"Help," screams authoress running from two FBI agents.
"You do NOT own Inuyasha," drone on the two men.
"Maybe, but I am the Ultimate Sun Princess, so I own the Milky Way and Hikari along with any other original characters." blows a raspberry at them.
"Repeat after us, I don't own Inuyasha."
"It is too bad you don't own Inuyasha, it's a good anime. Not that you should only Kagome should, but he is his own demon."
Two super ray blasters are pointed at USP's head.
"Fine! I'm sad to announce, I don't own Inuyasha."
Title: Eternal Light
Chapter Title: The Start
The war over the Shikon no Tama was at a stalemate. Kagome and Inuyasha were still at each other's throats, but his love was obvious. Kagome's aim was exceedingly better. Amazingly, Sesshomaru tolerated their presences without trying to kill them. Shippou and Rin left two months ago to start their own lives. Sesshomaru grew lonely and Jaken was not good company. Naraku was furious at losing so many times.
Sesshomaru was on his way home after hunting for two weeks. A faint smell of vanilla caught his attention along with a ki of enormous power. The smell stopped after he tracked it for six miles. A small sparkling female fairy got his eye.
"Stupid, no good Kuro and Shiro. Mistress needs to get to shelter," cursed the silver clad fairy.
After ten long miles of being spied on knowingly, Avary, the white winged girl transported to her lady. Avary's lady's power was high and she grew impatient. Sesshomaru growled in frustration, but he kept his temper. He smelled the heavenly smell from earlier and followed. He went through thorn bushes and jumped over the ravines. His strong legs and blood carried him through. If it wasn't for his quick reflexes, he would have fallen into a trench.
What he saw at the end of his journey took his breath away. A female dog demon was surrounded by two grey, two white, and two silver demons. She seemed to be protected by them. She also knew the demons around her would do her no harm. She carried a small de transformed kitsune much like Sango's pet. Two cats rode on her shoulders and their tails connected behind her neck. One was black and the other white. Avary floated in front. The largest demon carried on air of importance, elegance, and power. She had hundreds of silver seed beads in her white hair. Her grey eyes held the look of years of wisdom and loneliness.
"Hello Avary, where have you been?" purred the woman in a silver kimono.
"I'm sorry, Lady Megami. I have been looking for a place for you to stay during the on coming storm. It is sixteen miles east. We must hurry to get the planting done."
"It will be here," started the black cat, Kuro while Shiro, the white cat finished, "In two hours."
The full demon girl motioned for Sesshomaru to come out of hiding. She meant no harm to the Lord of the Western Lands. She came to his neck with thigh length hair. She brushed against his shoulder causing it to tingle. Her white tail touched to sensitive base of his. He let out something between a growl and purr. She smiled at his response.
"I hope to see you soon, Lord Taisho," she dismissed him without a thought.
The small kitsune transformed with a silver blaze to six feet. Wa, (Peace) flew its smiling mistress off giggling. They stopped at a campsite of a certain group. The lady demon sensed a tree of darkness within a six foot radius.
"Halt, demon girl," shouted Kagome with five arrows ready.
Hikari, the demon in question, closed her eyes and allowed her senses to lead her. She was two feet away from Sango. Mirouko stared at her in awe while Sango rolled her eyes at him. Inuyasha did nothing. Kagome having enough fired, but not quick enough.
"Moonlight Sheild," was called into existence and absorbed the pure arrows. The silver shield surrounded its summoner.
Determined, but fazed Kagome was about to fire more until Inuyasha stepped forward. "That will not be necessary. She is the light goddess, Lady of the Center Lands, and purest demon born."
Hikari (Light) kept a hand on the Sunlight Sword for safe measure. She stopped then spilled a seed from a jar around her neck. The white seed jar glowed with a silver sheen. The black seed jar was dull. She opened the black one.
"Light butterfly extract the dark seed then dark moth plant the light seed." A white butterfly pulled a black seed from the ground then dropped it in the open jar. A black moth planted the white seed from its mistress' hand. A fat water droplet fell on the newly planted seed. Suddenly, a small sprout grew from the seed.
Hikari warily eyed them, but kept the Sunlight Sword sheathed. The shield still protected her. After she felt Naraku headed her way, she transported them to her palace. At that time, it started to pour blankets of water. The palace had oak floors, white walls, grey and white wrinkle free carpets. A grey picture stood out, it was of her parents holding each other. A goddess being held by a demon lord.
"My name is Hikari Aurora Avalon Megami (Goddess). My mother was Selene Dawn Camelot Megami and my father was Lord of the Central Lands." She gave the black seeds to a servant to bathe in holy white light.
