Fire in my Hands
Disclaimer: I do not own any Inuyasha characters. I own Aisu, Kasai, and their family.
Daylight, my least favorite part of the day. The time when it's light is when I am weak and vulnerable. Yet, it casts its warmth upon me when I need something to give me heat on a cold day such as this. It was a cool, spring morning, a few minutes after the sun had rose. I felt incomplete, knowing it will be a long day before the night and comes forth a fiery power from the depths of my soul. Waiting, for the moment at dusk where fire will spread through out my entire body and become the protector of the night. It has been like this since I was thirteen when the curse layed its hand upon me. Every night I would have the powers of fire, the stealth of a ninja, and the cunning warrior instinct with swords and fighting to defend my home and the people I love. It all went away at daybreak and I was a normal teenager. This is my weakened state that I loathed the most, but I had to deal with it for the rest of my life.
The sun had just shown over the peak of the mountains, sending long shadows as far as the eye could see. I was sitting on a cliff, right after my transformation occurred. The wind was cool on my face with the warmth of the sun. Looking down, I see a slim but curvy figure underneath a fire red kimono. My black hair was going everywhere and it was always hard to control because of its length. It went a little past my waist, and went to the end of my obi. Since fire was my element, red was my favorite color that I wore often.
The fresh air and sun has always calmed me, so I took a stroll from my wild and crazy village which always seems to be busy day and night. I like the serene and peaceful green forest just outside of my village. Nothing could have interrupted this peaceful morning I have.
That Is until I heard rustling in the buses near me. I turned to the place the noise had come from. Then, out popped the face of my little sister, Aisu. She was panting like a dog with her blue kimono and brown hair flowing in the wind. The same thing happens to her at night only her power is water and ice, making blue her favorite color. Yanking me to my feet, she tried to say something, but was too out of breath to say anything. I waited until she caught her breath and stopped panting.
She turned to me and said, "Hurry, Kasai-neesan, the Lord of the Western lands is at the village right now. Come on!" Not waiting if I said anything in return, she pulled me along through the maze of trees until they stopped at the edge of the forest where the village begun, catching our breath. We walked on further until we saw a crowd of people in the middle of the town. We tried to go through the crowd, trying to catch even a glimpse of the most powerful Lord in the land.
Once we got closer, I finally saw him. His long, silver hair glistened in the morning light. He caught my gaze, and his emotionless gold eyes burned into my red ones. He was tall and very well built and wore a red and white hairori with armor on his chest and back. He wore a fluffy pelt on his shoulder and a red and yellow sash around his waist. The thing I really noticed about him was his emotionless face and the markings of a demon. From what I heard around the village was that he was a dog demon, son of the already past Lord Inu no Tashio (I don't know if that was right or not. Message me if I'm wrong please). I also heard that he hated humans with a passion, why he did, I don't really know.
He turned away from the crowd and walked away, never taking a second glance. I felt a tug on my sleeve, remembering my 15 year old sister was still with me.
"Isn't he the handsomest Lord you have ever seen?" She asked turning towards me. We started walking to our home where our brothers were surely waiting for us.
"He is, but I know for a fact he'll never pay a least a little bit of attention to me. I'm just dirt on his shoes from what I know," I said back to her.
"Oh come on, you could at least dream a little, can't you?"
"Not when I know it's never going to happen in reality," I said back to her.
"Fine," sighing at me, "let's just get home before Okaa-san leaves to work in the fields." We hurried to our small home where I knew our three little brothers were waiting for us to return.
