Chapter One: Who Am I?
It was a dark and stormy night, rain was pouring, there was not one spot where the rain haven't touch, except the inside of homes. Everyone was gone, some of the demons that starts to go hunting at this time at night were in a hole or something that would keep them from the rain. Hail started pourinf down with the rain, it had become bad now, humans and demons would be stupid to come outside in this kind of weather. It was becoming winter in the Eastern Lands, people barely came outside at this time of the season. The Eastern Lord and Lady stayed in the castle all warm and cozy, under the fire or under their covers, in their beds. The cat demons that guarded the lady and lord was running in the rain to find food, but they had no luck, they were getting last minute meals before the weather got worse. They all went walking back to the castle when a faint cry came to one of the cat demons ears, she started running a different direction from the castle. She saw a basket with a tag attached to it. The other cat demons came running behind her, one of the male cats picked up the basket and looked inside it. A few month old baby was in it.
"What is it?"One of the males said
"It's a baby Ryu!"Azaya said in a soft excited tone
"Lets eat her!"Ryu said as he looked at his sister holding the child in her hands,"What do you think we should do Azaya?"
"Lets take her to Lady Yakina, she'll know what to do with her."Azaya wrapped the young one in her arms with the blanket to keep the child warm
"The lord isn't going to like this very much!"Ryo told her
Azaya and her two brothers Ryu and Ryo went walking down the path back to the castle, the wind was becoming eild, the rain and hail poured faster, they had to hurry. Hurrying back to the castle, the guards shut the gates and walked to the castle, walking in the castle, Ryu locked the door, Ryo walked to the dinning to tell the chief to prepare a small meal for the child and to prepare the mealls for the lord and lady. Azaya walked up the stairs with the child in hand. Walking to the door, she knocked and waited for an answer from her Lady . Lady Yakina said in a soft tone to come in. Walking in, she walked in to the room, she saw the Lord Grestfallen on the bed reading, and saw Lady Yakina sitting at her nightstand combing her hair.
"Milady, Milord, my brothers and I found this child in the Forest of Tsumi, she was wrapped in a blanket in this small basket."Azaya walked to Yakina,"It was too cold to let her stay out there, she would of died, with the rain pouring, and hail dropping, I wans't going to let her die."
"Give me the child Azaya."Yakina told her, Azaya walked over to her, giving the child to Yakina, Yakina grabbed the child and looked at her, she looked like a god, well actually a goddess, her eyes sparkled, they were like a dark blue color(I gave her blue eyes then brown),"She is not a regular child, she's...different."
"What do you mean Milady?"
"Look at her, she's different, Azaya did she cry on the way back to the castle,"She watched the cat demons shake her head,"That's what I had thought, this baby is a Tsumi!"
"A Tsumi...what do you mean,"
"Every hundred years, a baby from Tsumi village will be blessed with the power of being a Tsumi, that child will grow like we do but once she gets to an age where she starts to have these strange feelings she'll stop aging, and I know that will be when she turns seventeen or eighteen, I'm not sure, but this child is both human and a Tsumi Goddess,"
"What should be do with her,"Azaya didn't know what to think of the child, a Tsumi Goddess, her mother told her much about Tsumi goddesses, but she told her that they all died out hundreds and hundreds years ago
"I'm...I'm going to raise her as if she was my own daughter, she will be the next Queen of the Eastern Lands, the heir to the thorne."Yakina rocked the baby in her hands, the child was falling asleep
"I don't think so Yakina, that child...that human isn't staying here in this castle, she's gots to go!!!"Greatfallen said, walking over to his mate, he went to grab the child when he heard her say
"Sweetie she'll die, I cannot allow it, let her stay for now, when she grows she'll do what she wants, remember she's a Tsumi!"Yakina watched him nodd his head then go back to the bed, Yakina looked down at the child and said ,"You shall be called Rin."
Seventeen years later
RIN'S POV
I sat down in my chair in my room brushing my hair. Mother told me that she wanted to tell me something about where Azaya found me and why I have this strange power? I'm seventeen now old enough to court, but I don't want to. My mother Yakina and my father Grestfallen is throwing me a birthday bash tonight, I turned seventeen yesterday, but they decided to have the bash tonight. I got up from my stool and walked over to the mirror, mother gave me this beautiful new baby blue dress. It is wonderful, she got me these baby blue high heels to go with the dress, the whole outfit went with my eyes, the dress sparkled, I had these long gloves that stops at my elbows. I put on some light pink sparkling lip gloss.
