Kit P.O.V
I closed my eyes and let the tears fall to the ground.
This wasn't supposed to happen.
I was a demon not a human, yet emotion flooded through me, and I felt... weak. I laughed to myself.
"So this is it shina? Whats the point? What did I do to you? Everyones dead but me." I closed my eyes. Then I caught their scent. The dog demons, but one in particular caught my attention. Sesshomaru. I abandoned the bodies and fled.
Sesshomaru P.O.V
The palace was a wreak. They always kept this place in a well kept state, now blood and corpses covered the floor.
"Where's Kit?" I asked my father, who was inspecting the scene. He didn't answer.
I repeated myself only more violenly. He sent me a glance.
"I doubt we'll find her alive..." I closed my eyes for a moment then left. Emotions were not becoming of a demon. I have no use of them. Yet I felt something tearing at me from the inside.
(300 years later)
Naraku was dead, Kagome has returned to the human village, and the old woman, keade was taking care of Rin. Now I had only two things to do, one find out who murdered the family of kitsune demon almost 300 years ago. They were more fearful then other kitsune and had stronger abilities. Two I would take control over my fathers lands in the west that was taken away by Shina. A demon who grew jealous of my father.
Shina P.O.V
Everyone trusted Kit, especially the wolf demon tribe, what better way to slay them then to think that their taking the advice of a friend.
"You gracing me with you preassence now after 300 years in hiding must mean you've regained your demonic powers." Said Biritani the head of the western wolf demon tribe.
"Correct, and I'm ready to take action. Shina has ruled with an iron fist and I say its time we put an end to her." She smirked.
"Welcome back old friend, of course once she catches your scent all hell will break lose since she thought you were dead oh, so long ago. Poor sesshomaru had to fight to keep from crying himself to sleep."
"Tell me someting I'll believe. Anyway are you with me or not?" She laughed.
"Well I'm not against you, so might as well join in the fun." She jumped down from her sitting place.
"Okay boys lets go!" She threw her arm around me.
"Lets make this short and sweet." She said.
"Lets split up. Shina was never good at-" I looked down to see a blade run through my chest. Biritani laughed.
"Nice try." She leaned down to whisper in my ear. "I know exactly where Kit is, you can't fool me so easily."
"No, she's dead!" She only laughed and withdrew her blade from my chest. I staggered to my feet and ran to the exit.
"Oh and," said Biritani ",say hello to your brother for me." I shot her a glare and left.
Biritani P.O.V
"So Kit did ya see all that?" She walked out from the shadows.
"I believe she's gotten weaker from the last time I saw her." She yawned.
"Nice barrier Biritani, she didn't even realize I was here."
"Lets go Kit, I say it's time to bring the fight to her for once."
"I say you're right, but I'm going to split from you for a while, theres something I need to do." I nodded.
"Be careful."
Shina P.O.V
"Thank you for reviving me and my useful incarnations but I have no further use for you."
"Wha-" Naraku injected my body full of miasma and everything turned to black.
Kit P.O.V
I disguised myself as a boy and went into the largest demon city in the west. I sat in a large bar and glanced over at Abura, a comidian who used to come by our compound all the time. He was stuffing his face as always.
"Hello old friend." I said. He looked over at me, the second he met my eyes he dropped his turkey leg.
"K-k- k- k- Kit? You ali-" I slapped my hand over his mouth.
"Shut your trap unless you want to get us killed!" He lowered his voice to a whisper.
"Where have you been all this time?"
"Traveling, just like I always wanted. I came back a year ago and stayed with the wolf demons." He nodded.
"Thats why I didn't notice your scent, you smell like a pack of wolves. What about Lord Sesshomaru? If he finds out you're alive theres no question he would help."
"Sorry but he made his choice years ago, our only hope is to figure this out on our own. I can't trust him."
"I know it hurts you to say that, so it must be true." He chugged down a large bottle of sake.
"So how can I help?"
"I just need someone with me incase something goes wrong."
"You got it! I'm your man!"
"Oh, whatever would I do without you." There was a hint of sarcasm in my voice but I ment it as well. At that moment, when I turned to leave, sesshomaru stepped into the bar. I turned back to Abura and whispered.
"Sesshy entering a bar full of demons is never a good sign." I glanced back. He was coming straight for Abura.
"So buddy wanna make a run for it?"
