A/N: Hi everyone! This is a story that has come to me a moment that I felt under.
Disclaimer:Inuyasha and crew not mine!
I have claim to only one character and no one is to use her without a disclaimer!
I'm sorry for that, but her name is my special pet name since my eyes are colored light jaden green and honesty, I shed tears often.
The day was cold and dark. Thunder clouds hung over the lands of Japan, creating an eerie gloom through the forest. Something of great importance was starting. As the lightning struck and thunder clasp, a shrill scream flew along with the increasing breeze. Hidden among the brush and foliage and trees that shielded the soft ground from the upcoming rain, a labored breathing could be heard. Nearby lay a small sandy river bank where a figure kneel over to gather fresh water in a leather pouch. The being turned around when yet another screech could be heard from behind the sheltering brush. It was coming soon.
The being was a man. A youkai male to be exact. He stood at a height of around six feet tall, long waist-length earthy brown hair, and handsome face with forest green eyes and nice strong body to match his looks. He wore a simple colored kimono to show the clan he was from. It was a dark green—almost black—the color of the earth demons. He was second heir to his clan and he was a fairly calm elemental youkai.
'eeyyaaaaahhh'
He quickened his steps, wanting nothing more than to sink into the earth to move faster. He came to a halt and dropped down to the woman who lay on the extra soft moss he forced to grow for her comfort. She was his mate, but it was not accepted among his clan. She was different. As where he is an element of the earth, she was of water. His mate was a beautiful, knee-length flowing white opal colored hair, glistening aqua blue eyes, and creamy white skinned water sprite demoness.
Neither of their clans accepted the couple's mating. They were two very breeds of elemental youkai. The two could care less what the others thought. They were in love and would be together no matter what.
The thing was though, both the water clan and earth clan didn't know what a crossing of elements could do. Stories had been passed down of two different elemental youkai who cross bred and an evil male was born. The child was a dark entity with the power to control all elements. At first the child was viewed to become a prophet, a being to bring peace to all the elementals. Only, when he grew, he created havoc and wanted nothing more than to destroy all that breathed life. His name was originally Dozoko-Shin, but when the darkness began to flow off into his aura, all clans began to call him Amatsu Mikaboshi, after the god of evil. It was said that a more powerful youkai, an Inuyoukai, had destroyed the evil male after 15 years of destruction. Afterward, no elemental youkai dared to mate again for fear of a repeat of the madness that happened 800 years ago. That is, until the mating between the earth demon and water sprite produced the very life that was to be born.
"Come now lirsha(love in demon language), bare down. The babe is nearly here!" he told his mate.
"It...hurrtzzz!! Stop the pain, Hiro....please!" she spoke through clenched teeth as another contraction hit hard.
"I wish I could, my Manami! I will try make you more comfortable." Hiro assured as he put his hand to the ground and grew the moss more plump and fluffy beneath his mate.
Another scream ripped out of her mouth as the pressure of the fetus's head forcing it's way through the birth canal. She bared down when Hiro commanded and took a small breather before repeating.
"Here it comes!" he told her. "One more strong push and the pressure will end."
'nnaaaaahhhhh' "Oh, Kami! Get...IT....OUTTTT!!" she cried.
'mwaah...mwwaaah....mwaaaahh'
"It is a girl!" Hiro pronounced proudly.
Manami cradled the tiny infant female to her chest for warmth and gazed upon her when her little eye lids drifted open. Two bright jade green colored eyes peeked at her mother. The child had a light of purity within her glittering eyes. They knew at that moment their child was destined for good. What power she would hold was unknown until later. Both believed that their baby girl was going to be a savior of all beings. On her forehead was the mark of a protector, the sky blue star of the heavens. It was no bigger that a finger nail, but obvious none the less.
"What shall we call our daughter?" Manami asked.
Hiro pondered a moment and with another look at the infant girl's eyes, he knew what her name should be.
"She will be called Jade Naku (tears)." he concluded.
"Why Tears?" Manami questioned.
Hiro looked his mate in the eyes before saying, "Because she may never find her equal. We will be there to always watch over her, but you know as well as I that the power she may possess may be feared to a point no youkai male will accept her. She will shed tears as the loneliness sets in. Only the Kami's have the choice of fating her with an equal. This, my lirsha, I am sad for. We must make the best for her though. I vow that no harm shall come to you or our divine child."
Hiro kissed Manami and Jade before settling along side of them. The couple lovingly watched their baby drift asleep. The birth wore her and her mother out. Soon the need for rest fell over the couple as well. The rain fell softly around their shelter as the small family relaxed comfortably in blissful sleep.
-in earth tribe-
A rumble ran through the ground until it stopped at the entrance of a small village sized cavern where the earth elemental clan resided. A boy, about age 12, rose from the ground and ran toward the earth elder's stone hut. He wisped the mat aside to reach the old demoness.
"Minori-sama, the babe is birthed. It be a girl child." the boy spoke hurriedly.
"Hai, boy. This much I know. There be no evil in her. I see a mark of heaven bestowed on that one. She may live. Speak this much to Taro, no harm shall come to the child of jaden eyes and symbol of the heaven's star that mar her skin. Tis his niece and now second heir. Go quickly, be off! This must not wait." The elder woman commanded. She was blind, but had a gift of foresight. She knew before Jade was born that the babe was pure. Unlike the evil creature, Amatsu Mikaboshi, Jade was born for a purpose. She is destined for more than protection, but Minori can not speak the future of those outside her clan. Her mate, who has passed long ago, was a seer as well. His death came early when he made the mistake of telling a non-earth elemental he was going die a gruesome death at the hands of a trusted friend. Her husband died ten days afterward. The creature he spoke the future to was killed three years later by a brotherly like friend. The creature had gone mad because he knew his death was coming around soon. His friend put him out of his misery when cat like creature began killing each of his closest friends in the hope that he would live.
Oracles are to not tell the future to beings not of their kind. The reason clear, for if they do, it will be their death and the other being will go mad or they could change the future for the worse. So, even though she knew what will become of the child, Minori could never speak a word.
A/N: This is it for the moment, but I promise the next chapter will involved a somewhat older jade. Possibly around the ages of 15 to 18, haven't decided yet. Also, I only mentioned the earth can because the water sprites are a fairly calm species of youkai in my story. Even though they don't accept the mating between 2 different elementals, they won't try to kill the child. Their clan does not participate in killing young ones. As Jade grows to a woman though, I might change my mind so I could get some enemy action toward her. Later!
