated and thick. Kohaku rescued me from the cave, and we both plunged into the fight against the bear demon. I was actually having fun being in a fight again; until, of course, my parents showed up.

I mean, I was like happy to see them and everything. Until my mom revealed that Kohaku was actually her brother and my uncle; he'd been under Naraku's control for the past fifteen years; and they were the only two Taijiyas in all of Japan to survive.

Talk about secretive.

Then the demon unleashed a new attack on us. He could shoot glowing fireballs of energy from the back of his throat. Within fifteen minutes my dad, Inuyasha, Kouga and I were hit. And when I finally came to and saw the demon, that's when I realized that the demon was Naraku. He'd been trying to pull one last stunt and kill us all off.

I was the only one who could defeat him – I knew that by now. There was a rolling storm building up in my soul that I couldn't ignore. So I walked out to the battlefield, ready to face Naraku alone, and when he had me riled up enough, I unleashed the storm.

I actually have a disturbed ability to control the wind. I guess it just took Naraku in the form of a giant bear demon to make me realize it. The fight was short but hard. It was my wind versus his energy blasts, but I had all my raw fury and power on my side, and finally, Naraku, the demon from hell, was killed – blasted apart by lightning bolts and winds from a fifteen-year-old human girl.

So was that the happy ending? Sure as hell was. We deserved it after all the crap we'd been through.

After that, the entire group, now together and happy again, went back to Inuyasha and Kagome's village. My parents got married at last, and nine months later, Kagome and Inuyasha's baby girl, little Kaida, was born, healthy and kicking. It's been almost a year since then, and we've all been living happily since then.

But is that the end of the story? Of course not. I'm here talking to you, right? The trials weren't over yet for us.

So just sit back, listen, and let me tell you our story. The story of the Inu-tachi; the last two Taijiyas; the Daughter of the Wind; and everyone in between. Our story of love, hope, death, power, and a bunch of demon slayers who are just trying to find our happily ever after.

A story of wind, thunder and flowers.

Now that's out of the way. For those of you who did not read Daughter of the Wind - the prequel to this - this prologue doesn't completely cover it. I left out some important stuff on purpose. So anyway, feel free to go back and read it - I promise it's not that long. So anyway, thank you all, and please review! - Pegelia
