Inuyasha and it's characters are not my own, I do not claim them in any shape of form this is purely a fan made short story. Enjoy! =P
The warm campfire warmed my cold, fair skin but did not reach my frozen heart. I sighed as my blue and purple eyes looked up at the star-lit sky. A strong wind blew my platinum blonde hair around gracefully. When the wind died down, my hair gently flowed back down to my waist. I shivered inched closer to the fire. I knew it was a hard choice I made, but it was all I could do not to kill her. I know years have passed and she's probably very old and near death by now. It would be easy to take her life and reclaim what should have been mine so very long ago.
"Inuyasha, you silly dog," I laughed, "when will you learn to be patient?" He frowned at me and shook his head. "I want to make you my wife now! Why must we wait for another week? We have a priest to perform the ceremony, you have your wedding dress, and all the guests have surely seen the all the posters put up. Why must I wait to claim the love of my life?" he insisted. Now it was my turn to frown. "The guests know only the date we set. If we act now, they will miss it!" I exclaimed. "Who needs guests? All we really need is each other!" he protested. I sighed and shook my head. "I want things to be traditional like my mother's and father's wedding. Also the people need to see their new leader of the eastern domain. All these things are important." I tried to reason. "Well I suppose we'll do things your way, only because I love you so much." He sighed. I smiled at him and looked into his amber eyes. "I love you too." I whispered. We leaned forward to kiss, but a loud roar stopped the kiss from occurring.
A gigantic dragon demon stepped out of the forest and into the cliff where we stood. "Akina run!" Inuyasha commanded. "No! I will not leave you!" I cried out. The demon roared and shot out blue flames in our direction. The heat was intense and made me break into a sweat. Inuyasha leaped at the beast. "Blades of Blood!" he shouted fiercely. His blood barely fazed the demon. Its scales made strong armor. I pulled out my enchanted mirror. It transformed into my father's old sword. It was made from a dragon's fang that he had slain many years before Akina's birth. I charged the beast and sliced his soft underbelly. Inuyasha used his Blades of Blood on the beast again. It made a deafening roar and shot flames at us again. As I jumped back, the beast caught me under its clawed foot. The nail dug a deep painful wound into my stomach. I screamed in agony and Inuyasha dug his fist into the dragon's belly. The beast released me and snapped after Inuyasha. I stood up with great effort. The monster turned and his tail caught my body with immense force and I felt myself flying through the air. I was dazed and in intense pain. Realization hit my when I started falling. "INUYASHA!" I screamed with all of my energy. I knew it was the end as I fell off the cliff. The last thing I remembered hearing was Inuyasha howling my name in agony.
I had survived that fall only by landing in the deep lake below. My body had drifted ashore. It took a few months to heal and to gain my senses. If I wasn't a demon I wouldn't have survived the injuries. I am thankful my father was a silver fox demon and my mother was a silver cat demon. Their lives are gone but I still owe them everything.
My mind wondered to what happened after that terrible incident. I searched for Inuyasha. I wanted to find him and let him know that his soul mate had survived and the wedding could continue. It took me a few weeks to find him. Once I found him however, I wished I hadn't survived at all.
His sent was so strong, so enticing. I knew I was so close to finding him. I had blocked out all other scents to track him down. Now that I look back on it, I suppose I should have allowed my senses to pick up other scents.
I was surprised that the scent led to a river. He didn't like to swim or do laundry. I continued excitedly. I heard boats beat against a dock. How odd I never knew Inuyasha to fish or steer a boat either. Maybe he had picked up new habits while I had been away. Maybe it eased his pain, since he thought I was dead. I heard his voice and my heart swelled with joy, then I heard another voice which made me freeze. It was a woman. Slight fear filled my heart, taking away the joy I had just felt seconds before. I reached the forest's edge and hid in the bushes.
A priestess was talking to Inuyasha. 'Maybe he's seeking counseling' I pondered. "Kikyo" I heard him say. Odd name but what I saw made my heart stop. The priestess had stumbled into him and he caught her. He held her in a lover's embrace. He kissed her deeply, and I felt my heart shatter. Tears threatened to fall from my eyes, but I refused to shed them. He hadn't caught my scent and I wouldn't allow him to. I ran as far away from that agonizing scene as fast as I could. I felt rage and jealousy. I wanted to kill the priestess. I almost turned around to until another feeling stabbed my heart… betrayal. That was why I didn't kill the priestess and reclaim him.
I tried for years to move on, but no matter how hard I tried, the pain was still there. Every time I thought about it, the agony reopened the deep wound. My mind tormented me with it at least once a day. No matter where I travelled, the pain followed. So now I sit in the middle of this dark forest, close to a fire that will never unthaw my frozen heart.