I smiled in the mirror then walked to the door to leave, mother wanted me to meet her in the Forest of Tsumi, so I had to go meet her now. Father told me to hurry as I ran outside the entrance, my black horse Cokei was waiting for me, I had to hurry before the party started. Climbing on Cokei's back, he started running into the woods that lead to the Forest of Tsumi. We actually ended up in too many dead ends, but I didn't get it, i had always went this way to get to the forest, so why is it blocked? Cokeis backed away, and went the long way to the forest. It was alittle after dark when we arrived, mother was sitting in the tree waiting all this time. I looked at her jumped down when Cokei stopped. I climbed off his back and walked to my mother. Mother smiled as always, I have never seen her not smile unless she was mad, but that was once when I was younger Azaya and her brother screwed up.
Mother walked up to me, but when she was infront of me she turned to the Tsumi tree, it was a old tree, but it never grew, never showed any signs of oldness, it looked new, like it just grew.
"My dear girl Rin, it is time,"I nodded my head for her to go on with what she had to tell me,"you were found right here in this spot, Azaya, Ryu, and Ryo carried you home,"What was she trying to say,"what I'm trying to tell you my dear daughter, your not really a human, you are a Tsumi Goddess."
"You've got to be joking, Tsumi Goddesses have been dead for thousands of years mother, I can't be...how?"I was now scared I grew to be a goddess well a Tsumi Goddess
"Every hundred years Rin the gods bless only one, I mean one mere child to have the powers of a Tsumi, and the starnge things that have been happening to you, and the powers you possess is a Tsumi , there is no doubt about that Rin!"She nearily almost snapped,"I have known you were a Tsumi since the first day I held you in my arms, as the mother you have known your whole life believe me!"
"I...I...I can't, I'm not what you think I am, I live as a human, and I will die as a human..."I went running into the darkness, Cokei ran with me, I stopped and jumped on his back
Cokei was always there when I needed him the most, I had no friends, no one came near me because I was human, they thought I was disgusting, nasty, a disease. Humans hated me because I grew up with demons parents, I couldn't stand it. I never fell in love because of the situation I'm in now, demons and humans hated me, the only ones that excepted me was my parents, Azaya and her two brother, the castles workers, and the other royal family. No one took me as serious as ever, I had a power that no human or demons has, a power that could kill someone in one second. I didn't understand it, maybe mother was right, I could be a Tsumi, but that is impossible.
Cokei ran in the woods, I told him to go far from the castle, I didn't know who I was, nor did I know what I am. Tears fell form my eyes as we rode off into the darkness, I was missing my birthday bash, I didn't care though, I didn't derserve it. My mother and father tried, they tried taking care of me and did a godd job, but the problem is I didn't try as hard as I wanted to. Cokei came into the Western Lands hours later, I haven't been here in a while, I never thought I would come back here, but here I am in the lands of a demon man, a man that was a lord, a demon one at that.
It was dark and I couldn't see, I could see a dark castle, with many guards blocking the entrance, I got off Cokeis back, and grabbed his reins. We walked to the entrance, two guards pointed spears at me, and the other two had a arrow ready to shoot at me. I was scared but, I continued walking. One of the guards growled and told me to leave the castle, I was never to come here again. I started walking again, but he said it again. I was too stubborn to listen, I wanted to know where the lord was at this time of night, he could be at my birthday bash.
I felt chills going down my spine. The guards pointed, one of the guards let go of his arrow and shot it at me. It didn't hurt at all, I was protected by something, some kind of power, and it was ripping me apart. I growled, my nails turned into a set of claws, my teeth turned into a pair of sharp fangs. And for some reason I felt something trying to rip out of my back. A moment later, a pair of white wings came busting out of my back. I was now scared, somethign freaky was happening to me.
Tears fell from my eyes as the guards came running to me, I saw someone from a distance coming, he was the lord of the west, and his stupid toad servant. I killed two of the guards and injured the others. I had more tears coming down, but it seemed like it didn't matter. The lord came running to me, the guards backed away from me, I backed away too. My claws had fresh blood on them, I was ashamed of myself. As my tears flowed down my face, everything went back to normal, my claws became my nails again, my teeth went back to normal and my wings went back into my back. Mother was right, I am a Tsumi Goddess. The lord came running to me, I heard the toad say that she was dangerous, he meant I was dangerous.
"You truely are a Tsumi Goddess,"He said, walking to me, he saw the blood that surroundedme, I was scared, I killed his guards, and damaged them, I shook as he walked to me,"your foolish you know that don't you? My guards could have killed you if you didn't have this power."He took off his haori and put it on my shoulder, watching if I was going to put my arms through it, and I did,"Lets go!"
"I don't...need help of...a demon."I said, but I had only earned a growl,"I am sorry, but I ranaway for a reason, I'm not going back."
"You have to!"
"Why would you care?"I stared at him, we didn't get that far, we agrue over stuff that didn't matter, and he knew that
"I don't..."He turned and went to walk back into the castle, when he heard something coming from me
"Then leave me be, I don't need yours or anyones help, got it?"I took off his haori and threw it to his feet, then turned away, I whistled for Cokei to come to me, I saw Cokei from a distance, and ran to her, climbed on her back and headed north, to a small town of Kasasagi Town, I know he was watching me leave.
