Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own the InuYasha series or the characters within. I only claim Reitana and various other OCs
Now that that's out of the way, I just want to take the time to thank you for reading through my story. This is my first drabble series and hopefully I pulled it off. I love and appreciate honest critique of my work, so review if you feel so inclined and enjoy Blind: A Drabble Series


The air was warm as season spring gave birth to another beautiful day. Dead flowers from seasons past were now returning to full bloom, and the vast, open fields were covered in bright colors and happy hues.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, to where are we headed this afternoon?" A young girl skipping happily after her caretaker questioned.

"Our lord is not obligated to answer to your childish inquiries!" Chastised a grumpy imp. "Besides, a youngling like you would be unable to comprehend such complex matters that matured demons, like myself, must take care of."

The ever stoic Lord Sesshoumaru kept golden eyes trained on his intended direction as he purposefully undermined his subordinate, Jaken. "We're headed north. Word has spread of numerous demon attacks in the area, and I wish to end it before they reach the homeland."

As the young girl, Rin, smiled happily at the answer she received, a disgruntled Jaken mumbled angrily under his breath, cursing the girl for always having her way.

Traveling west, a band of thieves took rest under the shade of bunched up maples. Their carts were full of treasures and priceless belongings; including the greatest prize, Princess Reitana.

The leader, a man of hefty stature covered in armor – which was also stolen – sat away from his followers, refusing to take part in their merry stories of pillaging and slaughter. Instead, he chose to focus his attention on the lone blind-folded woman sitting within his cart. He watched the raven-haired maiden move her head from side-to-side as if attempting to see her surroundings. Throwing back his head in a haughty laugh, the leader placed his fists on his hips before reaching over to grab at the woman's face.

"No use in tryin' to see, Princess." He began. "If you haven't noticed, you're blindfolded." Releasing her face, the man paced back and forth in front of the captured woman. Yes, he could make a killing after presenting the Princess to a brothel; of course the challenge was keeping her untouched. Many a sleepless night, he made sure that his followers laid not one finger on the prisoner, lest they were met with the sharp edge of his blade.

Suddenly, a scrawny man interrupted the leader's musings.

"Boss, we've spotted a noble passing by. He seems to be lost." The scrawny thief snickered.

"Well then let's show him the way…" The leader said ominously.