"No," he smirked. "I got a better idea." He spun around and nearly knocked into sesshomaru. He staggered across the floor and collapsed.
"Maaaaaan that was good stuuuuuuff!" He was good at playing drunk. I ran to him.
"Come on you old fat lug let's get you outta here." I went to help him up when someone grabbed my arm. I turned and sesshomaru had a firm grip on my wrist.
"You don't look like a wolf demon."
"Time to get your eyes checked dog boy!" I could tell what he was thinking with the look that crossed his face. Deffinately wolf. I could impersonate their personality perfectly after a year of living with them. I yanked my arm free and went to help up Abura, but I cut myself in the process. I quickly wrapped up the injury, grabbed Abura and ran. Trying to get away before he recognized my scent.
Once we were outside the village heaved a sigh of relief.
"It doesn't look like he followed us."
"Maybe he decided he didn't have much use for an old drunk." I laughed.
"You were marvalous by the way, your acting skills are still the best!"
"I do try to entertain." He did a little bow. I smiled at him. I missed everyone, especially sesshomaru, but I doubt he would be so thrilled to see me.
"Come on Abura I want to go visit my families graves, then I need to find Kaede, a miko I met twenty years ago, she is good at putting up barriers, so she might be able to help."
The sun was setting by the time I reached their graves. Once I got there I noticed something different. Every one of the graves had flowers resting on them, and they were fresh. I caught the scent but I still couldn't believe it.
Sesshomaru was here?
I wrote a letter to kaede saying I would be there in a few days and sent a soul collecter to give it to her. I left Abura to find food while I built a fire. The wood was just starting to smoke when I noticed a heavy gas in the air. I covered my nose. 'What is this?'
"I've heard a lot about you Kit." I turned with neck-breaking speed to see a demon with dark hair, and erie red eyes.
An unsettling feeling hit my gut.
"N-naraku! Y-you're supposed to be dead!" He laughed in response to my reaction.
"I had some help. Now you have a choice. Die here. Right now. Or come with me and see your beloved sesshomaru one last time." I clenched my fists. 'How does he know! I-'
"Run kit! I'll hold him off! Get to the village as soon as possible." Shouted Abura.
"Don't mind me!" I nodded and ran. I was going to go elsewhere on the way but I could make it there within hours if I could find a flying demon to control.
"You were attacked!" Said kaede surprized. I nodded. I hated feeling so weak, ever since the attack on my family I have been unable to regain my full demonic powers. Apparently Shina put a barrier around our compound to stabalize the demonic aura and not make it look suspicious during the attack. When I returned from Biritani's they were already dead, and the second I stepped into the barrier my demonic powers were mostly sealed off, thats probably what saved my life. I looked at the demon slayer Sango, the monk Miroku, the fox- demon Shippo, the miko Kagome, and the half-demon Inuyasha.
"I'm afriad your efforts have been in vain." I traveled with them for a short time while they were searching for Naraku.
"Naraku has been revived, he came after me soon after I visited my families grave." The room fell silent then a little girl ran in.
"Lady Kagome, come play Kagome Kagome with us."
"In a minute Rin." The little girl had sesshomarus scent on her.
"Does she know sesshomaru?" Inuyashas eye twitched.
"How do you know that arrogent bastard?"
"We grew up together. I've seen several sides of him, and trust me when I say as a kid he was a little trouble maker." Inuyashas jaw dropped.
"You mean he was once a little brat!" I laughed.
"We all were there once. But you never answered my question."
"Yeah she knows him, he took care of her for a while before he decided its safer for her here. And for your information he's my half-brother."
"That was unexpected. I doubt he holds you in high reguard."
"I doubt he'll be happy to hear that Naraku is back in action." Said Miroku.
"I wonder why sesshomaru hasn't been back lately?" Said Kagome.
"He's probably busy planing his wedding." Everyone looked at me, and with the look I got from Inuyasha he detected a hint of jealousy.
"The west is covered with notices about the royal wedding, it said that they have been planning it for several years."
"No," said Inuyasha. "Sesshomaru has been to busy dealing with conflicts that father left behind, and Naraku to be concentrating on a wedding."
"Another thing that throws me, a day before my family was killed Sesshomaru came and broke a deal his father had made with my family I wasn't told the details of it but when I confronted him later that day he told me that he was going to marry Shina." I got pissed at him gave him a scar along the right side of his neck, and went to the wolf demon tribe to hang out with Biritani. When I came home a demon was finishing off the last of my family. But I refrained from saying that. Then something slapped me. Shina had that scar when I saw her at the wolf demons den. She had tricked me? The pieces still haven't fallen together.