"Shino, Naka."Sesshomaru said then saw two females servants come running to him
"Yes lord Sesshomaru,"The two girls said
"Follow her, see where she is going, inform me when she stops for good!"Sesshomaru demanded as he walked to the demons stables
Cokei walked through Kasasagi Town, many humans looked at me, they had evil faces, their aura was different from a human, like a half breeds. I jumped off Cokei and walked to an inn, I saw a women standing at a inn waiting for customers, walking up to the women, I asked her if she could prepare a room for me, and a post for Cokei. The women told me to leave town, humans that were living with a demons or had demon parents aren't allowed in town. I wlaked away, climbing on Cokei's back, I told her to leave the town, I couldn't stand this, humans hated demons because they killed their families and destroyed their homes, but I was nothing like that. A single tear fell from my eyes, more came after that. Humans nor demons will ever except me, the only one I can depend on is myself, no one wanted anything to do with me. If my mother was right about being a Tsumi Goddess do you think that people would except me, or will they just push me away.
I heard of this lost forest down north, the northern lands was way different, humans there didn't mind if demons walked through the village or if they were associated with one. This lost forest was somewhere in the Northern Lands. I will take me a full day to get there, to the North, so I told Cokei since it was getting dark that we will stop for the night, first we need to find a clearing in the forest or the woods. Finding a small clearing, I jumped off Cokei's back and walked to the river there, it was small but it was big enough for my and Cokei. I gathered wood and tree bark, and other things that could help me to make a fire, I started one and sat next to Cokei, I gave her an apple that was in the trees, first I bit into it then gave it to Cokei, it was going to be a long journey so we were going to have to find food the hard way.
I knew mother was worried, but I couldn't go back. I know father was going to have search parties to come find me, so me and Cokei had to leave in the morning. I know Azaya was searching for me right at this moment, but it didn't matter, I wasn't going back unless I find out why I was chosen to be soemone that is more powerful then anyone else in the four lands. I need to know, I have the right to know. My eyes closed as I started to think.
"Where could she be?"Azaya said as she paced back and forth, she was worried, Rin hasn't came back from the talk that her mother had with her. Lady Yakina had already came back hours ago, but Rin never came back, Azaya saw her brothers run into the castle soaken, the rain was pouring in the Eastern Lands, Ryu and Ryo came walking to her,"Well any luck, do you know where she is, has anyone seen her? WHERE IS SHE?!"
"Sorry Azaya, the only one that has seen her was the front guards, they saw her heading west, passing the Eastern Boarder, she left,"Ryu said as he saw her face change to sad
"The only thing we can do is go to the Western Lands, and see if Lord Sesshomaru has seen her."Ryo saw Azaya's spirit rise,"What wrong with you sis?"
"She's with him, I can fill it, she might not be with him, but she is near the castle, I knew she has always had...had a feeling for the great Lord Sesshomaru!!!!"Azaya walked to the ball room and told Yakina that her and her brother were going west, since Rin passed the boarder, it will take her days to get to the Western Boarder
I woke up hours later, the rain was barely pouring on me and the land, I saw Cokei hiding under the tree, staying out of the rain I told her that she didn't have to go with me to the Lost Forest in the Northern Lands, but he insisted. Cokei was always there for me, so I had to be there for him. I told him to wait under the tree for a few hours while I go to hunt demons to get some food, so that we could leave in a couple of hours. Cokei waited for me, I had to hurry, I could smell Azaya, Ryu and ryo miles and miles away, they knew I was here in the Western Lands, I do hope Sesshomaru doesn't tell them that I'm here, I can't go back. I ran through the woods, and saw many demons gathering around once they saw me, I smiled and transformed, again the same things happen to me, claws got shapter and my teeth became fangs.
The demons smiled and started saying that I was a fighting type. I really wasn't a fighter, but if I needed to fight I would, no matter what no one has faced me face to face without dying. Three of the demons started running to me, I flew above them, A sword suddenly came into my hands, it was a spirit sword, comes and goes whenever it needs to. Those three demons were shocked. Hitting the floor, I looked at them and swung the sword, armor suddenly appeared on my chest. The demons threw everything they had, nothing hurt me, fire glowed in my hands. I threw attacks at the demons. Killed most of then, but two, they escaped, they ran like cowards. I fell to the floor, on my hands and knees I could smell the blood of those demons on my hands, again I was ashamed. My teeth went back to normal, but everything else didn't, I felt my wings folding back into my back, the claws never went away.