After a dark seed was bathed or cleansed, it turned back into a light seed. This change took weeks. A white seed would then replace a black seed. After many years and/ or horrible events, it would go back to black. It was an endless cycle. Every week Hikari extracted six dark seeds around the world then plant six light seeds. A dark moth cannot touch a dark seed, but it plants a light seed. A light butterfly is the opposite.
Mirouko explained to Kagome that she not only controlled all light, but darkness as well. Her sword can burn anything to death while her shield can heal any wound. Inuyasha told of her other weapons. The Starlight Staff is unknown to mortal kind and holds powers of the elements. The Cosmic Ring has Hikari's immortality and is hidden under all mortal eyes. This is for the safety of Hikari's life. They listened to Hikari talk about her parents. A goddess fell for a demon and after a hundred years of suffering, Selene decided to end her pain. Selene could not be with Kage Kaze even in the afterlife.
"Mistress Hikari, one comes from the west while one is from the north."
Solemnly, "I sense jewel shards, tons of them."
"Foolish arrogance. The north one is Naraku, who stole ten black seeds. The one from the west is Sesshomaru. Naraku has come to collect my ring, he brings many demons. He is fifty miles away in Silver City."
Silver City, Gold City, Bronze City, and Light Center are the major cities. They each have three towns or villages branching off of it. Light Center is the capital and palace. It is busy even at night for Light Tower spreads light through the dark night. Many say the Cosmic Ring is hidden in the bright tower. That is a false tale told to distract an enemy.
"Mistress Megami, Lord Taisho has arrived," began Kuro. "Naraku plans to attack from the back," finished Shiro.
"Dense hanyou, Moonlight Shield! Dark moths plant six light seeds around the palace. Kuro and Shiro lead my generals into battle."
Inuyasha makes a bad decision then, "Feh, no female knows how to fight."
"Light leash," muttered Hikari under her breath. A tri-colored leash hooked onto the beads. "Don't speak to me that way, mutt."
"What can you do? Make me sit."
Hikari gave him a lop-sided smirk, "Solar burn."
A loud yelp came from the struggling half dog demon. A gold strand blazed as it worked its burn onto Inuyasha's neck. Whimpering, Inuyasha begged forgiveness. [AN: get it, he begged. Oh well.]
"Do not speak to one's superiors that way, pup. Lunar heal." This time a silver strand glowed, healing him. The bronze strand remained dormant.
She stopped at a sliding door, "Welcome to my home, Lord West. Stellar Release."The bronze strand released Inuyasha. Sesshomaru continued emotionless, but he had his arm back. "You will all stay here until this lets up. You will have your own rooms. After supper, you will bath."
Hikari told each who would lead them to their rooms. She introduced her companions, servants, and such. Wa was the small kitsune while Kuro and Shiro were the talking cats. Sage, Yumi, Bi, Ryo, Chou, and Shin showed them around.
Ryo took Sesshomaru to the gold room next to Hikari's. Sage showed Sango to the purple room across from Kagome's. Kagome followed Bi to the green room next to Inuyasha's. Inuyasha trailed after Chou to the red room next to Mirouko. Mirouko followed Yumi to the blue room.
They followed a flute to the dining hall where a humongous feast was waiting to be eaten. Inuyasha drools as the scent reaches his sensitive nose. Sesshomaru politely takes a seat next to Hikari while Kagome is on her other side. Sango bows to Hikari is respect before sitting. Hikari calls upon four more maidens to join the flutist in a yellow gown.
One is a green toga has no instrument except her voice. The next has on a red Arabian outfit with a clarinet. Another is a blue and white kimono has a harp. The final maiden holds a violin in a purple sundress. The singer sung Moonlight Densetsu and the others played to it. The song was of one females struggles to keep justice in a young world.
They were introduced to Hana the singer, Shina the violinist, Ai the flutist, Taki the harpist, and Honoo the clarinet player.
The six servants led their lady's guests to the bathing rooms. Sango and Kagome shared a pool while the boys had to compromise. Sesshomaru's ears led him to a faint female giggling.
The scene before him made him growl in desire. Lady Hikari was bathing under a waterfall in the middle of the palace's grounds. Taki was washing her long hair in vanilla. The water had crushed vanilla beans and floating vanilla petals and flowers. The water ended at the pool. Taki was humming until Hikari laughed at her. Hikari started to splash Taki to get rid of the tension. Water glistened off Hikari's pale soft moonlight skin. Her hair shone under the moon.
After five minutes, Taki turned his way. She shrieked then rushed to cover her goddess. Sesshomaru smirked at Hikari's bewildered gaze.
Please read and reveiw for Sesshomaru's sake if not for my own. Thank you.