"Oh no... Biritani! we've got to stop her! She can't face Naraku as easily as Shina!" They looked at eachother and nodded.
"Lets go, a threat like this is serious. We need to finish off Naraku if its-" Miroku was cut off and he doubled over in pain grasping his right hand. We heard wind flow through the little house. When he lifted his hand to look we realized that the wind tunnel had returned, and Sango cried.
Biritani P.O.V
Before I could register what was going on everyone else was dead. I ran to one and tried to get a response out of him but nothing happened. I got up to run to another one but someone grabbed me. I struggled the whole way until they pulled me against a tree and grabbed my shoulders.
"Biritani! Calm down are you all right!" I opened my eyes to see Zaku, Shina's brother. He had black hair that barely brushed his shoulders. He always wore a white headband. He had red demonic eyes, and I've had a crush on him since I was little.
"What are you doing here?"
"Saving you!" Abura came out from behind him.
"He helped me fight off Naraku as Kit went and got help, then we came back here to try and stop you, sorry looks like we got here a bit late." Said Abura.
"We've got to find Kit and get a strategy." Said Zaku.
"What about your psycopath sister?"
"She's dead and I couldn't care less. She tried to kill you."
"What's going on here!" We all turned to see sesshomaru with an imp close behind him. Abura grabbed me in one arm and Zaku in the other. He spit up a poisonous gas and fled. He didn't stop running he went straight after Kits scent.
Kit P.O.V
Once we met up with Biritani, Abura, and Zaku we stopped at a natural hot spring to take a bath. It had a natural rock formation in the middle so we all got in at the same time. Boys on one side of the formation, girls on the other.
"We ran into sesshomaru after Zaku saved me." Said Biritani.
"Whats the deal with him showing up everywhere?" I asked. She shrugged.
"He... doesn't know you're alive does he?"
"Not that I know of."
"You still don't think you can trust him?" I didn't answer I closed my eyes to think.
'So Shina transformed herself into sesshomaru to break that deal and tell me that he was going to marry her. Then just the next morning my family was dead because of her. Did she do it to...
It all makes sense now! She killed everyone to cover up that she broke the deal, then as an added bonus she made sure I was upset at Sesshomaru, she intended to kill me all along. She must've loved him too, thats why she made a big show of the wedding, to grab his attention!'
I stood up and got out.
"Cute tail Kit." I threw a rock at her. I hated my white fox tail. I always tried to hide it. It didn't match my dark red hair. I pulled on my clothes.
"I'm going for a walk."
I put quite a bit of distance between me and the others before I sat on a large boulder in a clearing. I sighed. 'If I see him what should I ... say?'
"Kit?" I looked up and there he was.
"Sessho...maru..." he walked up to me slowly and looked me over. Then in one swift movement one of Naraku's tendrils had stabbed me and injected a large amount of miasma.
"You trust your eyes to much." It was Naraku not Sesshomaru. I felt an urge to cry. I was in emotional and physical pain. Everything went black.
Sesshomaru P.O.V
It was starting to get annoying even my own allies were avoiding me, there was no doubt in my mind that it was Shina's doing. I stopped and looked at a sign nailed to a building.
'Royal marrage of lady Shina and lord Sesshomaru.' I grabbed it and crushed the wooden sign in my hand. I turned to leave when I caught the scent of the demon I met at the bar. It was strangely familiar. Theen another scent hit my noes, even more stronger than the other. Naraku.
"Rediculous" i told myself. And walked on with Jaken following close behind. I was going to hunt down Shina and claw out her throat. No doubt she was pulling a new trick.
Kit P.O.V
I didn't expect the poison to be so strong, but I still laid out a path for them to follow.
Kagome P.O.V
I was riding on shippos balloon form and following the path of crying mushrooms.
"Hey Shippo, are you and Kit related in anyway?" I asked. He shrugged.
"I never thought to ask her. Maybe I will next time I see her."
Biritani was running along side us keeping a good pace.
"I warn you, unless you're extremely close Kit has never been the family type she hates getting too close to people."
"Why's that?"