I walked back limping, I had cut my leg form the tree. The armor and sword disappeared when the demons died. I walked back to the clearing I left Cokei, but found she was not there anymore. I looked around and saw two girls sitting in the tree, then saw a shadow coming from behind the tree Cokei was at. The girls jumped down and wlaked to me, then the shadow came walking to me, I growled and warned them to give me back cokei and to leave. But they insisted I stay. The shadow came into the light. I was shocked at who is was. Sesshomaru walked from behind the girls and started walking to me. I backed up and growled at him to go away, but he came to back me into a corner, he didn't listen to me.
"Leave me be Sesshomaru, I don't need your help."Sesshomaru didn't listen, when I backed into the tree, I went to climb the tree when the girls came infront of my from the tree, and growled,"LEAVE!!!!"
"Foolish one...why should we,"Shino growled as she saw I jumped down, and flipped over Sesshomaru,"You won't escape girl,"
"Shino!"Sesshomaru called out to her, when he heard her response she gasped at what he wanted,"Take Naka back to the castle, I'll deal with you later..."He watched her gasp, she didn't move so he grabbed her hand and threw her to the side of him, watching her dust the dirt off her kimono, she wipped the blood from her lip and growled,"Disobey me again I will kill you Shino, I can deal with her myself!"I watched her grab Naka's hand and walked away
I didn't say anything, I just stared at him. None of us was talking, I went to face him when I heard him say.
"Azaya and her brothers are here, if you don't want to go back, you better leave now, I know Naka and Shino will tell her where we are, so go."He turned when he heard me ask where Cokei was, he said he was never here with me, Cokei left when they had arrived
"You had them follow me, didn't you?"I watched him turn to me, I felt guilty for some reason, I watched him nodd his head, I went walking to him, when I faced him, the anger in me was rising,"How could you?"When he didn't say anything I walked away. I turned around and looked at him once more and said,"And I thought you were different then my father, but now I see that your not!"
Sesshomaru was shocked by my words, I could tell by his aura, his aura was changing every second, I didn't care, he lost my trust already so why should I care? I walked away, I had to get away, Ccokei was lost within this land, and if Azaya finds him she'll know I'm here, and it's Sesshomaru's fault. if he let me be like I told him to, this could have never happened. I could smeel Azaya near, I ran through the forest, but I came back to the same place I had left Sesshomaru. When I noticed more people coming, I got my claws ready until I heard Sesshomaru's voice.
"Go now Rin, I'll keep her occupied, if you go north without stopping you will come to a waterfall stay there, but if you past the waterfall and leave that place keep going north without stopping, you will be at the Western Boarder, stay there, I'm coming back,"I looked at him then saw whoever was coming came forth again,"go now Rin, if you don't leave now Azaya will know I'm helping you."When I didn't respond to him, he ran over to me, grabbed my hand and dragged me away from the forest, but it was too late Azaya saw us,"Damn she caught up!"
Sesshomaru let go of my hand, told me to follow him, I nodded and ran right behind him, I can fell Azaya following close behind us, when I mentioned it to him, he only growled. We kept running for hours when we came to the waterfall he told me to stay at until he came back. I told him that I couldn't run no more, but he ignorred me, but when I stopped Sesshomaru grabbed my hand and told me we had to keep on going, but I grabbed my hand back. We had to stop, just because I'm not human it doesn't mean I can go on without food or water or even a long rest. Sesshomaru stared at me and growled. I haven't actually had a good rest since I left home, he had to understand. I watched him go ahead and asked if I would have listened to him and went on would he be okay, but he didn't answer.
Probably, I have to remember he is a great demon, his father was the same way, but his father was the great InuTaisho, the only man that was a demon, but he still loved a human I thought as I caught as many breaths as I could, man I was tired
Sesshomaru stopped and rested on a tree, if it hadn't been me he wouldn't have to gt me out of this situation. I walked over to him, I faced him and told him that after I find out what I need to know I would go home, instead of making him travel everywhere to get me out of the situation I was in now.
I had to think was it really important to know who I am then my family, the people that saved me from dying when I was just a baby. The people that helped me return to my senses, to become the women I am now.
I faced him once more, I decided to go home, back to my family as their daughter,"I've decided something,"I saw his brow go up in a question,"I decided to go...home, I'm not continuing this journey to find out who I am anymore, or who has been protecting me all this time...I think it is time to show my true colors."A tear fell form my eyesas I walked away, it would take me days if i didn't find Azaya, but even if I did I know she was going to lucturing me until we got back, I walked down the same road we had traveled on.
More tears fell from my eyes, I really didn't know why this was happening or why I was crying? I looked behind me and noticed that Sesshomaru stayed at the base of that tree. I can go on without him, can't I? No I can't, he helped me and now I'm leaving him alone. This land was a long walk, far.
I can't go back now, I have no choice, I have to let myself go home. I can't continue this anymore, it's not right
