The Way Things Could Have Been
----------------------------------------
Chapter 1: The Arrow
---------------------------------------
"KITSUNE!!!" a voice rang through the air.
Time seemed to slow, as the creature dashed through the forest. Her eyes slowly glanced to one side, just as the arrow stuck in her shoulder and pinned her to a tree. The sacred object in her grasp dropped as she hung there by the arrow, completely stunned. Her eyes looked at her attacker and widened.
"Sahara?" she gasped out, weakly. Her silvery fox ears and tails twitched in pain from the arrow. "What? How could you have--" She finally grew limp, closing her eyes.
The woman who shot her with the arrow slumped to the ground. She breathed heavily. Her eyes flashed from red to black to blue and back; a confused mixture of anger, hatred, and sadness. Her black hair with its red ends and bangs was partly frazzled and mostly caked with blood. As for the woman, her body and clothes were also wet with the red substance that leaked from her wounds.
"Sahara!" another woman called, rushing up to the one on the ground. She glanced warily at the demon pinned to the tree. Kneeling down, she glanced back at the woman. "Are you okay?" Her blue eyes were slightly misted over with tears, her blonde hair dark with blood; the black ends and bangs couldn't be distinguished from the blood. There was a particularly large gash in her shoulder, which blood flowed freely out of.
"I never thought that she would be the one to betray us," Sahara said, gasping for breath. She picked up the sacred object which had fallen out of the demon's hands. "Just for this? She desired to become a full demon. She followed in her brother's footsteps, and she must suffer the same fate. I did what I could; Kaonashi allowed the arrow to be protected as a seal. No one must ever break it, Sora, never allow anyone to even go near."
Sora nodded, and then glanced up at the demon. Sora's panda ears twitched. The seal in that arrow wouldn't break for a long time, she was sure.

KK: As you can tell, this follows an Inuyasha-type plot, but it'll get better.
Krystal: We don't own RCS Inc's characters!
Nena: Or Inuyasha and it's plot! We're sorry!
Muses: (sob)
KK: Okay! These chapters may be short, sorry. But I'm trying. I hope you like this RCS Inc! Please review!