"She's scared she'll lose them. For example she was in love with Sesshomaru for years before her family was killed, I'm not sure of her feelings now though, but anyway, when he told her that he was going to marry Shina she was absolutely devastated. She was going to leave the next day and travel like she always wanted in hopes of forgetting about him, but I think that only made it worse."
Kit P.O.V
"So why did you want me so bad?" I asked him. No answer.
"Hey! Are you listening to me?" He lightly chuckled.
"You sure are a lively one." He said.
"You still haven't answered my question."
"I'm sure you know I love to play with my opponents emotions."
"Huh? I don't see what I have to do with... oh... sesshomaru?" He nodded.
"He thinks I'm dead. He'll think its just another one of your tricks!"
"Why so much faith in him?" I could only glare at him.
"Who knows maybe things will go the way I picture them, or he'll kill you. Either way once he realizes its you he'll be crushed." I didn't know what Naraku was planning, but I didn't want to ask. He threw me down once we stepped into a small shack on the side of a mountain.
"I can't believe this place is still here." Said a tall black haired demon stepping in, he had ridden a giant oragami crane to the entrance. A small girl completely dressed in white was already here.
"Naraku..."
"Where is goshinki?" He asked.
"Sorry Naraku I had to leave him at the castel, he couldn't ride with me." I cleared my throat. I couldn't move due to some sort of spell, so might as well go along with what was going on.
"Who the hell are these guys?"
"Yo!" Said the black haired demon. "My name's Byakuya, of the dreams."
"Kanna." Said the white demon. "What about kagura?"
"Since I gave her her heart back she died free of me, without attachments to me so she wasn't able to be resurrected." The little girl only slightly lowered her head.
"Goshinki will be your partner." Said Naraku to me.
"What makes you think I'll do what you say!" I snapped.
"Feisty!" Said Byakuya.
"Don't act so high and mighty. I know about your weakened state, and thats the only thing keeping sesshomaru from knowing its you."
"What?"
"Sesshomaru may recognize your scent but your demonic energy is too low for him to process that it is really you. I can give you that power back and allow you to see him again." I laughed.
"I believe that you would manipulate me for you own purposes then kill me once you lose interest in your toy!" Byakuya clapped.
"You are good."
"I've seen it before." I said. "Your tricks, you always keep your promises but it never ends the way it sounds it will."
"Don't worry, I doubt I will lose interest in someone who keeps me on my toes, and its not like you have a choice. Kanna don't waste daylight." The little girl slowly approached me, and in her hand was a peice of a mirror. She slamed the shard into my chest. I yelped in pain.
"Don't try to remove it, you will die. Don't worry you won't fall into my control untill I need you. Goshinki will watch you to keep you from ruining any of my plans. Byakuya take her to the castel and leave her with Goshinki. I'll make sure he does as you say, unless it interfers with my plan."
"You're practically repeating yourself."
"Don't be so cruel. I'm giving you more freedom than needed."
"Then why do I feel it part of your sick plan to mess with my emotions?" He smirked. I made a bingo.
"I'll say it once more." Said Byakuya. "She's fairly bright." I shot him a glare.
"So much venom!" He said flinching away. "Anyway come on." I quickly followed him out. I'd rather be with him than Naraku and that creepy girl. At least this guy has a personality.
Goshinki was a demon with not the most... alluring appearence. He could read the mind of his opponent, or his allies. That made him terrifying.
"Byakuya... did you bring me lunch?" He looked at me.
'Fuck off freak' I thought since I knew he was invading my mind.
"No Naraku said to take orders from her, unless it will interfere with his plans." He looked annoyed.
"Taking orders from a weak demon is against my nature." My eye twitched. 'Weak, weak? You'll pay for that you sorry excuse for a demon.' He chuckled at me shouting at him from inside my head. I always act without thinking, now was the most perfect oppertunity to show that. I jumped up and landed on his shoulder.
"What the-" he was flat on his ass before he could finish. Naraku was true to his promise, I had demonic powers, but not as much as I once had, and this was tanted by miasma. But if I find a way to regain my former strength I can break free of narakus grasp and... and then what? The only family I have left is Shippo, but I don't want to put my half-brother in trouble. Will I go back to traveling? Will I kill Naraku,and then go on with my life somehow? What about Sesshomaru...
"You have a lot of thoughts going through your head girl." Said Goshinki standing and brushing himself off.
"Let's go I don't like it here, and I know you don't either." He said.
"Yeah, lets go." 'I guess thats step one, move forward.'
