Crying In Your Arms Tonight
A/N- This is a story I just barely cameup with last night. I hope you like the beging, it is very bloody and violent, but that is necisary for the progression of the story. This is something that I hope will turn out really good, I like the idea personally, but that's just me. I don't own InuYasha, if I did, the Inu brother's and their dad would be all mine! But allas, they belong to Rumiko Takahashi, sigh, if only. Anyway, hope you guys like this one!
Prologue: The Half-Breed Killer
'What a cold morning,' Jenenji thought as he left his mother to rest inside their small hut. Looking out across the fields Jenenji sighed contentedly as he watched the slow yet beautiful sunrise in the north. There were blurs of pink, orange, yellow, and purple that splashed the still darkened sky. Moving towards the rows of herbs, Jenenji knelt down and began his long held practice of pulling out the weeds. He had just started when he heard a gentle whispering in the wind, looking up; he scanned the expanse of the field trying to locate the source of the voice. Having failed to see anything, Jenenji returns to his work and all seems quiet about him. An hour passes and Jenenji is still at work as his mother wakes and joins him. They are working in silence when they hear a strangled feminine cry in the distance. Jenenji pulls himself to his full height and scans the immediate area for the woman who made that sound, he is just about to give up hope when he sees the blood stained hair of a woman in the distance. She is limping slowly towards them, a deep gash in her side.
Jenenji's mother drops what she is doing and rushes towards the woman, "stay here Jenenji." Obeying his mother, Jenenji can only watch and wait as his mother drags the half-limping, half-hanging woman into their hut. As the woman and his mother pass, Jenenji notices that the woman has a long wolf-like tail and claws. 'A half-demon,' once the woman is inside, Jenenji sets about collecting herbs for the woman's wounds. After a long and healthy rest the woman wakes to see Jenenji and his mother hovering over her. Spooked, she growls defensively at them, unsure of who or what they are. "Where am I and who are you?" Jenenji flinched as he heard the woman's deep and ruthless tone, apparently this woman was very suspicious of others. "Please calm yourself, we mean you no harm. This is my son, a half-demon like yourself, please...why were you so injured when you arrived here?" Hearing the gentle tone of Jenenji's mother the woman slowly sat down, still eyeing them closely.
"I am Hakuna, daughter of the wolf demon Genboku. My village was attacked and I was forced to run, a strange Draco Youkai appeared last night, she demanded that I be offered to her or she would destroy the entire village. The other villagers naturally agreed but my father fought against it. He forced me to leave in order to save the others but the demon still killed everyone, including my father. She has been chasing me, I don't know why." Looking down at her hands, Hakuna clenched her fists as she remembered the last look her father gave her before he died, feeling the tears welling up in her eyes, she rubbed at them furiously. "Please leave this place, I am afraid that the demon will follow me here and kill you and your son as well. I can no longer run now, I have to destroy that demon and avenge my father. But I am grateful that you both have taken care of me, I will never forget it, I..." Just as Hakuna was about to continue a long whip-like tail broke through the back of the hut and wrapped about her waist, pulling her through the hole it had made.
"RUN!" Hearing the tortured scream of Hakuna, Jenenji rushed out of the hut, his mother in tow. Upon exiting the hut they discovered the bloodied body of Hakuna, her head had been smashed and her limbs broken, thus turning her into a lifeless rag doll. Hearing the deep laughing of a feminine voice, Jenenji and his mother looked up, immediately they were horrified. The woman before them was beautiful to a fault, but she had a look of utter maliciousness as she gazed with pure hate on the shaking form of Jenenji. The woman had deep crimson hair tied in a high ponytail at the nap of her neck, out of her back were two large dragon wings, while her whip-like tail snapped in the air breaking the horror filled silence. "Half-breed, is this your village?" Jenenji shrank at her words as he tried to break his eyes away from her mesmerizing red ones, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't look away. "Answer the question Half-breed," Jenenji began to shake as her eyes glared deeply at him, freezing him to the spot. "His name is Jenenji and if I am not mistaken, you look to be a half-demon yourself." Breaking his eyes away from the demon, Jenenji looked to see his mother gripping a large tree limb, a look of determination set in her eyes.
"Silence human, I am not such a filthy thing as a Half-breed, I am a pure blood Draco Youkai and you shall feel my wrath." Growling deep in her throat, the woman sent her tail hurtling towards Jenenji's mother impaling her through her throat. Jenenji could only watch in horror as his mother spit up her warm blood, letting it run down her face and onto her chest. At the same time her body shook spastically as the tail pulled itself free with a sickening sound. Blood immediately gushed from the open hole that now ran from the front of her throat to the back, then her lifeless body fell to the ground to rest in the ever-growing puddle of blood. Jenenji felt tears staining his face as he turned to the demon, his rage and sorrow building. "Who are you and why are you doing this, I have done nothing to harm or hurt you." Jenenji could feel his knees giving out as he felt his heart break. The demon only laughed as she landed before Jenenji, gripping his chin she forced him to meet her eyes.
"Because Half-breed, your kind sicken me and I shall never rest until I have rid this world of every retched Hanyou. But, I will grant your request and tell you my name before I kill you and destroy this village. My name is Chikai," smiling into his face, she drew up one of her taloned hands and positioned it over Jenenji's heart. With one fast and fatal movement, she buried her fingers into his chest, listening to the breaking of his ribs and tearing of his flesh with great satisfaction. Reaching her target, she closed her fingers into a fist and pulled, drawing out Jenenji's bloody heart in her hand. Jenenji's eyes glazed over as his lifeless body joined that of his mother and Hakuna on the blood stained earth below. Smiling again, Chikai crushed Jenenji's heart and laughed at the feel of his blood covering her hand. After licking all the remnants of the blood from her hand, she started towards the village will every intention of enjoying herself. As she disappeared over the crest of the hill the sun had fully risen, bringing with it the blood red color of morning across the distant mountain ranges.
