Midnight Stars

Chapter One

A girl with long raven like black hair, beautiful lightly tanned skin, slender fingers, and the most echanted chocolate hazel eyes you have ever seen looked out the window, staring into the dark night sky. Wondering when someone is going to come for her, and fly her away.

She sighed. 'Like that'll ever happen to this girl..' She walked away from the window spot and sat on her bed with an old brown book beside her. She took in her slender fingers. The girl stared at the book. "Mother… I'm not so sure if my wish will come true…"

She set the book down and took her bed covers over her body and fell asleep. Dreaming of that special someone.. But probably that someone will never come for her… Ever.

The next morning. The sun rose through the wooden windows of the peaceful village. The girl got changed into her everyday kimono. A priestess kimono that her mother gave her when she had died.

When she passes by people always greet her with a nice hello and a warm smile. This village was always so peaceful. No trouble was ever caused here. "Kagome!" Someone called out to the girl. The girl for whom she was called Kagome turned around to see her friend Sango dragging an unconscious monk behind her.

"Hey Sango. Did you hit Miroku again while he was flirting?" asked Kagome giggling a little. Sango scowled. "Yeah. But I just CAN'T stand see him flirting like that!" exclaimed the older girl. "So you like him then?" Sango blushed a shade of pink. "No" She answered. "I'll be back later in the afternoon. I'm going for a walk in the forest." Said Kagome.

Then the young girl began to walk into the forest alone to think. She hummed a beautiful soft melody while walking into the forest. Kagome sat down on a log and sighed. Then a cute little blue bird landed on her lap, looking at her… Like if it was curious on what she was thinking about.

Kagome just smiled at the bird and cupped it into her hands. The bird suddenly flew away. Kagome blinked. She wondered why. Her ears caught the sound of giant foot steps, growling noises and heavy breathing. The girl got really afraid. A demon was coming towards her.

The demon caught the site of her. It was huge, hairy, bloody and red. Kagome saw the heads of other demons in it's hand. Blood dripping down from the cut off necks. The demon came closer to her. "You, girl. Prepare to die in my wrath!" The demon raised it's deadly sharp claws and went to swoop it down to her so she could be sliced in half but it never came. Kagome opened her eyes to see a red cloth. It was warm..

Kagome looked up to see a boy. A boy about her age with long beautiful silver locks up to his waist, light tanned skin, dog ears, fangs and claws. What mostly caught her eye was his eyes. Beautiful golden eyes. She stared at the boy who had just saved her. The boy softly set her sitting on the ground.

The demon growled at the boy. "Bastard! I need her head for my collection!" it stated. The boy just chuckled a little. "Not in your life, pal!" He launched his claws at him, cutting off the demons arm. The demon roared with pain. "Stupid half breed!" The demon launched an attack at the boy countless times but the boy just kept dodging them.

Kagome just stared and watch the fight. But she couldn't take her eyes off the silver haired boy. She watched him fight the demon for her own safety. She was amazed at his abilities. Then she heard the boy growl in pain as the demon's large claws pierce through his stomach and pinning him to the ground.

The large demon laughed. "In matter of minutes half breed… You will be dead for losing a large amount of your blood…" It laughed again. The boy tried to struggle free from the claw, but it really pains. His vision started to get blurry. 'Damn… I'm losing conscious… Not now..' He said in his mind.

Kagome just watched in horror while the boy was being hurt. And she couldn't do anything about it. She felt helpless. Tears started to roll down her cheek. "No one can save you know, half breed. Not even that girl.." The demon looked at Kagome. The boy's eyes winded in horror. The demon released it's claws from the wounded boy and headed for Kagome. "You're next, girl.." It grabbed it's ax and was ready to slice Kagome in pieces. Kagome screamed and shut her eyes tight.

The boy's eyes flashed red. Then suddenly, a large hole was on the demons chest. Where it's heart was. It choked into it's blood and fell to the ground. The body rotted away into dust in the wind. The boy's eyes turned from blood red to gold. He fell down to his knees, grouching in pain.

Kagome quickly ran to his aid. "Are you alright!" The silver haired boy just looked at her then fell unconscious. Kagome was worried that he must have been dead, but she felt his heart beat underneath her fingers. She looked at him with soft eyes. She decided to re-pay him by helping him.

The sun drifted down, leaving no more light. Night had just arrived. Kagome set up camp so she and the boy could stay warm for the night. And to heal the injured boy's wounds. The girl bandaged his wound so it could stop bleeding. She silently waited for the boy to wake up. While she waited. She looked at the boy's features. He was indeed handsome in her opinion. She traced her fingers through his silver locks. They were so soft and silky. "Mn.." She heard the boy's voice. Kagome looked at the boy's face. His eyes were opening. "Urg… Where am I?" He tried to sit up then flinched because of the pain. "Don't sit up." Said Kagome. The boy looked at her. "Look, I don't need your help.." said the boy. Kagome was surprised at his attitude. "Well… sorry… for ever bandaging your wounds." "You what?" "Bandaged YOUR wounds."

"I see.." The boy looked down. "Well thanks then.." He looked away. Now Kagome was really confused. First he was nice then he was rude then he was nice again. Boy, this guy has a weird way for speaking to a girl.

"You should get back home, girl. You're village will be worried about you.." said the boy. He stood up and began to leave. "Wait! I didn't get your name!" Kagome shouted. "My name is…."

"Inuyasha."
