Hey! Happy New Year everyone! I hope that this year will be a great
year for all of us here at fanfiction.net though I'm pretty sure it will
be. On that good note, I just want to say that I don't own Inuyasha or
Vampire Princess Miyu so don't sue me! Review on your way out okay?
The grass tickled her ear and the side of her face. Her brown hair was undone and the red ribbon that usually held it was wound loosely around her neck. Aside from that, there wasn't a single cut, scrape or bruise on her body. She never would allow herself to be struck by a shinma. For her to allow such a thing would be a complete disgrace to her clan. But still, being nearly choked to death, thrown down a well and forced to chase after that rogue was not fun and was a disgrace. Eventually, she had been able to through him back into the darkness. However, she was so tired, and unable to move. She had called out to Larva, but he didn't come. Tears welled in her eyes. Where was he? Why didn't he come? He had even said it himself: "I am Larva, your protector forever.always." So why? Why wasn't he here? Why wasn't he by her side now?
***
She had disappeared. The woman he had sworn to protect, the guardian of the Shinma was gone! With her disappearance, the shinma was flourish; the humans would be brutally killed. For all he knew, if the worst were to come, then the shinma would even take control.
Larva had no idea how long he had been sitting there, beside the well, but he didn't care.
He had followed her. They had been in pursuit of the shinma for an hour. Whatever type of Shinma it was, it was fast. However, it seemed to know where it was going, as if it knew of a place where it thought that it could elude him and the guardian.
Skidding around a corner, they had rushed up a long flight of stairs into the open area of the courtyard of a shrine. Flying just above the stairs, the shinma had looked down at them, smirking wickedly as he took off toward a smaller building of the shrine. It wasn't a storeroom; it was covering what appeared to be a well. Tearing the door open, it dived down into the well, the Guardian close behind. Then, a bright light had blinded him and when he caught up with her, she and the shinma had disappeared.
He sensed a presence from behind him.
"Aiiieeee! W-who are you?! And what are you doing by the well?!" the voice shrieked. Calmly standing, he turned around, lowered his hood, and removed the mask. The girl was young, a large pack had fallen from her shoulders with a thud, and she was dressed in a high school uniform. Long black hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her brown eyes were wide in stunned surprise.
"Miyu," Larva said. "Miyu has disappeared down this well, in pursuit of a shinma,"
"What? What do you mean? Only Inuyasha and myself can travel through that well!" She exclaimed. Larva ran to her, putting his hands on her shoulders.
"Tell me young lady. How is it that one can travel through the well? Where does it lead?"
"Hey, calm down pal! What's a 'shinma'? And who do you think you are anyway?"
"Forgive me. In my haste to find Miyu, I seem to have to forgotten to introduce myself,"
"What was your first clue?!"
"I'm Larva. And you would be.?"
"Kagome and I've got a lot of questions for you!"

Blood, smoke, the scent of a demon, wait, two demons, all these things filled his sensitive nose. He stopped and turned around. A fire was burning not too far away, the smoke and a few glowing embers billowed upward toward the sky.
By his side, an almost frog like creature turned to face him, a two headed staff held in his hand.
"A fire?" he asked surprised. "Lord Sesshomaru, what is the matter? Is there something strange about it?"
"Yes Jaken," he replied. "There is. A demon has created this fire in battle with another. I can smell the burned flesh from here. However, the victorious seems to not have taken leave just yet,"
This was unusual to say the least. Sesshomaru himself enjoyed wallowing in his victory, if only for a few moments, as much as the next demon, but with no control over the flames, they too would perish. Being the curious type that he was, and knowing that the fire was less then three miles away, he sped off toward it. His servant Jaken left behind.
It hadn't taken him long to reach the clearing. However, the fire had already formed a ring of glowing blazes, having jumped from tree to tree. The burned corpse of the dead demon lay in the center, and not far away lay the body was the victor, who, in Sesshomaru's opinion, was a bit surprising.
The demon had been a massive bird like creature (more like half human half bird), similar to the harpies he had heard of that were at constant war with the wolf demon clan when it came down to wingspan. It appeared to be a sort of crow demon if he remembered correctly. Looking to his left lay what looked like a normal human girl. She couldn't be however, since her hair was not black like most of the humans he had come in contact with. It was brownish color, like the fur of a wolf or fox and her skin was much paler then what he had accepted as normal for a human. It lacked the rosy cheeks and light tan from working in a field as most humans did. As if he had all the time in the world, he knelt down beside her and brushed away the strands of hair that covered her slender neck. The ribbons had left a spiraling red mark that made it's way upward. She wasn't dead though, he could hear her breathing and her heart beating in her chest. Looking back again at the corpse, he figured that it would be a waste to allow such a powerful demon to die and gently scooped her up into his arms. Walking through the only remaining opening in the flames, he calmly made his way back to where he had left Jaken. Embedded in the body of the demon, a crystalline substance glowed and glittered. Unfortunately, this Shikon Jewel shard went unnoticed by the preoccupied demon.
